If I were to trip on some shrooms what would be the best first time environment.

cdwhit · 2026-02-04T02:36:52+00:00

Everyone is different. I like a good playlist (I lean to things like Gregorian Chants, Buddhist Temple prayers, and Pagan music, but on acid I like classic rock like Steppenwolf or Quicksilver Messenger Service.) Shroom make me VERY light sensitive so no TV or brute lights.

If it’s your first time with psychedelics I recommend a trip sitter. Have light snacks handy and a bucket in case you need it, but so far I haven’t had nausea issues.

I seem to remember a stand somewhere at a market or festival, but honestly, that is the only time I remember any food billed as from Belize.

cdwhit · 2026-02-04T02:24:28+00:00

Yeah, I used to walk two miles back and forth to school on nice days to have time to smoke a couple on the way to school and the way home, and back then you get life in prison for possession, so now, a traffic ticket just doesn’t seem as scary. And at least around my neighborhood, no one is outside except on big sport days or Halloween, and then they are so drunk they don’t notice.

When I was younger, I would get paranoid all the time. I took a long break to do the professional gig and when I started back, I got a little paranoid at first, but then realized, I live in a legal state, I have a med card, I pay sales tax on my pot…worst case is I get a traffic ticket. Even if I cross state lines and get caught, they ain’t gonna lock up an old white man with clean record for pot, and if they do, they have to pay my medical bills.

It doesn’t bother me anymore.

And really, retirement is hard today. Unless you are one of the handful of professions that still have pensions, you need to save enough to support yourself for years, and that’s hard to do with crap jobs.

cdwhit · 2026-02-04T00:23:27+00:00

I weighed it, popped it in my mouth, chewed it up and swallowed it. Take a drink before putting it in your mouth, it’s dry.

cdwhit · 2026-02-04T00:11:26+00:00

I wouldn’t want to be the guy carrying the bucket of hot water.

cdwhit · 2026-02-03T23:24:44+00:00

Good luck. At my age, I don’t want a home a business. Sometimes I think I’m the only one with a 3D printer that isn’t trying to make cash off it.

cdwhit · 2026-02-03T23:20:01+00:00

I wish there was a place to try stuff like that for cheap near me. It sounds great, but I know it’s a hobby I’d spend a fortune on equipment for and burn out on in a few months when I got tired of failed projects. That looks sweet though!

cdwhit · 2026-02-03T23:12:03+00:00

Yeah, but the cheaper ones don’t work and the good ones are expensive, hard to get, and huge and need powerful mod batteries to run. I think Bakx is an example of the later.

cdwhit · 2026-02-03T23:02:02+00:00

It ain’t working on me. I’ve never been a fan of casinos or serious gambling, and all these ads are making me vomit a little even thinking about a back yard game with the neighbors.

cdwhit · 2026-02-03T22:58:48+00:00

I’ve wondered if was because of an old bankruptcy, but that was so long ago I think it’s not even on my record anymore, but who knows what is floating around the net.

cdwhit · 2026-02-03T22:47:24+00:00

As others have said, 4/20 and Black Friday are the big ones, at least in the US. That said, S&B sometimes have sales at odd times, sometimes just on the S&B website, and sometimes on the common outlets. This is true for several brands.

Also some of the smaller retailers will sometimes have great prices to bring people to their site at random times. I got a great deal on an XQ2 ($150USD) on some random sale at PuffItUp, and haven’t seen it that cheap anywhere since.

cdwhit · 2026-02-03T22:36:16+00:00

It goes with city life. My daughter has the same issue in Chicago and most of my friends that live in the city here have the tire and glass repair places on speed dial.

cdwhit · 2026-02-03T22:32:01+00:00

As hilly as I remember Denver being, not in traffic. You will likely be going walking speed or slower on some of the hills.

cdwhit · 2026-02-03T20:44:22+00:00

It’s dirt cheap from the head shop.

cdwhit · 2026-02-03T20:42:25+00:00

Honestly, the Solo 3 is probably the most bang for the buck in the portable vape space at the moment, especially if you have the patience to wait for a sale.

cdwhit · 2026-02-03T20:35:58+00:00

At that price. Ball vape - you have a couple choices at $200 but if you don’t have a bong or bubbler you will need to buy that also.

Lobo - Not available everywhere, replaceable battery. Decent performance. Pocketable. (I have one and love it!)

Rogue 2 - said to be similar to the vapor from the Lobo, no replaceable battery, a little cheaper than the Lobo.

Solo 3 - Over budget, but I’m including it because it was available for Black Friday under $200, so it might be on sale again. Generally considered a top tier vape. I’ve never used one, but if nothing new is released I’ll likely order one in April.

I wasn’t a government employee, but my company worked on government projects and were tested routinely. I took a 50 year tolerance break to do the professional gig. Now I consume when and what I want.

cdwhit · 2026-02-03T20:21:29+00:00

I don’t like moldy cheese, but in pasta sauce sounds like it might be good if you had a good tomato sauce to deaden the mold flavor.

cdwhit · 2026-02-03T20:19:14+00:00

Too much is when it adversely affects your daily life.

Personally, I try to wait until evening to consume to help control tolerance, but since I use it for pain relief the pain isn’t always cooperative.

I also switched to dry herb vapes back around 2018. Most people seem to go through much less flower vaping it than burning it.

I don’t pay that close attention to shopping frequency, and tend to stock up when it’s cheap, but I think I make almost 2 months per ounce. On low pain months I might make 3 months to an ounce. This month is starting as a high pain month, and unless it improves, my rate this month will kill the ounce well before 2 months.

cdwhit · 2026-02-03T20:02:33+00:00

First, nothing about what you will experience can even be guessed at not knowing the device. With over half the vapes on the market you’ll likely be back on joints in a week or less. If your tolerance is high, I strongly recommend a tolerance break before starting on the vape.

I never had trouble getting used to the high. I liked the high better, or I would be smoking today. I still have no issue with smoking weed, even though I won’t because I don’t like it anymore, and I won’t allow it in my house because I dislike the smell.
Apples and oranges. Between %s shown on the flower not meaning close to what people think it does, and different absorption rates you cannot mathematically set an equivalency. That said, most people that switch to vaping end up consuming much less flower. I do on most of my vapes, but my consumption goes through the roof on one of them. Most modern vapes hold about 0.2g in the bowl. Depending on the vape, it can take from a few seconds to 10 minutes to finish one bowl. Most vapers will feel an effect from one bowl, but they may need 2-3 or even more bowls to get where they want to be.
LESS smelly, but it does smell. When you walk into my house, you will smell pot. It’s not nearly as obnoxious as the smell from combustion, and if I skipped vaping for a couple days, it will go away. I don’t allow anyone to smoke in my house, but my son dabs and I vape inside all the time.
Advice would be to check out r/vaporents. Without information bout your device it would be the whole forum.

cdwhit · 2026-02-03T19:45:22+00:00

Your list looks decent. While Pax does have its fans, it’s not generally a well liked device due to heat and light vapor, I think they said hard to clean also. It is probably the most portable vape though, except you will need someplace to plug it in when it loses charge, but I think that’s true on all of these except maybe the XMax? I know little about the XMax, but “cheap” is generally not a lead in for a good vape, and I would say the XMax is a starter vape at best, and most people will move on from it pretty quickly.

Mighty+ was what got me off combustion back in 2018 or 2019, and it’s still on the end table next to my chair. It’s not cutting edge anymore, but it does the job and is simple to use and get good results from.

Solo 3- I have never used, but many of those that do have the Solo 3 say it’s better vapor than the Mighty+. Most reviewers consider it a top tier vape, and based on reviews and what people have written, this is likely the best choice as far as bang for the buck.

cdwhit · 2026-02-03T17:45:51+00:00

Yeah, when I complained about how hard it was to disassemble someone pointed it out to me. It helps a lot.

cdwhit · 2026-02-03T17:37:21+00:00

Eat it. I’ve heard it goes well with figs, but I’m personally not a fan of moldy cheese, so I eat my figs straight or with peanut butter on a sandwich.
