I'm on a cannabis safari of sorts, it's my duty to sample and observe. Last night I ran down to the closest "place" and got a
Jetty Indica Dablicator, and an
ABX Grandaddy Purple cart because I need to get some indicas in da house.
Started with the ABX, and wow, this
IS the GDP I've known. They apparently have the technology down, restoring the endogenous terpenes, flavonoids, cannabinoids, or preserving them. Whatever they do, they do a good job. These ABXs are the most strain-specific carts I've found so far. I have the Jack Herer (meh strain), Sour Diesel (Yah! strain), an 18:1 CBD one (
snap out of it strain) and now this mellow yet focused GrandDaddyPurple. Impressive, to quote from
Casablanca, "this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship", I'd like to try all of them, or at least a few. What a Christmas present
a little presentation case with a few ABX carts and a battery would make ;-)
Thus encouraged, and more motivated and fortified than I expected, seeing as I prefer sativas --wow I think I really like this GDP cart -- I attacked the
Jetty Indica Dablicator. Oy. I don't want to be too hard on a local company, but I don't know why they bother with the "indica" appellation, let alone a specific strain like "do si do". A cute little dispenser squeezes out a clear goo. You can even dial up how much. Clever, though the metal tip is too fat to fit any of my devices directly.
As it heated on a Quartz Quest cup I found two stages: stage one in which you inhale THC with something that tastes like some "natural" cleaning agents. Not the fake sunshine orange terpenes, not the recreational fake tutti frutti from the 50 gallon drum "flavoring". More like the Amish idea of green magic bathroom cleaner. IMHO it's odious.
Then, stage 2. It doesn't take long for the ornaments to dissipate (thank Heaven). You're left with, tada, THC. Undifferentiated THC. Well, OK. It's not a BAD thing, but it's nothing like full cannabis. I can imagine some engine grease smeared WWII German U-Boat officers vaping this schtuff. Helps with the night vision on the periscope.
And then the odd thing is how it resists vaporizing. I've gotten that with pure distillate and THCA crystals. You get a puddle of this perfect molecular lubricant and it doesn't boil, or burn, it just sits there until you go epic on the temp. Anyway, it's allegedly decarboxylated at the pump, so you can add it to your food. I'll try to find a use for it in
MY U-Boat. It was $20 for half a gram, which is good.
Boy, are we spoiled! What a miracle this legalization. So after 50 years, it took a long time, but now enough people at least know that this isn't a very dangerous substance. Thank you, voters, because it's far better than just Not Dangerous.
