(and can't post for 4 minutes!)

I'm basically new to weed so I've got a couple of questions

had a smoke on three separate days this week - first was joint, next two spliffs cos i think the joint was too much for me.

anyway, it hasn't been that great. i basically just immediately feel like lying down and thinking about things, and i suppose my thoughts feel a bit more interesting and vivid than normal, but i was hoping to find things like games and movies more interesting when it's been the opposite. i put on a game i like and after about 15 minutes i was completely bored and tired and just wanted to lie down. there's no giddiness or i dunno, extra level of fun really.

there are some nice physical sensations but mostly they're semi-unpleasant.

all three times i basically fall asleep after an hour.

so i'm wondering, does your reaction to weed change a lot depending on method of intake - like, should i try something other than smoking - and does it change when you use it more?

i've smoked before but i was usually drinking along with and couldn't tell what was what, so this is my first weed only foray.

I know it's sacrilege, but try just having a puff or two and see how it goes. Also, try other strains to see how they treat you. Some weed makes me fall asleep, some makes me want to get up and dance.

As far as my experience goes, the biggest thing that method impacts is onset time, which can definitely impact the type of high you get

yeah, porcelain one hitters are excellent for doing a super small bowl, its how I started smoking regularly and helped keep my tolerance in check for a while since its such a small bowl

but there's nothing wrong with just a puff or two and calling it good. I recently quit vape carts and my tolerance has been PLUMMETING and I'm finding that ripping hits off the bong is a bit too much some days, so I'm using smaller bowls and only taking 1-2 hits and it's definitely better

I don't look at it as me not be hardcore or some poo poo. I'm just being much more economical than the huge dab ripper guys

It sounds like you got an Indica-dominant strain :goonsay:

This chart is sorta bullshit and the idea of weed being soley a Sativa or Indica is a little behind the science, but its a good start

You can try a type 2 (or 1:1 cbd) flower and that should be a lot less up front and slower to build. Also its gonna be lower thc overall than most normal weed, and that'll help too.

yes, and yes (up to a point). and while you should try edibles at some point, I would actually suggest trying to smoke less first - a whole joint is a lot to smoke for your first time out. It sounds like you're still acclimating to it and might be doing too much. Like others have suggested, try taking just a couple of puffs of a joint or getting a one-hitter pipe. (Or, consider getting something like a Dynavap, if you're willing to try vaping the herb instead of smoking it.)

And give it a few more tries before you write it off, there can be a sensitization period where your body is still getting used to it and the first couple of times aren't indicative of how it will always feel. (My partner only tried it for the first time this summer, and the first two times she felt absolutely nothing, before it clicked on the third try and she got pleasantly high.)

seconded. I've gotten in a habit of having some type 2 in my Dynavap in the evenings and weekends when I still have to deal with chores and kids, and then switch to type 1 after they're all in bed. it does a real good job of taking the edge off and giving me a little buzz, but I'm still able to stay active and keep my wits about me instead of sinking into the couch.

cool thanks for all the tips. i'll ordered a little glass one hitter. i'll try just smoking less - the problem with rolling is that i hate feeling like i'm wasting it cos it's expensive so i end up smoking past when i actually want to.

i'll see if it gets better like this and if not next time i'll try to get a sativa strain before writing it off.

it's true

also better for gaming to me. I always start the dynavap heating, get distracted, then gently caress it up, whereas with the Arizer I can just load a huge bowl, put the heat on, and draw when I can for a long time

Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.


This stuff could have gone another week but we're about to get 2" of rain in 48 hrs and then temps plumment into 40s and upper 30s over night. Basically everything is showing some amount of clouds, with sugar leaves ambered off; seems good enough to chop and get it all in before I lose 25% of it to botrytis. Per the breeder calendar I cut these at the beginning of the normal window; per my own general preferences I cut it a week early, but the Gods force your hand sometimes in all things agricultural. I've done my share of absolutely miserable mid-rainstorm harvests as a result of letting stuff go a couple days too far and then just not having a choice; gently caress that. I've been sick for most of the past 2 weeks, no interest at all in being out in the wet.

Hacked the fans and hung the rest; gonna be an annoying final afternoon of trimming but this looks like another 1-1.5 pounds of dry bud to me (mostly Peyote Cookies), and then I am soooooo done with this poo poo until 2024.



The rest of the land race before trimming at all. This stuff is practically self trimming, had almost zero health problems, and pooped out 22oz off a single indoor plant, so the overall economics there actually are not bad at all.

edit: that's about a 24x12x12" cube irregular rectangular prism of weed, and once it was mostly destemmed aside from cola-ends, it took up an entire 8L pot, despite only weighing 9oz :laugh: AIR BUD

picked up this washable/reusable air-filtration machine ~6 months ago for real cheap at a charity sale. been doing all of my (dry flower) vaping in front of it and that’s worked out well

finally broke the thing open to clean it today. disposable first-pass filter was what you would expect, lots of dust and lint that smelled like the inside of a stoner’s vacuum

the second-pass washable/reusable filter was a surprise though. looked like it was candy coated with the good stuff. stuck my tongue on there and it tasted quite nice. figured i might as well give it a wash with ethanol and see what happens

ended up spotless, and the resulting ethanol/filter-candy solution came out a dark beautiful green with just a sheen of gold. looked like it’d been clarified, which I guess makes sense on account of the two-stage filter

don’t really drink much, so i decided against chugging it. threw it on a double boiler where it is now cooking down to…. i’m not really sure what? anyone have any experience with this?

seems like it’s probably just some absurdly clean resin? guess i’ll find out in a bit, but if anyone has any insight that would be appreciated :tipshat:

I think I had been packing my dynavap bowls too tightly and getting inadequate extraction as a result. Moving from Dyna B + Torch + tighly packed to Dyna M + Inductions + loosely packed has resulted in a dramatic difference in how high I can get.
