You didn't make up the name, so I'm not really raging at you personally. But one of the worst things about legalization was when people started calling pot "flower"

I've been on this planet a long time. Weed's had dozens of names in that time.

"Flower" has to be the absolute gayest one of them all
I always just assumed that it was the way people differentiated between the actual plant you smoke from vapes, edibles, etc.

I call weed weed.

so if I just use flower, I should be good?

Personally I like smoking more, I find it easier to settle into. The vape carts, even the Live Rosin carts with no fake chems make it hard to portion out and just hit different.

Try and find a sale where you can buy an assorted variety of pre rolled joints. After smoking them, determine which one gave the best effect for you and try and stick with that one for a bit.

Everyone's nervous system reacts to things differently. I would check this BASIC chart of terpene types. This is not gospel just a starting off point. As new terpenes are being discovered and the corrosponding genes isolated all the time, more and more options will be available to you.

So living in Indiana I have always used sketchy means to get my weed. Drove up to MI today and it was like a Willy Wonka experience for me. Lol

Same but in MA. Hasn't used THC since highschool and I don't drink, so decided to hit the dispensary. Literally a 2 minute walk from my house... And it was the nicest atmosphere with the friendliest people lol. We had some national fame because this dispensary both 1) randomly put on a concert with method man and cypress hill in my small town and 2) put up a borat billboard and got sued by borat.

The worker must've been high but he also tried to sell me on his Goonies 2 script.

I've tried smoking weed(years ago, college, likely dubious quality), 20mg edibles more recently, and 6 hits off my wife's vape. She uses it medicinally and recreationally, so I at least trust she's getting efficacious stuff.

I can't feel a fucking difference every time I try it. If I really wanted to verify that I have the world's most useless super power, what form of THC and amount should I try?

Edibles are fake news, I wouldnt waste your time.

No idea about vape bullshit.

But as far as smoking actual plain old weed. Most users I've talked to have a similar experience as me. The first couple times, it had no noticable effect. I don't pretend to know the mechanism. Its a statement about how subtle the effects are, though. Its like your brain has to learn to recognize them.

Just try it a couple more times, it'll kick in. After those first couple times there will be no more question of "am I feeling it yet?"

When I first started I remember the first 2 or 3 times absolutely nothing happened, then on the time after that I immediately got insanely high.

20mg of edibles would knock me out completely so I'd be careful going that high. My standard is 5mg and I get decently high, depending on when I last ate and I am a bigger guy. 4x that id imagine id be so stoned for over 24 hours.

Weird, seems like I would have heard about breaking this marijuana hymen from discussions with potheads irl. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions, seems easy enough to try.

At least with edibles it can depend heavily on metabolism. I can easily get really fucked up if I haven't eaten much

You might be like me and have a gene which prevents your liver from producing the proper enzyme, which, allows the THC to enter the bloodstream. I have to eat over 100MG to feel edibles. But Smoking and using Live Rosin vapes works instantly.

Eating 100mg seems wild

I kind of want to start vaping just to control it more

If you want to try vaping I would AVOID the "Ethanol Extraction / Distillate Carts" ask and see if they have any "Live Rosin" carts instead. The Lab boys at my job call distillate carts "hotdog water" because they aren't pure in any sense. Often non cannabis derived terpenes are added after for flavor because the ethanol extraction destroys the natural terpenes and creates a much harsher vapor.

Live Rosin carts on the other hand are extracted directly from plant material, keeping all the natural flavors with no solvents used. These are a bit more money but the user experience is far superior. These sell so well that we can barely keep up with demand and for good reason too.

If you want more info I would check out Pure Pressure's website. Good company, I really like their equipment and dedication to making a better product overall.

I know a lot of people don't necessarily like smoking, but smoking flower is by far my preferred method. Edibles don't do much for me and although I do buy a vape pen from time to time, it's definitely a different high for me. I smoke 2 bowls pretty much every night. However, I do smoke more high end and infused weed as I have a pretty good tolerance. When I wanna go harder I just buy some hash to sprinkle on top.

Edit: As a more advanced way of looking at it. You can also kind of pinpoint the terpenes in the weed that you like. I prefer limonene heavy flower for instance.

Tip of the day: Always check how many gummies come in that 200 mg bag.

Trying out some propagation cuts in rock wool cubes. Personally I don't like this media for cloning, it stays wet far too long for my liking.

I find these Ihort plugs to be easier to work with.
