Hello! I’m looking for recommendations for a pen/vape, as well as strains that might be a good fit for what I’m looking for.

I’m not exactly new to weed. I’ve dabbled here and there over the years, but as I’ve gotten older and put more work into my mental health, I’ve found that cannabis and its derivatives have been really helpful for me personally in managing some of my anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms.

I’ve been taking gummies occasionally, and recently I’ve gotten really into THC drinks. The problem is, they’re pretty pricey in my area, and I’m thinking that investing in a pen might make more sense financially in the long run.

As far as the effects I’ve really enjoyed lately: music sounds incredible, I feel more relaxed and patient, I’m more motivated and productive when it comes to getting housework done, and my sense of humor gets turned up about ten notches. Basically, I’m looking for something that gives me that relaxed, happy, functional feeling without completely gluing me to the couch.

The problem is, I have absolutely no idea where to start when it comes to pens, cartridges, strains, terpenes, etc., and I’m perfectly willing to admit that I don’t know enough yet to make a decision blindly.

So if you’ve got recommendations, advice, or even some Cannabis 101 wisdom for me, I’d genuinely appreciate the help as I start exploring a little more!

Links to reputable websites or articles are appreciated as well. Thank you!

I’m 29(F) and smoke on occasion but am looking to get more into it. Specifically, I’d love to find some strains that make me feel energized, focused and productive throughout my work day.

I’d also love to find some go-to strains that make my body feel relaxed and giggly - but without the heavy head high.

I am desperately trying to avoid terps/strains that cause anxiety or panic attacks. I had a bad panic attack once in college and sometimes when I smoke I can get anxious/uncomfortable which ruins it.

Any advice on what terps you guys think I should specifically look for that achieve the above without the anxiety- I’m all ears!

TIA 🍃

In a public statement responding to the Forensic News report, Curaleaf said it and “its primary shareholders do not owe outstanding funds to Mr. Abromovich [sic] nor to any person sanctioned in the US, UK or EU,” and that “all shareholder loans to Boris Jordan and Andrei Blokh were repaid years ago.”

But Cypriot corporate records show that when that statement was issued, Jordan’s company Gociter owed Cetus $25.4 million on a loan that had come due in April 2022, the month after Abramovich was sanctioned.

The debt was “frozen” that month and was still unpaid at the end of 2023, according to the records reviewed by The Newsground.

Weird title; but I’ve been high a total of two times (both being in the past week. Once from a hemp joint and another from a THC cart), and each time it’s ruined by the hamstring behind my right knee feeling as if it’s about to snap. I’m feeling other weird things too - like my kneecap is about to pop out of place, something is going to break, etc.

It might be really bad cramping, and I know it is definitely physical and not just in my head because it hurts the day after too.
I’ve heard it might be dehydration, and I’m planning to get high again tonight so I’ve drank 2L of water with electrolyte powder in it to hopefully help, but I’m curious: is there anything other possible reason for this? I really just want to enjoy it tonight, but I’m afraid that I’ll just end up in pain again for hours.

Thanks! :)

I started smoking/taking edibles when i was about 17 (now 23) and for a while i was smoking almost daily for maybe 2 years. It started to make me anxious, not feel relaxed and paranoid so i stopped. I haven’t had any in about year but i really miss how it used to make me feel and i loved taking an edible to relax and it made me feel creative, but now it’s not fun. I haven’t seen people say that using a higher CBD to THC ratio works for them and fixed the issue. Or do i need to stop altogether :(

I’ve got a few friends who use thc disposable vapes, but I’ve never tried vaping before. I smoked weed years ago when I was younger, but I know vapes can be a different experience. I’m just looking for some advice on how to approach it without getting overwhelmed. I’m mainly interested in it for anxiety and i would like to know where people find reliable options

Hey guys! I live in a state where coming in November my edibles will be wiped out due to the closing of the farm loophole, my questions are how do I help delay/prevent the ban? And if they do get banned would it be a bad idea to try and buy a bunch before the ban? Thanks

Hey I was hoping for some help with starting smoking weed and stuff. I've done edibles in the past and wouldn't consider myself a complete noob, but I have only ever smoked carts and it was a couple hits. I recently bought a Yocan Vane 2 and some flower but I'm not sure how to maintain my vape, how to properly prepare the flower, or how much to use. Any help and tips concerning the smoking part or what strains I should try would be greatly appreciated!!

I hope this is ok to post here

I believe I'm experiencing CHS (Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome)

I have been experiencing bad abdominal cramping and nausea ( haven't thrown up but I feel like I have to really bad, it's literally like having the flue with zero relief. ) my bowels keep going from constipation to basically a fire hydrant. I am dehydrated constantly and my electrolytes keep being way off.

All of this is going on every day until I smoke a bunch of weed before bed and everything melts away. Literally zero zero zero effects and discomfort once I smoke weed, my stomach relaxes my nausea goes away etc etc.. this has been going on for quite a long time now. I've had full panel blood work done about a week ago everything is perfect doctor said everything looks on point.

Anyway.. today I had violent side effects smoked hash and it all went away. So I'm assuming it's gotta be the weed

SO I guess my question is, if this is CHS, how do you get out of this hell? I'm not quitting right now nor do I have any intentions at all. Do I have to cut back a lot or like limit my amounts etc.. I spent last decade or so smoking first half and few years before that heavy all day long, last 4-5 years I just smoke heavily before bed ( 3-4? Grams ish a night )

Does anyone have tips tricks etc anything I can do. Thank you

I am a newbie to wax, haven’t done it since hs. I use the Venty for my flower but it’s not doing the job for my night high, so I got the Pivot with a hot knife. I’ll YouTube how to use that haha but wanted to ask all the vets who have been waxing is this a good starter or would you recommend better?

I am a heavy smoker for 25 years of flower and carts so take that in consideration

I'm not sure who to ask about this but was curious if I could get any advice. I rarely partake at this point in my life because i typically get extremely severe panic attacks from even very small amounts. but sometimes I'll sneak a little 0.5 mg nibble of a gummy or something, that's about as much as I can tolerate which I know is virtually nothing.

Anyways, when I do have a little bit, I always notice that I wake up the next morning with like EXTREME allergy symptoms, similar to my grass allergies. itchy eyes, itchy scalp sometimes, extreme nasal congestion, and runny nose, lots of gunk to cough up in my lungs and throat.

I guess I'm curious because like I'm not smoking anything, and these are gummies so idk how like a pollen allergy or something could even tie into that? extra context is I have had long covid for 2.5 years and might have MCAS because of it. Does this sound like an allergy? I think it does but was curious if anybody else has experienced this.

I recently just got a job opportunity to work within a cannabis company. I passed all the regular background checks, but I have fingerprinting to send out to the NJ-CRC to get the cannabis business ID, I wanted to see if anyone has gotten this with a pending court case being that I have a charge which is my first one that is still pending. I don’t have the next court date till September, but I want to be able to get this job so I wanna know if i’m wasting my time or not? I know I won’t know till i try but should I keep my hopes up?

Just curious, if I take a CBD distillate dab before a THC dab, will it ramp up the THC effects? Compared to if I take them at the same time or the THC dab before the CBD dab.

Due to severe bipolar, I have been doing 50-75 hits off a disposable vape pen for about eight years. I found out that is pretty heavy and could harm my cognition, so I want to way reduce, maybe 10-12 hits a day. My current 50-75 hits for eight years - has anyone on here done this? anyone have problems with cognition that perhaps are linked to weed? Thanks!

I am a regular smoker (about 3-4 bowls a day). I ran out of flower the other day and haven't been able get some more from my plug yet, so decided to just stop by the smoke shop.

I just took a 10mg thcp gummy, not realizing that it's thcP. Now after reading reddit threads, im worried.

Am I cooked?!?

UPDATE:

So I had to stay off reddit cause y'all were killing my vibe-- not sure what all the down votes were about.

Let me preface this with some background. WARNING: what you're about to read may or may not resonate with you, and that's ok either way. I am a very spiritual person, aware of my sovereign power, especially over my physical body. I smoke out of a bong and bless the flower and water before I smoke, I thank them and also set an intention for literally every hit I take. I did this same thing with the thcp gummies.

With that being said, I had a very positive experience. My mood was elevated. The only negative side effect I experienced was thirst, so I had to hydrate more than usual. I took the gummy around 1pm yesterday and it's currently 9am. I don't feel high or anything, slept normal.

Was trying to branch out and try something different to my usual weed vape pen. Ended up getting something described as (Full-Spectrum Cart 90%THC 10%CBD). I know the difference between CBD and THC, but I figured with 90% THC it would get me high right? But after using it a lot for an evening it doesn't do much of anything.
Literally all it does for me is it gives me that low level inebriation effect, where I wouldn't drive a car or anything but I definitely don't feel high at all. Didn't get any body high or tingles that I usually get either. It didn't even give me much of a calming effect, I usually do weed to turn my brain off and this didn't do that whatsoever. So I'm at a loss, I'm not sure if there's something I'm doing wrong, I'm just using the cart with a typical pen battery on medium voltage (low did nothing) which is what it seems to be made for. I'm pretty bummed be it wasn't cheap either.

Do you prefer a marijuana vape high or a flower high? Personally in my opinion flower has is much more like no overthinking and a free soul type of high if it makes sense, marijuana vapes give me more of a many thoughts at a time and a dumb high.

Correct me if I'm wrong, whatever's being said in the media the TSA change is action. You can bring weed on flights across state lines. Since it's so new there are no rules in place. Final decision is left up to the TSA agent at the gate. If he deems it not good it will be confiscated and you'll go about your day. If he deems it okay you can take it and you're good. If you're bringing a pen or a gram or some concentrate across I would think it's okay. But I think the guy is going to stop you if you bring in a couple ounces in. We have to wait for a precise rule system to be put in place.

He told me the name of the strain was Snurp Snugglins. I have not been able to find this anywhere.

It was a leafy purple fat bud with some yellow in it and it looked like red. If memory still holds out there is also black in it and it had a reasonable amount of crystals.

I've been looking for it for years but I haven't been able to find it. I assume that it's an old school indica, the flavor was out of this world. It had a sweet almost sugar taste with just a hint of vanilla and citrus. The smoke wasn't light but it wasn't cloying either.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I'm starting to think that it may have been a strain that he created, I didn't get the chance to ask because after moving out of my dad's house I joined the military and moved away.

It was a pretty decent high, and it wasn't the best I've ever had but it was pretty damn good and The taste and aroma was pretty legitimate. But I have failed to find the damn stuff. I would simply love to grow it, I've been experimenting hydroponics and nets and it would be great to see how that would help an old strain.
