    Post your decarb method here!

    Hey fellow FCers. I use cannabis for medical purposes and have been interested in preparing my own edibles for more effective longer lasting pain management. I have read fairly extensively on cooking with cannabis including the book: "the art and science of cooking with cannabis" which talks...

    Pain Management - how do you cope?

    Does cannabis just allow you to relax and/or forget about the pain or does it also actually have an analgesic effect and help to reduce the pain?

    Dispensary vs LPs (Canadian Licensed Producers)

    You know, I should of know MPN stood for medpotnow. However, I forget, but on the CALM forums there is a story about medpotnow and it isn't a good one from what I remember. Ok just read it apparently it has to do with medpotnow apparently reporting other dispensaries in violation of...

    Oils from Licensed Producers

    So my disappointment has reached a new level with the oil products from licensed providers. The only LP that has a license to sell oils from what I am aware of is Peace Naturals and when I popped on their site I was just astounded at the price and the quantity of your prescription that it...

    Pain Management - how do you cope?

    Thanks for the responses. I was really hoping this thread would be a little more active. There has to be others out there who use cannabis as part of their chronic pain treatment plan. I definitely agree that at least for me cannabis alone doesn't do enough for me pain relief wise. Though I...

    Dispensary vs LPs (Canadian Licensed Producers)

    Has anyone ever tried medpotnow? They are a dispensary in bc that does mail order and they look like they have some nice stuff. Lots of lab tested nugs and photos are available. Not the cheapest but the buds look nice. I have never ordered from them though, I just use CALM for my dispensary...

    Pain Management - how do you cope?

    For those of you out there treating chronic pain with cannabis I am wondering if you still use prescription pain medication along with your cannabis to help either manage the daily pain or manage breakthrough pain? Also what medications do you use and what kind of chronic pain do you have? I...

    herbalAire Elite

    What's the advantage of the PV hA gong over the stock oem that should adapt in the same way? As far as I know the PV hA gongs can void the warranty because they get stuck inside the herbalAire. I would double check with the manufacturer to see if this is the case. I know they strongly suggest...

    GAMMA IRRADIATION - Is it safe for your medicine?

    My question is do you think the terps were even there to begin with? I haven't ever had a terribly fragrant batch of irradiated cannabis before, though I have only tried 2 types, but they definitely had terpenoids as my LP lists a "terpography" map showing the concentrations of the terps in a...

    GAMMA IRRADIATION - Is it safe for your medicine?

    Apparently gamma-irradiation is used for immuno suppressed/compromised individuals. I'm guessing that level of sterility is necessary to ensure they don't get any contaminants in their bodies. Where is the source that claims this process kills terpenes and other essentials from the cannabis...

    Dispensary vs LPs (Canadian Licensed Producers)

    I have never had a chance to try any product from Tilray, but have always read pretty positive reviews, although they seem quite pricey! Have you been over to lift.ca for LP/LP Cannabis reviews? That is my main source for information on LPs at the moment unless you have another resource. There...

    Dispensary vs LPs (Canadian Licensed Producers)

    At risk of derailing the dispensary thread and the other thread about licensed providers I thought I would start another thread about what people think about the cannabis from their licensed providers (LPs) vs dispensaries. Also, who do you use more of and why (quality, price, convenience...

    Canadian Licensed Producers

    Yeah lots of people have 2-3 or even 4 or 5 LPs. I personally only have one and deal with Tweed. Tweed is surprisingly inexpensive if you buy the right strains. They have OG Kush, Chocolope and Super Silver Haze all for $6/gram. If you qualify for compassion pricing then that works out to...

    herbalAire Elite

    yeah, it can be a tough decision because they are both great units. one thing for certain is no matter which one you go with you will be getting the same quality extraction. that helps and also doesn't help because if one was better it would be an easier choice. herbalAire has a handy quide on...

    Green Oil - what all is it good for?

    How long did you do the initial wash? I was reading the instructions on the green oil machines website and it says for dabbable oil and such to wash for only 3 mins. If it came out super green it sounds like you might have over extracted and pull other plant based compounds with it. As well the...

    herbalAire Elite

    Yes the crucible attaches to the mouthpiece, sort of just snaps on, and is inserted into the herbalAire. Then removal is a snap as you pull out the mouthpiece and the crucible comes out with it. Makes handling hot crucibles a breeze. You even get a little Teflon sleeve that allows you to insert...

    herbalAire Elite

    Thought I should reply since nobody else did :) This thread does definitely seem to be pretty dead and many elite owners and elite based discussions end up in the H2.2 thread. I am really happy with the Elite. The digital temperature control is nice and accurate and it heats up really fast...

    Discontinued herbalAire

    Just a follow up to my other post about how I use the herbalAire H2.2. I don't want to suggest to anyone that my way is the only way to get good results from small amounts. There are a variety of ways to use the herbalAire. I use it a variety of different ways and it is all about what you want...
