The best kind of tree

Lighter/torch for the topper.

Missed opportunity :(

Wow, that's exactly like my christmas tree, except my jars are empty, and were they full I'd be spending the next ten christmases in prison! Because we are a sane modern western nation with sound priorities!

God damned it I don't know how people stand living here without doing drugs.. In fact, what the hell am I even doing here? I'll just take my degree and my money and my business and move some place sane. I'm sure the continuous brain drain will eventually leave this country the backwards shithole it actively aims to be, everybody wins.

To think we were once among the most progressive countries in the world... Then came the conservatives and made everything "cheaper and more efficient", by which they seem to have meant more expensive and barely functional on a third world country level, because that's what we got. Maybe they weren't cheap and efficient enough!

I'm so happy everyone on the planet seems to vote conservative now, the amount of cheap effectivization is sure to solve rather than exacerbate all our problems.

God damn it, I'm about to take a brick to a downtown storefront window, but it won't really do much on my own.

FYI, light degrades THC into CBN.

Not to worry! They are all kept in a nearby closet, they were just out for a photo op :)

I smoke what residue I can scrape out of my pipe, while this guy's weed is out doing modeling jobs..

Looks like you have enough for the apocalypse. That would last me years.

[–] Alteon 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah. I bought a 5x5 tent because I wanted to make sure I had enough between grows.....fucking hell, I still haven't even finished half of the shit and that was over a year ago. Then again, I make edibles with it, and that shit not only hits harder, it's better for you and your shit lasts sooooooooooo much longer.

I started growing during the lockdown. This picture is from two years ago and I still have a lot of it lol

I wish edibles worked on me. My metabolism breaks it down too fast or something. I have gone through most of a pan of pot brownies so strong you could smell the green from a distance with no effect.

[–] Alteon 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The weed was likely not decarbed correctly. My buddy said the same shit to me. He says he's smoked several times and tried edibles....I bring over some gummies and gave him a small handful, my dude was passing fucking Pluto in about an hour. (I don't think he knows how to inhale correctly for one, and I doubt he actually had good edibles, but I digress)

Decarbing has to be done right, and it's better to let the weed get infused into something with a fat content, like butter, ghee, or oil (as THC is fat soluble). It'll also make sure that every bit of your infused food is fully saturated with THC evenly, no pockets of flower all bunched up somewhere.

If you can get your hands on a few oz. I HIGHLY recommend you make infused safflower oil as it's super stable, flavorless, and goes great in almost every recipe. You can technically cook with it as well or infuse it it with other things for flavor (infused chili oil is that shit btw). The THC you ingest gets processed differently in your body than when inhaled which is why it takes so long. It goes through your liver, and is processed into a form that is 11x more potent than when you smoke it. I use my infused oil to make my own gummies (so I know how much to dose, and they look fucking fantastic when done.

Sorry for the insane rambling, but let me.know if you.have any questions.

I wish, but that particular batch of brownies was made with ganja butter by a professional chef who’s practically a professional pothead who had a few brownies and was high as a kite, while I’m basically the designated chaperone.

I’ve also been gifted edibles constantly, have tried ganja butters, tinctures and extracts from the dispensary. Nothing. It’s just all green tasting treats for me. It’s the same with alcohol, except I do manage to get drunk for a short time but it processes through really fast. A cursed blessing.

And I keep trying them, because it certainly would make traveling and dosing before dealing with clients easier, but I always have to eventually resort to smoking it, which takes effect almost immediately.

Edibles don't affect a lot of people. Had nothing to do with how it's made. I've eaten 2G of gummies to the face no effect whatsoever.

[–] Alteon 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If not decarbed correcly, or if over cooked you can destroy the THC content and end up with sugar product. How it's made can absolutely affect THC content.

[–] schmidtster 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There is also people who legitimately are not affected by digesting cannabis as well.

[–] Alteon 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I had to read up about it. That really sucks.
