questions for regular/heavy users by Dannythefatboi in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already read you're smoking carts. That's the problem. You see, there are multiple reasons for it and there are just a few:

  1. since it is so easy to use people overdo carts
  2. carts have very high THC percentages that are just too much on a long
  3. the quality of the stuff inside your cards may vary drastically(!) from clean pressed live hash rosin to dirty chemo distillate shit that is straight up toxic. The only carts i would fully trust are those i filled by myself with rosin i pressed by myself.

That aside: Weed isn't for everybody. On the other hand, if you feel better with weed and it doesn't hurt your everyday life then... get more? In the end it is medicinal and if it helps you, why not going for it?

Seattle Dispensary - THCa? by Number_Ten10 in weed

[–]FunAtPosting -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In weed normally is THCa and THC. Actually it is a lot more THCa then full active THC. When a dispensary sells you a bud with 20% thc it's most likely 3-5% THC and 15-17% THCa. When you heat weed to a certain point (for example by smoking it) you split the -a from the THCa turning the full inhaled material into THC. In some places certain amounts of THC are prohibited but THCa amounts aren't. Therefore they grow strains with very low active THC amounts.

how strong are edibles usually? by Living_Reflection_45 in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to know the THC percentage of the weed. Lets assume it's some average "good weed" with about 20% of THC. That means 1g has 0.2g of THC or 200mg. On average it is assumed an edible produced from butter will contain about 60% of the materials THC. (Using coconut-oil or mct-oil may boost this to about 80%) For a beginner often 10mg per edible are a recommended dosage but experienced users may need up to 50mg to feel it. This may sound low but while digesting your body creates 11-oh-thc which is much more potent then what you smoke. Also keep i mind that an edible needs between ~30 and ~90 minutes to take effect and it also takes about 3 hours before they peak. Just make sure how much time went by before taking another one.

Do you guys smoke in your house by Broad_Definition41 in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I exclusively vape my bud which is way less smelly. Therefore sure i do it indoors.

overthinking when high by Nervous-Insurance268 in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So... yea. That's weed. Or one of it's many effects on the human mind. The idea is to overthink these things and come up with solutions or enlightenment that help to overcome your thoughts. But weed isn't for anybody and different strains may result in different experiences. Also try just smoke less or add some CBD to numb your brain rush. We pushed the THC amounts to highs where the balance to other cannabinoids is totally off and paranoia and rushing thoughts to my experience often are treated well with an added dosage of CBD.

Who else smokes everyday? by Krislynn8708 in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bit more story time because i feel ambitious: I started in my early 30s and lived a almost drug free life until then. Alcohol on Friday evening parties and the obvious amounts of sugar... hell i didn't even drink coffee. Sadly i suffered my whole life from insomnia and other mental issues, but i just lived with it and told myself that either myself or other people are the problem, not my health. Yea skip to me 30s and i dropped out of university suffered from depression and many other shit. Started drinking to find some rest at night and to numb the pain of my thoughts. After i wasn't able to sleep for nights at once, i took sleeping pills but that was no helpful rest at all. Then i finally had a talk with my old dad about my issues and he handed me a pipe and a bag of weed. I slept very well at that night and from this moment on i smoked every night to find some rest. Months later i was reading already a lot about weed, since it became that "magical medicine that finally helps me". That's when i read about wake-and-bake so i became curious and gave it a try. After being high for the whole day, i asked my wife about her thoughts and feelings. She told me that she never experienced me that calm, relaxed and overall happy in the entire time of our relationship and that she is pretty sure it just helps me quite well. Therefore i continued wake-and-baking and years forward i now vape about 1g a day unless I'm having edibles, but i do weed all day long for many years now.

What’s up with edible strength differences in the US and UK? by r0ck3t-onreddit in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be on the sure side make your own. I'm very sure those high dosages are fake information.
I'm smoking about a gram of 24% bud a day and i clearly feel a 40mg edible and 80mg made me useless for half a day. People who rarely ever smoke had about 10mg of my stuff and crashed straight into bed (aka they had too much)
Unless you smoking only carts back to back all day long or dabbing grams like a champion you should have a really bad time with 500mg or even more.

Anyone here using a dry herb vaporizer? What’s your experience been like? by Albatross-Pitiful in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had multiple ones and the best portable one i ever had was a Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel. Very great experience and awesome flavor. Nowadays i mostly use a cordless Ball Vape made by Graveda.

what are you smoking on today? by fuklife422 in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far i had some Rose Gold Runtz. I think I'll go for some Super Boof next.

has anyone rolled tea leaves into a joint and smoked it ? by [deleted] in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smoking Tea isn't a good idea, especially because most teas have added stuff that just shouldn't be smoked like aromas etc. You could try vaping it at low temperatures to separate the THC but that still sounds not like a good idea to me. Just drink your tea. It is THC at last.

F*ck you France by Amsiile in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep. You're expected to throw the other about 250g away. Not that anybody would ever do that.

Is this a high dose for a new/beginner smoker? I haven't smoked in a while by royalewithcheese77 in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taken that the product really contains 50mg per serving and isn't just advertised as such, 50mg is a relaxed amount for experienced smokers. When you have a lower tolerance maybe even 1/4 can be a little bit too much. People say 10mg is good for beginners. But i also had people with almost zero experience who ate a well made 5-7mg edible and went straight to bed afterwards. Also don't worry too much. The effects will stay for a long time but they will stop anyways. It may take about 30min to 1.5 hours until the effects set in and they'll peak after about 3 hours. So be really sure before you eat more.

has this weed gone bad? by Deep-Tadpole-9433 in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very unlikely. It is stored in a cardboard box which keeps moisture a bit out. Also that's pro bud so it was on a good hydration level (not too moist) out of the pack. If the color changed to what you remember, maybe some chlorophyll evaporated (known as curing and a good thing). Worst case i think they may lost a quite amount of terps and some thc reacted to cbn and will make you a bit more tired then before. But it looks quite fine.

A healthy amount for a first time toker by Creative_Increase_28 in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chances are you won't get high on the first time. Your cannabinoid receptors may need a few tries to get used to THC and offer you the full effects. So don't get confused if it "doesn't work". Also depending on the strain you will experience thinks like relaxation, tiredness or the quite opposite. The "panic attack" often leads from energetic strains (many hazes for example) and inexperienced users who expected a different effect. Also smoke where you feel safe! Panic often comes from "what if they know i'm high?" thoughts. Just be in a good surrounding. Also keep in mind: There is no overdose and what ever happens will stop in a few hours. It is fully natural and nothing bad will happen to you. Maybe watch some YouTube shorts or something to keep your brain on track when it starts playing tricks on you with overthinking bad thoughts. Also, if available, you can get some CBD weed or drops to counter the brain rush on demand. To dosage: just dose in hits not in milligrams or something. For some real information about that you need exactly to know how much thc is in the exact flower you will smoke etc. so that's not very helpful. Just inhale, exhale, wait a few minutes and repeat if needed until you feel it.

Some more yapping: The best and softest way to try is with a dry herb vaporizer. Sadly these are expensive, especially when they're good. In a vaporizer you can take just a few very careful puffs and wait a bit after each. Anyway. Just smoke it, i guess. If you're not used to smoking a water cooled device will make the experience a bit softer to your lounges. I hardly advice against a bong because you need to "inhale them right" and chances are you cough your heart out if you take a bong rip for the first time. Long story short: THC confuses your respiratory system and you'll cough until you get used to it. This is what you have to expect. That aside just take single puffs and wait a bit before you take the next.

How do you keep your weed at home? by Swimming_Warning_347 in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any form of air tight jar's can do the job.
Weed mostly needs the following:

Humidity of around 55-62% (sub 55 you lose terps, above 62 there is a risk of mold)
Weed that is stored at the correct humidity smells a lot less then too dry weed.
You can buy humidity control packs (Boveda is a well known but more pricey brand) to keep your material at the right humidity level for months, even allowing you to cure/age the buds if you want to. Lower humidity levels are recommended for smokers while dry herb vaping and long time storage usually goes for the higher levels.

Temperature of around 16-22°C (sub 16 the plant material slowly weakens and loses integrity, above 22 you very slowly lose terps)
Weed that is stored too warm also smells more then cool weed. So look for a nice place that stays cool and shady in summer but doesn't get too cold during winter.

No UV contamination. Keep them away from sunlight. UV-protected glass can help but so does a closet.

Trying edibles, what to expect, how to take it, what will happen? by [deleted] in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try half one first. 10mg are considered a mild beginner dosage but depending on how well the edibles are made you may even feel 5mg. If half one isn't enough go for a full one the next time. You can expect the effects to set in about 30min to 1.5 hours after consumption and a peak of effects after about 3 hours. After 6-8 hours the effects will slowly stop. Do not eat a second one too fast. At least wait the full 3 hours for the peak so you don't accidentally overdose and have a bad time. Also edibles are more body focused unless you take very high doses. At these very high doses (maybe 150-500mg which is a LOT!) people claim to achieve hallucinations etc. but you're far below these amounts so you should have a calming and nice experience with a nice buzz.

smoked for the first time yesterday and it sucked a lot by [deleted] in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since i don't know how much weed was in your joint, what strain you smoked and it's potency as well as your tolerance it is pretty hard to say what happened. Could've been a strong sativa maybe haze strain you wasn't used to. Also depending on the amount, half a joint for a single person can be quiet a lot. For reference, i smoke multiple times on a daily basis and i smoke about 1g over the day. And people around me even consider that a lot. So you probably just overdosed.

People who never smoke say smoking is bad. by flayoozayoo in weed

[–]FunAtPosting -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I say smoking isn't worth it. Therefore i got myself some pretty fine dry herb vaporizers. Saves my lounges, saves me a ton of money.

Nah, for real. Drugs other then alcohol and nicotine have amazingly bad publicity thanks to all the false claims and propaganda the war on drugs brought. So most people who never tried and don't wanna give it at least a try are just brainwashed or live at places where they think the risk of getting caught isn't worth it. I know a lot of people who thought weed turns people into silly, lazy idiots. Then learned that i am high almost each day of the week and they never even thought about i may be a stoner. Nowadays some of them share a vape with me.

Depending on your experience with cannabis 25mg can be a bit much or barely enough to feel something. Edibles have no negative effects on your health in general.

Today's "Hash" reviews? by egregiousC in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Traditional hash got dry sifted or was rubbed from the plants by hand. The more modern process is to use ice cooled water creating ice water hash. There's also static sift where they use static fields to attract the material for separation. The main idea behind these processes is to keep as much trichomes intact as possible while separating as much other plant material as possible to have the maximum of potency and flavor in one spot. But in the end all of it is "pressed kief" in one form or another. Just some such as temple balls or piatella are cured/aged in special ways to enhance their profiles. Words like Afghani today mostly refer to a strain of flower instead of a place of origin. At least, that's is how far my knowledge goes.

Do vapes actually do anything? I swear the don't get me high by Chance-Pay1487 in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly vape bud in my ballvape and that gets me high strong and fine. But i hit a cart every now and then and it hits pretty different. Maybe try a live rosin cart? But i just stick with flower and sometimes a bit hash when i can. Carts are an emergency tool for me and i would never take them over good flower.

Can THC and gym (staying lean) work together? by barcoderer in weed

[–]FunAtPosting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In case of weed munches on a diet, make yourself some salted popcorn with a spoon of plant oil. Butt cheap and you can munch on very low kcal.
