Wow, I dunno where to start. I read this entire thread. Some great insights
and information here, thank you to all who contributed. RIU is awesome.
I wish i'd found this board about 5 years ago. And those pix, whew...unreal.
Make Hightimes foldouts look like rank amateurs.
I began smoking cannabis again after a 27 year layoff. First stuff we got back in 2017 was
meh, okay, i guess. I hadn't had a toke for 27 years, so i should've gotten
much higher. And I'm once-a-day toker, every day since then. And, will not
grow, due to illegality, and like some of you, am scared to death of going
to prison for manufacture and distribution of a schedule one narcotic, to wit
marijuana (sic). Been there, done that.
So, as for dispos, their product sux.
Gags you out, which would be barely tolerable if there was a high as strong
as the cough is, but there isn't. I have not been nearly as high on any of the
product I've purchased at the dispo (avg. price about $30.00/eighth) as I was
on the last of the quarter pound I got busted for sales of a quarter oz back in the '90s.
That was called colombo green and I think I paid about $300.00 for it back then.
Very smooth taste, not the least harsh, and great, mellow, long lasting high.
The dispo smoke for the past five years has offered me nothing even close to that in
either taste or high. Here's a pic of an 8th that I paid about $35.00 for a few months back
called "Dream Beaver":
My apologies for the pic quality. I used a 10 years old, Canon with I think 12MP resolution. So, it's what it's.
I go through the topics here at RIU (I joined oct. 30, this year)
and just drool over those pix and descriptions, and I'm sure some, hell, a lot of the
members here grow some fabulous, tasty, nice high smoke. I will never get to try
any of it
until the USA legalizes is (which will be never, because the cops and the
prison-industrial complex would lose Billions). DEA would go broke if they couldn't
run around chasing pot dealers. Grrr. Like meth and fentanyl isn't enough, they gotta
toss harmless pot smokers in prison.
Anyway, I've been trying to figure a way to consume without smelling up the 'hood and
being stigmatized for smoking it. Preferred way would be tinctures. I have bought five
different tincs from the dispo and all they do is leave a bad taste under my tongue. No high, tho.
But we keep trying.
The good members of this fabulous board has provided me with some answers on how to
make my own tinc. I will give it another try in a month or so, after my U/A. However, because
of the intolerance of my 'hood and neighborhood, will be intolerant of any odor when I decarb
and make my extract for my tincture. So far my efforts have produced no high.
I am amazed at some of the prices I've seen in this thread, $500 an eighth? Did i see that? From a
dispo? Really? Wow. I'd just have to quit, especially if it's no-high, choke 'n gag, like I've been
toking and choking on for the past 5 years. Now don't get me wrong, I get a buzz, usually. But not
a very good one. Maybe it's my tolerance, I dunno.
I will report back on my next smoke session though, because I go on a tolerance break two months,
every year, to take my annual U/A, because I wouldn't want the DEA to find any THC in my urine,
God forbid! The lousy sons of bitches.
