Micro-dosing

[MinnBobber]

your post is the main reason to allow anyone to grow cannabis legally... if there are others who are not able to grow theirs then a kind hand out is in order..

Minnesota, of course, banned home grows since it was not in the interest of the 2 monopolies ( each manuf has their own territory/cities). Al Capone would be proud
If home grows were allowed, instead of paying a yearly $200 State fee, they could grow their whole year's supply for that $200.

Oops, forget the true rationale for no home grows-- too dangerous of a drug, that "pot":
MN allows families to home brew 200 gallons of beer and 200 gallons of wine. World Health Org says alcohol kills 2,500,00o people each year.
Cannabis-- zero, but there might be side effects???

After a T-break from Sunday til now to prep for a colonoscopy, that first micro dose of Lucky Charms was niiice.
Really nice in fact. And feelin lucky and charmed to have no polyps

With all of the lines of communication that have developed through and with FC, I can see great prospects for compassionate supply to others. Since this is the microdose thread, I wanted to add that I am finding my daily attitude adjustments work better if I stop at 1 or 2 hits......

Great news on the clean screen!!!!! @MinnBobber

edit for spellin'

I would love to have like 4 varieties of plants to grow for myself, but I don't really use that much. A quarter lasts me an average of 3 weeks... Would 4 plants me way too much for me? What if I can't control myself with so much of it around? Hmmmm

Your states rules sound messed up. In MI under the medical mj law, your allowed caregivers. Caregivers typically grow for others ussually at below market prices. A caregiver can have 5 patients. He/she can have 12 plants for each patient, plus himself/herself for a possible total of 72 plants. Cuttings/clones are considered plants.

Typically caregivers patients are friends and or relative, but not always.

Patients are only allowed 2.5 ounces, and a caregiver can have 2.5 oz for each patient. Those ounces can be concentrates and or herb.

Hope your colonoscopy went well!

.............................................
Thanks, Yes, "less is more" as I had no polyps in my colonoscopy. That prep laxative swamp-water is brutal. The actual procedure is nothing---except for the usual trouble hitting a vein for the sedative

"Caregiver growers" would truly be the compassionate way to go/ clearly in the best interest of the patients for many reasons!!
Here in MN, that might mean the 2 monopolies would make a little less profit so that's a no-no.

Our MMJ program is so bad that I can only hope for an adult legal program...
Micro dosing is truly the world's best "daily health supplement" !

The more I vape the more I realize there is so much more to it than getting "maximum efficiency."

My body does not need those sedating high temp cannabinoids, I have to focus on feeling the best instead of "wasting" all that extra medicine. It truly does not benefit me (currently) to get everything out of my herbs!

you could save up and have an abv day! my first abv day was two 3.5 gram firecrackers LOL... two days more like it... oops this is the micro thread

What consider high temperature for you?

With the volcano, I'm doing 365, 375 and 392 with each turkey bag. I feel I'm hitting all the cannabinoids with these temps.

I'm thinking the effects I'm seeking are around the 350F range, which used to be about a 5 on my Volcano Classic. I'm looking for creative contemplation, positive mental health energy, self-support, and provoking thoughts. It just seems important to cater to our personal needs, but it's easy to get caught up in many of the other facets this plant can provide.

Hey inverted, can you handle the inhale on a capped FP SH? Do you have the showerhead, i forget?

I can probably find that temp for you on the FP now I know how the cap effects things.

I have the showerhead but I usually use it uncapped for less draw restriction. I've been navigating between 500-600 on the PID the last few days. Got a bunch of rips off 1/8th teaspoon of fine grind last night @500 - no clouds in regular light but fairly big under LED lighting. I'd definitely be curious of what settings get you to those temps though, I have a showercap here to experiment with, although I do have the handle on my bowl!

You did post some good info. You're just one person, tho. On a forum full of Cannabis users, with many people claiming to use strictly for medical purposes, getting more than just a few anecdotal responses shouldn't be a problem. If you don't like ongoing discussion, don't read it. It's easy enough to skip posts you aren't interested in.

I will never understand why people here take it personally when someone asks for multiple opinions. Reposting the same answers over and over doesn't help anyone, especially if the people get more annoyed each time they're answer doesnt end the discussion. If we can have a >30page discussion on using small doses, we can have a handful of posts about potential negatives of daily use. Now, let's get back on topic. If anyone wishes to further discuss the brain issue, go to
the brain effect thread. If not, just don't.


I'm pretty sure that overall, Cannabis has never has as high a THC:CBD ratio, as it does today. It used to have a much closer ratio, and then people started breeding for recreational sale appeal, which created strains with insanely high THC and very low amounts of anything else's.

Only recently, in light of more legalization efforts and medical information, has the breeding of CBD heavy strains come back into the light. Sure, it was likely done before by some people, but finding CBD heavy bud was nearly impossible, and it still is, if you aren't in a legal region.

[vapenerd]

I used 1.113 grams in the last 13 days. That's like 0.085 g/day. It's still plenty. I think I could cut down more and still have great effects. When I combusted 1 gram was done in 2 days.

Favorite vapes for microdosing? E-Nano, Vapman, Milaana and all Dynavaps.

I took this photo for the other thread, but I think it should also be here:

Here it is. I am not american, so I found some other stuff in my room and around the house to put around for size comparison:
A bic lighter, a VapeXhale ELB, an E-Pick, an AA battery, a match, a pencil, a bottlecap, an USB plug and an 18mm E-Nano bowl.
I don't consider 0.1g to be a microdose, unless you have very high tolerance, but it was requested, so its there too.
Weighted precisely on a miligram (0.001) scale. I'm almost sure there is less than plus minus 0.003g error.
It's still there, so if you want something added, just ask.

And a better one with more stuff (coca cola plastic bottlecap, MFLB, 14mm Arizer adapter) and ground bud (the grounds on the previous picture are sugar leaves):

I don't have a scale, so this picture is really useful, thank you for taking the time to conceive it @Seek.
In terms of micro dose I must therefore go at it intuitively. I mostly use now a Vapcap M, with @Squiby's suggestion of Degummed Hemp Fiber, which diminishes the size of the bowl and works as a filter as well. From what I can see from your picture I use a little less than 0,01g. Good to know.

By the way which 'other thread' are you talking about?

Have a look at @Seek post above yours and click on the small arrow in the blue quoted text box.
That will take you to the thread!
I see you have already seen the original post!

 

[Ricardo]

@Seek Brilliant job! That photo is so useful

 

[DirtyD]

So how many of the littlest pieces on the left = 1 gram???Trying to see if my math is right.

+/- 100 !

 

[DirtyD]

+ - 100. Amazing. Maybe one day for me. I will use the vapcap for this

 

[Seek]

Even all there is on the photo isn't a gram, should be 0.55g in the first picture and 0.72g in the second picture.

Ok, this is now the 4th time I have posted this in the thread: http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/micro-dosing.19915/page-11#post-1021597

 

[Little Bill]

@olivianewtonjohn good call. I use one and it goes to 20 grams which is fine if you are not weighing an ounce at a time. You could always break the stash in half and weight each.

Scales?

Try this millagram scale, I really like mine. Only negative, its hard to measure large amounts with the design (I use a jyarz glass core which has to be placed perfectly on the metal dish but works in a pinch for large amounts).

Works really well for small amounts, comes with a calibration weight and one reviewer tested against a multi thousand dollard laboratory milligram scale-it preformed very close.

https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM

I bought it years ago because I wanted to know who much my usually solo dose weighed and a regular scale wouldnt do it. Turns out I used about .040g to get high (basically a thin layer in the solo stem).

@Baron23 unnecessary expense and not currently available.

I know I posted this before, and it is a bit more money, but this milligram precision scale is rock solid and I am very happy with it.
