I got a grinder, just a cheap 4-piece off amazon for about $12 and it's great. I'm glad I didn't put down $100. Grinding seems to let weed go a long way (like it turns a smallish nug into a lot of ground weed), and since I'm not using my hands, my hands don't get sticky which I assume was also taking something away from the weed. The grinder came with a little plastic scoop too so I can use that to put it in the vape.

Also back to reporting on weed+hunger: I got 'african queen' and 'mint cookies eclipse' (mint cookies is supposed to suppress hunger) and on the mint cookies, it's great. I'm losing weight easily, etc. With the african queen I do still get super hungry. So yeah it really does depend on the strain of the weed! I'm glad I can buy strains legally instead of having to just get whatever the dealer has. In the month after switching from edibles to vaping I went down about 4 lbs and in the 2 weeks since I got mint cookies eclipse I went down another 4, that strain has improved my life a lot! I suppose if I ever want to smoke before bed I can use the african queen, and the mint cookies are great for the first smoke of the evening.

African landrace strains are naturally high in THCV, which is an appetite suppressant :science:

It is the most unsurprising statement ever, but going from "whatever stuff a guy I know can source from out of state" to "stuff bought in a dispensary with chemical percentages and strain info available" is like night and day.

What strains have you gotten to try so far?

I'm gonna make a dispensary run this week, almost out of cartridges. I bought four, then my mom and sis asked for one. What else should I buy at The Medical Marihuana Store, friends?

Is there a good place to get information on fake pee? I have to get drug tested soon, maybe sooner than I would be clean. It's for the VA, if that matters.

Is this for a job with the VA or for medical reasons?

Because the VA doesn't give a gently caress about weed for medical reasons. If this is a making GBS threads your pants over your benefits moment, relax, they stopped caring about weed in patient piss about 15 years ago.

If it's for a job and you can't find fake piss locally in a smoke shop, it might be illegal in your state.


If you can't score fake piss, you might be able to slide by ensuring you're below detection threshold, but I don't know what that threshold is. In the military, it was 50ng/mcl for initial detection, 15ng/mcl confirmation. In those days, you could just drink water, take some creatine monohydrate powder and a B vitamin complex a few hours before the test and pass. VA might use lower thresholds and last time I care about those numbers was 14 years ago, so the masking approach may well be worthless now.

so my ritual of smoking, listening to tunes and playing online poker at night has turned from 2-3x a week to like, almost every day, thanks to the pandemic. is this a good idea or a great idea?

if I smoke roughly the same amount once a day will I still need to take T-breaks? i haven't felt like my tolerance is necessarily going up but I definitely have a sense of "I'm getting more functional while I'm high" which maybe means I'm getting less high?

You'll still build a tolerance, yes. Increasing frequency of use from 2-3 days a week to every day will increase your tolerance. Though it will be slower than wake&bake all day smokers like me.

Maybe switch up your method. Like if you roll joints, switch to a bong or a one hitter.

Whether or not you take a tolerance break is up to you and your high. I've never minded smoking a little more. But I live in a legal state and restocking is easy.

My dispensary just started selling 1/2 oz bags of machine trim for 30 bucks less than the bulk purchase for hand trim.

I turned that 30 bucks into gummy worms that make me high.

It use to be hit or miss as some strains react negatively with my GERD, so now that I can source strains that won't make it feel like my stomach sphincter is puckering and moving all over hells half acre in there. Just in time for the pandemic.

You get a lot more crows feet with leaf snippets with machine trimmed weed. It's cheaper than paying a bunch of people to hand trim though. Place I worked used Twisters, and one person can easily process 10+ pounds a day of weed. Compared to my last job, which is hand trimming, the weed looked like loving garbage. But how it looks doesn't effect its' potency much besides abusing and vacuuming off kief.

Those vacuums for Twisters accumulate a bunch of hash though.

ah weird a vacuum? i was wondering what was used to remove the outer layer of kief from a lot of the weed you see

Twisters are tumbler style, the vacuum is used to pull leaf into the blades, then it pulls the leafy trim through the fan and blows it into a bag. Little buds often just get straight eaten by tumbler vac trimmers.

I used T2s. But Centurion makes a similar design, and most of Twisters line are dependant on you buying a vacuum unit too.

Here's a video of a T2.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq4pL9Z5b-0

Also, those are better to use when the weed is wet from harvest yet. Tumbling dry buds means having smaller buds at the end, better to trim wet if you use a machine.

My FrankenVapeBong in its current form is working great.



It takes about a lungful of air to draw the vapour from the dynavap through the system, which means I can run the vape hot and then take my time and titrate, puffing away like a joint using the whip.

So I guess it's a bit like dabbing, but for wimps.

Ghost Train Haze/Ghost Trainwreck and Acid Dough on my first run. GHT was waaaaayyy too much for me and I only managed to keep from spending a week floating in space by mixing in a bunch of lovely stuff I haven't touched in a while because it does nothing for me. Acid Dough was pretty nice.

Second time I went, I got Jilly Bean and Proxima, which is a small-batch variety from Bountiful Farms. Jilly Bean has made me get my rear end out of my chair and go do responsible things like buy a bunch of mousetraps to deal with a rodent problem, wash dishes, and generally accomplish tasks. Proxima hits me pretty dang hard, but not in an unpleasant way. I've been getting 1/8th each time, which is right about the amount I like to spend here. I just wish the limit were a little bit higher so I could snag some edibles or something.

For full disclosure, since it's legal as hell, I've been visiting Theory Wellness in Massachusetts. Really nice place. I'd love to work in a dispensary, but honestly, I love weed culture unironically. I would love to get to do the greenhouse work and use my ecology degree.

It's only a good idea as long as you're winning. That said I lived with a guy in college who was maybe enrolled in school but seemed really focused on getting high and playing online poker, and he was cool

I've also ramped up my weed consumption because of the pandemic. I used to take 5-10g like twice to three times a week and now I smoke a bowl like, once every single day. I just think "well I'm not doing anything tomorrow anyway so why not".

Huh? Aside from specifically separating the THC somehow, that's exactly how you make butter. At least, that's the only way I've ever known how to make butter.

edit: also putting water in there to prevent the butter from getting scorched

One gram shatter/wax
Small oven safe glass bowl
Coconut oil
Oven

Throw the hash in the bowl, cover it with coconut oil, bake at 250⁰ for 27-30 minutes or so, longer if you want it to make you sleepy, dilute it to the desired strength with the rest of the bottle of coconut oil, add it to whatever you're cooking. I mean it's not butter, but it's an easier way to do what butter does.
