Picked up a syringe of RSO (full spectrum extract) last month...Holy money. A small grain of rice size dollop on a goldfish cracker, and bah-bye. The high lasts 4-6 hours and man, it's potent.

When the wife had covid last month, it was the only thing that helped with her full body pain.

Just saw this, thank you. I think I am going to try this route on the next visit. Really been thinking more about this vaping crap and thinking about just switching to edibles, but didn't know much about the tinctures/RSO.

Since I don't live in a legal state I've been vaping b/c I need something to supplement the gummies. Or do 2hour rounds trips every 10days or so.

West Coast says hi!

I wish. I hope you guys know how good you have it in some states.

Just got back from our MI vacation, and those dispensaries are light years better than where I go in Illinois and about 1/3 the price. It was like I thought it would be everywhere - wait in the lobby, meet up with my bud guy, answered all the questions and b.s., and helped with the order. Product on display, etc... Just a nice experience.

At least you're in the US

What's the Deal With Those ‘Dispenseroo’ Weed Adverts Across London?

An illegal weed business in the UK which stuck hundreds of unauthorised adverts on London’s Tube trains tells VICE World News it is now selling £50,000 worth of cannabis products a week.

Fantastic story about a pirate weed service in London, who kickstarted their business with guerrilla marketing posters all over the Tube.

Not quite the Wild West here in Michigan but I’ve been to a couple suburban smoke and vape shops to get a new battery or something weed adjacent and then they pull out weed and vape carts from some hidden compartment and start trying to sell it. I’ve never bought it just becomes it seems shady. Why do that when I can just buy it legally. Sure it’s bit more expensive but the piece of mind is worth it.

Why would this even need to be a thing as cheap as it was when I was in MI?

Are these places that lost their license, can't get one, trying to circumvent a city law, ?

I agree but cheaper is cheaper, people always want to save a buck. They are smoke/vape shops or party stores. They are just circumventing the law, trying to make some under the table money.

A lot of the black market stuff is cheaper not only because of taxes but because it's bootleg. Crazy how many fake packs of Cookies and Runtz you'll see around. Flower is flower but it's generally lower grade and who knows what's in those vape carts.

Yeah I would never buy that. Spent years enough getting black market stuff when it was illegal in Michigan. My dream was legal weed. Now that it's here, I am not going back to the black.

Man, edibles cost relative to flower is kinda nuts, feel like cost of edibles keeps going up. would prefer edibles rather than inhaling smoke but so much more expensive. what's the most economical way to approach edibles/ candy/ chocolate?

Look into buying flower and making your own edibles. It can be as easy as grinding up the bud, decarbing(heating the weed) melting chocolate and mixing it together.
Better recipes are available but this easy and effective.

Super easy to make butter or coconut oil too. From there, you can make anything. Super cost effective, best bang for your buck.

It was always $40 1/8 for kindest of kind in Oregon. My guy would give me breaks if I bought in bulk - an Oz for $300 (shaving the cost $20, what a guy!).

Once Oregon legalized weed, the supply of flower overwhelmed the market. Couple years ago, ounces of great flower were going for $100ish. Wish I had loaded up, though I have a buddy who was growing his own and used to gift me giant sacks if I paid his fantasy baseball dues and a round of beers after he smoked me in disc golf. I should call that guy.....

Related: Always wondered how 'my guy' bought his first house in cash. With the true margins of flower exposed, I wondered no more.

An 1/8th from a legal rec place will run from around 32-60 depending on the quality. That’s before taxes. The black market sellers aren’t charging taxes obviously so that’s where the discount comes from.

I have become accustomed to Denver pricing. I go to Native Roots near my home, here, every Sunday. They run a bogo deal in which I can get 20 1-gr pre-rolls for $66 and change. A couple weeks ago I bought my daughter an ounce of flower (she's 20) and it ran me a little more than $100.

Enjoying a beer/edible buzz. 10mg indica gummy and local IPA on tap.

Happy Saturday

 

[hagmania]

Gummies changed the game for me in regards to un-sobriety. Mixed them with watching pro wrestling for the first time this summer and I've found an incredible way to enjoy my favorite entertainment all over again.

Edit: To wit, watching the Japanese pros knock the everloving **** out of each other while high is amazing.

 

[Soootch]

In GA the CBD shops are selling D8, D9, and HHC gummies. The chick at one store told me it’s good to take something different each time you partake so I’ve been trying all 3.

My go-to gummy has been a 5THC/25CBD that I’ll stack over an afternoon, maybe 3 or 4 by 9PM and I’d sleep through the apocalypse. Big fan. It’s the usual stoned feeling we all know, sometimes a little paranoia or uneasiness but it goes away in an hour and then I’m just relaxed.

Delta 8 is awesome. Very relaxed feeling, sort of stoned-adjacent in that I’m talking a lot but it’s not all nonsense. Zero paranoia. I took one tonight, I think it was 25mg or something. The girl gave me a free sample.

HHC is my favorite. Similar to delta 8 in terms of relaxation and lack of paranoia, but more euphoric and I’ll laugh hysterically. Nathan Fielder had me convulsing with laughter to the point that I almost passed out. It’s really crazy how they can rearrange molecules to create these new cannabinoids. I only heard of this **** like a week ago. Golden age for pot imo.

 

[Major]

Curious if you Delta 8 advocates are routine users of THC? The times I've tried Delta 8 I felt it was a waste of money and something I'd only do if I was out of the real stuff. The D8 edibles are a little better but not something I'd pay for.

Yup.

D8 flower was a total waste to me (like drinking a 2% abv beer). The edibles hit me similar to D9 though.

There is an Indian Reservation in southwest New York that sells weed everywhere. Just driving along a 2 lane road and signs everywhere. Gas station, bait shop, etc. Was quite surreal.

Have been introduced to sugar wax, very similar to shatter. Not dabbing, just a bit to top off a bowl. Very nice little 'every once in a while' special event treat.

Like, as an example, US playing England the day after Thanksgiving.

Anyone with experience here with back pain. Its been a long struggle with periodic sciatica…but lately its a more constant pain in my lower back. Doc visit and radiology results show a few issues ( lumbar spondylosis and disc disease. sacroiliitis). Managing with muscle relaxers, stretching and so on and possibly PT.

I don’t want to just rely on muscle relaxers…plus i may have to call my doc and switch as if I take the ones i have (tizandinine hcl) within an hour it becomes hard to stay awake. And Im thinking ahead to a few car rides where id like to be able to manage pain but be able to drive and stay alert.

Any Delta 8 recommendations (as i can actually buy that here in TN)? And then Idon’t mine multiple recs as far as any that would not necessarily put me to sleep and some that would help with sleep at night

I should’ve posted that I’m not using these for pain. But they are great and very consistent compared to other gummies I’ve tried

 

[Monty Burns]

I just tried edible gummies about a month ago for minor back pain but mostly for help sleeping. Its working great so far and I use it sparingly. Once in a rare while for the back and 4-5 times per week for sleeping. I usually just do about 1/3rd of the gummy and that knocks any minor pain down and when I take it 1-2 hours before bed it really helps my sleeping.

I just saw a study (only really read the headline) that said MJ's pain relief effects are basically placebo. Lemme see if I can find it.

Pain relief from marijuana comes from a belief it helps, study finds | CNN

Some people suffering pain from cancer and other chronic diseases turn to marijuana to ease their suffering, but much of that relief may come from simply believing weed will help, a new study found.

I’m not an expert on cannabis at all—but I recently tried a couple products that have helped me tremendously. I’m a taller guy that has battled back issues since I was a teenager. My posture has always been bad, I’ve hurt my back several times playing basketball, and in honesty—I never spent enough time working on my flexibility and strengthening my back. I’ve also battled insomnia over the past ten years.

When my insomnia is really bad, I’ll generally take either half or a full 10mg gummy from a company called wyld. They have three different types—indica, sativa, and a hybrid strain. For me-the indica strain tends to put me in a more relaxed, sedated mood.

In regard to the back pain—the product that has helped me tremendously is something called Muscle Freeze by a company called Mary’s nutritionals. It’s a cbd cream—similar to Icy hot—-but way stronger and way more effective imo. It has no THC—so you won’t get high—and you just apply it on the area where you are feeling pain and rub it in. Wait a few minutes—and you’ll start to feel it get warm, and then cool. The area will relax and within 15-20 minutes the pain will be gone or severely diminished. I even get it for my elderly mother who has pain throughout her body. It does have a menthol feeling/smell to it—so make sure you wash your hands after you use it. If you rub your eyes before cleaning it off your hands—it’s not fun. Lol.

I'm applying for my medical card in Mississippi this week. Supposedly, MS is going to be pretty strict on what they allow. I do have a long medical history of having fairly chronic migraines that make me nauseous that I've just been dealing with. That and a car accident from a few years ago that has left a little nagging back pain that flares up from time to time. At the very least I'll add it to the list.

Any other tips I should know? I applied thru the Green Health people. They looks like a national outfit that does a lot of this. Every other clinic or doctor around here that says they are taking cannabis patients looks like a pretty low rent, fly by night type of operation.

I don't know Mississippi's law, but in Massachusetts and now in Colorado, I have gotten my medical card because I get cluster headaches and the only medication I have found that is effective at all is Imitrex. Taken orally, it takes a fairly large dose of Imitrex (like 500mg) to kill the headache. The injection works better and faster, but insurance will only buy two pens per month, which is totally insufficient if one suffers from cluster headaches. I also take Cymbalta, a SSNRI. The combination of large doses of Imitrex and Cymbalta is not good.... puts me at risk for serotonin syndrome, which is bad news. By using MMJ, I can drastically reduce the dosage of Imitrex I take, thus reducing my risk for serotonin syndrome. At least that's the story I gave the MMJ docs in Massachusetts and Colorado.

I clicked on your link, and looked for the phrase 'chronic pain'. It was there, which means that MS will not be strict at all. You should be fine to get your card. Every state knows that once you put chronic pain in the approved list, anyone who wants a card gets one. Don't worry about getting your card.

in terms of helping your ailments, it is important to remember that every state has different markets, different growers, separate everything. No one has done any research on what affects Mississippi-grown pot has on migraines. All the cannabis you try will have been grown in-state, so be wary of anyone recommending certain strains from other states. Even if the same strain is available, it can be very different depending on a bunch of different factors.

Get tiny amounts of different things, and try them out.

I'm not too familar with medical marijuana vs delta-9, but I'm wondering if you can get the same benefits from delta-9. Not sure where you are located, but I'm in Madison county and it's a 10-minute run to Gluckstadt to restock on delta-9. I can't speak to any sort of chronic pain issues, but they pair nicely with expensive beer.

Specifically I go to Magnolia Hemp located near the intersection of Highway 51 and Yandell. A 30-pack runs about $85.

Picture of perhaps the greatest strip mall in the whole USA - Donut Palace, Guns and Gear, Little Willie's Barbecue, Magnolia Hemp, Barley's Beer Barn, a liquor store, a local bulk beef retailer.

Picture of perhaps the greatest strip mall in the whole USA - Donut Palace, Guns and Gear, Little Willie's Barbecue, Magnolia Hemp, Barley's Beer Barn, a liquor store, a local bulk beef retailer.

Delta 9 is not something I would recommend. It doesn't go through any type of regulated system with testing and it's synthetically derived. I know people are getting "high" from it.

But the medical benefits from cannabis are about the specific chemical compounds from the plant (THC, CBD, CBG, CBN, etc.) and all of the other terpenes and flavonoids.

My 2 cents.

I tried to go from smoking to edibles but just dont like the delay and find the buzz is just not the same. Tried to convert as dont want to smoke so much -

Did a lot of research and still havent seen much conclusive stuff re smoking weed and lung issues - I read that dry vaping is "healthiest" - Im using the Mighty dry vape which doesnt combust. I dont do a ton - 3 days week. Anyone know more about this?

Solventless Rosin or Live Resin in a cart vaped at a low temperature is reportedly the best way to go.

Tip of the day, dont try and vape a week after recovering from COVID. I never coughed so much in my life. Took one hit and couldnt stop coughing for hours. My lungs are still clearly not 100%. Honestly I want to quit vaping. Thinking about just going the gummies route. The last gummies I tried were pretty good. Had to eat two though (10 mg total) due to my tolerance level. They only took about an hour to kick in. They were called Nano Bites.

OK, unknown to my ***, there are stores 15mins away that sell this Delta-8 stuff.

I see some of you @jwb , @Soootch have tried this and seem to be advocating for the edibles, so I will probably start there. Questions:

1. Is the dose the same? The store I looked at had gummies, but they seem to be all in 25mg gummies. Usually I am at 10-15mg for a gummy.
2. Do you have any brands that you use, or anything specific I should look for?
3. Have any of you tried the Delta-8 vape? Seems jwb said the flower was weak and worthless, but was curious about the vape for supplementing as I usually do.
4. I see there is also a Hemp-derived Delta-9 gummy as well. I have 0 clue how this is, but maybe it's the ratio, as it's 5:1 CBD:THC it looks like. Those are 10mg gummies, so I am wonder WTF is the difference between these.

You know what is really cheap right now and inflation proof? Flower. Getting legitimately good bud for $20 an 1/8 these days in California. Outdoor weed especially is cheap.

I no longer partake. Its been a lot of years.

I forget that a lot of you can't just pop down to the dispensary. Here in OR you can't throw a rock without hitting one.

I honestly don't know on dosage, as I was never huge into regular edibles. I take 2 and half 25 mg D8 and that works well. I'm almost surprised it's legal in a weed-illegal state.

Seems like "brands" are all over the place. The ones I buy come in a gold pouch. I don't remember the name (I'll edit this post later when i look at the package). Never tried vape or delta 9 gummies.

ETA: they are called "Synergy". But there's little in company info so I'm sure it's a more localized thing.

There is a glut in Michigan and stuff is super cheap. If it's under 22% THC you can get ounces of buds for $40-$60, 1g vape carts $10-$15 and gummies for $4/bag. Good times

Happy to report this was a pretty easy process. Its so new here everyone was kind of clueless, but they walked me thru everything. I had to go online to the state health dept., fill out a profile and application. Then the Dr. saw me and that was a quick 15 minute chat about me in general. It was almost like an interview, but completely stress free. Then they got online and uploaded their recommendation to the state dept. profile I started and the receptionist made sure it was all accurate before I submitted it.

I wasn't sure what to expect. I get the sense they are at least trying to put off the vibes that this is not a rubber stamped type process, but it certainly seemed like it.

Dose is not the same - it is essentially "pot-lite" so you'll generally need more to get to the same place. That said, in my experience D-8 doesn't ever really get me to the same place as the real stuff but it does help with sleep and relaxing/chilling. I would advise caution buying from the corner liquor store. In Milwaukee, Delta 8 products are sold at liquor stores, gas stations and street fairs, but there are also more reputable brick/mortar stores. Be careful as it is a completely unregulated industry and many sellers are just mixing the stuff in their basements, in some cases supposedly using harmful chemicals. Ask them about third-party testing and look at the info they provide to make sure they are really submitting their products for testing. I typically use it in a tincture form. I just put in an order at www.highlyconcentr8ed.com

based on some online research and recommendations. Some tincture and a few edibles. Would be interested to hear about your experience.

When I am in the states the local dispensary has a special on the Wyld brand ( wyld Wednesdays, but two get one free.) 10*10mg for twenty bucks. Half a gummy usually good for the night. YMMV
