Did you smoke more pot/take more gummies after it became legal in your state? (3 Viewers)

[Juxtatarot]

Also, the munchies are a real thing. I have to also set out my snacks in advance but half the time I just wind up raiding my kids' candy jars.

Reminds me of my MIL's first time eating a gummy. She had 5 mgs. She was standing there speaking with me (her SIL) and my BIL (her bio son) explaining that maybe she needs to take more and she doesn't understand the experience. We kept speaking with her and carried on the conversation. She even claimed after about ten minutes that maybe she's like our boy Major and is immune.

That's when we both pointed out to her that she had just eaten four of my kids' donuts during the conversation despite all of us finishing a large dinner maybe an hour prior. Her confusion turned disbelief turned to realization was pretty funny.

Yeah my plan was to ramp up usage and drink less but I still drank just as much. Or when I do willingly drink less I end up eating a bunch of snacks

I'm fortunate enough where if I'm taking an edible I actually have no desire to drink. In fact, twice this weekend I drank on the golf course (not crazy but enough where if I kept it going through the evening the next day would have be rough) and then switched to an edible afterwards to cut the need to keep drinking and instead switch to electrolytes the rest of the evening.

The above notwithstanding, no box of sour patch kids or skittles stands a chance if I have them about two hours into an edible. I had to awkwardly explain to my son that no his sister (who does have her own history of stealing her siblings' candy) didn't take his gummy worms but that Daddy did and I'll buy him more.

Yeah, I always had to watch myself with drinking. Once pot became legal in my state, I pretty much gave drinking up. I only drink now when a social situation calls for it. I don’t recall being drunk in years.

My munchie intake is on another level. I usually hit up Dollar Tree to replenish my candy/snacks supply about 1-2 times every 2-3 weeks. Those frequent purchases + my dispensary purchases, and I am still spending waaaaay less than I used to with booze.

For regular gummy users please ignore this post. For first timers or people looking to try them take this as an honest review from someone who has never tried:


I took in everyone's input and then just decided to take the entire 25 mg gummy. I concluded half measures don't make sense. I have no responsibilities for the evening so it's full measure time.

I knew if the hunger hit I wanted food on the ready. Grilled some burgers and mushrooms, then made a big shrimp cocktail. Put some peach pasties and cinnamon rolls in the oven. Had the chips and salsa ready. I was set.

Throughout the night I never had this moment where I thought I'm really messed up. It was subtle things I did that said I was in a decent spot.

I called the dogs inside saying the word "breat" instead of "treat." In my mind, I literally thought I was tricking them because they couldn't tell the difference. I believed I didnt owe them a treat. I began laughing at myself.

I spent about an hour flipping through countless clips of guitar solos from the 80s and 90s. I caught myself studying strum hand fingering positionings. I began laughing at myself.

Made peach pastries. Was upset we were out of whip cream, but instantly felt joy when I knew we had vanilla ice cream. Put ice cream in bowl and started cutting the peach pastries into slices over the ice cream with my kitchen scissors. I stopped cutting and just started laughing because this got way too fancy fast.

I spent prolly 30 minutes individually holding each one of my 7 lbs dogs scratching their head and looking into their eyes. I was trying to figure out which one loves me the most. I had quite a few tender moments eye gazing with each one. I began laughing at myself.

Scrolled my feed and saw a quote, "Sobriety is when your children look at you and trust what they see." Hit me hard. Spent the next 45 minutes wondering if I was a good father. I began laughing at myself.

I spent prolly 30 minutes staring at the food in my kitchen in the eyes of how much protein is in each item. I concluded protein is everywhere but some items have way more. I began laughing at myself.

I think overall the experience was quite nice. Just put me in nice state of mind. So calm. It's just way different then back in the day getting stoned. Back in the day when you got stoned, you had an immediate physical response, followed by moments screaming I'm so high. I never felt this with the gummy. These gummies are like a slow cooking crock pot. A wonderful and gradual increase in calmness. The calmness was just so relaxing. Bottom line, I just felt silly and wanted to laugh, but also felt like a really smart deep thinker. I can see these being helpful to people with stress. Also, I'm fit and really watch my calories. I ate more calories last night then last week combined. It was embarrassing how much I ate. These gummies will add weight to you. No question.

These were Delta-9s, right? I would still start with 5mg when you move to the regular THC gummies.

Also, if one doesn't want to get too sleepy/tired, then you need to partake in a sativa strain product. Sativa = social. indica = "in da couch".

Vape pens are great, well for ease of use and discretion. The 1g carts that I get usually last me about a week/week and a half. So, $25-50/week depending on quality is a pretty good bargain. My local dispensary just ran a "buy 2, get a 3rd for $0.01" deal for the medium priced ($25 each) carts that I get.

Yep.

1. I enjoy the hybrid sativa/indica/CBD gummy. Seems like the right amount to not immediately put to sleep but allow me to fall asleep pretty easily as well.
2. Difference between a pen and a gummy to me is that the pen is more like a "brain high" and wears off way faster whereas an edible you're along for a multi-hour ride and your whole body feels it.

98% of my drinking now is reserved for the golf course.* 2% is for a glass of wine with dinner or a beer at a social event (and I probably don't even finish it).


*I don't ingest THC when I play golf because it makes me less competitive.

Although I love my pen, I do miss the ritual and process of breaking buds apart and packing a bowl, or licking that Philly/Hav-a-Tampa/Swisher/Backwood and splitting it open to spill out the "guts", and then rolling a fatty and lighting that MFer up. I loved doing tricks with the smoke when I exhaled.

 

[Brunell4MVP]

Am I wrong for having never smoked pot? Nor having done any illegal drug? I no longer drink either. Guess I just never saw the point in the drugs, and I lost interest in alcohol around age 40. I mean if someone is happy without it, what's the need?

Are you wrong? Of course not. That's awesome that you abstain.

 

[Mister CIA]

Does your state have legal drinks? The weed drinks are a nice way to replace alcohol. You can get them in 2.5, 5 and 10 usually. I kind of consider 2.5 to be equal to a beer. You can get a nice controllable buzz with them and it has the same act as drinking.

I buy beverages in 100 mg units. They taste awful (forget the brand), but I have some overpriced Bloom "superfood" powder from Costco that makes it taste great.

It kind of doesn't count because you didn't burn the cinnamon rolls and trigger the smoke alarm. I mean, who among us ...

i also have a bottle that serves like liquor. Each shot I think is like 10mg and so you can make your own “mixed drink”. It tastes good, very citrus. The hard seltzer style drinks taste great. You can absolutely pound them like you were revoking a Bubly or Lacroix.

how many "times" would you say are in your $40 vape - and do you generally use it to get fairly stoned?

For occasional users these things last forever.

There isn't a need, as you've already described. What makes you think it's wrong?
Do you think there's something wrong with using cannabis?

It depends on a few things regardless of how much you smoke - the size of the cartridge and settings of your vape (high/low heat). I'd say the 1g carts will last you about a month. One thing about vapes is they just dont hit the same as real smoke. It's a nice portable device to carry around to maintain a high but I don't like it as my main source.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Regular carts I've only seen going up to 1g, but I found a disposable that is 2g. That thing took forever to run out. It did have to be recharged a couple times.

Was it 1g of indica and 1g of sativa split into dual chambers? Those things are very convenient.

No it was all a hybrid in one chamber.

 

[motoclube]

I definitely vaped more when it became legal in my state since it was just so much more accessible and there was way less stress about the whole thing. For a while, it felt almost unreal being able to go into a shop and pick whatever I was in the mood for, especially after years of figuring out sketchy ways to get it. It was actually the huge selection that got me to try new things, edibles, vape pens, and some of the newer premium e-liquids. I started getting into vape juices too. There are some really nice flavors, and E-Juice from Dinner Lady is a nice one I found if you’re just looking for smoother alternatives.

Just some general feedback based on a recent trip to NYC, I live in South Florida and had not visited in a long time, was happy they allowed for recreational
I have my "patient" card for medicinal here in Florida and almost never have an issue lighting up but you also are expected to keep it in your home/dwelling for the most part
You can't just walk down the streets of Tampa/Ybor lighting up a glass pipe full of buds, and for a lot of people thankfully so. I'm not sure I would want to see that either and I toke

The Good
-Could just light up in the middle of the day in whatever park I was sitting at. Smoked on the street several times and even had a couple folks join me or wanted to share what they had
-Had a wonderful time in Brooklyn at the dance clubs and was able to light up in the courtyards of all of them, usually attracted others to come take a puff as well or pull out theirs

The Bad
-NYC weed is mostly just average at best from everything I smoked, the weed in Florida is far more potent and taste a heckuva lot better than what I had up in NYC
Just keeping it real but I did like the ability to light up almost anywhere I pleased around the city.
I did put out my Js a couple times when I saw kids walking in my direction, unfortunately I can see others do not honor that practice and that's going to lead to some reforms sooner/later

-In Florida of late I have been frequenting the dispensaries more which is why I applied for the legal card I keep on me.
"Cookies" dispensary IMHO is the best of the best, they have many locations throughout Florida and I have to travel a ways to get to one but it's worth it
They don't sell a lot of edibles which i found funny with a name like Cookies, I assumed they had THC sweets, THEY DON'T! gummies but everyone carries those

They are worth the drive for their pre-roll Js, both the 1g which is too much for me in a single sit down, then they have the .5g pre rolls, 7-pack in glass jars, they rock
It's an expensive way to smoke your herb, you're paying for convenience at $14 per 1g roll
But...I'm on their text list (legal drug pushers) and on Tuesdays they run 1g pre rolls BOGO, yep you get a 2 for 1 deal just on those super size ones. 2 for $14 basically
I would say I easily go thru about 1-2 of those bigger pre rolls daily, more on a Sat/Sun

The dispensary like many others also runs their buds on sale quite a bit throughout the week
I still think Florida gets a lot of their buds from CA and CO although they are growing more here in Florida.

 

[Scoresman]

Anyone knowledgeable about tolerances? I take some CBN/THC, 10-15mg, about 3 times a week, no more than 2 days in a row with at least a 2 day break in between. Would I develop a tolerance this way? I kind of feel like the dosage is not giving me the same effect. If this is tolerance, how long of a tolerance break is typical?

Also, I switched from gummies to tinctures since it is more economical but this kind of coincided with the decrease in effect, are these less potent than gummies in general?

Yeah I think you can build up a tolerance over time
Not sure on edibles vs tincture but sometimes I feel like certain brands seem more potent. Could also be different in how your body is processing it

Can always take more

I also live in Michigan where they practically give it away for free so cost is usually not a concern for me I can usually get high all week for like $5 worth of gummies

Yes...it's definitely possible. I would definitely switch things up.

I would bet all of the cannabis in Florida shops is Florida grown. It cannot be transported across state lines.

Cookies just closed up in Michigan, the competition is way too strong.

Far as I know, Cookies doesn't own a single grow anywhere.

They are a brand, and they sign white label deals in various states. They partner with license holders, and slap their name on whatever they can.

Anyone knowledgeable about tolerances? I take some CBN/THC, 10-15mg, about 3 times a week, no more than 2 days in a row with at least a 2 day break in between. Would I develop a tolerance this way? I kind of feel like the dosage is not giving me the same effect. If this is tolerance, how long of a tolerance break is typical?

All I can say is what I know from personal experience. At different times of the day I use THC (mental relaxation), CBD (Pain relief and muscle relaxation), and CBN (to sleep). I haven't noticed a need to up the dosage of any of them to get the effects I want. So no tolerance issues so far for me.

Also, I switched from gummies to tinctures since it is more economical but this kind of coincided with the decrease in effect, are these less potent than gummies in general?

From all I've read, tinctures react more quickly (in minutes) while gummies react slower (45 min) but more strongly. Difference is due to how they enter the bloodstream I think. Try going back to gummies and see if the effects change back.

That's odd. Ive noticed that the tincture takes just as long as a gummy to hit. Usually just under 2 hours. I even put it under my tongue for a minute.

I might go back to gummies. Just pretty expensive out here.

I've only used a tincture maybe 5-7 times, but I do remember it kicking in fairly quickly for me. But I may be an outlier. I do know that, for me, gummies with the same amount of THC have a stronger effect than a tincture.

I know what you mean about prices. Sometimes if you shop on leafly, jane technologies, or weedmaps they will show you who locally has what products for what price. I'm a cheapskate.

Just some general feedback based on a recent trip to NYC, I live in South Florida and had not visited in a long time, was happy they allowed for recreational
I have my "patient" card for medicinal here in Florida and almost never have an issue lighting up but you also are expected to keep it in your home/dwelling for the most part
You can't just walk down the streets of Tampa/Ybor lighting up a glass pipe full of buds, and for a lot of people thankfully so. I'm not sure I would want to see that either and I toke

The Good
-Could just light up in the middle of the day in whatever park I was sitting at. Smoked on the street several times and even had a couple folks join me or wanted to share what they had
-Had a wonderful time in Brooklyn at the dance clubs and was able to light up in the courtyards of all of them, usually attracted others to come take a puff as well or pull out theirs

The Bad
-NYC weed is mostly just average at best from everything I smoked, the weed in Florida is far more potent and taste a heckuva lot better than what I had up in NYC
Just keeping it real but I did like the ability to light up almost anywhere I pleased around the city.
I did put out my Js a couple times when I saw kids walking in my direction, unfortunately I can see others do not honor that practice and that's going to lead to some reforms sooner/later

-In Florida of late I have been frequenting the dispensaries more which is why I applied for the legal card I keep on me.
"Cookies" dispensary IMHO is the best of the best, they have many locations throughout Florida and I have to travel a ways to get to one but it's worth it
They don't sell a lot of edibles which i found funny with a name like Cookies, I assumed they had THC sweets, THEY DON'T! gummies but everyone carries those

They are worth the drive for their pre-roll Js, both the 1g which is too much for me in a single sit down, then they have the .5g pre rolls, 7-pack in glass jars, they rock
It's an expensive way to smoke your herb, you're paying for convenience at $14 per 1g roll
But...I'm on their text list (legal drug pushers) and on Tuesdays they run 1g pre rolls BOGO, yep you get a 2 for 1 deal just on those super size ones. 2 for $14 basically
I would say I easily go thru about 1-2 of those bigger pre rolls daily, more on a Sat/Sun

The dispensary like many others also runs their buds on sale quite a bit throughout the week
I still think Florida gets a lot of their buds from CA and CO although they are growing more here in Florida.

I would bet all of the cannabis in Florida shops is Florida grown. It cannot be transported across state lines.

Cookies just closed up in Michigan, the competition is way too strong.

I'll put it another way, I have two channels for my buds. The dispensaries which I use mostly for their convenience (pre-rolls) and then I've had the same gentleman for the better part of the last 15 years, those buds are not grown in FL I assure you. And you're right on the dispensary buds, likely grown in FL, the best buds I have found thus far were at Cookies

-You said they shut down up where you are. Is Michigan a recreational state? Florida did not pass the recreational bill, so you have to obtain a card and there is more red tape and expense involved but I have felt much safer with the card in my wallet. I've had a police officer more than once just ask to see my card wherever I was and then hand it back and tell me to have a good day.

I tried vaping and that did not work very well for me, they sell those things fairly cheap at the dispensary, they gave me like a 3 for 1 deal when I first signed up, I gave one of those cartridges away I dislike them so much. They never get you as high as traditional buds. That said, vape stick/battery whatever you use, it does come i handy indoors and inside of cars where you want the smoke to evaporate quickly and not leave much of a smell behind.

Yeah. Cheapest I've found are Drops for about $20 a tin on sale. And they go fast!

Although admittedly I've only looked at the two dispensaries I can walk to.

That's interesting. I am smoking less often with the pre-rolls but i also feel like I am getting higher because once it's lit I want to keep it burning...but I use to smoke multiple bowls and still not feel as high as I sometimes wanted so my resistance was way too high. We went on the road start of June and are still not on our normal schedule because we decided to extend our remodeling after the kitchen was done to the entire rest of the house minus the bathrooms. I'm lucky to get a smoke in the morning with coffee although that has been hit n miss. My next best opp is in the late afternoon/early evening and lately once I do that I'm falling asleep at like 8-9-10 here I use to be a night owl. I kind of like waking up early refreshed, nice change.

Back to vaping, I have one of those "Randy" brand batteries and then I have a couple of vape flavors but like you say the high is not intense.
Also i find myself coughing and if I use the vape too much I can get a light chest pain that I've never had from buds ever in my life...for me it feels more organic but I also am aware there must be some chemicals involved in creating all these pot strands, maybe I'm wrong but I doubt it's just fertilizer and water.
The vapes are very handy for the car rides, inside the bars, inside many places even if it's frowned upon, you can step outside for a quick puff

That’s odd. Total opposite for me. Smoking clearly agitates my lungs more, more likely to cough. Vaping I pretty much never get that feeling. Usually hardly even feels like inhabiting much of anything.

That's not their parent company. I do business with Terrascend.

Cookies is a brand, and licenses their name. Someone can sell flower in a Cookies bag, but that doesn't mean Cookies is growing it. Someone pays Cookies to use their name, and basically fool the consumer.

Vaping I pretty much never get that feeling. Usually hardly even feels like inhabiting much of anything

I barely smoke flower, and like the control of a vape. Cause I like to be a little high, not baked. Giggly is the goal.

Man, I just received a sample of a concentrate vape, similar to this

Your can pack some sugar in this before you go, and dab half a gram on the sly. Very slick

That's odd. Ive noticed that the tincture takes just as long as a gummy to hit. Usually just under 2 hours. I even put it under my tongue for a minute.

I might go back to gummies. Just pretty expensive out here.

In Portland???

Yeah. Cheapest I've found are Drops for about $20 a tin on sale. And they go fast!

Although admittedly I've only looked at the two dispensaries I can walk to.

Damn, there's an outlet on Santa Cruz where I can get 100g (Froot brand) for $7. Was just browsing their web page and they got another brand (Saida) for $4. Want to try vaping but not sure where to jump in

I barely smoke flower, and like the control of a vape. Cause I like to be a little high, not baked. Giggly is the goal.

Man, I just received a sample of a concentrate vape, similar to this

Your can pack some sugar in this before you go, and dab half a gram on the sly. Very slick

Yeah, I just want to feel a little relaxed, chill. I am not looking to be stoned. I like the level of high where it enhances my enjoymeny of a movie, not has me spacing out. I want to be able to vape and then go power wash the house without forgetting what I am doing half way through or take the dog to the park without bumbling around like I'm the Dude.

So your dog objects to being power washed?
