Basically what it says on the can: why do you use weed? Are you a purely recreational user? Do you use for medical purposes, with or without a prescription? Do you use for a mental health condition? We're all probably some blend of these. What's your use case?

Personally, I do use cannabis medicinally to help me sleep. Neither weed nor melatonin cuts it alone, but weed and quick dissolve melatonin is just the right thing. I also use for recreational purposes. It's just fun to do things stoned. I also use heavily for religious/spiritual reasons. I'm a Discordian, and keeping a flexible mind full of doubt is important to that. Weed is helpful in resisting the siren call of comforting certainty. As a casual psychedelic, it keeps me thinking in interesting ways.

I guess I could mention that I almost never use THC during the day. Getting high for too long or on and off through the day messes with my head. I like some CBG on work days or when I have things to do, but thc is almost exclusively a nighttime affair, especially as the nights grow long for winter.

I've been curious about CBG. I got my friend a CBG pre roll and he said it made him anxious, guessing he smoked too much of it. But the dude used to fuck with meth so I was surprised.

Idk about CBG flowers. There are, in theory, flowers that are naturally high in CBG. But it could also have been hemp flower sprayed with CBG in a carrier. It's a powder when isolated, so idk how they get it onto flowers in any sort of regular distribution. Either way, I prefer mine in isolate edible form. I get it by the jar (from HC8 the last few times) and fill capsules. It's honestly a huge deal for my ADHD. I'm ridiculously sharp with some CBG in me.

Oh nice I'll check out the edibles. And no it was Circles strain from a trusted vendor, no spray.

Was it an online vendor? I'd be interested in proper CBG flowers, but I'd have to basically start my research from zero, so I just put a little isolate in my bowls when I want the blend xd

Good ol flow gardens. Yeah they grow a strain called Circles that is CBG dominant. Pretty cool stuff.
