So now there are different "strains" of oil too? Seems fishy to me.

Swartz posted:CBD oil is CBD oil: if you are seeing different kinds it's either a marketing gimmick of theirs, or they did something dumb like add all sorts of herbal bullshit to it. CBD isolate has very little flavor and requires no additional flavorings. Also, beware of retail products that list CBD oil as an ingredient without mentioning its CBD content because this probably means the oil contains homeopathic levels of cbd. I mix my own tincture at 50mg/ml with phytodabs isolate and coconut MCT oil for sublingual use and it is flavorless. You may want a stronger mix for Parkinson's though, I don't know anything about that. Sublingual is a great RoA, probably the most efficient short of IV and with a 5-20 minute onset, but most otc tinctures are way too weak for that. You want the whole dose to be 1ml or less for it to absorb quickly without having to slosh around a bunch of weird oil in your mouth for 15 minutes. I'd strongly recommend taking a look at the DIY route for cost and effectiveness E: pure isolate powder dissolves readily in oil at room temp so you can just combine them in a dropper bottle and give it a shake and it's ready to go in 15 mins or so. A full eyedropper is usually about 1ml for easy dosing poverty goat fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Aug 9, 2018 |

Zig Zags and Juicy are poo poo; Raws are what you want for joints. But the quality of paper won't matter if you have trouble rolling. Practice for a bit when you have time and don't put pressure on yourself.

It's a good skill to have, you never know when it might come in handy. Just keep practicing and take it slow and don't get frustrated. The way I do it is first I crumple up the paper, I feel it helps it roll better. Then smooth it out again, place weed on top, and roll it between your fingers so its more of a compact circular shape. Then from the end you'll put your mouth on try to begin the roll - the most important thing is to get the paper tucked under, but try not to compress the joint too much or it'll be hard to smoke. Once you have it started it's easy to roll the rest of it up. Add saliva to glue and finish. Then I use the end of my glasses (over ear bits) to push in the weed at the far end a bit so I can give it a shake and twist the end up, just my personal preference.

If you buy one of those big cans of Drum you’ll be a whiz at rolling joints by the time you smoked it all.

I guess what I meant is CBD with little to no THC that you can find online easily. I realize some lie and have THC anyway, but there are definitely some well known brands that are practically CBD-only. But no whoever said that, there are no strains of CBD, but yes people, there are different strains of marijuana. If you don't agree it simply means you're even more of an idiot than I am.

Fancy_Breakfast posted:My aunt has had really bad Parkinson's over the past couple years and lately it's lovely to see her suffering so much. Her medication does nothing. I'd start with CBD oil (rather than THC) because that's going to seem less scary to her. If it doesn't work, then all that probably happens is she's a little more relaxed. You definitely want to make sure that you order it from a reputable company. There's literally no oversight on this stuff, so anyone can bottle up some olive oil, claim it's CBD oil and sell it over the internet. Or even worse than that, it could have synthetic cannabinoids in it, which happened recently and made 50+ people sick. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/52-people-sickened-by-fake-cbd-oil-in-utah/ The problem, of course, is figuring out which brands you can trust. Charlotte's Web ( https://www.cwhemp.com ) is generally considered the "go to," because they really got the ball rolling with making CBD known for treating seizures and stuff. But because of that, they're also really expensive. There are brands that I could recommend, but they're only sold in California, so that probably won't help you. I personally order CBD oil from 4CornerCannabis, and they do sell to all states via the internet. I use it for my dog though, not myself since my CBD consumption is almost entirely via vaping. EDIT: I don't know if showing her this would help convince her, but several years ago, CNN did a feature about CBD and the little girl for whom Charlotte's Web is named. The middle section still has a bunch of alarmist junk, but the beginning and end are pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUwkLiciY6Q Mnemosyne fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Aug 10, 2018 |

I vape medical weed and they come in little round glass canisters. My cat decided to play with my salvia and I just caught it before it hit the (tile) floor after hearing that glass rolling sound along the coffee table. This was hilarious, probably because I'm high On topic: For pain definitely start out with pure CBD oil, it's fairly easy to find. If she ever decides to take the next step there are low THC/high CBD strains available for medical use (at least in my state).

I'm leaving on vacation to Laughlin, Nevada and am going to go to a dispensary for the first time. Any tips, tricks, recommendations to buy? I want to get some edibles, and perhaps a disposable vape pen if that would be cost effective. Some of the edibles on their online menu seems super expensive for the amount of thc in them. Or I could always just buy some papers and buy some flower of some different strains and roll up my own joints. I'm a daily smoker and have a decent tolerance. What are you suggestions? (The dispensary is nevada made marijuana if that means anything).

A disposable pen is great for getting high in public, but there really is nothing like walking into a store and leaving with 4 different kinds of flower and some papers.

Yeah, the different strains really interest me. I don't necessarily trust the names of strains and what not that I buy at home, because I assume it's mostly made up. I'm there for 4 nights, so I'll have time to try different things

I get cartridges from a friend in California regularly and they are incredibly awesome with my Pckt One vape. Keep in mind the experience with a quality vape is much smoother and the unit itself lasts much longer, but you can't beat the convenience of a disposable vape pen right there from the dispensary.

Warframe should just come with a quarter of dab and a nail. It seems overwhelming at first, but once you're in the groove it all just ~flows~ so well. High level play is like going through Kubrick's color tunnel with human debris flying everywhere - psychedelia meets viscera

Monster Hunter though, that does a good job. You're spending some time focusing on fighting and then slapped in the face with a beautiful vista so it's a nice variety.

Or I could always just buy some papers and buy some flower of some different strains and roll up my own joints. I just checked their menu on Weedmaps. I'd probably stay away from the Rove cartridges because we have Rove here in CA, and they're kind of temperamental. The oil in them is not diluted really, so it's less oil and more solid, so to get them to work, you have to find a way to pre-heat them to liquefy the oil, so you either have to run a hair dryer on them or try to heat them a bit with a lighter. Either way, it's way too much hassle considering almost no other cartridges have that problem. Also $70 is is kind of high for a half-gram cartridge. On the other hand, they are also charging $70 for Select brand cartridges (which we also have in CA) and that's my current favorite cartridge brand. Honestly, whether a cartridge/disposable will be cost-effective for you probably depends on if you have any intention of trying to take it back home with you. I wouldn't say "yes, definitely get on a plane with this," but multiple people in this very thread have flown with cartridges / pens and nobody has had a problem. I know people who have taken flights with more than a dozen pens / cartridges in their bags, and have not had a problem. Also don't buy the CannaHemp brand CBD pens or the Select brand CBD disposables. Both of those are 0% THC, so they don't even really work as a CBD product (because CBD needs at least a little THC to help activate it). It looks like they sell a lot of their strains by the gram, so you could definitely pick up small amounts of multiple strains to roll up and try out. It sucks that there aren't more dispensaries in that area. I know a lot of dispensaries in NV sell Greenlife Baby J's, and those are perfect for tourists. It's an Altoid tin with mini-joints inside in a variety of strains, so it's like a little sampler box. Last time I was in Vegas, I had several friends who flew in from non-legal states, and Vegas was still medical-only at the time, so I bought Baby J boxes to give to them as gifts when they got there.
