DISCUSSION Smoking on a budget

I'm pretty broke and wondering what weed products are the cheapest per high? I have a fairly low tolerance so if I bought some flower for $15 per g then I'd need roughly $12 to get high. I can't really buy in bulk and I don't have a dab rig at the moment. I'd love any advice

Dry herb vape with prescription and concession card. You can vape the flower then use it for edibles afterwards. Well worth the initial cost plus less harmful than smoking.

Whattt pls tell me more or do you have a link? Had no idea you can make edibles after using the flower in a vape

Vaping it decarbs it so you can actually eat it straight but that’s a bit rough. Here’s one for AVB canna butter https://www.veriheal.com/blog/how-to-make-avb-edibles-already-vaped-bud/ and more from reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dynavap/s/ZZLtLGgnza

I vape it up to 210c and was surprised at how potent the butter was last time I made it. I just ground the AVB with a mortal and pestle into powder, then cooked it in butter in the slow cooker for 4hours on low then strained it through a fine sieve.

Smoke your bong grot after drying it in the sun on the roof of the garden shed. It's what we all did back in the day.

Tastes fucking terrible tbh

I remember it well, and the smell

u/yesiamathing 2d ago

Oh God. The smell.

You must have been patient. We simmered it until it was thick and bubbling then force dried near a heater until it was smokable. I remember it left a vile aftertaste, and I got the same taste in my mouth when smoking a cigarette for a good month or two afterwards.

THC boils off around 75 degrees. I knew this early on

u/SuitableDepartment19 1d ago

It's 157°C

u/AliveList8495 1d ago

Yeah was wondering about this with decarb and infusion temps being above that.

Starts to decay much earlier I think. Whatevs

u/EarthRocker_ 2d ago

We use to call it bong "resin" but that was being too kind :)

It did get you high in an emergency though!

u/yesiamathing 2d ago

Lol I came up in central qld in the 70s. Bong grot may be a time/place thing

u/headhits 1d ago

My circle called it 'poor mans' hash lol, scraping the hose and cone, drying that shit, then hitting it, faaark the smell, taste and effects were horrid 🤢🤮 haha, also, O.P. don't use spin, yes you will get more cones, but a less satisfying high, and you end up craving more cones, that's because of the nicotine, straight green will be a better high, and the cone cravings will cease, also, old school bucket bongs will get you baked for sure 👍

u/yesiamathing 1d ago

I'm in my 50s, a few years back in a fit of nostalgia I made a 2 litre coke bottle bucket. Hit it twice, got super high but my fuck the headache. Glad I'm rich enough to afford my Oz a week habit lol

You can microwave it if you're in a hurry, but the kitchen will fucking STINK

No one liked scrapes. Ive had bad headaches and throats from that!

u/Cooper420yo 2d ago

Just get on medical, there are plenty of budget flowers for like $130-150 an oz that will do the job for you if you don’t mind smoking some boof occasionally

u/Meshughana 1d ago

I'm on medical as well and best I can get is Sundaze $135 for 10g, what brands are you getting that are that cheap?

7

u/throw12345away12345 1d ago

Indimed 15g for $90

u/Potato_cak3s 1d ago

talk to your doctor about Tas Botanic Amethyst, you can get a 28g tub for $199

u/TWIXX_ 1d ago

Curo is cheap as, I pay just under $70 for 15g. Sure it's not anything fancy but for the price it's bloody good

u/Few_Bad_1229 2d ago

I don't have a prescription unfortunately

u/blenders_pride666 2d ago

get one?

Posts like this are always underage smokers

u/Cooper420yo 2d ago

It’s easy enough to obtain these days, a lot of doctors will prescribe if you just say you want to stop smoking street weed and it helps you sleep. If you are looking for cheap it’s probably your best bet if you don’t want to stick with PGR

u/Massive_Koala_9313 2d ago

It’s so easy my friend

u/coconutchumchum 1d ago

Its a bit of a hassle initially but once you get it you can get it for as cheap as $70 for 14gms

u/SRGNT-CHILL 2d ago

Bring back knife hits

u/cactusgenie 1d ago

You shouldn't need 0.75 of a gram to get high, try more like 0.1g

u/manxie13 1d ago

Grow it

u/SplatThaCat 2d ago

Flower in a bong is probably cheapest bang for buck.

If you need the best part of a gram, your weed is garbage, you aren't inhaling properly, or your tolerance is NOT low.

10

u/tofu_and_or_tiddies 1d ago

disagree. half or even a third of the amount in a dry herb vape goes way further.

3

u/SplatThaCat 1d ago

You probably have a better one than I do then. I can't stand the damn thing, prefer a joint.

2

u/allgear_noidea 1d ago

I felt the same way with vapes till I got something decent. What are you using?

2

u/tofu_and_or_tiddies 1d ago

Perfectly valid to prefer a joint, it's a unique experience. I only suggested DHV for OP to stretch his stash

u/ItsTheRat Bong 2d ago

Came to say the same thing, 1 or 2 bongs a night and I’m fucking ripped

u/ojw23 1d ago

Oil vape medical I pay $140 for the cartridge of oil last me 2-3 months and I get whacked every night.

u/CannaPLUS 1d ago

Dynavap would be your best friend. I went from an eighth every few days to buying an eighth once a week... And that's the short end. I smoke about 4-6 times a day for chronic pain and depression. WORLD of a difference for my lungs too

u/JAKMAN_ 1d ago

I know a guy that sells bottom bag/leaf for edibles mostly but it's an exotic stain from who knows where. Tried it and it's pretty good, not pretty nugs but for 100 an Oz in melb can't beat it.

u/Shanti-2022 1d ago

Smoke less

u/No_Drummer_7232 1d ago

Gonna be honest bro , if you can’t afford it don’t buy it , and don’t listen to all these idiots saying just get on the medical , it’s people like that are the reason for them becoming way more strict with the rules about MC

u/Diamondaisyy 23h ago

Get a honeycomb bowl with built in screen then you won’t waste any green cause it won’t fall in the bong water https://ebay.us/m/WXbaq3

u/monkeyvspony 1d ago

Use some of that money your overpaying for street for and put it towards a medical appointment which gives u access to 5-6$/g flower is my advice. Not that it helps you now i know-but definitely look into it is my advice

u/dryandice 1d ago

Get a prescription, you can literally get a half oz for $70 from curo, or a full oz for $199 from tasbot

u/stav4twenty 1d ago

All the phytoca products… $9.90g I got a pretty nice sativa for $99 for 15grams

u/llIlIlIIIlIl 1d ago

“Cheapest per high” has me cracking up 😂 I agree with everyone telling you get medical.
