Guess I vaped too much last night because I started reading the OSHA thread and ended up reading in depth about the radium girls. Its horrifying really so I triggered a panic attack.
Took my emergency xanax and proceeded to trip to sleep.
I make bad decisions.

Lesson was learned from me a short time ago. From now on, only doing things that give me good, chill vibes, and exploring anything else will be my choice to risk a consequence.

I hope everyone who does fatherly things got to do them on weed today. Cat time was extra awesome today.

Now I'm listening to The Cult's Sonic Temple and that's pretty awesome.

It's dab with a high terpene concentration, which gives it the consistency of crystals suspended in oil - super, super tasty stuff :D

Yeah apparently the crystals are pure THC and the liquid is terpenes. I'm taking dabs maybe 1/4-1/5 the size of my usuals and it's knocking me on my rear end. It also smells and tastes absolutely incredible, like the concentrated flavors of weed.

Too bad it's $100/g :saddowns:

1g of 90%+ thc vape oil in Oregon is 60 pretty much anywhere I've been. The other concentrates are cheaper for the same amount, but are fewer uses.

They make weed concentrates now, there's a dozen different kinds but the gist is they take all the "gets you high" stuff out of the weed and it ends up as either a waxy or oily substance. Instead of packing a bowl of weed and lighting it, you put a little bit (a dab :rimshot:) onto a metal poker thingy, heat up the "nail" (so-called because up til recently they were mostly big hunks of titanium, nowadays they also make them out of quartz or ceramic), and touch the dab to the heated surface, then inhale.

It's a bit more of a process (and you need a butane torch since regular lighters won't heat the nail enough), but you're talking THC concentrations of 80-90+%, vs. the best weed out there which maxes out around 25-30% THC.

e: you will hear things like oil, wax, live resin, CO2, and a bunch of others when describing concentrates, most of the time it refers to the method of extraction. You can go as low-tech as literally squeezing oil out of a nug using wax paper and a hair straightener, or as retardedly fancy as supercritical fluid extraction.

VVV oh yeah I forgot about that. Ecig-style vapes work way better for concentrates than for weed since you don't have to worry about letting the temperature get too high and accidentally combusting the weed.

You can also do dabs with vaporizers - basically just e-cigs modified for concentrate use - if you want to make things easier and less blowtorchy :keke:

So what happens when you combine weed and opiates? I'm having surgery tomorrow, and they're going to give me a week+ of opiates, but opiates make me dizzy and nauseous, which sometimes makes me throw up. My normal cure for dizzy & nauseous is to smoke a weed, of course, but I'm not sure what will happen if I do that after having taken Percocet. Any chance it will make me more dizzy? I'm not real interested in spending 3 days vomiting after surgery like I did last time.

I smoked weed to help with nausea from percocet after a surgery, it was fine.

Only thing I can imagine would be don't cough violently depending on what the surgery was :shrug: It won't make you OD or anything though.

I actually ended up not finishing the percocet because the dizziness/nausea wasn't worth it and just smoked weed instead after a couple days

I have the same effects from opioids and I just take half a dose at a time, and as few recommended doses as possible. Full doses make me feel nauseous really uneasy, half is actually pretty pleasant. Last time I had some was for wisdom teeth, and I supplemented Percocets with weed for the first day or so and then switched over to weed entirely as fast as I could.


Dabs make me feel like I'm doing drugs.

I just ran some errands taking a lyft, and when I got in I immediately said “This car reeks of weed”, and the dude looked all scared, and then I stuck my thumb up. Apparently he didn’t really give a poo poo about making money cause we smoked three and a half joints between us. I bought him a bottle of korbel brut cause we had been talking about cheap wine in the car. Am I typing this? Is this really happening? I’m pretty sure it is, because if it wasn’t I don’t think I would be paying such close attention to spelling and punctuation. All praise upon the Green God.

So yeah, turns out weed is a good way to counter the dizziness & nausea from the opiates and steroids they put me on. While I was still at the surgery center, they gave me my first percocet post-surgery, and I started feeling like throwing up pretty quickly, even though they had put Zofran in my IV. They gave me 2 more doses of Zofran in the next 45 mins, and then Reglan too, but I was still struggling not to throw up.

I was so miserable I gave up and asked the anesthesiologist "Is it ok to use cannabis to try to stop the nausea? Will it be ok to combine it with all these pills?" He gave me a big, genuine smile and said "That will work great. I'd give it to you here if we had any." God bless the Golden State.

Also that was a day and a half ago, and I've been using it, and it's working pretty well. Still a bit dizzy, but vastly improved.
