The current understanding is that the terpene profile of different strains is what determines the type of high you have.

i feel like sometimes these differences between "types of high" are so subtle and minor that they are completely overriden by things like what kind of music you are listening to or whether you have a cup of coffee while you are smoking or what kind of mood you are in and all kinds of other factors

I was notified today that I hit 1000 points (membership program) at a dispensary near me, which gives me $100 in-store credit. I'm now weed-rich from the dispensary, and I didn't spend a dime :420:

That's awesome. How much do you have to spend per point?

My dispensary gives out a free joint if it's your birthday and has a program that donates trim to go towards edibles for terminal cancer patients that can't afford cannabis.

It looks like it's a point per dollar spent. I never looked or checked up on it until today, so this is probably 6-7 months of points just accruing. I also signed up for text notifications when I buy in the future so it tells me how many points I have *and* so I don't forget that I have rewards.

I picked up a pax era and some pods this week and it's much better than I expected. It tastes and hits great with the temperature set right (which was easy in the app). It also seems to be going a long way for the weight.

I wanted a simple discreet way to have a hoot walking or before bed and this is working well so far. Day 5 now. We'll see how it holds up getting through a whole pod

The current understanding is that the terpene profile of different strains is what determines the type of high you have. Some terpene profiles affect people differently, I can't smoke most Cheese strains (definitely not UK Cheese) because it makes me insanely anxious to the point that I'll pace for like an hour. Is it bullshit? I don't know, but I do know that different strains produce different effects for me, and the variations of the smell, which comes from the terpenes, can give me a strong hint of what to expect.

As for creating alphaweed, no joke, I have found that cutting a Cheese strain with something that's way more chill, like a strong kush, helps cut through that anxiousness.

Again, I am not a scientist and all I do is read poo poo on the internet, so take that with a grain of salt. Blue Dream is the best weed though, that's a science fact.

yeah, that's mostly why i ask. i grew a strain that apparently doesnt agree with me, but i have no way of getting anything else until next harvest, so i was wondering if trying to augment it would do anything. and the answer is, maybe? i'll probably try anyway just for shits and giggles.

If it's strain related anxiety you might get what you want by adding a little high cbd flower or concentrate.

My old dispensary didn't have a points system, but I did once win tickets to see Reel Big Fish from them and when I went to pick them up they said I was the only one who entered because no one else cared about Reel Big Fish in tyool 2016

I too have strain-related anxiety with certain stuff so I've just kept a page in a notebook with strains that are bad for my brain and strains that I particularly like, like a bad weed nerd. :420: also I agree with Cheese guy on those being less anxiety inducing strains, throwing in for Cookies strains and Master Kush too

This might be the best weed I've ever had. My buddy was like, hey man, that's six grams so it'll be 60$ and I'm like dude, my last dealer gave me two bunk edibles for 55$ each last time. I've been high for like 3 days straight and I've smoked about 1/3rd of the bag. Incredible stuff. I'd pay twice that for this poo poo. Insanely good weed. Unbelievable.

Went to a headshop that carries a drink that haa a lot of Myrcene in it and it claims to increase the effects of weed. Any experiences?

Mercene is maybe the most touted terpene. It does at least have a plausible mechanism of action; increasing membrane permiability, thus helping the cannabinoids get to your brain. Whether it actually does that though? :shrug:

when i was a teenager it was a common belief that smoking a cigarette after smoking a bowl would "increase your high by 15%". i have no idea where that number came from. probably a marketers brain in north carolina.

i dont do that anymore but i do find that coffee and weed go together extremely well and each enhances the high of the other

I had had a Double Big Gulp of Diet Mtn Dew shortly before trying my first weed anything, a 5 mg sativa gummy. It was not pleasant. I still avoid too much caffeine when I indulge, especially with a more, uh, active variety of weed.

Menthol, for certain, gave me some head highs after a bowl or even in-between. I think when you smoke tobacco stems they give you even worse head highs and that could be where the perception comes from.

Weird thread, if I were to break open an old Vape cartridge and use alcohol to extract the glue inside, what would be the best way to use it? You can’t just drink it like normal because the THC falls outs of solution if You try and dilute it.

Thanks. It's loving amazing, and I can continue to get wasted (more so) since I was forced to give up smoking.

The ice bong is normally filled to the brim with ice, and I use the ash catcher to blow and collect water as the cubes melt. It's easier to empty that than the actual bong itself. The top of the bong has a silicone bung with a hole in, which sits an Arizer balloon glass stem, and that has a 1m platinum cured silicone tube which has a glass mouthpiece at the other end.

Each chamber can easily last 2 hours or more, starting at 190C and gradually working all the way up to 250C, and I get the same levels of titration as I used to get with joints.

I've had to put the dynavap to one side for now, as my lungs were screaming every time I used it. They are actually starting to improve now that I've switched to the EQ.
