I am going to California to stay with my family for a couple weeks. What should I look for in dispensaries, especially edible-wise? I don't enjoy smoking much because I have severe asthma, but vaping is cool.

If they're like the WA shops you can get disposable all-in-one oil pens starting at 30ish, and 10 packs of various edibles for around that also. Look for a cooler and check out the sodas.

Due to our new laws, all edibles will be a maximum of 10mg per "piece" and 100mg per package. If its a package of cookies, it will be 10 mini cookies that are each 10mg. Or a 100mg chocolate bar that's scored into 10mg pieces. So don't waste time trying to find the strongest thing, since they're all dosed the same now. 100mg limit per package makes edibles pretty expensive now. Generally speaking, the drinks and some of the gummies will take effect a little faster than the chocolates and baked goods.

If you're going to be buying cartridges, take note of what others have said about the potency. A lot of cartridges sold here are 75%+ THC, with many hovering around 90%, so it's REAL strong if you're not used to it. You can find some that are in the 60% range, but it takes some searching sometimes. My favorite brands for cartridges are Select and Bloom Farms (not the same as Bloom). ASCND if you want the ~90% potency kind. I also like Legion of Bloom, Jetty, and Kurvana is pretty decent for a low price point.

Oh wow. Ok, that is news. Ah the menus had edibles ranging up to 1200 mg for the syrups. I guess this law makes it easier to pick, though. I'll just buy whatever looks tasty.

Can you buy just the juice or something similar?I already have a vape.

you can buy syringes of just the oil. though personally i just get prefilled cartridges its a lot easier. depending on what kind of vape you have there may be cartridges designed for it or it may be able to use the "standard" size which is 510 threaded

As far as the edibles go, there is a loophole where some products can be over 100mg/package, but only people with a medical rec can buy those. And since most companies assume that 95% of their business is going to be recreational customers, they pretty much all immediately revamped their products to comply with the recreational law.

The other thing is that there are still plenty of companies and dispensaries that are not operating legally. You can probably find some higher potency edibles that way, but if you're buying non-legal products at a non-legal dispensary, then there's a good chance that they're just making poo poo up when it comes to their claims about potency, and who knows what the hell is actually in there. That was actually a common problem before we passed the law the restricted the strength and required testing.

Hell, I just wished they worked for me. I live in an illegal state (Texas) and I just assumed all the edibles I got down here were poo poo, but when my wife and I visited Denver and hit up a proper dispensary I discovered that even commercial edibles have absolutely no effect on me.

The nice woman at the dispensary told me that a small percentage of people just lack an enzyme or something necessary in converting the THC in your body, but I wasn't sure if that was true and, even if it was, I had no idea if I was one of those people or if my tolerance is way out of whack.

I decided to test the day we left, so I bought a 100mg bar and ate the whole thing before we got into the Uber ride to the airport. I started feeling some faint tingling in my legs in security, but by the time I hit the terminal it was gone forever.

I've always wanted to try those 500mg "stars of death" that I'd always see Joey Diaz talk about (before he gave up edibles altogether) to see if I am truly incapable of using edibles, but it looks like those aren't being made anymore now that legal states are regulating potency. :shrug:

I got this Starry dry herb vape and some dry flowers for the first time. I picked a cheap indica called Mendocino Purps and I really wasnt ready for how it's kind of gross. I hope the 9lb Hammer tastes better.

I can vape fine but edibles haven't so far made it through my system. Even when I was 100% weed free 5-10mg didn't really do much like it does to most people. Given the cost even in a legal state its not worth it vs vaping when it doesn't work for poo poo anyway. Some point when I have less tolerance again I'll give it another go but like you I've mostly forgotten the idea

just avoid commercial edibles, go get some cheap flower from a dispensary and make your own extremely high potency edibles at home next time you want to try

Those 10mg strips are the best thing ever. All of my friends who don't smoke regularly love them because its a hella good 10mg and I love it because there's 20 of 'em in a pack.

100% truth. Got water adapters and bubblers for both my main vapes and they make the experience so much more enjoyable without the harshness or throat irritation. They significantly cool down the vapour without having to turn down the vape temp, allow you to take enormous hits, and gets you even higher than dry hot air. The only downside is that the flavour is diminished and the vapour is not as visible, but if you're looking to get wrecked then it's not really a big deal.

I still use a glass vaporgenie on a bong and it's the best of both worlds. It's got the oomph of a $300+ electric vape that can fog the bong and make you cough with no warmup time, plus the soothing bong+lighter form factor

I love joints when the weather is nice but a few days of that and I remember why I dont combust the weed anymore (dry cough/morning lung butter, and blowing through weed twice as fast)

Years and years of smoking a drinking have ruined me so I get 2 or 3 puffs into a join and I have to stop. Oil and wax vapes are a little better but I don't like the flavoring in the oils and wax can be pungent and messy.

At least with the dry vape I can start at a low temp to "warm up" if you will and after a few puffs I'll increase the amount. Plus the clouds are small so it doesn't look like I'm hosting a SoundCloud convention in my living room.

i prefer oil vapes over dry herb vapes mainly for the convenience. if i have to go work in some illegal states or another country, bringing an oil pen and a couple cartrdiges is so much easier than trying to either carry around dry herb or find a hookup wherever im working

What part of Ca? Los Angeles' city attourney/DA have a map of all the licensed dispensaries in the county. That might help if you're looking for a "legit" place.

I went to get some full spectrum CBD oil (turns out it does jack poo poo for me, yay) and the dispensary I visited in the middle of Hollywood had big windows and a chill indie coffee shop vibe. The tenders were all nice (attractive, approachable, informative), and their selection was pretty good with a big variety. Prices were pretty high thanks to the tax, but overall it was a good experience. Sucks that it's mostly cash only though.

There's also a delivery service/app called Eaze that works with dispensaries in your local area. You need to upload your ID or DL and there's like a 30 minute verification process, but after that it's just add to cart and wait for the driver to deliver. Decent selection of edibles and vapes but no drinks. Had good experience with the Punch brand of edibles and Plus gummies.
