Man I really need to build up the tolerance again. Maybe if I just smoked on the weekend?

This is literally what I do most of the time and I have babby levels of tolerance

It owns and it saves money though I have moments where I smoke here and there during the week

So I'm a legal medical weed user now. Never used marijuana before.

The guidelines I was given for trying CBD/THC products were really loose, so if anyone has any recommendations for what to try first that'd be great.

I'm able to order from Tilray and Spectrum in Canada.

Sort of on a similar boat when it comes to CBD. I've got a sampler package of hemp bud coming in the mail today and I was wondering if it's common to mix cbd and thc bud together?

sure! mixing CBD and THC is definitely a good idea IMO. if you haven't smoked much before maybe just a smaller amount of the THC bud

i've been dabbing a 50/50 mix of CBD isolate and regular concentrate and it's a nice thing

Depends entirely on what you're using it for.

I used to get these day ruining migraines. I found that pot basically turned them off - I'd still not be able to go to work, but at least I wasn't hiding under a pillow trying not to puke. The pot that helped me was heavy CBD called Cannatonic. I've also used Warlock from TIlray before, for the same issue.

I find vaping to be the best consumption method. I have an Arizer Solo 2, it's been very decent. It's portable in that I can take it outside to puff away, but it's a bit of a pain to travel with. The 510 threaded pens are good too if you're oot and aboot. Get a good quality grinder, and keep your weed in a sealed container - mason jars work well, I use hinge lid glass jars from Micahel's. I also swear by the Boveda humidity packs, you can get them on Amazon for not too much.

Try a couple different strains and see what helps - there's enough variety out there that you'll find something workable. I agree with mixing CBD/THC too - I used to be a purist and only smoke the exact strain I had ordered, but I've found it really relaxing to "cut" some heavy THC bud with Cannatonic for a more mellow time.

Mixing cbd hemp with space weed is cool and good and it's going to be a lot more practical and economical for most people than buying boutique high cbd strains of actual illegal weed.

It's true. Strange for me because I don't really vape at all and even if I did I would not use it afterwards, it's trash at that point just like resin and it goes in the garbage

I don't know anything about those shops but I'll tell you the way I do it: buy completely random poo poo you like the name of or are interested in trying out, whether that's oil, flower, a pen, cbd stuff, what have you. Then smoke it, and afterwards you've learned about that thing and whether you like it or not. I guess in general for a noobie I'd recommend just picking up some bottom shelf sativa and indica (so you can see if you have a preference, personally I don't really care at all) and a cheap pipe or a vape or a bong and take a hit or two but no more. Also, pre loaded pens are a great way to introduce yourself to concentrates and you don't need to buy anything but the pen. But overall, I recommend experimenting.

I've bought several of the strongest solutions of CBD, those ones that are like 200 dollars a bottle. It's okay, I do feel something subtle, but overall my impression of CBD is disappointment, it just doesn't do much. If you are going to try it I recommend going all out, dropping a bit of money for the strong stuff so you can really see if it's for you. A LOT of what people say magical things about CBD which I'm pretty sure is just placebo.

If you are going to purchase CBD, don't necessarily do it at the shop usually online is the best way.

Follow-up:

It's been about a month since I started buying at the local dispensary here in NJ.

Picked up the weakest indica they had, plus edibles (10mg watermelon-flavored lozenges).
The weed is sold in 1/8 and 1/4-ounce. A bag of 35-lozenges is equivalent to 1/8-oz.

I use a 1-hitter as I did twenty years ago. One hit 2-3 hours before bed, then an edible as I'm laying down. Consequently, I still have no idea what the edibles feel like as I have been sleeping like a felled tree for the first time in many years. :)

Maybe one weekend day I'll try one, but most weekends I have poo poo to do.

The smoke hits pretty good for about a half-hour to 45-minutes, then gradually ramps down.

Best move I have made.

When will then be now?



I just recently got my medical card in PA and have been experimenting with different strains and nothing hits me quite the same way as this 7:1 THC:CBD variety of the Lucky Charms strain does. I feel like it's the closest thing to being sprayed with the good vibes goo from Ghostbusters 2.

I mean, some shops are pricey and some states are pricey and that's how it is, if you can't find another one on weedmaps or whatever there probably isn't one. Paying an extra ten bucks an eighth won't kill you.

I always like to join their text lists so that I can get updated on deals and decide what the best day to go in on is, for the most part I try and never pay full price for anything and just take advantage of sales

I've ordered from Spectrum before, they are fine, but the names for their strains are a bit generic. You can check https://lift.co/ for reviews on strains for a better idea of what people use them for.

there are actually germs on your hands as well, not just your saliva, so I'm not sure this would actually stop you from transmitting something if an infected person used this method

I'm not sure if it's a joke or something and it's probably obvious but this is not a medically sound strategy

My advice? Roll two joints instead of one. The more the merrier!
