Is there anyone else on here that likes to smoke weed?

On all the threads I've seen that have mention cannabis it usually made out like the worse thing ever.

I'm a bit of a stoner tbh and just wondered if there is any others out there? I always see threads with people sharing what they drinking so thought I'd give it a go!

Not sure how this will go on here soo 🤞

We make hash (ice/bubble) using stalks, leaves and trim. It definitely shouldn't be wasted, but you wouldn't want to smoke it. You would need a shit tonne to make proper oil though @n00bMaster69
Spent the evening getting very stoned (we bought some new cooling units for our Mighty, and jeez, what a difference a clean one makes - we've been a bit slack at cleaning it out) whilst researching what to do with our ABV (Already Been Vaped) - we must have a couple of ounces of it now... does anyone use theirs? Can't face munching it as is, but seems it can make a good butter, or you could use it to make oil. I'm a bit scared of using the ISO alcohol though, but I'm might pluck up the courage to do it outside.

Last time I did edibles was my birthday last year (January 2019 - seems more than a whole lifetime ago!) with some weed purchased legally from a shop in Palma de Mallorca. It was so shit! All the times before have been a little too successful, giggling helplessly then falling asleep without warning.

I’ll experiment when I don’t have to worry about running out. Still have around half an ounce left but can’t grow any more here while my adult children and grandchild are staying with me.

RainbowBalloon · 21/04/2020 11:44

I agree it’s so hard to get edibles right. I had a really gentle oil infusion which I worked out at 5mls chilled me out perfectly and 7.5 mls I was high.

I then was given the coconut based stuff and tried the same but shit it was strong! I was tripping out and having a bad time so I’ve slowly upped it to a pleasant dose.

I was in such a state, seeing and hearing things. My dh was asleep next to me and I kept asking him to wake up and talk me down!!

stakeholderwizz · 21/04/2020 12:05

Placemarking as used to be a massive stoner and to be honest I'd much rather go back to that than continue
On the alcohol road I am
On right now! Sad

I agree it’s so hard to get edibles right.

It's a nuisance when you are trying to titrate the effect ... unless you are growing and harvesting and curing in a repeatable consistent manner (making the whole thing more industrial than is sensible in the UK) you'll have quite a variation across batches making them a tad unpredictable.

Taking a quick puff and being able to stop when the desired effect is reached is much better.

user1471565182 · 21/04/2020 12:14

nOOb its people who grow it generally, they have shit loads of stalks and leaves left over so they do get a good amount.

flummoxedlummox · 21/04/2020 12:15

I got a Mighty in January and it's brilliant, now I just needs to give up the fags to go tobacco free. Grin

user1471565182 · 21/04/2020 12:16

Reckon id soak it in grain vodka, Slurpy

Slurpy · 21/04/2020 12:59

Ooh, another Mighty person, hi @flummoxedlummox
We've had ours a good while, but DH has taken a lot of persuasion to ditch the Js (I think the problem was that he wasn't using his efag at home, so he was reaching for a spliff every time he got the nicotine urge), so only just getting to grips with it now. It's very, very good!
Spent some time looking at reddit threads about it and realised that there was plenty of things we weren't doing right and a whole world of accessories available for it. Quite keen to attach a waterpipe to see how it works but it's been a long, looong time since I last touched a bong!

Slurpy · 21/04/2020 13:00

@user1471565182 - that is an idea, but I'm such a total lightweight drinker (one piss-weak G&T is my limit), I'd probably never get through it!

tempnamechange98765 · 21/04/2020 13:03

This came up on my active threads!

I'm definitely not a stoner, but I am interested to hear how it affects daily functioning? My next door neighbour is definitely one, she must be late 50's, married with two teenage sons. I get regular whiffs throughout the day, often before midday. I've seen her get in the car not long after smelling it in the garden. Tell me that's not legal?

I can't decide if she's maybe doing it for medical reasons that I'm not aware of, she does smoke cigarettes too. I've never seen her husband sat with her smoking so I do find it odd I have to admit! I once went to get a parcel on a weekday around 2:30-3pm (she doesn't work to my knowledge but pre lockdown was ferrying both kids around in the car a lot) and she answered in her dressing gown, house absolutely stunk. She joked that the reason she wasn't dressed was because she was having a cleaning day. We both laughed but it was pretty obvious why she was still in her dressing gown!

flummoxedlummox · 21/04/2020 13:15

@ Slurpy I did think about a Volcano but the ability to take the Mighty out and about swung it for me after researching on Reddit and Youtube.

A daily walk in the park with my dog and my mighty does wonders for my mental health.

I love the dosing capsules for nights out (pre-lockdown). So easy and discrete.

thequeenbeyondthewall · 21/04/2020 13:30

@crayfishforyou

Make sure you de carb the weed first. Makes it easier to crumble into powder and it mixes better.

I usually break it all up smaller as possible them in the oven at gas mark one for about half an hour. Then I do what you do with a Betty Crocker mix. They freeze great.

TheUser420 · 21/04/2020 13:41

If it's been cured properly, it shouldn't need it.

That's one of the problems with street weed where the motive is profit. Everything gets cut to the minimum. If you consider it can take (at least) a good month to cure properly, you can see the incentive to rush things and force dry it.

I find quite often most "discussions" about cannabis are actually about street drugs and therefore not about cannabis at all.

Slurpy · 21/04/2020 13:50

@flummoxedlummox - we used to have a Volcano about 10 years ago and it did work really well, but it was quite a faff. Got to say, the Mighty works just as well and it's much more portable, even if it isn't quite pocket-sized. I'm eyeing up a titanium mouthpiece for it, though I've just spent out on 3 more cooling units, so maybe I should hang fire for a bit. My lungs are feeling the benefit after ditching tobacco.

@TheUser420 - agree, curing just doesn't tend to be done by most. I cracked out my sunglasses for the first time this year the other day, and found a quarter in the case that I'd clean forgotten about. God knows how long it's been in there, but it was nicely cured! I'm hoping when we finally find our homemade hash (lost for some months now, hidden somewhere safe) it'll be nicely cured!

SpoonBlender · 21/04/2020 13:52

I can't bear modern weed so I've just given up. About a decade ago. Even edibles are crap compared to when I was a teenager - getting stoned is not supposed to raise your heart rate and anxiety! Mad.

If I were to start hunting some down, what's the right thing to search for for old-fashioned happy mellow chillout purposes?

Blinkme · 21/04/2020 13:52

I'm really glad someone started a thread about positive cannabis use.

I smoke daily, it keeps me mellow and im so much more creative and happy when I'm stoned.

I am a fully functioning member of society, my kids are happy, fed, bright, warm, clean and live in a clean home. I love cleaning when im baked, the place is always sparkling.

420 was spent well

TheUser420 · 21/04/2020 13:57

Many years I read a passionate article from a 60s grower bemoaning the fact that most growers failed at the last step and missed out on getting the best effect because they didn't cure.

found a quarter in the case that I'd clean forgotten about.

Proof that stoners are most definitely not atheists Grin.

It's also worth noting that if you grind and smoke/vape, then there's a secondary decarbing after grinding, so if you wait a few days before rolling/vaping, it's even better. Certainly more fruity and sweet.

Crayfishforyou · 21/04/2020 14:02

I do miss the days of good old afghan black, best hash ever.

Like to know this, as far as I don't know any people who do partake!

TheSparklyPussycat · 21/04/2020 15:32

Guess what I've just got! (non-stealth boast)

thejollygargler · 21/04/2020 16:10

You can go off people @thesparklypussycat Grin

Day 3 of no supplies and another 3 weeks of very strict lockdown to go. I have spent the afternoon turning little baggies inside out and scraping dust out of the bottom of the box. Have managed to make 2 spliffs (lite!).

Seriously considering resorting to the contents of the hoover bag

sestras · 21/04/2020 16:20

I've not puffed for 9 years but could go a joint.

MerryDeath · 21/04/2020 16:35

is that stoners are at best boring but they are a hell of a lot less horrid than drunks! personally i like a hallucinogenic.
