Getting high

Just smoked a half hour ago and the high is real good. Listening to Buddy Rich Big Band 1978 performance in Holland. You can't go wrong. If you want a sample before the full deal, Youtube 'Buddy Rich Big Band Birdland.' I'd love to hear some impressions from others on his performance here.

I was listening to a recent episode of RadioLab where they were talking about the effects of psilocybin and how profound the impact of it was on the lives of people who had tried it in various studies. I want to try it, but I don't know what I'm looking for, I guess. Should I just ask my weed hookup if they can get me some shrooms?

Doesn't hurt to ask.
Shrooms I've only done once, and it was fun. But it was as extreme as I wanted it to be. Then again, I only had almost 3g's

Do you guys ever use a vape (like a MFLB?)

If so when do you prefer to smoke and when do you prefer to vape?

Do you prefer smoking in social settings and vaping when you're by yourself for example?

i have friends with volcanos. I like them a lot but I'd rather smoke joints/bowls. Just because the act for me isn't that satisfying. I do get just as high although some of my friends say they don't get that high off a vape. It's fucking great for your lungs though. And it doesn't burn all the THC in the weed so you can vape bud and then reuse that weed in a bowl/joint/etc. Great for money saving.

i've used a mflb and a iolite. i preferred the latter for some reason or another, but i haven't used a stationary one, which i've heard produce better effects. the lack of a pungent aroma makes them pretty nice for use in apartments etc. i never tended to get exceptionally stoned off of the things.

smoking hits me more instantly, generally to a greater extent, and i much prefer the ease of passing things around in a group. i prefer smoking in general, really.

For a while, two years ago or so, I was an avid 'vaper' I have two MFLB, an Arizer Q Extreme, I loved the lack of smell, the focused high, they appeal to the gadget nerd in me....but...the high just wasn't the same as a good ol' J, or a bong rip, etc of combustion. So, I eventually went back to combusting, which is counter productive, because I was feeling great from only vaporizing. I discovered dabs about two years ago, and slowly they have become my main way of getting high/medicating. It just cannot be beat(as long as you have properly purged wax, BHO). They also have Vape pens(persei,omicron,cloud,gpen, et al), very much like e cigs, you just load a glob of wax on the heating element, and you have a concentrated dose of marijuana at the press of a button. Pretty sweet for on the go, although I wouldn't recommend a pen as a main device. Get a nice oil rig and titanium nail for home use. Sogood.gif

As far as social vaping, I personally hated trying to explain my MFLB to people(so many charred, wasted trenches) as well as waiting around for my Arizer vaporizer to heat up, and fill the bag. So, that was another reason that led me back to combustion, I usually smoke socially, so the quicker/easier the better. Some oil pens are also tricky and frustrating to explain to the unfamiliar.

Anyone ever experiment with CWE for extracting codeine from paracetemol?

I'm having a hard time trusting myself with the end product.
 
I just bought a pipe for my girlfriend as she doesn't enjoy smoking tobacco (yeah I'm from UK). However, I forgot to buy the filter plates for it :( Do you guys know of any household alternatives?

Last night I got so high I tried masturbating 3 times in a row, like no breaks. I came the first time and then I was still hard and said fuck it and came second time with some effort. I was still hard after that and went at it for about 10-15 minutes before deciding it wasn't worth it and went to bed.

I've done this. Only got to 2 times as well. Feels good man.

High jerking in the shower is the best.

Source: NOT personal experience, just testimony from others.

I can also attest to this. Feels good man.
 
I've been giving my new Volcano a bunch of use every time there are guests and the whole big ass bag is quite social.

There are still two scenarios that have not happened yet but WILL happen in any of the upcoming Volcano parties:

- Does the bag explode if you don't stop the air flow?
- Can one person inhale an entire bag of vapor without passing out?

It's a shame there is such a small group of GAFfers here in Madrid. That would make for one hell of a meetup.

The bag will fail eventually, it's not very dramatic however, just a slight pop and then all your vapor escapes.

It's hard to inhale a whole bag, but I've seen it done.

Apart from all the hay, mud and motor oil.

They put all kinds of garbage in that stuff to bulk it out, I stopped smoking it years ago. I'd honestly rather go without.
Well obviously you got some shitty hash. You do realise not all hash is like this? proper hash is a thing of beauty.

It's surprising to find out how many people around me smoke. Was just smoking with some guys from work. lol One a friend that I knew smoke but the other I just found out.

I Iove smoking by myself.
A dub lasts me 5-6 days of bong and vape hitting.
If I were to roll blunts, that would be just 2 blunts.
Fuck that

Everybody I work with smokes and a good lot of us smoke [weed] regularly together after work. I work in the food industry so it's mainly ages 18 to 22, but from my perspective a good majority of younger people smoke or have smoked. Maybe it's the Houston area, but there is a lot of weed going around. I mean, a whole lot of weed out there. It is so easy to purchase whatever you need.

Cleaning your bong for less than $4:
1. ibupropyl alcohol (.97) at walmart for a huge bottle
2.sea salt. ($2-3)
fill normally, put salt in, shake, pour, repeat. cant save the resin though but makes it absolutely brand new again!

Guys, can someone explain to me exactly how a bong works?

Might sound silly but all I've ever had is joints with weed and tobacco in them, never tried any of the other methods.

When keepin it real goes wrong. Very, very wrong.

The water cools the smoke.

We in Austria almost never smoke blunts, way too expensive. We always use tobacco, but that's just because almost anyone who smokes weed, smokes cigarettes too.

While it's true that hashish is often lazed with shit, there is nice hashish around. The softer it is the better the quality, if you can easily knead it, it's great and it doesn't even taste that bad. If it's good you get way more bang for your buck, the only downside is it doesn't taste that great.

Dude thank you! Been wondering about this for a long time. Can't wait to try it out now. Any ideas on how to clean the bowl/piece?

Anyone here got experience with portable vapes? Looking into it now but there's a lot of mixed feelings about them.

I had an Iolite for some years now. not bad for a portable but i am sure there are better out there now. The thing that bothered me was that you have to use lighter gas. I would rather have a portable vape that uses some kind battery.

EDIT: a good lighter and that one http://www.vapbong.com/en/ is still my portable vape of choice when i am out.

Magic Flight Launch Box uses a battery. Probably the best tree related purchase i've ever made. And so far the best portable vape i've seen.

So what's the difference between bowl/bong to a vape/portable vape? I see descriptions saying the high is more heady, what does that even mean?

with bongs you burn all the herbs which makes it "unhealthier" than lets say a spliff. the water filters most stuff but still you inhale tar and other shit you dont want in your lungs, just less than with spliffs.

Vapes and portable vapes work the same way. they heat up to about 356 °F to 392 °F so all the THC, CBD/CBN, ethereal oils gets vaporized and not burned!

A more "heady" high means more trippy and a more mentaly relaxing high.
While a "body" high is more physically relaxing (muscles, pain relieve, etc.).
A CBD heavy strain will get you that, while usually sativa dominant strains tend to be more of an uplifting high. (higher THC vs CBD ratio). Over the last few years we have seen a lot of interest in CBD heavy strains since medical MJ took off. In the end its all preference if you dont depend on it medically. I prefer and usually smoke more sativa dominant or even 100% sativa stuff. I just dont like getting "stoned" heavily beceause i still want to stay productive while being high.

Hmm all the highs I've had are body highs. Haven't had one of those heady highs. Later this year when I hopefully get my own place, I'll get a big vape and try it out.

Yeah thats probably because people/dispensaries now tend to use strains that are faster flowering and higher yielding. Probably because of business decisions and demand. That would be heavy indica dominant strains or indica/sativa hybrids that got back crossed with an indica dominant strain to get more indica dominant phenotypes out of them.
My hazes dont yield as much as every indica dominant strain and they flower for around 16 weeks!! Thats about twice as much time as for the others.

It's nice when you get a new dealer and he ends up being a really cool guy who gives you a good amount for a fair price. Dude's professional too he gives me my stuff in a vacuum sealed bag. Got stoned and played some Blaz Blue and Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure with my bro. Good times.
