Bongs and bubblers might be banned on Amazon and Ebay in some of your countries, but most of the popular DHGate glassware can be found in the UK from resellers with only a tiny markup. All of my glassware has come from Amazon.

I've got a dumb as hell question. I've been abstaining from marijuana since the New Year and decided today it would be fine to get and use a small amount. I wanted to go with an edible, as I always preferred them, and figured I'd try a tincture as I haven't used one before. I went to the shop and spoke to a salesperson who directed me to this product. I was running other errands and wasn't paying attention so just grabbed it and left. Now that I have it at home, I realize that it is not a tincture, but is a serum. Luckily I didn't grab a CBD-dominant product, but what exactly am I supposed to do with it? The instructions on the box are identical to those on the page I linked and are vague as to what "apply" means. Google suggests it's topical but every result discussed CBD-infused beauty products.

So do I just rub this on my skin? If so, is any place in particular best? Out of curiosity, what would happen if I ingested it some other way?

Oh no
It’s full extract cannabis oil.

You can use it sublingually like a tincture.
You can eat it like an edible or put some in a drink.
I’m pretty sure you could vape it, but please don’t take just my word on it. no, do not vape FECO.

You can rub it on your skin as a topical, but that won’t get you high. Might relieve pain, though.

Awesome, thank you! I would have rubbed a pea sized amount somewhere then thrown the whole thing away when nothing happened. I'll go sublingual.

I rubbed a bunch of 50mg/ml CBD/mct oil into my sore neck once and definitely felt it after a little while

I still really want a good induction heater for my vapcap and this pre-Orion-design Apollo from lucid customs isn't it. Too fast, too close to the tip. Ispire it is?

I have an Apollo 2, and while it's nice (imo it's too powerful), I like the wand better. Especially the way it heats. I feel like the Apollo just blasts the hell out of the cap and the chamber isn't hot at all when you get the click. I have a VonG with the captive cap, and with my Apollo I have to run 5-6 seconds past the click. With the wand, it's ready to go right at the click, even on the first hit which coming from an Apollo amazed me. I was used to having an extremely thin first hit.

Because I'm lazy, I also have this (https://www.etsy.com/listing/1041987745/dynavap-skcreations-cftube-induction) for my wand which makes it more like a traditional IH meant for a Dynavap. Makes it completely hands-free and fool-proof. With that insert, it puts the heat right near the bottom of the cap. It comes with a few extra pads you can use if you'd like to move it closer to the tip.

I bought and immediately resold the Orion. I kept getting distracted and letting the “drop it in and heat automatically” thing combust on me. I need a deadman switch to keep me there.

I wish the Fluxer guy was still making heaters, but last update he’s reassessing whether handmade niche devices even make sense as a business

I've also been really impressed with the way the Wand heats up the dynavap. I've made a couple of DIY induction heaters over the past year or two, and they always ended up randomly combusting the weed (before the boards eventually blew up). I also have a UFO owning friend who complained about combusting when he first got it.

That SkullCandy insert is a great addon, but impossible for me to get. Their site and their store on Etsy doesn't ship to the UK. :(

e: Regarding not being able to easily combust, I use the half chamber method with 5mm of steel washers in the dynavap chamber. I've just tried a full chamber with my other SS head, and it combusted on the first attempt. I guess the extra steel in the half chamber head tempers the heat?

Tried it on my bad back out of curiosity. The recommended oral dose applied topically gets you a relatively short couple-beer buzz like 90 minutes later. I wouldn't use it primarily like that, but it was pleasant.

How has your buying experience been? Did you have to wait forever to get your order? Any worry over leaded glass/breakage? I'm seeing like less than 20 bucks for crazy looking glass bongs on there, and I'm finding it hard to believe it'll be as good as it looks.

ive made 3 purchases now. they all arrived eventually but the time frame from purchase to at my door did vary from about 1-3 months. all were packaged nice enough not to be broken and the quality is exactly the same as most of the stuff you can buy at head shops because theyre buying in bulk from literally these same shops in many cases.

i highly recommend it and ill never go back to paying shop mark up. it's so much cheaper you can buy two of what you want so you have a backup and still come out saving money

Also don’t have people who already admit they don’t know anything about the product but still hover over you. Like drat man let me look at stuff running through my mental checklist and checking the vibe on all this poo poo and I’ll let you know.

That box has 5 years of hash droppings and resin caked on it. No way in hell it makes it through the mail back to Centurylink.

I did a weed experiment. I normally connect the mini globe bong to larger glassware, fill that, then slowly titrate. I just tried taking in an entire half bowl in one hit using just the mini globe bong. It went well.

That's a sweet setup. I switched from a water dab rig to a box mod + wax atomizer but it would be nice to have a quality desktop rig.

I also had no idea that there was legal weed in the UK, I assume it's medical? Wiki says that the UK is the world's largest exporter of legal weed which was quite surprising to me.

Yeah, it's possible to get a private prescription now. The whole system is a loving ridiculous bureaucratic mess , but it does mean that it's possible to get decent legal weed as well as a get out of jail card.

There's a subreddit and a wiki if anyone wants any further info.

I'm not on Project 21, but I have a legal UK prescription for chronic pain. I do know a goon who has recently gone through the process with anxiety, and I'll page him to this thread.

The initial consultation is mostly them double checking that you fit all the criteria. It's rare for them to look for reasons to deny anyone a prescription, but they have to make sure that the person has a diagnosed condition that's on the list of conditions/symptoms, and that they have tried at least 2 conventional treatments. My consultation with the pain specialist at Sapphire was a 15 minute zoom chat where I told him about my prior use, and asked for specific strains.
