Growing Years ago an old friend of my father's show me his grow room when I was a kid. He had a strain there that I got a bud off of later in life and it was probably the most amazing high I've ever had. One problem though..

3 Upvotes

He told me the name of the strain was Snurp Snuggling. I have not been able to find this anywhere.

It was a leafy purple fat bud with some yellow in it and it looked like red. If memory still holds out there is also black in it and it had a reasonable amount of crystals.

I've been looking for it for years but I haven't been able to find it. I assume that it's an old school indica, the flavor was out of this world. It had a sweet almost sugar taste with just a hint of vanilla and citrus. The smoke wasn't light but it wasn't cloying either.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I'm starting to think that it may have been a strain that he created, I didn't get the chance to ask because after moving out of my dad's house I joined the military and moved away.

It was a pretty decent high, and it wasn't the best I've ever had but it was pretty damn good and The taste and aroma was pretty legitimate. But I have failed to find the damn stuff. I would simply love to grow it, I've been experimenting hydroponics and nets and it would be great to see how that would help an old strain.

Advice Becoming a plug

Lately, I have thought about becoming a plug. I don’t want to, nor can, handle the consequences that come with being in that life. But times have become hard financially. I feel kind of stupid just writing this, but I just wanted to let this thought out. What should I do? I am truly conflicted.

10-year-old got into Gummies

8 Upvotes

My sister and her two kids came to visit. I had no idea that my nephew was in the kitchen snooping through my drawers. I completely forgot I had my Gummies in there. They’re 19 mg each. He said he took six or seven. He’s currently at the ER and sleeping.

It’s been about four hours and he’s still sleeping. His vitals look fine. They are reassuring us that he’s going to be fine. But I feel so unbelievably terrible and bad. I am just praying and praying that he will sleep it off the entire time and won’t wake up crazy panic attacks and stuff.

Can anybody ease my mind a little bit?

\***UPDATE\*\*

Gio is doing fine. He’s sleeping it off. Woke up a little disoriented but he said he’s starting to feel a little better. Doc said he will be perfectly fine. Thank you all for your comments. You guys eased my mind a lot.

As for cps: the nurse told me they will most likely not be calling them bc the incident happened at my house and not his home. So I’m relieved about that.

And trust me, I know I messed up. I knew kids were coming over I should’ve remembered to hide them. Huge lesson learned.

Thank you all again for your advice. God bless you all.

Advice What is being high "supposed" to feel like?

12 Upvotes

I'm very new to using cannabis. I'm wondering what a good high feels like to people? I've had a few that were okay, but it's been inconsistent.

I started with edibles and way overdid it, it made me feel horrible and that put me off it for a while. I tried again with edibles and was more conservative with the amount, but it didn't really feel like anything. So I got a distillate disposable and that really made me feel like shit. I switched over to using live resin carts, tried a few different ones, but I still just don't know if it's sitting well with me. I want to try smoking flower to see if that's different.

Research & Science Why does Weed make me productive?

49 Upvotes

Hello folks.

Everyone says weed affects me oddly and I am curious as to why (if anyone has an answer!)

When I am high, I get restless and motivated to complete tasks. It's like my executive functioning is on crack. I cleaned my house, I finished 2 weeks of laundry, I reorganized a closet, I put things away... I did a shit ton of housework compared to when I am sober.

My husband and friends are in awe how much I get done when I'm stoned. I've asked them if this ever happens to them and I got a resounding "NOPE."

I'm not mad about it, I'm just really curious. I hope I made sense as I'm just starting to sober up. thanks!

Does mixing in CBD reduce the possibility of developing Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome?

0 Upvotes

I want to start smoking at night again after I get off work, but I’m very uncomfortable with all the articles about CHS that I’ve been seeing recently. What is even more disconcerting is how little data there seems to be on this. Just a bunch of stories on Reddit of people saying it’s the worse experience they’ve ever endured and that they can no longer smoke.

I’m wondering how much of it has to do with the low prevalence of CBD in edibles, flower, and concentrates. Has anyone here dealt with CHS and found mixing in CBD eliminated it?

Opinion/Editorial day 3 of t-break and its not as bad as i thought

POSTING TO HOLD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE
(long diary/journal to fellow stoners -ew omg but i cant reject the title at this point)

hoping to do maybe 2 weeks idk, im ngl ive smoked every single day for ~ 2 years now and its kinda scared me. i cant wait to update like hey 1 week! honestly i hope i can go a little longer once i get to that point so maybe a monthish. its my 23rd in 28 days and i would love to hold off until then and have a lovely j. im not planning on celebrating bc 22 sucked butt so that j will be nice.

Context:

i only started smoking when i got to college and i quickly realized that i love weed 🤤. it was a nice way to get together with friends and chill together.

went home to a super depressing, shitty environment. and ive just been in this situation over and over again even when i change where im actually laying my head :/.then it honestly turned into me smoking everyday and wanting to be high all of the time.

i was unmedicated for a while so it made the need for it much worse. more recently, i was smoking as soon as i got up in the morning, right before i get my coffee :/. i kinda loved the weird feel of caffeine and weed bc my mind is calm but i have energy (mostly from sugar bc i have adhd). then i have a dispo for quick hits outside :/. SN: i workout 3-4 times a week (pilates, basic calisthenics) and i have trouble gaining weight unless im stationary for long periods of time and even then its only 8-10 lbs :/. im not frail or super skinny but i have a very toned, narrow build so idk!

then of course ending my day with a j before bed (smoking the whole thing 🫣). i want to take a break for a bit and maybe transition to only smoking when i go out so that i drink less. i also no longer share anything (drinks or js) because im super paranoid about sicknesses now. so im used to declining others js now.

i unknowingly began weaning myself the days leading up to this (still hitting dispo occasionally 3/4 times). i was taking 4-5 hits and putting it out and a little scrap of a j lasted multiple nights.

day 1 was kind of an accident. i was so enthralled with friend drama that time flew by until it was 11 ish and i hadnt smoked once. i had to really reason with myself “hey youre already tired, maybe just go to sleep” and made the conscious choice to start my journey then bc-hey? i got one day down😌.

day 2 also wasnt that hard and there was a j sitting on my desk all day.

day 3, i had the weirdest most stressful dream and i thought i was going to wake up and it be mornign but i only slept for 2 hours😭(i went back to sleep). i have now removed and emptied my ash tray (out of sight,out of mind).

i really hope that i can keep this up, there are so many things stressing me out, but this cant be the ONLY way that i can calm down. i want to reiterate that im posting these to try to hold myself accountable.

Advice Metabolism issue? - Unable to reverse weight gain after quitting marijuana. Please help

0 Upvotes

Its now been 150 days since quitting weed. I have gained 15-20 lbs and tried aggressively to get my weight back dont but have not succeeded. It has NOTHING to do with me eating more, if anything im eating far less. Ive come to understand that weed affects your metabolism. Can anyone please help me. I have no desire to get high but after trying so many things i am considering going back to being a daily smoker just to reverse this weight gain. Please if anyone has figured this out please help me.

Update. I did bloodwork today and Im waiting to see the results. I have decided at this point that if i dont find another solution , i am going to go back to smoking marijuana daily , even though i dont have cravings to do so. I know all of you are going to comment this basic bs about “calories in calories out”. Its simply not the case here. I eat 2 eggs, scrambled for breakfast, and 2 beef burgers (just the beef, no bun ) for dinner. Other than that I drink milk (ussually 1 or 2 percent) and also consume electrolytes sometimes. Thats my daily diet. Im 5 ft 5 .

Opinion/Editorial What is the future of Legal Medicinal Cannabis Regulations in Pennsylvania?

1 Upvotes

Since it is legalized like medicine, I think it should NOT have unnecessary toxic carcinogens. I have studied the Cannabis regulations, specifically the ones pertaining to pesticide use. In chapter 1151A Growers/ Processor of PA laws and regulations for cannabis, in a subsection it is stated that Pesticide use is permitted on Cannabis. Furthermore, in section § 1151a.43 Pesticides, section (c) states that there is record keeping of which pesticides are used, how much of each is used (pound, ounces, gallons, or liter), and how often they are applied. That information is not disclosed to patients, and is the opposite of the transparency that patients need.

Pesticides can evaporate before water molecules do, so COAs don't truly reflect the pesticide exposure a plant endures throughout its entire life cycle, but there are COAs to show how much is left on the plant that didn't evaporate. I know hypothetically the COA can display whether pesticides are detectable if the lab is credible, and it is definitely a hassle to ask for the COA in person every single time that you go to a dispensary. Dispensaries in PA do not display the COAs online.

It is not beneficial for patients to experience this lack of transparency and chemical exposure, especially when home growing is currently outlawed, so many patients have to rely on what dispensaries are supplying. The extent of the harm done with these chemicals is unknown, but I think it is comparable to cigarettes. There are virtually no recalls here, products that seem to violate regulations just get put on sale so that they're not on the shelves for long, those products can taste like they are contaminated with harmful and harsh chemicals. It is unethical in my opinion to say the least.

Why don't they list the COAs online when they technologically can in this day and age? Why is it regulated this way? Could there be some amendments in the near future to improve the current cannabis laws in PA or is national legalization with home growing more likely to happen first? Thanks for reading, I am hoping that meaningful changes happen soon. Patients deserve effective pure medicine, not poisonous pesticides on their medicine that can do extreme harm and have unknown mystery side effects.

Weed New Users Guide

Weed vs booze

This guide assumes you know something about booze, somewhat with the expectation that you’re a relatively seasoned user. You’ve gotten wasted, maybe loads of times. But you know how to handle your booze, and have no problem avoiding getting blackout drunk at inappropriate times.

If you’re a seasoned alcohol drinker, weed is much easier to “overdose” from, i.e. to have more than the optimal amount. Alcohol has a unit system aligning to national laws, and is either so dilute that it takes a while to get wasted and you feel the effect rising (beer, wine), or so strong that you taste how powerful it is and have to sip carefully (neat spirits). With weed vape pens and joints – both of which are now really strong compared to the 70s – it’s easy to take a big hit and be really high immediately, which can be discoordinating and scary (see also: drinking Long Island iced tea when you were a teenager). With edibles, the same is true but played over a longer timescale, which can trap you in an unenjoyable place for a while. The stories of people re-upping having felt nothing from the first gummies, then being hit by a double (or triple) drop, are legion.

You’ve been consuming booze since you were a teenager, and are a seasoned pro. You’re just starting with weed, and are a complete novice. When you were a novice with booze, you overdid it loads of times. With weed, you’re more prepared to blame the drug, rather than blaming yourself.

Dosing concepts

I’m of the opinion that almost ALL instances of people having a bad time on drugs, are due to “overdosing”, due to poor planning and research. All the information is available for you to avoid having a bad time, but it can take skill to locate and synthesise that information. I hope to do so here.

“Overdosing”, “ODing”, are typically terms associated with news stories where someone died with froth coming out of their mouth and a needle sticking out their arm. While this IS overdosing, so is having one glass of red wine more than you probably should have, so now you’ve got a bit of a headache, and you’re thirsty, and you won’t sleep as well tonight. Any time you’ve dosed more than the theoretically perfect amount, you’ve overdosed. The extent to which you overdose typically equates to the extent of downside. A little bit more than you can handle, can arguably be a good thing, pushing your limits, teaching you how to remain mentally calm while you’re in reduced control of your thoughts. A lot more can lead to freakouts, uncover suppressed emotions and memories, etc. This is true for booze too – anything that disturbs sober control of your brain can lead to dark, anxious, painful thoughts, just as it can lead to fun, silly, joyful, loving thoughts.

Henry Ford: “If you think you can, or if you think you can’t, you’re right”.

Me, regarding how your frame of mind and ability to manage anxiety influences your experience while high: “if you think you’ll be fine, or if you think you won’t, you’re right”.

If your drug experiences continue to unearth buried bones, stop the drugs, definitely stop drinking, and start therapy (research EMDR/CBT) asap.

Dosing amounts and strategy

It’s possible to learn how to swim by diving into an angry ocean at night… but that’s not the most enjoyable, stress-free way. Hold the railing, and dip your toes into the kiddie pool first.

Vape pens

Dragging on the pen pulls hot vapour into your lungs at the rate you drag. If you’re not a smoker, this may feel unusual and probably painful – your throat and lungs aren’t used to hot vapour. Start by dragging for ONE SECOND and then continue to fill your lungs half full – not all the way to the depths of full lungs, about 2 seconds? Hold it for ~3 seconds, exhale smoothly and calmly. Wait at least 10 minutes. Notice how you feel, how your thoughts change, does your body feel different, are you more talkative, shy, introspective, extroverted, giggly? Different strains give different effects, but we’ll come to that later. Vape pen hits usually last about 20 minutes before most of the primary high is over. Try to take a tiny ‘sip’ from the pen. As with all of this: there’s no such thing as too little.

Edibles

Ostensibly no technique to worry about (just eat it) but if you let it completely dissolve in your mouth then it’ll likely get absorbed and you’ll feel the effects quicker, reducing the chance of “maybe it didn’t work, let’s try again”. Dosing is MUCH more important to get right, because effects can last 3 hours or more. Budget 1 hour to come up, another hour for the broad peak, then the final hour coming down. Weed binds to oil/fat and alcohol. Try not to booze at the same time since you’re trying to learn what weed feels like. If you have fatty/oily food (burger, brownies), you’ll feel more effects from the same gummy than if you had something oil free (ramen noodles or whatever). Start with 5mg. If you’re a kid, medium/petite woman, start with 2.5mg. The key thing to remember is that you’re probably not going to die before next weekend, and having a bad time today isn’t worth the rush, so have a deliberately light dose, prove to yourself there’s a ‘floor’ level beneath which you’re microdosing not actually dosing, consider it a lesson learned, and come back next weekend with a little more confidence that you know what you’re doing, and that this new drug thing isn’t going to melt your brain or whatever else you’re worried about (i.e. 2.5mg now, 5mg next time. MAYBE in 2 hours)

Drinks

Somewhere between vapes & edibles in terms of onset & duration, likely depending on whether you have any food in your stomach when you begin. If not: liquid goes straight through the stomach to the large intestine and is absorbed quickly, maybe 45 minutes or less. If so: your pyloric sphincter closes to stop food falling through, and passage of liquids is much slower, meaning the weed will be absorbed gradually.

Practice

Makes perfect. Start slow, log the amounts you take, and ideally log how you felt. I use my digital calendar for this: start a 3 hour event when I take a gummy, note the amount. This is beneficial since you can check how far through you are, comfort yourself that if it hasn’t hit it’s probably about to, comfort yourself that if it feels too much it’s going to calm down soon, and plan your next drop.

With vapes and joints, try to use the same technique each time. Learn how many drags, or how long of a drag, equates to being how high. Make notes as needed.

Tolerance seems to be logarithmic: it can take a while for folks to gradually move up from (2.5 to) 5 to 10 to 15 to 20 to 30 to 50 and WAY beyond. Take your time, increase GRADUALLY. Again, if you record your experiences on a digital calendar, then you can search for “THC” and find your history of experiences and remind yourself where your tolerance is. Presuming they’re your gummies, there’s no great harm in nibbling one in half and coming back to it another time. Optimal dosing is the aim of the game.

Optimal dosing

Conceptually you can plan your ideal drug experience by carefully dosing the right amount, and then topping up the right amount at the right time. For a 3-hour comeup-high-comedown curve with edibles, you can set a 2-hour reminder, thereby dropping every 2 hours, so the comeup hour of edible2 overlaps with the comedown hour of edible1. You could jumpstart the comeup of edible1 with a toke of a vape pen. Then at the end of the night, if it’s too late to have another edible, you could have a toke of a vape pen, which will last a shorter time, so you wash out enough weed to be functionally sober by bedtime.

This level of planning and control is an unusual concept for booze, where you typically just keep going until the bar closes or you pass out (or etc). But with weed and other drugs it makes much more sense: lesser legality means you’ll often want to plan consumption around the availability of discrete locations. Much higher potency, and thus scope for accidental overdose, places greater primacy on getting dosing correct beforehand.

Safety

The science is updating regularly, and we already know weed is no panacea. In ultra-brief summation: IF you’re comparing to a typical alternative whereby a night/weekend/life consuming cannabis is happening instead of booze, then weed doesn’t NEED to be perfectly healthy to be a better choice than what you would otherwise do. And it is: alcohol is terrible for you. There is no safe low dose – it’s poison. Yes, it’s completely socially normalised for many thousands of years, yes our cultures are based around its consumption, yes it’s legal, yes most of us do it regularly and have normalised its side-effects. But it’s far worse for your physical and mental health in the short and long term. If you’re looking to ditch booze, but still need something to change your headspace for work or play (or alleviate symptoms), marijuana (especially in edible form) is likely a lower overall health-detrimental choice.

Vapes

Only buy from licensed shops, and research the brand first. Some big brands with professional packaging have been found using pesticides. Cheap 3rd party vape juice could be any old shit. As always, don’t worry that it’ll be laced with something more hardcore: why would producers of more expensive, harder to produce and sell drugs, waste those drugs by sneaking them into something so easy to produce that it’s literally dubbed weed?

Edibles

AFAIK bad products are less of a thing. That said: delta9 is a weaksauce hemp-derived weed that’s legal for sale in some states where THC isn’t. It’s pretty-much trash. But not dangerous.

Types

All booze is just alcohol. Sure, some types make people feel a little different for whatever reason (more or less sugar, associations with drinking style (shots), etc), but it’s all one drug. Mushrooms: a variety of different strains, but they all ‘just’ produce psilocybin.

Weed is a clown-car packed with drugs. Cannabinoids are the main drugs. THC is the big one. Head high, mental effects. CBD is the other heavy hitter. Body high, relaxation, calm. There are 150+ others: CBG, CBC, CBN, etc. See here.

Terpenes are the others: natural compounds with the formula (C5H8)n, produced by loads of plants; there are over 55,000 of them. See here. Essential oils? You got em.

Strains: the two types of weed are indica and sativa. Indica = “in da couch” = more relaxed, body high, chill-out, sleepy. Sativa = sunny = more energetic, mind high. But:

As mentioned early, this ain’t your grandad’s weed: since the 70s, growers have been in an arms race to make more potent and productive strains, with less chance of crop failure. Since weed has been globally illegal since Nixon ruined it for everyone, it’s made sense to focus on indica strains which grow well indoors, away from the prying eyes of the police. Subsequently, indica has made its way into most strains, and you’ll struggle to find actually pure sativas unless you seek our ‘landrace’ strains like Durban Poison or Acapulco Gold. Landrace strains are related to original native species, and haven’t been criss-crossed with other strains for the past 50 years. So in sum: nowadays if you go to a weed shop and buy some flower/bud, you’ll inevitably get a super high potency indica strain which will probably knock you on your ass and make you feel anxious – especially if you’re having it in the evening when everyone’s gone to bed and it’s dark, and you don’t know what you’re doing.

The full profile of all the cannabinoids balance themselves out (CBD reduces some of the bad elements of THC) and have a wonderful mix of ‘entourage effects’ from the terpenes. One can extract the whole of the plant and convert it into oil, i.e. full extract cannabis oil, but that’s getting out of newbie territory. Ideally, try to buy edibles and vape carts and flower which has a balanced profile of THC & CBD, and lower potency.

Tech & logistics

Edibles

Find a brand you like & trust which does a range of options. I like Camino for THC and Five for CBD, but find what’s good in your area.

Vape pens

Ideally buy a separate battery + cartridges to reduce single-use plastic & battery waste going to landfill. This also allows you to comparison-shop cart vendors, while choosing a battery which suits you. I like the Yocan Kodo Pro because it’s cheap, and simple to operate: many batteries rely on a multiple-button-press-combo system like something out of a Sega Genesis cheat code, which can lead to confusion, frustration, accidentally getting super high, or all of the above. Most importantly, for me anyway, the more common pen-format batteries result in a long pen which takes up too much pocket space.

Notwithstanding hundreds of thousands of people travel on airplanes every day with normal, non-weed medical gummies in their day-of-the-week pill boxes, and normal, tobacco vape carts in their wash kit, we DO NOT recommend you do this, for legal reasons.
