What loving monster decided it was ever a good, moral, or acceptable idea to put sorbitol or other bowel-purging zero-calorie sugar alcohols into commercial edibles? I’m angry, god drat it! There is no safe amount of sorbitol! Ban that poo poo! It’s worse than thalidomide, at least that poo poo gets you high. Sorbitol makes anything you mix it with shoot out of your body at the speed of sound, that includes weed, presumably at least slightly hindering its absorption.

Yes, they were a gift, i obviously wouldn’t have made this mistake myself, but I would hardly consider being poisoned to be a gift to feel thankful about, free poison is still poison. I would have thrown them away if my eye hadn’t skipped over the sorbitol when I read the ingredients the first time. Three days of dysentery is not a commensurate punishment to eating 8 gummy bears, I don’t care how little I paid attention to the ingredients, eating 8 pieces of candy should not sicken you, period.

Ok, that’s enough harshing everybody’s mellow, gonna go do a few small dabs, everybody avoid sorbitol and maltitol and all the other tols, and pretend I didn’t come screaming in here like a flaming cat.

Edit: I only took 100 mg worth of thc, that should NOT have left me in the state of agony I was left in.

8. 12.5 mg each. I still think it’s insane that 8 should sicken me or anybody, I mean my seizure pills in the morning weigh not-much-less.

and these are the reasons I stay away from edibles. Tripping acid or mushrooms once a week (Saturdays) has been my go to for if I want to get more baked than dabs. edibles seem to be gnarly for everyone these days. have you ever tried firecrackers?

Yeah it was around November 3rd to December, on Saturdays. I remember taking like 2 tabs of acid while watching the Election news and it was freaky. Only did it about 4 weeks in a row.
..
The point being, to regulate how much tripping there was going on, because there are absolutely people who trip heavy every other day even; which has similar effects to overeating edibles . Not great lol. I basically believe dabs and bowls are best for everyday and edibles and other heavier stuff is for weekends only

yea at the beginning of the pandemic i was probably dropping acid every other week (not huge doses but not "micro" either by any stretch) and it was beginning to feel like too much for my old rear end brain plus the novelty was wearing thin so now i try and wait at least a month

Hell yeah man, good acid trips are hella fun. But this is largely something enjoyed in groups so this poo poo has kinda put a damper on 8 hour group trip sessions.
Gonna smoke a fat dab in memoriam for dropping cid and going to the movies for hours with the bros

My grandma got loving owned by a 'CBD Gummy' from 'friend' the other day, went to the hospital and all she was tripping so bad.
I just told her that if she's doing drugs from someone and didn't just spend the customary hour to try the drug out on their lovely couch first then she deserves it.

Spent the day with a disposable vape and pretty much emptied it. Is there anything I can still do with this or should I just toss it?

i usually toss them but if you can invert it upside down with the mouthpiece removed (should just screw off) it will eventually drip out and then you can smoke it on a joint or top of a bowl

You can refill it. Should only throw them out when the coil stops working imo. I’m respectful of my earth mother or whatever.

none of the 3 shops near me sell just straight vape oil. unless they're hiding it somewhere. ???

I've been wondering how to stop ending up with these clogged cartridges, it was going good with this brand for the last month and a half there then the last few all hosed up again. Even storing them upright all the time.

This is a good idea. I only have two of them so one should be easy to refill.

This is a better idea. One of them will be drip and one will be a refill and we'll see if the battery holds. Otherwise, I'll still have an almost-good enough battery coil on the other one to transfer it.

I went over to my dad’s house for Father’s Day and dropped my pug Mrs. Maisel off at my mom’s house so she could take care of her for the day and night. Mrs. Maisel immediately ate a quarter of an ounce of Indica my mom dropped on the floor for a split second. God she’s so sick it’s not even funny. Not that being way too high is ordinarily funny. I mean, it is for humans, but not for dogs, because weed is just plain poisonous to dogs. Everybody pray like Robert Tilton that the thc flees her body and takes solace in mine.

My dog loves the smell of weed because I pet him a lot and give him more treats when I'm high.

He's an accidental marijuana alert dog and tells me who has weed.

Cats on the other hand can be total stoners.

My cat sometimes screams at me to fire up the vape, and he'll place his nose right next to my mouth and nose to inhale when I breathe out. He's very much into his indicas at the moment.

to legal state folks: what is the difference (if any) between a dab pen and a regular cartridge? i hear people saying the former but ive never encountered anything called that for sale here

Dab pens are like an Yucan Evolve Plus+ or whatever I have, basically a portable/pocketable dab rig. Mine has four quartz coils and has a small storage stash for concentrates on the bottom.

I will say, you may see "dab carts" from time to time in legal states, these are usually just alternative extraction methods meant to have higher THC% and potentially more "full sepctrum" qualities. It's still a cartridge though.

Carts are in every shop here. They're for people who don't mind paying more to potentially deal with less mess, and usually are interchangeable with small batteries.

The yocan evolve is a good dab pen, but you have to be careful not to overload it, or it will block the air passage under the coils and glue itself together. I need to buy another, lost my older evolves.

Yeah the cartridge market is nuts in CA. My store has probably a dozen brands and well over 50 strains. Just a full wall of cartridges. And CBD ones as well. Super popular.

This is 110% what they are for me. Only problem is that it's also really easy to just sip on a vape cart all day long while you vegg in front of the computer/TV

We can't get carts legally in the UK just yet, but they are apparently going to be a thing soon from the legal weed pharmacies.

I've made a few DIY backup carts by mixing 1 part terpenes with 9 parts distillate and using 2mm hole CCell cartridges, and it's a great way to stealth vape.
