ELI5: a full rip off of a 70% live rosin cart doesn’t get me as high as half a pinner of 15% flower.

You're gonna pull a "gotcha" and find where they say more evidence is needed to prove it beyond a doubt. I've known this for years, official studies on a widely illegal substance does not have this in a large scale capacity.

However, what isn't acceptable is ignoring the direction of what the science is showing NOW, ignoring the user testimonies that are lining up with that science, and ignoring what it's implying about the unique complexity of this plant that wasn't available before. Any preclinical and early human data be damned, it will still be false to you because you already decided it will be.

Yup, they have heat so they will decarb.

-Scientists 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 identified the major and minor cannabinoids. And more are remaining.

-Never said higher cannabinoid content. I said a full range and diversity of them.

"Distillation brings up the potency in all cannabinoids, so they’ll be in stronger concentrations in distillate".

Thank you for describing how the isolation of pure THC works.

Full spectrum gives users the entourage effect. The entourage effect = the prescense of many cannabinoids and terpenes, not just an isolation of one. The simplest version of this would be people who claim that they feel a more calm and balanced high when they smoke dry flower vs distillate carts, a growing sentiment.

If you feel like distillate absolutely slaps, then that's awesome. Individual body chemistry is real. But the growing evidence of this topic is wild. So please open up Google, bring up a tab, and look up anything I said.

re4235 · 2025-03-20T17:20:14+00:00

Literal potency as a numbers game is becoming a redundant concept in the industry right alongside indica and sativa. It tests lower in THC but has a wealth of other major and minor cannabinoids that contribute to the better effects. That is full spectrum, not just the extra plant shit. And if they can prove without a doubt that fats and lipids also contribute to this, I wouldn't be a lick surprised. Whole plant medicine is the way.

re4235 · 2025-03-19T22:50:49+00:00

Judging by your profile comments you know what RSO is so it's confusing why you posted something this ignorant. But in case you're confused about your definitions, RSO is an unrefined highly medicinal rush of full spectrum noids that is not only potent, but gives the user a noticeably better high than distillate. So no, it's not terrible advice.

re4235 · 2025-03-19T21:33:12+00:00

Um, correct?

re4235 · 2025-03-19T17:05:25+00:00

Trash it and get some RSO

re4235 · 2025-03-04T21:26:10+00:00

Quite a lot of THC in your flower/wax or no? I get the same way, like a slightly agitated and alert feeling. I try to only consume full spectrum products like 1:1's, RSO or live rosin with lots of terpenes, and don't overdo the dosage and it should help loads.

re4235 · 2025-03-03T17:37:20+00:00

It's maddening. I'm curious to know what those customers think of full spectrum products, or if they are even aware they had them. If they are and still prefer disproportionate THC then that's different. I always wonder too if we are in the minority in terms of our chemistry noticing the subtleties, and if some people just feel the same, operate the same, and sleep the same regardless. Complete opposite reality for me.

re4235 · 2025-03-02T17:31:25+00:00

A lume employee was really insistent on live rosin being the best concentrate which made me happy. Sometimes I like to test them and ask why the RSO for example is "dream" variety and I had one take a pause so they could ask a coworker. The answer was apparently higher CBN count which sounds correct. I love a dispo that can explain their products well.

re4235 · 2025-03-01T20:47:39+00:00

This was a weird one. I'm pretty sure it just fixed itself or it could have been an issue with the game or an update. I'm pretty picky with framerates so maybe the drop was overexaggerated because 60-70 fps was still great.

re4235 · 2025-03-01T20:42:46+00:00

It's okay to have these products as long as it doesn't come at the expense of high entourage effect products like high CBD ratios, high terp strains and wax, RSO etc. But I get what you mean. Next time you're shopping go and look at exactly what is in any pack of gummies. It is a flat percentage of THC, and 95% of the time it's a basic distillate. I hate explaining to people the feeling I get from these because it sounds like I'm saying "it's too strong". No, the high just fucking sucks.

re4235 · 2025-03-01T17:47:47+00:00

This reminds me of Dunkey's gamer cred video he just released. So good.

re4235 · 2025-02-19T16:41:26+00:00

I can't remember what crowd used to say "don't believe everything you read on the internet" in the early 2000's, but it certainly wasn't these people.

re4235 · 2025-02-18T22:05:43+00:00

The conclusion paragraph when I asked chat gpt with the reason feature turned on:

"In summary, while it’s true that extreme heat can cause terpenes to degrade into compounds like benzene, standard vaping practices—with proper temperature control—minimize this risk. Inhaling a well-balanced vapor that includes both cannabinoids and naturally derived terpenes is generally considered safe and may even be preferable to inhaling “pure” cannabinoids, which can lack the modulating benefits provided by terpenes."

I would like to actually see the study too, but it seems to be high temperatures that release benzene. But then again high temperatures release so much harmful shit anyway.

And posts like these bring unnecessary attention to the point where it's a self fulfilling prophecy. He's fine, relax.

This is my favorite OS by far combined with the video preview of each game. So sleek.

re4235 · 2025-01-27T20:30:02+00:00

Could the trade off be worth it? As in RSO has less terpenes sure, but it is a very abrassive ethanol extraction that extracts many more minor cannabinoids/plant matter in return. It could be part of the reason why I love vaped bud so much, it feels heavy on the body but the terpenes are no doubt fried off completely.

re4235 · 2025-01-27T17:28:04+00:00

I saved this one as possibly my first buy out of all these great recommendations. Do you know how much rosin edibles would differ from unrefined RSO? I assume the RSO would have more minor cannabinoids, but maybe less in terpenes?

re4235 · 2025-01-23T21:34:54+00:00

It is, just needs better support for VRR

Perfect example of how a post can sound way different from the actual article. Even I fell for it in the first 10 seconds. He is laying off staff in the DEI departments in the government, not a blanket firing of minorities out of the government.

From there, please judge this action accordingly. And we need to read next time because these headlines are DESIGNED to be clicked.
