It should make it easier to collect reclaim from the extracts.



Woah... I can't imagine smoking enough concentrate to be able to use a condenser to reclaim anything out of the vapor but I respect the effort

I'm about to get zooted and listen to drum n bass while I vacuum the house so I can hang out with family all weekend and maybe even play a video game or somethin. Saturday morning highs are pretty great

I vape at fairly lowish temperatures using the dynavap + dynacoil, and a lot of oil finds its way the other side of the gauze and dribbles down the stem. Nothing ever gets wasted, as it gets washed with 70% drinking alcohol to make a nice tincture, but I'd love to vape as much as I can.

If I was using a dabbing nail at proper dabbing temperatures then I wouldn't need something like this.

Man, now I want a home made famous bowl. Mashed potatoes, corn, chicken, some shredded cheese, gravy, maybe some bacon bits. I know what I'm making for dinner tonight.

Sunday morning patio smoking is my favorite thing in the summer. Put some folky poo poo on the bluetooth speaker, cup of coffee, pack of smokes and a gram joint. Wave at the neighbors walking their dogs.

I hope Live From Here comes back to NPR this fall, that was great to space out to at 7am on sunday watching hot air balloons float by. I'm so goddamn white. Lol. Gonna go throw peanuts at the squirrels after a few more dabs.

A friend of mine got his first shipment of legal UK medi weed yesterday



It's Adven Flos 20 (20% THC 70/30 indica hybrid) and costs £150/30g

He likened it to mid grade Amsterdam coffee shop weed and was pleasantly surprised.

I would love to gain access to medical cannabis in the uk, but I have heard the conservative government has set it up to to as unethical as possible (like all the weed is grown in Israel, and it is a criminal offence to use the stuff in a joint).

You have any idea what other strains are available?

There's a wiki of the various strains/companies/prices etc. here http://cannapedia.org.uk/prices

Meh, I don't want to see adult diaper or dementia days. To each their own, but I'm not trying to make it to the singularity so I can merge with a computer and live as long as my firmware is updated. If I go from a heart attack in my 50s, so be it, I'll have certainly seen enough propagation of human misery and ecological destruction for several lifetimes by that point. If I exist into my 60s, it'll be out of pure spite and contempt for... something or someone, like needing to see Mecha-Trump defeated by Robo-Putin and Ultra-Xi in Summer Slam 2045 and sacrificed on the altar of the petro-yuan.

Rolling around in a wheel chair in my 80s isn't a dream, it's a nightmare.

Eh. Worse ways to go exist, and being trapped in a thought loop in an old folks home seems like a fate worse than death, which is almost certainly my future given my family history, should I pursue longevity. I realize it's a poo poo way out, but what way isn't, in the end? I'm just trying to go before I find myself lucid for 3 minutes a day in a dementia ward. Red meat can only carry me so far to a coronary.

Anyhow, I'm gonna hit some dabs and run some errands. Grocery shopping stoned is a small pleasure in life.

also instead of killing yourself slowly and painfully with cigs if you're worried about losing your marbles and still living just tell some family members to off you in that event

I'm not putting that on anyone. When a VA doctor tells me I have X amount of time left, I'll go buy an RV on credit and die in it on forest service land, way behind on payments. Then I can haunt the RV when it's resold to a yuppie family for pennies on the dollar because some old fart smoked weed and died in it.

You’re gonna do what you wanna do man, but I’ve seen two relatives die with a combination of lung cancer and emphysema brought on from decades of smoking, and I’d much rather be 80 in a home than to be as utterly miserable and waiting for death as they were.

If you talk to anyone in their mid to late 40s who has smoking-related chronic illnesses (or anyone at any age with a chronic illness, honestly), they’ll tell you how foolish you are.

It’s like having an asthma attack all the time. I have asthma, and that poo poo doesn’t just sound unhealthy, it sounds downright terrifying.

you’re not just going to die. You’re going to spend years feeling like something is killing you.

I've seen the sentiment that weed doesn't gently caress up your lungs as bad as cigarettes before and I guess I get it from the standpoint of additives.

At the end of the day, inhaling smoke can't be better than not doing so, but how bad is exclusive weed use for lung function over time?

There could have been decades worth of research to determine that, if weed wasn't considered a Schedule One substance with "no currently accepted medical use." It's at Schedule Three now, up there with Ketamine and Vicodin.

I had some weed (a single fury edge scoop, which is very small, of motor breath 15) on saturday around 2, then another scoop around 5pm, and I slept from 8pm that evening to 7am on Sunday. Weed is definitely good for sleep.

Nicotine specifically is carcinogenic, and weed is not. The groundwork for medical weed was in fact laid by the DEA when their quest to prove that weed caused cancer demonstrated the opposite in multiple DEA-backed studies.

its not about "additives". nicotine is not an additive in any sense, it naturally occurs in tobacco and its a very poisonous substance. its not just smoking it thats bad for you, interacting with nicotine in any way is terrible for your body. tobacco pickers get illnesses from the poison just from exposure to the plants

while inhaling burning matter is of course not great for your lungs, there is a massive difference in the fact that nothing in weed is nearly as bad for you as nicotine, regardless of the method of consumption. eating weed is harmless. eating nicotine can kill you

of course if you really care about lung health there are plenty of ways to get high without actually inhaling smoke. but personally i still like joints

im also an ex smoker and very occasional current smoker. im not "attacking nicotine smokers" i was responding to a post about additives. the statement that nicotine is far more toxic to the human body than anything in weed is absolutely true. the problem is more with the nicotine than with the act of smoking

Marijuana flower is definitely less toxic than cigarettes but more than smoking nothing. Whenever you inhale burning plant matter there is going to be some effect on your lungs. For me it's a tolerable risk and I use a lot of extract too which should be less damaging.
