    one thing you should care about is THC %, there’s a big difference between say 5% and 20%

    5% THC weed will give you a nice relaxing high, the same amount of 20% THC weed will send you so far into space you can basically call it a psychodelic experience

      You just don’t need to use as much with the higher % kinds. If the price is the same, it’s a better value because it can last longer.

      FYI smoking is wasteful. Blunts are the most wasteful way to waste your money on that. Vaping with convection and/or conduction heat source is the absolute best way to use those flowers.

        seeing as weed is still illegal where i currently live i’d rather trust an unaltered flower than a murky liquid of vague origin

          Herbal vapes have existed for long before e-liquids became a thing.

          As a bonus you end up with AVB (already vaped bud) which is great for edibles as you can skip the decarb process.

            Heh, when you mentioned AVB I fully expected you to finish with “which is great for selling to suckers,” so I found the actual ending to be a wholesome surprise!

          There’s just medical where I live, and every single product has the lab results of what’s in the batch printed right on the box.

          The advantages of legalization and regulation.

            dude tell that to my country’s goverment. So far all anxiety meds i’ve tried made me feel worse, and i’ve just been smoking sometimes when it gets too bad. Weed is the only things that’s worked for me so far. Obviously i haven’t tried all the anxiety meds out there but fucking hell, the last ones i have a shot made me feel like i was mid-panic attack the entire day, i’d rather not have to potentially experience that again

              Ahh, I’m sorry you have to deal with that!

              It took me years to find a combination of medications that seemed to help. It’s nice being able to feel kind of normal sometimes.

              But the cannabis is like liquid calm and happiness waiting in a glass case for emergencies (or live resin waiting in a vape cart). It has worked on some seriously bad days. But its also nice to use in small amounts just about every day.

      Seriously have my doubts about the accuracy of said percentage. I’ve had 10-15% knock me on my ass compared to 20-23%

      Does smoking more of the 5% stuff get you to the same place as the 20%?
