Dabs are putting me to bed.

I love trying different strains of herb because I love all the different feelings you can get. I have found though that regardless of the batch from my dealer the feeling I get from bho is basically always the same. First let me say that I love bho, the flavor and efficiency are wonderful but I've found that even when the head high goes away I experience extreme lethargy and a body feeling that makes me feel like gravity is a bit stronger for the rest of the day. I'm wondering if this is common or if perhaps there's some impurities in the nail/torch/oil that I'm using that could be making me tired.

I can see clearly now the smoke is gone...
I find the same to be true sometimes. I wonder if it is just the potency of bho causing it.

I think it depends on strain and dosages. With dabs its easy to overmedicate and saturate your system with cannabinoids very rapidly which most likely contributes to you feeling more lethargic on come down. I find that if i stay on a sativa oil and use my persei i can avoid the effects you are describing.....til i go home and grab my muh fuggin torch and heat that Ti :lol:

Try smaller dabs during the day. Just enough for a brain tickle, not enough to get ripped.

I don't have the luxury of choosing strains

Hey,when doing dabs,can you tell if the "dab" was from a sativa or an indica? Do the characteristics carry over into the dab?

This. All of the people on youtube who make videos and what not take massive dabs that comprise the total amount of BHO I consume in a whole day. It's amazing how high you can get off of a quarter BB sized dab, I see no reason why people are dropping like .1 in a single go. And my tolerance is very big, all things considered.

haa ya.. that'll do... iv'e been using sativa oil on the nail lately and it gets me tired like cellardoor is talking about ha..

Strong Sativas do the same to me. It seems to be that the stronger the Sativa is the harder the "come down" is for me and it makes me very tired and if I lay down it is nap time.

For the most part I can tell the difference and it is easier if the strain is predominately Sativa or Indica, hybrids that are Sativa or Indica dominant can be less noticeable. For example, Sour D and Double Dream wax gives me a clear headed up Sativa high, Master Kush, Big Buddah Cheese, and Ewe II waxes give me a nice all over body stone, and hybrids like GSC and different OG hybrid waxes can vary whether I feel more of the Sativa or Indica characteristics.

Sometimes it's more noticeable then others. Right now Sour D is my daytime oil. If you over do it with some strong sativa strains you can get that kinda racy, caffeinated sorta buzz goin. Whereas if you take a good dab of some Abv oil or rig reclaim you better get a pillow and a blanket ready because :ko: it's freakin' night night time.

Strong Sativas can hit me the same way, really racey caffeine type of high. I use to love that, now It can trigger some anxiety if I do not mix up my strains. Something new that I have been trying is mixing Sativa and Indica waxes together to create my own hybrids.

Sometimes I'll mix reclaim with oil made from Sativa (the only thing I can find around here) to help balance out the buzz. I always add some reclaim to shatter... I hate watching shrapnel fly everywhere when I'm trying to dab up. The only thing I hate more than wasting oil is getting a piece of shatter lodged in my cornea.

Anyone consider that it may be the THC degrading to CBN causing the sleepiness? My thinking is that post-extraction, the THC is much more susceptible to degradation. I've noticed that older, like a week older, oils make me more sleepy than something fresh from purging, but maybe this is influenced by personal bias.

Same here, that's some dangerous shit. Gets in your eye, can't be washed away by water or tears. I used to use safety glasses after one particularly bad experience, but then i started to mix with 'claim.

I usually use an 'edged' concentrate tool (looks like a chisel tip on one end and a thin flat kief skillet on the other), where I will haze the chisel end with some torch heat just enough to allow me to 'cut' the shatter rather that shatter it all over the place for the dab size I want, then use a pik to grab it and do my thing.

This is plausible to a certain extent i suppose it would depend on exposed surface area and method of storage. I wonder how much the degradation of cannabinoids is increased by freeing them from their waxy trichome shell. In this line of thought unpressed gently processed bubble would probably store the best, of the various forms of hash in regards to degradation through exposure.

Safety first of course, but i admit i cracked up when i saw this, because i immediately pictured someone with the safety glasses, hard hat and orange traffic vest all on. Stabbing pieces of shatter next to a rig :lol:

One of my dabbers is a Skillet tools-flexy its good for this, for scooping wax and scraping reclaim from glass too. I like my dabbers with a lilttle claim on em to help dabs stick though so i normally snap of small pieces in wax paper so it doesn't fly everywhere. If its still a bit big the heat from my hands through wax paper is usually enough to let me spear off a small chunk.

My first run of BHO with the Top Shelf, came with a VERY heavy high. Knock you on your ass, high. Wasn't too fond of it, actually. But, sharing it with combustion friends, they LOVED it.

Second batch, same stuff... came out smooth. Real nice, awake and alert. While the 1st run, had a real strong Sativa effect come on at first, it blitzed you with a strong Indica feeling, shortly after. The second run, kicks in right away. First thing I notice, is the pain in my back, just kind of melts away. Then the head high, rushes on.

I'll get a good 1 1/2 hours out of the head high, if I'm not feeling like dog @#$% that day and the pain relief will go on, for a couple hours, at least.
