Due to your recommendation, I will keep an eye out for this. A local dispensary has their prerolls, so I will check it out (and that will be an easy and inexpensive way to do so). These recommendations are helpful, because anything on commercial web sites - including reviews - may be fake or...

The local dispensaries (California) have some very good flower at reasonable prices of famous strains (Sour Diesel, Blue Dream, etc.) Then they also have flower at twice the price, which is usually strains created by the grower (i.e. not in Leafly's list of 2,600 strains!). So, I am curious -...

Don't forget that water is a good solvent...

Although I have personally never had a professionally made "edible" from a dispensary, nevertheless from the packaging, it seems clear that they are trying to achieve cannabis effect without cannabis flavor (as opposed to "double chocolate truffle with extra cream" flavor). So, it seems that...

I just talked to someone who has been involved with cannabis for many decades, and they said that the idea of even noticing the flavor of cannabis, first became prevalent in the 90's. I'm wondering if that was an innovation of the first dispensaries - rows of different cannabis strains in jars...

My local dispensary has a strain that is not even among Leafly's 2600 strains, so I searched the web and came up with a page that had several reviewers try it. The reviews went on about the colors and smells of the buds, and then quite a lot about the flavors. And maybe about three or four...

To be clear, I am only identifying general trends. Like in everything else, there are lots of exceptions. At this point, the genetics of "strains" has gotten way out of hand - Leafly lists almost 3,000 strains - and almost everything at the local dispensary is not listed among the 3,000. :)...

Much, if not most, of the current cannabis culture is unscientific nonsense. It's generated by the combination of prohibition and the vast sums of money created by prohibition. A great example are those temperature charts you find on the web sites of vape companies or commercial organizations...

Pot makes everything more intense. That is what is meant by "getting high". When you go to a concert and "smoke pot", you do so to make the music more intense - as well as all the other sense impressions at the concert. Pot makes you paranoid - why? - because it makes getting arrested more...

Ed Rosenthal confirms that freezing is best, and has other recommendations and details: https://www.edrosenthal.com/the-guru-of-ganja-blog/how-to-properly-store-cannabis

From wikipedia entry on challenging US Scheduling of Cannabis as a controlled substance: "The Department of Justice also considers the fact that people are willing to risk scholastic, career, and legal problems to use cannabis to be evidence of its high potential for abuse:[21] Throughout...

Thanks for your reply. So, is that a possible rationale, or was that the stated rationale of the Prop 64 creators? ( It seems to me that in regards to the tax issue that a) the business is taking a loss on the item, so it seems odd to tax a loss, and b) even disregarding a), then the rule...

In California's Prop 64 which legalized sales in Nov 2016, it states: "26153. [No Give-Aways] No licensee shall give away any amount of marijuana or marijuana products, or any marijuana accessories, as part of a business promotion or other commercial activity." What is a possible rationale for...

I wouldn't worry too much about the reports of the White House group that sent memos asking for more negative statements about weed. 30 years ago, the White House created an "Office of National Drug Control Policy". You may have heard the head of that office called the "Drug Czar" in the...

I've tried to find someone who has described the HIGH from pure THC (aka "THC isolate") that has no other cannabis components. But none of the articles on the web talk about this in any coherent way. Our state implemented mandatory testing of cannabis products sold on July 1st, so everything...

A grower told me to put it in Mason Jars in the freezer. I did so, and removed one recently that had sat for several years, and it is not only the same as when I froze it, it's also better than what the local dispensary is offering. :) So, there might be some theoretical reason for the...

Here is what I've read: "A study from the University of Chicago in June of 1989 found that any THC inhaled into the lungs is absorbed into the bloodstream almost instantaneously. So in other words the time that it takes you to inhale deeply and then exhale is more than enough to get the...

More ergonomic if what does what? I'm not sure what you are saying.

Just to be clear, it is a famous myth that holding your breath after an inhale makes the hit more effective. In fact, actual research shows that holding your breath adds nothing - except - that the temporary oxygen deprivation affects your brain. So, due to the effect of the oxygen...

This is what I am advocating above - except that we need such a glass mouthpiece that does not go inside the chamber. That way, there would be a cool (i.e. not hot) mouthpiece that would not require being pulled out while still hot.
