I was thinking of getting a wax pen, but now I'm not sure. I do know that I would like to move away from vaping dry herb. It seems more space efficient at least.

Not all wax pens are the same, that's for sure. They're mobile, but for the same price of a good oil pen, you can put together an oil rig with a quartz domeless nail and a creme brulee torch. Oil is efficient across the board. Humans love refined products.

Are the cards actually easy to get? The clinics I looked at all needed outside documentation of terminal illness or medical documentation that I've had bad nausea or pain refractory to other treatment. Love to hear if this isn't really the case

It's about finding the guy who knows the right doc. Some of my friends played 100 questions with the doctor, others said it was just a formality really. The Metro Times usually has some names in there, and the good local headshops sometimes have recommendations.

The thing I like about the herb Vape that I got is that I didn't have to think about putting it together I just ordered a good product. What is a good product to order for oil Vapes. Also, why is my tablet trying to capitalize Vapes all the time? gently caress it.

Quick credentials: I managed a headshop in Portland, OR for three years. The two best oil pens I routinely kept in stock were from STAG Vapor and Kung Fu Vapes. Both are available for purchase online.

for SE Michigan dispensaries I recommend https://www.leafly.com/dispensary-info/the-jazz-club

e: as for getting a doctor to sign for you in Michigan, I probably am not much help. I get my card due to dealing with epilepsy, and any weed doc will sign if you have medical proof of it. My guess is the most popular qualifying condition used for the purpose of getting legal weed here is chronic pain

Quick rundown of the worthwhile brands:

Yocan: the standard issue beginner's pen, the Evolve and Evolve Plus are inexpensive ($20-30) and extremely functional
Linx: all about the low temperatures, efficiency and flavor. The Hypnos Zero is a discreet pen, the Ares is an electric nectar collector, both do the dang thing
Source: luxury pens, luxury prices. The Source 4 and XL series have some exceptional items but they can be an investment
Humbolt Vape Tech: the PC gaming of portable oil, they sell the Saionara and the Divine Tribe which are top notch if you're inclined to fiddle with the firmware on your weed pipe (which it doesn't sound like you are)
Xvape: I've heard good things about the Cricket and v-One, but haven't used the brand outside of the dry herb Xmax (which I love)

Sketchy rebranders include:

Atmos: they're one of the biggest rebranders in the business, some of their products are decent and some are terrible, it all depends on just what they're rebranding
CloudV/ Cloud Penz: a brand that became two brands after an internal falling out, both basically just sell decorated rebrands and most of them are alright but marked way the hell up
Headshop / local brands: usually a bunch of the same batteries and skillet atomizers being bought by different local distributors. In one store it'll have a laughing skull printed on the battery and in other it'll have a farting koala bear or a sweet ninja or something, it's all the same crap but with slight aesthetic changes and maybe a modified voltage or cutoff timer at most

Brands to definitely avoid would be:

#thisthingrips: known users of dangerous materials, ridiculously overpriced and tacky as hell
Kandypens: their reputation is on the skids right now since it was found they were using unsafe glues in some of their atomizers
Grenco: overpriced, underdesigned, occasionally dangerous and all around dreadful

i like gpens. they are $20 at my local cornershop and they are small. thats all i've ever needed oil-wise.

I dont think i'd ever get a "luxury pen" but I do hope someday to say Mont Blanc making ridiculous heavy $700 oil pens for rich people (I still won't buy them)

The Micro G / CloudV / "oval" style vaporizer is probably my favorite ever pen design, but I have gone through a few Grenco pens and both the batteries and the (bad tasting and shady quality) coils give up the ghost far sooner than anything else I've used. My biggest problems with them, aside from usage life, is that they don't handle even moderate dabs very well and tend to get extremely splatter-happy on the inside of the mouthpiece. I also found them disassembling themselves in my pocket more often than I'd like, which isn't great when it's your pocket buddy at your day job :v:

I just got stoned on girl scout cookies, took a nice long hot shower, felt amazing. After drying myself off I thought why the hell do I need to wear clothes in my own house and decided to just walk around nude instead. It felt more natural, less restrictive and I felt newfound freedom. Looking at my sexy naked self in the mirror, I didn’t view myself as a reflection of my physical appearance but rather as just one of the billions of hairless upright hominids walking around, living and breathing on this planet

I then, in the nude, ate some Ben & Jerry’s Peanut Buttah Cookie Core while listening to some chillaxing tunes

It's the strain that's native to Jamaica, so you might have to find a Jamaican and ask them. My father-in-law has been to Jamaica a lot (this was his way of getting his smoke on when it was illegal), and he says that some people call it Lamb's Bread and some call it Lamb's Breath. No consensus on which one is the "real" name.

The stuff I bought at the shop is pretty leafy and good for joints. Either way it means grass I reckon.

A Canadian clinician found good results with about two weeks of medium-high doses of CBD to help teens with heavy usage get clean in group homes. The recommended dose was about 25 mg/day. More details:

He said that in Jamaica you give a guy $20-$30, and he brings you a grocery bag full of weed. He did admit that it's a bag of basically untrimmed weed though, and it's mostly sticks / seeds / leaves. Other than that, he's not a great judge of quality.

I can’t host a pic right now, but when I was there earlier in the year pretty much every third person on the beach would try to sell you what’s in the picture on this page (in that form and wrapped in an omnipresent black plastic grocery bag) for $40, or just the big stick for $15-20.

I know I’ve talked about it before but I gotta say pineapple and jalapeño are like the most amazing pizza topping combo ever. the oil and cheese absorb the capsaicin from the jalapeño and heats things up, but the sugar in pineapple neutralizes some of the heat, which in return alters the flavor of the pineapple. just add a good meat topping and you’re good to go

you can’t compare this flavor to something like a ham and pineapple pizza at all. the seasoning in the ham doesn’t affect the pineapple flavor at all compared to this so don’t knock it till you try it, preferably while stoned as hell

I went to a place that put cilantro and red pepper flakes on their ham and pineapple pizzas. I'm a cilantro lover, but I thought that combo would be terrible. I was wrong. Ham + pineapple + cilantro forever now.

WA: Lots of places used to sell more hashes, but I think they just weren't super popular because they've been mostly phased out in favor of shatters, waxes, oils etc. Most shops have some pressed kief, moon rocks and the like, but usually not a huge variety when compared to the fullmelts on offer.

The umbrella "concentrates" covers stuff like kief and traditional hash, as well as fullmelts like oils, waxes, shatters, crumbles and the like. It's just the term for anything where the potency has been, well, concentrated.

whats kind of weird is that even though hash is commonly sold in the Netherlands and even mushrooms are legal, other weed concentrates like oil and wax are considered "hard drugs" and are illegal and much harder to find. even if they are CBD, which seems really stupid but whatever

anyway Im back in the states and happy to have some actual green weed again
