I love edibles, and the homemade firecrackers I make when I have an abundance of bud could make Cheech & Chong pass out. However, firecrackers taste like shit, and professionally-made edibles don’t taste as bad, but they’re expensive AF.
Lately I’ve grown to love the convenience of vape cartridges, and no, not the bootleg ones that are making everybody sick. Professional ones from Portland dispensaries.
However, for the classic experience, you can’t go wrong with flowers. Smelling that sweet, sticky stank when you open the bag, lovingly grinding them up and releasing even more of that skunky funk, followed by the delicious, warm, acrid smoke… I truly think getting high is as much about the process as it is the product.
No joints for me – I’m the only smoker in the house, and J’s don’t make economic sense. Especially since Mrs. Homie makes me blaze up outside. I do love a pipe, but at the end of the day, nothing beats the beautiful sound of a bubbling bong.
I see no point in doing something that will make me stupid. Especially if it illegal, as it is here. Even if it becomes legal, I won’t unless and until a doctor recommends it as the best medical treatment for me at the time.
I’m boring and live in an illegal state, so I have only done homemade of a few varieties.
Of the ones I’ve tried, the bong is by far the best. The smoke isn’t nearly as unpleasant as it is in a blunt or joint.
I tried edibles a few times, but its hard to dose them properly. I get anxiety with too much weed, so it’d be nice to live in a legal state where I can measure my intake down to the mg.
In Canada where cannabis is legal, there is another option - soft gel capsules.
They’re not strictly edibles and, I think, have better quality control (or at least more precise dosing) compared to current edibles.
Since the soft gel caps of one brand are identical, produced and looking like generic vitamin E capsules, I assume that absorption of their THC from the ‘stomach’ and into the bloodstream is more predictable, and their effect more reproducible than edibles.
WTF. I don’t understand posts like this. The OP is asking about preferred methods of getting high. If you do not ever consume marijuana, you have no relevant info to share in this thread. And to make it the very first response too. SMH.
As far as my favorite method, probably good ole fashioned smoking. I like all the peripheral aspects to the smoking experience; the taste, smell, act of smoking itself, etc. I’m too set in my ways to ever really find a new fav.
That being said, I do love me some oils. Rick Simpson Oil? Gimme.
You left out flower in a vaporizer that can do flower, like a Volcano. That was my favorite method for a number of years, but lately I’ve been using a cartridge vape pen. Which I think you also left out, unless I’m unclear about what “wax, dab, shatter” means. Not real familiar with those items.
Don’t threadshit. If you don’t have any interest in THC, don’t post in obviously pro-THC threads.
I’m sure there are other THC related threads whose topic allows debate over their use or opinions on either side. Feel free to post in one of those, or create a thread of your own if you’d like.
When out in Las Vegas this past August, I picked up an edible [tangerine gummies] and a vape pen. I gave the pen a good test, a light delicate barely hit, then a second one the next day, the third day I did a good solid hit. All 3 tries I hacked up my spleen [or so it felt] WHile I had been a smoker back in the early 80s, and had at that time been partial to a good single hitter, I figured that I had not smoked and pretty much would have to get back into smoking by getting past the hacking. Not going to happen. The edibles were ok, but they had a minute amount of coconut oil in them, which gives me the shits so it wasn’t worth getting the shits to kill pain - though both pen and edibles worked as pain relief.
Went home, let roomie who is a current smoker of both tobacco and weed give it a go. SHe also about coughed up a lung.
WE have both decided vaping is not the way for either of us and it was real disposable vape pen from a dispensary, not a juul rigged cartridge.
What I am going to try next is getting the resin and making my own tincture and doign it a drop or two under the tongue PRN.
