Do you use your ABV?

I have saved for years and tried to make all sorts of things with my ABV. At this point the taste of anything cooked/made with ABV makes me gag, but I still save it for my friends.

I was never satisfied much with the effects either. It's certainly good for "practice", now I can make great cannabutter if I used real herb. :lol:

Where's the "I save it for the less fortunate/ultra desperate" option?

Id say that falls under no 2.

I typically blow my stems out into the wind. Don't really feel like taking the extra steps to actually do anything about it. Sometimes I feel wasteful doing this, so I'm wondering what everyone else does on the average?
Me too, though sometimes I blow it into a little cloth sack I got with my Underdog. Then eventually throw it in the compost.
My ABV looks like most people's HardlyBeenVaped, I suspect. Homegrown is essentially free, and once the taste is gone I'm done with it even if there may be a couple hits left.

Tasty firecrackers. 2.5 grams of ABV gets me blasted for about 6 hours. Made with the right ingredients, I can't even taste the ABV most of the time but when I do, it has kind of a nutty flavor.

So yeah, for me, it is definitely worth the effort. Why would I want to throw out a 6 hour high.

I've tried on several occasions making ABV edibles, but they were never that great. I now just save it up and do ISO washes. For those times I feel restless and can't sleep, a few dabs always puts me back to bed quite nicely:rockon:. So far this has been my favorite way to get rid of my abv.

Space is the Place
I don't save my avb, but often maybe 30% of the time I just pop the duff on the middle or back of my tongue and wash it down. Don't know if it really adds that much to the effects But I will say that out of some of my vapes the AVB tastes a lot better then others.

I have way you much saved. It's gotten so old that I don't want to cook with it. Feel like it might make me sick...it is natural plant matter and oils after all.

Abv smoothie is the best thing I've found for it, but I just hate the taste. Abv also seems to burn my throat a bit...maybe less so if you filter out the plant matter.

Oil Painter
The whole point of my vaping is to produce ABV - which I then turn into amazing muscle/pain rub! I also add essential oils to the mix to further enhance the effects.

My next batch will be ABV oil with Frankinsence, Myrr, and Lavender. Rubbed on the soles of the feet, it helps to kill pain, and also promotes restful sleep.

The endocannabidoidal (spelling skills are gone) system can uptake through the skin, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. Feet especially are important, as they are a major point for uptake/elimination.

I have to start another batch today...

That's an urban myth about the Twinkies

So what I'm seeing here is confirmation that even this stuff can go bad. Thank you. ;)
