The country I live in passed a medical marijuana law a few months ago and the president was like "We'll totally get this implemented before May" but surprise surprise they DID NOT get it done. I don't even know if I'd qualify for it but I'd like to see the regulations so I know. I haven't smoked weed in like 5 years because I was tired of buying from dealers. I hope this new law winds up more as a "anything a doctor says can help you" kind of thing and not a restrictive "cancer and other wasting diseases only" kind of thing.

Anyways I assume that eventually they'll get this done so I'm looking for recommendations for a dry herb vaporizer that's good for small doses. Is the DaVinci Miqro good?

I'm really happy with my Fury Edge, especially when using the dosing capsules. I think the capsules are about .7g of flower per capsule and you can easily get 2-3 sessions out of one capsule if you're not a very regular daily smoker like me.

Thanks, that looks pretty good. I just want a dry herb vape where I can take one or two hits and be good. My wife doesn't do weed and I have no IRL friends locally so I don't really wanna get turbo baked myself. Plus with weed I get this like, anxiety curve. A hit or two calms me down. More than that revs me up. So I just wanna take a small little tiny baby vapor hit and sit in a chair.

Thanks for the input everyone. Looks like it'll be either the Fury Edge or the Arizer Solo after looking at both on YouTube....

The government said the medicinal weed regulations will be ready by September. I'm not holding my breath.

Well, not yet anyways. I always hold my breath when I take a hit, I don't like to see any vapor in my exhale it feels like I'm wasting the good stuff that way. In September I hope to do a good amount of breath holding, in that particular manner.

I'm still browsing this thread jealously as I wait for medical regulations. I hope they're not too stringent here.

I used to love the feeling of couch lock, so I guess that means I'd want an indica? Sometimes weed makes it so I can't leave the couch and everything feels nice and sometimes weed is like "hey never stop thinking about your debt and also what's that is your heart beating too fast? Your dad is disappointed in you" and I like the first one better. I've never been able to buy a "strain" so I never know what I'm getting, it's just "weed."

Hellblazer187
Oct 12, 2003

Yeah, that makes sense. I will say the couch lock stuff happened more when I was a daily smoker and the anxiety has happened more as I've become someone who smokes three times a decade.

Edit: And when I was daily I was a vaper, which could also be part of the difference.

I ordered a vapor genie. I know vape technology has passed that by. But I loved the VG from like 08-12 or whenever it was I smoked weed all the time. The regulations for medical marijuana are not yet finalized so there's a chance this gets confiscated at customs. But, whatever. I had a bad day and I don't have weed to smoke but just buying a weed product made me feel a little bit better.

The president of Costa Rica signed the medical cannabis regulations last Friday. They're not published yet so we don't know what they actually say. He's also pushing for full on recreational legalization. I don't know much about his other policies, I can't vote here so whatever. But long live CR's weed president IMO.

Does anyone here to weed stuff as a business? I'm still waiting for the full regulations on medical weed to be published but I saw one thing that said grow licenses will be about $2kUSD for small businesses and I'm thinking maybe I could do a weed business.

There's a lot of other hidden things as well. Unless the license is in a valuable state that has limited licenses and your goal is to purchased in 18 months (at a time when pot stocks are down so hard that capital is a pain in the rear end right now), do not start a plant-touching cannabis company until SAFE banking exists

1. As a W2 employee, your banking is fine. If you are an owner, your bank could drop you. If you own a home or want to purchase, the income you get from being an owner of a cannabis company does not count. Due to federal illegality, most mortgage types that have to do with Fannie / Freddie Mae will not work with you. As a W2 employee, it's legal but some banks or mortgage brokers don't want to deal with the hassle.

2. If you come from a functioning business with a normal tech stack, good luck! Cannabis tech is about 20-30 years behind everything else.

3. In most states there is MASSIVE price compression happening. A lot of new production facilities came online in states over the last couple of months, and there is a glut of biomass at the moment. A small-scale craft grow is doable, but still risky.

4. 2K is the business license. Do you have the cash for a full grow build? They're pricy as gently caress. Do you also have the cash to float between the time of getting the license, getting your grow inspected and approved, getting plants down, and then the time it takes to get plant ready for sale? Can you afford your first couple of batches to potentially come out as absolute poo poo and continue to do phenotype hunting?

5. Do you have retail connections that'll help you sell?

There's a LOT that goes into a cannabis business. It's hard to raise money, has major tax structure implications, and can have a real effect on your personal life.

Thank you for the input. This would be non-US so some of these items don't apply. The new medical law where I live is a federal law. Banking here is a huge pain in the rear end (I spent three hours at a bank yesterday lmao) but there shouldn't be any legal issues with banking. I do have cash for a small grow build. I also have another company that's not in the weed business so I wouldn't be living needing to live off of it. The answer to number five is a big fat no for right now. I'd basically want to be growing for my own use, but then selling the excess if I can do so legally and profitably.

Good luck with it! I don't know enough about the international markets to give other advice, but would love to follow your journey if you decide to do it. I'd recommend talking to a local cannabis lawyer, as I'm guessing there's still going to be weird compliance stuff.

Yeah, absolutely. There won't be any cannabis specialist lawyers I don't think, at least not for a while. The law was passed in March and the regulations were signed three weeks ago, but they don't go into effect until they're published in the official "stuff is law now" newspaper. So nobody knows what the final regulations say yet, besides like, the president. But I know several business lawyers I trust so I will absolutely talk to all of them if I go for it. Thank you!

Alright this is the plan guys: we're adding 840 to the pantheon of weed numbers. This is necessary due to the poor planning that went into making 4:20am so early. What this means in practice is that you now have another good reason to smoke right before work and again at night, and also that there is a new weed holiday in August. And feel free to do it twice as hard this time if you want. Please spread the word.

I bought weed on the street corner today. I went to the appliance store to buy an air fryer. Some dudes trying to sell flags of the country I live in. I was like "No, soy gringo" and they go "tenemos bandera de tu patria" and they pointed to a US flag they had. I said "soy gringo pero no soy patriotico" but then I smelled that he was smoking weed and he noticed that I smelled. "Que rico, eh?" he said offered me a hit of his joint and I said no... but then I turned back and said "vendes?" So that's the story of how I got a very small amount of weed for ten dollars which I will put into my vapor genie tonight when I'm watching wrestling. BTW air fryer worked really well, best chicken breast I've ever made at home, I think.

Despite getting high approx. 3 times with my vaporgenie and enjoying it, I did decide to order another vape with more precise temperature control and a glass connector. I got the Planet of the Vapes One, I'll let you all know how I like it. I actually don't have a glass waterpipe right now either but those are very easy to get around here. My lungs are very sensitive, water cooled vapor is gonna be my jam.

I want something small in case I ever make friends locally who smoke. I don't think I'll ever do combustion again but if they're all passing a joint and I've got a little bitty vape for myself I think that would work. Or maybe I could just pass the vape to people who want it. I've definitely seen people passing Js around after jiu jitsu class but I was too shy to say anything.

I'm not sure I actually like weed. I remember liking weed a lot. I was excited to start smoking again. And the first few highs since I got some a week ago were nice. But the last few times I got high I was like "huh I don't actually like this feeling that much." I'm out for now and I don't think I'll seek anymore out. I wish there was a drug that was like weed the way I remember it instead of the way it makes me feel now.

I think honestly it's "weed, but with friends." My social life had been poo poo for a long time but the pandemic absolutely destroyed it. My wife and I had been on like, March 2020 levels of lockdown until like the last month or two. So we don't have friends anymore. And we have marital problems and she doesn't smoke. So once the novelty of "wow I'm high again this owns!" wore of it just felt like, really really lonely.

I'm planning to join the rest of the world in pretending that Covid is over sometimes next year.

3) Oops found a weed dealer across the street from my house
4) WEED IS GREAT, I'M BUYING A DIGITAL VAPORIZER
5) Hm actually I don't know how much I even like weed
6) Digital vape arrived.
7) (next week) Gonna buy more weed to try the new piece.

Well, I tried my POTV ONE with some non-weed herbs (chamomile and then later sage). Seems like a nice little unit, especially for the price compared to other portable units. I'll be looking forward to taking it for a spin with the real deal, when I can do so in a social setting. I think that's what was missing from my weed experience previously.

I enjoy my planet of the vapes one. I have never tried any other battery flower vape. I can put a small bud in without grinding, and then when it's done I grind it in the bowl with a toothpick. It's so brittle from drying out it grinds with just a bit of pressure. Then I vape it again. In fact, I just did that a few minutes ago.

Been having weed more frequently. I pack my bowl like 80% with hemp flower that's just CBD and then top it off with real weed. The much higher CBD content per bowl seems to make the anxiety non-existent and I still get pretty high. So that's a win for me. I've been getting baked every night and watching impractical jokers.
