My MJ Journey

[GenYHippie]

Maybe consider taking a couple of hits back to back?

I didn't go quite back to back today as my throat is still irritated but I did them closer together (still just two) and it has been helping smooth things over. I didn't get home till after 5 so I didn't want to get to energized on a sativa leaning Jack. My sister is sending her nebulizer and im going to dig out the humidifier to keep out and around till my throat "toughens up" some.

Its not bad just a little sore and tight feeling. The effect of the MJ is entirely worth it! Nice side effect of jack is I see to be a more optimistic person

That's great news!

I hope the humidifier is suffice, would be uncomfortable to resort to a nebulizer. I do find it strange though how the vaporizer is irritating your throat, especially with such low temps?

Edit: I suppose it makes some sense, especially if you have not inhaled anything ever before really.

I never had an issue with Vapor irritating the throat till the last round of sore throat/cold that was going around. Now I understand what's up with throat irritation and vaping. (For giggles, well actually for pain, tried vaping dry, with water, then with water & ice..... the water & ice combo made vaping with a sore throat much more tolerable!)

Thank you im so glad . I just finished dinner and I have yet to throw anything up! I always set a 60 minute timer when I finish eating, if I can make it that long I can generally avoid vomiting most of that meal so heres to hoping .
I don't plan to put any meds int he nebulizer just distilled water to help moisten thinga up a bit. My dad especially cant take humidity so I cant run them downstairs. Keep the humidifier on all night and maybe the nebulizer when I start feeling irritation.

Saying I have a sensitive throat would be an understatement. Between the vomiting and reflux adding anything to that gets complicated. I have to wear micron allergy masks to measure flour for baking because it irritates my airway so much. Im sorry it got to you when cold season came around hope your feeling better now! Interesting about the water/ice thing. How do you do that? I don't have any neat attachments yet I spent all my safety net on herb and a solo.

First , the Gong for the Solo is needed for the style water tool I use.

Borrowed this pic, mine doesn't have so many bowl/attachments hanging from it.
Simply the Solo to Solo Gong to Water Pipe.

In the picture here, look at the main/large tube. The bottom is filled with water, then the glass in pinched to accommodate ice over the water. I used it for a long time with just water, but once I tried ice on top, never looked back! (Crushed ice provides max cooling!)

Hope this helps!!!

Ahh yes it does especially the pic. I was in over my head there till I saw how the ice sits. Aside from on here ive only ever seen glass smoking pipes so all the gear is new to me.

You might actually try vaping through warm/almost hot water.
When I have an irritation going on, that soothes everything really well.

 

[RUDE BOY]

^^ I don't find cold/ice to be very nice on my lungs either. warm/hot water seems to smooth vapor out and soothe irritation eliminating most coughing.

 

[GenYHippie]

Thank you Enchantre and rude boy. I know frozen air like in the market makes me cough but I figured once the heat of the solo was added to it maybe it wouldn't? All I can do is experiment right? Just like to have the input on how to start

ETA: A side question with the Jack Herer being more staiva how long should I stop vaping before betime? I vaped later yesterday an was up till 6:30am. I am a night owl anyway so I don't need the help. I figured I vaped between 5 - 6 pm and it wouldn't effect me, it could be any number of other things but I thought is check with you all

 

[equatorgringo]

So how's the journey progressing @GenYHippie ? Sorry to bump your thread if you didn't want that, am just genuinely curious!

Feel free to bump anytime its very kind of you to check in on me!

Its progressing, still slowly though ive been sick so much with a killer sore throat each time. Not so vape friendly sadly . Back in track the past 2 days though so hopefully by tomorrow I will have enough "built up" in my system so feel consistently better.

Mainly sticking to Jack Herer since I know it works but next up when I have a day I can be home more Blue Maui is up next. Once I kick the last of the cold ickiness I want to try the edibles too. I don't want cold symptoms getting confused with the edibles. First time I tried an edible (little muffin I made) I got VERY dizzy an it was not a fun ride the rest of the night.

Im finding lots of strains to try like granddady purple, various girl scout cookie blends, and such. Still need a PM dose that isn't too heavy on the CBD. I do have a few hybrids with higher CBD's but I don't vape above a level 2 temps yet so im holding off to get the best out of them. Plan to try level 3 sometime soon see if it gives me more relief.

 

[GenYHippie]

Ok another update, this one rather laughable/amusing . Just got home from the first appointment with a new GP and he wrote me for Marino! Only my pharmacist knows I have a card and vape so it was hard to keep my mouth shut and not laugh in the office. Don't want to get written off as a stoner so I just said "oh ok well ive tried everything else what can it hurt?" . Going to fill it but id prefer to stick to real bud. Upside is now if I come up positive on any test I have a more "socially acceptable" excuse for it.

 

[GenYHippie]

Ok im not sure if I was just destined to have a crap morning or if it was the new strain . I wasn't feeling as bad when I got up so I decided to try blue maui. One hot level 3 on solo and I got the unpleastant tingling again mostly down my legs, then this pressure behind my eyes and dizziness quickly followed by more nausea than I was already dealing with .

The Jack I have been using is 10.25 THC and 0.32 CBD the Blue Maui is 17.16 THC an 0.3 CBD so is it the extra THC doing this or maybe less CBD? I only vape at level 2 regularly but ive been moving up to level 3 over the past few days so I wasn't sure how much of the CBD's I was getting anyway.

After hearing so many good things about its parent stains it was a disappointing reaction. I took the one hit at 1:15pm its now 3:25pm an I think im over the worst of it. Havent had much dizziness in the last 30 minutes and the pressure behind my eyes is almost gone. Ims tarting to feel like I could sip or nibble and might not puke it up.

For the future if this kind of thing happens is it possible to sort of "course correct"? Like if its a high THC strain and I feel lousy can I take a hit of a higher CBD to even it out or will it make it worse? Nice thing about vaping and doing small amounts I can keep talking myself through it that its only 2 hours of misery before its pretty much over.

@GenYHippie

Edit: Jack Herer is one of the more powerful sativas that I've experienced. I limit my own Jack Herer use for daytime only.

Clone of DUTCH CRUTCH: (Dutch Treat crossed with JACK HERER)
Looks like Day time?

The Mom is 5 feet tall!

 

[grokit]

What are those white things in the pot?

@GenYHippie, sorry you had that reaction!
I can't imagine having all of the choices you do.
I would love to test that new strain for you!

 

[ataxian]

What are those white things in the pot?

PUKA shells!

I boiled them first!
20 years ago on a beach in COSTA RICA I picked theses up waiting for the tide to change so I could surf!

 

[grokit]

Are you using them for algae prevention?

 

[ataxian]

Are you using them for algae prevention?

Exactly!

I have the two clones in rockwood and Hydro rocks.
Ran out of rocks and crabbed these shells I had.

It works!
I could of use black plastic for the same effect.

 

[grokit]

I like foil, because it reflects the light back up. If I leave hydroton rocks exposed they will turn green.
Also they make coco mats that are pretty cool for smaller pots:

I have 26/24" colas in 5th week of flower.
One plant from seed!
My legal medical grow.
Spending $ to grow is painful as back in the day we just threw down seed and let them grow.
God is a better gardener than us!

The shells were free!

Cool Caps!

Thanks me too. I may try again on a day I don't have to be as functional. The first time I tried Jack I got tingling too so maybe my body is just going to freak anytime I try something a little different. I wish I could send my fail strains to all of you who cant just call up a dispensary.

I have some waiting time until harvest!

Today I stocked up on some JC OG FLOWERS and TAHOE NATURAL WAX!

I use concentrates to help me deal with ataxia!
Also love flowers they help as well.
The Taste of the JC OG is all time amazing!
Effective wise? Smooth!
I wonder if you can get this one?
Tomorrow I will try out the wax.

I grow and make my own medicine however I like to try what's out there when need be!

Ive seen some OG's around but not that one. Any recc's for nausea strains that aren't likely to cause dizziness (I have inner ear issues)? Jack doesn't seem to be helping today . Nit sure if I should try an indica at a higher temp or go back to the lower temp on sativas. Right now im just tired...

I woke up with nausea!

I grabbed my cheap bubbler and a Sherlock.
Inserted a GonG into my vaporizer.
Set on level 4.
Started drawing on level 2.

Low to high range in one complete session.

My favorite strain for flavor was CACTUS COOLER (hybrid) however the effect gave me a bit of paranoia!
The JC OG seems to have the same great flavor as the CACTUS COOLER how ever the effect is pleasant.
(indica)

I know the main medical reason is effect however I'm finding flavor important to what I medicate with!

 

[grokit]

What's a good strain for waking up with a tension headache?
Because that is my least favorite type of morning.
