    Sativa lovers

    I love anything "Jack." From Jack Herer to Jack the Ripper, J1, XJ-13, and of course all the others with similar smells and effects like Cindy99, Trainwreck, Ghost Train Haze, Super Lemon Haze and Dutch Treat. It's the citrus fruit and pine brigade :-)

    A vape with the power to punch you in the face like a bong?

    The hit you get is dependent on several things. First - how much herb is loaded in the bowl? Second what is the temp you are vaping at? The bigger the bowl, the more material that's in it, and the hotter the temp used - all these factors will determine how big a rip of cannabinoids you get with...

    convection vs conduction

    I have one convection vape: an EDIT Convector, a rebranded Weecke Fenix. I use a medium grind. The bowl holds about 0.2 gm and I do not pack at all. Convection only works well when hot air is pulled via a draw through the heater which is underneath the bowl and freely passes around and through...

    Cannabis Cup CA 2017

    Just curious - have you been to other Cannabis Cups, or Hempcons, in California? High Times is having some problems with the Cannabis Cup in Las Vegas, Nev that is on Native American land. The feds just let them know that consumption and distribution isn't allowed per federal law. I'm not saying...

    Cannabis Cup CA 2017

    Just remember that to participate in the consumption area you still must be a medical cannabis patient. The general public over 21 can get in to see exhibits and speakers, listen to concerts and buy paraphernalia, but if you want to buy bud, concentrate, or edibles you must be a patient...

    My Stash

    I always look at my newly purchased bud with a jeweler's loop, but I also buy about 95% from dispensaries that claim publicly to test everything they sell for contaminants like molds and pesticides in addition to cannabinoid potency profiles. I have yet to find any mold. I do remember going to a...

    What's your occupation or field of study?

    Retired RN, I worked 40 years in acute care hospitals - 20 in critical care (ICU and ER) and almost 20 as a Clinical Systems Analyst in hospital IT. I used cannabis occasionally to rarely while working until the last work year (2014) when I got prostate cancer, had surgery and then needed...

    What do Californians (and the rest) think of AUMA?

    It's so easy to throw out baseless, cynical and accusatory comments these days in the age of anonymous Internet forums. Heaven forbid that public servants might actually be intent on serving the public, as compared to greedy entrepreneurs willing to cut corners in pursuit of profit, but who...

    Does a product containing high thc but low thca still need to be decarb?

    The THCa in your sample is very small and when decarboxylated it converts at a ratio of about 85%. 85% of 0.84 is 0.71. If you are vaping the oil the remaining THCa will be converted to THC. If cooking: "240° F for 60 minutes should be enough to decarboxylate any cannabis with a reasonably low...

    Are Strain Review Sites Useful?

    I appreciate that the placebo effect is real (BTW I'm a retired RN with 40 years of acute hospital care experience) and I don't discount that expectations can affect the experience. But I have several times vaped what I thought was an Indica strain near bedtime only to be wide awake for 90...

    How to survive a cannabis tasting session?

    "Unlike psychoactive THC, CBD has little binding affinity to either the CB1 or CB2 cannabinoid receptors." "By inhibiting the enzyme that metabolizes and degrades anandamide, CBD enhances the body’s innate protective endocannabinoid response. At the same time, CBD opposes the action of THC at...

    Are Strain Review Sites Useful?

    Since most strains I obtain at NorCal dispensaries have very similar cannabinoid profiles of THC and CBD, etc., it's tempting to assume that the 20% THC of Jack Herer and the 20% THC of a GDP should have the same effect. But they don't. Jack gets me up and awake, while GDP will put me down and...

    Age of the FC Community plus a lot of nostalgia

    I'm 69. I spent the years 1965 - 1970 getting high just about everyday, including 25-30 acid trips and 5-6mescaline or peyote trips. Then I got married, went back to school, learned TM, raised a couple kids, and worked as a RN for 40 years. I got prostate cancer several years ago and started to...
