nice, what's your conversion method of choice? I've been decarbing flower into butter and immediately using that in chocolate peanut butter chocolate chip cookies

I've got a Levo II and for small batches I like to decarb with it, but if not that, I like to use my instant pot since it's even less smell. 40 mins high pressure in a finger-tight mason jar does the trick, then it's into either butter or MCT oil. For the infusions I'll either use the Levo (which is easy - decarb in it, dump in the material to infuse with, then run the infusion cycle and you're done) or infuse in the instant pot: 4 hour low temp slow cook in a water bath, stirring occasionally

nice, nice - my setup is a bit more ersatz (decarb flower by itself in oven, put that flower into butter and place that mix into a hot water bath for the infusion cycle) but it sounds fairly similar then!

Question for my weed heads

I went on vacation and had a 2 week t breaks

I�m now back and hitting my regular 510 vape pen is not even getting me high. I smoked a joint and it was all good though. Is my body broken?

that would make me guess there's something wrong with the vaporization on the 510 pen rather than your body imo - you're getting visible vapor when hitting the pen yeah? might be worth giving the battery a quick recharge just to make sure it's actually got power stored (2 weeks without usage might've gotten it into a state where it's not really vaporizing anything if it was near dead iirc?) and that should force you to reset the cartridge connection too

anyways not sure what's going on but the big chain dispensary seems to have a long running bogo sale on vape carts; weirdly enough they're being very explicit on it being bogo not 50% off but I guess I shouldn't complain. wonder if their suppliers somehow got access to some of the overstock weed from the PNW to make into secondary products as a workaround, that'd be funny if so. shame they're owned by an ex-cop

yeah that'll never look like that naturally; best case scenario is that they're moon rocks like Crimson said (usually nug of flower dipped in hash oil, then covered in kief or thca powder), but given you've said he's pretty naive it could just be flower rolled in powdered sugar

E: given the clumpy residue on the jar I'd hazard it's sugar lol

THC for Physiotherapy must be a thing right?

I know I've been trying to correct muscle imbalances in my right leg/thigh for years now and at best when I do the prescribed exercises I have a vague feeling of the major muscle groups contracting and relaxing.

On weed though, I can feel all the muscles working , even the tiny stabilizers ones and can focus on making sure they fire up.

And if I get really wacked out I can even feel my bones moving and nerves pulsing.

That does sound like it may be helping with your kinesthetic awareness (or kinesthesia), though I'm not a doctor and I have no idea how you'd differentiate that from false positives. Are you still in contact with whoever prescribed the exercises to you? It might be worth describing both sets of sensations to them and see if it jives with what they'd expect someone who's getting more body control to be feeling or if this is something else entirely.

My 6%CBD/6%THC (pennywise) strain comes in the worst loving sealable baggy that shaves and collects dust in the corners and is just lovely to use. Anyway bags empty so I cut it up to harvest the kief just to see how much the bag was robbing me and came out at 0.12 grams. Perfect for a dynavap bowl. Kinda tricky to pack the bowl cus it's so dusty but pack it in it's all good. Rip it in 2 heat cycles and they were suuuuuuper dense pulls and now I'm absolutely tripping shiiit way more than 6% has any right to.

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

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.

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.

hm. I must admit most of my experimentation has been for head stuff rather than gut stuff, for what it's worth as well. I think you're also on the money that pure CBD isn't going to be effective either, from what I've from a friend that had to rely on hemp flower earlier on in their life now that I think on it further; body high was present but given there's no psychoactive effect it wouldn't do anything for anxiety. CBG is fattier/higher rosin content than CBD so I'm not surprised they burned super densely, haha. in any case, I do hope you find something that consistently works for you soon.

in other news, the dispensaries nearby have been getting really cutthroat with hundred dollar ounce sales, not that I'm complaining. somewhat lower quality stuff but it's all getting decarbed and thrown into butter anyways so whatever

the bf is pretty sensitive to the actual plant matter (actually did some blind A/B testing on this back in the PNW, could definitely tell a difference in his reaction between the two) so unfortunately that wouldn't work - I just ended up picking a little scoop strainer for aromatic oils that's been doing the trick though

Vaped weed gives me a more intense high for a shorter period of time. I'm usually higher off one or two rips than I would be on a joint, but it lasts 2 hours instead of 4. Just my experience tho.

I wonder if that's because you're getting less total psychoactive compounds all together, but more active THC? Vaping pot avoids direct combustion a bit more effectively, but there's still going to be more psychoactive stuff left over in the ABV duff than in the ash remains of a joint.
