Well, I've only ever had personal access via dealers who never have much selection.
I don't know what options are available for medical card-holders.

Ah. Gotta get yourself an MJ card my good man. It's life changing

They're not banning the strains, just the names. I'm sure growers and dispensaries can think of more clever branding that doesn't let critics say they're appealing to kids. This is "Don't take Joe Camel from me!" levels of faux-anguish. Be adult about your adult activities.

You mean go to a really laid back doctor who'll prescribe anything to anybody, make up an ailment, and fake my way to an MJ card? Just doesn't seem to be the right thing to do.
You are the kind of person that just enjoys fucking yourself in the ass if it means some feigned sense of morality.
The point is to get a card for whatever your usage needs may be, no matter how minor or major. But I don't think they issue them to people on high horses lol.

You read me wrong. I'm not on a high horse I just don't think I can play up any of my issues as severe enough to get a card. That's all.
Minor insomnia is probably the best thing I could come up with.

Wow, not being an asshole at all right there, smh. He doesn't want to lie to a doctor and that's the response he gets?

Yeah that was pretty extreme.
I can understand. If you don't see marijuana truly benefiting a health condition you may have, then there's no need to lie about it.
But he'd rather buy it off the black market. Totally better than telling a doc you want something for sleep. Yeah, OK. 😄
The mental gymnastics some people will do.

It's not about mental gymnastics, it's about how much a jerk you across as when trying to make your point. No need to bash him

Hah. You guys are so silly for arguing about this. It's no biggie.
Anyway, I'm all in for Question 4!

So, my Crafty seems to have shit the bed completely within the past few days. I noticed it hasn't quite been able to handle my 10 second draws lately, the LED would go red after around 6 seconds, and it would take around 40 seconds to heat back up between draws when it usually takes 20. No biggie I thought, I've had it for a while now and I use it almost everyday, I can deal with it. Then yesterday it started cutting out mid-draw and running out of battery within one session. Tried it once more last night on a full charge and the battery was depleted within 3 hits. It's fucked.

I got some edibles that are 140 mg THC, how strong is this? I don't have much experience with edibles

That's a lot for someone without much edibles experience. You're better off taking about 1/6 of that, wait two hours, and take another 1/6 if you feel like it.

My PAX 2 is still going strong with almost daily use since it first came out. An absolute workhorse worth every penny.

140mg would wreck me.
Hell 14mg might wreck me.
I would start out with 10mg if I were you

Had half of it, was pretty strong and lasted half this day, did not expect that
But it took an hour to kick in so I kept eating it
adamsappel

This is where everyone screws up. "Man, I don't feel anything yet! Better eat some more." And it's not something to do at night if you have anything important to do the next day. You will still be high.
Don't fuck around with edibles. All of their marketed dosage is based off guess work. I get absolutely thrashed by edibles because each company/maker measures differently or doesn't even measure correctly. Think about it... Their materials vary wildly in strength. One batch of trim might be wayyyy stronger than the other.

Got some Ethos Indica tincture spray. I few sprays under you tongue and you get a nice relaxing calm. We got it since my wife can't really smoke. We tried vape cartridges but were disappointed. I felt a nice calm after 2 sprays, but it took my wife 4 to feel anything, and she is half my size. It is true that people react differently.
I also got some pre-rolls to try out. One of them was called Death Star, so I had to get it!

I'm attempting to T-break until November. My oils are running out too fast now.
I think I want to move on to herb vaping in the future. I want to go big for a Volcano or something. Probably won't be until next year or so though.
Haha. Do you remember it now?

What's the advantage of using a vapor over just smoking a bowl?
For me, I live in a smoke-free apartment, and I'm not really interested in smoking anyway.
Bruce Springsteen

what about in terms of the high? any difference? I was looking at the g pen
I honestly don't know myself. I only started using cannabis this year at all (besides an edible my mom gave me years ago, which had little effect on me) and my only real experience is with wax/oil pens so far. I did more experimentation with oral/edibles for about a week once some months ago but it just wasn't working to any worthwhile level no matter what I tried to do.
I've heard that pens in general aren't really as good as say a real dab rig, and that they're mostly for portability. I'm fine with what I get out of my best pens for now, but I don't know how it would be for those more experienced.
Though I will say I've still yet to experience a high as intense and crazy as during as my first major trip (a few days or so after starting). I'd clearly done more than any previous time (3 hits with the last one being massive), and it was scary as hell. I felt detached, paranoid, and experienced time passing in very slow motion. When I walked around, I felt like I was living in a slide-show. I've never managed to get anywhere near this again, no matter how much I do lol.

lol yes I got the chance to ask my friend a day later: Platinum Kush it was and I had a fat bowl of it that day.
That strain is dangerous in a bowl but relaxing when vaped.

Will recreational pass in California this time? This would be huge for the movement
Hope so. I'm voting for the first time ever mainly because of this.
Can anybody say if the GravLabs bongs are worth it over just a regular pipe or bong for a casual?

Recreational should pass everywhere. People need to get informed just a little bit about marijuana and the benefits of legalization. If they'd take their heads out of the sand, they'd realize that legalization isn't only inevitable in the long run, but beneficial to states due to revenue, taking the black market down a notch, and improving research initiatives.
The more people are willing to research marijuana, the more they will understand the benefits of legalization. The ads saying "no on 4" are absolutely ridiculous and, shall I say, extremist. Neighborhoods aren't going to become destroyed by dispensaries.
Allowing legalization means that knowledge can expand. Being against legalization is being against the freedoms we have to discover alternatives to other medicines. Anyone with a lick of sense will vote yes on Question 4 because they will realize that the War On Drugs is fruitless if it focuses on marijuana, which is a substance that has zero overdose situations associated with it, with exceptions. You can't die purely from absorbing too much THC, but obviously you can take a dose of a certain strain that induces too many psychological effects for a newcomer. A few cases of people jumping off of balconies (because they mistakenly took a high dose without being educated on how dosing work) shouldn't lead to prohibition overall. Proper dosing is imperative to any drug. Education, not prohibition, is key to fighting the so-called "War on Drugs."
People need to get their heads on straight with this issue.
Question 4 is likely the best we'll get. It has limitations, but the local governments can always make adjustments. Personal, legal in-home use is important, and being able to grow your own is a right that I fully support. This is not corporate marijuana legalization, this is sensible marijuana legalization, and that's why I'm for it.

Vaporizing, you tend to get a more amazing and clean taste. Different taste too. But it also doesn't quite last, or linger in your mouth.
The thing about smoking cannabis is like any aquired taste, after a while your taste buds filter out the nasty tasting stuff. Thats why people get obsessed with the taste of things like Whiskey, cigars, and cannabis. Eventually, the good stuff will taste fucking incredible, and cannabis imo is at the top of the list.
Smoking it, good stuff, after a certain point, just becomes heaven. I don't think the heights of vaporizing match the heights of smoking, but to most people vaporizing is a much better and less nasty way of consuming cannabis, especially newer consumers. But vaporizing is clearly a healtheir thing. Teeth and cardiovascular, are the two most immediate and obvious benefits.
Also vaporizing handheld machines, can be very very stealthy and discreet. Hitting in cinemas, parks or bathrooms to no one else being wiser, if you should wish.

Funnily enough I tried some the other day. It knocked me on my ass. I hadn't smoked for 3-4 weeks prior, though, so my tolerance wasn't like normal. Gave me a super strong body high and put me in a great mood. 10/10 would vape again.
