It's a shame we couldn't have the whole Cannabis forum here right now to relax and chill out together...

(7,962 posts)I usualy get hybrids or indica cuz I like the body effect more than a head high. But each to his own. Enjoy.

(14,201 posts)Indica is for In da couch (not on the couch, since you could get up, but IN the couch)
My wife refers to the Indica as her "Big Picture" pot, and the Sativa as the regular stuff.
Glad I have family in Colorado that I visit several times a year. Always stash an ounce in a sock in my dirty clothes bag for the trip home; never had a problem.

(52,216 posts)so I could sleep better. About 3 months ago I met a person who was vaping in the park and I tried it. It knocked me for a loop and it was a surprise. When I needed to get more Indica (top shelf) at my local shop I went and asked about vaping. I bought a disposable one with India and WHAT A DIFFERENCE from smoking a joint, bong or pipe. I don't know why. It makes me cough but it knocks me out and I actually can sleep. I did the math and it is actually cheaper than getting weed. I have no idea why. The pros at the shop say people are different. If there was proper support scientifically from the federal govt we would be able to break it down and have specific amounts of the various chemicals in pot and their intensity and effects.

(21,646 posts)the sick people and kids we are lately finding out now can be helped , cbd oil benefits - my cat got cbd oil near the end at a vets suggestion. She said about 2 years ago she wants to tell everyone now about its anti inflammatory benefits it is a mj sup that does not get you high -no thc .
If it had been 5 yrs ago it would not have been that available or at all even though it has no thc content ,and he would have endured more inflammation without an easy fix. I know a couple people never smoked didn't want to get high but they illegally got pot years ago while in cancer treatments and it helped . This is at least now often available in a pharma form but back then nah people suffered
This is all besides just the folks who already were using and could have used cleaner stuff not full of pesticides etc. now the stuff at least is clean and knowledge is becoming more open so just like the different qualities of fine wine and where the grapes are grown is known and you get to know your stuff and what you like.

(52,216 posts)dogs with arthritis. I went to the place I get mine from and got wax and gave my 7 pound dog about the amount the size of a grain of rice. She could barely stand up and she looked like she was going to die. I took her to the emergency pet hospital and they had to keep her overnight and they called my regular vet who gave me a talk about it. Since then a large dispensary has opened up and they have a whole line of pet products with the details on the packages. If I ever consider trying it again for my dog I am asking her regular vet first.
lunasun
(21,646 posts)It's in a skin cream what we used rubbed on open area (tip of ear was our choice )and cbd does not produce any 'high' because no thc
Please consult a vet that knows dosing and this is not meant to replace a vet but just a read and this was not the product I used but this has an explanation

(21,646 posts)go beyond stimulation but sort of pass for temporary enhancement imo
Going back and looking over things when not under the influence only confirm but you can't be walking around like that all the time cuz wear you out whether physical or mental & that's not good . Some people do too much imo probably the same with indica I imagine you don't want to melt into the couch and stay there either

(25,855 posts)funny you should mention it...
So, last weekend we had dinner with friends who also like to imbibe. (Nicely here in Washington where it's all legal! 👍 . The plan was to have a fun Dutch oven dinner cooked over bonfire coals. It was delicious!
They had an mj vape device - my first time. No biggie. It uses mj oil, I believe.
Well, apparently, they also put mj oil in the Dutch oven banana bread, which I didn't quite catch... and I stuffed that sucker down.
Within an hour I was catatonic. I figured it was from the vape. I was paranoid all night long trying to sleep; felt like a psychotic break of some sort! Still thought it was the vape.
In the morning, I heard husband say he was hungover and he "reminded" me about the b. bread. Good thing they are good friends!
It's now Friday. I'm just starting to come out of the brain fog! Headache and nausea all week! I'm a relatively small person, and I know I can't eat too much in baked goods from prior experience.
Any thoughts when it will clear, or ever experienced this? Haven't imbibed all week - feel like I might be off thc for awhile!
Enjoy your day, anyway, Aristus!
Aristus
(68,269 posts)I stuck with edibles and sub-lingual sprays. But they took too long to get going.
S I purchased a couple of joints. They worked pretty fast, but the high was here and gone in about 30 minutes. It just wasn't worth inhaling all that smoke.
So I'm sticking to candy. I just start early enough on a day off that it wears off by the time I need to actually do anything...

Have you ever heard of a week-long mj hangover?
Aristus
(68,269 posts)Any hints on alleviating it if it happens?
samnsara
(18,281 posts)....but to get off the high (if its unpleasant) drink some orange juice...the sugar brings you down.
cilla4progress
(25,855 posts)No - no hints. It's not been fun. Water and sleep seem to be the best help.
Have a fun day and weekend!
Aristus
(68,269 posts)I appreciate it.

(11,994 posts)I took the risk on 4/20 and had a couple bowls. It was wonderful. Can't wait for it to be legal nationwide so I can go back to being a pothead!
Very soon, I hope...
When influential Republicans like John Boehner start investing in the business, you know they're going to drag other Repubs out of the Dark Ages before too long.

(18,281 posts)...the cookies were bright green. I ate part of one and nearly greened out. They were about 250 each. I tossed them ( safely and dog resistant) away.
Glamrock
(11,994 posts)That's drug abuse! And drug abuse is a crime!
Used to be able to get these wicked 420 mg bars at the dispensary. But recreational rules forbade such dosage. The bar was scored 6 ways, 70 mg each. A very fine all day dose.
CrispyQ
(38,166 posts)It's so good they need to make a non-med version so you can eat more. I'm saving mine for late afternoon when I sit out with the cat.
Aristus
(68,269 posts)So have all you want, and enjoy!
CrispyQ
(38,166 posts)This version, with the raspberry, is much better! But I'm happy to take your share! Enjoy your day off!

cilla4progress
(25,855 posts)yes, I was joking earlier in the week...I wonder if I will experience a permanent personality change? For example, I found myself listening more to music!
Seriously...I've been slightly high all week!

(24,004 posts)because I dont have a card. Im envious! But, I regularly buy CBD caramels at a local dispensary and they are lovely. There are so many uses for CBD and Im grateful I can at least get that. Enjoy your evening!
Aristus
(68,269 posts)Cannabis shops are like liquor stores. You just walk in, show your ID to the guy at the door, and then take your pic of merchandise. There are always knowledgable and helpful clerks behind the counter to help you make your purchase.

Next time, I'll get the sublingual spray again.
randr
(12,477 posts)Led me to the same conclusion. I am ok w CBD but the THC s way too good. Ill add that I have smoked nothing but the best bud for decades and the new edibles are a challenge.
MontanaMama
(24,004 posts)Im very interested in edibles...I cant smoke. Whats your take?
randr
(12,477 posts)Did get a cool vape pipe and process my own grown when ever I feel the urge. Otherwise I have found CBD products, sprays, edibles, and salves, helpful for what all ails me. At my age I have numerous ails.
lunasun
(21,646 posts)I said upthread my cat was on it for inflammation . I am so glad it was availble
MontanaMama
(24,004 posts)for sleep for me. No more ambien, melatonin etc. Topical CBD with lavender and other essential oils for aches and pains are also must haves in our house. Im super curious about CBD for your cat???? How did you administer that? My kitty, Louis, would eat me alive if I tried to slip that by him.
lunasun
(21,646 posts)but there are edible treats and tincture drops too
depends on what it's used for
MontanaMama
(24,004 posts)whats possible with CBD for pets. Thank you for the nudge.

(21,046 posts)The plant itself is safe.
The tinctures, creams, soaps, etc. are not safe for cats.
Thanks to everyone reading this fyi post.
MontanaMama
(24,004 posts)Youre correct. Stick to products formulated for pets. Run it by your vet if not sure.
