This is exactly how I feel. I will always prefer flower because it's unaltered from nature..ratio of cannibinoids etc.

The only concentrates i touch are keif and the occasional hash. The only thing I could say is that with flowers you're vaping plant material...so correctly extracted concentrates have the upper hand there.
But really I don't see it as a significant difference. Plus I like having a relatively low tolerance.
To each their own though....I know dabs are all the craze now
selective breeding happened first with the little monk dudes High in the mountain cultivating hemp to cannabis... they are still doing it to this day
I apologize for not seeing this one til now! The stable up-temp method is wonderful, albeit time consuming. I do wonder if the hex-nail has automated this process yet though, if so, then it would be much easier to do more quickly
This is definitely the case if you continue to use escalating amounts of concentrates in the same way that gave one the initial large tolerance with flower.
I really can't relate to this, I've always gotten up and worked the next day as normal after a larger dosage the night before than I would usually have. This is profound because I have disabilities which would very often prevent somebody from EVER WORKING. Medical cannabis is the key to a productive, functional life for me.
This is no doubt just individual variation, as you said, you suffered a brain injury and of course that can change what happens in your ECS in a very big way.As above, endocannabinoids and endocannabinoid systems even in mammals long predate any records of plants containing phytocannabinoids. I remember reading this in an article by Ethan Russo not too long ago. If I recall the title, I'll share!

As you say, tolerance can definitely sky-rocket either way. My starting material (flower) always ran out more quickly when I vaped flower only before I went to only vaping concentrates. I find that for medical scenarios like mine, if flower does not provide the required effects/longevity, it is even easier to overdo dosing than with concentrates which can provide the required effect with one small dose (flower also has the problem that some flowers from the same plant will have less resin than others which can make dosing more inconsistent). YMMV if you are using for different medical reasons or non-medical reasons of course.

I have no problems with staying mentally stable following the occasional larger intake of cannabis resin. Not to say that your experience was not exactly as you described, I of course take you at your word my friend

Some cannabis trivia: Many stoners think that the discovery of the endocannabinoid system is proof positive that we were MEANT to consume cannabis. This claim does not hold water when we consider the best available evidence showing that endocannabinoid systems long predate phytocannabinoids.
and maybe revive this interesting thread. About 6 months ago I switched from vaping flower to only dabbing rosin that I press myself. I had a great collection of high end flower vapes and bubblers, but the vapor still always irritated my throat and made me cough a bit.
Thought I'd give my
Ever since I started dabbing only rosin my throat feels much better and I very rarely cough. I used to vape 1-2g of flower a day and now I dab .2-.4g of rosin a day. I squish all my own rosin so I know my average yield is 20%. That means I'm dabbing about the same amount of cannabinoids as I used to vape in flower.
My tolerance hasn't changed but now instead of vaping my usual .15g bowl I have a 30mg rosin dab and feel the same as if I'd vaped a bowl of flower. The differences I've noticed are a far better flavor experience, no coughing or throat irritation, less muddy high, less time and trouble, less build-up of vapor odor on walls and furniture.
I've dabbed plenty of high quality BHO too and I have to say that for me rosin feels much closer to the effects I get with flower. I've measured the temp of my dab dish at 390F which is even lower than I often used to vape flower, so I think I'm getting less potential toxins vaping one rosin dab than taking 4 hits of flower vapor at the same temp.
I never imagined cannabis could taste so good and be so easy to dose without throat and lung irritation. It's hard for me to see how it could ever be healthier to heat all the extra plant material in a vape instead of just the active compounds on a low temp enail.
I wonder if part of the reason that concentrates can be more efficient for some people, is that the entire dose is usually consumed in 1-3 hits depending on how much you use. That allows it all to hit at once, which probably makes it feel stronger than the same amount spread over a 30-60 minute session.I apologize for not seeing this one til now!

Do people really have 30-60 minute flower sessions? If I did that I'd be vaping flower all day long!
My flower sessions used to take 5 minutes max for .15g bowls and that included grinding and packing. Now my dab sessions take about 2 minutes or less. That one dab in 2 minutes makes me feel almost exactly like the .15g of flower in 5 minutes. I don't think that consuming the same amount of cannabinoids in 2 minutes vs. 5 minutes makes it feel stronger at all.
Those longer sessions are basicallly taking a hit every so often while doing something else, like reading stuff online, or watching videos. It wouldn’t take that long to just cash the load and move on, but it’s more like sipping a nice glass of wine than doing a quick shot of something more potent.Do people really have 30-60 minute flower sessions?

That is true, however, I doubt that Cannabis “evolved” the ability to produce psychoactive chemicals as a result of contact with humans. We definitely increased the levels of such chemicals, with selective breeding and culling, but IMO, it’s more likely that they are produced to serve some other purpose (perhaps protection from consumption or from intense sunlight).
that would explain the droopy eyes LOL and me looking down at that thing thinking it's still going??
praise the sea squirts
