    Getting someone to try cannabis rather than sleeping pills

    It's a mixed sedative anti-psychotic, with a very wide range of effects, including some antidepressive activity. It makes you sleepy the way phenothiazines, tricyclics like amitriptyline, and antihistamines like diphenhydramine (that you find in most overthe counter sleep aids) do. So it's not...

    Police Raid on Vitolo's Home

    Your attorneys are probably quite right in context. But isn't it a matter of size? I mean if CNN came down there and it was on everybody's news, it seems certain they would have to back down. Isn't it all just a matter of relative amplitude? Here's hoping at some point when you're safe, it all...

    Getting someone to try cannabis rather than sleeping pills

    Wow, bum trip there! If it does that to you, you probably should avoid it entirely. - devil's advocate 2 :evil:

    Getting someone to try cannabis rather than sleeping pills

    Which strain would you vote for? I'm not sure which one to offer my wife, she's having trouble sleeping of late. She reacts very strongly. The last one she tried was Grand Daddy Purple, and it kept her head working. I'm thinking maybe Purple Kush? that sure works on me. But maybe just some...

    Arizer Solo

    Hey, @ataxian, been a while. Do you find the cotton method better than a bit of screen or Bikel & Sikel oil pad? No burned cotton taste? With flowers I always use a screen on top of a ball of SS mesh, that acting as a spacer in the Solo stems, because a whole stemfull is a waste. Then just...

    Any advice about dealing with anxiety?

    Wow, so many of us ... and so many ideas. Feel for you, @Mr. Gweilo 420. With all this lifestyle creative problem-solving, allow me to only focus on pharmacology. We do have some reasonably helpful "western" meds, but they are patches with a much greater cost/benefit than Big Pharma admits. You...

    Getting someone to try cannabis rather than sleeping pills

    @Eschient's points are indisputable where cannabis is illegal. Where it's "medically tolerated", there are still possible issues, like the long half-life and potential accusations of "impaired driving". Even where it's (finally) completely legal, the driving issue remains. There's something to...

    Sleep problems since cutting down

    What I was wondering about is the specific weird and sluggish effect, if different strains would affect you differently. For me a Sour Diesel is very energizing, and say a Purple Kush is very sedating. With all sorts of in-between, and quite odd effects from other strains. Like recently I ran...

    Anxiety

    Chainfire is 100% correct IMHO. Tiny amounts can be the best. And our bodies change with exposure to cannabinoids. Check it out.

    Sleep problems since cutting down

    @sz1a I wonder if the strain would affect that. Do you have access to a wide variety ?

    Sleep problems since cutting down

    Not surprising, big changes are taking place in the nervous system. The obvious advice is to make changes as gradually as possible. It's silly to think Cannabis would be the only psychoactive without any rebound. Every action has an equal reaction, as they say. It's just that the effect is so...

    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    uh, what is RxW? @215z why is it that you say you can't exhale vapor through your nose with an herb vape? But I agree about loving blowing tasty luscious vapor, and that's why I vape 0 nicotine 95% glycerin juices for the taste and fog (the remaining 5% BTW is flavoring, e.g. sweet vanilla...

    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    Push? Well, my avatar apparently plays it. As for me, I'd say it still works fine. You'd think such a primitive device wouldn't work as well as it does, but it generates hot air, I think it gets some degree of temperature feedback from the way the coil draws current, kinda like nichrome wire on...

    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    @2clicker, there were many discussions of this formaldehyde "finding", Dr. Farsalinos (interview starts at 10:20) wrote a rebuttal to NEJM as I recall it's mentioned during this clip I don't know what all the fear-mongering is about. People inhaled burning fermented tobacco + garbage heaps...

    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    The ideal device will have programmable heat cycles, like to warm the wax to help it flow and wick, then just hot enough to vaporize the desired fractions. Something like this maybe ? go to 23:30 for the Bluetooth functions. @2clicker the 40x formaldehyde has long been debunked. They ran old...

    Gear Best Clearo for Pure Gold?

    With nicotine liquids, the standard procedure is to rinse and dry burn atomizers. Every few days if you like a clean taste. Of course you dump excess liquid. With precious oils, that's not very practical. So if one could sync things so you consume the oil by the time it's time to do a deep...

    Gear Best Clearo for Pure Gold?

    Sure, loading up the Vhhit ceramic rods with wax works. I'm managing best by babying the mini ProTank2s. I keep a different 100% dark oil in each one (plus a PureGold one). I'll pulse one to get the erl thinned and wicking, then take 3 gradual slow hits while being very attentive to what's...

    Gear Best Clearo for Pure Gold?

    I'm a hard core vaper, I started with high nicotine amounts in flavored VG (glycerin) and PG (propylene glycol) four and a half years ago to quit cigarettes, and gradually lowered the nicotine. I sit at the computer now and chain vape zero-nicotine flavored VG like there's no tomorrow. But I...

    Gear Best Clearo for Pure Gold?

    It's basically a Sapphire that can be taken apart. Got to be FAR better. The only thing is you have to dedicate both cart and atomizer to that particular oil. I like having several very different strains all ready to go. But I can appreciate this fer sure!

    Gear Best Clearo for Pure Gold?

    Sure is cute, Why do you say "not a daily"? So you either fill the cartridge or just fill the bottom? or both? These type Joyetech atomizers were once popular in the eGo format for e-liquid, but they tended to leak, so they've repositioned them as micro e-cigs. How's it doing with the...
