Weed is cool and good.

I was carrying all my weed stuff around in a shoebox for a while, but it felt flimsy, and I wanted something easier to carry.. So I went to the army surplus store, and bought an ammo box.





Not only is it sturdy, but it locks the smell in too. A++ Party Box.

It was super easy to just rub off the weed label on the stiiizy pods and you definitely can't smell them when they're in your bag for travel so I doubt a dog will, and the pods will just look like normal disposable nic pods on xray I'd guess (I'm not a nicotine user so I have no idea what the pods look like in that realm)

But yeah at any rate it was personal amounts from one legal state to the other so I doubt they even gave a poo poo to begin with

I'm not going to do that and instead say that drug use and its effects are always completely subjective and what really matters is that you figure it out for yourself, like think about if you like specific strains, or just sativa/indica/hybrid, etc

And none of those answers are "wrong" if you are enjoying the weed in the end

As someone who uses it medicinally for anxiety and making my appetite work this is not a good take.

Now whether or not the strains are consistent is another thing altogether. Is Grape Ape from Brand A the same as Grape Ape from Brand B? Or is Grape Ape from Brand A this year the same as it was last year? Who knows.

But I can smoke two different strains and while both get me high, one will completely treat my issues and the other do nothing for me at all. Sorry, it's anecdotal but I think that's a weird disqualifier.

edit: I was feeling needlessly feisty

I think a lot of this is why I personally steer my decisions more on if it is advertised as a sativa/hybrid/indica/etc. Individual strains, even if you can guarantee it comes from the same grower, can vary quite a bit between batches, since there's just a bit more to making weed than growing it with the right genes

Since cannabis was legalized here last year, my small town/city has ~EXPLODED~ with drug "retailers" and it's getting out of hand. It's the 2nd largest city in the state but it is still only a few miles wide and yet there are (no joke) about 40-60 cannabis stores all located here. All manner of foreclosed building, trailer, puptent, and warehouse is being snatched up and converted into a dispensary. Hell, we have at least 3 drive-through weed retailers! We have become Weed Mecca. It's honestly unsustainable, and they just keep opening new ones. I've held my tongue for a long time but frankly, it's getting to be a problem.








Because my tolerance is so loving insane right now and I really want to go to a new one that just opened that is literally called "Dank of America" made out of an old BoA lol. I think I need to take a break, because we are planning to watch all the Fast/Furious movies soon. I can eat a third of a bar of chocolate and it's like... nothin'. Tips or tricks so i may better appreciate the collective works of Mr. Vince Diesel or the wonders of Mario?

different cannabis varietals have different cannabinoid, terpene and other cannabinoid-supportive profiles, which can result in a difference in high. Some plants also produce THC-V, which is much different than THCA. In addition, certain varietals are higher in CBD or CBG or CBN.

To Jelly's point though, "strains" as they currently exist are complete horse poo poo because there's no way of telling whether Cheetah Piss Balls #5 is the same as Cheetah Piss Balls #5 from a different grower. There's no testing, limited tracing of genetics (lotsa places claim this but c'mon lets be real) and mostly just a focus on making good weed

I've had the budtenders tell me that indica and sative aren't things either, but I know from experience the "indica" strains I buy are the medicinally useful ones. So if those aren't actually strains but they're still classifying them by those things that have been attributed to those strains then that information is still useful to me.

We've seen that happen here in a decriminalized city. Smoke shops going up everywhere selling thca of every type. It's a mixed bag. Some close up almost a month later, while other ones have been around for a while are opening new shops. Hard to understand if it's just a fad, or if the demand is really there. All of it is super cheap. Can't be that much money in it anymore. Even the chain gas stations (Amoco) and local grocers are selling thca now.

yeah, the number of new "CBD" or "hemp" vape/smoke shops I saw on my last trip to Houston (decriminalized city but still illegal statewide) was silly, it's like Starbucks twenty years ago where there's a new shop on every corner. some are getting more brazen and actually advertising "THC" on signs out front now. the number of shops doesn't seem sustainable, and some regulation and quality standards would be nice, but a gray market is better than a black market under full prohibition, i guess

Nigmaetcetera posted:

yup, whether its advertised as "marijuana" or "high-THCa hemp", most of the THC you get from smoking/vaping weed started out as THCa

Some company here was selling brownies with thca in them. The thing was, they added the thca prior to cooking, so it all ended up decarbed. Totally illegal here, I assume, but those 600 mg brownies were good the one time I had them. Unfortunately one of them was too covered in mold to eat. Kind of surprised to see them being sold in a store, honestly, since they were clearly made in some dude's house and with no preservatives.

All I know is we have been buying ounces of shake for $50 and we vape a lot, then use the abv to make edibles. Can be a little harsh and it's usually not-tasty strains like cat piss or nutta. The worst is GMO, seriously nauseating stuff. So goddamn oniony. Have to run it through the Pax for a couple minutes to burn off some of those terpines.

No idea what will happen to all the weed stores in town. I think a lot of people come in from Texas, but how can it be sustainable? There's 225,000 people in the entire county. Where does this money even come from? VC stuff I guess.

I think you should try different brands, batches, because unlike with tried-and-true booze production the rec cannabis industry is still in relative infancy, and there seems to be a fair amount of inconsistencies in the products. And with the glut of weed stores in your area, it should be no problem.
