    I stand corrected. So far I have visited only three of the five in RC.

    California Cannabis News

    San Bruno was one of the cities in San Mateo that formerly opposed cannabis dispensaries. San Bruno now has a dispensary just outside the SFO airport. I reckon the city fathers noticed that the sky did not fall in Redwood City, which opened three last year.

    What causes greening out?

    In my experience dehydration is a major factor in greening out. Drinking a tall glass of water stops the feeling of about-to-faint. Note Perfect_Speed's #3. It doesn't need a rig; the only time I actually hit the floor involved a "My god, it's full of stars"-level home brownie. Drinking water...

    California Cannabis News

    Governor Newsom signed some bills today. My long-awaited favorite is AB 1775, which allows licensed cannabis lounges to sell non-alcoholic food and drinks, and sell tickets to onsite events, with local government approval. Alas, he vetoed AB 1111, which would have allowed cannabis farmers to...

    Weed, pesticides, heavy metals and mold 😮. What’s in your weed ?

    Since it sounds like LA Times content may be inaccessible to some folks, here are a couple further items from SFGate news. The presence of pesticides in California oilpens has led one doctor to tell folks they'd be safer smoking flower...

    Weed, pesticides, heavy metals and mold 😮. What’s in your weed ?

    I'm no chemist, but this bit of citizen science caught my eye: "This tool may hold the key to avoiding heavy metals from weed" https://www.greenstate.com/perspective/dry-herb-vaping-experiment/ If valid, great news for dry herb vapers as well as ice hash buffs. Home-made edibles from ABV may...

    Weed, pesticides, heavy metals and mold 😮. What’s in your weed ?

    It's probably no comfort that California weed is cleaner, in general, than the food in the supermarkets -- lead in ground cinnamon and baby food, cadmium in dark chocolate have both been reported of late. People have the reasonable expectation that something sold in a licensed dispensary isn't...

    Yocan Cubex Dab Pen With TGT Technology

    A follow-up: the sparkly violet Yocan Cubex lasted for six months of light use before charging the battery failed.

    California Cannabis News

    Decades ago I visited a couple of coffee shops in Amsterdam. It was a great experience! San Francisco is probably too expensive, but perhaps we'll see one in the East Bay... BTW someone asked earlier in this thread about the scarcity of walk-in dispensaries between SF & San Jose. I don't know...

    Weed messing with anesthesia??

    In the last two years I've had three procedures that required general anesthesia. For each there was a "pre-anesthesiology" meeting where I was asked about weed and told to abstain for a few days before & after. I was asked if this would cause me trouble sleeping; I said no. (Thinking on it now...

    Which Log??

    An old-generation walnut eNano helped us keep our sanity in 2020. Kept it on a wicker table with a couple of comfy chairs next to glass doors facing southwest, and made a sunset ritual of it.

    Yocan Cubex Dab Pen With TGT Technology

    You don't. It's a ceramic donut coil that has a second heater positioned in the center to catch melted concentrate that pools under the donut. I'm guessing Yocan wanted something other than the Orbit for the part of the market that is not into cotton swabs or spinning balls. (Am I the only one...

    Hang in there, Capt. You might see a Redwood City dispensary within walking distance of Caltrain sometime in 2023: https://www.yahoo.com/now/juva-life-begins-construction-redwood-090000839.html

    What's all this talk about taste?

    Not tasting anything but 'flat cannabis' can be a matter of how you are using your flower vape. If you have been focused on efficient and rapid extraction, try turning your vape temperature way down. I habitually start sessions at 350°F. My better half starts even lower, at 330°F. At those...

    Pax - All Models

    I recall that in 2020, PAX announced that the Era Pro battery met UL's industry-voluntary e-cig/vape electrical standard. Are the new PAX vapes also UL 8139 compliant? I could see trading that for the Bluetooth foolishness, and it would secure PAX's reputation as the safe alternative to all...

    What erigs are you currently using?

    In December 2021 I picked up the original Crossing Core during a sale and fitted it with the Divine Tribe v5 coil that Humboldt Vape Tech was selling as an upgrade to its Hyperion (their label for the original Core). The ease of cleaning the V5 makes this my preferred way to use rosin. I thank...
