NFT: My first trip to the dispensary

I think it could help cut down the wine habit.

In general there are three types to keep in mind.

Sativa - the most up and giddy variety
Indica - which will mellow you out more
Hybrid - a blend of the two

When I started smoking again I was strictly indica, as sativa's made me more anxious. And they were good for a few hours before going to bed. But oddly enough, I now favor sativas. I no longer get anxious and have more fun.

There are a lot of products to try out (ie, lozenges, gummies, flower, oil, powders) and you can dabble until you find what suits you.

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help.

I can't speak to the likelihood that it will help you cut down wine consumption. I think it should. 10mg of gummies would be like drinking a bottle of wine without the hangover.

With medical marijuana and new legalization, it is a lot about the milligrams, with 5mg being about one dose. You are going to want to track how much affects you in what manner. If that makes sense.

of course this will lead to more cooling and more wine drinking.
For one or two hit toking
Lumpy Space Princess
State Flower Wedding Cake
Strawbeery Fields
and L'Orange
will do the trick

mostly all are Sativa, one is a blend

.

Enjoy

That always cracks me up after all these years of cloak and dagger
aquisitions

I don’t understand all these brands. I just go in and ask for the highest THC. Am I doing it wrong? At the dispensary I asked this question, and the guy said that it depends on what taste, flavor you like.

Do yourself a favor and ask questions about when you go an visit. Various strains are good for certain situations. If you want to chill there is a stain for that, if you want to feel"uppity" and motivated try this strain. I'm posting a link below that might be helpful.

Also there are other ways to ingest your THC then smoking. There are edibles varieties. There are also vap pens and capsules. These can be really strong and a brief 3 or 4 pulls/tokes from the pen will down you good. These are not the capsules you see people exhaling huge plumes of smoke. These are actually the opposite, your are inhaling warmed air and not smoke. No smoke equals no smell. Smoking a joint has an order and some people dislike that aspect. The vap pens are quick easy and discrete.

Sounds like you being open minded about things, find out what might work for you. Enjoy.

I got 2 pre-rolled to try. Both were in the 17-18 mg range. I'm thinking I'm good with 2-3 hits, so that would be less than 5mg. I got an Ogee Triangle #2 and a Tart Pops #3. Yes, I'm going to track it. I still need to be able to function. If I can't cook anymore, my wife'll throw my ass out

I told the guy we were virgins. He asked if I wanted something that will relax me and help me sleep. I told him F that, I just want a buzz for a couple of hours. I used a vape once with a friend, and kinda liked it. May be in my future

how can smoking pot be any better?

Lungs are a very delicate organ and this just seems needlessly reckless... Aren't there some serious health consequences that are being overlooked?

I once came early. But I'm still screwing :)

Smoking marijuana (flower) compared to eating marijuana (edibles) is a very different experience IMO

Smoking is not good for your lungs (obviously) but you have a more predictable experience. Taking into account whether you smoke indica VS sativa is important BUT edibles are far more unpredictable IMO……but aren’t jacking your lungs soooo that’s a good thing.

When you ingest marijuana, it’s metabolizes through your liver and creates a different active metabolite compared to when you smoke it. It’s a key fact to know because ingesting it takes time to process…usually 30 to 60 minutes, and the effects last for hours. If you’re sensitive to anxiety when you smoke weed, I highly recommend you don’t use edibles… since this metabolite is much more psychedelic in nature than when you smoke.

People lose their shit on edibles WAY harder than smoking…I’ve seen it first hand. Look up the married sheriff’s 911 call….”we’re dying” haha! Funny as hell, but def not if you’re experiencing it….trust me haha

Other than that, I quit drinking and smoke now… it’s sooooo much better this way. Hahah

May I believe. I don’t smoke (vape only) and strictly Indica, need it nice and mellow. More drinkers should atleast try it - it’s a cheaper and safer vice and if you control the hunger increase, should be healthier as well.

I know whta you're saying, but I'm just talking about a few puffs a few times a week, less than a cigarette per week.

I don’t need much to get me high when smoking/vaping, but I do not trust ingesting it via edibles at all, would likely freak out and I’m all good with that.

I quit smoking at 13, when the Bar Mitzval season was over :) I think my lungs are in better shape than my liver right now

Drinking wine while cooking the most amazing food on the planet sounds pretty fuking fun to me.

Eat a half gummy a few times a week CBD/THC combined. Helps ease back pain and gives me a mild functional buzz

as is with bourbon.

but I don,t know. I can't decide

For the new food threads :)

Is super strong. All of it. You might be best off with very low dose edibles so you know how much you’re taking in each time

Not really. I know what I can tolerate with leaf, I don’t with edibles and I know too many people that get it wrong and go full blown panic mode. I’m all good with that. I get what I need vaping and it’s cheaper than gummies too. I also like the taste and the process, it’s fun.

2 fingers of bourbon and a few vape hits is glorious. Fully functional but on a nice cloud. Not looking for anything more than that.

Yes!

marijuana strains, scientists say.

"Researchers now know that on a molecular level, there's no difference between an indica strain and a sativa strain of marijuana, but that wasn't always the case."

It's much safer than smoking and your body absorbs much more of the plant than smoking and ingesting. But ingesting is alright. You can also buy disposable pens. The program in PA isn't bad. Just can't find edibles.

Generally speaking, I don't do well with THC either. I'm already way up into my feelings, so when I use I tend to become nervous and paranoid, especially among strangers and in crowded areas. I usually only really like it when I have a lot of free time (never) and the space to not feel like I have to be in a social situation.

My wife is a regular visitor to our local dispensary. She favors the gummies for the evenings where she needs take the edge off. It usually just puts her to sleep.

This is an interesting post. I generally don't like smoking and prefer edibles, but this has me curious. In graduate school I used to have a cool little glass pipe that was really like a one or two hitter. I tended to have better experiences because I wasn't tempted to take the third or fourth tokes as the joint came around the circle. That was ALWAYS when I got into trouble.

I only vape. Used to have a pax but they are just too expensive, switch to the xmax starry a couple years ago. Key is to get a ceramic chamber and avoid plastic.

Stopped eating. I flew up to check on her and got a vape from one of my buddies. I told her it was like an asthma inhaler to boost her appetite. Had her take one big hit, and two hours later she was happy as a clam and then the munchies kicked in and she ate for the first time in 5 days.

That shit saved her life.

I do. Buying cartridges or disposables is definitely more convenient and, you do get MUCH higher THC content. As for safer, eh, could be. We were told eggs and sun screen were good for us at one point.

Depends on the dispensary you go to. Some places I’ve gone to in AZ will give you a first time visitor discount or BOGO.

haven't smoked weed in 30rs -1984-seriously.

college and high school = 4 fingers mexican/oz(20$)--> columbian($40-60) -->maowi wowi.
So.. bought after 30 yr hiatus smoke from local shop: 15$/2 joints, smoked 1/4 joint weakest stuff they had=wiped me out , could barely get back to bed without passing out :net this stuff is way too potent for this old dude and I expect others too feel same.

about half of a 10mg lozenge works ok for me although I'm surprised at how long the effect lasts.

have involved edibles, but over time I've come to enjoy the edible high more than smoking or vaping.

Initially 5mg was just right for me. Now, 5mg is a relax and 10mg is more of a Friday or Saturday night unwind. Beyond 10mg, it's a "clear your calendar" event for me with negative marginal returns.

I still keep a vape pen around for convenience. 120 seconds from puff to experience on that one.

...for years now. I used to get seeds from Amsterdam, but now get them from CA. The odd thing is that I hardly ever smoke, but I give great Christmas gifts.

I predict that instead of food threads, Bill is going to start a series of "I gained 50 pounds; please help me slim down!" threads.

I see what you did there :)

I temper oil with decarb'd plant and use it to make treats, usually brownies.

I've also ground up decarb'd plant into flour and used to bake with but the finish product maintains the smell....a lot. Makes a nice cookie though :-)

Edibles for me are nice for longevity when consuming small amounts and just looking to relax for a few hours. They do take 30-45 minutes to kick in.

Smoking is an instant effect and not as long lasting. Sometimes the smoke really racks your lungs which I can do without.

I've also found that the more you use, the more you get used to it. For decades I'd abstained due to the anxiety, panic an loss of control I felt but after I got older, I've overcome that.

I don't drive or do anything intensely physical unlike some folks I know that can't go a day (or hour) without being blazed.

Enjoy and I look forward to some new cooking adventures Bill. Nothing like making Shrimp Scampi at 1:45 in the morning because you got munchies, lol

Yeah maybe "safer" isn't the best wording to use. Much easier on the lungs and I don't cough all day. I go with flower through a bong.

and there's a place that sells all sorts of floral weed, cartridges, oil, edibles, whatever else, in jersey on rt 23 south, Butler NJ. One of those Delta gas stations, cash only.

they have a cop or guard in there to keep shit kosher --I guess it's legal? Who the fuck knows...but it's legit.
