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.

Never smoked again.

That solved that problem.

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

No, but it wasn't the first Wednesday of the month. I'll have to try again then :)

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

also comments above about edibles, the 10 mil gummies are perfect and the same everytime. I think It was Uconn, who commented, once you find your enjoyable level (10mg) is perfect imho then you're set, if not just eat half.
Also just asking for the highest THC is not the way to go.
Each strain is a different type of high.
The budistas know everything and will be glad to have a conversation with you.
I do not reccommend the capsules

should allevieate that concern

Good for you and the miss’s.

I would love to see a sitcom episode about this very premise.

I went to Carvel. Ordered a banana split while talking to a buddy. Next thing I knew I had gotten every topping on the menu. It cost $25!

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.

Some here may not consider it real bourbon, but my cooking choice tonight was Jack, neat

Gives me too much paranoia and anxiety. But NY Diesel was my favorite varietal... Enjoy it Bill...

Thanks, Adam

if anything, I throw back beers faster

That is surprising. Unless I missed something and you're not in Utah. Still waiting for Tennessee to catch up and legalize it
