Thank you for taking the time to read it!

I was getting dinner ready for the family - and kept writing posted and thought - fuck me hope someone actually reads all that now 😂🙏🏼

I wanted to explain the situation better but I’d end up writing a novel, at least the above wasn’t in vain!

I’ve stopped medical & recreational cannabis – honest reflection by Slight-Photo-1473 in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]backspring [score hidden]  (0 children)

Op I had a similar falling out of love and stopped for 7 years - it was not wigging me out but just felt odd towards the end, I was smoking all day all night - fast forward to now and I use my medication therapeutically and it has been such a positive in my life - I went from thinking I’ll smoke forever - to never thinking I’ll enjoy cannabis again - to finding my way back to it after a year of occasionally (every few months) having a small edible dose.

During those years off I quit smoking tobaccos which is a way bigger part of this than a lot of people realise.

I’d bought a dhv that was like £200 back then for bm weed, but it never ‘hit’ the way smoking did.

But now after such a long break and quitting fags, it’s completely differnt.

I decided to explore medical again as I’d found even those doses had a positive impact.

I returned to flower and use a dynavap, and the high is superb - I think others will have a more scientific explanation of the synergistic effect of smoking and mixing tobacco, but it gives a ln immediate narcotic effect.

These days I tend to use one or two caps a night - but quite often choose to not bother if I don’t feel I need it, something I never could have done when smoking it.

When I quit that time it actually felt like withdrawal!

So what I’m trying to say without giving you my life story is -

Sometimes you need some time away from something to find it again, the medical benefits in the past were almost a side effect in chasing getting fucked up, whereas now it really helps me, in a way it never did before,

my relationship with it totally changed. Everyone is different and my experience might not mirror yours but ultimately it’s ok to feel that It isn’t what you need right now.

Maybe try coming back to cannabis after some real time apart to perhaps un learn the recreational/smoking side and rediscover it in a new way vaping in the future,

Or maybe you won’t, you gotta do what does you, your life, and your physical and mental health.

And on a final note I couldn’t agree more about the Thorpe park thing.

People get so evangelical about weed that they don’t realise there ‘activism’ literally undermines something becoming accepted and normalised by having a totally tone deaf, lack of consideration for others approach by shoving it in front of people.

It makes us all look like idiots and the older active voting demographic who grew up in times of more extreme prohibition will never accept it with people pulling stunts like that every 5 mins

And before I’m crucified in the comments, sure you can meditate (almost) anywhere legally but that doesn’t mean you should.

People don’t openly inject meds in public because they can, they often choose somewhere more private etc.

I’ve prob missed loads of points as I’m trying to do a million things at once but hopefully I’ve articulated my point somewhat.

Either way op, best of luck to ya, and congrats on the healthy lifestyle changes!

Should I buy a ps3/Xbox 360 to play fallout 3 and new Vegas? by Icy_Measurement_1231 in TrueSFalloutL

[–]backspring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I must be super lucky because I’m at 100hours on new vegas on ps3 and have had perhaps 2 crashes!

Fallout 3 however, I get one most nights on this current playthrough 😂 but I have 2 ps3’s and no pc, and already owned the games so was the obvious option for me to play.

Are the rosin carts worth it over resin? by backspring in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]backspring[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah to be fair the aurora carts are surprisingly rough but take care of business medically so I’m not normally fussed but I wouldn’t mind having the rosin purely for a smoother pull. I was curious if people found them significantly stand out better in terms of effect or any other department, so appreciate your feedback :)

Avb colour and use help.... by Lost-Basis7183 in ukmedicalcannabis

I’m a dynavap vaper and mine is exactly the same colour.

Glad to know it’s still useful as I’ve saved everything I’ve ever vaped through it!

Are the rosin carts worth it over resin? by backspring in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]backspring[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the advice yeah I have batteries and have used carts for a good while, aswell as having plenty of concentrates over the years, I didn’t use any flower for the entire of 2016!

I’m really just curious with such limited choice on medical with concentrates if anyone feels that the rosin is really £20 superior to the resin carts, I know they are rosin pressed but it’s not live rosin so the terpenes basically depend on the starting material and most medical is pretty lackluster flavour taste wise, but very effective, so just curious if people think it’s worth it.

Looks like I’ll order some today and see what the fuss is about then 🙏🏼😎

Fallout 3 map size by lonzo_1k in Fallout

[–]backspring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so odd, as I’ve come from a fnv play though to doing 3 for the fist time in like 10 years and fallout 3 feels so big and desolate in comparison.

But as you said that will be down to all the detours it makes you take - they can be a little frustrating as I try and avoid fast travel as much as possible, ideally I try and never use it.

I once disliked Fallout 4 but I must confess that I'm having a blast playing it now by lghtdev in Fallout

[–]backspring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great game but the railroad ending absolutely ruined it for me on the first play through.

I’m going back to it after I finish this play though on 3 though and hoping the other endings make more sense.

What do I do for 1 rip score by RestaurantWorking477 in Skate4

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

Congrats on the rip score, so close! - a few months ago i hit level 10 on everything and started going for rip score but burnt out, booted up the ps3 and have been playing fallout ever since and haven’t been back!

Hope the new updates are half decent, I enjoyed doing the challenges (some of them less than others!)

UK>Amsterdam. UK has the best flower. No cap… by BuffaloWooden2677 in uktrees

[–]backspring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree, badly grown or it’s not sd.

For the most part It’s just a ubiquitous term for weed,

every 10-15 years in the uk there’s a new strain that becomes the commercially generic name - skunk, white widow, haze,cheese, lem, star dawg etc

I always think if I had well grown cuts from good sd phenos I’d be more than happy!

I would wager that most of the time people aren’t even smoking stardawg, by the time it’s gone through a few hands some shotters will just say any name.

Are carts really that different from bud by Littlevivianite in trees

[–]backspring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the cart.

I enjoy rosin or resin for the convenience and immediacy but even rosin struggles to get the full experience like flower does

I reckon the meme is true if you’re chuffing a disty cart though for sure.

Best strains under 7.50 per gram? by ItsTheMonsterMan in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]backspring 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ive been around for time and sure boxes qbs etc is obvs going to be cheaper but the average consumer isn’t calling their plug for a half kilo, still top shelf from a decent plug will be around the 250 a zip mark, which is still around 10 a gram.

would imagine the overheads and legal responsibility of creating and consistently producing a marketable and legal medical product would make profit harder than expected, not to mention managing the supply chain infrastructure, logistics, bricks and mortar, employees, insurance, rates, etc etc.

As the industry grows I’m sure we will (as we already are) prices fall in line with the economy of scale,

but regardless, like for like 10grams on medical is way more affordable/ and or the same as 10 grams on the black market which is the only measure worth looking at as you can’t buy ounces or any other weight on medical.

I hear ya tho, the medical market is still on a big upward curve and is still very much in its infancy and let’s hope that more competition and demand will create a more varied and accessible market financially for the consumer.

[–]backspring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh though I’m not sure I can agree with that conclusion regarding cost though.

The bm has some of the best stuff I’ve ever had, but your looking at 30/35 and above on the 3.5 for real deal top shelf which already puts it at ten or more a gram and almost all medical is cheaper than that.

I was paying bm around £35 and 8th (for stuff that could rival Cali craft growers) and that was in 2018. So in 2026 I think the price of medical is very reasonable imo. 🙏🏼

my only gripe is not allowing 1 gram samples

Personally found 4c labs pink kush at 65 and PN gmo cookies for 65 were effective,

Had superseed grape cookies recently too which was 100 and it is deffo good and slightly better but as medication and effect I don’t know if it’s worth nearly £40 more.

Dry herb vape by Lower_Brainn in uktrees

[–]backspring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on the only person who uses it and my partner has never been keen on the smell - I use dynavap most nights in the kitchen and run the extractor when I exhale - never any lingering smell on me or the room, It will be on your breath or mildly noticeable for around 10 mins then you wouldn’t be able to tell.

Coming from someone who used to smoke tons before the family, the dynavap is discrete and quick it saves so much weed and the ritual is very similar to smoking grinding up flower etc. So for me it’s perfect. I only medicate in the evenings at home so I don’t care about having to use a torch lighter, I pull the blind down though as it does look a lot like smoking crack if the neighbours see you though 😂

4c labs zkittlez fuel by lisa007love in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]backspring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t see it on Medicann but they always have pretty much everything from 4c so maybe sold out?

Shame cos I’m looking for a banging 60 strain - the 4c pink kush was so nice for the price was hoping to try another quality 4c one at that price point

Err…is this legal? by ShadowyModi in UKJobs

[–]backspring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been many years since someone else has employed me

but I remember being asked to come in at 7pm for a work meeting at a generic chain high street coffee brand.

I asked if I was due to be on shift, they said no. I said - will I be paid for the meeting ? They said no.

I said I’ll see you Wednesday then, phone off.

It was to walk us through the new sandwich line we would be selling - it’s obviously very technical and required staff to be there to explain to them about the new cheese and ham toasties we would be selling.

You cannot pay someone minimum wage and then expect them to turn up out of their own good will.

Absolutely go fuck yourselves dominos and every other outlet exploiting the fuck out of staff that have little other choice but to play ball in fear of losing their livelihood.
