I've smoked weed for over 2 years now. There are times where I run out, dealers are dry or i'm in another country. I want to talk about my withdrawal and see if anyone has something similar as the majority of people who respond or make videos about not smoking weed for at least 2 weeks have the following symptoms:

Vivid Dreams
Cold sweats in the night
Loss of appetite
Bored

Doesn't sound to bad right? Well for me its fucking horrible and I want to see if at least one person goes what I go through. I feel like there must be something wrong with me to go what i'm going through so i'm gonna do some tests start of next year to see if there is a gland problem or something.

This is what I go through:

Massive sweating in hands, feet and armpits ALL DAY

Hard time to sleep, starts off with around 3 hours of sleep and get an extra 30 mins / hour everyday

Bored

Anxious

Honestly the only one that is giving me trouble is the constant sweating all day, it is fucking horrible. Symptoms don't seem to go away until around week 3 and a half and i've only gone off weed for a month one time simply because the dealer I had got nicked.

If anyone else has had worse or at least different symptoms, how did you tackle it and what did you go through?

Did You Miss Me?

It's been a long time since I wrote a topic so I thought it was about time and I should explain my absence.

I'm Still Alive

Back in November I got covid/flu and got a bit of an infection afterwards with a few complications. I'm not a youngling anymore and I was a wee bit ill so I completely stopped smoking.

No More Tobacco

As I mixed tobacco into my joints it seemed to be a step forward to quit that anyway. The dull and grimey coloured packets themselves have long assured me in both photographic and boldly written formats that it's very bad stuff.

But THC is Good For Me

To keep cannabis flowing into my bloodstream I moved onto a mixture of edibles and dry herb vaping to see how I went with it. I'd planned to start smoking pure rolls once I'd recovered but I smoke surprisingly few of them even though my lungs are working again and I'm back to normal health.

I've sort of got used to the dry herb vaping. It took quite a while to fully adapt to it which is why I stopped doing the review write-ups. I quite like it now though.

Vaping For Pros

My dry herb vape is an X-max V3 pro. And like pretty much all products with the word 'pro' in the title it's unlikely to actually ever be used at any professional level.

I bought the glass mouthpiece for it which is much nicer than the standard plastic recorder-styled mouthpiece and I also bought a tube of horrifically overpriced dosing capsules. Both were recommended by an LB user so thanks to whoever that was. At the prices they charge for the capsules it was probably the Xmax CEO on LB. Multiple capsules are really essential for convenient heavy usage as I can stack them up preloaded and fire through them one at a time but honestly the price of them genuinely takes the piss.

Which Vape Do You Have?

I'm interested in other people's vaping equipment and experiences so please jump into the comments section. What do you use and why do you love it? I'd genuinely like to hear the opinions of LB weed vapers.

Mighty Plus

I was going to buy a Mighty Plus but I tried my mates regular Mighty out and my Xmax seemed better on flavour in a Pepsi challenge using Z-cube in both. A sidenote - the Z Cube from Green Cat was superb. It looked a bit scrappy, was a bit sticky, but flavour wise it was the full sweetshop of loveliness. I saved most of it for Christmas. The Mighty was an incredible device in the effective speed at which it turned cannabis into vapour. It was amazing really. But it didn't have me leaping to buy one.

Psychological Challenge

The other thing I didn't like as much was a psychological thing which I didn't expect but it was definitely a thing. The Xmax is sort of a bit cigaretty in shape and usage whereas the Mighty is less so. I find that familiarity in look and feel oddly comforting in terms of replacing smoking. However I did like the kick-arse heating element on the Mighty I must admit.

Superboof

This is the main reason I started writing this topic. As usual I've written an essay before even getting going. At least some things don't change.

I know there's a lot more orange fans on LB than orange buds generally so I like to share a good one when I know it's about.

The superboof strain is honestly one of my favourite buds of all time. Despite the changes in my weed absorption style, I can still tell this is a lovely example from The Wizard of Oz as soon as I open the bag.

Orange Promises

This boof is formed of dense nugs and you can immediately smell the orange heritage. The grinder confirms this as it unleashes orangey promises into the air.

Orange Clouds

In the vape the delicious orange flavours flow through in some nice thick cloudy vapour. That first initial hit of terps have the full dank dark orangeness I love. The stone is typically orange-like too in its double stage delivery.

At first it hits with a bit of energy. It's not panicky like a lemon haze but it definitely fires up your mind. The second stage about ten minutes later suddenly sedates it into a heavier chill.

Best of Both

Orange bud flavours are a best of both worlds high for me hence me passionately hyping them up every time some lands in my stash. This superboof is linked so if you fancy trying it for yourself click on that and go check it out on the Twoz listing page.

Thanks For Reading

Thanks for reading my topic - sorry it's been so long since I've written one. I hope it was informative and if not I hope it's been entertaining in some way.

I'd thought about doing various write ups over the last couple of months but I really took a lot of adjusting to things and I'd sometimes start but just struggle to find the words. So I'm glad to be back.

Hopefully I'll get back to doing these topics more regularly when I find bits and bobs that make me excitable - and so long as people on LB are interested in reading them.

I look forward to seeing you all in the next topic. Thanks LB. Let me know about your vaping setups in the comments section.

The Kid Who Ate All The Sweets

I was like a kid in a sweet shop on LB when I first joined. While that feeling hasn't ever quite left me I had really started to zone into my favourites and derivatives of late and had gotten into a bit of a loop.

More Sparkle

When it came to order time I was becoming less excited and as I'd seek out the same things on repeat it felt more mundane. It was a chore like popping to the supermarket. Now, in many ways, that's exactly how buying dried herbs online should feel like and I fully adore Little Biggy for making it so, but I just wanted to get a little bit of the sparkle back into our relationship.

Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit

I've probably mentioned previously once or twice that I quite like orange bud for example. So things like Green Cats Mimosa or Cannabis Cannibals Superboof were an obvious match for my tastes and I have repeatedly thrown my coins at those sorts of products. I've actually got a little Mimosa tucked away from Green Cat currently. Lovely stuff. I'm not faulting it for a moment.

Changing Behaviours

However, for my most recent order I fancied something different than I usually go for. But what? How do I change up the monotony of my own purchase behaviour loop?

Fear

While I wanted to roll the dice on something different I didn't want to end up stuck with weed I don't enjoy. That fear was holding me back.

Budget

I'm on a budget like I suspect many people here are so I can't just keep buying endless bits of weed until I find something that tickles my fancy, I have to smoke what I buy. Yes, not exactly a hardship, but it's still my reality and so whatever I do buy I'm making a commitment to.

Leap Of Faith

I decided to put my faith and trust in the Green Cat buyers ratings for my new choice as I was ordering a super-cheapie there anyway. Things like the Silver Bubble or the more recent Red Kush are incredibly well priced stash fillers.

This Is All Your Fault

I looked through the recent GC ratings and I picked from the things you folks rated the highest at the time. These are your 9.9's. So this introduction was basically just a very long way to say that if this all goes badly then I'm blaming you. It is everyone else's fault but mine.

My Order

I ended up ordering two flavour types I've had before but that I didn't really love. I went for Apple Fritter and Cream Soda. I really hoped the GC customers were onto something I'd missed. Both of these were at 9.9 ratings - albeit on fairly low volumes of reviews. I couldn't help but feel that I may be doing a stupid thing here but it was a new thing and I felt excited by it so I ran with it.

An Exercise In Trust

This is the cannabis buying equivalent of the trust exercise when you stand up then have to fall backwards with your eyes shut and rely upon someone catching you so you don't stack it into the floor. Will the GC customers have my back and catch me? Or am I hitting the deck? Let's find out.

Apple Fritter

https://littlebiggy.net/link/ZXYkvG

Let's start with the Apple Fritter. This is 65 bucks a quarter. I've had an apple strain before and I didn't like it. It had an unpleasant tang and a headiness I didn't get on with. Even as I write that sentence I am reviewing my own stupidity. There will be no need for anyone to point this out to me if it goes badly.

Grinding Apple

The Apple Fritter unsurprisingly has an apple smell immediately in the grinder. There's more complexity than that but it's fully earned at least half its name. Since I'm not an apple fan my first thought is to wonder what the hell I was thinking. However, we're all in and committed now so let's see what's what.

Smoking Apple

Lighting up I'm met with nice thick smoke and an initial musk note that reminds me of the old musky silver haze flavour I can't seem to find anywhere.

At first I thought it was going to be like a fruity nerds which has a similar backnote. But this is quickly overpowered with sour notes that remind me of an apple laced sour diesel. This sourness is packaged up inside some sweeter notes making it a really interesting and balanced smoke that remains tasty and varied throughout.

I Like It

I'm enjoying it much more than I expected. Which is good as I've bought a bit of it so I'll be chugging at it for a couple of days.

The hit has a heady few minutes to kick off which is then eased with a slow hitting but heavier chilled stone. So it's not manic or too cerebral. It does get your attention but is very easy to get along with.

Overall

Overall it's a lovely smoke and I thank the good people of Little Biggy for rating it highly and thus aiming me at it for purchase.

Your Reviews Help

If you ever wonder if your buyer reviews have an impact then they do and I hope this makes you feel better about taking the time to do them. Apple Fritter reviewers - I thank you.

But What About The Creamy One?

It's 1-0 to the GC reviewers so far. Will they bang in the winner? I've had cream strains a few times and I don't fully understand them. I don't dislike them the way I dislike Stardawg or Lemon Haze but I generally don't seem to get along with them.

Generally they've seemed to me to be a way to dilute a nicer flavour that was trying to get out. Again I don't need anyone to point out my own stupidity for ordering something I might not like but so far it's actually worked out great.

Cream Soda

https://littlebiggy.net/link/ks0JLi

The Cream Soda has decent sized buds that are pretty dense. Like the apple it's also 65 bucks a quarter.

Grinding Cream

In the grinder it immediately reminds me of Gelato. It's not a derivative strain though as far as I know.

Smoking Cream

Sparking it up the first drag was a little muted but the early tastes I get are subtle notes of cream with a gassy or kushy note. Maybe there's a blue hint in there. Maybe it's not as fruity as a blue and it's more like a red wine. For me the cream does dull this but it is slick and velvety smooth to smoke. Perhaps that's a core appeal to cream fans.

Creamed

The stone is decently strong but very easy. It arrives as smoothly as it smokes so it's like it's giving you a bit of a cuddle. It's a very safe high but not by any means weak. It keeps on arriving after you think it's arrived. Then it arrives some more. But it's a reassuring high that is easy going and feels like everything is pretty okay.

Quality Check

I'm going to dip into this again later as it may have been a little muted because I'd been at the apple for a while. You won't have to wait though as this is not a live performance.

Round Two

Okay we're going for round two on the Cream Soda. In the grinder, along with the vanilla that reminds me of Gelato is a sort of soured port barrel smell like a cookies or a Durban strain. Perhaps these are the soured wine and fruit notes I was trying to describe earlier.

Second Smoke

Smoking the second one I'm still at butter cream icing flavours that stifle potentially fruitier notes. It still reminds me of a creamy gelato. It is a nice strong smoke and I am enjoying it though.

The more I plow through it the more I enjoy the stone which really is lovely and keeps on rolling in after you stub. However, for me, it's just missing a magic something. There's nothing wrong with the weed itself - I'm pretty sure that the cream lovers at GC were correct with their high rating - it's just a flavour that's just not quite right for me.

Flavour wise it is both literally and figuratively a bit too vanilla for my tastes. I'm still glad I've tried it though and the strong stone is well worth it.

Conclusion

- Will I do this again?

Yes, I'll push my comfort zone and put my trust in the LB community more often. Maybe I'll buy some Lemon Haze or Stardawg next to really test my limits.

- Which was the best strain?

The Apple is definitely my preference but the cream is probably the stronger of the two.

Final Words

I'm glad I tried a couple of different flavours outside of my usual comfort zone. One I'll have again, one probably not so much. Sorry cream lovers. But either way at least I opened my world up to a new experience and that's made me feel more alive which can only be a positive. I'm also really stoned so it feels like a win all round.
