as much as i love getting high, i got to praise CBD.

yes its value as a "miracle drug" is well overstated and there's a lot of scammy CBD related poo poo out there. but there is something its extemely good at. for the last three decades of my life i have been plagued by occasional back muscle spasms that get so bad they are completely debilitating. when i would get them i would be unable to walk or function for a bout three or four days until they subsided, and while traditional painkillers and muscle relaxants kind of ease them a bit, they dont do much. CBD however just makes them go away instantly. its absolutely surreal. like just five minutes ago i felt that horrible twinge that meant one was about to kick in and within five minutes felt my body starting to fold up but i found a 2:1 cart i had from several months ago and after just a couple hits the whole process just stops, its really amazing.

Yeah CBD gets a bad rap either as a do nothing distraction from THC or overhyped.

Personally I find it's actually a pretty decent, if subtle mood lifter. Got a bunch of chores to do around the house but trapped under a mountain of ennui? CBD lozenge and about an hour later suddenly things seem much less difficult and I have a motivation bump to do it.

It doesn't get me high, but it does get me moving.

CBD is an excellent muscle relaxant and pain reliever, I've explicitly kept my ABV from my dry vape to make higher CBD ratio edibles for pain relief focused stuff

tastes like poo poo but it's somewhat effective, it does need a lot of vaped matter though

i miss the classic strains

the last one i had was many years ago, Northern Lights. got before I let my medical card expire due to recreational legalization in michigan

and what I loved about it was that I just bought a quarter oz and after the bud dude weighed and bagged it, I realized what I received was this tiny tiny piece of a nug and then this massive thing that looked like a miniature christmas tree

depending on where you're at you might be able to get some of the classic strains. northern lights was still kicking around some dispensaries in the pacific northwest a few years last I checked before I moved down to the southwest; that was the main strain I was using for treating my chronic migraines

Probably considered expensive but the easiest to use rig I've got is what I affectionately refer to as the glass dildo, or the Focus V Carta. Looks like they have a 2 now for nearly twice the price.

https://focusv.com/pages/carta-classic

Cleaning the 1 is a bitch but I've had it a couple of years now as a near daily user, dropped it hard and the glass is durable AF, and I've always been able to unclog it and it's still functional so worth my investment. It's definitely portable and discreet.

Cleaning the glass part and the various components is easy with some salt and alcohol but I don't know if it's possible to get into the base so when it gets gummed up I get creative with blowing into it or fashioning some cleaning sticks from Q-tips to cram into the little exit hole. It's a pain in the rear end (if anyone has this thing and knows a better way, speak up).

My neighbor has a setup that I believe is probably one of the easiest and convenient rig setups, requiring essentially no cleaning, but I don't know what the thing he uses is called.

It's like a tube/pipe, that has an electric coil for dabbing at the end. Super small and basic. My neighbor just straight-up sticks that thing into his dab container and sucks straight from that. When he's home he can hook the end of it to a tube and ferry it into a glass piece.

I'm watching his plants so I could theoretically go take a picture of it.

I use a Lookah Seahorse Pro Plus as part of my daily driver setup. I use the water pipe adaptor to go to glass and I like it. It's sort of too much for me not through water. The Pro has a better cap, the Pro Plus has a magnetic cap and the magnets are weak. But then the Pro Plus has USB C charging vs Mini on the Pro.

Main cleaning tip is that the right since allen wrench is a perfect pokey if the Seahorse itself gets clogged.

CBD got me through some oral surgery, specifically extractions and implants. It would just nuke the throbbing pain and put me a more relaxed state. CBD also has done wonders for anxiety in that it helps with it, doesn't cure it by any means, but helps without major side effects. No grogginess, no staring at a wall empty headedness, etc.

Also taking CBD with THC makes the THC way more fun imo

You know you can buy a refillable/rechargeable one with a threaded mouthpiece and use a plastic syringe to squirt the resin into the holding tank.

I will actually buy a syringe and reuse the ones that have the mouthpiece screw off occasionally.

Not more than once though, I’m sure the wicks and atomizer need changing and all that eventually

Oh no
They should all be ceramic disc “wicks”. They’ll work until either a) they’re constantly clogging or b) they’re so covered in gunk the vapor tastes bad. You can probably count on at least four fills.

You can also just buy refillable carts for about $5 each then just buy syringes of distillate or live resin (rather than prefilled vape carts) and fill them to save a few bucks.

Weed is necessary for me for anxiety and appetite but of course I also enjoy how it feels.

I'm finally realizing that dabs and pens don't really scratch the itch like flower does, which is a bit confusing to me because they're supposed to be more concentrated. They work fine they just don't last.

Generally I'll smoke like half a bowl of flower (one puff) and go 4-5 hours before I think about smoking again. Two full puffs from a cart won't get me to that same level, and neither will a fat dab that yields like 2-3 huge clouds.

This made travel a bit of a struggle until I discovered that edibles work as well as flower does. I won't really get the same high from them but they take care of everything properly.

RSO works even better. Those syringes are pretty suspect, but I'm just now realizing that is probably one of the most discreet options available when mixed with snacks or food. I took some RSO before my last trip to the airport and it annihilated my anxiety in ways I'd never experienced.

I'm thinking maybe if I just go straight flower when I'm at home, when I do travel, my body won't be acclimated to concentrates and they'll work better.

The carts that are focused on "terps" never do poo poo for me at all so I avoid them. I have the best luck with the rosin ones.

hm. given that flower works, edibles mostly work, and RSOs work, I'm wondering if there's something getting stripped in the concentration process that you're needing. I don't think it's an acclimation issue you're having here, at the very least.

any idea what cbd content any of this had? That's usually a better go to than THC for anxiety from what I've seen, though I'm not a professional; given it's not psychoactive that might be getting filtered out in the vape carts/dabs, too.

a few years ago i was on tour in australia and was down to one nearly full cart and it broke. but i still had an empty! and the mouthpiece came right off. being from the us i assumed a syringe would be easy to get hold of so that i could do the transfer, but in australia apparently syringes are a highly restricted item. you cant even get like a toner syringe at an office supply place, which is crazy. in the us you can get basic plastic syringes at any pharmacy. people in downtown sydney were looking at my like i was up to some sketchy poo poo just for asking!

This is my (based on nothing) theory as well.

During a high anxiety episode I tried 200mg of CBD from a tincture multiple times and it did absolutely nothing for me. Like I could feel how it was relaxing my body but it wasn't working on the emotional anxiety.

But those 2:1 or 1:1 edibles will floor me. These ones in particular: https://www.dropscandies.com/ (live rosin), but I'm skeptical pure CBD would provide the same effect but it seems if anything I should try it in flower form (hemp flower) or edibles.

I tried some THC/CBG joints and the CBG had a nice relaxing effect in combination with the THC. While it was short-lived it was very relaxing, and it's also supposed to stimulate appetite for those of us whose anxiety is directly connected to our stomachs. Those joints burned very evenly and dense, like it took a lot of work to put them out.

Re: storing it, I like to store my pre-filled carts in the refridgerator and then thaw them before use (to keep terps from degrading), a big jar of live resin is gonna take forever to thaw, and this is all getting so complicated im gonna take a big ol hit and do something else rn:350:

I don’t live in CA and I’m not a legal expert, but it appears CA law says the daily purchase limit of concentrates is 8000mg (of THC, so probably 9-10 grams of actual oil). So I’d guess legally buying 50 grams in one shot is out.

I would guess the best you’d find is a dispensary having a special on 1g oil syringes where it’s like “buy 8 for the price of six”. Whether it’s worth it, I’m basing it on how things are in my medical-only state where a 1g syringe + your own cart is about 25-40% cheaper than just buying a 1g prefilled vape cart.
