There is a chocolate bar called KIVA which is sold in legal dispensaries. The bar is Rich deep dark chocolate with blackberry flavoring. This is infused with Cannabis oil, which in itself is very tasty. Its always best to do Cannabis with a friend who has done it before so you know what to expect when getting high for the first time. Its not a scary experience and no one has ever died from smoking or doing weed.

With the candy bar, its already set up for cutting into pieces. Take a knife and cut off one piece and wait approximately an hour and a half. The THC high should kick in about that time. At the most two hours. If your high is insufficient enough take two pieces. Later, once you are used to the high, you can choose how many pieces you can handle at a time.

Its best to check with your dispensary or read the labels to see how much THC is in a product. Some products have a higher rating of CBDs than others as well.

Eating about anything else seems to take you down a little if you get too high. I'm a regular user so 30 or 40 mg of THC is about right. I like a brand of hard candy called Sinners and Saints. About $1.50 apiece where I'm at. $6 for a nice buzz that last half the day is a pretty good deal.

This time of year. I run out about June and have to wait for my next batch to come through because I always manage to cock my first Autos up early in the season which is my normal plan for cover during summer.

So now we wait.

If you have questions about Growing Cannabis may I suggest you send a message to SHRED, as he is successfully growing his own!

I will also message him and see if he will message you back.

I'm in Spain so we kind of can legally as long as it's not much. Plus seeds are legal to order so can get some good strains.
It's not legal to buy here though and there are no dispensaries(cannabis clubs aside which are clicky, intimidating and hard for foreigners to join) so growing is the best option when you have no contacts.

My only real problem is not growing enough to last a year, lol. And planting out too early with the first sign of spring but that is me just being impatient. It's good to take a break though and actually quite easy on the cravings.
CBD bud is available online as well but that is just smoking for the sake of smoking and not really worth it. Still I may order some.

Some people need to just use the CBD Bud because for some reason they are uncomfortable with the effects of THC. Its only recently that the US government had allowed Medical Scientists to experiment with Cannabis, learn about combining strains and the medical uses for CBDs.

So I got a small tent in addition to the 5.5 ft tall by 2 1/2 feet wide tent under the stairs and went perpetual. Now I root clones in the small tent ready Togo when the big tent finishes. Every 2 1/2 months, I harvest about 8 oz.

Sativa and Indica?

Basically Sativa will keep you wired while Indica makes you sleepy. I do Indica because it helps me sleep, and Yes the Kiva Chocolate bars do come in either Sativa or Indica.. so if you don't smoke, you can do edibles.

were not good for me. I do think pot should be as legal as alcohol however. Harsh laws over the past century have probably done more harm to people than the simple act of toking has. (IMO)

Not only that but, a lot of people made the mistake of smoking Cannabis leaves, stems and even Seeds, where today it should be well known, that you should smoke the buds..or the flowers. That's where the highest concentration of THC is.'

In high school this friend of mine thought he was like a drug smugger. would buy a bag and it was Cannabis okay, but just the leaves and steams... some seeds. No buds at all, he was totally ripped off but, we smoked his bag anyway..none of us got off..

Same here. I lost interest a couple of years before my daughter was born in 1982, after smoking daily for the previous decade. Maybe I’ll consider going back to it when I’m too old and feeble for other forms of entertainment.

I don't really like alcohol and I hate hangovers.
I'll sit and take a hit of the pipe or the vape. Chills me out. No headache. I may doze off but I wake up feeling great. Pot is the greatest drug since aspirin. All natural. You CAN'T overdose.

24 hour tolerance break once a month or as needed.

No permanent damage from anything cannabis, along the way, I probably experienced some mild psychosis and anxiety, but considering side effects from big pharma's product, very tolerable.

I use water pipes the vast majority of the time.

My lungs are still fine, I am a 50something non-tobacco user in Nevada.

Cannabis also removed my need for caffeine and improved morning lethargy and I sleep better now, 2 years running, such a difference in the morning!

Finding what works well is a struggle, but worth it!

I'd much rather get away from smoking it, but every time I've tried edibles over the past year or two, nothing happened. Absolutely nothing.

Granted, I live in TX, and the edibles I've tried are probably horrible compared to legal states, but for now, I'll stick with my little pipe, and a few pinches of jazz cabbage per night.
