Darkness before the harvest

i recently had all my toes amputated and lost both my heels to gangrene, i went from morphine 6x a day and a fentanale patch to tylenol. needless to say it don't work. i went to a pain management doc. and he told me they can't give more opiods due to legislation? he gave me breathing exercises like a pregnant chick. try breathing like a preg. chick 24 hours a day. the doc also said this is why so many ppl. turn to herion. i would not do that but i would smoke 100% thc weed
 
You can get a messed up as you want but dont drive.
My typical evening ends after a cone, 2 markers marks on the rocks and 6-8 beers but the only place I am going is to work in 9 hours after
 
Blueydog, buddy. This is not directed at you. It is directed at the idea of people using marijuana for medicine. There are exceptions, as most dope smokers claim to be, but in general, the following.
A 30-year-old who began smoking weed when they were a teenager did not begin smoking to get rid of a backache. They did not start smoking for the placebic or actual medicinal value of it. It was to get fucked up.
A 30-year-old who torks his knee, researches the myriads of choices of pain relief and settles on weed is trying weed for medicine. But...
Accurate dosing with flower is impossible. Have I ever used the "I" word? Not sure. Every bud is different. There may be an average over the whole plant, but to say, "Imma gonna use me 1.4 grams of bud for .X-grams of THC, .Y-grams of CBG, and .Z-grams of CBD." just ain't hap-nin. You use until you get the affects you want, yeah? What medicine is dosed as, 'Take until you feel better, but don't take too much or you'll freak out.'? You have the one-hit-wonders and you have the tried-and-true border weed.
And smoking a medicine? Huh? I'll eat my hat when someone convinces me the benefits of the canna-'s in weed outweigh the physical damage from smoke or vapor. We used to think tobacco and alcohol were medicines, too. How's that turning out? If we call something that has great potential for damage a medicine, we use that as a shield. I had a girlfriend who tried to convince me weed was bad because it was making my lungs black. But her doing meth was okay because it kept her from getting fat.
Me? I smoke dope because I like myself and the world better when I'm high. It's just a better place for me to be.
Before I get hammered by a bunch of people telling me I don't know what I'm talking about: first paragraph above, fourth sentence.
 
See if a dispensary near you has any 400mg Each gummies. My wife went into a dispensary in Maine and asked for the strongest gummies they had. She wont do that again. She got 10 (4000 mg) made by a local company called Baked Bliss, popped her usual 2 and I had to carry her to bed and she is a regular smoker. I took one and ended up stuck it the chair for 4 hours. Now we just take a very small peice and chill. A half of one is a garenteed weed hang over the next day
 
BHO is dangerous and illegal.
Check the link. That process is only negligibly dangerous, mitigated with a fan, and perfectly legal.
 
Vape pens are generally over 90%.
THC-A diamonds are 99.9% but can make a strong man paranoid. That is the most potent product you can get.
I don't know the legislation of it. A responsible doctor prescribes opioids for acute pain, not chronic.
In my past... a treatment I heard for amputee pain (phantom limb syndrome) is to have the person look at the site of amputation in a mirror. It's about seeing there is nothing there to hurt. Sorry if that's personal.
 
Completely agree re smoking/vaping re dosing, but it still has medicinal value in a whole range of areas even so.

I've used it the first 25 years of my life simply to feel good and used it with my partner for intimate purposes. Last 10 years I've also used it to sleep and without it at times of pain it was impossible.to sleep, different types of pain at different times. I've also used it just to get rid of pain and its worked quite well for me for that too. My pain is not chronic yet but one my medical condition is.

I know it works differently for everybody as what works for you may not work for me and it may well be I have a low tolerance to it as I have always suspected and I've maintained that low tolerance somehow so it stands to reason then that some will need quite high doses compared to my wimpy doses.

What does concern me is the too gooders that want to wind us back to the times of total prohibition and they are still trying to find any bullshit to do so. Chronic exposure is one of their excuses.
 
Another side of this is cannabis cannot be abused or misused because no one has figured any of this shit out. Dosing, I mean. How much canna- do you need to... 100lb body vs 200lb body. Half life. The only way you can abuse or misuse something is by using it for other than intended purposes.
 
We're off topic? Are you new here? You are conversing with a bunch of dirty, dope smoking ne'er-do-wells, and scofflaws with clinically measurable levels of dead brain cells and poor short-term memory. It's going to happen.
But it is very much related to your original idea of wanting to get more bang from your bud. Why do it? How much difference is noticeable? Is it worth doing? We can't just answer a question and stop. Once a bunch of answers get thrown out, we go improv.
Or maybe I'm just the kind of high that sees how it all comes together.
 
It's all a dark puzzle that surrounds a myth that drying your cannabis in the dark for two days before harvest will increase your THC levels. Me, I'm just glad to have a new spot for a different cultivar under the light and one in the closet ready for execution.
 
When I worked for hippies up in Humboldt in the 90's they used to do this. When I started working for licensed grow ops the staff botanists would laugh at me when I mentioned what I had learned. The takeaway from all the shame was that when the lights go out photosynthesis stops and the plant will start distributing the energy it made for the plant so that when there is available light for photosynthesis the energy needed to complete the chemical reaction is there but that only goes on for less than a day so going beyond that just stalls the plant. There question to me was "Why would you want to stop 2 or 3 days of more growth?". When I told them the hippies told me that it raised the THC level.....well....another round of laughter. Apparently they were of the belief that THC levels are genetically determined for the most part and the little we could do to raise it was dubious at best.

As far as Dab, if you got an extra $250,000 laying around this machine will do a great job at extraction!:hard-laugh: Took this pic at my buddies old extraction lab.

We need more of this kind of porn. Before I drop the cash on that, I need to grow enough to put in it.
So, what does your buddy have at his new extraction lab?
