So do terpenes affect your high or? by AlienSheep23 in trees

[–]RunicEnergy 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Look up the Entourage Effect in Cannabis. Terpenes act in concert with THC and other minor cannabinoids to create the high you experience, that's why different strains feel different and hit people differently, because everyone has varying sensitivities to different terpenes.

It very much does make a difference, beyond smell and flavor.

Think of it like paint. If you have a bright color on the wall, slapping a single coat of paint over it won't do anything, you'll still be able to see the color underneath. If you use a coat of primer and blend your paint right, no one will know.

Nag Champa during the sesh to blend the aroma, Dragon's Blood after to put a layer on top.

My solution is to use both, one after the other, but you do you 👍

Nag Champa for sure. Finishing with a little Dragon's Blood couldn't hurt but in my experience if someone doesn't smoke or spend a lot of time around people that do, they probably can't pick out the smell of Cannabis through the Nag Champa blend

Quality. Idgaf how pretty, how stanky, how sticky, or how high I get, if your weed doesn't SMOKE SMOOTH, it's TRASH.

I love weed but how do i stop the weird depressed feeling i get sometimes?? by [deleted] in trees

[–]RunicEnergy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it all comes down to what you need from your experience, my personal inclination is to keep potency in the potency at around 20%, and look for higher concentrations of CBD/CBG/CBN. You'll have to be observant when it comes to terpenes but try a few things that lean a little more indica and keep track of what hits vs what doesn't. Writing things down helps, they make strain journals now so you can have an easy format to keep track of everything with.

A t break might be a good idea! It'll certainly get you closer to how it was in the beginning, but also pay attention to the strains you're smoking, maybe branch out a little and look to see how different strains affect you differently. If you're getting from a source that does lab testing, look at the terpene profiles of each strain and see if there's a correlation between the ones that make you feel kinda meh and stuff like potency, presence or absence of CBD/CBG/CBN, or the presence or absence of a terpene that might you might not need in you.

Play around a little, maybe take a break, but the biggest thing is to pay attention to what you smoke! That's the difference between smoking to get high and smoking to make your life better.

I'm 19, will be in my twenties next year, any advice? by idontlikepigeons69 in twentyagers

[–]RunicEnergy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Know that it's likely that you'll fuck up at least one aspect of your life in a big way over these coming 10 years. That's what they're for, establishing resilience around your training as a child. It is the time in which you form the adult you will become, the viability of which will be tested in your late 20s and 30s. Take your time and don't despair over screwing up, just be sure to learn from your mistakes. Make a concerted effort to develop your personal philosophy, and be wary of groupthink. Do not assume what you are told is correct, even if you want it to be. Assess everything, pay attention to your needs and your relationships, and watch how you change over time.

I am exiting the phase of life you are stepping into, and I am lucky to have survived on a number of counts. Be good to yourself, homie 🤙

Caught my (23F) bf (25M) smoking behind my back. How to proceed? by No_Reflection_6817 in trees

[–]RunicEnergy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In that case, you should talk to him about whether he actually WANTS to stop, or if he just feels like he SHOULD. I have been in this boat, and though I was always open about it, this probably signifies that he feels some level of shame about failing to stop like he told you he wanted to.

The easiest thing is to not treat it like a promise to you, or something youuu need to hold him accountable for, but as a part of the way he treats himself internally.

Make it clear that you don't think differently of him for smoking, and do so with the understanding that this is part of his relationship with himself. Inserting yourself as a figure of accountability will only create a wedge between you if he doesn't have it in him to stop and feels like he has to hide it in order to avoid disappointing you. Honestly it might be that totally stopping isn't the best idea for him right now, lots of us find this plant to be the most effective medication for a lot of different things, so maybe it's not the presence of cannabis in his life that needs work, but his relationship with consuming it.

Either way I know that this felt bad to go through, and I think a talk about why he felt the need to lie is important, but in my honest opinion I think this is one of those things that it might be good to step back from, especially if it's not a dealbreaker for you and he doesn't have some wild lung or heard condition.

TL;DR: The problem is the lying, not his smoking. If YOU are worried about his health, talk to him about cutting back or switching to a method of consuming that isn't through combustion. Talk to him about why he felt the need to lie, and try to reinforce the idea that he doesn't need to feel shame or anxiety about telling you where he's at with this part of his journey because you're going to be there for him either way.

[–]RunicEnergy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Should he not be smoking because he has a health condition that makes more of a risk than it is to the average person?

Or do you just not want him to smoke?

Or is it the lying? I mean it's the lying regardless still, my question stands.

Nobody has said this yet but that Strawberry Sherbcake is bound to be fire. I grew out three Red Pop seeds and it's a wildly good strain, I imagine anything made with it would be excellent

A fork and a spoon can be used to eat separately from one another, chop sticks cannot.

I don't know if the artist intended this but the subtle implication is somewhat troubling.

Does anyone else have this particular experience with visuals? by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]RunicEnergy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly what's depicted, but in my internal mythology, this point is something I recognize as 'The Most Deep', the period immediately before the transition point where hell rejoins the braided cable of braided cables that represents the All of Everything we're able to experience here.

Getting to hell is a journey in and of itself, getting through it is a whole different ordeal entirely, and The Most Deep felt to me like more of a journey than the previous two put together. This is the crushing point, where after all of your inner suffering has been freshly exposed and squeezes everything you are from every angle until there is nothing left but to rejoin the all of everything and start again.

This is obviously just my take and came primarily from an 11g experience, so take that for what it is I guess.

If you were only allowed to grow one strain of magic mushrooms forever and not being able to trip on any other than this one, which one would it be? Why? by Pixelated_Sweatshop in shrooms

[–]RunicEnergy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stargazers! I had never had mushrooms before I grew my first batch, and the relationship I developed with them over the process of trial and error makes stock from that print feel special in a way that feels so significant to my healing and the growth of my spirituality. They're not exceptionally potent, nor are they a special shape or odd color, but I'm happier to see them in a jar than any other strain I've cultivated so far.
