What is your primary use for cannabis? (feddit.nl)

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.

Oohh. Sounds like you need to get deeper, look at the specific terps and minor cannabinoids that you're getting. What strains have you been trying?

My favorites are blue cheese #23, Bordeaux and gg #4, but I've been hitting this strawberry wine x sour space glue vape. And sometimes the gorilla cake vape but that's just for flavor, it is delicious.

I'll have to look into some of those. The only one of those we regularly get in my market is GG4. It stars the big three terps: Caryophyllene, Myrcene, and Limonene. Look for more Myrcene, Linalool, Nerolidol, and Humulene heavy strains for sleep. Terpinoline can go either way, but does work well for sleep when paired with other sleepy terps. I avoid Limonene when I can help it. It tends to make me anxious and fuck with my sleep in large amounts, but it's in fucking everything -_-

All good info. That gorilla cake is super high in linalool and I love it, just unfortunate it's so low in thc. Or maybe not, it tastes too good and I'd get blasted lol

I stick to the type 2 stuff, just order it online.

Oh I'm jealous. I would love some type 2 flowers, but nobody in the Missouri rec market is growing any. I try to keep abreast of local and regional companies and can't afford to get both new local flowers AND order type 2 flowers online. I will continue to harass every grower and higher up I come across for type 2, though.

How much is it locally? It's $10 a gram online but gets cheaper the more you buy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

About the same, depending on brand. But I get a good discount on anything we sell at work. It lets me afford better flowers than we otherwise could. As much weed as we go through, that discount is an important part of our budget and my compensation. I also just discovered that I can put a pinch of CBD isolate into the Volcano with some fresh flowers! That's a game changer!

Ah ok you work at a dispo that makes sense. Yeah man throw cbd in with the type 1! I haven't done it but it's a good way to get that level high so I've heard.

How much weed do you go through? I guess I'm a pretty light user I don't think I've gone through an ounce in 6 months. But I use a dry herb vape and for whatever reason getting high is intimidating. Wasn't always that way but it is now so weird.

Well it was an especially stoned weekend celebrating my anniversary, but we just finished off a half ounce of Sherb Hog at ~24% THC and 1.7% terps that I picked up last Friday. If anything, my wife is a heavier stoner than me.
