Boveda packs maybe better than using silica packs as you want some level of humidity in there not to overly dry the bud

I’m keen to hear what other biggas suggest

I usually use an air tight Kilner jar always worked fine for me.

This post is probably super old but I've been using water filtering for all my smoking tools and it makes a world of difference.

Have a look at some bubblers, they're essentially tiny portable bongs that you can attach to devices like this. I'll attach the one I have which I think is compatible with the dynavap:-

Wool? Are you smoking wool? that could be the reason you're coughing

Green Avengers passion fruit has a very citrus fruity taste💚

Our Alien OG is surprisingly fruity, currently giving free samples out with every order too!

Also have some nice Berry strains landing in a few days ;)

Make into edibles. Make something to vape or make something to drink. You can even wipe on a rolling paper to smoke.

It's all preference really. What is your preferred method?

Thanks for that. I'd be fine doing whatever with it. I'll probably go the edible route. Cheers.

Yes spain is my go to place now for vacation 😂

All you need to do is get on weedmaps app , search the area and browse the dispensaries. When you have found one you want to visit you will be able to find their email address.

Send them an email before you go saying that you would like to visit them during your trip . Dont say anything about weed or ask about prices of membership or products etc.. they won't appreciate it.

They will then email you back saying yeah its all good see you soon.

And thats all there is to it. When you get there tell them that you sent them an email.

They will want to see your passport or driving licence to input into their system and then they charge you a membership fee , typically 5-10 euros a week but every place ive ever been to has never charged me again for the duration of my stay.

The main place I go to only charged me once when I was staying for a month and now every time since he just searches for me in his system and let's me in .(we have built up somewhat of a friendship me and this guy during that month so he always remembers me when i return and I'm not sure if this is why he doesn't charge me any more plus he now knows im going to spend a lot of money with him for the duration ) 😂😂

It's dead easy!

Sounds good mate, we were talking about going to one in Gran Canaria a couple of years back but never got round to it.

What are the prices like over there in the clubs?

I just turned up at an address in Seville city centre and they let me in.
I completed a registration form with ID and I was then shown around the place which for all intents and purposes looked like a nice tidy bar with comfy seating, tv, music, a stocked bar and all the paraphernalia you’d need free of charge. I was then shown the stock in a small dispensary room that had around 20 bud varieties and hash/pollen available.
I was then able to buy some very nice potent marshmallow.
I got 3.5 grams for £15.
This was more than enough to last me the whole week I was there and I would have loved to have gone back to the place but didn’t have the time as it was a busy visit.
I have to say that Seville is a beautiful city and well worth a trip.
Spanish laws are quite tight regarding smoking bud in public which is a big no no and likely to get your collar felt by the Law.
Just be intelligent about things and don’t take the piss and everything will be fine.
Other than that you can smoke at home and in the designated clubs without issue.
I got a membership at a club called Kong but there’s at least half a dozen cannabis clubs if not more in Seville.
Enjoy

Provided their product and service was good, they would clean up. Imagine, next day service as standard. Not wondering if customs are gonna snag your packet.

we have been having 100% success rate with ups, but not everyone wants to pay $50 ;)

Product is available. Vendors need to ready

There are a few spots on the border where you could service North, south and Europe. Pettigo in Fermanagh is such one spot.
Just sayin like. One half of pettigo is in the north. The other half is in the south.
;)

Put me in coach

Yep makes sense. What an amazing flower this is.

I spent close to a year living in Amsterdam. With exceptional quality buds, you can expect to receive the typical couch lock and sedation with a good Indica and a buzzy euphoric racing high with a solid Sativa.
Dr Grinspoon at Katsu coffeeshop was a pure Sativa, it was like drinking a double espresso, no ceiling to the high, it didn't roll over, one for the morning...

Apparently some Sativa's can work the opposite on some people, and can couch lock them. Amnesia Haze is a particular potent strain, whilst it's a sativa, it can deck you.

Perhaps check Leafly or Wikileaf for further advice on certain strains.

Have a good one.

Patient #420

There's a difference for me, stick to indica strains as sativa always seems to make the heart race and the anxiety then comes on and spoils the high. Maybe all in my head but happens everytime.

Same. I can only do Indica

same for me, and strong indicas give me this incredible healing feeling that i just don't get from sativas

There’s a difference alright.

But also phenotype and harvest time play a big part.

I've smoked 26 years, used to smoke anything and enjoy it all but now I notice a huge difference between the effects of sativas and indicas, every time I obtain an indica strain it's hugely relieving for my ptsd and post cancer surgery pains, and sativas almost always give me nasty anxiety. I'll still smoke them tho, because I'm an addict haha

I agree. Sativa is far more likely to make me anxious, whereas Indica is just a lovely, warm brain hug.

I think this is it, I’ve smoked for 20 years but didn’t notice the difference until really started to pay attention and start to use for medical rather than recreational reasons there is 0 doubt in my mind there is a very easily notiible difference. It’s natures way so everyone can be helped by this wonderful medicine, Sativa to speed things up, indica to slow things down. No one will convince me otherwise on this I’m certain if I was given a heavy sativa dom and n indica I’d know the difference within a few tokes

The science says it’s bollocks full stop.
BUT…like a lot of people I have go to strains for when I want to get stuff done and others for when the bean-bags are calling. All part of the fun! 🥳❤️

after 18 years of heavy daily smoking, in my experience indica + sativa are just buzzwords, mostly used by trendy casual smokers so they can "pick a side and have a favourite"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5576603/

in my experience the terpenes play a way more important role when it comes to the overall effects and experience of each strain, i've had sativa's that couchlock and indica's that are uplifting and energetic which are the opposite of their supposed effects

Some Sativas can give me mad insomnia.

Indica never happens.

Love sativa and coffee during the day and indica before Zzz.

I think everyone is diff though.

For me, I believe it to be true to a certain extent. I find with sativa heavy strains I feel a buzz in my head and it's above my ears. With indica heavy it's below my ears and I'm definitely more lazy. It's not a massive difference for me though. My mind tends to wander and think about more random bollocks with a sativa too. Who knows maybe it's all in the mind. All this energetic stuff I see is pure bullshit for me though. If I'm high, not much is getting done.

There are many factors that contribute to an overall feeling. I wouldn’t say Sativa/Indica is the dominating answer. That’s like saying my only expression is sad or happy... However, things get a bit more technical when you dig into it. Being able to simply explain an estimate sensation to buyers in percentage i20s80 is hugely beneficial. It helps people learn about what they’re buying, that’s not a bad thing

Seems the terpenes have a part to play, In the effect of cannabis aswell. not to mention that it seems a good %90 of strains are hybrid, you have an Interesting take non-the-less.

Alot of the time you can only really notice when it's grown properly!

In my basic opinion:

Sativa = High
Indica = Stoned

It’s all about harvest times. If you let the sativas trichromes go amber, then you might get a couch lock. Similarly if you harvest your indica when the trichromes are clear, then you might feel creative and focused;)

Seems to depend on people’s chemistry. I cannot take Sativa or hybrid strains any more. Make me paranoid and awful circular thoughts and insomnia. Indica Im easy like a Sontag morgen. I grew up with hash in the 90’s whi I think must have been mainly indica and I used to love smoking. When skunk came along it was hit and miss and paranoia used to be more frequent. Thanks to Lb I’ve been able to buy what suits me both in terms of hash and weed. Got some lovelY Northern Lights and Hindu Kush and Fanta hash which are right up my strasse.

This is without a doubt important to me, after years of trial and error, I've discovered my ideal is a hybrid around 80 indica and 20 sativa, so pretty much something like a og kush or something, I've found a more sativa dominant strain will mess with my head, I get hyperactive and often get headaches, I can instantly tell if the weed isn't right for me, I think it depends upon you, personally I smoke for pain relief and mainly to switch off, I like the real stoned feeling you get from indica, it's like a warm blanket for your brain, I do have a very active mind so this suits me, of course each strain and type affects us in different ways, I can't say I've really every enjoyed sativa dominant strains but when I have smoke it I find it goes really quickly as it doesn't hit the spot, I'd say I'd be active with sativa as a rule if I had to smoke it .....

Same although I can’t really do any sativa. Just pure Indica and a nice red wine and I’m in my happy place.

Total crap IMO..

What tests were conducted to determine whether a plant is indica or sativa?

It usually is one person who bred the strain, will smoke it and say this makes me feel couchlock or uplifting and then give it an approximate rating.

Since the rec market came into play all strains provide all effects you may desire from the plant.

Personally regardless of the weed is indica or sativa its the terp profile like for couch lock it would have to contain a good amount of mycrene to get this effect other terp profiles do different things I would imagine if it was indica or sativa and didnt have enough of the terp profile in either of them for what ur desired effect I dont think it's down sativa or indica more of what terp profile that weed carrys

More often than not it doesn't make much of a difference but there are exceptions. Maybe it was down to the terpenes, but...

So, I lived in Seattle for nearly 10 years and smoked on the daily and there wasn't any drastic difference in the effects of the many different strains on the go except for this one time that will forever stick with me. I had been smoking a typical kush number with dense nugs for most of the day before heading out to a place for hot wings with my mate. Dude pulls out a very straggly and wispy looking bud from Oregon, puts it into a bowl and we fire it up. Not a minute or two later that shit came on strong and cut through the Kush fog like a hot knife through butter. A rush of high energy blasted away the previous hours of smoking and we ended up high as fuck giggling like lunatics over hot wings. That's the day I realised that a real 100% sativa does exist and it's a fucking blast.

DO WANT! :D

There's definitely a difference in high between cultivars with the tropical 'Sativas ' generally being more energetic and psychoactive but now that everything is a hybrid , these classifications don't make a lot of sense anymore.
Also , those indica/sativa percentages are completely made up.

I too have about 20 years experience smoking different strains, including solids. I normally smoke 'bud' though.

The last solid i smoked had hardly any effect on me at all - it used to make me really 'horni', 20 years ago.

However, i do notice a difference between Indicas and Sativas. I do a physical job and an Indica strain does take the aches & pains of old age away, for me personally.

Ive had one particular Sativa that did make me run around like a headless chicken... lol

I've smoked, vaped, eaten it for over 50 years. Travelled around most of the producing countries of the East & Africa in the 70s. Grown much and spent time with several breeders too. Indica, Sativa and Ruderalis are real. A zillion hybrids confuse the Taxonomy thse days.
Read some of the definitive texts/history rather than rely on rumour, hearsay, forums ( like this one!) and you will be well informed - recommend a start with Robert Connell-Clarke""Hashish" PDF easily found on the web. 8)

I think this is a really interesting topic.

Literature (e.g. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-54564-6_4; https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322819487_Cannabis_Taxonomy_The_'sativa'_vs_'indica'_debate; https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/can.2015.29003.ebr) disputes that the two are categories of weed with distinct effects, not least due to interbreeding and two hundred year old taxonomical confusion. I'd probably agree with this.

But if this was 100% the case, then why would so many people (myself included) claim to feel different effects with indica strains vs sativa?

One option is placebo - obviously a very powerful mechanism and I'd like to see blind trials about this.

My current theory which I've been thinking about a lot recently is that it's due to terpenes - as they are widely believed to mediate the effects of cannabis, is it possible that some are more prevalent in indica strains and others are more prevalent in sativa strains?

Obviously exploring the entourage effect and terpenes in cannabis, and even research involving cannabis in general, is a relatively new field so I'm excited to see what we find out in the next decade and beyond.

The interaction between terpene levels and cannabinoids is most likely the explanation for the perceived differences between indica and sativa.

A lot of sativas have little to no cbd, cdb affects the way thc acts, a lot of sativas have lemon, orange or citrus terps which seem to be the more uplifting and eurphoric terps, so sativas having an uplifting effects but being more likely to induce anxiety makes sense given terp and cannabinoid profiles.

Yep, that example with sativa strains often being limonene dominant is what I'd noticed to get me thinking about this.

It's funny though because indica dom strains can make me para which is contradictory to the typical assumption that sativa = anxiety. Obviously everyone is different and will see different effects but it would be nice to know about contributing factors.

We really need to see more research on this; it's honestly surprising that it's so under researched as the medical applications (esp for mental health) really demand understanding of these issues.

I don’t know really. A lot of it is down to the grower and how good they are. That has the most influence on affect for me.

Hey Family,

It is not as both have different highs and affect differently on every individual. Some prefer Indica or some prefer Sativa , its basically what they body and mind likes. We have topic on this and link is included in post.

Peace and Respect

Indica strains are the "Netflix and chill" of cannabis, known for their sedative effects that can leave you comfortably glued to the couch. On the other hand, Sativa strains are the "let's paint the living room" of cannabis, renowned for their uplifting and creative effects that can get you off the couch and into an artistic frenzy. Am I hitting the right notes here?

Interesting post, I have been thinking the same myself recently. Been smoking 20 years and I have always seeked out indicas as I preferred the couch lock but I have recently been trying to try a few sativas to try and get more of a creative high. found nothing yet, any suggestions on a strain if not just looking for a sativa?

I generally dislike pure sativas and hazes, but super silver haze is the exception for me, I've really enjoyed that many times worth considering have seen some listed on here

Dr Grinspoon, Sour Diesel, Ghost Train Haze, Mimosa. To name a few Sativa's. I spent close to a year living in Amsterdam, and I definitely noticed the difference. Sativa's or hybrids, will leave you buzzed, so best to only smoke these either morning or afternoon. Save the indica for late night, or a day on the couch with TV.

Mimosa 🤮😂

I was going so say mimosa, no matter how good it is, those orange terps remind me of burning rubber. Strange.

So glad I’m not alone in hating mimosa terps. The first time I smelled/tasted it, I genuinely thought the weed was bogus. Like it had been artificially flavoured with something nasty. Then when I got good mimosa it was the exact same terps. Not for me like.

I’d say Stardawg too, just because it was fuckin everywhere and was normally sub par.

I like Mimosa for the effect and I don't mind the taste. I am not keen on some of the other strains that taste similar like Tangerine Dream so I can see where you're coming from. Citrus strains can be hit and miss on the terps front.

I think Mimosa is the only strain taste wise that lives up to the hype. 90% of weed tastes to me exactly what it is- heated vegetation. All the “mouth watering “ descriptions completely pass me by…occasionally I get pine bathroom cleaner but heyho…
So I tend not to chase flavours at all and just go for effects, and I love the effects of a good Mimosa. I might have mentioned it😉

I hear you, I’d say I’m less of a flavour hunter too and more just looking for ways to encourage variety. I’ve definitely been let down by mouth watering descriptions a lot, but at the same time been surprised a lot too. I’m not really sure how much truth there is in all this supposed terp nuance either tbh…
What I do know is that I absolutely love a traditional stenchy, skunky, weed flavour. Not even sure what it’s called. We’ve spoken about the vomit vibes before haha, I want that shit! Smells like Mother Nature’s entire raw effluence.

“Smells like Mother Nature’s entire raw effluence.”

🤩😂🤩😂- what a line!!

Preach! Innit - where’s the stanky pungent slap in ya face skunk at? Miss it, used to get my hands on some proper stuff about 12yrs ago . Must still be around somewhere

I definitely taste different flavours. And Mimosa makes me sick 😂 Saying that I usually taste weed as it smells until I’ve smoked a couple spliffs. Then it’s hit or miss. Weird 😂 That’s the wonderful thing with Cannabis. The variety is astounding so everyone and their preferences are catered for 😁

Bang on, I’m not into any tangey variants either. I accidentally bought some expensive import bud a few weeks ago that had tangey/mimosa heritage. The bud was clearly excellent in every department, probably well worth the money, but the terps ruined it for me. Just tasted artificial, almost like a nicotine vape or something. Different strokes and all that.

Haha, I forgot about Dawg - probs cause I don't count it as a usable option

Juice 💚 💦

Hate the taste but iv yet to find a strain that is almost comparable to taking codine for feel good factor. I’ll smoke dry straw for that

White Widow

Stuff gives me the shakes and heart palpitations. Had it from different growers at different times, it just disagrees with me.
The Brazilian sativa element is too racy and the Indian indica just melts you. It’s always an intense Indica v Sativa battle.
Usually with hybrids I get the sativa effect then it chills into indica but white widow pummels me with both from the get go and leaves me meditating to the ganja gods with tai chi breathing to alleviate me from the poisonous kiss of White Widow.

I use to get that from ammi I'm already a anxious smoker and amnesia haze was a horrible experience especially cause it was actually decent bud

Anything with piney terps for me - just really reminds me of those car air fresheners 🤮🌲 not a fan. Dunno if I am on my own with that one lol

Lemon Tree is the strain I most dislike. I use to love a good lemon skunk or lemon haze 20 years ago. Not the same anymore.

Super silver haze. Smelled like cats piss and had no body high. Muscles felt restless and uncomfortable.

All 'Haze' are sativa dominant aren't they, so yeah, you get the head high but no body chill. I know what you mean about muscles feeling that way - I get achey neck/shoulders and back and no body chill, and that's with various hybrids.

Stardawg is like the equivalent of Lambert and butler smokes.

that's an easy answer ... any that don't get me high (normally not a strain blame, more a grower blame) ... so reckons the jackal 😎😎

That's really tough Blazin. I'm going back a bit but if I remember the flavour of ak-47 was too floral for my liking.

Once grew some Barney's Farm LSD and it tasted awful.

I did exactly the same, worst tasting strain I ever grew!

Tasted like dirty cooking oil!

Can’t remember the taste, just remember it was vile! Quite strong though!

I really dislike a haze 👎

Way back I got some free seeds with the seeds I ordered. NYC diesel they were, so I grew them and was so disappointed, it tasted awful. Haven't really gone for diesel since. Have smoked loads of diesel cross.

Everest is another, it's not that I dislike the taste/high etc, but I find if I'm on it for multiple days then it really brings my mood down.

Not a fan of tangie / orange strains, smells straight like smelly people

I got four, and they're all because of the terrible taste -

Tropicana
Tropicana Cookies
Tangie
Tangiesicle

Top two, because I can't stand ones with a pine taste. Second two, because they taste like smoking candle wax

Never been fussed on Zkittles or Dosido either - usually because they're not grow well


Juice 💚 💦

I've not tried the Tropicana strains, but I do agree about the Tangies as I don't get on with the taste of them either.

I get a vibe from some strains, mainly I’d describe more indica leaning and berry types.

Makes me introspective. Can get dark. But it’s also when you swim in the creative madness of semi-subconscious which when young, or in the wrong place can be no different than a mushroom experience.

Set and setting applies with *all* consumption I think 🤔 but I have a theory that plants also pick up on the vibe of their grower + there is also just a 💩 grow, right?

i along with alot of people i know dont like how gelato tastes but it always hits you like mad, its usually good when crossed i had gelonade recently n that was great, also had silver haze once and i thought it tasted like having coins in your mouth :(

first time commenting here hope im not just waffling on some ancient thread XD

Orange Cookies in the dam 🤮 was awful smelled like old people and tasted like burnt rubber. really didnt enjoy it. Threw it in the bin the moment i left the shop.

lemon haze; for some reason can always smell it before i can see it and it makes me instantly dizzy - icl it smells divine sometimes, but i just can't do it lol

I had a prescription for pink kush and sour tangie. Sour tangie provides good effects but smells like sick. Same goes for Sour D too

Albodawg

JACK HERER—🤢
Good one.🤣🤣

Sadly it’s one of few that actually do anything to me these days.
Marmite.
Love it or hate it ay.

Guaranteed cough.

Biscotti. Makes me too disorientated.

Update: have tried biscotti again as I was given some as a freebie and this one is a lot nicer, and no disorientation.

My latest is mimosa. Smells like baby sick.

Had some sativa dominant bit a few weeks back that was a grapefruit cross of some kind. Jeez, it was awful.

Another one I don’t like is Gelato.
It’s a palate thing and we’re all different ay.

Stardawg 100% was the only thing I could get hold of for the longest time and just absolutely sickened myself with it. Can’t stand it now would prefer literally anything else over it

Cookiedawg. Overpowering terps with low potency literally came to little biggy because all i could get was dawg variants round my area.

Shame on all of you for the Mimosa hate ! lol

Haha I fully agree with cookiedawg - one of the most vile tasting strains I've had lol, the terps just don't mix well together.

I also hated 24k Gold - it just made me feel sick the 2 separate times I had that strain.

Number one: stardawg. And all the crosses. People seem to love it, I don't.
Number two: Gorilla glue. It's strong, yeah, but seemingly at the expense of everything else. I've had nice glue crosses though.
Number three: lemon haze. This one's slightly unfair but for ages it's all anyone grew around here so I just don't care if I never see another bag of lemon in my life.
The other one worthy of note is the thin mint. I don't know what they were thinking there.

Anyway, that's me. Other people are different.

Gorilla Glue is like Russian roulette with 5 Chambers loaded.
At it's best, it is hard to better. I have had some good tasting examples but they are becoming rarer.
The genetics are laden with problems so it is difficult to get the correct pheno from seed. But if you have the correct clone (as is the case with chemdawg) and it is grown and cured adequately, it is a very nice smoke imo.

It's completely possible I've not had the best versions but also maybe just a taste or body chemistry thing where for whatever reason those strains don't do it for me. I'm unlikely to test the theory any further by buying more when there's a myriad of sweeter options at LB that are more up my street. The world would of course be boring if we were all the same.

It sure would.
And of course, you are the best person to judge your own factors.
I have had 2 different lots from different vendors on here, and they were both disappointing.

To be fair to the vendors on here I've not had any of the strains I've mentioned from anyone on LB. There's definitely more exciting strains to me available here so I'm unlikely to backtrack just to make sure I don't like it though.

My gorilla grow of 10 strains that was rumbled contained GG.
Still haven’t had it.
If a good example appears on here-please shout me someone!!
Thanks

We got some fresh zkittlez in. I really dislike haze tho just smells of roach spray honestly . Idk how it got so famous

Ribena - although I love the drink .

The weed strain dosent relate. Didn’t burn well .
Black ash and just a chemical taste

Anything with Moonbow in it. Just tastes like cloves to me. 🤢🤮

anything purple for me, i have no idea why and its sad because it looks so pretty but it doesn't agree with me.

Anything that doesn't melt me into the floor 🗿

Any sour/cat piss strains. Don't like the taste and the high is never anything special.

I never liked LA Confidential or any of its crosses….far too floral tasting.

Stardawg

Dislike any orange strains personally. Also not a huge fan of gelato 41. It’s too sweet and lingers on the lips in our opinion. If you enjoy the sweeter strains then probably your cup of tea

Iv not figured out the common denominator but some strains have me feeling I can’t be arsed with anyone or anything in a none good way and like a what’s the point type feeling.

I get it with some runtz not all , had it with gg4 but not gorilla skitz. Its defo not my mood at the time either as I know that gets pointed at a lot
