I've used it a lot over the years to help reset my sleep patterns around shift work, and found it varies in effectiveness depending on the brand, as well as the dose. High doses don't work well for me. Best is a brand called Vitafusion who do a product called SleepWell. It's formulated with 3mg per 2 gummies, and it was so effective for me that I'd find myself drifting off to sleep without trying. No other dose or brand ever did that. Still available from a popular auction site, and I've never had any stopped by customs.

Melatonin, is it effective?
Hey guys - wanted to ask what’s your experiences of melatonin if you’ve tried it for sleep purposes, how effective did you find it?
The NHS site says it’s also prescription only - swear you used to be able to get it in the health food shops, am guessing laws on psychoactive drugs mean its prescription only now. So I wanted to hear your thoughts/experiences before going down that route. thanks all in advance 💚

Did absolutely nothing for me. Can’t believe it now needs a scrip🙄. Microdose Xanax still the best sleep aid imo, no negatives. That or Unicorn 🦄 Piss from Canadian Imports 🤤😴
Yeah mental it requires a prescription now - some further reading tells me that most Drs are reluctant to prescribe it, so probs not a viable route anyway. Obv can pick it up elsewhere thanks to the internet but from sounds of things, might be a bit bunk.
Microdosing Xanax carefully sounds interesting, can see how that one might work, just enough to send you off without giving yourself a dependence problem. Have tried Valium once or twice before as a post rave sleep aid - magic blue off buttons! I should note this definitely was one-off/emergency usage only, never regular (just a health warning for the benefit of anybody else reading - very easy to get hooked on benzos and very difficult to come off, from seeing ppl close to me who’ve developed a benzo addiction. Very nasty physical withdrawal symptoms)
And thanks for the tip on the unicorn piss! Ha yeah don’t usually do carts to keep tolerance down but might have to resort to a nice strong one to send me off for the night - heard some very good things about CI’s stuff, definitely keeping that one in mind 👌

Totally agree with your comments mate. I find with sleep aids the less you use them the better they work. Tolerance builds so quickly. I take 0.25mg (or less) of Xanax possibly twice a week if I’m wide awake in the middle of the night with a least 4 hours to go until I need to get up. Always works and I wake up very refreshed. Taken nightly it would stop working in a couple of weeks and knowing that means I have no incentive to increase dose or frequency.
I occasionally treat myself to a hit of the 🦄 at bedtime. Fall asleep with a big grin on my face!🤗

That sounds v regimented and sensible usage 👌 gives your body enough time to get it out your system too.
Those carts sound lush tbf, just been reading the posts from other peeps on CIs page - face meltingly good sleepy times all around from the sounds of things!! Very good price too, will check em out some point 👍

I bought about 1000 blue diazepam decades ago, and I took them all. That was a very unproductive number of months. Lovely with a G&T on a Sunday afternoon I found. Be careful not to kill yourself, obviously.
I’ve tried melatonin gummies in the past. They worked great but used to get bad headaches the following day.
I also read that long term use can cause rebound insomnia so I quit.

For me it has to be some Bruce Banner #3 from 1e hulp in the dam all the way back in 2017. I've never been able to recapture that one. It was a skunky, kind of gassy & fruity type all rolled into one with such a unique flavour profile to finish. The high was second to none. Wiped me right out. Left me looking at the world with my eyes so bulged they were basically closed. They say you'll never recapture that first high, this one took me above and beyond.
For sure! It flew under the radar quite a bit and I think it's unique musk and it's face melting is why.
I don’t know if it’s the best, but my favourite strain is Sour Diesel. I’ve been a fan since I tried the East Coast cut that Grey Area used to sell in Amsterdam. Some of the best tasting weed I’ve ever had.
Yes I remember that sour diesel from the grey area 👍😂😉also the New York city Diesel from Abraxsas.that was a nice smoke.i drove to Amsterdam that year 2006 if i recall world cup time..I smuggled 6 grams of that back 🥴.and made it through ha ha 🤣.those were the days 😉
Ooh that sounds interesting.
Cherry AK.
I wonder what strain is it that brings this cherry terpene to the plate?

ESB - extra special bud , Old times #2 and S4 - Skunk 4 ways. S4 by far was the best I have ever had even to this day sadly it was a special made breed so will never have the oppurtunity to try it again :(
If you grow both those strains are available mate.
They're both OLDTIMER1 strains who sadly is no longer with us but some good fellows have taken up the mantle of his strains...people like buddelaire from fleur de mal seeds

Still got a couple of Oldtimes seeds in the fridge I think, probably no good after all these years?
You would be surprised.

Super Lemon Haze from the original Greenhouse Coffeeshop in Amsterdam :)
Also Arjans Strawberry Haze is right there with it, properly grown in soil for pure taste, can't beat the sweet berry on the exhale!

My favourite strain ever was back in 2004 and called MMG “Martian Mean Green” from DNA, I managed to get a few beautiful phenos from a pack of reg seeds
It was the ultimate strain and I’ve never seen or smelt anything like it since then ❤️

Absolutely loved that strain. I remember queuing for a long time as I was there for the cannabis cup (2006). Grey Area’s queue was ridiculous on a normal day!
A very special strain which I haven’t seen since unfortunately.
Would love to see someone give that a go and bring it back.

Purple Haze back in 2008. Smelt and tasted like lavender. Haven’t had anything quite like it since then.
Man I used to get some banging street weed back around those times. Northern Lights, White Widow and good ole Cheese were the norm.

Never knew the strain but I've been forever trying to find something that I smoked about the same era that had a lavender terp.
Lovely stuff, got it once and then I've never seen anything like it since.

got an oz like that in the late 90's, had the potent lavender smell and taste. think it was a bit on the indica pheno side. very dark purple and when you snapped the buds in half the core was almost black. amazing bag appeal. really strong and tasty stuff too
Gelonade I had a lovely batch a few years ago off the dw never tasted gelonade like it since and can’t even remember who the seller was called
recently went to albania, fuck knows what it was but it was something mint related.... they albanians know how to grow haha
Some sweet tooth from Barney's in Dam. Some of the "Ice" a local strain I smoked in Jamaica.

Honourable mentions to the Hawaiian Haze at Katsu in Dam too.
Had serious difficulties negotiating everyday tasks after that.

I’ve only had this once but it was beautiful.
Tasted like Afghan black hash, made me very happy for about 30 minutes then sent me to bed.
Same with you?

Oreoz from super Hans back in lockdown. Most expensive bud I've bought but it literally tasted of chocolate biscuits. It was heaven.
Special Olympics, a sativa strain from a Canadian MOM, Zippy about 16 years ago. One that will never be forgotten.
I recently had a ZOAP that was grown in Thailand that I honestly fell in love with.
I would like to get a top top shelf version to get down with.
Imagine the hash you’d get from that aswell🤯💯❤️❤️

Had a few, NY Diesel and Fruity Pebbles from Gray Area in Amsterdam back in 2016/17ish.
But about a year ago managed to get hold of Plum Mochi by Ted Budz, which ended up with me tripping over with a drink in my hand, laughing at myself uncontrollably. It was beautiful. I haven't been able to get my hands on it again since and it breaks my heart.

Best joint I ever had was a Hawaiian Haze I had 10 years ago.
Since then, I had Doja Permanent Marker which I thought was substantial last year.
My staples are Z, Cheese and I’m a sucker for an Orangey terp.

Flowerbomb kush from the greenhouse Amsterdam in the late 2000’s I think it was Green crack x OG kush
Mine is probably some jungle cake, Mac or boss og, all of them I got from here. Such great strains. Even chemdawg and uk cheese are up there too.
2018 Cali X Zkittlez, nothing else has ever came near and I wish I kept more for myself
Biggest hit I ever had was with hash - nepalese temple ball in around 1979.
I'd love to meet that again, might have been laced with opium.
Sorry its not weed.

The best strain I've ever smoked was Skywalker OG about 5 years ago. It was my first time smoking a strain I knew the name of and it was every bit as good as I thought it would be. I wish I could go back and get Zs off them
It's a toss up between bubba kush and amnesia haze for me. Had some bubba for the first time a few months back and it was a gorgeous body high. Delicious body rushes from it. Bought some again recently but doesn't have the same quality of effects unfortunately. Maybe because of different phenotypes 🤷🏻♂️.
Amnesia haze almost always gets me to a place of euphoria that's unmatched by other strains. Would love to find a strain that's more euphoric but out of the roughly 20 strains I've tried so far nothing has been more uplifting than ami.

As far as dominant sativa’s goes,I’ve always had a smile when bopping home with a bit of Amnesia in my sky.
buyed some weed in the dam in 2009 ish that made me space out totally, was strongest stone ever. i felt like i was on a different planet. was fun but a bit scary. cant remember the name but was sooooo strong i just walked around in circles for hours
bulldogs gorilla zkitles also strong but not quite as heavy as the dam stuff. down to my last gram or two wish i had more.

I'd go with either MAC by citizen stash or wedding crasher by BLKMRT both outstanding. I also had a bit of alien sin mint cookies by BLKT, I kid you not the bud was bluish instead of purple, all these strains were from a couple years ago when I was living in Canada.
Gotta be some LA Confidental I got from Dam, Grey Area back in 2010 now 😫 and Chocolope when I saw it.
as of recently Sassy (LB) with Eleven Roses that was nice.
I think a lot of these newer strains get abit lost/too mixed

Shroom noob - how to start?
Shroom noob - how to start?
So I have taken shrooms once before, years ago with friends and I think these were dried liberty caps, but cannot be sure. I really enjoyed them and want to have another go but don’t know where to start.
Can anyone help me out here, what shrooms do I need to be looking for? There’s many on here and I’m not sure what’s for me.
Thanks💚

My two favourite methods I would say suggest are:
Buying ground shrooms in caps so that you can measure exactly how much you take. My recommendation would be 0.5/1g to start with.
Other method is blend up dried whole shroom in a smoothie, I like mango, blueberry and strawberry with orange and lemon juice to help them activate quicker
As far as taking them goes, I always try to not have any large amounts of caffeine or thc in my system and set aside a good few hours.
I meditate and think about my intention for the trip, even if that's just to have fun and let go. I also tend to take shrooms on an empty stomach.
Take the whole amount you want at once, splitting a dose into multiple servings can really mess up the phases of intensity.
Make sure you are in a safe and comfortable place, preferably with somebody who isn't tripping.
Just let the mushrooms do their thing, there are no bad trips, just whatever the mushrooms want to show or not show you. I find mushrooms come in waves so if you think you trip is ending just stay aware for a while longer, don't end up in Aldi on the tail end of a trip like I have 😂
Strain wise I love B+, very rare to get a challenging trip, not super heavy either. McKenna are good all round, JMF if you feel a little more adventurous.
Don't listen to people telling you to just mash down 5gs, that's the sort of advice that ends up putting people off for life
As I do reviews I don't want to recommend any specific vendors.

Thanks for that, interesting read.
I like the idea of blended up into a smoothie as the taste was not for me at all. Although it was made into a tea so I wasn’t exactly expecting it to taste good either.
Thanks again!

Liberty caps are wild outdoors. completely different to mutated cultivated spores these days can produce. Libs should be picked and given for free, never sold.
Mckenna seems a good strain

I've seen this picked never sold thing a few times now. Why for liberty caps and not other cultivars? Is this an As Above So Below thing that others are aware of and not myself?
I called MadDabber out for shilling his own products in this post that I've linked and it looks like he's been taken off the wonderwall for the time being. Not sure what to make of that but hopefully he's being punished for it as he uses all the accounts for malicious purposes.

All the cubensis strains here will do the job, just look for sellers with good reviews.

does very heavy onset in proportion to the high correlate with dodgy ingredients in a mushroom chocolate bar?
Opt for a lower dose rather than higher. It wasn't too awful, but my first go on magic mushrooms turned into a bad trip halfway through. Having it wear off sooner rather than later was an absolute godsend, haha.

Spending too much $$$ on a grinder?
I wanna treat myself to something nice. My bog standard £10 Amazon grinder is fine I guess, but could be better.
I am currently eyeing up the Brilliant Cut Grinder, but am leaning away as I CBA to wait 2 months for it to ship from Canada. Also, I like to keep my crappier weed in the kief collector bit, and BCGs are only 3 pieces. Am also looking at the Santa Cruz Shredder, which seems highly rated.
Money isn't too much of an object, however, if a £40 grinder is just as good as a £100 one, obvs. would prefer to spend less. I mostly DHV (Crafty+), if that matters. Thanks!

My one constantly needs me to manually poke small bits of weed through the holes, lol. It does get the weed nice and fluffy though - which is what I hear SC is great for.
Depends what you want. I love a grinder that collects keif. Some don’t.
I highly doubt a £100 grinder will be all that much better than a £40 one. Probably paying for branding a lot of times. All made in the same factory in China. So unless you know it’s hand CNC’d. Then be wary.
Otherwise. What’s up with cheap grinders? Unless it’s a flex. I’ve had a grinder for 10 years. Cost me £20. Still does the job.
Bought a £25 one recently. Which also does the job. But collects ludicrous levels of keif.
Sorry. Not sure if I answered the question. But hype and desirability do not alway equal good value for money. So beware of influencers saying this grinder, or that grinder is the one.
It’s just a fuckin’ grinder. It grinds weed. It’s not rocket science.

Nah, you answered it. I think a fancy grinder is like a high quality knife. It feels better to use and does the job faster, but you don't strictly need one to cook. A crappy Wilko (R.I.P.) knife does the job well enough. Thanks!
Its amazing..buy the brilliant cut grinder.. had for a year used regularly..everyday multiple times.. and hasnt blocked or even collected kief around. the three piece is the best.. honestly i thought i was mad spending that much on a grinder..but produces the fluffliest grind you will see.. definitely worth a purchase

I have the following grinders
Large Santa Cruz
Large BCG
2 large flower mills
1 medium flower mill
1 medium Santa Cruz
1 zam
A metric fuckton of various cheap and cheerful ranging from flower mill clones to hemp biodegradable ones
The mills are my favourite followed by the Bcg
Anyone who says there isn't a difference between a premium and budget grinder are in my opinion incorrect especially when living with one long term
Personally I don't do keif collection as I want my weed to typical stay in my weed but I do get why people do it
The mills can be four piece
BCG seconds don't have the wait and genuinely I couldn't see what made mine a second

Hi DR, been looking at the new standard flower mill on RVS for £30 which has the "medium" plate, I believe. Do you use different plates on the premium or just stick to one? Any plates better than others (for general vaping)?
I'm attracted to the simplistic nature of the Standard but wondered if having only the medium plate would limit my experience? I'm using Dynavap/Tiny Might style vapes. (oh and the best ever in the whole world, Solo2... fishing rod extended... 😉)
Cheers :)

I pretty much only use the medium plates I have played around with the plates and find that medium works best for 90% of my stuff

I have a very technical solution for this 🤓: for a courser grind I turn the wheel less🤫…I’m going to patent my technique!
Get one of the BCG factory seconds. I can't spot a blemish on mine.
They're in stock and took about 10 days to the UK and I think there's still 15% off promo running. Best purchase I've made.
Get the medium plate. If you want a finer grind, grind upside down for a few rotations then flip it back up the right way.

I'm really happy with the stainless steel Herb Ripper I bought around a year ago. Had to soak it in iso once to get all of the left on weed hash and bits off it, and my mate genuinely thought I'd bought a new one. Not at those prices! Bought a fine grinding plate for it too, which I think should probably be the standard plate, but that's no doubt why it's separate and a costly add-on. Hopefully it'll last a lifetime.

Is it just me?
Is it just me?
So I don't know where to start, but I feel I'm stuck Ina rut. I feel uninspired, like I'm in the depths of darkness and my torch just ran out of batteries. Long story short I was going through court for access to my children, 3 years and nearly 5k later and I'm back to square one. Feel to just give up, it's been a hard fight especially when the opposing party doesn't even turn up to oppose. Someone help me please, I've been drowning for so long
Have a look at some spiritual teachers on you tube such as Eckart Tolle, Ram Dass, Mooji Baba. Read Eckart Tolles ‘The Power of Now’ All were life changing for me after a traumatic incident in my life. It won’t fix things immediately but it allows you to look at things from a different perspective and find some peace. I hope you can find your own peace and wellbeing. 🙏
divorce is almost tougher than death and way more stressful.
many elements of it are driven by other people’s emotions and are out of your control.
all you can do is be the best person every time you can. living this and knowing this is the only reliable solace you can find. and it can only help outcomes for you and the kids.
hang in there bigga

Stop throwing money into it. Be more selfish and focus purely on yourself If the mother is literally withholding your children from you. It sounds like you love them so they will want to see you one day, especially when their mother has no say in what they do.
What ever happens buddy, don't get to braking point. Don't do anything stupid just keep pushing on till you find something that makes you feel a bit better about stuff. Whatever is happening now is only temporary and your kids will make their own decisions as they grow up. I'm sure your kids will just be happy that your alive and hopefully healthy. No idea of your schedule but find a distraction like going gym if you don't already or something physical to burn energy and release endorphins.
I can only offer advice not that i have any idea of how I'd handle your situation, but i know i'd need a distraction. I hope you see your kids soon 🙏

Smoking weed in a flat
Ok I’ll try and cut a long story short. I’ve been living in a semi detached house for about 6 years. I’m a daily smoker, I’m disabled and I have been using weed to manage my pain for about the past ten years. I have never had an issue with any neighbours complaining or anything like that. Recently my landlord sold my house and I was served an eviction notice and due to my disability the council agreed to house me and got me a flat in my local area. I have never lived in a flat before and I’m quite worried about the neighbours complaining about me smoking weed. ( they are mostly elderly and disabled people) my local housing authority that has housed me has a zero tolerance policy about any drug use and I really don’t want any complaints against me. I have switched to vapes for the time being to reduce the smell. but I really prefer joints and it doesn’t feel the same to me. I usually smoke just pure flower joints. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions? Am I just being paranoid? Any advice is welcome thank you biggas ❤️
I had the same problem mate. I tried a prescription but the costs were ridiculous and i cancelled after a couple of months
that being said it did provide documentation stating i was legally permitted to use cannabis.
I sent the details to tower hamlets housing, and actually just told my neighbours i had a prescription, and just never told them when i cancelled it.
If you’re proactive about it there’s little they can do.
I still smoke a bong in the flat from time to time, but mostly use a dry herb vape with the window open and there are no issues with smell.
Best of luck! Remember the system is wrong, not you!

Hello there,
If it hasn't been mentioned already, try to get a script. There are plenty of places about that would help you, generally for a £50 or so consultation fee. They will assess your need, these weed places have their own doctors so it will probs be a video call. If you get accepted, buy some weed off them so you get a bag with a prescription stuck to it... Then I guess you refil the bag with whatever you want. One place that springs to mind is curaleaf

Get a filter that sucks up all the air in the room and an outlet pipe which connects or hangs off your window so the air that gets sucked from the inside get pulls straight out the gaff!
Your welcome
Your welcome
Hi, apologies if this is an old post. I'm in a similar situation.
A few months back I bought a purifier listed on Amazon as 'PureMate Smart Air Purifier with Ioniser mode, Air Quality Monitor, Display Off, Air Filter', cost about £120 with extra filters being £25ish, I think. That made a big difference though it's already not as good as it was when I first had it - it maybe just needs a new filter (or the old one hoovering!) There are smaller, cheaper versions but I can't comment on how good they are. I got one after seeing a similar post from bigga BBDoom. You probably don't need one with the ioniser or UV light, etc, they don't seem to make much difference? It makes a big difference to have it running while smoking but it's definitely not as 'quiet' as advertised - it also helps (to a lesser extent) if you just run it for a couple of hours after you've gone to bed.
Another thing that might help is to get yourself a good oil diffuser and have a few drops of oil in it that'll help mask the smell - PurEssential makes an oil that helps with smoke odours, and there are similar room sprays that supposedly do the same thing. Lots of stuff online about different diffuser oils that can help to hide smoke smells, etc. In my experience, people notice how 'nice' the room smells rather than anything else 😉😂. We've come a long way from burning some stinky incense (often bad for your breathing) and thinking it does anything other than obviously highlighting that you're trying to cover up a weed smell! Ahhh, the ignorance of my teenage youth! 😂
I've also seen some good smell-proof bags recently (but can't remember what they're called), everything from pencil case to rucksack size - available from Amazon (though I'd caution about having weed-related items in your Amazon history). They'll help reduce the smell if you can be arsed to keep taking everything in and out of it.
Finally, regardless of how 'clear' you think your room smells, get a non-smoking friend in to give you their opinion! You just don't notice the smell as much in your own home if you're constantly around it.
Please let us know if you find something that works well for you. Good luck! 👍

Diffusers whilst smoking will really mess up the air quality, you will have bud smell mixed with lovely oils which will really stench up a place. Your best bet is the filter which sucks the air with the duct connected to your window as the outlet(air output)… Do this and thank me later!
Yep, I didn't mean smoking whilst the diffuser's running - I run the purifier whilst (or after) smoking, and run the diffuser when not smoking (overnight or in the morning). Thanks for the clarification PE 👍. I'm interested in a filter ducting out the window but, when I see that, I always assume there's a grow happening, and I'd be worried that others would think the same.
If people have a similar setup for non-weed reasons, what is it actually for (ie what would you say it's for if someone asked)? I'd be very interested in this if I could see a setup that didn't look dodgy - is there anything you can link to I can have a look at? Appreciated, cheers 👍

A fan and filter setup would work best. You can sit it on a table and use it without ducting if need be, on a recycle mode if you will. Any smoke/air going through will get treated. Added bonus, all smoke/air will gravitate towards the filter, so none escapes out the door.
Thanks for replying, Harry 👍. Do you know if there's anything good that runs quietly? If you can recommend anything or link to something I'd really appreciate it. Cheers 👍
Look up carbon filters its just the same fan and filter you use in a grow,id suggest rhino carbon.filter there good and diff sizes,the smell sticks to the carbon and they do work mate
Cheers James 👍 Others have recommended Rhino products too. They're a bit pricey for me atm but it looks like they're the way to go. Thanks 👍
Not an expert on this subject but I would suggest getting a medical prescription, not for the access to flower etc but more just as some form of protection from draconian council policies. Looks quite bad on them evicting someone who has a legitimate medical reason to use
There are things you can try but nothing smells more than a joint unfortunately. You could try a sploofy, or get a fan and cover it with those scented dry cleaner sheets, or a combo. Better yet might be to consider using you favourite weed in some brownies. But I agree with nesto that if you have some kind of medical note/ prescription that might cover you. Otherwise pray for windy rainy nights where you can smoke it out of your window. I moved to vaping a while back, ULC and dr Terpy are good for distillate, and people who vape swear by live resin vapes, they cost a little more but the high on those is supposedly closer to a joint high, try sensi-mart for that perhaps, people love their live resin stuff. One day I will try this myself no doubt
In my experience, if you're smoking inside regularly somebody is bound to complain sooner or later. You'd be better off switching to dry herb vaping, what one did you buy? I could never get into it until I bought a high-end vape, took a week or so to get used to it but since then I haven't smoked in years. Far, far stealthier.
As others have said. Best solution is what growers do and suck the air through a carbon filter.
Rhino make great filters. You’ll need a fan and filter that can handle the volume of air in the room.

carbon filter and fan , you can get fans that are voltage controlled so it will be more quiet, i run a mini 6inch in my smoke room, was better with the larger one but next door is a weed farm so i can slack off
Plug in ozone generator left on timer near front door is a great last line of protection. Yes,I know they aren’t great for your health,but so is being homeless.
I’m suprised how few people are aware of these bits of kit.
You can even get them for your car.
They are super effective and start at £20.

I used to be in a very similar situation.
I bought an air purifyer and an activated carbon air filter, about £150 all in.
I can smoke a joint in my living room with both of these on and the smell is gone in half an hour and nobody outside knows any better

Moving it stressful as balls, so we completely understand where you are coming from. In my experience, so long as you aren't a neighbour from hell, most people probably won't care. I live in a shitty flat, and you are very much at the mercy of your immediate neighbours. You might find a single-dweller (who doesn't generally disturb the peace) gets a lot of leeway.
Besides, even if they did complain, the council likely has better things to worry about. I'm not saying the risk isn't there, but moreso that the gaps between 'neighbour disapproves', 'neighbour complains', and 'you get turfed out' are bigger than they seem.
The one thing that might tick them off is if you stink out the place. So, as already said here, odor absorbers/removers could give you some peace of mind.

So, smell reduction. Maybe block the bottom of the external flat door, and also the door of the room you smoke in to prevent random diffusion.
Currently I'm using a Levoit Core 300S air purifier and that thing is being worked ludicrously hard. Seems to work at minimising odor along with copious sprays of Febreeze (those cans don't last long!), but there's still a residual smell that you'd have to sort out if people who didn't like that smell called over.
The company that Chasin'Orange mentioned but couldn't remember is Stashic. Also available from them, and from other retailers than the ubiquitous one. The rucksack is very roomy, but I haven't tested it in the wild for its odor dampening qualities.

'Stashic' is the company I meant, thank you MightyRux 👍. I did also see versions without their logo on it that looked exactly the same so, with the Stashic, you might just be paying extra for their logo, I don't know. And I totally agree RE blocking the bottom of doors 👍.
When I used to smoke js the smoke buddy made a big difference

Good recommendation with the Smoke Buddy as a quick fix
Just be prepared for the yellow nicotine stain around your lips after a long session 😮💨
I’ll add, my neighbours hate me .. even more so when summer arrives ☀️ 😂 good luck🍻

do your meds affect your stone?
just super curious, i take Lamotrigine (mood stabiliser) and have found i’m now never able to get actually stoned/mind altered or giggly, just a bit sleepy and i can’t lie it’s a bummer 😭 anyone else?
I take amphetamines most days. I still get much more of a relaxed high over a buzzy one though. Mixing in a little booze usually helps the creative thoughts going.

i love my mighty but i hate filling it, cleaning it though ill most gladly suck on it. is there anything that serves a fat fingered slob with german quality?
The oven shouldn't take much cleaning and you can always use a loading tool and/or dosing capsules. The pain is the cooling unit- try ditching it completely in favour of a glass XL Rocket stem with pearls. You will never look back- and you never have to take it apart. You just pour in a little ISO and shake it to clean every few weeks. Lovely for lazy bastards like me!
Hehehe. I’m now trying to decide what to blast my head off with the Rocket stem next with.
Quality products that don’t disappoint.
I kinda think you’ll spend as much trying to get to the Mighty/TinyMight as you would not bothering with the shite and just finding a site with Klarna that sells them in the first place.
It has never been the case that Chinese made products have been better than craftsman-level products. You truly get what you pay for.

Hot damn, that’s going on the VAS list! No more crusty cooling unit cleaning for me! Thanks Polly.
arizer air max, not in mighty league but very easy to live with . Super quick load and easy cleaning of glass tubes. More of sipper unless you modify tubes and not quite as good as desktop but overall very decent experience
These https://www.storz-bickel.com/en/dosing-capsule-set-40
Mighty is one of the best there is, and cleaning it is just something you gotta do, but those caps make it cleaner.

In these situations I always recommend 2 things.
Dynavap. But ONLY with an induction heater. Titting about with flames just won’t do.
TinyMight 2. Because you can just load up a bowl and hit it. As much or as little as you want.
So for me it’s at home. Dynavap. Out and about. TinyMight 2
Both fit in your pocket with not much fuss. Both get you blasted.

Distillate question

No_regrats
Distillate question
Do different distillates do different things, like when it's advertised as hybrid, indicia, satitva? I thought distillate was just the pure high effect?
Distillate is pretty much pure thc so it is not indica or sativa. Many people debate if indica or sativa strains are even a real thing and what metrics would even be used to determine if a strain is sativa or indica. Your better off picking a strain you like instead of choosing something based on it being indica or sativa because you could have two different sativa strains that have completely different effects. A strain profile is made up of mainly cannabinoids and terpenes, theoretically if you had two concentrates that have the exact same ratio of cannabinoids and terpenes they should both have the same or at least similar effect and taste/smell. Distillate only contains 1 cannabinoid which is THC terpenes are added to the distillate to give it the taste and smell of the strain and some people claim terpenes also effect the high but you will never have an exact replica of the strain using just distillate and terpenes as your missing many of the other cannabinoids that make up the strain. Live resin on the other hand is full spectrum so it contains THC as well as many other cannabinoids like CBD CBN etc. live resin also contains the natural terpenes found in the bud. Every live resin strain will contain a different amount of cannabinoids and terpenes so they should all give you a different high and taste. I hope that helped you a bit mate. There’s also other things to take into consideration like the type of extractions used to remove the cannabinoids or terpenes from the buds, but it’s a bit too complex to explain in a short post
…
I would avoid anyone who claims or suggest they are doctors in their name to sell you shit.
Just use honest vendors and stay clear of the ones claiming they're doctors and have dispensary products. They are all lies and the tests shown are bs i tested their carts and came back with harmful chemicals. Will be posting photos to their pages soon
It's more so to do with you're choice of strain, if you're an indica person , sativa etc.
basically same effects with all distillate.
basically same effects with all distillate.
so it realistically makes no difference which distillate strain you pick in terms of effects, what about 50/50 live resin carts / 100% live resin?
I totally disagree.
Buy a Mimosa disty & a Unicorn 🦄 Piss disty from Canadian Imports and tell me those effects are the same. Nooooo Way Jose! 🤠

The only distillate I have had that has ever been different is from Canadian Imports. They used to stock full weed flower distillate, not the stuff that has been converted from CBD isolate.

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can help!!!
I got an ear infection a week ago and was given antibiotics, I've just finished the course and have developed tinnitus. It's driving me mad as I can't sleep. I've been smoking loads at night trying to get some sleep but it's not working. I was hoping one of you legends could help with some adivce on what to do??
Thanks in advance doobiee

Hi Doobiee
I have had severe tinnitus since 2013. F'ing nightmare for sleep! I am on prescription cannabis pastilles which are great, and smoke (strong) dispensary packs, which help during evening. So best advice would be to try edible gummies to start, 50mg before bed. And source flower for smoking with sleep properties/terpenes. You can have insomnia added to your care summary record with your doctor and this will allow access to prescription cannabis products which are more appropriate for your condition, and work well! Best of luck to you, and I hope you find some help.

Tinnitus sufferer here as well. Get migraines to boot so almost a full house!
Luckily the migraines are rare but they can be severely debilitating.
The tinnitus I get because I used to DJ in clubs/raves/gigs back in the day.
Mine comes and goes and can be non existent or really loud.
Smoking can make the sound worse but it helps in a weird way.
I play ambient music on ear buds helps.
That’s the only tip I have. Don’t take anything else for it either….

Try playing rain sounds or white/brown noise when you go to bed, doesn’t have to be loud but it can take your concentration away from the tinnitus, that’s always the key I’ve found.
Also agree that getting totally mashed helps as well!!!

I must admit most cannabis makes my tinnitus symptoms worse but I have to weigh that up against it helping with sleep.
White noise really helps either through ear buds or background through a speaker.
CBT through the GP can help, you can't change the noise but can alter how you think about it.
I usually go for an indica live resin cart, mainly because I enjoy getting stoned rather than to help with tinnitus.

Hey biggas,
Recently decided to come off of my ssri (citalopram) starting to get brain zaps. Any advice or coping mechanisms anyone has found would be greatly appreciated.

Are you male or female? There are some wonderful natural supplements which actually contain Siberian ginseng as one of their 5 ingredients, they are specifically targeted at women but men can take them as well, they balance hormones mainly and you’d be surprised how many things they help with.
It\s not primarily aimed at women ask any Hollistic or alt doctor. . They balance your whole system not just hormones. .
According to studies, Siberian Ginseng for men may also help increase testosterone levels, and enhance physical and mental health (AKA stops depression. happy pills) Use that and creatine in snalll doses for health look into creatine for depression and over all mens health and u will never need a ssri ever again my friend
Medis just aim it at woman . not in generally aimed at females.

sorry to hear this, its a tough transition with potentially sever consequences. are you reducing gradually?
Hey. Recently stopped sertraline myself - turned me into a zombie. I got the withdrawal brain zaps - first few weeks is horrible, with the emotional control of a toddler but after about a month, I felt more in control and less zappy.
Ngl I smoked my way through the withdrawal, probably not what a GP would recommend 😆 - definitely helped, got a big ol bag of my fave stinky stardawg, put on all my favourite films and easy comfort food, battened down the hatches through that turmoil feeling. Warned my work mates that I might be more blunt than normal cos of it lol. Took some days off work when it was really bad. Worst of it was definitely the first month then felt noticeably more myself again.
Probs about 2 months after I feel normalish (whatever the fuck that is!) and less zombie like. I guess the length of withdrawal depends on the person and how long you been taking em for. The best advice I have been given in this subject is please be kind to yourself and be patient with yourself, you are undergoing some changes to brain chemistry - ain’t no escaping that. But it will pass. Good luck pal, fingers and toes crossed for ya

Glad to hear someone else coming off! I’m currently coming off Effexor and it’s been hellish. I’ve been using a lot of Indica and also literally allocating a “nap time” like a toddler just to lie down in the dark for 30-40 minutes with no stimuli - really helped. Vitamin D as well as Omega 3, Magnesium L-Threonate and B-12 every day reaaaally makes a difference. 🤞
Evil stuff, friend of mine was given it by a doctor. Ruined him as a human, he has no emotion to anything his life is collapsing around him and he doesn't care.

Vaping tips you wish you'd realized sooner?

Vaping tips you wish you'd realized sooner?
I wanna hear your dry herb vaping tips. Mine are -
1. Don't put the mouth piece into the side of your mouth like a joint, put it in the middle (like a straw). Took ages to unlearn that habit.
2. I would constantly grind up too much/not enough. You can use dosing capsules to measure out weed before grinding.
3. Give the dosing capsule a quick stir before vaping: If stuff falls out, then it is likely overpacked and won't vape well. To fix, pack the remainder to the level you want, before (carefully!) adding more back in.
#3 solved the mystery of why the same bud would vape really differently, lol.

Abv is totally worth saving.
It’s already decarbed, just save a cup then throw it in a rice cooker with a pack of butter or coconut oil for a couple of hours, then use it to make edibles- something with spices will help with flavour. Total knockout treats from something otherwise destined for the bin.

Always invest in custom stems. Total game changer compared to the crap OG that come with the likes of the TM2 and Mighty…
Do you by any chance own a mighty?
My vaping tips are what works for one doesn't always work for another and that comparing temperatures across device styles/manufacturers is a waste of time
🤔 Probably not so much a tip mind ...
Different styles of vapes will have different extraction signatures and be capable of different loads. A bong smoker smoker might find a session vape too slow to release the goodies and not enough whammy, where are someone who threatens a joint from the other side of the room with a few leaves shouldn't end up on a desktop one hit wonder setup... Well not unless they want to lose a few hours and consume their own body weight in munchies

Loads of really good advice. But seriusly you could lose your home and the council refuse. Yes getting a pescrpition is expensensive, absolutly yes should it be easy etc but I will remind you there rules. At the moment dociety says let them be if they have a perscrption - so best get one. Then if the sht hits the fan you have a arguement. It think it will cost you but not have a home will cost years of your life.
It is shit but until there is some progression in our law it is what it is.
In the smell side some weed varities smell is easir to mask. Nobody ever turns when I am smoking blueberry or mimosa

Dealing With Insomnia
May be a long shot but figured I'd ask here anyway...
Any biggas know ways to manage or deal with insomnia without the use of sleeping tablets or weed?
I primarily rely on weed to help me get a decent night's sleep but currently don't have any and my insomnia is acting up again. Only getting 3-4 hours of restless sleep on average after staying awake 36+ hours at a time most days. I'm finding it hard to focus on things and just generally groggy altogether, which in turn is making me irritable.
Trying to find some alternative solutions for times like now when weed isn't an option.. I'm also not wanting to rely on weed as heavily to sleep.
Thanks :)

Getting on the Unicorn train - which vape is best to pair with it?
As I continue my journey experimenting with distillates and live resin, the noise around the mighty unicorn is unreal so have to try it.
I’ve only ever used disposables before, can I get some recommendations on what device I should be using?
I prefer to buy quality so I don’t need to re-buy but not necessarily premium for the sake of it.
Any help appreciated!

crypto issues...
my crypto exchange 'paybis' isn't working atm due to UK compliance. Paypal also suspended. Tried to get on coinjar but they've blocked my payment and are asking lots of questions about the transaction. Like what are the goods? Anybody know anything about this...?
What do you mean by not working? I had an issue starting this weekend of not being able to buy crypto from them into my Paybis wallet - that option was disabled. Got round it by buying on kraken and transferring into Paybis. No problems transferring from Paybis wallet to Transaxe.
don't worry too much ... it's a crypto issue and not u ... same with me .. I was paybis until changes... I use moonpay now very easy, similar to paybis and LB friendly... g/luck

Cannabis survival kit for SNRI withdrawals?
I’ve been on SSRIs for 10 years, recently just did an 8 month stint on Effexor/Venlafaxine which gave me psychosis and i’m finally now off completely and the withdrawal syndrome is baaaaad. Mentally i’m doing really good, but feels like my body is rotting from the inside out every time i move. I make a pretty strong RSO tea at night and avoiding sativa, but do you have any recommendations for STRONG body highs or sedating effects as physically it’s like i have snakes in my limbs. Thanks in advance all :)
Chat to Druids Magic about their imminent harvest.
The Sleepy Joe is wonderfully sedating and the Umme will take all your cares away. You can read about them on the Anesia Seeds website…

Skywalker gives me a really nice body high. Just make sure you've eaten 20 minutes unless you don't mind the munchies 😜
Good shout, I have enjoyed the skywalker i’ve tried 🙏 Do you have any you recommend from here?
Any strain that is from the Blueberry family does this trick for me, really helps me relax and just zaps any tension or worry away. My fav strain from the family is Blueberry Muffin, tastes how it sounds and has such a nice high.

Easy app for sending bitcoin
Probably a question that gets asked a lot but what is an app I can easily set up to send bitcoin. I have a few buys because I have done it in other ways before but I would just like a simple solution because with most of these apps it doesn't let me send anything even when I verify my Id.
It probably makes a difference what country you're in? I'm in the UK and have the Blockchain app. I found it the easiest to set up, you need the usual photo id, but you can have your wallet on the app as well as buy bitcoin, and then send it, all from the same app. I've found it really simple and straightforward to use. I'd never used bitcoin before setting up my account a few weeks ago, and have successfully used it to make 5 purchases on here since.
Yeah I ended up going for that one purely because it was instant verication and yeah very straightforward in general. I can't wrap my head around most of this crypto language
coincorner - send them a passport or driving licence - no KYC i am using these from now on.
can also deposit direct from your bank account and send payments direct to lb when ordering.

Now that could be advenutre! I struggle to begin with how you'd infuse it. The rub maybe?
Yeah just classic hard boiled sweets. Mints, pear drops that kind of thing.
I’ve had issues with some gummies get a little gooey when left somewhere warm.
Also it’d be nice if they were individually wrapped and made with Rso for that full entourage effect

I want something that has the same effect as the Mr Moxie mints that I can get in the US. Seems like mostly sativa but doesn’t wig me out as much as a pure sativa tincture does
What is the diffrence between shatter infused eddibles vs RSO eddibles. Dose one have a different effect then the other. Apologies for the dumb question but I am a noob on eddibles and just starting out on them with 10mg.
It essentially comes down to how they are turned into concentrate form.
Shatter is made with Butane, removing a lot of the terpenes and cannabinoids, giving a more potent THC concentrate than RSO.
RSO is made using alcohol to reduce it, but it retains more of the others, giving what you'll see people calling a "Full Spectrum High".
RSO being a concentrate is still very high in THC, around 60%. Shatter is around 80%.

Adding D9 distillate to the question. Which would you say has an all round better high. I see a lot of eddible gummies on here which are infused with shatter.

Shroom ID
Hi all,
I need your help - I got sent some shrooms today which were supposed to be APE but aren't. Seller isn't sure what they sent, so I need help in IDing these. Can anyone help? I'm guessing either golden teachers or trinity caps.
Thank you 🙏

Could be Ape Reverts (more stable than apes). Could also be almost any other cube. Growing conditions affect the look way more than strain.

SSRI withdrawal and brain zaps

SSRI withdrawal and brain zaps
Wondered if anybody else has experienced brain zaps from SSRI withdrawal (as well as feeling all out weird AF) and am after any recommendations on lessening this or just making it a bit more bearable. Also wondered if smoking weed would make it worse or not and interested to hear other peoples experience in general on this. Had been taking sertraline for a year before this. Cheers :)
Was on citalopram for about five years…a bit too long.
I came off them last year and the brain zap was brutal, felt like I’d been switched off and back on again in a flash. Not a nice feeling but knew about it beforehand.
It lasted about two months, glad I came off them. Now it’s just meditation and yoga and definitely more stoned as well lol.
Good luck you’ll get there…

Apex was on all manner of those ssris, honestly for me made me a shadow of my real self.
Coming off was horrible and hard but once done (with docs advice / support). I find easier to manage now with just smoke

Cheers bud - good to hear you got through it. Yeah man I just felt numb - not angry or sad, just void of emotion like a robot, that’s no life.
Cheers for sharing, much appreciated - nice to hear a story from the other side, definitely gonna go easy on myself the next few months :)
Hiya H4yst4ck 🙂
Please see this audiobook 'Niacin: the real story' on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Niacin-Story-Wonderful-Healing-Properties/dp/1591202752
It details how Niacin has been used in orthomolecular medicine in treating mental health issues with nothing short of astonishing results.
And see this study on the protective qualities of Manganese bisgylcinate during cessation of certain pharmaceuticals, published in the journal of orthomolecular medicine.
https://isom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/JOM_1976_05_1_02_Manganese_and_Niacin_in_the_Treatment_of_Drug-.pdf
Both of these are naturally occurring nutritional substances that the body already uses and collects via food.

I quit sertraline in december and it was rlly tough. The brain zaps were so bad at night when I was trying to sleep. It does get better and I don't regret coming off it. Cannabis has fully replaced it (for anxiety, depression, low motivation). Good luck bigga, there is light at the end of the tunnel!!
Cheers bud for the kind msg. So good to hear you got through it ok. Yep brain zaps making me feel jolty as fuck but really reassuring to hear from another’s experience that it will get better.
I've taken SSRIs during 3 different periods of my life and every time I stop taking them I have brain zaps! For me, cannabis makes things a little worse, but nothing unbearable. The good feeling it produces surpasses the bad, by far! The worst part of the zaps happened in the fist week. After that it becomes much less frequent and it eventually disappears completely.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Send photo using chat
Is there any way to attach a photo when sending/replying to a ‘chat’? And I don’t mean within a topic, I know you can do that. I mean a PM?
Like tomlittle said I dont think you can because it would be open to abuse but you could maybe update a recent review and add the pic there for whoever to see, then remove it after👊🏻
I think it's not possible as you could send all sorts of things in a picture PM'd. E.g. a picture of the address of an off site shop.
Interesting. I can imagine anything like that on the topic wall would be flagged by the borgs. However, I’m under the impression borgs can also see our PM’s otherwise anybody could privately talk about ***** (insert any illegal activity)?
I just want to send a vendor a picture rather than post it on the open topics.
I just want to send a vendor a picture rather than post it on the open topics.
I had the same issue a fair while ago and needed to send a vendor a pic of what i'd received that was short. Ended up being resolved anyway without the picture.
It's easy to scan all the text in PMs before they're sent for keywords to flag, but images are harder. Although AI is now able to read a lot of text in images.
You could make it your profile picture for a small time while in comms with the vendor?

Yeah profile picture maybe! Yeah I’m in an amicable FYI situation right now. Anger leads to topic posting but no where near that! Cheers:)
Hope you get sorted mate!
I'll keep a tab open with your profile page and keep refreshing it all day in the hopes of seeing what you've been ordering you naughty boy lol

Ha! No I’m not going to do that. Have I created some intrigue? Let’s nip this in the bud, stop the speculation, it’s nothing, forget about it, all I’ll say is it is something I haven’t ordered… 😉
😂 yes I want to show them they don’t work. In the picture you can see where I’m trying to push the pill but it gets very sore… wait, do you swallow those pills? 😳

Mate I would not risk it in Dubai. Seriously if you can't go without don't go. They don't mess about with cautions, are highly suspicious and people will grass you up without a second thought. Don't risk decades in jail just for a smoke. Personally I don't go anywhere I can't smoke reasonably safely or a quick bribe won't get you of trouble.
dubai has started to ease out of the cannabis hate. no more jail time, they're justing grabbing it and leaving you alone.
It's PR. The Emirates is a deeply Conservative place. They want to appear more Liberal, but attitudes are religiously linked and remain very hard-line. In Saudi Arabia (different example), women can drive now (but most don't as it's frowned apon). What is reported in the media doesn't reflect reality.
Thing is , you only need to get caught once in SA, to cause irreparable damage to your entire life. Good luck and hope you don’t get caught!
Do not mess about there.. I was in the police prison for 7 day after I fucked up... It cost $90K to pay them off and get my passport back, while i was in the holding police prison there were red jackets that were all looking at 25 year minimum for class A's.
They even had 13-year-old kids in there for having marzipans.
They had this melt from the UK when I was being held who they caught and promised to let go after he helped to capture the rest of his syndicate (a Scouse team) after they finished with him they caught 6 others some just for a ticket and they were all put on the lifers section and he was also told that he was getting life.. The Arabs will promise the earth to get a confession.
They use Israeli spy ware Pegasus that watches for keywords on Whats app etc...
Do not even think about any types of drug taking there 🙏🏽

If you order to your condo then you will probably end up in a free government sponsored condo for the rest of your days.
I’m more than happy to take stealthy products (edibles, carts, caps etc) on my hols, but not there buddy. Not in a million years….
Sod that!
Try smoking some banana peel if you’re desperate instead, you won’t get high but at least you won’t get passed around like a tray of cakes in prison.
You can have your blood and urine tested if they suspect you and failing a test counts as possession and a likely spot of bird!

To reiterate, it seems I'm the only one here who actually did time in Dubai prison for possession with intent to consume. The rules have no changed and there is no more deportation for possession with intent to consume. But if you fuck up in the prosecution and say the stuff wasn't yours or you didn't know , they will charge you with anything from sharing/promotion/selling. Sharing is 5 years. Promotion is 10 years. Selling is 25 years. The quantity of the substance doesn't matter, neither does if it's cannabis or methamphetamine. Cannabis is honestly treated worse than most other drugs.
I did time in 2017 from August to October and I was given a sentence of 3,000 AED fine plus deportation. Trust me guys, getting caught in Dubai with drugs isn't worth it. In case of selling (if you tell at the prosecution that you gave to your friend for 2£, that's selling, you don't need to have 100 sales to be considered a seller) your case moves to the capital city, you will spend anytime from 1 to 2 years to be sentenced during which you get to make one-5 minute call once a week. And for selling the mandatory sentence is 25 years. If you're lucky, you will get out in 9 to 12 years.
I repeat don't order to your address. You cannot feign innocence or say that your friends were playing a prank. For any suspicion of drug use, you will undergo a mandatory drug test (during which you will be put in a room with 20 others in the CID headquarters in Dubai) where you will be treated like shit, slapped, beaten for not answering promptly.

Good Lucyfur77 but I don't think that it's a competition on who has done the most time, just experiences no?
So by reiterating it you mean what?
That you are the Champ Champ of the Dubai prison scene lol
There are so many highly strung people on here that love to cock measure hahaha.

Not at all, all I'm saying is I extensively used the dark net while in Dubai during a time when it was unheard of and also the CIDs there weren't even sure what the substance was when they saw the concentrates, things have changed now. Everybody is tech savvy and know what's what. There maybe high strung people or well endowed bros, but I know Dubai like the back of my hand. I was 31 when I got caught, now 36 and counting.
Just don't. There is no love for Westerners or our drugs in the Emirates. Put your freedom before your smoke.
So many questions arise in my mind from this post..... such as do you like the idea of many years in a middle eastern prison, or have you done any research on the country you are about to visit? All in all a very bad idea. I mean a teacher got put in prison for naming a teddy bear after the prophet Mohammed. They are tolerant of alcohol because they have to be to accommodate a western tourism, but drugs is a go to jail, do not pass go and the FCO won't help you. I've done some smuggling but never to middle east or asian countries. They don't take kindly to it!
DON'T MATE ! I lived there for 31 years (born and raised), got caught with some 2 grams of concentrates, spend 3 months and was deported. I'm one of the lucky ones, I know many who did 5 to 10 years based on their testimony at prosecution. I know a few british guys who are doing 25 years for selling cannabis.
Definitely not worth it, I remember when some radio host had like a crumb of weed on the bottom on his shoe and he got sent to jail, lol.
That's messed up.
I wouldn't want to try what you're asking tbh.

I went there and on a family holiday when I was 17 and if they tested my blood, they would have been charging me with at least 5 drugs offences, phew!
It’s not worth it bro. I am sure chances of being caught are minimal, but trust, just think the impact it would have if you actually got caught (legal costs, family, possibly even from your employer). I recently took an unopened bag of edibles to Spain without an issue, but the stupidity of my actions hit me, ironically, when sitting on my balcony high!
Shhesh. You're brave. I worked there for 3 years. The only thing I dare do out there was a local smoke but it wasn't cannabis. While I was out there an American was arrested a jailed for smoking a joint BEFORE getting on the plane to fly to Dubai. Cannabis in his blood was enough to arrest his for possession.
That would be a crazy idea imo. that part of the world has very strict laws.
If you really really must id check on their law for vaping and have some carts sent
Even then i wouldnt, you can get jailed just for kissing your partner in public lol

Wow I would be really careful. I wouldn’t smoke in the street. I guess it’s best to take edibles.
Fredo (rapper) just got 5 years in jail over there for a lil bit of bud, I'd highly avoid the risk brev
Hi. I have lived on and off in the middle east for the last fifteen years - although I used almost every day I was there, I don't recommend it due to the harshness with which drug users are treated generally. I say generally, because I do know an individual who was caught at Abu Dhabi with half a key of coke and after one month in the holding cells and then local prison (with no charges) he was released and 'told' to leave the country immediately (I.e. not deported). With regards to having it sent to your condo - think again because ALL incoming mail to UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi etc. is scanned!

Edibles vs oil caps expiry
Hey. I don’t really smoke as much as I used to these days. My next purchase I was eyeing up 10mg edibles roughly & oil caps. I probably won’t be tanning them that frequent. I have never had edibles before but I thought I may have read that over time they go bad, especially texture? I am guessing the capsules will last ages? Or am I just better getting myself a disposable vape & use that every now & then?
I think it’s the other way around- oil in caps will degrade faster than most edibles. That said, edibles that are fresh products like cake or cookies will go stale. Gummies in my experience last a really long time.
The high from edibles and carts are very different. Edible highs kick in after 30-40 minutes and last for hours (although some people are very resistant to ingested THC). Vape carts are an instant big hit that fades quite quickly.
So it’s really a question of on what occasion you plan to get high. Also 10mg gummies are cheap enough that you don’t need to worry about shelf life…👍

i have a mate that's 78 and hardly missed a day in his life. very fun and smart dude and always finds the best gear ;)
what do you lot have?
what do you lot have?
My mates Dad. He's late 60s and has always had at least 1 before bed. He ran 2 pubs all his life too. His parents are both amazing people and would do anything for anyone. My mate would often come to Glasto with some stuff his Dad gave him and it was always fire.
Mates old man is 74 and going strong since the glory days of free festivals and hitch-hiking late 60's, early 70's.
An inspiration to us all lol.
I should add, I'm 27 years and counting as a daily user. Here's to the next 27!

I'm 70, blazed since I was 17. Not the oldest on here 8) Grew in the 70s, visited the usual green grow countries. Herb vape only now!
I’ve got a old friend who smokes daily has done since youth! and sells green still. His health isn’t great now because he smokes fags too. He’s 68
this guy claims a record at 96, not sure how long after this article he kept going

Does weed actually make any one feel happy ?

Does weed actually make any one feel happy ?
Weird question but I always see cannabis as being used to improve mood, but I haven’t found a strain that makes me feel happy per say. Relaxed and content but not happy.
Maybe I’m setting the bar to high but the only drug ever that has done this are opiate type ones.
Has any one had a strain or type of bud that does this for them

I have an overactive brain (thanks ADHD!) and weed is great for stopping my thoughts running at 1,000,000 MPH. I wouldn't say it makes me happy per se, but it gives me a much needed mental break from myself, haha.
Although different strains and types can have different effects, cannabis certainly does make me happy. But I do think it also depends on mood, time, place etc as it’s not a panacea. I have certain ‘go to’ products which are pretty reliable even on a really shit day but nothing is 100% guaranteed. All that said, fine tequila makes me happy too! 😊
I've only just discovered the difference between phenotypes of the same strain. I didn't know that seeds from the same parent will grow into plants that have different effects to their siblings. It's quite disappointing really as I've come across a few strains on here that I've really loved but when I've bought another batch of the same strain the effects have not been the same and has lacked those particular effects that i loved.
This is one of many many reason why there's no such thing as a strain for particular effects, or indica sativa etc for effects, i see people talking about it daily on here and it makes me cringe
it's all a nonsense and the quicker we get away from it the quicker we can progress towards helping medicinal patients
and to the OP, no, the price and hassle associated with attaining and consuming this incredible medicine kinda puts a downer on any joy experienced, also knowing i'm having to go through all this hassle and money to smoke mids while the government profits enormously from being the biggest exporter of medical cannabis in the world, whilst also deeming it illegal for anyone else in the country to do so.

Mimosa, gorilla zkittlez, tropical runtz, gorilla glue, Hindu Kush mate looks a lot but I only get small amounts as I do t use a lot at a time
The only drug I've ever felt true happiness on is mushrooms, but that happiness was from my spirit not from dopamine. I do like weed euphoria though, especially with alcohol
I usually just feel relaxed, but after a T-break I usually get euphoria the next 2-3 times I use it.
You have hit the nail on the head, when I get a new strain it’s like a new drug but quickly it all goes into relaxation

Would you rather be stressed or bored?
This is a great question for a canna user.
I found myself in my last job working solely to smoke which is kinda sad and which probably gave me the courage to quit that job.
When you smoke you're gonna suffer stress, and as a canna user without your fav hobby you're likely to get 'bored' (not a word i'm a fan of as we're here on this earth such a short time).
Users that don't get stressed often cause they always have enough are likely to suffer it in other ways like a vendor always watching their back or biggas with a £200 - £400 weekly habit are likely to feel it in their bank balance.
I'd prefer stress to answer the question tho, and it's not gonna be till this country changes it's views dramatically in regards to canna use that this stress will likely subside.
I'm finally gonna make a purchase beginning of week after a big break and am excited for that, a little nervous too i guess.👊❤️

I'm glad I'm on the bottom end of the weekly habit list. Makes me feel slightly less stressed!
in my experience boredom typically leads to stress anyway. and being queer is stressful enough despite what other people on this thread seem to think
i was married (to a bird) for years, but after she died i ended up with a boyfriend. having seen both sides, i can confirm that being queer can indeed be quite stressful. it is mostly bigotry that's the cause, but honestly just having two guys in a relationship together is quite a lot of it. i never once felt like punching my wife, but this cunt... ;) p.s. just read all the comments there is some homophobia on here isn't there? stoners all feeling bad about wanking over tranny porn?
Having to wait 3+ years for healthcare whilst the ignorant and the bigoted shit the bed daily over your very existence. I see you friend. Hope you're doing ok <3
thank you friend. gets hard some days but knowing there's people in my corner always helps. you're good people
My job, at times, can be incredibly stressful to the point that I and others have often been close to tears due to the pressure, but it's not possible to stop. Newer people sometimes complain that they have nothing to do at times as they're yet to realise that that's the perk for the times that things are relentless and you spend hours desperate to pee.
So I'll go with bored, as it's probably less likely to take years off my life. Plus, as people have said, you can (almost) always find something to do if you really look.
So I'll go with bored, as it's probably less likely to take years off my life. Plus, as people have said, you can (almost) always find something to do if you really look.
h, the age-old question: Would you rather be stressed or bored? Let's take a humorous approach and explore the amusing side of these two less-than-desirable options.
In the red corner, we have Stress! Stress, the eternal companion that keeps you on your toes and your heart racing like a caffeinated squirrel. It's the feeling of having a thousand tabs open in your mind, all marked as "URGENT." With stress, you get to experience the thrill of constantly juggling deadlines, responsibilities, and expectations. It's like participating in a chaotic dance where your feet keep tripping over your own to-do list. Oh, the adrenaline rush of stress, keeping you awake at night and making your hair stand on end! Who needs sleep, right?
And in the blue corner, we have Boredom! Boredom, the mischievous villain that slowly sucks the life out of every moment, leaving you questioning your existence like a philosophical sloth. With boredom, time stretches out like a never-ending road trip with no entertaining sights or decent snacks. You find yourself staring at the wall, counting the specks of dust, and contemplating the meaning of life while contemplating whether to order takeout for the fourth time this week. Oh, the excitement of boredom, where even the most mundane activities become a welcome distraction from the abyss of nothingness!
Now, let's consider the pros and cons. Stress may provide you with a surge of motivation and urgency, but it also brings sleepless nights, frazzled nerves, and the tendency to resemble a human tornado. Boredom, on the other hand, may seem like a peaceful respite at first, but it can quickly turn your brain into a sluggish blob yearning for stimulation, leaving you contemplating outrageous activities like rearranging your sock drawer by color, size, and fabric composition.
So, which one is the lesser evil? Well, my friend, that's entirely up to you! Both stress and boredom have their unique quirks and challenges. Ultimately, finding a balance between excitement and relaxation is the key. So, when life presents you with the choice of stress or boredom, remember to take a deep breath, find some humor in the situation, and perhaps indulge in a silly dance or a random bout of karaoke to keep your spirits high. After all, laughter is the best stress reliever and boredom buster!

If it’s permanently stressed or permanently bored then either one is a horrible reality, I’d rather be gay

LSD/ Mushroom mash up
Sorry to bug you guys again so soon, but I really want to know about this quite quickly. I've heard that this mix is amazing, but some conflicting information - that it's a bit of a no, no. Candy flipping is obviously a thing and I've seen mention of 'jedi flipping', which I understand is lucy, shrooms and ecstasy, but nothing on Lucy/ shroom hybrid tripping. I find that in therapeutic terms mushrooms help bring old, forgotten but really significant stuff to consciousness that's finally ready to be processed, but Lucy helps me figure things out and think better. I was hoping to possibly get both benefits by mixing the two during assisted therapy. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts? I was wondering if one substance would do something weird to the other..how synergistic they might be together.., if one might potentiate the other..Best ratio of one thing to the other, stuff like that.
Ideally i would like the combined strength of the trip to be the equivalent of 180 ųg of Lucy or about 3.5- 4g of dried mushrooms. Thank you , thank you 🙏😘

Hey that’s a great question, I’ve never mixed the 2 before, however I have candy flipped with a small dose of Lucy but that was purely recreational rather than for any therapeutic reason. I hadn’t heard of jedi flipping until i read this post but it’s an interesting idea to add psilocybin into candy flipping.
With shrooms and lucy, they’re both serotonin binders so i’m assuming taking both together would mute the effects of each, but i’ve got no anecdotal evidence, it’s just an educated guess. Taking multiple serotonergics could potentially be dangerous and lead to serotonin syndrome but i think that’s more for things like combining ecstasy and ssri’s, that releases a lot more serotonin.
With doses and ratios, I don’t have a scooby i’m afraid.
Again everything above is just guess work though so take it with a pinch of salt. Hopefully another bigga can help more and give some dosing guidelines.
Have you tried messaging any of the shroom or lucy vendors? As they might have tried mixing both or know people who have or maybe even had the same question in the past from other biggaz. Hope some of this helps 😊

Id love to know the answer to this too, a combo of the two is called Soul Bombing and there's really only anecdotal evidence out there that i can find about methods and effects, seems like good advice might be to go steady with the doseage on the first one, hopefully there is a psychonaut among us here on LB that has first hand experience that can help!!
I was thinking about this yesterday, but with micro-dosing as opposed to tripping.
Is it possible to alternate between shrooms and lsd, in such a way that you negate most of the tolerance build up, whilst maintaining the medicinal benefits from both. That’s a question I intend to answer.
Just need the shrooms and lsd now lol.

Something I'd wondered myself ShaunyBoy, and what I understand after researching and asking on here is that, because it's the same receptor things that get used ( I can't elaborate on that any better I'm afraid), but basically to all intents a purposes the two substances are the same in some kind of way that means you couldn't do Lucy on your shroom days off and vice versa.
Clever people go into it in more detail in my post on - shrooms, lsd, meds. Lots of helpful info on there :) People mention amanita ( don't know how to spell it ), but apparently that's another option for microdosing. I do, unfortunately, think you need to take two days off between any psychedelic microdosing. I believe they used the words 'cross tolerance '. But this is just what I have learnt. Best of luck with it :) 💥🦭

Ah I figured that would be the case when I heard they use the same receptor. It’s a pity, but perhaps it’s still possible to alternate them for different medicinal effects? I’ll give your post a look.
And yes mate - Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) - the Super Mario mushroom. Supposedly if taken correctly, it’s a powerful nootropic.

Do it!
I love mixing shrooms and lsd, we’ve always called it hippy flipping, with or without weed. Maybe a few light beers (I don’t drink anymore, but a good beer when your just being amazed by the world is glorious)
Many people wax lyrical about the differences between lsd and shrooms, I’m not sure I could point any differences out, apart from the duration of the trip. I think shrooms make me happier with a bit of after glow for a few weeks afterwards.
Last time I did this I started with a 250ug tab then reupped later with a150ug followed by another 150ug. Over maybe 12 hours. All during this eating a few shrooms every couple of hours. Ending on probably around 15g of shrooms. This part was the exception rather than the rule.
I have more experience using shrooms to just release emotional stuffs. But not a mix of the 2 for the same, only recreational use of the combination.
Depending on the strength of your shrooms and how you like to feel. For me 4g is quite a bit in one go, not a social dose more a chill in need, or on couch or in bath, I can’t do anything massively productive, but great for catharsis.
I think 180ug is great for just chilling.
If you have 180ug of lsd, sand 4g of shrooms. I’d suggest taking the lsd (maybe smoke a tiny bit of weed if you’re having anxiety)
Then when you’re feeling settled in the trip, after say 1 to 2 hours start thinking about taking a bit of shrooms. If you’re after major catharsis, chomp em all, if not maybe do 1 to 2 g then give it 2 or so hours before deciding if you want more shrooms.
Ps have smokables and shrooms proportioned or treasured before you start. I’ve spilt and lost so many things when fiddling while high.
Good luck. Let us know hours or goes

Dynavap decisions
Is the newer (M+) worth the extra coin over the 2021 model?
For context I have a solo 2 and a table top water setup. I really like the solo 2, but I would like something a bit harder hitting for when I’m not in the mood to ‘sip’.
Thanks in advance

I've been using the 2021M for over a year now and love it in my vape rotation (I have a solo2 collecting dust; I may give it another whirl now you've mentioned it!) I have tried a friend's M+ only a couple of times and is very similar in feel, hit, flavour profile, heat up/cool down, etc.
Looks wise, I prefer my M but is that because it is my first and long used Dynavap? The M is costing around £55, if you shop around a bit and the M+ is around £80. If cost is the only issue, then go with the 2021M.
The one hit extraction with the M+ is a selling point but having tried it I found it a bit hit and miss and bordered very close to combustion (but then the important thing to remember about anything "Dynavap" is the learning curve and perseverance) but if I never used the one hit method ever again it wouldn't bother me!
Tips: A dynastash is handy or at least somewhere/something to place your hot M (especially metal and/or with a magnet to help keep in place and help cool it down).
With your first attempt and using a jet lighter, try heating the M first WITHOUT any herb so you can get used to the length of time for the heat up "click" and the cool down "click" - saves wasting/combusting weed when you invariably say to yourself "I've been heating this for over a minute now, where's the click... I thought it took about 20-30 secs... what's that burning smell?... Have I missed the click?... why are plumes of smoke billowing from my vape?"
Cheers :)

Sound advice. All of my caps do 2 clicks. Some faster than others. You definitely have to feel out the cap, and how to heat it. Before even showing it some weed. They all seem subtly different to each other.
You will combust. And if that happens. You need to immediately clean the Dyna. Trust me.
It’s the second click. Even if the first and second clicks are really close together. The first click tends to be quite feint. The second one lets you know it’s time. And if you are like me. I go a bit over. Always. I do not respect the click. Been using the Dyna over a year now. Have combusted probably 10 times. You do learn from your mistakes 🤣 - dial up. When you try and be cocky with it. Nope. Horrible.
Still gets you high. So 🤷♂️
Simrell FMJ/Armored Cap makes it a lot easier to get consistent hits. But that’s going past the click. Balancing on the high-wire. Tryna get that perfect single hit. Plus the hotter caps are another learning curve.
Which when you do dial in. Makes all that perseverance worthwhile.
I found a UFO Induction heater removed a fair amount of pain and is very easy to dial in. Mine still works and has been pretty great.
Others have had them and they break within minutes. Not great QC.
It’s a different experience to the torch. I prefer the buzz from the torch. It seems more efficient
If you like everything up front in one go. But the convenience of the Induction Heater - man. I prefer it. The first hit really tells you what the terps are saying. And I love those flavours. The second one doesn’t taste as good, but gets you blasted.
A very versatile piece of kit. You really can dial them right in, to whatever you want out of them.
Get a couple. It’s kinda nice to do two bowls in a row 😂
I’ve just jinxed it haven’t I 🤦 My UFO is going to break like everyone else’s has.

The only IH I have used is the YLL 2.0 only 4 months in but so far I can really highly recommend if your ufo breaks!
I’ve done the 2 dynas back to back side by side both with hash. Felt like I was conducting a stoned orchestra. 🤪
You can even get a special double cap adapter thingy to fit one dyna. Sort of modern version of a cross joint!

Combusted the first one and yeh frustrating, but also agreed in that it still did the job!
IH will be the next step 💰

The M+ has a slightly larger volume and some say it’s easier to get 1 hit extractions.
My M+ is not a £40 improvement though so I’d wait until they come down in price a bit.

Thank you for the advise both. I went for the m+ and I do get the hype completely. Thanks for the advise on somewhere to put it once hot - a problem I tried to navigate when it had been heated and I was heading towards the moon 🤪
If I want to sit and enjoy terps SOLO 2 is the one, but for a mixture of ease and speed Dynavap wins!

I just use the little wooden cases you can get for them. £20 or something. They work brilliantly for somewhere to put the hot Dyna
Glad you are enjoying it. You may be satisfied now but if you get an itch to buy another Dynavap I recommend the WoodWynd, I got about £30+ knocked off on Black Friday and that sealed the deal.
I love vaping hash in both, too.
Cheers :)

Advice on effective use of my collected vape cleanings?
I've had a Pax vape for a few months now, and over that time it's probably had 3-4 zips of good British bud pass through it. I've been cleaning it every day, then leaving the brush overnight to see how much collects on the end by morning. After days, weeks, and now months, I may still not have very much, but after making the effort to collect it up, I now want to consume what little I have gathered in the most effective way that's practical.
Most of the hard work was done via a variation on the dab tool technique, using plastic instead of greaseproof paper to collect up all the scrapings and so forth. However now I've managed to collect a little lump, I realised I don't know what to do with it! I stopped smoking a while ago, but regardless I wouldn't want to just put this in a joint.
I don't know how strong it is, as the consistency is similar to the nasty tasting black tarry stuff we used to scrape out of pipes (mostly rocky) as youngsters. However as this has come from pure good weed, I figured it should taste better even if it's not strong, and ideally I'd like to consume it in a way that lets me know how strong it is.
Although I don't normally smoke now, I'd still be happy trying a one-hit type smoking technique with this stuff. The biggest problem is the consistency, as it's too soft and oily for buckets or a normal hash pipe, even using the crack pipe technique of layering cigarette ash underneath.
There are two methods I think might work, but both come with problems. Hot knives were an obvious solution, but I've only ever done them with old school rocky so don't know how well they work with this stuff. Also I'm not 14 years old, plus oven hobs have changed a bit and I wouldn't know where to put the knife on mine (convection)!
There is one method that should theoretically work, but whether it works easily or effectively is another matter: it was actually the colour and consistency which gave me the idea of trying to chase a beetle of this on some tin foil. It'll look real bad if I'm caught, but that element aside, isn't it basically the same principle as those cheap little glass American style crack pipes? Effectively the foil with the oily resin stuff on it works like the glass bowl, as a solid platform you can apply heat to. Then just use a properly folded (so when unfolded any deposits are easily accessed) foil tube to inhale through, basically creating a separate stem that can follow the hot smoke across the foil, although that might be too narrow if there's loads of smoke, so I'd also try a funnel with a wide spout or something similar.
I'm looking to use this up now partly as I'm intending to buy a better vape - most likely a Tinymight 2 - which I doubt will leave as much over, but if it does I'll want to keep that seperate. I know some vapes (including the Pax's big brother) come with accessories for hash, concentrates and so forth, but I never read much about owners actually using them in all the posts and reviews about dry herb vapes.
One reason I'm taking this long to buy a new better vape is because no one seems keen to give me a deal. One place offered me a free accessory, but even after reading the description I didn't have a clue what it was for. If I'm forced into paying retail, I'll probably start a new topic here asking for advice about which of the many accessories are likely to be useful for me, but if anyone can suggest UK Tinymight sellers worth approaching for either a discount or some *useful* accessories, I'd be very grateful!
TL;DR - what's the best way to get the maximum effect from my little lump of vape scrapings? Preferably without having to smoke tobacco, or buy something I'll probably only use once.

Reddit response would be: Boof it! 🤭
Biggy response: Eat it!👌
If you are planning on doing more solids in the future the Mighty is a more versatile choice than the TM2. Also there are plenty of deals on used but pristine TM2’s….👍

What a fucking D'oh! moment, it never occurred to me it would already be decarbed. That's great news, but it can't weigh much and my edible tolerance is huge. Still, better than the other option there!
I don't plan on trying solids, and if the Mighty is the fugly black plastic thing then I'm really not interested. The TM2 looks so cleverly designed, and notable on this topic - the design looks especially fast and easy to clean, unlike so much of the competition.
Where are these used vape deals? I checked a few places with little luck, and the idea of a new, warrantied model is very appealing to me. I'm disappointed they've shortened the warranty to 3 years now, but if they were originally happy with 10 for the same thing - that's pretty reassuring. I'm kinda surprised no one has built a slightly cheaper copy, especially the visual element.
PS - my phone is really slow. If you had $100 to spend on disposable vapes right now, from a reliable (preferably trackable) seller who'll get them out to me by Wednesday latest - what/who/where would you pick?

Thank you, that's extremely kind and very helpful.
I looked at ULC, but 3 x 0.5ml seems very expensive. What don't I understand which justifies that high price?

Partially because you are paying for the kit- the battery. Some 510 carts on their own are cheaper and you provide the kit. Look at Dr.Terpy for the cheapest.
I see what you mean. I've never had the battery to try carts with, otherwise I certainly would give them a go.
I noticed ULC have some 1mls as well. Do you think their regular distillate vapes like these are better than the average D9 disposable on LB?

OK, let’s simplify things amigo, here’s the plan:
Eddys Hashbar has a battery for $8
Canadian Imports has Unicorn 🦄 Piss carts for $26, and others, (and are including a free part fill in 100 orders).
They can both get that to you by Weds if you order now.
🦄🔥🦄🔥🦄….you will thank me! 😉

My method of dealing with dry herb vape residue is 'rinsing' with coconut oil. Because the sticky residue is also a bit oily in nature, it sticks to the coconut oil really well - making a bonus edible. Clean as normal afterwards.

I cant stand the fall and am actually pumped for winter sports. So yeah.
Know that feeling. Lol.
I love all the seasons.. just get a bit fed up towards the end of each of them. 🤷♂️

Would it be right to call the pandemic a season? If yes, then the pandemic, wake me up when the Flower Power era returns!
Any time that it's cold.
Unfortunately I live in the UK so if I were to hibernate, it'll be for the majority of the year, lol

Winter, always cold, gets dark early and snow which looks nice don't get me wrong but just turns into ice or slush after a while
Summer! I love it but hate it at the same time. I'd rather wrap up to keep warm then try and keep cool!
Sleep through summer probably.
Not much going on and it seems with climate change the warmer weather is in Autumn anyway now lol.

I used to avoid thinking about the period after Christmas New Years Eve but a couple of years ago I started to enjoy January's. I enjoy watching people frantically running around at Christmas and how there seems to be a collective mood of laid back workers. And not much can beat that feeling. People come together to help the homeless at Christmas. We just have more sympathy at Christmas and nothing can beat that. Honestly, I look forward to eating healthy in the January period, my brain actually craves fresh health meals and I have a fresher outlook on life in general.
Now I'd like to hibernate through it all equally 😂

Best dry flower vape?

Best dry flower vape?
I'm looking to start vaping my weed again I use to about 10 years ago with a flower mate I think and was never a fan of them. Didn't matter what strain I used always tasted like hay. Just wondering are they a lot better now because I'd love to vape some tasty terps indoors over going outside in -6 right now 😂 any recommendations on one would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I’m by no means an expert having only really experienced the Mighty by Storz and Bickel, but it was a total game changer. Decent terps/flavour, super economical and way more discreet than the old flame and fire.
One question I had, and very curious to know what people think - is that after vaping for about 2 years, I had a pure joint and it completely blew my mind. It felt like I had only been getting 2/3s as stoned on my Pax for years. I've been smoking it/using bongs ever since. I've since read though that it easily gets you as high as smoking it (if you use the right vape properly), and is far more economical of course. Anyway, I don't know how much of this is psychological. I should prob just stump up for the Mighty and go back to vaping, health-wise just seems to be a no-brainer, and you get great flavours too!
I think i’m terms of how stoned you get with a joint vs vaping, it’s kind of like downing pints or having shots vs sipping on your over some time.
With smoking a joint, you’re combusting everything in one go and you’re taking in everything at once, and it’s like downing your drink or having a shot.
with vaping, you take everything in slower and if you’re like me, you temp step up from your lowest temp to your highest temp. With doing that you’re slowing down how much you’re taking in and you get specific terps coming at different temps rather than everything in one go with combusting. Also i use less flower in the vape than a joint so in a joint getting more flower all at once rather than less flower over a session on the vape where you dial in on the terps n temps.
If you’re looking to get blasted off the vape it’s probs best to set it to the highest setting from the beginning and then have a session on it like that, then you’d be getting everything you get from a joint but without combusting.
But i’m no expert in this, i’ve only been vaping since the beginning of Dec, so there might be some inaccuracies in what i’ve said and i’m sure the other biggaz on here can provide a more expert opinion on the vaping 😊

The point about combustion is that of the goodies only THC survives the fire- everything else (CBG, CBN, CBD etc) are destroyed at the point of combustion and replaced with benzene and other carcinogenics. The full spectrum effect is history.
Since CBD naturally calms the effects of THC (in a good way) it will feel like a stronger hit, because it is.
It’s not worth the trade off imo. 🔥=👹

Yeah I’d describe the vaping buzz as more rounded and less intense, for sure. My reaction times go to shit when I smoke a joint (not that they’re very good sober like).
Thanks mate. It is fascinating because of course vaping is a pretty new method compared to 🔥 so all the goodies were not very much known about because they always literally went up in smoke!..
With the research being done these days I think we are going to learn a whole lot more about the complexities of our beloved plant, and all the more reasons for not torching it! 😉

Yeah it’s all so interesting, we’ve had this plant for thousands of years and we’re still discovering and learning sooo many new things about it…
just goes to show how little we know about our weird and wonderful world!

I get this also I'm an evening toker so happy to slowly sip some terps over getting blasted off one shot
Mate, I’ve had a very similar journey over the last 18 months or so. I used the mighty religiously for like 6 months but then all this lovely hash started appearing on here and the cotton bacon method wasn’t doing it for me. So I returned to the flame and boom, back to the old school. I’m back on the mighty now mainly for health and stench prevention purposes haha.
I 100% hear you, I think there’s probably a bunch of factors. I think the buzz from vaping hits at a different vibe from smoking but it varies quite a bit like. Even cleanliness, when I remember to clean it properly it hits differently afterwards. Temperature too of course, if I find some spare time during the day I like a haze at 180-190, after work it’s 210 all the way.

Get a volcano and put as much weed in as you do your joints.
In a mighty I think it’s .2 in a cap, can’t see the full bowl being much more tbh.
I can do a Henry in a big Bertha joint, but would take me 17.5 kegs on the mighty. If I had the lungs and throat to do it, I’d be on my back 😂

You know what, I never bother with the caps. Just whack it in the bowl. Are the caps meant for reloading while traveling aye?
I just find it easier to load up the magazine think it holds 8 or 9 kegs.
Good for travel and fishing 😂

I’ve gone through a load of vapes over the last 10ish years and ive settled on 3 for different purposes in the end… the Mighty for big hits/clouds indoors (and it gets you the most stoned per packed bowl imo), a Pax 2 (still available and cheaper than the newer models but just as efficient) for out and about and ease of use (it doesn’t quite hit as hard as the mighty but it’s fine) and a Dynavap for full flavour smaller hits (if I want to get proper baked with the Dyna, I just pack a few more bowls).
I kinda agree with the other poster who said that they found vaping didn’t get them as high, but I found that you can fix that by taking a reasonable t-break before going over to the vape, or just having a longer vape session…

I started dry herb vaping a couple of months ago and I ended up getting the nectar hex which has been great so far.
If there aren’t any budgetary constraints, the mighty+ and the tiny might 2 are probably the best dry herb vapes around, but ofc they come with a hefty price tag.
Going down a price tier, the crafty+, nectar hex, arizer air max, arizer solo 2, pax 3 are all good options.
For a budget option maybe the xmas v3 pro would be of interest to you.
It’s probably easier to think about the features you’d like and that are most important to you and then you can cross reference that with all the vapes. Things like price, do you want convection or conduction, do you need it to be portable/discreet, do you need usb c charging, do you want a removable and changeable battery, do you want to be able to set the exact temp or do you want something that has built in heat settings. Think it’ll be easier for you to decide what’s best when you know what kind of things you’d prefer and what features are important to you :)

There's tons of good topics about this .I bought a relatively cheap yokan vane vape. After smoking js its a bit of a letdown. There's one topic that always gets attention its this 🤣
I'm thinking of starting vaping again too so been doing a bit of research - I used to use the Pax, which suited my needs and was nice and portable. But I think it's not considered to be the best for flavour. I've heard great things about the Mighty but that's about £300 so for a cheaper option I heard that the Arizer Air Max (£130) is very nice for flavour as it has a glass heating system/glass mouthpiece.
I'm sure there are much more knowledgeable people about this than me though! Would love some recommendations too.

Yeah I did read up about the mighty but can't justify that money right now! I'll take a look at the arizer 👌
Oh and I think that things have for sure improved since the hay daze - even my Pax 2 wasn't too bad, and with the Mighty I'm sure you get amazing flavours; it's probably very good with the Arizer one too.
Really appreciate the input from everyone 🙌 iv got a list of vapes to have a look through now see what fits my budget and needs. Cool to hear the difference between smoking and vaping. I'm all for a different high experience as long as I'm still getting the flavours I love if I feel the need to get blitz I'll just hit the live resin vape cart 🤙 I'm on the road to better smoking I use to mix baccy with my weed 🤦😂

Anything on here good for sleep ? Iv got a ton of strains but they are all either 50/50 hybrid or sativa like leaning strains. None of them help with sleep but are great for everything else
Iv never had an edible and my tolerance is embarrassingly low so I’d be a bit nervous with them and would like to try and stick with flower, if any one can recommend me some in stock now to try I’d appreciate it

Think about getting 3.5g of shrooms, Spaceman has them for 25 bucks.
Take .5 over a week, once everythings done for the day or if you have a day off once you get up.
the levels below actually tripping are incredibly therapeutic, you can take 1g and almost grasp the trip level yet remained grounded in the final therapy level.
Shrooms are more wholesome than canna, not by much granted, the euphoric blissful highs canna does better imo, however if you want a warm fuzzy feeling eminating from your belly, then micro-dosing shrooms can't be beaten.
You can micro-dose and cut down on the smoke easy.

Weed has never helped me sleep, often the oposite. However, Magnesium is the answer, buy some epsom salts and have a bath with them in just before bedtime. Or take a magnesium supplement before bed. I'm 100kg and I take 400mcg of Magnesium Citrate or Orate and I'm away 20 mins later.
I find a good indica before bed really helps me get a decent nights sleep. If it's bud you want then maybe check out The Gentlemen Dealers. They have a decent selection of indica heavy strains in stock - Candy Krush, Grandaddy Purple and Berry Burst are all indica dominant. I have smoked the Berry Burst before, it has quite a unique, earthy taste but provides a decent stone. I hope you find what you're looking for, l also rely on weed for a good nights sleep.
Get yourself a rso syringe mate, a rice grain size bit on a piece of fruit or choc 45 mins before bed.
you will sleep 😂
you will sleep 😂
RSO is a good shout but if your edible tolerance is that low then go with half a grain of rice!…seriously, it’s that strong!😵💫
I’d recommend some pure CBD flower from one of the many legit online shops. Chuck a bunch in with your nighttime smoke. I find it gives a nice sleepy stoney effect when mixed with regular flower. Afghan Hash also tends to give a lovely sleepy, tranquil effect.
RSO mate. I can’t deal with edibles. They knock me out for literal days but have been trying RSO recently and it’s honestly magical stuff.
Go easy and go slow, start with a blob smaller than the size of a grain of rice and work up from there. The ways to take it are endless but the result is always the same, nice and mellow.

Is rso not just like an edible in that it’s the same but I’d just know exactly how much I’m having
I’m a sense yes, being able to accurately measure is a bonus but it’s a full spectrum extract. Distillate, which is most often used for edibles is a lot purer but is basically just pure THC. RSO is an extraction that draws on the whole plant. This gives it all
Manner of promised health benefits but from personal experience I can say with a small steady build up it helps aid deep sleep. It also tastes horrendous so I have no idea how anyone could take too much 😂

If you are happy to try distillate then Unicorn 🦄 Piss from Canadian Imports is blissful knockout juice!…they have it in carts and pens. No operating heavy machinery! 🤤😴
I vape weed due to insomnia. I suffer from idiopathic insomnia and very bad Restless Leg Syndrome which affects my entire body (even during the day during particularly bad bouts). Without weed, I don't sleep. Doctor's solution would be a fuck load of opioids, which I don't want when there's a more natural and safer solution available.
Things I've read/discovered about using weed for sleep:
- Older, slightly drier weed is supposedly better for inducing sleep. Don't ask me why or how, I don't know. And, to be fair, I vape a cheap shake which is a little older and drier and it works wonders.
- Lower dosages work better for sleep. My personal experience also backs this up, higher dosage = buzzed, lower dosage = drowsy. I like to feel like I've had a couple of pints of beer, at that point I sleep well.
- As much as they suck, take regular T-breaks. I do two 2-week T-breaks per year. I get the impression I should actually be doing them slightly more regularly, but it seems to be working for me.
- At the risk of starting a massive argument, there's not much evidence that strain makes much — if any — difference. However, the article I read that said this did concede that different terp profiles might make a difference and that was something that hadn't received much testing.
- Weed-induced sleep isn't as restful as natural sleep, and you probably won't dream while you're under the influence. My goal is to have JUST enough weed to get me through the "danger zone" of the night: 3am-5am. If I wake during that time then I won't get back to sleep, but if I take too much weed I'll be groggy and badly rested by the time the alarm goes off.
Also a second vote from me for magnesium, which is what I used before I discovered weed. It helped me a lot with my sleep, my Restless Leg Syndrome, and also an autoimmune skin condition I've suffered from my entire life. Only problem is it can give you the shits. Different forms of magnesium can be gentler on the stomach but then they're less bio-available and so you have to take more. I also tried a skin-applied alternative one time but it gave me dermatitis so it ended up in the bin (wasn't cheap, either). YMMV. IANAD.

My goal is to have JUST enough weed to get me through the "danger zone" of the night: 3am-5am. If I wake during that time then I won't get back to sleep, but if I take too much weed I'll be groggy and badly rested by the time the alarm goes off.
Also a second vote from me for magnesium, which is what I used before I discovered weed. It helped me a lot with my sleep, my Restless Leg Syndrome, and also an autoimmune skin condition I've suffered from my entire life. Only problem is it can give you the shits. Different forms of magnesium can be gentler on the stomach but then they're less bio-available and so you have to take more. I also tried a skin-applied alternative one time but it gave me dermatitis so it ended up in the bin (wasn't cheap, either). YMMV. IANAD.

Runny d9 distillate carts

Runny d9 distillate carts
Hi all,
I have a question for all biggas?? I transitioned from smoking bud to using carts for the best part of 2 years now, since I found lb, although I haven’t tried everyone’s I have tried a lot and mainly purchase of a couple of trusted vendors.
My most recent order I have decided to try a different vendor, I’ve used them before for hash so as I was restocking on some hash I thought why not get some other carts as they were fairly priced.
Received next day as promised. But as I went to open one to sample, I noticed the liquid being very runny. So usually there’s a lil bubble in the cart, if you turn the cart upside down it would take a few mins for it to get to the bottom. Not this cart this one the air bubble instantly moves from side to side as quick as you can turn it. Like one of the straightening measuring tools.
This had me alarmed as I remember when starting my cart journey I was always told any carts that is not thick. It’s no good. I’m not saying this vendors product is fake. But on the description it does say nothing added. But it dosent seem like it. First time I’ve seen a cart like this. Could some of you fine biggas share some light on this as I’m not sure just to totally write them off or give them a go. (Also messaged the vendor but awaiting reply)
Have a great weekend all. Thanks

No they should not be runny proper distillate is thick. There is the off chance that it’s proper distillate but there’s an excess of terpenes/liquidizer making it thin, however I would recommend to stick to trusted cart vendors in the future. Canadian imports, SENSI MART, Dr extracts and sayno2drugs to name a few.
I wouldn’t smoke that if I were you but if you writing this post after toking it it seems like it’s survivable 😂👍

Looools well I didn’t think I was gonna drop dead. But more long term effects. Anyways, yeah lesson learnt, will stick to my trusted vendors in the future. Thank you my friend.
Yeah I mean 1 cart is unlikely to have a significant impact on any long term effects as that requires a significant accumulation of whatever the contaminant is, it’s all a probabilities game anyway we see plenty of full time smokers who live past 90 and die of something unrelated to smoking and there are also plenty of non smokers who get lung cancer before 60. Not to mention the pollution in London alone exposes you to thousands of toxic and carcinogenic chemicals so yeah I ain’t too bothered 😂 the danger is when people cut carts with things like vitamin E which can have a destructive impact to your lungs in the short term
Yeah I get you bro, I do remember reading in America a lot of people developed lung problems or dying a little while back. It’s just a shame I brought 4 of them and it’s just a waste. Thanks again.
Dispute it mate if you think it’s boof. recently bought 5 carts off Diamond extracts which were unsmokable as the resin was solid and carts were crap so they all had to go in the bin, asked for a replacement but the vendor has gone ghost, was going to suck it up but was advised to dispute on here, in the process of getting the coin back now mate, I think you have 21 days or something but if it’s past that you can speak to the Borgs about raising a late dispute
Good luck mate, only just got my refund today from an order I made over a week ago before he went ghost. Fingers crossed as I saw you spent a fair bit.
Thanks bro, I think I will, I will give the seller the opportunity to explain. But I know I’m not the only person to receive them also. So let’s see what he says.

Advice on my new Mighty…
I’ve just ordered a Black Friday deal of a Mighty vaporiser, and a load of accessories for it. Due to be delivered tomorrow, I’m looking forward, with a healthy slice of trepidation, to stopping smoking joints (30+ years)
Was wondering if anyone could offer me any tips and advice from their experiences on using it! I was hoping I could use hash in the mighty as well tbh, is this feasible?
Any advice greatly received. I’m uber excited to try it out tomo night!!

Awesome choice mate 🤜
I’m sure someone will pop on and tell you about cotton bacon and hash sandwiches 😂
My tips
Make sure you got alcohol for a weekly clean if heavy user as keeps the taste supreme.
Find a temp that works for you. Generally I start all strains at 155 and work up in 7-10 increments to maximise different flavours.
For maximum potency and effect though I find you have to go to 181. If I do this I do it from the start.
Also, in out of weed atm so had to smoke the pre vaped and it actually tasted ok 😂
Enjoy mate

Start off at 198 for maximum effect. Remember doing this when I first had the Mighty, it did not end well 🤢🤮

Thank you Apex, sage advice. I’d forgotten to source some alcohol actually, will sort tomo 👍
I surprised at your temps apex. Everyone is different and to be honest I used my mates mighty first and he temp stepped from 180 190 finishing at 200. Which I do now.
Loads are mate, people tell me they get nothing from low temps.
I can taste something from 155 on most greens I’ve had, a few did not but it’s rare.
I could be wrong but I think different terps go at different temps so by going low I only get some? 🤷♂️
Either way it’s been some of my finest flavours from the weed so I still do it. I find higher temps and it’s more toasted but gets you ROYALY fucked.

I sometimes vape at low temps on my Xmax pro for a mellow lift and the flavours can be great eh? 150 - 160 can taste like your eating the bud without actually eating it if that makes sense?
I like to start taking draws as it gets up to temp but always finish a cap on 200.
Just my process 🤷♂️. That’s the best about all this. No right answer until you try it and work out what’s best for you.

I've not tried hash in mine but still use the caps all the time for bud. Cleaning the head unit is easy enough but don't want to have to clean the oven regularly.
My advice for bud is not to pack the cap. You need enough air room for the convection thing to work properly.
Dank stuff vapes much better and longer too. If it's too dry, you'll only get a few decent pulls. On the other hand, I've got some Gorilla Glue from TGDs that just keeps vaping.

I don’t use caps because I’m lazy and can’t be bothered with the fiddly little bastards 😣
Why does that not surprise me in the slightest. I can just see your face because you have to press a button 🙄 do I have to lol 😂
Haha! Brilliant cos it’s true!…When can I have an Alexa voice activated Mighty! 🥳😆
“Hey Alexa- Light me up!” 😶🌫️👍
“Hey Alexa- Light me up!” 😶🌫️👍
Cheers metoo22. Will bear this in mind, only seem to be getting really dry weeds off here last few purchases.
Yeah, don't be put off if you don't think the Mighty isn't great if you're using dry stuff. I still like smoking so keep 2 stashes now.
One for smoking and another for the stuff that vapes good.
The best thing is that you can use it anywhere because the vapour doesn't smell. Ideal for hotels, bars, visiting fam, or if you can't smoke indoors at home :)
Also after much experimenting, I agree with S&B's rec starting temp of 180.

I really want to stop smoking so hoping I will take to this vaping caper ok :/ I’m in the right headspace atm, so taking a running jump at it. All the strains I have atm are as dry af tho! Best get shopping on here again!

Stick the dry stuff in a jar with 62% or higher Boveda if you've got time for it to gain some moisture. Takes a while tho.
It'll still vape but just not nearly as long as dank stuff.
Maybe msg your fav sellers and ask them what's not too dry for vaping.

Use the dosing capsule for hash to protect your oven. Get a pack of cotton bacon from Amazon but you only use a tiny amount. Put a wispy cover on the base of the capsule. For soft hash, roll and coil a snake and place on the bed with a wispy layer on top. For hard hash grind it first. Alternatively use weed as your sandwich layers.
For hash you need to crank up the temperatures starting at 195c for soft and 210c for hard. After the first buzz let it heat for the second two minutes as well, then click to keep it on and inhale.
I don’t bother with dosing capsules for just weed and load the oven directly. I start at 185c and add by 5c each cycle. I get 3 cycles out of a bowl.
Have a blast!😶🌫️👍

Cheers Polly. Just the advice I was after. Ordered myself some cotton bacon to arrive with my mighty tomo.
Looking forward to breaking the chains of carbonaceous smoking.

Cotton bacon for hash. Make a hash sandwich and turn the mighty up to the max.

I was going to buy the S&B Venty until I read about the battery problem.
Bought the heater kit and a V2 globe for £230 a saving of £150 over a Venty.
Bought the heater kit and a V2 globe for £230 a saving of £150 over a Venty.
What was drawing you to the Venty? (other than VAS obvs!)…I know there’s some enhanced air volume thing going down but can that really justify the ££££ when I’ve got a Mighty? (please say “yes” then I can buy one!)
From what I can make out the enhanced airflow is directly linked to the oven giving bigger hits.
The biggest draw for me is the max wattage is 130W compared to 45 W in the Mighty.
20 second heat up time and cool down and a ceramic bowl for easier cleaning.
Yep I'm getting one 😁

Mmmmmmm?🤔…..Mighty+ has a ceramic bowl…don’t care saving 100 seconds on heat up…I thought the max temp on the Venty is still 210c?, what difference does the wattage make?- I really don’t know…
It all comes down to that airflow thing again…
Still want one though😂😂

I think you might be right polly. Just stop looking because you will just go back to your trusted mighty
So a cotton bacon layer, then hash, then a top layer of cotton bacon? What is the purpose of the two layers? Would you say this is a better method than capsule/drip pad for hash consumption in the mighty?
Sorry for all the questions, not a clue on what I’m doing RE: vaping!

For flavour I vape at 180 then raise to 185 then 188 for the hit….any higher and it’s toasted…rem to keep the waste and use to make edibles….amazing the hit you get off the waste…enjoy man..good luck staying off the jegs…
All the adobe you’re looking for has been given. All that’s left to say is enjoy 😉
It’s a sloppy slope this VAS marlarky 🙄

Nice ma man.
Was watching a few reels of it getting used and, Aye all day long.
That said I love a bit of butane. Something very primitive about it and margin of error is small but you know that feeling when you get it just on the button 💨
Fuck this I’m a away to the desk of doom for a vape

I hit the dynavap the other day and it was INCREDIBLE, like I nailed the method and heat.
Seriously impressive considering it’s basically a tube of metal and cost 40 quid 🔥

Ordered a cart from trusted vendor in the states. It's been sent International first class and has been tracked around Nevada and California. Looks like it's left the USA now. I have read conflicting info regarding tracking of this when it gets to the UK. Anyone have experience of this?
Mine get tracked to Heathrow where they seem to stick until I start to worry and then turn up by courier at my door🥳…but no tracking update after the airport. I think it depends which option you select as to the outcome…

Vaping advice
First time using my new Solo 2 last night, but I used MORE bud than I would smoking?
I would say my smoking tolerance is low (1 J @ around 0.5-0.7g and I’m cooked), but last night I seemed to get through loads of bud (probs between a gram and 2)? I kept the temp 180-190 throughout and vaped until the taste noticeably changed. All the AVB coming out was a universal toasted caramel colour and none appeared to be wasted so where am I going wrong?

Too low a temperature to release all the spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes that you are used to via combustion and at too slow a speed
Put it on max,.load and insert stem,.let it get to max temp, wait 30 seconds, was that 30 if so wait ten more for best practice,.inhale a.couple of times and that should kill that bowl,. immediately do that process again.
I suspect you might want to do it once more for luck and then 🤞🤞 you will be not like a j stoned but definitely higher than the above

In my head if a 0.5g joint was 5 shots of tequila
And 1 arizer bowl is 0.1g ish so 1 shot of tequila
Then you have gone from rocking up at a bar and knocking back 5 shots in one go to rocking up and having ten shots over 2 hours but are served them in a sippy cup so you can't down them so you never reach the level of consumption that 5 shots as soon as you hit the bar does
Think that's makes sense 🤔😁

Never ever shoot fine tequila. It should be poured into Reidel Ouverture crystal flute (the official tequila tasting glass) at room temperature. There are three stages to nosing tequila, a warm up procedure to prime the mouth and then tasting that has seven key steps and 45 common flavour profiles as well as mouth feel and finish…
I won’t go on…🤓😉

2oz through letter box?

2oz through letter box?
Hi, I’m new here and wanted to order 2oz of shake, the seller (dr. Distillate) offers RM 24 tracked and I know this isn’t a signed for delivery which I am happy about as I really don’t want to open the door to collect it… just paranoid about that… my question is will 2oz of shake fit through my letter box or will I have to open the door to receive my parcel? Thank you
Yeah it will fit no problem, all my shake orders have been 2oz and made it easily especially if it is vac packed. The only thing that was wedged in the letterbox because of the box height was 3.5g of hash lol.
In terms of paranoia, you can very easily deny all knowledge, someone could have put your address by mistake, just because it's addressed to you, doesn't mean that you have ordered it.

Best vape for hash?
Ive decided im going to switch from smoking to vaping but i know nothing about vapes. I mainly smoke hash but sometimes bud. Im looking for advice on what vapes are best for hash?
Cheers!
Cheers!
The search for the perfect hash vape continues but….
Some people argue that the most popular battery vapes don’t gat hot enough and there may be some truth in this depending on the hash. Soft hashes used in dosing capsules or with cotton bacon to protect the oven work just fine in devices like the Mighty, Crafty or PAX3. Hardhashes can be ground up with some weed.
Butane (ie using a torch lighter) allows you to go for real near combustion temperatures but that comes with a learning curve. The DynavapM and the Vapman are the best examples imo…

Hashes respond better in conduction biased devices
Technically you can do the cotton bacon thing in anything from a yocan (s)hit to an arizer air to a DC gen 2 and have reasonable results
Otherwise 🤷🏽

Thanks for this im glad ive asked this as i was looking at the mighty and tiny mighty but don't really want to be limited to what type of hash I can get to use in it.
I'm sure lots of people on here will have better advice but I use a Pax 2 and wrap the hash in a bit of black raw paper so it doesn't gunk up the chamber. Once it's good and vaped I then eat the hash....
Besides the ones already mentioned here (DV, Dani, anvil) I can totally recommend the hash pipe from chameleon glass! Manual vape, full glass and function-wise very similar to the good old hot-knife. Price is great too 😉
Oooh just looked on chameleon glass and looking at the Moroccan hash water pipe bowl, is that what you was on about? Reading through the description of how it works it sounds right up my street. Do you have one?
Hi! 😁
Yes, I have the gandalf hash pipe 👍 Love it! The moroccan bowl is the same principle, but made to use with a bong, as a far as I know. The gandalf and briars hash pipe are for "dry" use, which I prefer.
With good quality hash, it's just great! It only uses very little and, depending on type and quality of the hash, you get between 2 and 5 real nice and tasty hits from it.

Piqued my interest too, fell down the rabbit hole last night.
Have you used the Terpsicle? either that or the Gandalf gonna beat the dyna (hash only)?

Hi,
I'm sorry, but I can't say anything about the terpsicle 🤷♂️ never used it. In my honest opinion, the gandalf hash pipe beats the dynavap by far, when it comes to hash! But I really have to stress the fact, that you need good/ high quality hash to really enjoy the experience. It's specifically designed for bubble hash and the like. In the beginning you may combust a couple of times, until you get the feel for it, but then its nothing but a great device 👍

Appreciate that thanks, I’ve a.parcel of iso and triple filtered waiting for something that does it justice. Always tempted by TRWW just because he’s such a nice guy with his low cost, low tech craft, but it sounds like I’m gonna get a lizard for christmas 👍🏼
You're very welcome! ... I have a quite big collection of different vapes and I'm happy to share my experience and opinion with everyone interested. Have fun with the hash pipe! Cheers ✌️
All great advice and all work.
Good shout on the danni fusion heatedmeatballs and the Anvil but again bigger outlays than the dynavap M.
Not used the first two but I want to lol but all the hash advice has been given.
If you’re using the vape to quit joints. I would suggest something process driven to replace the process of rolling.
That feeling you sit down. Get the skins out.
I found that the hardest part. Mentally getting over that hurdle.
Just so happens that in my opinion it’s a two for 1 with the dynavap.
I only use hash with my dynavap but recently a good mate made some dosing caps with hash and bud and it was really nice. A nice change had some good sessions with them. As previously it had just been dyna only.
Butane is king 🤴

Cheers for this, ive seen the dynavap before and didnt like the idea of having to manually heat it up but after hearing everyone's comments im going to look into it a bit more. Ive never been one for joints im a bong man but getting older now and need to give my lungs a break.
Cheers again!
Cheers again!
You should mate. I use it all the time best bit just get a WPA and still have your bongs but just no combustion. That was your still getting your bong hit. I will say that I prefer the small bubbler’s that the bongs you need a step ladder for lol 😂
Your gear last so much longer and I think it’s a better lasting stone
Have a look at the 420vapezone dynavap 101 video

For hash the best thing would be a dynavap m, the downside is that it looks a little like a crack pipe. It's a manual heat up with a lighter rather than battery powered. The issue with using an electronic vape is getting high enough temp to "melt" the hash. You need at least 200 to do anything but 210-220 works best. I use a Mighty + at 210 and love it but get a better taste with the dynavap. For hash in the Mighty +, I use a dosing capsule and some cotton bacon. When I'm vaping bud, I just use a dosing capsule.
Cheers mate tbh i dont mind the fact the dynavap looks like a crackpipe lol i use a waterfall gravity bong or hotknifes at the moment and they dont look much better.
Showing our age now lol
How do you find the gravity bong? Looks the part.
You can make it look like a posh crack pipe if you have deep pockets

My gravity bong is a robinsons bottle with a hole in the bottom and a bowl in the lid so doesn't look the most glamorous thing in the world. I use these because i find them the most effective thing to use to get the most out of my smoke. Ive got a glass water bong but i can smoke 4-5gs a day easily through that and I find that half the stuff in the water isnt burnt so I would say that i probably only smoke 60% of what i load into the bowl if that makes sense. With the gravity bong i need half as much and get so much more stoned off one or 2. Only thing is it gets so much resin round the mouthpiece real quickly and you can sometimes get it on your lipss or teeth which is lovely lol. Also get nostalgic using gravity bongs and hot knifes!
Oh good old bucket kit then 🤚

I remember looking ages ago forn something a bit fancy and remember seeing something for £500 or something and stopped looking (just looked and its called the Stündenglass Gravity Infuser and is £540). I cant justify paying that when i can pay £1.25 for a new Robinsons bottle and get 1.5l of juice in it too
Exactly my point with dyna. Different process same result 🤷♂️. If it works don’t break it.
Yea no chance can you justify that
Yea no chance can you justify that
It does indeed look like a crack pipe lol
If you like it. accessorise To make it look slightly less of a crack pipe ha ha
If it’s a take out the house vape. Which you can do of course then the dyna might not be what your looking for as it’s not exactly discrete

This was one of the reasons at first i didnt really take to the idea of the dynavap (being able to use it covertly outside) but im ok using carts when im out and about.
Dynavap with single flame jet torch for hash and you can't go wrong. Not too different from the ritual of joint rolling but the flavour you get from bud and hash is night and day compared to smoking. Also the Dynavap ecosystem is huge, so many aftermarket sellers bringing out fresh new stems, induction heaters, tips and bongs.
The other thing to be aware of is that vaping is very different to smoking, when I first tried vaping, I enjoyed the high but missed the "bite" of smoking a joint. For a replacement for smoking, I think that 510 cartridges are probably a better option like are available from Doctor Terpy.
Agree 100% on the stone. Totally different and better in my opinion.
Looking back I can see that quite a lot of the time it’s was the nicotine I was craving but what’s the point of smoking I may as well have a joint.
You’re also right about the instant hit from combusting but I now realise how much gear I wasted in joints.
My gear lasts far longer vaping than smoking especially hash.

I thought I was craving cannabis but, as you said, most of the time it's nicotine. You don't realise until you've stopped smoking.
I agree with this completely, i haven't smoked with tobacco for about 15 years but i remember when i stopped using tobacco and it felt like somthing was missing. Also smoking with tobacco gives a different high than smoking pure, its less enjoyable imo.
If i smoke ingo through a half oz in 5 days or so but if i use hot knifes it lasts considerably longer so hopefully vaping will save me some money in the long run.
It has me
When I started using hash again. Especially in the dyna I could not believe how much longer it lasted.
I get some amount of cycles from hash.

Agree too but would add those vapes that get really hot or heat soak (taroma 360) get very close to a combustion experience. I've got a taroma 360 head and it's too much for me nowadays.
Nice bits for kit but just not practical as my kids are Ferrell lol 🙄
I’m bad enough putting my stuff away as it is lol 😂
Plus I like butane. It feels very primal and the satisfaction of hitting it bang on.

Totally agree mate mine are totally feral too, the amount of times I've got up in the middle of the night to check my ball vape is off. There is a Dani fusion 2.0 coming out I believe and the tempest from mad heaters looks truly epic (butane ball vape).
Yea spoke to a few people who have tried the tempest and needless to say no negative coming from them.
I wasn’t aware of the 2.0 but if I’m honest I’m trying not to look at vapes just now. These is what you want then what you need lol
Do I want them? Yes
Do I need them? No but yes
As they say. A stoner knows exactly how much weed they have but can’t remember if they left the ball vape on ha ha ha

I enjoy smoking but im coughing a lot more recently and can feel my lungs and chest need a break so im not going to miss the hit i get as i cough nearly every bong i have now.
Maybe a Dani fusion and use a bit of degummed hemp fibre. You want something you can get pretty hot. Ball vape like a taroma would work too, even a tiny might. Anything you can push the heat on a bit.
I've got one mate, absolutely love it. Go for the fusion, it's got a larger chamber than a dynavap, you can fully extract in one or build up temp and sip those terps.
I had my eye on one. Someone was selling it and a good price but at some point you have to rain it in. Unfortunately 🙄
My mates a dyna fanatic but we had a good conversation about all the costs involved in being a dyna “collector” and he had some high end gear and one off’s. That are very expensive but the crux of the conversation was that he sold 90% for tools. Anyway the point is that it’s all great and love having them but the all have the same end result. Just different ways to get there.
But I still want one lol 😂

Got a crafty+ Works a treat. I wouldn’t bother with the cotton, just fill the capsule up. Got a Dyna, also works a treat. I would check out all the puffco range, not tried them, but they all look next level. Would be my next purchase for sure.
Maybe err on the side of caution with the Proxy then!! 1st negative I’ve heard. Sample group of about 3 though, including yourself
Aw mate, I wanted to love it, especially at £300! I had visions of puffing gently away like Bing Crosby 😶🌫️
But I was coughing like mad, even the lowest temp is crazy hot. The oven is wrecked after every use and then you find out it has only a 90 day life and costs £60 to replace!😱🤬
No upside at all…I suppose the glass itself is pretty, nice case, 🤷♂️🤷♂️

Newbie to dist vape carts, some Qs
New bigga here and just made my first purchase for my first vape cart and Amigo battery, shout out to MJ. Dont want to pester him with questions further as he's got a biz to run so I turn to you, fellow biggies.
Do they smell? Atm I've been sneakjng out the back garden for a few hits but its getting long having to do that in the night, have considered taking large rips and exhaling into a empty water bottle and screwing the lid on to contain the smell. Would that work?
Also, I have a cart which is named after a sativa strain. From my understanding carts are made with d9 distillate and have added terpenes, from my understanding that means all carts have the same effect, just a different flavour? So it doesn't matter if the name of a strain is usually a indica/sativa in plant form. It will have the same effects due to the same distillate being used and having just flavour added?
Thanks, quiet guy.

Hey QG- welcome to LB👋
Carts have a smell but it’s not as strong as weed and no way as strong as combusting weed. Personally if I’m not in my Den then I take hits in the bathroom just to be mindful of it.
Strains are less easy to discern in distillate carts than they are in the corresponding flower. Take Mimosa for example- a favourite strain of mine. I can buy carts that taste and smell of classic Mimosa but don’t have the signature effects imo. That’s not to say that the effects for all carts are the same regardless of the strain name. I definitely have some that buzz me right up and other that knock me right out!🤩👍.
You can also progress to live resin and rosin carts. These have a pure extraction method but they are still diluted to make them work in a vape so are not exact copies of the flowers effects.
We’ve long been campaigning to have date stamps on posts for the topics wall- it would make it function so much better. Obviously we can add our own but it’s hard to remember. Some say it’s a ‘security issue’…why that would be I have no idea🤷♂️…

Hi QG
The main reason I switched to vapes was the lack of smell compared to smoking or even dry herb vaping. Sure they still smell a bit, I use them inside usually with some sort of scented candle going which seems to mask the smell. I have a 15 year old with a sense of smell like a well trained bloodhound. She has never mentioned any aroma. When I vaped dry herb about 30 feet down the garden she would generally ask who had been smoking weed. The smell of vapes is nothing like weed or hash.
That's a good question about strains and distillates. I've spoken with G6 about this. They claim that their carts are "strain specific distillate" and have effects you would expect from the strain in question.
I've found distillate very variable in its effect. Canadian Imports Unicorn Piss for example will absolutely fk you over and last ages whereas others are less intense and short lived.
The major differences for me have been using live resin which seems a lot more allied with the strain effects you might expect. It's much closer to smoking a well stacked joint than distillate.
It took me a while to find which carts suited me through trial and error.

Hey QC welcome to LB!
In my experience, carts don’t smell anywhere near actual flower and smoking weed. I personally use a live resin vape to medicate when i’m out and about as it’s much more practical for me.
With distillate I’ve found that I don’t really tend to get strain specific effects but the carts tend to smell like the strain due to the added terpenes. Depending on the quality of distillate used, some will totally knock you out and last ages whereas some may be lighter and not last as long.
If you’re looking for strain specific effects I’d highly recommend taking a look into live resin and rosin carts as these are made from extracting from fresh flower and you’ll get more of a full bodied effect from this compared to distillate carts.
I’ve found distillate tends to give me more of a pure head high and live resin carts are much more aligned to smoking/vaping flower.

LB legends does vaping indoors leave a lingering smell the way smoke would?
Standing outside with a J in the cold sort of kills the vibe, but I won’t get the vape past the boss (my beautiful wife) if it’s going to stink out the lounge! Thanks in advance 🦙

I tend to pop into the bathroom for a hit if I’m not in my Den. Vaping isn’t a strong smell but it’s definitely there…
No where near as much or as long but yes it will smell
I use https://recommendedvapesupplies.co.uk/products/yocan-green-personal-air-filter?_pos=1&_sid=53922dcd9&_ss=r one of these to exhale into and that seems to be enough to avoid Mrs rabb1t's nose

It will leave a smell but nowhere near as strong as smoking. For inside, you may be better with carts as the smell off those is minimal and dissipates quickly.
A distillate only vape you should be ok with, its when you start adding live resin to the mix it starts to hummm.

Tinymight 2 advice!!
Hey, kinda thought of this from craftycatts post, I recently got a tinymight2 and have spare batteries with and external charger and a fancy wooden tip, but does anyone have experience with one, have you figured out a way to make the bud/hash last longer or am I bound to get through a lot as it is such a powerful and efficient device? I have a high tolerance but it does get me there with enough tokes anyways.. also best way to consume hash? Cheers
Brace yourself for tips, recommendations and hopefully pictures of contraptions and add ons usually reserved for coffee snobs on tik tok 😂
It’s a bit Marmite huh?🤔….that said, when I get it right with hash the hits are the finest I’ve had!🤩🔥
Noooooo!, I've got a Dynavap as well which is probably better for hash with some tricks, thanks for the comment
Far better for hash.
As yet I've yet to find a better vape that comes close to the dyna with the BB9 steam with the small bubbler

will check them out, oh my gward the amount of accessories I have managed to accumulate already!!
rtbobbyt no chance am I putting hash anywhere near that TM oven. Even with the warranty lol
Hi Shokey,
Yea I find it's exactly what it says on the tin and as you said very efficient at it's Job.
I use it extensively when I first got mine and I really like it but agree that the steams that you get with it are pure shite. I'm just lazy and not ordered any others and it kind of went down the pecking order a bit.
It's not great to load out and about ect
You do get some dam good hits from it.
I watched the Troy and Jerry best electronic vapes for bongs/ bubblers and again just didn't get round to getting a WPA but a certain rabb1t and his wee paws helped me out.
So my advice is get a WPA and rip it.
What temp you running at?

WPA on its way!!
I still don't think I have sussed temps but I normally have it at 5/6 and get two good hits. I could probably get another hit out of each dose but it gets quite hot and the flavour starts to deteriorate after the first big hit!
What temps you running at too?

Nice that will make a difference as an alternative to native but I find it better experience. As I love using the glass. I made the mistake of trying to use it with the glass as I would my dyna. Just 2nd nature as that’s what I mostly use the glass for. Like using the steam. Long and slow. Gets the oven and air flowing as you know. Then it’s the big 2nd and a two to the head John whisk style to make sure. With a wee boost of the turbo button.
Yea I tend to get 3/4 out a bowl depending on how and why im using it. Leaving the house in 10 and need a boost. Hover that bad boy lol 😆
In regards to temps we are much the same. Tend to have it sitting at 6. In my opinion as polly has said it’s a ripper. So I get to the same point but faster than the mighty.
3 max with the glass and that’s pushing it.
Let’s us know how you get on with the WPA

You are right to change out the stems..the supplied ones are rubbish in my opinion, and the cooling unit is truly terrible. Fortunately it’s easily solved- try a long glass 3D stem with a basket gauze and you won’t look back (haven’t tried wood but as long as you can dump the cooling unit then it’s good!).
You really shouldn’t use much gear- the basket on the 3D stem is 0.1-2g…you couldn’t use much less!
You really can’t do hash in the TM2. The only way would be with dosing capsules but I’ve tried them all and they just don’t work. Without them your oven will be trashed in no time.
It’s a ripper mate- that’s all it does but it does that well👍

thanks for the tips Polly, a ripper is what I was after to replace smoking bongs/ lots of spliffs! I will have a play around with dosing sizes, might have been using too much per.
Looking into tree D stems now!

Hey Dazzler, its going really well, partly to do with quitting smoking and my family being much easier to live with as a result lol
I have ordered a WPA adapter and a very basic bong off of amazon, which I am hoping will do the trick for back to back rips at home and no cooling unit needed, should be goood. No new stems yet, I will definately look into them although I do like the toughness of the titanium for when I am carrying it around with me outside. I have also got myself some possibly controversial S+B capsules which I have found work great although they dont fit inside the stem, they get a nice even roast and same amount of hits from the proper TM ones. Capsule are atleast a bit easier to pop in and out on the go, as long as I have some loaded!

Nice one man.
Honestly the WPA was a game changer for me and mine.
I feel the Ti steam can get quite hot.
At the end of the day it’s what works for you and all that counts.
I would say that as long as your intake is vertical in your glass it will just make life so much easier. Just remember long and slow on the bubbler also. Yea I did make the mistake of thinking the WPA wasn’t great as I was treating it like using the dyna and glass. Nope wrong way Dazzler lol 😂

I've had the exact same advice from polly and I wish I acted on it sooner as I was thinking that it was not getting the use that it deserves

Separate rating for vendor vs the item in reviews?
Separate rating for vendor vs the item in reviews?
I think it would be cool to have the ability to rate the vendor and the item separately in a review.
Most of the time the vendor has done a stellar job with stealth, fast dispatch and comms so I rate high like 10 but sometimes the bud isn’t 10/10, you know?
I think it would be nice to have a more accurate review from everyone as to what they thought of the bud alone, esp since we can’t see it in person before purchase and pics aren’t much to go by.
Anyone feel the same?

Is my Crafty+ CU salvageable?
I done fucked up. I cleaned my CU off in coconut oil, and then washed it in fairy liquid to get the residue off. Now everything tastes like fucking soap. 😠😠😠😠😠
Thankfully they are cheap, so I have ordered a replacement. But do you think this one can be saved? Have rinsed, soaked it in water, and done multiple burn offs. As a last ditch effort, I am giving the disassembled parts a final soak. Is there anything else do be done? Also, for the future, what is a good product to get the coconut oil off?

Haha, just use isopropyl next time for less hassle & better results. Can use it to get rid of the coconut oil.
Definitely salvageable

Thanks! I couldn't find isopropyl anywhere, so I figured 'eh, dish soap will do much the same thing'. Lesson learned!
I usually buy a big bottle off Amazon. But yes sucks you can't just pop in a shop and buy it in UK

Best EU hash on here ?
Hello hash lovers :)
What is the best hash you found on here that ships to EU ?
For the moment my favorite one is Nero's jetfuel og bubble hash.

Yes Hashishin got some really nice Hash indeed if you are more into old school material :)
Hi guys, long timer here on LB.
Recently moved to Germany after many years in the UK.
Could you guys recommend any Vendors that Ship interstate Germany preferably? (if any around)
I know Nero ships from Spain, that being said trying to take the least risk as possible.
Maybe some Dutch guys around?
The situation is slowly changing in the fatherland, even though keeping it as low key as possible.
Thanks!

Hey,
It seems most of the EU hash on here is in spain.
Idk for some Dutch guys ^^
Hopefully we will see it become legal all across europe while we still breathe :D

mighty vape temp setting?
I use 185 , 195 then 210.
Like Polly said, max heat for hash, and I also add a terp perl to the dosing capsule for hash/concentrates
Like Polly said, max heat for hash, and I also add a terp perl to the dosing capsule for hash/concentrates
For weed I start at 185, dialling up by 5 for each subsequent hit. I get plenty of flavour and cloud doing it this way. For hash I crank it up to max…👍
straight to 210 if its late and i want to sleep otherwise start at 180 and work my way up to 195
185 for weed.
It does relinquish a little more vapor if you take it higher but it soon becomes rather coarse on my throat .

Thanks buddy. I played around with temp when I first got but I ended up just straight blasting at 210, thankfully I don’t experience many throat problems. You reckon it’s more efficient going through the gears as I smoke like some have suggested? i.e. start at 185, 190, 195 and so on?
If you can survive sucking at 210 then I would suggest there is no point going through the gears
You get totally different effects at low temps . If you start really low it can be great for getting a head buzz without longing you out
I’m with you mate; some weeds are great ar 155 upwards for me.
Totally unique flavours and effects
Totally unique flavours and effects
I had a crafty + and due to inhaling the vapour direct to your lungs I couldn’t really cope with more than 185 without coughing. 195 for boost after the majority of vapour has gone. With my Arizer xq2 I can comfortably go much high but don’t really like more than 215.
I believe it’s the thc that makes you cough, rather than the temperature. There is more thc at higher temperatures. Vaping green at 210 is almost like smoking it through a pipe
I have an Arizer EQ as I do like balloons but I don’t believe the temperature readout. I have to crank it up to the sort of temps that would blow my noodle off on other devices. Still does the job though🤷♂️
Hi! I’m super anxious about using my mighty for hash. I know there’s the drip pad but I’m so worried about fucking it up. What’s your technique please? Has there ever been any issues? Thanks 👍
If you're concerned, you can put some hemp fibre in the bottom of your chamber to catch any run off. Hemp fibre in the chamber, dosage capsule ontop with 2 terp perl and hash inside 👌
I started off this way using the hemp fibre with hash, but i've since found it not to be necessary once I got familiar with dosage etc. But it does give you a piece of mind 👍

Yeah, like Anon I just use a little bit of cotton bacon either in the bottom of the oven direct or if it’s a really melty hash then in a dosing capsule (no drip pad, only use those for concentrates) with a light covering of the cotton.
No problems, although I generally use a Vapman for hash these days as the extraction is superb 🤩😶🌫️

That’s strange. Maybe it’s because the whole unit it bigger and the bud isnt as close to the heating element?
Yup, I don’t think the Mighty needs to get any hotter..it produces its results at lower temps than some other units👍
To be honest it really depends on my mood and the weed in question. Sometimes I just go to 200 right away then 210 to finish it off, this is usually when I want to get as high as fast as possible.
My preference given time is to start at 185. (175 if it’s a particularly terpy strain). And go up in 10 degrees increments every 5/10 puffs upto max temp usually, or 200 again mood dependent 🤷♂️

Best temp for dabs?

Best temp for dabs?
Finally took the plunge and bought an e-nail and a Klein recycler, but I'm a bit unsure about optimum temps to use?
260°C was suggested for flavour, and the thing goes up to 400°C/750F. Seems to taste more or less the same to me until higher temps where it's singed like a damp sheepdog when smoking the dregs left in the nail. Any advice would be appreciated. I never thought I'd progress from joints back to bongs again, then finally to this new stage. It gets me ridiculously high (hat tip to Canadian Imports and their Live Resin and Caviar. The Blue Dream was particularly amazing. I was still really high the next afternoon, and ludicrously high the night I smoked it. Link above), and is actually workable unlike blowtorches, induction heaters, and fiddling with bangers. This place really changes people, and sometimes quite quickly, doesn't it?

It certainly does change you Mr Rux!
I've been dragged from the stone age and now have a drawer full of Dynavaps and dab pens and other bits. Didn't even know they existed before coming on here. Never mind all the fine bubble hash and concentrates.
Good on you going for an enail and glad you're enjoying it! I'm looking to go down that route myself soon and am keen to learn more about it, so hope you get some answers.
The boards have seemed quiet on here the last weeks. And I'm sorry if I comment on your post and then it drops off the Topics wall never to be seen again, as that's what normally happens when I comment 🤷
I'm not sure about the optimum temps but think it's based on the substance you use, and personal preference..?
Which enail did you go for?

The Freeze Pipe colab e-nail. It's very good. Does just what it says on the tin. I just find that at the lower temps it's not obliterating all of the obligatory rice grain sized amount, and when I crank the temp it all tastes the same, but still gets me high.
That's a sweet looking setup Rux.
Both the Freeze pipe and the Klein recycler.
I haven't seen either of those before.
The ones i was looking at were more rudimentary with coils, PID's and bangers....
That sure looks a lot easier to use, and sounds like you're getting good vapour!
In the pens I can never obliterate everything in the chamber!!
BTW, that Blue Dream sounds damn sweet 😶🌫️

Favourite coffeeshop in Dam
Like in topic, give me your best picks, my fav is definitely 420cafe, excellent parvati cream they have <3
Cheers!
Cheers!
Its been a few years since i have been but the best shops last time were MrK&co and family first and also I had a great time in Reefer - they had some fire dutch and import. for me its more about the atmosphere - I am a chilled stoner and cant stand the ultra busy and loud shops.
Katsu, Mr K, Family First, Bagheera, Bluebird. That's probably my current top 5. I was last there in December.
Probably my favourite Coffeeshop if I had to choose one. You can always rely on Solo’s quality, especially their hash.
I love 1eHulp, for quality of product and a nice place too, a bit of a walk out of the centre but worth it
1eHulp ('First Aid') is a great choice, and not the only good reason for walking out of the centre, it's in a cool part of town. All the best bits of the Dam lie beyond the Prinsengracht. Flower Power round the corner on the Rozengracht is my fave, I discovered Manala Cream in there. Yum!
Haven’t been for a while but bush doctor used to have great products and a nice outdoor space.
Bush doctor was always my goto. Early 2000s tried nyc sour diesel there for the first time. Great coffee shop
Bush doctor was family firsts dad I believe. See family first on fsotd podcast mention it
Ah used to love the Future and Fancy Free but alas they are both gone, Prix D'Ami purely for the fact you can score a smoke and then shoot some pool
Loved Prix D’Ami, pitch black other than pool table lights and the occasional glow of a toke.
It's been a least 12 years since I've been, homegrown fantasy was always a favourite,abraxas,grey area and Barney's,la cana pool hall was always a good shout.
Kashmir lounge.. by far the best coffee shop.. check out the lounge..best hash collection..near the moroccan area.. you will love it
I always used to love the Bluebird but haven't been for 30 years. Nice to see it's still going.
I'm more interested in the hash than the cali pack type stuff.
Last time I was out, I hung out in Siberie, Katsu, Kashmir, Coffeeshop Amsterdam.
If you're after good bud, 1ehulp or borejorgens.

been twice this year, babas coffee shop was my personal favourite, good price dutch, great seating and a ball vape ready for you to use if you would like at no extra cost. It’s not in central (15 min bus from station) but i also absolutely love basjoes if you’re lucky enough to sit in the booth.
I like to buy my stuff in the popular ones (Terps army, Family first,grey area ect) then sit in the less popular/places & you can get food in some. Like hillstreetbooze. Bulldog lounge, La grotte. This is a great method tried and tested there’s a few others but I can’t remember the names ect.
Coffeeshops In amsterdam coffee shop DNA , Berjongens , Zero Zero coffee shop in Alkmaar was in there recently they had a strain called White lady must of been the best bit of weed I tried while in Holland 🇳🇱 and I went to many all ver the Netherlands
Amsterdam 🧬 Genetics are the best quality no doubt
Amsterdam 🧬 Genetics are the best quality no doubt
visited a few now but I like yanks in zandvoort... its very realxed and the budtenders are sound..... sometimes found the ones the dam to be quite wanky at times lol
Hill street blues for the different music every day and the vibe
Home grown fantasy, slightly off the beaten track but with Power Plant :)

Sounds like the worst advice ever. Just got back last night and the stand out shops are Green place, Terps army, The Plug and Family First.
Bulldogs along with Smokey's are 2 of the shittest coffee shops in Amsterdam, 2 of the best are 1E Hulp and Green Place

long term effects you've experienced from cannabis?
have you been been re-wired? i know i think much more openly than as a padawon and my control group of friends/haters is the opposite.
I have a few side affects
Intolerance to people's BS
An overwhelming desire to do fuck all
A lack of dreams (mine were crushed years ago anyway)
An unexplainable hatred of Ed Sheeran
And I have also found I still have the purile humour of a school boy
Otherwise I'm fine

True but my hatred goes beyond rational, to the point that half of my life is dedicated to plotting various methods of his demise. My favourite would be to not actually kill him but plant some kiddy porn on his PC, ruin him proper, Glitter styley
Long term use has a deleterious effect on my short term memory and cognitive function (although it seems to stabilise a few months in). I can mitigate some of those losses by taking CBD before bed, but it sucks because it also kills your buzz.
Also, not sure this is a side effect or a benefit, but I often have moments of insight and clarity while high. Things I'll bury away, procrastinate over, or stuff that simply exists in my subconscious will come to the fore. In some people that triggers paranoia and anxiety, but for me it's a catalyst to grab a pen and record my inner monologue.
That said, I'm due a huge break (starting March), as I have some writing jobs to do and I need to learn to drive because my mum is chronically ill.
Time to sharpen the old pencil for a few months and then blunt it in the summer.🤩

Sweet I write at least 3x stoned with 10x moments. Yes there are - 3x times as well but they have disappeared with experience. Like my memory :)
Paragraph 2! Spot on. During a paragraph 2 moment, i decided to report my manager to the Regulatory Authority for our industry. Which I then did.
Weight gain. All strains manage to give me the munchies, and my self-control flies out the window. I can plow through a block of Soreen in under five minutes - I shit you not!
Yep I've deffo got the weight gain going on. Currently "trying" to diet 🙃 now wheres them choccy bickies 🤣
I feel you. Think the only buds that never made me ravenous were Durban Poison and Blue Dream
It's the tastiest, lowest-fat snack I've found so far. Four green and one orange on the health traffic lights. I wish I could trade it for Dairy Milk, but that's when the serious poundage appears.
Haha why would anyone lie about that? The 'Honestly' was superfluous.
I know exactly what you mean though 😅
I know exactly what you mean though 😅
The only real negative effect for me is short term memory loss, which the pros massively outweight the cons.
I have Asperger's but smoking weed helps massively, my thoughts tend to race but with weed it slows everything down, I can focus on one thing.
This is huge for me because the racing thoughts leas to anxiety as I'm trying to think of too much too quickly and a lot small, simple problems combine and it feels overwhelming. Not with weed though.
For some reason it seems to "fix" that part of my brain. And it actually allows me to be content with existence.

One long term effect is a better sex life, makes you harder, last longer ,feel more and is definitely an aphrodisiac;)
TLDR: short term memory loss, apathy yet decisiveness, psychological expansion, hope.
Introduced back in the 90s in college, along with other recs 💊 as part of the London clubbing scene.
Lots of commercial hash about at the time which was demotivating in hindsight.
The weed mostly skunk and I remember fondly the laughs had, and epiphanies too.
I was a late teenager and combined with hallucinogens and later spiritual practices had some kind of brain rewiring that was terrifying and awe inspiring.
I’d quit for nearly 20 years before trying again about 4 year ago but that grew and I’ve been consuming and experimenting daily since lockdown. I even grew my own - 3 solo cups of StarDawg, Black Hulk and Easy Bud. Well proud!
I’ve always been sensitive and having a more psychedelic experience wasn’t uncommon. Even on tiny one hitters and I had a year of not only having a tiny tolerance but intense highs that were mostly bringing my subconscious to the surface and tbh all hell broke loose in all areas of my life. Like psychedelics, if you are of the persuasion to be interested in the big questions or have a past that’s traumatic, then it’s going to make you face it and give you the stark reality of the human experience.
I’ve been able to work through it but I fear for the masses who are embarking on their inner journeys unprepared. Not my circus but I have a heart and an understanding that the truths revealed can be devastating to the mind as well as freeing, perhaps providing the liminal space for humans to evolve that’s drowned out by this materialistic and oppressive world.
I love being high. It’s addicting for me. The escape. The creativity and ability to think and pose multi-angled concepts is simply exhilarating and I believe can help solve some of our most challenging problems globally, and locally in our families - my wife hates it but prefers me on it for example. Her hate is ignorance mind.
I’ve realised that for me, daily is more about tolerance, habit and escape. It’s our choice but you have to live with the costs and as someone said, the weeks and years go by and one can be happy with just taking life in… philosophically, I do have issues with this so I’m looking to be more ritualistic and purposeful with it as well as have moments when just to enjoy and experiment.
I’ve been shocked by the tolerance build up which really became noticeable after I found LB 🤣 seems a waste as I found in the last 2 months that the high doesn’t hit as hard or as long and that sucks ‘cause you feel like you’re chasing the buzz but it’s not, it’s the escape for me, but I’m aware of it, and I’m in control.

also started using cannabis again in lockdown after about 20 years.... looking out the windows high AF thinking fuck this shit was true enlightenment lol
Yeah, weed makes me super withdrawn if I let myself smoke all the time, it's ended relationships and has brought my current one to the brink, Im trying therapy and smoking less indica during the day.
Used to get globus sensation from high thc bud but thats gone these days.

“Globus sensation” thanks 🙏🏾
I also get this reaction from time to time and it coincides when I feel the weed is strong.
Also have other strange sensations which my anxiety labels as dangerous so my fight or flight kicks in.
I’ve learned that this is more about past sh*t being brought into the now and these effects of the body are just responses.
The challenge is to ride it out and then I find the experience is smoother ✌🏽

Once you know what’s really in your head it becomes easy. Bud makes you really understand, helps you get deep into your thoughts. It’s like a light bulb moment when you wake. Takes alot of work but we keep on tokin 😁
I have ADHD, without it my brain is like bag of snakes, every direction at once.
Even with it i struggle sometimes but its more like that glowy ball thing Will 'The Slap' Smith releases in Men in Black that caused the 1977 New York blackout.
Theres a squirrel on the balcony gotta go...

Peace. Freedom from 90% of my physical pain. Inflamation reduction & much more. Those are long term, 50 years, it builds up.
Great question.
I'm over 50, in gainful employment, reasonably fit and slim but an unhealthy diet for balance. Vape daily up to 0.4g but usually 0.2g max. Anyhoo, about 2g max a week but I'm using less strong flower just now, with better gear, I'd be using a lot less. Don't drink alcohol at all.
I too find incredible moments of clarity, especially after a hard day.
Vaping means i dehydrate a lot quicker and need to drink more water. I'd say my balance is less than 100% probably due to residual effects if anything. Overall I'm doing ok. The knowledge i have gained over the years and still need is not yet affected by daily use. Possibly a good barometer for things.

After ~15 years of heavy use daily I've got short/long term memory loss but I used to take other drugs so I'm not sure. I've got a neuralogical disability and weed helps keep me out of a wheelchair ect. The desire to be alone is because of choosy beggars not weed. Also I'm a huge man baby, also unrelated (maybe).
As with everything, moderation is key, as a habitual smoker, smoking daily for many years through pipe or bong, minimal use of tobacco, I am unsure whether its caused or calmed my temper.
The mental addiction is apparent whenever I try to detox or take a break i.e, low mood, depressive thoughts, lack of appetite (physical?)
It's all perspective and a lack of dopamine production so I am aware of my low mood when I feel it but can be hard to pull away from without distraction, it comes to pass after a few days, though the mood swings and negativity have already done their damage.
I think I have developed a bit of a dependency on it, the only solution is a long break.
I have a total love/hate relationship with the plant but right now it keeps me calm, very calm.

Long term for me personally it's had negative effects on a huge scale. I am day 4 off weed and feel so happier. I have seen lots same similar. I am dreaming again. Gym and Swimming. Weed really kept and held me back all my life.
Similar to psychedelics, it brings anything I’m avoiding or ignoring to bare. Which can lead to both productive and counterproductive action. Overall I think it helps expand consciousness if you’re willing, appreciate nature and the fact you are part of it. Not something that’s alien and just here by fluke. Sometimes I think it activates something that throws subliminal tests at you. For instance with the munchies, I know not to eat veggie oils, colourants, refined sugar and anything processed/ not organic. But when stoned to the bone that bag of haribo or sitting doing nothing sure does appeal. if I cave and do the above, the next day I’m almost ashamed I let the gremlin win. But if I push through eat some fruit and go climb that mountain, I feel instantly fulfilled. I know this may be abit nonsensical but I’ve been sober this week😂
My short term memory isn’t what is used to be, and my short term memory isn’t that good either.
This is probably an old thread, but it’s been an interesting read. I relate to most of the comments.
I have to say I’m pretty sure my memory has been adversely affected, but it’s almost impossible to say for sure right? There’s loads of factors.
But, the benefits are pretty substantial like. The shift in perspective was huge for me, I think it’s why conspiracy guys are often stoners - there is a sense of enlightenment at times, as wanky as that sounds.
There’s something communal about smoking as well I think, and I think it tends to make people generally more community minded, nature friendly and left leaning. Could just be a correlation or whatever but it’s pretty cool imo.
Support your local lollipop man and save the whales.

Smoking weed helps me stay slim 🤣 I don’t get the munchies, I eat less, when I quit my snacking increases and I gain weight!

Any AI music makers out there?
I'd like to know what tools are out there for putting something together thank you my biggz
wouldn't this defeat the point of creating music if the AI dose it for you ??? then its not your creation ???
think of it relative to any instrument, the music won't exist without the human programming it. a song is a combination of several layers of these programming decisions.
even if you were to make an independent, self learning a.i. that makes all the decisions above someone would have to write that and someone else is likely going to use it as a track in their own thing. and the beat goes on.

XMAX V3 Pro vs. Crafty+

XMAX V3 Pro vs. Crafty+
I am making the jump to dry herb vaping. A little bit because smoking Js can't be good for my lungs, but mostly because I am a cheap MF who wants to double dip by eating the ABV.
Initially, I was going to go for the V3 as a 'decent for the price' entry level vape.
However, I have noticed that the Crafty+ is juuuuust about in my budget. Is it worth shelling the extra £70-100 or so?
Some key considerations:
1. I have no tolerance (I get pretty blasted smoking <0.1g), so I want something that gives finer control over how much of the bud is consumed in a session.
2. I want something easy to clean (for I am also a lazy MF).
3. I would be buying the V3 with the view of upgrading it eventually. Would the Crafty+ be something I'd be happy with longer term?
Much appreciate any input folks can give!

I bought a couple of £100 ish vvapes to start with and ultimately went for a crafty+. Wish I had gone straight for it at the start. Using the dosing capsules makes it easy and clean. I mak up a week's worth then just pop one in when needed.
The ease of draw and quality of vapour is great with the crafty.
I must admit I almost only vape live resin carts now. Like the hit and the discreetness of them.

Thanks for your input! I think if the Crafty+ saves me having to buy a second vape, then I view the extra £££ as money saved.
I went down a bit of a Firefly2 vs. Crafty+ rabbit hole, and the convention seems to be that the C+ is a little bit more newbie friendly.

Oh the Crafty is foolproof, the Firefly apparently has a ‘learning curve’ - always a red flag to me!😂
Mighty & Crafty have been around forever virtually unchanged basically because they got it so right straight off the blocks! Using a dosing capsule in the Crafty will mean you are using crazy small amounts and leave very little to clean- wipe out the cleaning unit (head) every couple of weeks. Yup- go Crafty👍
I’m currently suffering VAS over this:

Thanks pollypuff20! Nice thing about Crafty+ is that it comes with a dosing cap in the box. There is a hidden 'tax' with the V3 in that you have to buy a bunch of extra accesories.
That said, I am DROOLING over the design of the firefly. So much choice. 😫

I started with the hugely disappointing Black Mamba type, then jumped to the S&B Volcano which was a quantum leap, although I had the spare herb to justify filling the large chamber without stressing about running out. I then bought the S&B Mighty as it had a much smaller filling chamber. I assumed it would be a spare to the Volcano and somehow inferior. Within a few vapes on the Mighty, the Volcano was up up eBay!
I know your asking about the Crafty, this is a general vouch for Storz products and the Mighty is just as it's named. On the vape-temp side of things, I would start no lower than 185 and then upwards a few degrees. 165 is no good. I wouldn't worry about "wasting" the bud, a decent canister completed should get you decently baked and yield around 8 good hits.
The other thing to note is that the cloud quality (once you have a proper vape) is definitely linked to the type of bud you are using. I have has 2 different strains recently, no different to look at that have vaped totally differently and spent at way different times. Good luck. Z

Thanks Zoran! The bud I am smoking using is odd bits and ends I am trying to get through - perfect for experimenting with, as I don't care too much about wastage.
You get a very mellow high from 165. A little euphoric and relaxed, but still functional, rather than the 'zonked out and glued to my couch' high I was getting smoking. Sometimes that is a good thing, other times not so much, haha 😜
Maybe it is partly down to the curing / storage conditions, but you can easily tell if a bud wants to be vaped or not. A couple of puffs of good quality will hit you straight away, whereas others take a bit more.

Hi, just to be clear I meant that I have had two almost identical strains visually that have acted totally different when vaped: one produced huge clouds and the canister kept yeilding vapour for many blasts, wheras the other produced much more wispy, clear vapour. Both got you hammered though! Z.
I find damp/sticky weed produces more clouds than dry weed. Moonrocks are amazing!😶🌫️😶🌫️
UPDATE: I woke up today with an absolutely stinking head cold - def. feels like smoking has aggravated the symptoms. I thought 'sod this' and ordered a Crafty+.
Yeah... there is no comparison between smoking and the Crafty+. Blown out of the water in every aspect (the taste especially - now I get why people bang on about citrus notes!) Consider me a loyal convert! 😜
For anyone reading this because they are wondering which vape to get... even with my absolutely crappy technique, I got a good high off the Crafty (using only about half the weed I would smoking, to boot). If your budget can stretch, I would recommend.

165... I didn't put much in there, so I didn't want to burn through it quickly. I see what you mean by it being a sipper.
Fumes were a little thin, but that is probs down to technique more than anything.

Low temps max flavour, high temps max clouds. I tend to start at 185 increasing to 190 for subsequent hits. Top temps are for hash👍
Thanks again for all your help and advice pollypuff20 😁
Yeah, I am starting to experiment with higher temps, and find things a little more satisfying at around 180. I still would recommend using it at 165 - the flavour is better, and you still get a nice, very mellow feeling from it. But if you want to get dribbling high, the temp simply needs to go up. Am starting to play around with temp stepping and will report back from the field 🫡
I have found a good thing to do is take an almost, but not quite, done capsule and puff what is left at 200 before bed. Zonks you right out.

May or may not be a curveball but I'm a big fan of the Solo 2. Vapour is cool and tasty due to all glass pathway, 3hr battery life and exceptionally easy to load (literally just twist the stem into your weed) and clean (soak 1 piece in ISO and shake it with a bit of salt for a full thorough clean). Banging flower from LB vendors gets you a good 20min worth of sessions and always hits me for six.
Honestly though, whatever you buy you'll end buying others sooner rather than later. The VAS is real lol and they all have different pros and cons. They make your flower go a lot further but the units themselves soak up any savings if you're not careful. I'm already hoping at least one of three I have bookmarked have a Black Friday sale. If they don't...I'll buy them anyway 😂
Main thing for whatever you decide is learn how to properly vape a session device. Long, slow calm draws for 20-30 seconds then inhale again to push it to the bottom of your lungs. You'll be high as a kite using very little flower with that technique.
Grats on making the move. Once you're used to this you'll hate the burnt taste of combusting

It took me a while but just about 😂 its more of a breathing exercise at that point. I'm more of a 20 seconds and done kinda guy (erm...)
Thanks for the thoughtful post, Dayman! The Solo 2 also made the syjefroi181 shortlist, and I am still a wee bit tempted. I think V3 juuust beat it out for me, but only because Macbooks have spoiled me so and I need everything charged on USB-C.
Most vapes seem to demand a slower pull, dunno why. Will try your technique for sure.

The Crafty is a “sipper” so no 20 second draws required there. It comes down to conduction vs convection with the oven. The Crafty/Mighty is a hybrid where the conduction oven continually heats the weed.
On Demand mode the Tinymight 2’s convection oven makes it a “ripper” for longer draws, but also has a Session mode.
Interestingly the Firefly2+ recommends a 10 second inhale because it’s virtually breath activated convection. 🤓

Thanks again pollypuff20 :) I will eventually look into getting a higher-end on demand mode vape. From what I have heard, the on-demand capability of the V3 is a bit meh, so probs is better to invest in something like the Firefly (which looks great to have as an 'on the go' vape).
Oh god, this is how VAS starts, isn't it? 🤪

Can’t pick between tiny might 2 and mighty plus

Can’t pick between tiny might 2 and mighty plus
Any one able to help me pick, iv found cannabis later in life so my tolerance is minuscule. I have a xmax v3 and 3/4 hits sorts me out sometimes less.
I want a mighty or tm2 but feel like with my tolerance being so low I’ll end up wasting loads of bud. Having to load full caps for me not to fully extract them ! Any one got any input for me with these?

Hey buddy- yeah, I’ve got them both and there is a very simple but important distinction between them that I put like this:
The TM2 is a Ripper, the Mighty is a Sipper!
The TM2 is as close to a bong action that you will get with a portable vape. It’s not called a ‘Thermal Extraction Device’ for nothing- you hit it and it hits you back, really it’s as simple as that.
With the Mighty you can put your feet up. You sip casually and can reheat a bowl three even four times. My understanding has always been that the dosing capsules have a 0.1g load but even if it’s bigger you definitely don’t need to pack them. It’s an incredibly economical way to vape. It’s also far more versatile than the TM2 as you can create hash sandwiches, hash with cotton bacon, roulade with extracts- all types of tasty baking creativity without risking your oven.
My current schedule is to kick the evening off with a rip or two on the TM2. Then relax into things sipping the same strain in the Miighty. Personally I don’t use the capsules anymore for just weed, only if I’m getting creative in the baking department 👨🍳
If I could only have one it would definitely be the Mighty. It might be the ugly baby of the two but it’s survived so long because it does a bloody great job 🤩
Let us know what you decide👍

Loads on here with both who will chime in mate.
I got mighty and the little capsules as you can do smaller hits.
Great for me as I like smoking sips as Polly put it 😂
I load up a magazine of capsules and just switch em out through a day 👍
AMAZING Flavours and can start low to get different tastes and effects.
Battery is good for a long day abusing it, taking it on long trips fishing and no drama of it running out

Iv read the caps are 0.25/0.3 which is a lot bigger than I’m accustomed
To do you know if there’s a way to use less ? Iv seen they don’t work well unless fully packed

Work fine half packed at 0.1g mate. Just use little poker at bottom and no drama for me.
Or you can pack one, then get to temp. Have a few sips, turn off and sip as it cools.
Go again later on same keg if not gone crispy / burnt tasting on way out it works good. 👍
Doesn’t beat initial flavour bombs but then just load next one.
I’m sure a pro can confirm but you could prob also pack that stuff I swear they call bacon cotton 😂
Then put less in keg.

Cotton bacon and the Mighty is a great combo that can handle anything you put in it - bud, hash and concentrates. The name is weird but it's basically cotton wool you can use in the dosing caps if you want to put less bud in. I mainly use it for hash/concentrates as it saves so much mess/cleaning if you wrap whatever you're vaping in it. It was Polly who I first saw mention it.
It's high quality cotton fibre cut so it's tearable into US style rashers. Excellent stuff, available from Amazon, and it goes weirdly toasted in the cap when you pull it out.
If only I got the TM2, no longer would I be the receiver of jibes… “aawww is that the new vapemaster3000 aye pal?” 😂 the mighty does look a bit dated with it being so huge in hand
But seriously both devices are great at what they do. TM2 is more fragile with the glass stem, you’d struggle to break the Mighty if you tried as it’s a big solid lump.

Not used a Mighty, but the TM2 is an amazing vape. You dont use caps - the weed is vaped through a cooling unit, which you can adjust to contain as much or as little weed as you want - even a tiny amount. It extracts it all pretty evenly, so there's minimal waste.
It also works really well with the water adaptor and a bong - *massive* clouds from a tiny amount of weed that way.
Easy to clean/maintain and it looks great too.
Got mine towards the end of last year and haven't looked back. I love it

So my fella has the plus I believe but I’m mainly the one using it. You shouldn’t have to pack it I don’t think, but depending on what temperature you use it could be a pretty quick smoke lol
I've got the mighty and im thinking about taking the plunge on the venty.... that thing looks a machine
I have the xmax and the mighty. I did make the mistake of overpacking the mighty for a while when I got it.
My mighty likes to turn off about half way through a load, which is usually enough to help me sleep without too much of a weed hangover (depends on strength of weed), for me it keeps okay for later.
I found with the xmax I would always bang it all so I was actually going through more weed.
I haven't managed to master the sipping thing though as I don't think I have ever sipped anything, which is why I usually avoid spirits :)

Hash purity
Hash purity
I do love my hash and whilst a bit stoned the other day on some fabulous frozen static I was reminded of a post that was on here a few years ago where someone was saying that all hash is contaminated in some way and that to test this you basically pinch a tiny bit and chew it.
If it has grit in it when you chew - it’s contaminated. If it’s smooth it’s clean. They claimed this contamination was a relatively new phenomenon and that 5-10 years ago it didn’t happen.
Anyway there was a video post on a review site the other day where two American guys were reviewing hash and the discussion progressed to them talking about contamination.
One of them claimed that most of the hash in the USA, and I assume they mean dispo hash as well as black market, contains wood!! Wood! He said that an easy way to test is to put a small piece in pure alcohol and wait. If it dissolves to nothing it’s clean, however whatever material is left, if there is any, is definitely not good!
Do any Biggas have a routine for checking hash? I must admit, I don’t. I go for reliable sellers who only produce fine hash and go by the rule ‘good hash is expensive, bad hash is cheap’ however you occasionally stumble across some lovely commercial too.
Maybe it’s not so much of an issue now with a lot of quality statics, water and triple filtered hashes available in the uk, I was just curious to see if anyone tests their hash regularly and how they accomplish this. I don’t mean bubbles under flame or smell or texture , i just mean if you have a quick method to test purity. Damn that static made me ramble. 🤯

Hello. It was me that posted that a few years back. It’s still there. Check it out, some micro shots of 10/10 “hash” complete with contaminants. Also just because it’s smooth doesn’t mean it’s clean. Continue to be vigilant. Most of it is still shit. See a lot of reviews praising quite poor quality hash from people who should frankly know better. Thank god for people like THC23, and a couple of select others, they’ve got our backs.
Ah, hello there. The post always stuck in my mind for some reason. I think about it when purchasing my hash. Agree about THC23. Another good one on here is Hashlover420 who pops up now and again with some nice proper filtered bits. One of the best hash sellers that are no longer on here sadly was uk420. He’s still around just not here cos of the fees. Agree we all have to be vigilant! Stay well
Could it be true that the second you start messing with that pure green nug things start to go downhill? 🫣🤓
I mean ‘extraction’. It sometimes seems that every method of ‘extraction’ has a downside and the greater the strength the bigger it gets?
What is ‘natural’? hand pressing?….filtering?….washing?….bleaching?… ethanol?.. alcohol?.. chemicals?.. synthesising?…
Let’s be honest we are getting all of those and possibly worse in the race to greater strength…
Even we Biggas are probably not making the best of decisions and I include myself in that….
Let’s be careful out there! 😉

I hear you. It was always simpler back in the day - hash (decent rocky, red and gold seal etc) or weed (if you were lucky - nice bit of sensi occasionally) and that was it. Happy days.
I don’t grow very often these days but managed one in the garden this year and made my own fresh frozen 220/73u ice water hash and it knocks spots off most I’ve tried this year even before the ‘cure’.
The chew it and if it’s gritty thing is bollocks I think. I’ve got some very nice gritty Moroccan right here. 🙂
Some of the nicest hash I’ve ever had hasn’t bubbled under a flame, it was very filled with plant material. And was very roughly made. IE. How the Moroccans make hash.
There are different grades. The lower grades tend to have all kinds of stuff in them - not deliberate contaminants. Just down to the traditional production methods.
Sand, dust, hair. All sorts in it.
Soul.
It’s an old process, done in often relatively harsh conditions. I’d call it terroir. 🤷♂️
It’s obvious when you have some good Maroc. Also very obvious when it’s been adulterated. I’ll concede.
Good Charas is full of dead skin. Grit, dust, fingernails. All sorts. You’d question it’s authenticity if it wasn’t slightly, erm, fibrous.
It’s not contaminated. It is what it is. An artisanal, hand made product. You can chase purity all the way to rosin. That’s amazing. And I fucking love it.
Hash is allowed to be a little bit less consistent. As long as you aren’t picking bits of tyre or plastic bag out of it. And it smells natural and looks natural (break it in half. You’ll be able to tell. Straight away, if it’s satisfying to look at. When you smell it. It just smells like weed Marmite. Concentrated weed. You’ll know) - and if it gets you where you need to be. Of course.
Pop a small chunk in a pipe. Have a little toke. No harm. No foul. Again. If you got this far with shit hash. Then fuck me. No hope for you is there? But anyway. If it tastes like creamy, spicy joy. You are golden.
If it tastes like chemicals and broken dreams. Incinerate it and never speak of it again.
A long time ago. In a reality far, far away. A mate of mine bought a bar.
It was henna. Beautifully crafted. Smelt great. On the surface. A decent bar. You really couldn’t fault the manhours that had gone into it.
He got it home. Cried. 9 ounces of the purest fucking green. But not in the way you want.
This was 30 years ago. I bet he still has it in his loft. The one that got away. Knowing him. He still probably has a cheeky toke on it. He could never admit that if he sold it to his customers (which we talked him out of doing) it wouldn’t be good.
He’s still a tiny bit convinced that he can still move that bar to this day. 🤣
He does still smoke a fuck ton of weed. So I guess it’s fair enough.
Bless him.
So let that be a cautionary tale to you kids. 🙄😂
We smoked fuck out of it anyway. 🤷♂️ At least until we could get an 1/8th of anything else. This was the great drought of 1993. Terrible times. Terrible.
So adulterated hash is nothing new.
Don’t be too hard on the hash.
Adulterating CBD hash with distillate? Shit like that?
Nah. That’s low. Seems weird as well. Because the barrier for entry on hash is higher than other things.
Makes kids easier to grift I guess.
Don’t really know what decent hash is. Here’s some “hash”.
Different buzz to their ecstasy pipes I guess. The Clarky Cat and the Jessop, Jessop, Jessop just not hitting as hard as it once did.
No amount of Cake. Not even if they scoffed the lot. Could possibly be as good as some CBD Hash(?) soaked in cheap Delta-8 distillate.
I mean. I have so many fucking questions. Hopefully someone might be able to answer them.
I’m too old and knackered to be bothered.
I just realised I wrote a whole wall of text.
Testament to Piffs Tropical Runtz. Fuck me I’m stoned.

Syd, I hate to burst your bubble, but, hashish is actually a resin and does not crunch. Glad you’re enjoying your Moroccan, but it is adulterated.
Some of the nicest ‘hash’ you’ve ever had, nice as it was, is resin glands mixed with plant material. Hash by definition is the pure resin gland. The Moroccans as a general rule of thumb don’t make it rough (bad) they take great pride and use fine filtered screens. A double zero screen is approx the same size as a 73u screen. The best charas most certainly does not contain finger nails and all sorts, the best is made with care and love, any fingernails and all sorts contamination would be religiously avoided. Skin, spit and bits of plant. Agreed. Side note. Avoid eating charas due to the risk of TB infection.
There are different grades as you say. The 1st and 2nd grades will be pure resin, 3rd and hopefully no more after that are started to get contaminated with plant material. By the way, have you ever chewed a cannabis leaf? Or any leaf? They don’t crunch. The lower grades don’t start having dust and dirt (god knows what else) accidentally getting in. They managed to keep the good grades clean. They are deliberately added to bulk up the lower grades of resin, and then sold purely for profit to people who don’t know what real cannabis is. Traditional production methods don’t allow contaminants to get in. Shady production methods do.
Hash is not allowed to be less consistent!! Otherwise it is no longer hash. The goal is to get 100% purity.

Don't think I've ever even thought about testing it, or would even know how?
I remember reading in Snowblind by Robert Sabbag them testing for purity with 2 methods: dropping into cold water and seeing how it dissolved, and heating under flame in a spoon to see how it melted. Then his choice of cutting agent was Borax, as it mimicked this the best. But that wasn't hash.
No production method involving humans can ever be lacking in impurities, it's just a case of how much and what, and how much expense, time and care you take to remove them, or prevent them being introduced in the first place. At least there's not half a carrier bag in the hash these days, and hash on here after smoking UK dealer commercial hash until quitting it years ago was and still is an utter revelation.

i think I saw that vid. Was it in German or something?
I'm unsure if it was the same vid since oyu asked the question. But in the vid I saw, I think they say something about putting the hash in isopropyl and anything that doesn't dissolve is a contaminent?

Was it in German? Damn! Could have been actually and I was just reading the subtitles. But it sounds like the same one, putting it in isopropyl and anything left is dirty. Wood though!
Too many replies in this thread going way off topic
he isn't talking about the minor impurities of a hand made product, of course we all know that we don't need paragraphs of your psuedo stoner expertise rambling about that
he is talking about INTENTIONAL contamination, and it being something that we should be vigilant about, of course it's massively different to unintentional contamination which for some reason everyone is trying to explain here.. he's not talking about that.

Nothing like a bit of stoner science to pass the time 😂 If you can’t get that here. Then I wonder where you can.
Absolutely be vigilant about adulterated stuff. I never said don’t be. My point was that I have had what others might consider crappy low grade hash. That has actually been very good. 🤷♂️ When you have been smoking hash for the best part of 35 years. You see all sorts.
I have picked a fingernail out of some Charas before. 😂 Amsterdam bought stuff too.
I’ll shut up now. 🤣 I’ve been proved wrong. Fantastic. I feel like I have learned something. To err is human. All I know is that I know fuck all. I love it when posts like Harryhogans spell out the facts. Helps us all learn more. Respect 🙏
But then I also wasn’t a rude ass. So there’s that. Funny how some people do take themselves very seriously. Lighten up man. It’s just an opinion. Wrong. Right. No need to be an arse. It honestly doesn’t matter too much. It’s just a bit of pot. No need to be a shithead about it. Maybe you just got outta bed the wrong side. Sorry about that man. Not quite sure why I deserved your ire Hesh my man.

Is my cart fucked, or salvageable?

Is my cart fucked, or salvageable?
So, what's gone on here? Haven't used this for a week even, and on low voltages too, and now it's barely drawing through at all. The change from a clean yellow with a clear watermelon flavour at the start to this burned toasty draw over time never happened with another 100% live resin cart I had, and that was smokeable to the end (or as near as, anyway).
You couldn’t pay me to suck on that!🤢
You could transfer it as pixel says, personally I would be introducing it to Mr.Bin….or in your case M.Le Bin….

If it is I'd be truly amazed. I'm thinking at least one past instance of it being delivered with great disdain, channelling Uncle Monty from Withnail & I.
I shall introduce it to M.Le Bin in a couple of days. I think there was a clog or something? Big bubble formed on the side then it started working again. Very, very toasted now... A hint of noisette, slightly too long in the roasting pan.
We’re weird so when we use carts we spam them button instead of holding it, that normally stops this happening. In a way this could be an indication is genuine though. Extract vapes are a lot more sensitive. I remember ruining my first after two puffs, it did exactly this.
Blinkers ruin extract vapes
Blinkers ruin extract vapes
So spamming the button is 'blinking'? I was just using this (so I thought) normally by holding it down for a second or two for puffs and this happened.
No, blinkers are where you take the biggest puff, most carts blink/flash to let you know it’s not giving you anymore. Hence, Blinker.
Ah, okay. I wasn't doing that. Sorry, a lot of this beyond just smoking weed or hash in joints or bongs is still very new to me, as is the terminology. Just choosing an ice bong is currently crippling me mentally due to all of the options.
Was this an RR cart? I had a few of mine go like this, they changed the carts pretty soon after. Kept getting blocked and would go burnt like this
It's not tasty any more, but sort of works. What's the technique I need to use to make the thing draw through? The low draw puff thing ain't working. I'm in France for the rest of the week, then it's going in a bin before the border if it's not finished anyway?
See how the black shit kind of whisps out of the hole into the clear? I saw one of these tiny little whisps coming up from the inlet holes on my cart as it was almost empty and I took this as a sign not to refill this cart as I assumed it was the coil burning up.
Be good to hear what it actually is from experienced biggas though!

On a full unused cart, the oxidising can occur if the coil isn't primed, common with thick oils.
My battery has a preheat function which I use at the start of the day. Am I doing it wrong? This is only the 2nd cart I've ever smoked, and both have been 100% live resin and I've done the same with both.
Oh, I've paid full attention to that hole. It was where bubbles used to form as the colour became darker and darker...
A coil shouldn't burn up halfway through a cart when not using high voltages, surely? I'm clueless. Maybe it does? Very poor experience though, despite the 'premium' wood finish.

It will if not enough product is hitting the coil. Then it’ll leech out the black carbon from the burnt cotton.
Always make sure the cart is ceramic before you buy. So many vendors on here using eliquid carts for distillate.
This is not how to do it. If the cart itself wasn’t around a fiver then you’ll get problems from about halfway down the cart as not enough product gets through the hole to the coil. Cotton won’t absorb enough for it to keep up.

Sorry to just jump in. Hello everyone!
Deep breath. I’m lonely with too much shit to say. I’m not mad. Please don’t get me banned again.
I didn’t really think my whole moniker through fully. I’ll admit.
Here’s the thing. Feel free to jump in at any time.
I’ve been around since the early, early days of vaping nicotine. When it was all hand built stuff. Cartomisers. Horrible stuff like that.
There was (and still is) a highly bespoke and handbuilt nicotine vaping scene. These guys know how to vaporise anything. Trust me. We’d hand build stainless steel mesh coils in our Genesis atomisers. Which were hand turned on lathes. In highly limited quantities, by rare artisans, who could both precision turn beautiful devices, but also happened to want to give up smoking. A truly rare, remarkable and beautiful thing.
The eliquid market was crazy too. So many flavours you couldn’t dream of getting now.
… kind of the opposite of weed.
Which back then was obviously small-batch produced.
Pluid. Grant’s Custard, Boba’s Bounty. Halcyon days. Shit was changing hands for serious money.
Still is.
Look at Divine Tribe. These guys understand the crossover between ecig tech and cannabis vaping tech fully. They recommend DNA boards. Who have been the Apple of regulated vaping for a decade.
When all of those grassroots ecig people realise that the cannabis people want efficient vaping, I think the floodgates will really open.
Lest we forget. That fucking Pax. Are Juul. Who are in turn owned by big fucking cigarette.
Judas cunts.
Aaanyway.
You can make your own coil. To whatever resistance and heat output you desire. Ecig people have been doing it for over a decade. Look into it. Genesis atomisers. Hellfire atomisers. That sort of thing. Works of art.
Anyone who understands the dynamics of eliquid knows that with distillate. It’s too viscous to treat like an eliquid. So you have to rely on a lot of melting for it to get to the coil to vapourise. What’s important here is the pre-heat and residual heat.
With cotton. Or even silica wicking. All that happens is that the distillate sits on the surface. Some soaks in. But it hardens. So the wick degrades over time. Also. Sugars. With a metal coil sugars carbonize and make a hard coating around the coil. This is why you only get halfway down the cart before it goes to shit.
Ceramic is better. As the Divine Tribe stuff has shown. And Puffco and folks like that. The whole crucible gets hot. Lots of pre-heat to get things liquid, and lots of residual heat to make sure everything sits back where it should be.
This method was designed originally for use in e-cigarettes. But it’s perfect for oils. This is the fundamental difference. The oil pools in a ceramic cup. Rather than wicking onto a metal coil. With ceramic. You might get the odd burnt taste. But if you do a pre-heat for a few seconds. Usually this burns off pretty fast.
Metal coil. The burnt taste will never go. Once it’s there.
Nicotine is water soluble.
THC is not.
So. All these THC eliquids are going to be shit. The Glycols are not enough to fully break the oil down. PEG may. But in the ecig community, everyone steered clear of that. It was deemed to be unsafe. Caused respiratory issues in some people.
So these THC “thinner” liquids you can get.
Potentially not safe.
Anyone selling them?
Fuck them. Amateurs. Do not buy.
What you need to check is. Is it good product (on here. Generally. Yes it is) - then. Is it a top of the range ceramic cart that’s been designed for purpose. Or is it a cotton wicked cheapo cart not designed for purpose.
If the vendor can’t or won’t tell you. Then you take your chances. Most of the good cart vendors on here take a true and rare pride in what they sell.
Beware the bargains. You very much get what you pay for on here.
And with carts. It’s really fucking unknown anyway what the long-term effects are from solvent-derived extracts. I’d not really bother with distillate. It’s all too unregulated and unknown what inhaling non-water soluble, concentrated oils into your lungs will do to you over the long term. Probably nothing good.
It’s very much at your own risk.
Now I’m old. With responsibilities? Nah. It’s a young person’s thing. Tried it. Liked it. But coz I’m old. If it’s unsafe it’ll kill me way faster than it will you.
And it’s not even nearly Halloween
That’s a whole ‘nother rabbit hole.
Bit of flower. You just know where you are. Even slightly shit flower. Like the OG Kush I got from on here a couple of weeks ago. Soooo many seeds.
Which is a shame as the weed itself was actually pretty fire.
In the Dynavap. Whoosh. Oh. I think I’ll have another. Hello second Dynavap. I bought for you to be the one I might turn to.
Rarely have to.
I’d rather have shit, low grade weed. Than no weed.
A gram of OG Kush. Posted. For a fiver.
I could give a shit about the seeds. The weed was great. Proper Kush. Yes. There were 27 seeds in the gram. Which is a lot.
But the bit of actual weed I ended up with was genuinely a very, very nice bit of weed.
My fingers hurt. It kind of is rocket surgery. Be thankful we can even get high in our fully got-it-all-totally-backwards world at all. Especially as openly as this place I guess.
Respect. 🙏

It's not the coil burning up but the oil oxidising. I have reused carts that have gone like this but they do tend to discolour again around halfway. The nectar ones from Amazon do not seem to have this problem. They also have a 2 year warranty.
When looking into buying my own empty carts I saw many bad reviews about carts being doa or burning up before halfway through. When filling my own I’ll stick to 0.5ML carts to avoid em changing taste before finishing but I’ve had great luck with 1ml pre-filled carts on here honestly
Think my original purchase is a re-buy. Should have ordered another from them but this was already in my stash.

Seen it’s a placebo online and also reports of it changing peoples lives . Iv got depression and fuck all works so it’s got to be worth a try any one any genuine experiences with it!
? Iv never used mushrooms or any thing other than opiates and weed so I’m a bit nervous

Don't listen to naysayers. Everyone is different. The benefits of Lion's Mane and niacin stacking with psilocybin is also highly beneficial for brain health. Low and slow, find your level. Research the Paul Stamets stack.
I seen you mention this elsewhere, spot on using it in conjunction with lions mane and niacin good old Stamets!.
I know that double blind studies in the US have shown effectiveness of pyslobin in treatment resistant depression which is great.
But like every one has said it’s no magic bullet.

Not a magic bullet but a very helpful tool alongside other things. If you only read one book, make it "Live more, think Less" by a P Callesen and look into Metacognitive Therapy. Such a simple approach with really really high success rates, over 80%. Made total sense where other stuff just seemed overwhelming.
The whole point of a placebo is that it still works, so that's more a reason to do it than anything.
I went through a horrific breakup earlier this year, end of a intense 5 year relationship. After quite a bit of research I grabbed a mushroom bar from here.
First few days I was still smoking heavily and on the back end of stopping SSRIs so I didn't notice much. After a few more days I noticed a visible improvement in my mood, I felt like things didn't phase me and I was able to get on with my day without being too attached to my thoughts. End of the day tended to be a little somber but I quickly realised I should stop smoking weed while the dose was active.
After the first week I increased my dose from 0.2 to 0.4, best decision I have made, I was able to dig into my past/trauma without my emotions overwhelming me. It didn't take away my depression but it gave me the state of mind to work through the reasons while I felt how I did, and make a plan to process them.
I made a list of the big topics I wanted to work through and for each one planned a small trip, with microdosing afterwards to integrate what I had learned and thought about.
I stacked with niacin and lions mane, I was also eating pretty much whole foods vegan and not smoking tobacco which I feel helped me have the full benefits of my doses.
I'm not dosing anymore, I do therapy trips every few weeks when I feel the time is right but microdosing was absolutely the start of my journey of mushrooms to improve my mental health.
I'm now at the point where I don't really feel like my issues affect me and am volunteering in mental health support.
Do you research, listen to your body and mind and don't go in with any expectations other than to take whatever comes in good faith and understand that mushrooms are a small part of the journey to healing.
Big love, Jedi

Thanks for that, I’m really really anxious about trying my first dose do you get any noticeable affects on the first one with no tolerance? I’m a bit of a nerd with stuff and have never used drugs other than weed and a few prescription pain killers. I had a horrific trip on salvia once that messed me up for a bit haha it’s always put me off these types of substances which I know sounds daft because the premise of micro dose means it’s subtle to not something you are meant to notice
It's that time of the year again! Can't wait to go picking.
I swear by microdosing. It really helped improve my mood and my outlook on thinks, like a natural antidepressant without all the side effects! Also helped me with my cravings for cannabis and kept my mood under control when I went without

As far as I know the majority of the research on improvements shown for people with depression from mushrooms is for full doses, not microdosing. Imperial did a study recently showing that the effects of microdosing were at the same level as a placebo. I would consider investigating tripping safely and starting with a low dose to get familiar with it.
From personal experience I can confirm this from a single 1.6g dose that I took 2 months ago after not doing shrooms for over 20 years. My underlying baseline of being 'a bit sad' was reset to neither feeling sad nor happy. I assume this is how neurotypical people feel in general, but I haven't for decades. All gone and reset in one trip. Your mileage and brain chemistry may vary.
They made a difference to mine and I've had countless dms from people saying their life has changed for the better.
Are you currently taking saris? They'll be competing for your serotonin receptors and the shrooms will do nothing. Just something to keep I'm mind buddy.
Whatever path you take. I wish you all the best on your way to better days 🙏

No personal experience but my friend orders his shrooms off here and swears by microdosing. I think the reason for the conflicting accounts is the highly subjective nature of the effect which is probably down to brain chemistry.
He absolutely says it removes his brain fog and allows him to regulate his emotional response to stress.
Mushrooms are very safe and I think there is nothing to lose in trying it.

microdosing is bullshit, like homeopathy. still might work, mind, but so might orange smarties and they taste a lot better. pretty sure neither will kill you.
an actual proper dose of psilocybin can function as a sort of emotional master reset - if you just can't seem to snap out of a depression even though your problems are in the past, it can be highly effective (speaking from my own experience) - if you still have problems in your life, though, it can make them seem much worse and make you much worse at dealing with them.
also, tripping when you are depressed is likely to be a truly fucking awful experience that has you praying for it to end (it will, but not for ages). if you are expecting to have a bad time, you will, anxiety is what causes bad trips.
p.s. you do know that weed and very especially opiates both cause depression, right?

Yes well aware of opiates and weeds effects. I use weed once a day at night now to help after work
I don’t actively take pain meds these days btw

Psilocybin is now in stage 3 trials for the treatment of depression as well as many other issues that start in the mind. The proof success is out there in abundance. Also there's a lot more to be learned from a bad trip than another experience I've had. I had 2 bad trips that helped me to address the real cause of problems I'd had for years. To compare microdosing magic mushrooms at a dose that is at a level that a subtle change in perception can be felt isn't the same as adding a drop of an active ingredient to a few litres of water as one would in homoeopathy. That being said the trials for psilocybin have covered microdosing with shaky results so I need to look at what they're considering a microdose. 0.1 grams of a decent strain is enough to improve my mood and actually feel a chemical shift without rendering me useless for the day. Maybe that's more than this studies did.

Do you feel obliged to smoke?

Do you feel obliged to smoke?
If you've been smoking for a while, do you feel like you have to keep smoking? Maybe due to medical reasons or just pure addiction. Also do you see yourself still smoking in the next half of your life. I'm 25 so for me to think that I could be still smoking weed when I'm 50 doesn't entertain me, it makes me want to stop before it gets to that.
I'm 45, I've been regularly consuming cannabis in some way now for at least 28 years and I have no intention of stopping unless I'm somehow forced to.
I've quit various things in my adult life, including a 24-year long tobacco habit which is notoriously tough to kick, and I don't think my prolonged love for weed is due to addiction.
I've lived with mental health issues since my early teens and the Nineties weren't exactly the most enlightened when it came to those matters. No access to like-minded souls via the internet at the time and a total lack of understanding within general society led to my symptoms being mostly misinterpreted and left unaddressed. Even my teachers at school made things worse through sheer ignorance, and I began to feel there was no relief to be had.
The first time I smoked proper weed, that changed forever. My thoughts stopped going in 20 different directions at once at 100 miles per hour. The chatter that was similar to a bunch of detuned radios in my head distilled themselves into a single train of thought and, for the time in ages, I actually felt in control of my own mind.
It genuinely seemed like an awakening so I made sure it wasn't just a fluke by trying again a few times (proper science needs experimentation 😉). I've used it ever since and can't envisage a time when I won't want it in my life.
Like anything worth having, I believe it requires some level of moderation and caning it all day, every day is probably not going to do you any favours. It used to be the first and last thing I did each day, as well as any available opportunity in between, but my tolerance got so high that I couldn't and I lost the only pleasure I had at the time.
I learned after that to respect it and dial it back a bit. I take t-breaks when I feel the need and while I would say I'm probably addicted, I wouldn't say that I'm dependent on it. I suppose it depends on individual motivations for using cannabis but I'd say I'm definitely a lifer. 💚

Thanks Ed, this actually changed my perspective on things. Your comment about "while I would say I'm probably addicted, I wouldn't say that I'm dependent on it" made me realise than you can still have an addiction whilst keeping it managed. I guess a big part of being addicted to something is making sure it doesn't get worse.
I have a similar situation to you, mental health issues since a child but I have various bone issues too. I would have to agree with everything you've said. It's a massive relief to have something that understands you, even if it can't speak. Do you tend to have t-breaks much?
Thanks for sharing your side of the story Ed❤️

Yeah, I think addiction and dependency are often used interchangeably but they're not the same thing.
You can be addicted to anything that gives you a buzz/rush - chocolate, gambling, sex, shopping, they're all addictive. That just means you want to do it a lot though. The danger starts when the urge to do that 'something' becomes your overriding priority over everything else, at any cost.
Being honest, my next t-break is long overdue. I usually try for at least one every few months but depends on whats going on in life. Even a day or two without makes a difference for me so it doesn't need to be weeks of abstinence!
Hope you find the balance you're looking for, take care buddy.

I agree, if anything us as humans are addicted to many things that we use on a daily basis. The internet really is one of them, I can imagine it's difficult for anyone to put their phone or laptop down nowadays.
I agree, I usually have a week maybe depending on if I have money to buy more. I think the whole not being able to buy and not being able to not smoke are two separate things however. It's only being forced to not smoke is why I'm not. I should try not smoke even when I have money and see if that helps.
Thanks once again Ed, have a good week!

Oh, sweet summer child. You'll change your mind as you age, no doubt. My best dealer was in his late 50s when I was around your age and he used to come clubbing with us. Was like going out with your mate's Dad who just happened to get the best damp, yellow, piss smelling speed known to man. 2 dabs of that out of the bag and you'd be off your tits for most of the night/day.
So I've been smoking weed now for about 28 years. Many other drugs too, but I've never done opiates as I have a massively addictive personality. No doubt some vendors on here may think I'm addicted, based on my purchase levels, but I quit for 7 years and didn't smoke a thing, other than a couple of puffs on a joint a couple of times during that period. I'm on holiday now and I haven't used the nicotine patches that I brought with me. Started smoking joints again in January this year, and I'm back to my 1/2oz+/week smoking level. Roughly 8 joints a day, maybe with extra hash and whatnot. Brought a cart with me to France, and for the first few days I was getting so fucking high off it constantly. Got well over half of it left, but I've found I've been smoking it less today. Is my addiction to nicotine? If it is, how can I just stop? Haven't had any since Wednesday last week, and don't want any.
Christ, this is as long and rambling as some of my reviews, isn't it? Sorry, can't help myself.
tl;dr Don't assume that you'll feel any different in 25 years time. You'll be almost exactly the same person mentally, just tempered by time and aching more with less free time for yourself.

I remember speaking to you privately about your 7 year break. I actually told quite a few mates about it as it really intrigued me how easy it was to get your tolerance back even after all that time. It shows how easy we can get used to things. It's my whole saying of "a footballer can have a year break and still come back into the game". Do you smoke cigarettes on their own? I personally smoke weed and roll ups. I notice that when I have weed I don't want to smoke fags at all, when I'm out of weed, I smoke fags to get that feeling of me smoking something. If you are still smoking fags when smoking weed too, there's a chance it is the nicotine.
Thanks for the reply Rux😊
Thanks for the reply Rux😊
When I quit in 2016 I'd progressed to smoking fags (or, 'straights', as I was recently mocked by a young lady for using in a joint) on their own and needed to take nicotine patches with me on night shifts. I was using patches when I was trying to quit and when I went to change one after work I didn't have one to take off. I'd forgotten to put one on and hadn't realised. I didn't put another patch on. Had to Google at one point 'can you fart yourself to death?' Google and experience suggests not, other than in very extreme circumstances. Spent years saying 'not fags' if people asked if I smoked (depending on the audience) and I can genuinely say that again.
I guess the only real way of knowing is if you were to be without bud. That's the only reason I know that it's the bud I crave and not the cigs (I guess technically it's just the smoke I crave but the weed is obviously a lot better/nicer to smoke than a cig). If you were to go without bud now you've started it back up again and notice you smoke a lot of cigs now then that would probably determine the issue.
Since you started have you gone without much?
Each time you go without the more easier it is to deal with the next time.
I go without for up to a few days every fortnight.
i look at it as my medicine, whereas when i started smoking heavy in my late 20s it was just for the buzz.
You smoke enough of it and it becomes a way of life, for me to quit i would need to change my life and right now i can't see me doing that.
You're 25, as you get older you'll see more and more how dark, petty and evil the world really is, and that puts more perspective on our hobby, which harms no-one else but ourselves tho it heals more than it hurts.
Canna is a plant given to us by the Creator, to take the edge off this nasty world, unlike alcohol (i refer to it by it's real name ethanol) which only helps add to the carnage we see.
It's not addictive it's just a very useful and pleasant herb, it has the power to open eyes unlike ethanol which only blinds.
You're 25 you shouldn't be thinking beyond next week. Work hard, be kind to your brothers and sisters in this life, appreciate nature and the wonderful animal companions we have, and at the end of the day all that matters is your health. Health above all, don't eat their tainted food with carcinogenic nasties, know what you're putting into your body, and know there are good people on this earth that do care.

I think the whole "you're only young" comment is why most of us are so messed up later on in life😂But I do get what you mean. It's just in my eyes, there's no harm in making a change you feel may be beneficial later on in life. Age is all but a number, it's how you have lived your life is what matters. An 18 year old could have been through a lot more than a 35 year old for example meaning they would have more of an understanding of the repercussions of their actions over the elder that has potentially had their life go at a steady upwards pace. It doesn't make any of them wrong for being how they are but their mindsets may be completely swapped around from what you would expect. This is why I would rather figure it out now then when it's too late for it to matter. I feel people should alleviate from basing issues of age or even life in general off of age. There's plenty of teenagers nowadays that completely throw me off with how much they know/care about their body. Believe it or not, it's not a big thing to smoke anymore. Kids don't idolise it as they used to. Maybe that's because of all the balloons they've been doing but that's a different subject. From what we think may be okay, others may not. Usually we consider that to be the the shift from the eldest to newer generation however it's now the other way round. The whole "worry about it when you're older" mindset is gone now as people understand the repercussions more. Whether that's due to the internet and just more access to information now I'm not sure.
In terms of the breaks, I do have quite a lot of them. I'm a registered medical user (now) so I use it just to be able to get on with my day. When I started at 14, the buzz is all that mattered. In 10/11 years, my mindset has already changed in terms of how I feel about smoking. In another 10, the same could happen. I do agree that each time I have a break, I feel closer and closer to quitting. But it's so easy to get back into the day 1,2,3 cycle again. I guess it's more of a case of not wanting to be smoking still when I'm 50 rather than "if" I'm going to be smoking then.
I really appreciate your response 😊

I wouldn't advise anyone to start smoking canna, but for those that do i've not much advice as i'm in same boat and happy with my choices.
I think whatever you do you'll make the right choice when it comes, there's always another option to what lies in front of you, always.
Stay Blessed, Alleyne.👊

Passing uk drug test
Hey biggas
So I’ve been a smoker for around 5 years (daily for the past year). I’ve been for a job interview and they’ve told me I’ll be spot drug tested. I think it’s pretty certain (correct me if I’m wrong) that I’ll have to give it up but how can I quickly rid my system of it so it doesn’t show up. I have about a week before I start so no clue when I’ll be tested

Do you have any conditions that warrant a UK medical cannabis prescription? If so take the plunge and make an appointment. It covers loads of issues.
There is fake piss and stuff you can take but you need some advance warning. Our unions dont allow random drug tests at my employers. They tried last year and it was shut down at once.
Fake urine in bag with heat pad to get correct temperature, it's called Quick Fix Belt Kit and you buy it from Urine Lick web site. I used to wear one everyday for work but never had to use it though. My work now do a finger print test which only detects use up to 16 hours before test. So I only smoke when off work now.
I had that a few years ago. A week isn't really long enough to clear your system. I had advance warning of the test but made an excuse and cancelled the first appointment to buy more time. I stopped smoking for about 28 days and went to the gym most days, did a lot of treadmill running and what ever I could to make me sweat. The day of the test I drank several litres of water, an occupational nurse followed me into the toilets and watched me from behind to make sure I pissed into a cup. Luckily the test came back clear. The job lasted 5 years before I eventually got sacked for being crap at it! 😁
I’m a big guy so was thinking of just doing a protein shake diet for a couple of week’s and hope the big drop in weight will mostly rid my system. Guess I’ve just gotta hope it’s a saliva test. Mad how that turned out for you though
From us peeps, gator aid and drink lots of water and iron tablets. Iron tablets for colour gator aid because they test for people over hydrated and it apperently replacess lost electrolights. But saying that I would presume a rehydration pack would work
Cannabis proteins bind themselves to blood cells, they can take anything up to three months to clear your system dependant on weight, age, metabolism, how long you’ve been smoking etc.
As a rule of thumb if you want to cleanse quickly try to drink your recommended amount of water daily, eat healthy foods and exercise.
Urine tests and be very thorough, they are sensitive enough to detect a drug from one drop of urine in a swimming pool allegedly!
I found cutting out entirely then gentle jogging three times a week and water will cleanse you fully after two months if you’re a daily toker.
A week might be a bit optimistic?

Nobody should be urinating in a swimming pool. Even one drop is too much in my opinion. It's just not my cup of tea and is a far worse offence than doing drugs! 😁🤣😆
Cleansing drink, if you are a heavy user with high toxins buy two bottles and you take one and a half 1 hour before your test. You have to follow the instructions and drink a lot of water two days before. I've tested it with drug kits bought off the Internet and got negative results on dry runs
Thank you for this, it really is helpful. My concern is though, with them specifically stating it’s a “spot test” I’m wondering if I’d have time to drink this. I wonder what my rights would be
The timeline for detecting marijuana is vast and can vary from 1 day up to 90 days. piss test can pick it up for up to 4 weeks .... But if you got a perscription for cbd or take cbd then that could give a false posative test result because all cbd has trace amounts of thc in it.
I do tree surgery in UK, and spot checks only happen if an accident happens, depends on your industry too.
For this product you do really need to know when it is most likely they will test you, with a new employment you would hope that that would be on the first day or in the first week or them actually telling you the specific date/time. Some employers insist on a pre work medical to be undertaken which is when they normally would carry it out. Not ideal but you could buy 7 bottles for every day of your first week to try and cover yourself but that is the only way I can see when not knowing the exact time.
Other tips are sauna/steamrooms, drinking pure water (over 3L per day) take b12 vitamins to make your urine yellow again. Eat healthy prior to the test, a few days before test refrain from exercise as you don't want to put more thc (from your fat) into your pee. Hoping for the best for you 👍

have been piss tested a lot over the years so a few thoughts
it takes a max of 28 days to get weed out of your system but thats only if you are really fat
you can flush by drinking tons of water and diluting the sample but its not very effective
if you do give a sample dont give them the start or the end of the stream but take it mid stream
it takes most people about a week and a half of not smoking for your piss test to start showing as clean
good luck bud !
the shit you learn in rehab when they test you every time you come back after leaving the site

This why I have to be self employed contractor, because I love a smoke, but lads who take coke pass drug test every time, If it's a '48 hour swob test', you can easily pass that, just stop smoking for a day or 2, have a shower before test, mouth wash etc, your 100% pass them, if it's a piss test you got no chance, you will need months off and need to do detox, If you can some how find out from someone who works there, I know you can't have that convo straight away with the lads at work, but 1 of them is bout to be on a level, the key is to find out the style of test, if it's a 48 hour one or a piss test.
The timeframe I always had in my head for clearance is 4 weeks? I have friends in the US who've used products that are supposed to aid clearance and/or mask any testing and they've passed tests using those. Not sure of the timeframe they stopped smoking beforehand though, or what they used, but I can ask if you like. They'll be US products though and unlikely to be shipped here within a week.
Depends on the drug test. AIUI urinalysis could detect metabolites for upto 4 weeks I believe.
Saliva test is less sensitive and a moderate to heavy user would likely be clear in something like 72 hours to a week.
Hair follicle and blood tests would be unusual for a spot drug test but can detect for upto 3 months.
Is the nature of the testing for health and safety reasons? That is normally the only justification permittable in UK law.

Agh, I was afraid of that. Guess I’m down and out before I even start. It is for health and safety yeah.
Bare in mind though friend drinking too much water can be dangerous.
Do a little research from Google on how to flush safely for a drug test.

how many hours do you sleep?
7 generally if less than that by Friday I'm knackered especially if I'm training apprentices, they're just tiring. I used to get away with 4-5 hours before I hit my 40s.💚
I sleep between 3 to 5 hours a night if I'm not able to smoke due to insomnia. If I've smoked? A solid 8 plus hours lol
Usually between 6 and 7 hours, when I'm being good I have early nights and get 8 or more. If I sleep much more than that I feel worse and more tired!
For me it’s more about how many times I wake up. I’m a light sleeper, some nights I feel I wake up a dozen times. The only way I can gauge how many hours I actually slept is how knackered I feel the next day. If I feel fine then I’m guessing I got 6-7….
Usually try to get 10 hours but I tend to lay in and end up oversleeping and being tired all day

Getting parcels delivered to Post office
I recently moved and have an issue with parcels “disappearing”, would it be safe/smart for me to get fairly small amounts of bud (8ths to 2 Oz) delivered to the Post Office, and are there any precautions I can take?
Post Restante is one of the oldest global post systems there is and certainly operates in the UK- I’m surprised more people don’t use it.
Only use vendors with great stealth and order small (no I wouldn’t risk ounces!) and don’t always use the same post office.

If it’s made it’s way the whole way through the system without being detected I doubt sitting in your local post office is any different than sitting in your posties van.
What’s the new kit Polly? Went to your page to read the topic but you know how that goes 😅

Hehe…the ‘new kit’ on that topic was a Puffco Proxy that I have since sold. The picture here is my exact replica of the last surviving Star Trek phaser from the original series which turns out to be a lot more exciting than the Puffco Proxy! 🤓🖖
Last existing prop belonged to Gene Rodenbery (what do you mean “who cares you daft nerd!” ?😂😂)…
depends who you get it off poll i've picked up OZ from the post office using TGD but there stealth is on par so i wasn't worried.
Oh sure buddy I agree, if the top quality stealth is a known factor it shouldn’t make much difference with risk. I just don’t buy volume personally…
bro i polish a Z off in like 3-5 day depending how good it is and if im on it XD .. if i got anything less it would only last me a day lol only get like 2 a month though wish i was loaded XD
😵💫 you’re a machine!😂….
Yeah, I know what you mean but I only vape so I really don’t shift much volume. I’m a strain junkie though so I’m always buying- 40+ jars on The Shelf! 🥹

XD i smoke mainly J's n just got a new bubbler from the recomended vape company the (chugga-jug) used it for the first time a few days a go ( made me cough like hell XD) haven't had a pipe in a few years need to train ..
I’ve had this problem recently and considered this your only other option is stalk the postie 😂😅 I’d say up to an oz should be fine probably 2 with expert stealth I tend not to worry about it I’ve been a stoner way to long and not been done for any since I was but I’d probably start getting nervous anything over 2oz 😂
i only get Z's mainly unless i see something i've never had n i wanna try i'll get a sample or a henry.
You can't control what gets put through your letter box. Sure, the parcel has your name and address on it, but you didn't order it. Had you have received and opened it, you would have surrendered it to the police ASAP. You have no interest in the devil's lettuce and are deeply offended at the accusation. etc etc.
Turning up to collect the parcel erodes this plausible deniability away a bit IMHO. That said, I agree that good stealth + small amounts will make it look enough like any other parcel that it will probably be fine / nobody will care.

Did you send funds from paybis to your own wallet and then to the Transaxe wallet?
I’ve never had any issues sending funds directly from paybis to order wallet. Sounds like you’ve been blocked because you sent coin to a flagged LB wallet similar to how Coinbase and others will close your account.

Monzo just hates both Binance and Paybis so it's blocked by them id suggest either Coinbase or making a Revolut bank account to use Paybis :D

Salvia
I have been ordering salvia extract from Zamnesia website post brexit to the uk and never had any trouble. I even bought a load of actual dried salvia leaves and they made it through too.
Hit or miss breaking through with the leaves, but their extracts are dead reliable.
I only mention Zamnesia on here as I can’t ever recall any LB sellers offering it. I could be wrong though….
best of luck

For me it has to be... 88- 95 were just way too amazing lifestyle, partaking and raving wise!
Orion is very good also by Beltram. He has done loads of stuff though. I'll put his mix of dominator in another link and other stuff. I like record box diving youtube.
Not the best quality video but I like the video.

My 2 all time favourites I've got a good old stool house mix on mixcloud if anyone interested??
I was an early teen at the beginning of techno /ACID in the uk, later, with huge luck, became a club /rave DJ.
This, for me, started it all.
Was an amazing time to grow up.❤️

More bleeps and bass from warp - LFO-LFO
Test the subs out. I find a lot of sub calming, if my eyes and chest aren't vibrating then more sub is needed :)

More early dubby techno, G-Man(Jez Varley was one half of LFO). Can't find the age easily but it is on the MixMag - Hawtin mix from 95.
Like a lot of Techno it can rely on the mix, well it makes me want to start mixing vinyl again though for my neighbors sanity I won't :).

Jeff Mills - Humana
I like how Mills seems to blend stuff that sounds like it would be suitable in early 20th century sci-fi (bi-planes flying in the streets of New York etc.).
Techno can sound very organic.

For some reason out of all of the classics that I could put it was this that kept pushing itself to the front of my thoughts. The thought of coming up to this tune back in the day, and then the 303s kick in...

when i used to do raves i'd make my playlist like a one long greatest hits tape, using bits from here and there never usually playing near a full track, usually slot was only 1hour, in the rave at least, i would get through many records.
I done three separate cities one night was a lot of fun.
I would use the start of this always.

Your favourite strains for different activities
What has been the best strains you've tried so far for music appreciation, sexual stimulation and sleep (or any other activity you enjoy while stoned)? For me amnesia haze has been the most enjoyable for music appreciation and girl scout cookies the best for sleep as it relaxes the fuck out of me on the comedown. As for sexual stimulation I haven't found anything that really stands out from any others yet.
Okay, let's rank these 1 to 3 and, like yourself, I haven't found anything specific for #2? I would suggest around 2g of a 4g shroom chocolate bar taken with a consenting partner with both of you in the right frame of mind for that, if you like amazing spiritual physical and emotional connection that is.
So #1: I think I like most strong acting varieties (weed or hash or whatnot) with regards to music. I've been tweaking a hi-fi now for 25 years, and the Frankenstein's monster at the end of it would need £20k insurance value. I'm a serious audiophile. I've never, ever in my life considered any weed to change my perception of sound more significantly than any other.
And #3: Sleep is a different thing! MKK2020's OG Kush (linked above as the algorithm hates him, but he's an awesome vendor). Goodnight Vienna. Other option was the unfortunately now sold out Grape Cream Cake from Strainsbury's. My grail weed. So strong and so good. I may open the 7g I have in the stash...

For me:
Mimosa works for music like nothing else…
Northern Lights and I am crashing out…
Gods Green Crack and the pants are gone!

Haha the pants are gone. So what is it you experience about music on mimosa that you don't on any other strain?
It’s worth saying that not all Mimosas are created equal but a good one takes me to a whole new place. I’m really not kidding when I say I hear albums that I’ve been listening to since I was a kid in a whole different way- I can pick out instruments and rhythms that I simply haven’t heard before😵💫…and don’t get me started on the air guitar and drums!😂😂🎸🥁…..it’s so good every single Wednesday now is Mimosa Wednesday 🍑🔥🍊🚀
Yup, Radar Breeders is very good:

What was your favourite age?
What was your favourite age?
(High thoughts)
When you look back in time, what year is the one year you would go back to in your life and happily relive again ?
How old were you? What are some of the best memories? I think my second year of university was an unforgettable year 😂 I definitely took it for granted and would love to go back

The time period after my GCSE's. Innocent but not so innocent. No responsibilities except selling weed, chasing girls and playing football
Exactly this lol I can never forget that year, GSCE finish early so nice long summer, completely free doing the stuff you mentioned
Honestly? Probably like 2 years ago when my current relationship was the best thing ever. It's rough now and I would give anything to have that back
16, one year before the last year of high school. Living in Switzerland during summer, eating mushroom chocolates, hitting bongs of Swiss Dank, swimming in Bodensea and being lost beyond belief. Ahh, the Swiss dream... :)
16. No doubt. 1996. Just finished my GCSE’s. Was in the 1st 11 school football team and we’d won the Surrey cup. Had a beautiful girlfriend who was that teenage first love. Brilliant football summer with Euro 96, (Sheringham, shearer and Gazza). Being British felt awesome (not like it does now). Amazing music. Massive oasis fan and knebworth was about to happen. All my mates together with their girlfriends. Drinking, smoking fags and soap bar ;) Had got into rave and hardcore and went to lots of little rave house parties. Absolutely magical. It’s my absolute happy golden place.
When I was 12, I had a 10 week break between going to middle school and secondary.
I lived on a new estate still being built among the woods, so there was plenty of material laying about for building dens, and plenty of unfinished buildings to climb on or mess about in.
We built fires and cooked sausages, drank the odd beer, smoked the odd fag and handed around dirty magazines. We genuinely thought we were the shit 😂.
The dens never lasted long as they either got pulled down by locals or rival kids, but that was all part of the fun. I even managed my first kiss and fondle that summer.

Now…the past is the past,I’ll always enjoy life now,know matter what’s happening even though I’m early fifties 😄
I thought I was 27 for 3 years - woke up on my 30th birthday and was completely ok with that. Just didn't fancy 28 & 29 that's all 🙄
The minute I grew up and found out the cruelty of the real world was the minute the fun stopped.
I know that sounds heavy and I always answer these types of questions like this, I got diagnosed as Diabetic when I was 11, mum died , up until I was 17 my dad and me were bumping heads and I hated it (not linked to my mum I was adopted my birth mum died) I had times after where good stuff happened but I feel like I got dragged through maturity quickly because loads of stuff went to shit because of bad luck In life, my dad used to get pissed and just rent every night about needing to grow up and make money, came in the night before my 13th birthday bladdered and went “you’ve got copied video games for your birthday you’re a man now so do you need to do silly birthdays ?” And it went on from there.
Struggled hard as a kid, was very clever but could NOT wrap my head around things and did what I could, got to uni after winging it for years and failed miserably, went from hated job to hated job and here I am now at 31.
Got my own mortgage , beautiful amazing wife and a baby due in 3 months but I’ve had a wall in front of me for so many things for years that I’ve never been able to explain or get past, the depression for the last 12 years where no treatment, meds or CBT has helped has made me so cynical, jaded and overall angry and disappointed with myself.
I looked at a diagnosis for ADHD in my early 20s and got dismissed as a young man after Ritalin and after 11 YEARS on the NHS register with nothing and 4 on two private lists I was finally diagnosed 2 months ago and started medication ten days ago.
Decided to tell my dad about it last night he linked a daily Mail article saying it’s a myth so I spent two hours disproving everything that article said and he basically just said “You’re fine as you are you’re just anxious “ I’m not anxious.
So the meds are supposed to be working now but you can’t mix it with other stimulants like coffee and I drink about 4 pints of coffee or energy drinks a day to stay awake, same for weed apparently conflicts with the tablets which I smoke daily and alcohol (drink when I get the chance to feel chill).
So even though I’m on meds and titration to see what dose works for me I’m drinking on holiday, was assigned them maybe last Monday? Had to get my Bichon put down on Tuesday he had kidney failure and it came out of nowhere and because he was so silly and daft still it broke my heart to watch the life leave his eyes even if it was the right thing to do, so I’ve got grief, depression and drinking all on at the go when I’m meant to be seeing if these tablets stop me losing my temper at the smallest change.
Sorry for ranting, this wasn’t even the question I’ve just listed off everything wrong with life. Just needed to get it off my chest it’s been brutal lately.
My answer though, probably 17 to early 20s. First time getting my feet out into the world, I was a little geek until I was about 15 until I started coming out of my shell and really capitalised on that from 17 haha tried a lot of new things did a lot of new stuff but ultimately I wouldn’t relive any of it, just trying to do my best now for the sake of my soon to be daughter and don’t want to be freaking out because I can’t handle her crying so meds it is.
It’s funny, they were only really prescribed at this crucial point because if I hadn’t had meds at this point (been getting told for 6 months it’s a few weeks away) my fear of not being equipped to be a man let alone a dad would have probably been causing me to have a mental breakdown at this point.
I don’t want anyone to think I’m asking for pity, I’m not I’ve survived this long and will keep surviving but I think all your choices in life have clearly led us to where we are now, and even though I’d love to be back getting a blowjob and a stripe and feeling like I’d finally gotten free, the lessons I’ve learned from them have taught me some very important life lessons.
Cheers

Mate. Sounds like you've got lots on and are spooning out about becoming a dad. Take a breath, it'll all be good. Help your wife with the practical things so she can concentrate on the baby and everything else will follow. My dad's a cunt and it made me a great dad. You'll be grand.
1995 young free single and no children. Going to the Arches and sub club,my weekend started on a Thursday and finished on a Sunday afternoon.Dancing for hours on end not a care in the world.Good memories of crazy weekends Always saying never again but always back out Thursday night

Taking edibles through Eurotunnel or ferry
Taking edibles through Eurotunnel or ferry
Going to Poland by car from England and I want to take some edibles with me . Has anyone had any problems going through Europe or even travelling overseas?
Edibles are virtually undetectable in the normal scheme of things. Mix them in with some haribos, or if it’s chocolate put a normal label on. When has anyone had sweeties ripped apart and lab tested?…but if it stresses you in any event then it might not be worth it….
I have a house in poland, if you get caught you will be in a polish jail for 2-5 years. Polish prison is fucking brutal, NOTHING like uk prisons. My advice as an ex-pat, dont do it.
I went on the bus to Paris just before Christmas. They pulled everybody off the bus at Dover, and had some kind of sniffer dog that indicated twice to me, bastard thing! They asked me if I had any cash, and what I did for work and left me be. Had a Q of hash in my mouth. Very weird. It's coming back to UK that you may get problems.

Have I Inadvertently Borrowed A Dab Rig?
Ummm...have I? This is all I need for the concentrates, isolator hash, etc, right? When I work out how to use it.
You have a fantastic dynavap heater and yeah it's "designed" for concentrates
Buts it's a really good dynavap heater
Trates should be fine.
Iso hash doesn't typically do as well I find in a dab device unless is it's daft high quality
Should be fun experimenting with it
Don't snooze on how good a Dyna heater it is

Cheers Rabb1t. The iso is 5 different strains that RealD imported and I want to do them justice instead of sprinkling into joints... I have a little (official?) coil thing to go into the Dyna which is in there now. I just sprinkle hash on top of that and heat it to the 2nd click?
'The Wand' also comes with some borosilicate bangers with ferrous metal embedded into them so the induction heats through that. Seems intriguing, and scientifically sound.

me either but i want to start beginning my days with added borosilicate bangers as soon as possible
I'm just asking the nice man where I put the brown stuff that gets us stoned and/or high. Don't want it to fall out, not at these prices!
Ohhhhh boy
There's waaaaaay to many potential interactions for me to give a yes or no answer
The depth you insert the dynavap will have an effect
The caps all respond slightly differently
The tips can too, is it a ti or ss?
Cottonbacon also works as a nice medium to hold hash or ss mesh
We haven't even discussed humidity or airpressure yet
Personally I would shove some in and see what occurs
Remember it's easier to add heat than remove too much and slow and steady with a hash is typically the way to go
The bangers are a fantastic idea in theory but I haven't had a chance to play with one in real life yet

Too many variables is my main issue with other people making me sandwiches. This should be an interesting learning curve.
ti or ss?! I have no clue. How would I find out?
I have a humidifier though, and I am at fairly standard level above sea level for the UK.

Post a picture of your dynavap with its cap next to the tip
It's possible to tell by looking 👍 as long as you know what your looking for ofc 😁
Think of it like riding a bike,.you can read all the literature on it watch all the videos
But none of that makes any sense until you put your feet on the pedals
😁
Half the fun is the experimentation

That's my motto in general. Pays the bills extremely well.
Always used to tell an old manager of mine that I was paid for what I know, not what I do (usually when he asked me if I was busy). You could see that he was trying to suppress his urges to react and strangle me, but he'd just force a pained smile. Once wound him up to the point that when he smiled it looked like he was shitting out a hedgehog. I can still picture that day, and that look, and it makes me smile (sans hedgehog).

Is that good? 🤷🏽♂️ Apparently my mate has about 10... Showed me a fat barrelled one that he'd anodised. Looked very fancy. His stash of stuff must be utterly insane if this is what he's happy lending out.
There isn't a bad dynavap
The m20 was at the time their entry level Dyna
It's excellent 👍
It's also robust 👍

Oh, it's definitely robust. Could use it like those little bars they used to advertise in the back of 'Combat' magazine that could apparently be used in ways to break bones easily for the well trained, usually next to the full page advert for nunchakus (niche reference, I admit).
So, if you have so many vapes, how do you choose what to use and when? Is it strain specific, how high/stoned you want to get? I'm intrigued as clearly my mate is in a similar place with regards to buying unbelievable amounts of different vapes and paraphernalia.

I can only speak for myself on this
Got into vapes 2.5 years ago
Quit smoking at the same time and struggled until I got a dynavap and elev8r a few months later
Dynavap clicked with the ritual of smoking and the elev8r was like god tier extraction
Elev8r is a torch driven convection lump of quartz
Something at that point in my brain went "click" and I started buying all different types of vape to try to understand how they worked
About 1 year after I start vaping I get diagnosed as adult ADHD and it appears my hyperfocus is currently on vaping
As for devices, yeah situation depending really
I have ones that excel in flavour like the vapman or elev8r or tastytube or...
I have some portables for our and about smaller less mental looking devices
I have desktops like the ssv and the herbalaire
And all I use now pretty much and have done for the last 6mths are the bakx and ektilo
Bakx being the vape I glue together for Lamart and ektilo is my own creation and replaces a desktop/heavy
It looks rough but works well 😁

I sent this photo to a mate I've been smoking with for the best part of 30 years earlier. Mentioned the borosilicate bangers. He said, "Is that the bong thing at the back?". I confirmed the glass identified as the bong thing was in fact the bong thing. Bangers in box. I'm almost completely clueless about this, but I'm a quick learner and keen student. People I know who are really seasoned stoners have no clue about this, and neither do I.
Finally tried it out! Well, this is fun isn't it? Off my tits on RealD's iso right now. Rice sized grain (seems the standard serving amount?) of the red one. Induction heater can be put down on a magazine with no issues. Bizarre.
Just went to clean out the end, and there's just tiny fragments of dust there, and nothing else. Incredibly stoned now.
Fucking hell, don't touch this thing near the end! Only burned myself 3 times, so far. RealD's iso and Eddy's Ice Cream Float is superb in this with a coil. So much nicer than in my dab pen. Weird! Haven't tried the bangers yet, just the Dyna with coil and The Wand.

How did you get into smoking?

How did you get into smoking?
This has probably been asked numerous times on here, but it's always interesting getting to know a community in which you spend a lot of time. I'll go first anyway... During the first year of my computer science degree, I was absolutely stumped by a project I had left until the last minute. I was stressing about it with a flatmate, and he suggested I come have a smoke with him (SKYWALKER OG, I believe, was the strain). I was a little nervous, as it was my first time smoking. Fast forward 30 minutes later, all the stress about the deadline had left my mind, and I was in a free-flowing engine writing line after line of code effortlessly. A few hours later, my project was completed, and I was like, 'Damn, did I really write this code?' And the rest is history...
Nice! 👌
About 4,000 years ago I was backpacking SE Asia and arrived on Koh Samui beach on Xmas Eve. As a clue to how long ago it was there was no airport and no ferries to this undeveloped island- you got there via a harrowing ride on a commercial banana boat from the mainland (and yes those things used to capsize in rough seas all the time!). I was seriously frazzled but absolutely in heaven.
The owner of the beach huts had a large hut where they served food and drinks and yup, the home grown weed. There were no skins but they had a selection of little pipes made from bone. Looking back it’s genuinely hard to think of a more blissful time and I never wanted to leave…🏝️🥰

First J I was 14. I had a girlfriend. And she had some. It had never occurred to me and was probs an oxo cube lol.
Next time was with a rasta trini guy who hung out at a house where once again, I was chasing girls. He put on Liquidator by Harry J Allstars and then sparked up some brick weed. Never looked back.

I would recommend engaging in discussions here - it will get your name out and start building up trust. Small quirk of my idiot monkey brain, but I am a lot more likely to want to buy from an anonymous storefront if it has a friendly human presence.

If I had to summarize the formula for good vending from my point of view it will be: providing value.
meaning - good products, fair prices & decent service.
distributing free (or very cheap) samples as a start can be very good to spark things up (free love doesn't go unnoticed in my experience plus you're giving your customers a chance of tasting and reviewing your products quality while starting to build a base).
just my 2cents,
Best of luck 🍀

monzo we’re closing your account
Hello People
Anyone had this from monzo & can anyone recommend a new bank
We’re getting in touch to let you know that we've decided to close your Monzo account .
Unfortunately we can’t tell you why we’re closing your account

Hey man,
I have a question...
When doing the peer to peer thing, who's bank account are you transferring fiat to? Exchange or direct to seller?
Is it traceable as a purchase of crypto because the account is a middleman escrow? Will HMRC be licking their lips?

Most of the time your sending it to normal bnk account or business account.. and HMRC can’t do nothing you just say it was car purchase etc..
Remember your HodlHodl account is not verified with your ID… it’s no kyc.
Seller sends btc to escrow and then from escrow it’s sent to your chosen wallet which is again not linked to your ID in anyway..
Only catch is p2p vendors charge premium on buying/selling btc and there are scammers obviously

Considering my purchase level I'd also be interested in the last point in particular, and with regards to all exchanges.
I'm more interested in the point where you're grassed up to them really, and avoiding that. I'd never hit the capital gains threshold as it mostly seems to go down when I buy it anyway and I have nothing else that would go into that bracket either. They're a fucking nightmare to deal with, even if you use an accountant.
I had a Monzo account until they really pissed me off. They didn't like me depositing to and withdrawing from my betting accounts. They insinuated I may be money laundering and threatened to close my account if I carried on so I closed it myself and opened a Starling account instead. Cheeky fuckers.
I use my nationwide flexdirect account for transferring money to bittylicious for buying bitcoin. Done a few transactions now, no issues yet.

had the same with Bitpanda recently. Cheeky fuckers wanted to know what I was spending BTC on and refused to allow transactions till I tell them. I've said fuck off, obviously but was recommended Revolut for a less nosey platform. Not used it yet though. Relied on a couple of mates on here who kindly stepped in when Bitpanda got chippy.
Nat West are crypto friendly they allow a daily limit of £1000 and a 30-day payment limit of £5000 to cryptocurrency exchanges.
Never had a problem fingers crossed. 🤞

Try Revolut. Quick & free to transfer GBP to other accounts (Coinbase etc) don’t use the Revolut Crypto service as fees are high (use as a middle man) good luck🤩
Oooh shit balls. I’m with Monzo 😅
What a informative response as well:
“we can’t tell you why we’re closing your account”
🤷♂️
Do you use the account for anything else? Or just transfers to by coin? As that’s all I use mine for lol.

Taking carts on a cruise?
I'm goingt on a cruise holiday in August. Has any1took carts or a ny type of cannabis on a cruise? Cart smell etc?
Thanks 😊
Thanks 😊
Unless any part of your journey takes you to Russia, China or any Sharia country, from my experience 510 carts seem to pass as standard vapes unless they are labelled as drugs.
I have known half a dozen people take in hand luggage successfully too because the liquid amount is 1ml or less as per flight rules. Hell my friend carried a pen on a flight to NI recently in hand luggage. Brave, as the pen said pineapple express on the front.
The only other thing to watch out for is a potential confiscation due to nicotine (which is illegal ready prepared in vapes in Norway for example).
Stick them in your case I would bet money that you will be fine. Nobody is going to be able to tell what they are without a test. If asked say it is vg or pg liquid with no nicotine. Colour could be explained by flavour.
The UK does not have these products in large numbers, it is confined to the black market so people are not looking for oil carts.

Depends what is in your Cart.
My Mrs says:
Distillate has no smell (and I agree).
Live resin can have a slight smell but only when vaping. Fine in the Cart.
Rosin in a Cart usually has a strong smell comparable to hash.
BHO also has a strong smell when vaping.
Stick in your case in a a pod inside a heat sealed mylar if you are anxious about somebody smelling.

I've took flower all three times and smoked joints at the back of the ship,the wind blows the smoke away so im sure a vape will be fine.
I went on a cruise early this year and took one, was absolutely fine, even bought some weed/hash back with me!
There’s customs each time you go on and off, can’t really remember tbh, think it was random checks. Went to Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
i bring weed back on the ferry from amsterdam in milkshake bottles only 14g a time in water tight bags pushed below the neck so they dont stick up above the liquid ,im so cheeky i put the bottle on the customs desk when they check my passport .
leaving the country sniffer dogs are looking for cash ,we had a sniffer dog go over a q of psychosis back in the day on a coach at dover and i shit myself ,it walked straight over it and i thought wtf,later i asked the coach driver why the search coaches heading out of the uk he said they're only looking for cash .
Once i ended up meeting another toker on the boat ,its not as bad as you would think ,theres always a spot for a cheeky smoke
People vape so many weird oils, salts, cbd etc that I've never had anyone even look at me in a funny way...there is no stinky weed smell from carts generally...
I can't think of a better place to vape tbh. Easy on and lots of space for you to find a spot to blaze up. Windy and fresh air a-plenty.
Mylar your carts if your worried through customs, and find a spot or spots to stash it away. Then you should be good to go.
Also tuck in your dreads.. this fucks me when I'm trying to look innocent..

How Would You Save the Roman Empire?
The barbarians might have finished them off but the Romans did it to themselves. Extraordinary powers given to an Augustus wind up producing a Caligula.
I've always wondered about a time line where as Christians they see the immorality of slavery and we wind up with an industrial revolution a thousand years earlier :)
I think they saved lots with Constantinople and Christianity. We still use a lot of their language today and even arts, law and engineering.
We are still in the Roman Empire, only the 2nd coming, the International one which spans across the continents. The Romans never lost, neither the ££££s.....

What type of Canabis product is best for acute pain?
My mum had operation in Jan and still gets a lot of pain from it. She cant use Ibuprofen and any type of Opioid doesnt agree with her.
Anyone with experiance in this recomend any type of product excluding flower? Was considering trying a delta-8 or high CBD vape but wanted to know any opinions anyone may have.
I vape myself but wondered if Tinctures or edibles are best?
Thank you for any help

Hi,
Our sympathies to your mother. But help is at hand from mother nature.
We supply hundreds of medical users every month.
The THC+CBD tinctures are good for regular use and can be added to food / drinks for ease.
For convenience, people tend to use a THC+CBD Capsule. I recommend a 25mg THC / 25mg CBD dose - balanced low level high so not too severe - CBD reduces inflammation and THC will address the pain.
All cannabis products are scalable, so start low as you don't want add to her discomfort.
Would be happy to advise further if needed ( we worked with Bud Buddies for a long time doing this work )

You can only smoke 2 of these nugs, which are you choosing?
7 is all you need, surely. Assuming you never run out of trees....
for full transparency this may be influenced by me having several trees ....

Weed kills my sense of smell, anyone an idea why?
Hey biggas
So a few years ago my sense of taste changed and now I can only taste sweet sour etc (not the actual flavour of things) now when I smoke, not only does my taste go completely but my sense of smell after just 1 toke of a joint, gone, completely. It slowly returns as my high lessens.
In a nutshell, I’ve had every blood test going, seen maxillofacial, a brain scan and ENT. No one seems to know why my taste changed and no one obviously wants to help with the fact that weed kills my sense of smell.
You guys are my last hope. I know chances are probably 0 but was hoping someone could maybe suggest something/someone else to help me get my taste back and be able to smell a joint when I smoke it. This was pre covid and I’ve always smoked flower
Peace biggas ✌️

Did it coincide with a covid infection?
I got covid in October 2020 and it stopped my sense of smell in it's tracks.
Whilst my partners sense of smell returned - mine didn't and for about 3-4 months I just had no sense of smell. I was eating the spiciest food I could find(prior to which I wasn't fond of) to taste SOMETHING.
One day it returned, totally distorted. Nothing smelled or tasted right apart from chocolate.
From this point I perceived anything with alot of fat to smell rancid. Walking past a chippy is still excruciating.
Plant matter tasted like mouldy food smells. All plant matter apart from onions, garlic and coriander which tasted like sour milk, shit and sour apples respectively.
Nearly everything apart from sweet stuff tasted different and most smells were nauseating.
30 odd months later I would say my smell is at 70%. I have parosimia.
Extremely dulled alot of the time - but i believe there are some promising therapies for these smell and taste issues people have since covid.
Stellate ganglion block injections have seen some success
Smell training has seen success and has kicked up a notch since 2021. I believe there is now a machine that can just spray out different smells on it's own in order to programme your brain to recognise the smell correctly.
Vitamin D drops have seen some success too.
Repurchased epilepsy medications like sodium valproate have also seen good success in returning people's smell..
I only taste urb on the first toke too. I really need to concentrate on tasting the exhale to counter this which is not a conscious decision most of the time. I have to concentrate which means I can't relax which is paradoxical to smoking weed 🙂
I have tried non of the therapies - but intend to..
Follow 'Abscent'.

after a quick google search i can confirm this is an extremely common issue and one i have myself even when i’m not smoking but have smoked a day before, it dulls the senses and if you stop for maybe a week it comes back even stronger; i stopped for 2 weeks and couldn’t believe the shit i was smelling and tasting it was crazy it felt like a new sense and generally felt so strong
Tried that mate. I have something called ageusia according to the docs. Quit smoking entirely for 3 months, upped my water, nothing
Hiya mate,
I’ve always had this problem or as far back as I can remember which is why when people mention the notes they ‘taste’ in their joints I’m sort of like I get the taste sometimes but the smell is literally nothing.
Even if I’ve had some and my wife asks me to smell something she’s cooking etc I have to tell her I’ve had a joint I can’t smell a thing.
Best mate has the same problem, two other mates don’t.

Perhaps candida, i get that when i change my usual black coffee to white.
Candida is having too much yeast in your system, screws my tounge and taste up,
i've a low lactose tolerance and some food allergies. Without my inhaler i wouldn't be able to touch many foods and drinks i do now.
Some foods tho are off limit, less i get asthma with eggs, candida with too much milk, or a sore head with food additives.
I got covid and had that nasty metallic taste in my mouth but that was a while back, all good now.
Try searching for 'candida'. You get in your mouth and like i mentioned it screws your taste and makes your tongue kinda nippy, gives you a lingering kinda battery acid taste.
Tobacco is known to trigger candida but i'm fine with it pretty much, unless i smoke some nasty cigarettes over a while (strong Marlboro for ex.), my organic tobacco is realy good in that way, doesn't really trigger Candida at all.

A few things.
1) Flavour and taste are different - taste is sweet, sour, salty, bitter and Umami. That's it. That's what your taste buds perceive on your tongue and in your palate.
Flavour is essentially smell - volatile particles from your food entering your olfactory system.
2) What happened to you could be a lot of things - might be post viral (eg Covid and others). Might be to do with some sort of imperceptible neurological change (like a mini stroke or a minor head injury) or could be something else.
3) Cannabis ruins your sense of smell https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4243870/#:~:text=The%20sense%20of%20smell%20will,noticeable%20deterioration%20of%20olfactory%20function.

There've been issues with people uploading on Society and then that not showing on .com for a while. Does this fit into that, or is this a new photo upload issue?
Hey mightyrux
Yeah I've seen that issue going about & it's probably something to do with it .
But I'm on .com while I'm uploading an image on a review
Nothing major Just annoying more than anything

Not had any issues using pics from weblink like Imgur, not tried direct upload. Have you tried adding it via edit?
Had it a few times mate, other said they could see it though.
I gave up with pics as they nerfed the upload limit to something tiny

Tinymight 2 Advice
Hey all you knowledgeable Biggas!
I've just ordered myself a Tinymight 2, hoping it lands in a day or so. I wanted one to basically have a portable vape bong on the go, and now I'd like some advice from any TM2 owners that might be around. Specifically anything that you'd consider necessary for a good experience with it, or anything that's going to make it even more portable. I already have an external battery charger, and a couple of batteries.
I'm thinking I'll start by just ordering a decent shake to try in it first, but obviously if you have any nice serving suggestions, I'm all ears!
Thanks in advance everyone! 😁✌️💚

Hey Saff…yup it’s me!😝
Brilliant that you have a TM2 on way- it’s the “bong with a battery”!
You’ll go OG to begin with- little glass tube- because everyone does and you should.
Issues: the glass is fragile when on the move, the mesh is fiddly, the load meagre and the stem too short to cool the vapour to its sweet point.
Polly 🦊 Solution: take the long titanium stem and lose the mesh from the cooling unit. Then push it into the middle of the tube.
You’ll need some basket screens from vapefiend. (The ones from the Extreme Q are perfect):
https://vapefiend.co.uk/products/dome-screen-pack-for-extreme-q
Push the basket into the tube and load. Dial to #5, Session Mode. And Rip 😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️
Rational: unbreakable stem, full load basket, full action cooling unit, long stem for cooler vapour….
Have fun!🤩👍

Amazing! Thanks so much!
I'm glad it seems to come with pretty much all the necessary bits.
I was half expecting a laundry list of accessories that were absolute must haves.
Here's to one more step away from combustion! 🫡😶🌫️🫠💚

🤣 I have seen a couple of mad looking, bubbler contraptions. Far too big and cumbersome for a nice portable number.
Think I'm going simple and sturdy, it's going to be out the house a lot, and I think I'd produce actual tears if I dropped and broke it 😬

On this subject of basket screens.
I tried the EQ and the keep getting caught on the lip on the way out and stays in the chamber. Which is frustrating 😡
I did however find a random dosage capsule which is decent enough (doesn’t hold much but hopefully it’s not a fiver like the TM ones) but can’t seem to find them on the interweb 🤔

I like that!
With the EQ basket, I take a flat surface and press it down on the top until it bulges out slightly. This creates a tight fit when pressed into the tube👍👍

Having recently got one myself the biggest tip is probably how you inhale. You need to take it slow & make sure you have good airflow, you can't just sip / take little puffs.
After playing around alot Ive come to like in demand mode. Set to around 4 to start, hold down button until it vibrates and inhale while holding it down. You can then let go of the button & continue to inhale 👌
After a few hits once the vapor gets lacklust, bump it up to around 6 and repeat. Then up to 8ish to finish the bowl. That's what works for me anyway 😛

Sounds good mate, thank you!
How's it comparing to say hitting the bong, for you?
Do you reckon you get more "value" out of your bud? 👊💚

Right, I would agree it is a vape equivalent of a bong but you need to take longer inhales compared to a bong.
Are you currently vaping or just smoking?
I won't lie the high from vaping is different to smoking, but once you get used it's great 👌 when it comes to value it's subjective, but I think most vapes are more "efficient" than smoking. Extract until dark brown and you'd got all the good stuff and non of the bad stuff from combusting
Then if you really want to be thrifty you can eat / cook / smoke the vaped bud

I've been vaping nicotine for about 3 years, to stay off the fags. But I smoke bongs and spliffs with baccy mixed in.
I'm expecting to still crave smoke, via bong or doob, but I'd like to completely switch to vaping, I can't stand spending money on tobacco nowadays, f*cking hate the stuff!

Interesting. I think you are 100% correct Homie in that is not a sipper (like the Mighty), it’s a ripper!
But strangely that’s why I like it in Session Mode. I leave it to heat up on its own. Then hit it when the ovens hot.
Unlike the Mighty I don’t think it’s great to go back to often, so I don’t do that dial up in temp like you do, but I do with the Mighty…
Goes to show how versatile it is😎👍

Late to the party as always 🙄
After recently getting one. I found that I had similar issues but love it now.
I swing both ways 🤦 session and on demand depending on what I’m doing or need from it.
In a rush and need some medication crank that up and smash on demand no foreplay
Sun ☀️ shining time on my hands. Definitely session mode slow and low and build it up as sadhomie said 2,6,8
I agree with polly I’m on the lookout for a decent stem. Not a big fan of either. Also polly you have been talking to Mr 🐰 too much with all this tinkering marlarky 🙄
Glass is for dyna only tho lol 😂

Hehe…..that’s one bit of tinkering I didn’t learn from the 🐰!
He would have stripped it down to 150 components and rebuilt it with a flargleblaster overdrive capacitor! 🤓

I'm chuffed that everyone commenting are enjoying the tm2, whichever mode they so choose.
The only other dry herb vape I've tried was an Arizer portable, and that didn't do it for me. Not enough vapour, really tight airflow, it didn't come anywhere close to enjoyable! 🤣
Have you given up on combustion completely too now? 👊😁

I can beat that. Fucking flower mate that was fucking awful 😣
Yea no combustion now. Unless you call not paying attention to your dyna in the induction heater and having to do a full re clean 🧼 😡 don’t know what it is but the longer the night gos on the less concentration I have 🤷♂️

That sounds like a massive ball-ache! I'd be close to flinging it out mate! 🤣
How would you say the tm is on the flavour front?
Would you happily put expensive Cali weed in it, over a bong or whatever your preferred smoking option was?

Definitely. Without hesitation what so ever. No chance of combustion due to the convection heater and big rips.
If it’s flavour you’re chasing in regards to portable vapes. I hate to admit this but I think the Angus slightly edges it but by a baw hair
All joking aside as combustion does happen but very rarely now.
My go to on flavour would always be dyna, BB9, low temp cap and my glass 🥰💨

As long as it gets me nicely medicated on the go without too much faff, I can live with a wee drop in flavour. 😁
Very encouraging that you trust it to get the most out of your weed too, I was worried I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between good weed and bad in it. 🤣🤪
I'll have to pick up a dyna at some point too, I'll be quizzing you all on that next! 😂✌️

I have the TM1 so it will vary, but a longer glass stem for better cooling is a must for me.
Also I HATE it in session mode, I was extremely disappointed when I first got my TinyMight and couldn't understand why anyone liked it, I was disgruntled for days until on demand mode change that experience completely 😁 - could be user error but it was terrible
Not sure how many dosing capsules it comes with, but spare ones won't harm you. Grab some IPA and a tub to soak the capsules in. Oh and don't forget to save your AVB
Wonderful bits of kit, would love a TM2 but the TM1 does me wonders

Thanks for chipping in mate!
I do like the look of the longer glass stems, but would be worried I'd smash the damn thing! 😬😭
Do they affect the draw resistance too? I prefer a slightly restricted, straight to lung type of vape. 😁🤙💚

Yes they aren't the toughest of vapes, I've smashed a few stems 😂
I didn't notice any change in the draw with either stem. The short stem also got hot on the lips after a while as the glass heats up, I've never had this issue with the longer stem. I'd personally see how you get on with the standard stem and upgrade as you go - you might find the standard one to be ok

You have exactly summed up how I was when I got it the other day when I got mine 😂 on demand ftw
Yes it was terrible for me. It's like packing a bowl in your bong, lighting said bowl and taking a hit 30seconds after, once its all burned away 😂
Having read this I spent all evening using on demand. Don’t get it at all….harsher on the throat, thin clouds…it’s like throwing food into a cold oven and then turning it on. I must be doing something wrong but I can’t think what?🤔
hahah I also think I must be doing something wrong on the session mode, but It was that bad I refuse to waste any more flower giving it any more chances 🤣
It does take a minute or so to heat through with on demand, but I get big clouds and very smooth vape. The session mode seemed to really nuke the flower , felt like I had to hit it like a bong and the capsule was done in about 30seconds. On demand allows me to revisit the vape and hits great each time after the initial warm up
Maybe it's just a preference thing, I've seen both being used online with great feedback

Yeah, its gotta come down to user preference at the end of the day (I take maybe 2 or 3 hits on a session but the load is so small I generally dont find any need to go back to it, I'm not sure I like reheated weed)...you said "capsule" though- are you using dosing capsules?...because they dont work for me at all, not in the TM2...
The more I'm using the TM2 the more I contradict what I previously said... Im now enjoying session mode, but for completely different reasons to you 😂
I got the silly bubbler thing and absolutely love that with session mode.
Regardless what mode you're using it the TM2 needs that airflow to heat da herb. But after your first inhale (Let's be real the first inhale produces very little vapor) and it's up to temp you can actually puff away or even sip, providing in rapid succession & get tasty lil clouds. Even after turning the oven off / letting go of the power button

All good fun!
I can’t sip on the TM2 though, that’s a task for the Mighty!
Maybe I’ll try some water kit, but I do just like having it in my pocket….

Best sport stoned?
Deffo 💯 used to fish as a nipper and finally got round to getting back into it a couple of years back. Even had a guy who dropped off at me local spot 🤣🐟🎣
Fishing tops it for me, pool and darts too,nothing too energy intensive but swimming is always good
Archery is fun. I once bought from a guy who had a bunch of targets set up in his garden and would let me shoot a few arrows when I picked up.
I hit the gym stoned, take saunas stoned, go mountain hiking stoned, go cycling stoned, but there is zero competitive nature... As I'm lazy!
snowboarding gets the gold. well until they take it back
Roller Skating with some good tunes in your ears.
Juggling is great once you have some flow.

I love having a smoke and going mountain biking , turning my phone off for a few hours and just going out and getting lost in the forest
You hit the nail on the head, when the suns out like today, jump on the bike and hit the forest, big joint and then ride. Bliss!
Yep exactly what I like to do too, I named a bench near the start of my local trails 'spliff bench'.
I had planned to do exactly that today, but got covid for Easter instead.

To watch or participate? If its just to watch I can watch any old shite stoned. Found myself watching lawn bowls once, but you can't beat topless volleyball. To participate being stoned, well, gotta be driving, personally I drive much better after a smoke and have more patience with others. The fact I have no licence for a year is a testimony to that, dunno why the courts don't share my opinion, cunts

Portable extraction unit for smoking

Portable extraction unit for smoking
Hey guys
So, was speaking to someone last year about how they’ve got an extractor fan built into his coffee table. Pretty simple setup but stops the smell in his house completely.
I need something similar. I can’t smoke in the house at the moment cause my neighbour is a c u next Tuesday and she’d have me out before I could finish a joint.
Is there any websites I can use for inspiration on building a coffee table or anything really that I can build the extractor fan into but it’s portable as well.
Peace people ✌️

Buy a grow tent big enough for you to sit in then get an extractor fan with a carbon filter, connect it from the outside so it sucks the air out, then get a small fan and put it over/in one of the vents so it pushes fresh air in, you can smoke as much as you want in there and your neighbour will not have the slightest clue
I’ve got a spare box room upstairs. Cheap second hand sofa from the charity shop, small 32 inch telly sorted 🤣👌
While this is good, you could just oversize the filter and Chong freely in the room.
Back when I grew, I left fan on in room when harvesting and missus couldn’t smell a fucking thing and she has the nose of a hound 😂

What size would you recommend for a small box room with shite windows?
I’m lookin at hopefully growing long term if the situation allows.
I’m lookin at hopefully growing long term if the situation allows.
A current grower can prob advise the size based on dimensions. Main thing is matching it to the fan. Nothing worse than not enough suction!
I had mine in a tent as easier to control environment.
I run the exhaust from the grow along the ceiling and out a vent in the rooms door.
Using hps got HOT, so that hot non smelly exhaust heated the upstairs of the house 😂
I’d hazard a guess around a 250/250 cfm if your box rooms like mine

Also it all depends on your space, 2x2/3x3 tent is perfect size for one person, you might be best off getting a hunting blind though as they are designed to sit in and are not as wide, you’ll just have to cut some holes for the fans which could be a problem, but there is things for that, and budget as cheap fans and extractor fans are very noisy and also if you have a wife she might not want a 2x2 tent up all the time
Is 2x2 too tight??? Never experienced that size
I had a 40cmx40cm at first, then I realised the plant outgrew the tent!
Got the 120cm and fuck me felt huge 😂

I was thinking this. Seems easy enough to put away if need be but suppose the worst thing would be sitting in a reflective room (trippy shit if ya blasted I imagine 🤣 especially if it’s some banging Polly an ya off ya tree watchin the US office. Just got 2g off my local guy for a tenna cause he’s out of bud an I can’t do an order on here till Monday.
You should try it, only takes a couple minutes to hot box it, once that happens you start floating in your own mind, then when you come out of the tent it’s like you’ve been reborn, seriously trippy and yeah easy enough to dissemble and reassemble if family or anyone suspicious comes round
Have you tried a SmokeBuddy or a homemade Sploof?
Avoiding combustion via vaping is also a great solution…

Good idea, but in my experience they're only really any good for one-hitters and bong hits, and even then there's 'spillage'.
You need constant extraction for joints.

Simplest smoker solution would be to use a grow fan with a carbon filter. You can just throw it in a cupboard when you're not using it.
The other solution, of course, is vaping.

Cheers mate, I was thinking about the fan and filter but when I’ve googled it, the big ass extraction pipes that come with it , the ones that attach to the ceiling look like they’d be hard to hide. Unless there’s a simple way that am not seeing
You don't need the pipes mate. All you need is the fan connected to the filter and the power. The fan sucks in the air from the room and then blows it through the carbon filter.
I overheard my lovely neighbour last week saying about how he likes cigarette smoke more than my smoke lol
And he told this to local coka cola person lol
This is me right now haven a puff . It needs cleaned
And he told this to local coka cola person lol

Be careful he don’t ring the police because of the vibrating noise, he may say your cultivating and worst case scenario the police come round while your indulging in cannabis activities and catch you red handed spliffed out your mind, and is coka cola a code phrase for cocaine ? If that’s the case then he most likely won’t ring police so you should be fine
I could be wrong but I recon the pipes are for fresh air exchange and not for odour reduction. The carbon filter and fan does most of the odour filtering inside the unit, which you should just be able to place on a table
Use the above along with an Air purifier which has a carbon or HEPA filter as this will also help the room massively, these are inconspicuous so can be left in your room at all times. Can get a good quality one for £30 - £40

Not sure if any good but could get a secret Jardin extractor (small one) with a 150 filter and the connection pack.
It’s very low profile fan indeed!
With that, you should be able to fabricate the table to house the filter and fan.
It all screw locks in place, so filter under table fan in or just coming above it.
Would be ok if smoking by table / blow it directly in and then turn it up full blast when done for a bit.
Couple this with ONA gel and your neighbour ain’t smelling shit mate 🤜
For a ghetto approach, just get a cheap in-line and whack filter for size of smoking space. 😂

No worries, this posts had my stoned thoughts loads.
The secret Jardin route is expensive 😂
If set on mounting in a table, you could do the secret Jardin.
Alternatively, you can get a couple of 15 quid ram air in-line fans and then link them to a low profile filter.
Saw blade drill attachment the holes and fit accordingly.
Size of room / table determine approach.
Table is great as you say, can put ashtray on it and it will grab the passive smoke when not toking 👍

Does anyone else mix strains?

Does anyone else mix strains?
Tonight I've paired Sour Diesel and Stardawg. They complement each other enough to relax my mind so I can sleep. Does anyone else do this?
Some Marketing ideas
g, "Dude, why mix different strains? Isn't one enough?" Well, my friends, variety is the spice of life, and when it comes to the herb, it's all about expanding our horizons. So, let's dive into the wild world of weed blending and create some unforgettable flavors.
Here are a few ideas to get our creativity sparking:
The "Rainbow Rumble": A fusion of colorful strains that takes you on a rollercoaster ride of sensations. Start with a mellow Indica, transition to a trippy Sativa, and finish off with a giggly Hybrid. It's like a pot of gold at the end of the cannabis rainbow!
The "Tropical Tornado": Imagine sipping a piña colada on a beach while surrounded by palm trees. This blend combines fruity strains like Pineapple Express, Mango Kush, and Strawberry Cough. It's like a tropical vacation in every puff!
The "Space Invader": Prepare for liftoff! This mind-bending blend combines potent Sativas like Sour Diesel, Green Crack, and Trainwreck. It's perfect for those seeking an intergalactic adventure and a cosmic perspective.

Definitely do bro love mixing strains just to see what happens. Also try adding a bit of extracts I’ve rolled some crazy stuff for some friends and they’re always amazed with the distillate and kief on the zoot trick. it’s very hard to do (atleast for me) but when you learn to do it the high you get and the look on people’s faces are priceless.
I don’t normally mix green unless adding CBD but I’ll mix everything else:
Shatter Sandwiches: Shatter pressed thin between weed.
Coffee With Sugar: Moroccan Coffee Hash rolled in Sugar Wax
Cart Cocktails- either two carts simultaneously in the Tombstone battery or mixed as a cocktail in the AceCup
And so many more!😍🔥😍

Well yes if sativa say is to up say 80/20 sativa and you say need sleep do the opposite 80/20 indica , or sativa strain are around same fruity 70/30 mix the flavours but as always with caution different phaenos are stronger , peace
Yes i love to keep a wide wide spectrum of goodness in my body. Sometimes the mix is not always perfect taste wise with some strains but i do like to mix strains a lot combined. Also hash, flowers, extracts combined.
Agreed about the taste. My favourite is Pineapple Kush and Pink Runtz. It helps ease off anxiety and I look forward to social events all whilst feeling in the moment, totally present.
Now, maybe others don't keep (at least) a few strains on the go at once, but if you do mixing will happen a lot. There's only so long that you can go with keeping the previous strain you ground separate from the next.
I'm also a hash and bud mixer, and especially so as the last smoke of the night (ideally with a nice strong Indica strain for obvious reasons). Also enjoyed mixing some of Eddy's bubble hash (Gelato 45) with ground bud too.
Complete sacrilege, maybe, but I've also really enjoyed some joints with live resin mixed with flower like you would flour and butter to make pastry and it has been so delicious and got me super high.

Ha! Do you ever mix anything with bud? I'm just about to roll my last joint of the night with some of The Green Team's Kandy Kush (and there's about half a joint of mixed TGT's Cali pop and InstantGrams Blue Dream in the grinder, so that's getting mixed in) and The Hash Collective's filtered kush. Lovely late night combo (kombo?)!
Honestly, I haven't yet. Next payday I'll ask people what they'd recommend to purchase to create a bud/hash etc. Can't wait 🤩
Yes and no, generally buy upto oz of shake, and half of cbd, as a daily smoke, pregrind it all together, kept in a mason jar. Cheap daily smoke, all the vitamins. Then ofcourse, tasty primo on the side.
Totally makes a difference anyway, and the vendors here always have cracking shake. Wish there was more cbd vendors though. This month, gonna try CBG flower instead though
Aye, found them the other day, considering getting some of their CBG flower, there or hempelf anyway

Is Weed legal where you are from?
Define weed and legal lol
CDB is entirely legal in the UK, as is THC for medical reasons, including flower.
Cannabis is illegal for recreational (don't believe recreational exists if weed makes you feel better that's medicine to me) here but we've had underground coffeeshops and a weed scene that in a lot of places gets ignored.
I hope we can legalise so that sme businesses can properly invest in their products without the fear of being jailed

Legalisation of so called recreational, would create a massive new industry, huuuuge tourism boost, lots of jobs and a happier populace. The government are utterly pathetic in their reasoning for NOT going that route. Once Germany rolls out, watch the dweeby pricks in Westminster slowly change their minds. Half those cunts are coked out their nut anyway.
Gov officially released UK can do legal weed medicinally - Home office site states it is and so does gov site - Over 100 people i know legally get medicinal marijuana in UK. Via prescription - There is a list of private clinics in UK that can prescribe it. That Youtuber Drew is sharing promotes it. Since then over 30,000 people get Medicinal UK weed. - Red Eye is not lying. it's true. Dig more deeper and you'll see it just cant be promoted. Only medicinally. its legal Sapphire clinic was first to do it. Now there's a huge list of them
Google: Medical cannabis is legal in the UK if you get a prescription from the NHS or a registered private doctor. It is still illegal to grow or buy cannabis without a prescription. There is more research underway to help increase access to medical cannabis.
It took me 2 consultations and i was able to get medical weed in UK at affordable prices and great quality.

Amazing Hows life changed since then and i bet it's a lot cleaner and safer and more affordable ?
If I pay to go private I would be prescribed THC and could get a cannacard to prevent hassle from the police and closed-minded people.
It's much more affordable to purchase from LB

I agree. I could go through the whole prescription route but as long as LB works I can’t see the point.
But that’s true for legalisation generally. We will end up paying more for lower quality and probably head back to LB (it’s estimated 70% of N.American weed purchases are back on the street).
Leave me alone with LB and I’m one happy 🦊

phone number seems to be blocked from crypto sites (NO SMS) anyone had this issue?
So monday tried to put in an order as usual through coinbase was dry and I just wasn't getting the SMS to sign in... tried EVERY guide/step to fix, even called my mobile service.
Actually saw 2 posts that were in the past 24 hrs having exactly the same issue. dude even used a new number for coin and it still didnt work.
The strangest part is I can get SMS from other apps easily like the lloyds verfication, youtube, tinder etc.
tried it with cryptopay.me and it also didn't work, very strange.
ended up using another number to make a cryptopay and fucking made sure i won't have to enter a verification code each time i sign in, you actually have the option and now I'll just have the lloyds verify text when im buying BTC (never had problems, YET)
shoutout BB for recommending it, coinbase is honestly a pile of horseshit and I should of switched ages ago. Its just so tedious. took be 80 odd hours in total to regain access back to my account and send any money i had in it back out, ridiculous.
deleted the fucking thing, never again can't explain how bad their customer service is, had to figure out 80% of it myself

I had this problem, you need to change your verification method to authenticator app and download google authenticator app on your phone, it will give you the authorisation code instead of it being through sms
Might just do that for future reference incase I get this problem. Basicly alternative to receive code through the authenticator than sms. Pretty sweet man cheers
yeah i know but i had an error with changing phonenumbers entered a different one perfectly and had to hitup coinbase yet again with a screenshot.. didn't do shit lol
ended up getting cryptopay the auth would most likely solve the issue but cba to be waiting for their next fuckup to be honest.

Ok I have had this exact thing, but not with crypto sites. Started happening with PayPal, and then chat GPT. Also fine for others. Really fucking weird. I dug into it with my phone provider and they confirmed that my phone registered recieving it, but didn't show it at all. The only solution I had was there are loads of free online numbers you can use for verification, where the code goes to a public inbox. Didn't work with chat gpt as every number had been web scrapped, had to use my mums for that one 😂
Yeah sometimes they use a service that sends out the code in SMS form but the service they use to send out the SMS texts can take days even or not even land to phone. So yeh can become a huge annoyance. but also good to know they can delay even weeks to come to phone Sometimes it's rapid. Basically just comes down to the SMS service they use.

Cali or canadian
What's your opinion?Only been a bigga since January and couldn't resist the old school hazes, exo cheddar and Thai stick on here, only just got round to trying some cali for the first time tonight (bored ape from the green team)and I'm well Impressed,stinky tasty and gets me baked.
So is Canadian just as good?I have heard a lot of the bud from maple land is irradiated?is this the case?does this bother anyone?
So is Canadian just as good?I have heard a lot of the bud from maple land is irradiated?is this the case?does this bother anyone?
I think it’s fascinating that in 2021 Canada destroyed 468 million tons of cannabis products (and over a billion since legalisation). Only 10% of that was due to failing regulatory requirements, the rest was over production, so some serious commercial production methods are in use! It’s estimated that 70% of users are now back on the street quoting price as one reason but quality as the main one. Craft volume growers have never done better business.
The same market pressures apply to Cali as well.
So what do we get sent to us in the UK?….over production otherwise doomed for destruction or finest small volume grows? And as beggars rather than choosers can we tell the difference?
Like others here say, there is good weed and bad weed regardless of where it originates. I’ve had some truly fabulous imports. I guess we have to trust our best vendors to source quality products and then review them as honestly we can.
For me the biggest issue with imports vs home grown is freshness. I do wonder how old some imports are by the time they get to me. When I compare them to some sparkly sticky stinky fresh home grown then can look a little sad and dry and the lights have gone out….(but they still do the job!😶🌫️😜)

Sorry all I keep commenting. As thoughts are coming is stages lol 😂 wonder why that is 😮💨
Anyway my point is slightly off topic but in the same context.
Cali and Canadian seem to be the Pepsi and Coca Cola of the weed world 🌎
Now if I was put on the spot. I would not pick either over quality British Home grown.
Not my phrasing. it was cloudeatter77 I think 🤔
Plants that are loved not abused.
Just some growers on here that I find far better quality than either of them. Plus we all have that one mate that grows fucking killer weed.

I lived in Canada for 4 years during the time when all the weed shops started to become legal. I was smoking a few strains from a few shops and finally settled on a cartel weed called....the black. All ok weed just not as good as e.u but once the shops became legall I couldn't get stoned anymore off the smoke from any shop. People said it was because of the irradiation so I bought some smoke of the street and surprisingly got stoned. Would love to hear other People's opinions on the irradiation. Just to be clear I think canadian weed Is terrible.
After your comment I gave this a read. Like Pukoman said. I haven’t tried or have sufficient experience to actually give my opinion.
Forgot to add the vast majority of “cali” or “Canadian” that I have tried from LB has been good smoke 💨
Was on Canadian Sherberto last night and it was excellent

Glad your enjoy this place. I certainly do 👌
Glad your enjoy this place. I certainly do 👌
I’ve not found that on all the strains that I have had. Yea I’ve had some that has been not as good as others but honestly don’t let that put you off. As I have had some excellent Canadian.
Like everything that’s unregulated is it “Canadian” or “cali” but that’s the chance we all take.
Gary Paton from GenHub2.0 was excellent
Sherberto from CI are two standouts I’ve had that are Canadian

Ultimately there's good weed and bad weed everywhere. Not like we can varify that stuff is actually import / from where the vendor says it's from 🤷♂️

Agreed 100% good weed is good weed. That’s all we ever want.
That’s not to say that some mass produced British has not got they issues.

Not necessarily, any weed that's been iradiated could have less taste /smell.
I've had some CA that's been incredible & others that have been incredibly disappointing. Its can be very hit and miss 🤷♂️

Decarbing hash
So I've read here about biggas dropping hash into their coffee, sounds like a lovely time, but I've always been too sceptical to try it as I'm not convinced it's going to get me stoned, especially in black coffee as surely there's no fat for the THC to bind to for you to metabolize it?
I've read about milk infusions, and I guess that could be happening on some scale when you drop a bit of hash into a coffee, but my question is wouldn't you need to decarb hash the same way you do with bud? Googling yields a lot of conflicting information, some even claiming that dercabing takes place when the hash is produced and that further decarbing isn't necessary.
Personally have no idea how to proceed but I love the idea of a cuppa that gets me zooted
Hash I'm working with is just a nice quality stamp typical to LB.

You can just eat it and swallow it with a can of pop ( not fruit pop though its not as good) I swallowed a Q of Soapbar and knocked it back with a can of Iron Bru in 1999 and I was off my tits for around 30 hours. I only remember it so well cause I ate the hash bout a hour before I went to see Star Wars episode 1 shit film but if you're in a cinema absolutely fucked watching it, one of the best things ever.😅
I rung a Taxi from the foyer hardly able to speak and having problems remembered where I lived 🤔 soon as I got outside the cinema the sun hit me after nearly 3 hours in the dark that was it I just blacked out 😳 next thing I knew the Taxi driver and a man dressed as Darth Vader ( handing out flyers for KFC opposite ) 🙃😅🤣 were helping me up and bundling me in the back of the Taxi.
Tbh It's quite a odd experience when you're mangled collapsed on the Floor and Darth Vader and a Sikh Taxi man are standing in front of you ready to help ...miss those days.

Hey Man. I do most of my hash in coffee. Warm the hash and crumble into warm milk. Milk in the coffee. Works just fine. Tbh you can just eat hash and it will get you high. My guess is something in the process of making it , acts to decarb it. Not going to give you some bullishit science I've made up though, just experience.I have never decarbed my hash and get high most days. Either that or I've managed to placebo myself for many years. I've reviewed a bunch of hash and I've hardly vaped any. Just give it a try.
Nearly forgot to say. It can take a while to kick in , and different hashes vary. Lemon haze from Di 1/2 hours,Banana Kush fromTGT 2/4 hours but lasts for ages . You start to learn your body's rhythms. I know a coffee when I get home will kick after dinner. Be careful though, or you'll find yourself at work the next day high as a motherfucker.

Now I'm with you on something happening in the process that allows it to be primarily active but I still always decarb all my products as I have the specialist equipment and it definitely makes edibles waaaay stronger <3
If you have heated it with a lighter to crumble it will be decarbded. We used to have hash and honey sandwiches at school sometimes, it always worked fine, a little too good sometimes!
the first time i did hash in food was puting hash in a yorgurd.. put hash on a spoon heat it till it bubbles abit then stir in - yum yum
hit me pretty hard like .
ive also had it none heated hash but was a different sort of high but did work

Very similar. We used to heat then crumble hash into yoghurts. We called them Space Yoghurts. We’d then head off to do a pub quiz, think they use to wonder why we found the questions so amusing at times
Dont eat hash, ever. Workers roll it into balls and spit in it to make it more workable. Always smoke it or decarb it. How to decarb? Place some olive oil in a small frying pan or pot. Heat it to 110 deg Fahrenheit or until small bubbles gently form. Get a small cheese grater and grate hash finely. Make sure oil covers hash nicely. Gently agitate for 20 minutes. Let it cool. Use a strainer to remove any matter from the oil. When cool try a half teaspoon on EMPTY stomach. Wait for effects. Now you know how much to use. If you want to know about precise dosing send me a DM.
I was skeptical too, i tried this yday tho. I heated 1g decent quality hash and crumbled bit by bit into coffee cup with milk coffee and 2 sweeteners. Poured in hot water just off boil. Cup reduced water temp as xup was v cold so put in mwave 1 min came out steaming hot. The hash dissolved into coffee v fast. Left cup until cool enough to drink. After 1 hr on empty stomach i got pretty baked for 6 hrs 👌😁
Just eat it, 0.7g will get you quite stoned, so take care. Also, wait 2 hours before taking more, it can take a looong time to kick in.
I've taken a spoon and put a little butter then heated hash into it. Once fully melted and hash is mixed then add to a yoghurt. Always a decent high and can use less than .5 g.
I use a cafetier to be my coffee for 10 minutes, crumble some hash on the filter and let it be for the same time. It works for me, fucking wide eyed and wahey for the morning. It can take a couple of hours to bang, same with if I eat it straight. Not saying it's best but it works for me
I always decarb hash for edibles.
I haven’t had any hash over the years that didn’t need it.
I haven’t had any hash over the years that didn’t need it.
Inclined to agree this is probably the case... not to discount the experience of other biggas. Maybe individual differences account for the varying results among people in metabolizing hashish in different forms...
I'm definitely one of those people who needs to do everything possible to bring out the strength of whatever I'm making edibles with... I'm pretty sure I could eat an ounce of triple A moroccan hash raw and be sober as a judge.
How do you go about decarbing it? Same process as bud just rough it up a bit and in the oven for half an hour?

I decarb low and slow brother.
I’ve got a couple of machines that’ll do it, herboven and magical butter but if I’ve got the time and I’m using butter for the recipe, it’s the old fashioned Bain Marie on the stovetop, water gently bubbling and not stopping until the last little bubble has disappeared. Can take a couple of hours but the time is worth it with how much more potency you get per gram
Using this method I can use an eight to get 28 cookies that’ll make me sit down an hour after eating one.
Same process with flower, the missus likes to strain flower butter before using but I say fuck it more fibre in the diet

Buy BTC without ID?
Hey biggas.
A bunch of my stuff got destroyed recently including ID, and I have no local hookups atm and zero leads. I've looked into things like Bisq but the lowest amount on there right now (300 usd) is more than I have at the moment, I just wanna get some cheap shake to get through everything that's going on. I'm also 100+ miles away from BTC ATMs lol
So yeah is there anywhere in the UK that lets you buy small amounts of BTC without ID? I know it's a long shot but I'm kinda desperate
Cheers all x

What are they?
I'm only 38 and not too old, I thought I was still cool and down with it but seems not,was just flower and hash/pollen back in the day,but since I've been on here I have seen live resin?shatter?wax?rosin? Can anyone explain what all these new variations are/how they are made?
The downside is that all these extracts are players in the race for THC strength. Bangs for bucks.
Back in the day weed was c.6% THC and hash was its concentrated brother at twice that. Seemed to do a pretty good job huh? Possibly because CBD and all its cousins that we knew nothing about delivered an ‘entourage’ effect that is largely unavailable today (as plants are grown to deliver higher level of THC other cannabinoids fade away). Most weed sold on here is over 20% THC.
Extracts can be pure THC, close to 100%. Boom…job done. What’s not to love?…not much except of course they will send your tolerance to the moon. I know people who got into dabbing (i.e using extracts) and now can do nothing else because of their tolerance. 20% THC weed doesn’t touch the sides. Then the extracts stop touching the sides.
Doesn’t mean they are not great of course. Rosin, shatter, resin, sugar, badder, caviar….I’ve got them all on The Shelf right now.
Weekends & Special Occasions only 🤩👍

I couldn’t answer it better than Rozzyexpress so I thought I would add a different perspective. OP never came back so we can assume they didn’t give a shit either way 🤷♂️
Always like to make the Rabb1t smile though 🦊🍅🐰 (couldn’t find heart emoji)…
Always like to make the Rabb1t smile though 🦊🍅🐰 (couldn’t find heart emoji)…
All of those are basically extracts, similar to hash/pollen but extracted in a different way. Rosin is made by heating and pressing buds so that oil comes out, no chemicals or solvents necessary, but things like shatter and wax are generally made by using solvents like butane or propane to extract the good stuff (cannabinoids and terpenes) from the plant and then the those solvents are purged out of the extract. Live resin is usually made in the same way as wax/shatter only the starting material is flash frozen as soon as it's harvested so it keeps a better flavour. Basically it's all the good stuff without any of the plant matter. That's a pretty basic rundown of it all, but I hope it helps in some way!
I'd advise some sugar wax for your first concentrate, and get your self a little dab shovel to deal with it, with a little silicone pot to keep it in. There are many forms of high grade ultra clean hash that are similar to concentrates but they're not in same category.
For your first i'd advise wax.👍

Grinder for vape
What is the best grinder for a vape? Pax 3 specifically but I guess general vape grinders would be fine. I love the look of the Hoj Klip but can't warrant £125 on a grinder/shredder and looking at reviews they may be a little gimmicky. I've been using a 4 piece grinder for years but since I started vaping, there not much point collecting the keif separately, I'd rather it stay with the weed. I've got a 3 piece santa cruz shredder on the way but was wondering if anyone had any better suggestions? Thanks as ever Biggas!
Santa cruz Shredder 2 piece. You want something that grinds coarsely and not too fine. Also the shredder fluffs up green nice 👍
I use the S&B one that comes with The Mighty…really good piece of kit (like you I like my Keif to stay in the mix). You can buy them separately for about a fiver. Vapefiend has them….👍
Personally I think the magnetic no1's are perfect for vaping, the two piece plastic grinders. You can get them from most corner shops for between a quid and 3 quid and they grind up as fine or as thick as you want. But if you want a more reliable 2 piece grinder, headchef makes a really good one. My pal bought one over a year ago and it's still in good condition and working perfectly despite daily use. Hope this helps in some way!
I'd vote the Høj Klip as it gives a lovely clipped - end fluff - with three different options of finish, course, medium, fine. You don't get any super ground dust as it's cut rather than ground, a great size collection chamber and a kief chamber with a gauze that doesn't clog easily for the knocked off trichomes (not ground dust), I also say a better flavour too. I would recommend getting an extra set of blades just for when you clean one set. All magnetic parts and fittings very easy to clean and take apart/reassemble, smooth cut action too 👌 😎

what is the fediverse
what is the fediverse
It spreads content amongst a network of independent websites.
Peertube is an example, while youtube spreads its content around a cloud of servers pointing to youtube.com each Peertube instance has a seperate domain name, host and location.
Each instance in a federation can choose which content to include but generally they are good mirrors of each other and that makes the content very difficult for an attacker to censor or destroy.

16 year old Great White Shark seeds
I have some 16 year old GWS seeds leftover from a grow in the mid naughties, don't know whether they are viable. If any growers are interested in growing them out I'll be happy to send them your way, all I'm asking is a sample of the finished crop. they are feminised.
Well if you or anyone you know is interested in trying to grow them out I'd be happy to send them.

Looking for a decent budget vaporiser
Hey all, just looking for any suggestions on a budget vaporiser i can take with me on the go. I have never used one before so don’t want to invest a lot of money if it isn’t for me. Something for flower and hash. Thanks in advance!
Redeyejedi nailed it, Xmax & Dynavap are both great options for around £70 but also both very different beasts.
Xmax V3 - battery operated, super simple to use & all round decent for the price. Probably one of the best entry / beginner vapes.
Dynavap - Butane, so you're using a jet lighter to heat the tip. It has a learning curve but again super simple & once you get the hang of it they're a joy to use. Also better for hash!
Personally used both vapes and you cant go wrong with them 👌

What's your budget? Plenty of good shit around the £60/70 mark from Xmax, Dynavap and others.
If less than that you might struggle with a good brand but I would've suggest anything sub £60 that is convection and doesn't look janky 😅

I dont really have a budget if im honest 😂 was just seeing what people suggested and go from there really 😂 so i need to spend over 60 to get something decent? Any advice at all appreciated because I dont know anything about it. Always just smoked Joints so looking to try something different
You don't have to but that's where it swaps from random brands and generic china stuff to established brands and European stuff. Same way you could buy a tv from Aldi middle aisle, or a TV from Currys right 😂
Xmax V3 pro I have and I use it regularly over some of my pricier ones, it has a little capsule so you can do dabs too.
Thats awesome thanks, its actually really overwhelming to look at them when you dont really know much 😂 appreciate the response mate

work weed?
Couldn't imagine work without it. Of course I can't imagine anything without it. It's been too long.
But what about you biggaz? What kind of work works a bit stoned?
But what about you biggaz? What kind of work works a bit stoned?
Correct. I use CBD in the evenings and they have the same terpene profiles as regular THC weed. In the day I use CBDv and CBG.
Exactly this - a good solid sativa while working/needing to be out and about then once thats all over it's either hybrid (if afternoon) or straight to Indica if it's evening for a tranquil end
I'm an airline pilot and I couldn't ferry hundreds of people between continents unless I am so baked I'm having a whitey in the cockpit
😂 I just cannot work baked due to the massive responsibilities
It’s totally incompatible. Leisure time though is another story although I’m pretty strict self discipline wise
I take a few months break every once In a while to flush out my system and maintain mental health etc
Not everyone is gonna be the same
Works for me anyhoo…

All ropy lines of employment in recent years and I think cannabis use is the least of our worries well apart from dentist unless it’s Glennon Edward Engleman
There's no way in hell I could get baked at work, especially off my own crop. There'd be no way of hiding my red eyes, low levels of activity and insatiable appetite. On second thoughts, I think I've just myself every day.
I could do/have done my job stoned but I don’t see any point as I can’t really enjoy it when I’m working. I also don’t get people who you can smell have just smoked a fatty before getting on the bus at 7 in the morning. Don’t they ever actually wake up for the day?? I couldn’t do that lol.
I smoke at work to make it go faster, only reason and it works more social and can function if I don’t go crazy on a pen.m
Cliche, I know. But sativa day, Indi/hybrid night.
If only they knew it could be used as a catalyst for efficiency and productivity.
If only they knew it could be used as a catalyst for efficiency and productivity.
I have hardly ever smoked at work, probably 3 or 4 times in 23 years,I guess it depends on what type of person and job you do,I do bricklaying /groundworks/general building,what do others do?
If I'm honest with you I'd prefer not to say. I used to be very cavalier on lb but having seen the digital platforms change so rapidly over the last few years, I value my privacy and anonymity.
What I will say is that I'm self employed. Work 10-12+ days, 7 days, I have a family and my work is a mixture of non manual, hard manual and a lot of administrative tasking.
So, weed helps, a lot. I'm also married with children. We can do a lot in a day, on or off weed.
Guess as you said, depends on the the person and the job they do.
Peace be with you.

master tokers? how do you pick your strain on any given day?
master tokers? how do you pick your strain on any given day?
biggas like myself wind up with a lot of weed to choose from in their stash. i have a sativa am indica pm routine but i still deliberate between favourite of the moment and maxing novelty for tolerance. gets wanky pretty fast
If a batch is new to the collection, novelty wins the day and I'll get the urge to sample that by itself first.
From there, it just depends what I'm planning on doing for the hour afterwards. I'm a decent weed/hash sommelier (at least for my own preferences) and often I'll end up with a little of this, a little of that... trying to create the right buzz for the moment.
I did start almost obsessively collecting strains a while back, to the point where I'd leave a gram of everything so I could boast an ever-increasingly massive stash menu. But then I found myself left with a lot of getting-stale bud. Even when stored right, most strains (a few exceptions) will lose a bit of edge terps wise... and gradually lose potency (and become more soporific in effect) when you're sailing past the year old mark.
Now I'm a bit less wanky with it. I have a new stash box that holds 9 jars... and sticking with that system (plus a war chest of hash, extracts etc) it's still more than enough variety. Plus it's all a bit fresher. I don't let a henry last longer than a week these days (unless it's still vac sealed, but that's a different stash box ;) lol)

Start mixing in hash varieties for ‘sandwiches’ and you end up with infinite choices!😵💫
Personally if I’m going to crank up the sounds I always head to the Mimosa Jar…😍

Sativa dabs and concentrates in the morning, indica ones in the afternoon with maybe a flower joint or two, or edibles on weekends.
If Im working I stick to vapes or dabs as I can't really sit smoking a bat at my desk on calls most of the day but nobody even notices what vape Im using

I try to use Sativas earlier and Indicas later in the day but quite often find myself dipping straight into the tastiest strain I have. Gotta have a decent stash selection at all times though 💪

Vendor Smoke Upppp
Vendor Smoke Upppp
If you could hook up and have a smoke with any LB vendor, who would it be? and what would you like them to bring to the party?
Oooh that’s an impossible choice amigo…
Who wouldn’t want to spend time with the Druids down on The Grove?😍
Who wouldn’t want a pint with British Bulldog in an East End Tavern? (Or the Dam!)😍
Who wouldn’t want a tour around Eddy’s Wonka Factory?😍
Who wouldn’t want a posh night out with The Gentlemen Dealers?😍
The list goes on and on…..impossible to choose!🫣

I'd do a smoke out with DIUK, first vendor i used here.
I'd ask them to bring the pre-rolls with kief and shatter and see who hits the floor first, surely the vendors aren't hard hitters tho, couldn't be less they'd just blaze through all the product.
I think i could hold my own against any vendor here, apart from the shroom vendors, fuck that!😁

Can this be extended to Biggas? I’d be down that warren like a beagle after a T break if so……..
If i had to choose one single vendor that i think could out smoke me i'd say TGD, i remember around Christmas /New Years they were going on about getting a massive puff on the go, and all i was thinking to myself was that ridiculous shop of theirs and was concerned they might go full bonzai.
I bet TGD gets high as a bloody march hare.
😁

Hmm?? I'd be too worried I was gonna walk in on the old bill sat round drinking tea! Telling me I bought the wrong leaves to the party and that I now have the right to remain silent!!
Maybe too many Sativas inducing some paranoia. I would recommend a strong indica and some CBD drops ;)
I would like to be blessed by the Pontiff Of Piff! A vendor I've been looking at but not purchased from (yet)... The Obama Runtz looks beautiful 👌 😍
You won't regret it mate. Still a newbie at 10 buys here but had a couple of decent purchases from them. I'm like a kid in a sweet shop at the moment, I've just received some Blue Cookies today and I'm already looking at a next order to try and give myself some more choice this weekend. Happy to be pitched for business if any vendors are listening 😂

Anyone else use a CBD vape along with their thc carts?
I get my CBD disposable vape and a delta9 vape and use them together...the high then feels exactly like a normal cannabis high and doesn't lack anything.
I didn't realise how big of an affect it was having until I ran out of my CBD vape and couldn't sleep lol

I always go 121 thc to cbd with my oils, or I use the cbd oil with my vape, I sleep like a baby for 8 hours, without either I get about 4 hours. Thc on its own still gets me to sleep but I get a chong-over!
Thanks for reminding me, I keep meaning to buy a CBD cart to run alongside a THC in my Tombstone battery!
I’m going to do it right now👍

IPTV suggestions?
Sup biggas. I'm gonna get myself a nvidia shield pro tv and wondering if anyone has any IPTV suggestions? I hear tivimate is the app to use with the setup too. Anyone who has a shield or is clued up on IPTV, id love to hear your thoughts. Will be sacking off my VM subscription when it ends hopefully in place of this as i hear its the way to go now. Cheers.
Tivimate is definitely the app to use with IPTV and the shield but you’d need the paid version as this gives you much more features including being able to record any stream and the developer updates it regularly. I’d save some money and just get a firestick as if you are just streaming then the shield is an expensive overkill
"Mainstream" is very reliable..
Search on Facebook- private group 2.5k members. Had it for years and rarely has issues after start of football season.

Whichever provider you go with, Tivimate is definitely the player to use. Pay for the full version. It's just gone up to a tenner for a year but it's well worth it. Loads of features, including recording and a great interface. Very easy to navigate and it's brilliant for VOD too.

DO NOT refuse to pay your energy bill in October. Below is how you can make a stand and hurt your energy supplier without getting into debt/damaging your credit rating:
1. Cancel your DD & pay for what you use each month.
2. You then need to write a letter of complaint to your energy supplier. Once that complaint had been raised, your energy supplier can't take any debt collection work on your account, so they can't pass your details to the credit reference agencies etc. That bill gets put on hold whilst they try to resolve your complaint.
The energy company might offer you a small reduction - DON'T accept it. Keep the complaint open & hold strong.
3. Eventually, they will send you a letter of 'Deadlock'. A letter of Deadlock is a letter that is sent to you from your energy company saying they gone as far as they can with your complaint & can't go any further, so your only option now is to take it up with the energy Ombudsman.
For every complaint the Ombudsman receives, they charge your energy supplier £500 for every claim they have to investigate.
4. The energy companies also have limitations on how many complaints they're allowed open as well as a turnaround time of how fast they have to respond to a complaint & get a complaint closed. If they don't respond to them fast enough & don't resolve the complaints or they have too many complaints open, the energy firm will also get hit with a fine from the Ombudsman.
This is how your hurt an energy company. This will also put them in breach of their licensing conditions
& put their ability to trade at risk.
So if you want to fight these extortionate price hikes
1. Raise complaints
2. Do NOT close them
3. Take them to the Ombudsman
You can also submit a “subject access request” at the same time as the above. This means the energy company has a legal obligation to provide you with every piece of information they have on you; including telephone conversation transcripts, past bills, everything! This is time consuming for them to collect and is a huge hassle for them however they legally have only one month to comply.

fuck harming anyone, its not going to do any good and it's a violation of little biggy to promote it. i know that's not your intention but just sayin.
energy is getting more de-centralised and we don't need to fight master to free ourselves. solar panels are independent and pay off faster every time prices go up. insulation and staying out of cars also pays off big without politics and it's fucked up price on all of us.
i realise not everyone has these options. i'm a renter and i already take the tube but i just got a cooled mattress and it saves bucketloads of air conditioning. winter has even easier solutions, fabrics basically. if we all do this the price is guaranteed to go down not only for each of us but collectively as even in this market supply and demand mean a lot.
i cant stand energy companies or the cunts that supply them with oil and gas but i'd rather switch than fight another peasants battle; we always lose in the end.

Good info. i closed a complaint with them given me 100 in credit. but they robbed me for loads which i got back in the end. Ombudsman was crap . Local MP sorted it out... But wish i knew this info b4 hand. thanks.
Most large companies have resolved the dsar issue and have one click way to generate the required data, it's not a hassle anymore.
As said in the other reply. Enough is enough campaign is being backed by some strong union/government officials. I’ve signed up, waiting to see what action will taken
I have signed up, but Dempsey and Lynch have been backing Enough is Enough, which has a few other objectives on top of energy price caps

Biggest issue is the hit to peoples credit ratings. With interest rates and the cost of living going up people might actually need good credit scores to help them through it.
So they’ve done a very good job of weaponising ‘credit ratings’ against us then?
“Do this/don’t do that or your credit rating gets it”…. What a crock! 😖
“Do this/don’t do that or your credit rating gets it”…. What a crock! 😖
You’re absolutely right BillyBongo. That’s a huge flaw in our current system I think, though.
Banks increasing their wealth at the expense of increased debt levels on individuals seems like a fucked up way to get out of this situation- in fact I don’t see how that’s sustainable over time.
2008 demonstrates that quite well. Banks will ultimately lend even in unaffordable situations as we have set the precedent of bailing these parasites out every time they take the piss.
As a side note- David Graeber wrote a pretty great book on the history of debt. Left wing writer but regarded very highly across the political spectrum

Sign up to Revolut.
Do a money transfer from your current account into Revolut (quick and free of charge)
.. then transfer GBP funds from Revolut to Coinbase (quick and free of charge)
This was the quickest and cheapest way round it for me when UK Banks started blocking. Good luck pal 🍻

Trying to send funds from revolut to coinbase and it says I need to verify my identity to unlock that feature.
Had the same problem with Lloyds, they do allow purchase with Uphold and it’s worked for me. Yet to transfer from it to Bitcoin though but it looks like it will work, had issues using the code from my wallet when testing a transfer as it has to be Legacy or summat, so snapped the QR code with another phone and it scanned OK.
That was the site I was using in question. I have tried various others that are similar but they don't let me purchase it unfortunately.

got some full spectrum oil and flower. in my pipe id just top it off w/o a care.
but can I put it in my mighty vape without fucking up this expensive machine?
but can I put it in my mighty vape without fucking up this expensive machine?
The mighty certainly has the voltage to vape concentrates. I would usually suggest using degummed hemp fibre to absorb the oil Having not really looked at it, I'm not sure of the chamber makeup, but a quick search shows that you can get specially made liquid drip pads for the mighty that are manufactured to fit the chamber but not the dosing capsules. That will be your best bet.
Use some.bacon cotton or the mighty concentrate pillows. They are just like bacon cotton made of metal so can be reused.
Personally I wasn't a fan of using concentrates in my mighty, your better off spending £28 and buying an AIO which is made specifically for the job and does it very well.

anyone pick strains by terpine profiles?
anyone pick strains by terpine profiles?
i know the real weed nerds don't even say sativa or indica but how do they apply terpine understanding to make choices?
A simple method if you have no prior knowledge, is to search the strain on Leafly and see what terpenes it contains.
For example, if you search "Wedding cake Leafly" on Google, you will get a description of the strain along with it's most prominent terpenes. Wedding Cake's most dominant terpene is typically Limonene.
Once you've figured out your terpene preference, simply check Leafly to see which strains contain the terpene(s) you prefer, and tailor your purchases accordingly 👍

I’d like to see vendors include more about terpenes with their strain info but as Anon1385 says we can all do our homework too👍

does stiffness travel through muscles?
It seems like back soreness can spread to my legs or is it just becoming sore too later on its own
Sounds like Sciatica
"Sciatica is where the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back to your feet, is irritated or compressed. It usually gets better in 4 to 6 weeks but can last longer."
"Sciatica is where the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back to your feet, is irritated or compressed. It usually gets better in 4 to 6 weeks but can last longer."
May be general inflammation, I had something similar and was told to drink lots of water and take anti-inflammatorys..
Mineral water in a hot bath is good, and moderating sugar as that is a major source of inflammation.
Also tight hamstrings can cause back problems, a good stretch to do is to sit on the floor cross legged and lean forward, allowing a stretch on the tendon that runs past the base of your but and to your hamstrings, as this also effects your back, there are some other specific lower back stretches which aren't too difficult to find.
That said it could be an array of things and you can't beat a professional that cares about their job:)
Goodluck

I'm replying as someone who lost a good few years of their life due to debilitating back pain and sciatica. You've got some excellent information in these replies, and my main advice would be to see someone about it as soon as possible, don't ignore it and allow it to get worse.
I saw many 'experts' from various approaches, and did years of physiotherapy exercises, yoga, pilates, etc but I didn't make any real progress until I found a good chiropractor.
If something's 'out' somewhere, whatever that is, your body will try to compensate by moving away from that pain area, other muscles will take over to compensate for whatever's not working as it should, your posture will slowly change as a result, and that will cause further problems.
Sciatica (like any nerve pain) can manifest in strange ways - you might feel it as soreness, a tight localised cramping, like a hot wire running down through your ass or leg, or even like water being poured down your leg - the feelings can be very strange, sometimes just bothersome, sometimes extremely painful and debilitating.
There are all kinds of exercises you can do to help, as people are suggesting, particularly hamstring stretches (search for 'straight leg raise exercise with strap/yoga belt' - the belt/strap will provide support and help to minimise you straining your back even more) but I think you're much better off seeing a good chiropractor and getting them to recommend exercises that are specific to your issue and, importantly, won't risk worsening your issue by working on the wrong things or trying to do 'too much'. The alignment of your tailbone is very important when doing lower back exercises so, again, you need to know you're doing them right. I also see a sports injury physiotherapist (a very highly-trained one!) and they gave me very simple exercises that, in a short time, made me much stronger in my lower back and glutes (ass). Simple exercises that weren't 'too much', didn't take too long and could be done whilst high 😂. The yoga and pilates weren't helping much because I needed to get my skeleton back into the correct alignment *before* doing those things. Honestly, I tried yoga and pilates for years but couldn't make any real difference to my pain until I saw the chiropractor and got a good base to start from.
Now, my issues were quite severe and I don't want to alarm you as it sounds like you're nowhere near as bad as I was. This stuff can get bad quickly, though - just take some action on it now and don't let it get worse.
If you're open to seeing a chiropractor then find one that uses 'muscle testing' to help diagnose the issue. I wouldn't bother with NHS physios - they're just not trained to the level of good chiros or 'sports injury' physios, and I wasted a lot of time with them.
People have made excellent suggestions in their replies here. It's nice to see and I wish I'd had access to some of these suggestions when my issues started! With exercises, I'd also recommend looking up 'nerve flossing exercises', these are really helpful IF you have any nerve pain/sciatica (which you might not). The 'Warrior 1' yoga pose (Virabhadrasana) works the QL (Quadratus Lumborum) which will strengthen the area around your spine and give more support. Again, I'd recommend seeing someone first and getting exercises specific to your issue. Anti-inflammatories (like Ibuprofen) can cause their own problems, and I'd recommend a good curcumin (NOT turmeric) natural product instead, something like 'LLS Curcumin 95' (on Amazon). A warm bath with a couple of cups of epsom salts in will help ease your muscles (you can buy a big tub cheaply from Amazon, cheaper than buying little packs). Also, you could try some 'BetterYou Magnesium Oil' (Amazon, Holland&Barrett, etc), I know a lot of people who've benefited from that. Above all, try to see someone who knows what they're doing as soon as you can - and you'd be amazed what a few simple, targeted exercises can do for your discomfort.
Good luck with it - deal with it now and save yourself potential misery in the future! - and feel free to message me if you'd like. Cheers 👍

Yes 💯 stiffness travels through and takes over the muscles. I was having injections in my bum most days to relax my back muscles. If it's spreading to your legs that ain't great mate. sauna, steam room, jacuzzi And bro 💯 upgrade your mattress, some good deals out there.
Your whole muscular skeletal system is deeply connected and can imbalances can cause complex chain reactions. The back and hamstrings (which I assume you're referring too?) are part of the posterior chain. If one of them is tight, it will likely impact the other.
I don't generally perceive sciatic pain as 'soreness' but a deeper nervous pain, sometimes feeling like a shooting pain down the leg. Be careful stretching things that are already painful.
If it is your back and hamstrings, the safest thing I would recommend to start doing is stretch your hip flexors and hamstrings. Do not round your back doing these stretches. Tight hips can lead to underactive glutes, which can put strain on your back and legs.

It sounds like sciatica.
I suffer from this occasionally after receiving an injury to my lower spine.
If your intervertebral discs are bulging and pressing on the nerves in your spine you may experience soreness, numbness, pain etc down the path of the nerve which branches off and travels down each leg.
When it flares up I am a broken man. Make sure you look after yourself.
As Yourmumshouse suggested, there are many reasons for this to occur I.e lifestyle, posture, injury.
Get proper medical advice if symptoms are serious.
Best advice/excersise that works for me is to be active.
I was also recommended a yoga exercise which has helped strengthen the back muscles and I would be happy to share that if anyone is interested.

The only thing that fixed my back when I had problems with my spine was doing leg kicks over and over again, I think it’s the rotation that helps your spine become more stable, I’m not a scientist or doctor but kicks (specifically leg kicks) is what solved my back problems and since then I’ve had no issues whatsoever, if you don’t want to do those just do some yoga, the first 3-6 weeks will be the most painful but after that you’ll notice the pain is fading off to a level where you can endure it regardless of how tired you are feeling, but I must say the yoga really did nothing for me at all, that could just be me but you never know

Taking a break from here as I simply cannot afford it anymore, I smoke way too much to be hit with all the fees involved and this new inflation malarkey is just the cherry on top.
I seen if you’re inactive for a long period of time your account will vanish so how long are we talking?

Does anybody get taste sensations from certain words
Mobile Top-Up pack gives me a taste in the back of my mouth
...and Oliver Sacks (neurologist) has some excellent examples of it in his writings. Biggas might enjoy his book 'Hallucinations'. Synaethesia experiences are common whilst on acid or mushrooms - giving weight to the theory that our ('normal' state) consciousness limits or restricts our perceptions so that we can function effectively in this narrow frequency we think of as 'reality' 😉. Cheers! 👍
For me, certain words have taste, some colour.
Music will sometimes involve a visual stream of colours layered over base reality, like AR. The specific name for this is chromesthesia.
We exist. People say 'wow, that must be awesome'. Well, not when a taste is triggered in your mouth you absolutely despise. I can't remember not having it. It's normal to me. It can get a little intrusive, and sometimes I think I can infer something about the interconnectivity of our reality. However, after reexamining these moments later, it's usually complete bollocks.😂

Easy to grow mushroom strains
Easy to grow mushroom strains
Hey, I’m looking at growing some shrooms soon. What are some of the easiest to grow strains of shrooms?
Golden Teachers got their name because they are the most noob friendly strain out there. Good potency but not overwelming so easy to dose and easy to grow.
ps. is there much demands for shrooms on here? I was thinking of growing again after seeing some of the prices on here. I could do 4.5g for about £40 and most of the prices here are like £60-£70?

why are there no dates for posts in the 'topics' section
Hi all, am I the only one that finds the structure of this site, particularly the topics section, very very confusing? One thing that would help is dates for posts and replies, is this something that has been suggested before? In all my time on the web I've never seen forum threads without dates before, is there some good reason for this? Thanks all and happy toking
Security reasons i think having no dates is a good thing. If you really want it dated. Just add the date into the comment post yourself.
22/02/2222. I'm at that Omega Point of Time

It gets mentioned all the time (almost as much as the stock counter for vendors 😅) but a borg has mentioned recently they don't want dated posts, for what ever reason 🤷♂️

Weed for menopause?

Weed for menopause?
One of my family is struggling with her symptoms of menopause. She's been put on medication by the doctor (I'm not sure what although i know there's some depression meds in there) but it isn't being kind to her. Has anyone on here has any experience of treating menopause symptoms with weed?
Sounds like she’s got one of those poxy doctors (normally male) who won’t prescribe HRT because once (when dinosaurs roamed the earth) it was mistakenly linked with breast cancer which has been utterly debunked! Grrrrrrrr…
My advice: change her doctor and get on HRT it may well prove to be the best thing she has ever done!
Back to cannabis…there are virtually no contradictions with scrip medicines. If she is not experienced in this wonderful world I would recommend she tries a rosin vape as a low risk/cost way of seeing if she gets on with it.
Pop over to Serial Chiller Labs and buy a disposable of your choice, these are 100% discreet. Nothing could be easier for her, rosin is a totally pure press of bud and may well help her a lot.
Then get her on HRT ! 😂👍
Good luck buddy 🤞

Ahh thank you Pollypuff. When I saw this post I actually ask my wife who went to the same thing if it helped her. She said it did, especially with sleeping. One thing she did add: that it did not help her with hot flashes. Not that it got worse, but she still had them. So if that is something she is particular is having problems with it is maybe not the best solution.
I hope that helps,
Love,

It doesn't so much help them, but it does allow you to forget about them and melt into the couch. Unfortunately the only thing that can help is a great diet, no booze and the right combination of hormone replacement etc...its pretty much just misery. I went to a private Gyno, NHS appointments just kept getting cancelled and rearranged. It was an expensive option, but I got the help I needed pretty much instantly.
Interesting. I'm not sure what symptoms of menopause cannabis could treat? What made you think of cannabis as an alternative treatment vs. more conventional treatments (e.g. HRT)?

its insane to see how fast the world has accepted something as fundamental as decentralised currency.
will a more and more decentralised world be the future or will the empire rule the metaverse?

Hash Vape?
Since some opportunist stumbled upon my 2021 Dynavap it seems a good time to ask.
Can anyone recommend a vape that beats dynavap at hash?

I have a DynavapM but am currently running a delicious range of sandwiches through the Mighty.
I can particularly recommend either the Pineapple Ice Cream Sandwich 😋 or the Banana Gelato Express 😜…dreamy!

The vapman with a WPA from the rogue wax works and a jhook is fab for hash
Sorry this popped back in my topics today

Vapman looks so cool….but I think I’ll wait until they bring back the heating station next year, save all that fiddlin’ with lighters! 😎
I like the fiddling! I got plenty of load it turn it on and boom vapes but like the ones I can fettle with more 🙂😏
That's a myth spread by fox hounds, it makes foxes overconfident in their abilities and therefore easily caught.
Or so I have heard on the carrot vine

If you ever decide to stop hot knifing hash then I did put something on my page about how I use the dynavap for hash with pictures and everything!
I know I'm not your favourite rabb1t but my throat is still sore from hot knives and I haven't even done them this century so much respect that's proper hardcore 👍
Do you have like an advanced setup or is it as 90's me remembers plastic bottle etc?

If you know I hot knife, then you know I decided Dynavap isn't particularly worth the bother. If I got another freebie, I'd use it with the few hashes it's good at.
Sorry I only saw you post about hot knives recently and didn't know your full opinion on the dynavap
I shall leave you to your evening 👍

how do they dig people out of debris?
it always amazes me how long it takes to pull survivors out of wreckage. in many cases they have the world's resources at their disposal but it still takes weeks.
its mostly about cutting the debris into pieces and removing them carefully. there is some specialized equipment for this but there's lots of coordination overhead.
