re: Medical Marijuana Thread

@Moar and CCTider, are you guys sick of the social media trolls/fights that seem to have taken over the grow culture?

I see nothing but memes and arguments about all the aspects of cultivation. When in reality, the real growers are growing and can't be bothered by all that nonsense.

Annoying

Literally since the days of overgrow dot com. Now we have full blown social media and states where people are safe. It surprises me none, but sad to hear it still continues or actually increased.

Absolutely. I've seen online arguments drive away some really great/educated posters. Almost as many as LEO has taken

Despite the fact i tote guns and do other stereotypical drug dealer shite, still a huge nerd who enjoys the scientific aspect of it. Can't wait to be able to run weekly leave samples to 100% zone in and who eats how much and when. Soil/root zone microbiology has fascinated me since the first day i read about mycorrhiza. But really i just get off on leaving people squinty eyed af saying "damn, you did this?" If you grow too, awesome. If you do it well, cool, lets swap out some work or clones. Nothing in your grow room is affecting what I'm doing in mine. Unfortunately illegality and even legality brought out the LCD's. I don't want big agra too involved though, so it's kind of a catch-22 in the cast of characters.

I just twist up a sweet, crank up the music, and to e'rebody.

Don't get me wrong, nothing will beat a night with a nice glass bowl, but damn, once you build up a tolerance, grass doesn't do it and I don't enjoy continuous loading of bowls.

I can get my $8 battery and put a 500mg cartridge on there and be feeling good with 2-5 drags.

Half oz of popcorn here is $150, I get it for $130 w discount. But, I can pay $35-50/500mg and get a couple cartridges when I go. ($50 for live and $35 for CO2 extract)

It's very regulated here and with limited supply and high demand, the products really never change and don't see much discount. I think I waited like 90 days for my card and you can only visit one dispensary and can only change by emailing the state.

I'm not one who sits on arse and eats chips. I'm sure you're probably joking, but I enjoy what it does for me and has taken a lot of meds and alcohol away.

Depends on where you're at. Here in Illinois, the condition list is very small. Hard to get approved. It's not like you walk into a hippie doctor and pay for a diagnosis.

I left the military being on oxycodone and Oxycontin 3x per day. I hate pills and felt miserable. Most days I took the pain over the pills.

. I dislike the smell, the culture associated with it, and how it dulls people's minds

I don't mind the smell. I don't like some of the culture or how some of the names are ignorant. For example, "yes budtender, I'd like some grand doggy purps". That irks me a bit.

As for dulling minds, that's on the user. I have completed 20 hours of school during spring and summer intersssion. I have two kids, bills are fine, I volunteer with my kids sports (have a game tonight) and I do work from home. If someone is a retard, they will be a retard if they never change anything. Gotta stay focused.

I mean with you and other folks like you I'm willing to believe that it isn't just pure degeneracy and that this stuff helps you in ways we're just beginning to understand. It all needs more study.

I fit the degenerate billing, 0 fricks given. My body like yours, is littered with cannabinoid receptors everywhere, cb1's and cb2's. Either we were designed this way or we evolved to it because it was a desirable trait. Either way, don't care, it is what it is.

The culture is indeed questionable, but I'll disagree on the other points. The smell is fantastic. I love the variance in terpene and flavinoid profiles. As to the dulls the mind, Columbia university did a series of tests with putting puzzles together and things of that ilk. Basically only showed a ~10% increase in time to complete tasks. None were unable to complete tasks they performed sober vs being actively high. Not all test subjects were regular mj users either. Luckily life gave me a grandpa who was chief engineer of the 3rd stage of the saturn v, the saturn iv-b. He literally put mf'ers on the moon and our first manned space station into orbit. Other grandpa graduated Kenyon college at 19. Even while "dulled," I'm still doing pretty ok... as long as we aren't judging by where did i set my keys I also understand this is not normal, but it's the cards I was dealt. Had several customers finish grad school as smokers, a couple were ivy leaguers.

I also don't think that it's as safe as it's being sold, you're still inhaling particulate matter and that still causes cancer.

How much particulate matter would one be exposed to with edibles? Probably similar to how much I see with double water filtration. There are so many easily accessible everyday products that are infinitely worse for you, up to and including our water supply. But not mine, my water comes directly from the same aquifer nestle/zephyrhills get theirs. I shite in spring water

White Widow has been sparse. This saddens me.

Yes.

Not bad with this new G pen. They did bring it out recently, so limited strains. I usual get live resin 500mg cart with a $10 pen I have. This is live resin too, but limited strains w/ cartridges.

I like it better than CO2 or distillate cartridges.
