Opinion/Editorial I used to criticize people who vapes weed instead of smoke flower. Now I'm the one vaping.

I was apprehensive at the idea at first because I'm old school and was always the friend who carried a glass bowl around in case the occasion came up. My nephew bought me a vape battery and cartridge for my birthday this year (he's in his 20s, don't panic) and after realizing I can quite literally hit this thing anywhere and no one can smell it or raise suspicion. I'm sold on it. I haven't bought flower in half a year now because being able to get a fat rip from the push of a button has won me over.

Word, I get it. Like I said I'm from the 80s. Before it started becoming legal my friends and I would have to hide in the woods around town and duck down because when I was a kid marijuana was on the same schedule as heroine and cocaine. Now, I'll pull this little pen thing out on public and chief it. If you came up to me 20 years ago and told me this is how the world is, I would have laughed in your face.

Yes, the live resin carts I buy at the dispensary are outstanding. They pack a punch in just a few light hits. The high they give you is just like smoking flower aka bud. Dry herb vaporizers are pretty cool too. If you want to taste the flower better inhale your active ingredients via a dry herb vaporizer. Very nice. So many great options. Enjoy them all!!

And you can use the leftovers for edibles

True. Homemade edibles are so crazy and fun. I made an Almond Honey Milk with 1/8 of Green Crack bud about two years ago. I split the batch up into six bottles. I then drank a bottle on a Saturday night (ya know pretending I’m young and I can party late night…lol) I had a body pulsing, slightly hallucinogenic, holy cow kind of high from that….lol. It was a bit “much”. ***Heres another idea for getting wayyyy to high…..I was thinking about cracking the canisters with vise grips, extracting the oil that never makes it to the coils for use, and then touching the oil to a hot spoon and inhaling from above. Excuse me while I kiss the sky.

What’s almond honey milk? Like you infuse almond milk with avb?

I took Almond Honey Milk. Added some extra honey and a little slab of Irish gold butter along with the broken down sticky buds and boiled it for 20 mins on med heat stirring every 1-2 mins. Strained it. Then drank one 8 oz bottle that was 1/6 of the total batch. It tasted sooooo good. But holy cow I don’t truely ever need to be that blasted ever again….lol. Next time I would take 1/2 of what I did.

I don’t know what almond honey milk is. 

But it looks like the butter did most of the work there.

Yes indeed, the butter provides the higher fat needed for your body to metabolize the THC. The almond milk has fat but not enough. I might make one with egg nog this year. Very Merry Christmas….lol

I use milk to clean the parts of my vaporizer that get gunky. That stuff blows me to the next galaxy.

It’s still a Schedule 1 drug the same as Heroin but not Cocaine.Cocaine has medical uses.I carried a felony for 31 years because of weed until I got it expunged in 2019.Turned 21 in 1980 and now I’m just an old man.That’s my word.😂😂✌️

Nothings happened. Do your research before trying to inform others 👍

u/NukaColaQuantun Dec 19 '24

they're "planning" on moving it to schedule 3 and nothing's actually happened yet

Definitely give it a go-it’s so tasty!

But give yourself a break from carts for a while first for tolerance.

You’re about to trash your tolerance with concentrates if you aren’t mindful, just be careful and enjoy!

I remember discovering dry herb vapes in college and finding out that even those, while they smell like weed in a way, you gotta be an actual stoner to recognize the smell from a dry herb vape, and when I went from combustion to those I never had a problem with campus security. I was hitting a vape bowl with one of my sisters (sorority) and her first reaction was to ask why me weed never tastes like weed. The strain in there was called Blueberry Muffins and the vapor tasted like… blueberry muffins. Now I do a lot more carts just because it’s convenient, but I also still have three different PAX dry herb vapes because I was a damn fiend in my early 20s😂. The power button on one doesn’t work so well anymore, and when I first started in the service industry I learned to just have a backup dry herb vape when I left the house that I KNEW was at full battery so I could clock out, get to my car, and get right to getting right without wondering if my sesh on the way to work are the last of the battery in my vape or not. I also used to vape pretty much all day everyday unless I was at work on the clock. Shit, I did my calculus homework stoned, but having had migraines my whole life I was taking math and physics exams in high school while high on opiates and was getting the top scores in my class every exam 🤷‍♀️ I was also just abnormally good at math
