Nah. I work in a dispo. I’d say about half of us know what we’re talking about. There’s an actual science for people that care to learn, but even most customers eyes glaze over when I try to tell them that this 65% THC 15% Terpene oil pen is gonna give them a better quality high than the 96% THC flavored one. Or that just because THC number is higher, doesn’t mean you’ll get higher.
What specifically should I look for in a weed pen if I want to get high as fuck?
Live rosin is going to be the highest quality of oil you will find in a pen/cartridge. This is solvent-less, meaning no chemicals were used to extract, only heat and pressure. Live Resin is the next best. With either option, look for terpenes over 10%. This will typically be accompanied by lower THC% but worry not, THC is not everything.
Terpenes are the “chemicals” (naturally occurring) that 1. Give weed it’s flavor and smell, and 2. Guide your high along with the THC. Different terpenes will give slightly different effects. These are what determine if a strain is a sleepier one or more energetic one. These usually follow the Indica/Sativa “rules” of Indica generally being sleepier and sativa generally being energy but not always. Anyway, higher terpenes will give a stronger and more pronounced high. And different terpenes give different feelings.
So, look for Live Resin or Live Rosin, with high terpenes. Keep in mind rosin is a bit stinkier and less discreet if you’re trying to keep it unknown. Avoid distillate carts, or oens with over 90% THC, these may give a fast head rush, but drive up your tolerance without giving any long lasting high.
This is the info I was looking for thankyou!!
Baha hahahaha yeah that'd do it
Okay, but how do I get higher without just feeling bad?
What’s the goal? Just to be absolutely blasted? Pain relief? What’s the feeling bad? Headache? Foggy? Drowsy?
I wanna get zooted.
Depending on where you are, different products are available. I work in Oregon, so that’s my product knowledge. I would say if you can get it try some “nanotech” edibles/liquids. The ones I sell are called “Cannabull” and are a high concentrate syrup you can drink directly. The nanotech tends to hit fast and hard, more so than your typical edibles, and they come in small 2 oz bottles in 250mg or 500mg, and a larger 4 or 5 oz bottle that is 1000mg. They are pricier, but you’re getting a lot of THC.
Then there’s RSO or Rick Simpson Oil. This is a high concentrate edible paste. It comes in small plastic syringes for dosing and is typically more of a medicinal product but it will fuck you up. It tastes bitter and consuming an entire syringe won’t taste good but should send you. These are typically cheaper.
If you want standard edibles look for “Solventless” “Live Rosin” as these will be the highest quality oil going into the edibles. These will typically taste good compared to other edible options like RSO. Packages in Oregon are capped for solid edibles at 100mg but many states allow huge single piece edible sales, but avoid cheap products. Avoid distillate.
For a cartridge, I’d recommend again looking for solventless and/or live rosin. Look for a high terpene % And make sure the date is recent. The stability of the higher quality oil for carts isn’t as good as your cheap ones, so you want a cart made in the last couple months. With dab pens, always hit it on the lowest temperature setting possible and try not to take long hits, as both of these will lessen the quality of the oil as you smoke it.
Then there’s dabs. I sound like a broken record but your best and strongest high will be with live rosin products. Typically will be smellier and more brown in color compared to live resin. Diamonds are also a good option, these are pure THC crystals with low terpenes. This hits hard and fast with a typcial head rush, but not as long lasting. With all dabs, the lower temp the better, you can look up what terpenes vaporise the best at different temps but generally I just let my banger cool at least as long as I heated it. (If you’re using an E rig you can look up ideal low temp settings).
Flower can still get you there but it’s less consistent once your tolerance is high. I have heard great things about dry herb vapes for the flower option. Overall though, if you’re not getting as high anymore and smoking more, the best thing is a T break (tolerance break). Even just one week with 0 THC can really make a difference, even if it’s only for a day or two.
Hope something here can help!
Dude, I appreciate you.
