The variety is amazing. One has many choices—Sativa, Indica, Hybrids with levels of THC clearly marked on the menus. Flower, pre-rolls, edibles, concentrates, etc. No more trying to make a connection with sketchy unreliable dealers. All above board. I never thought I’d see the day, but here it is—in multiple cities and towns with more stores opening all the time.
Legal in your state, yes, but as long as pot remains on Sched 1 it's not really legal anywhere and the Feds can come in and shut the whole operation down. Beyond its being simply idiotic to be on there, it's a big deal on a bunch of different levels to get it off Sched 1.
"I never thought I’d see the day, but here it is—in multiple cities and towns with more stores opening all the time." I actually thought back in early 70s (I never smoked before then) that it would be legal in a couple/few years, but that sure as hell didn't happen. Then again, I didn't know the Feds had an agenda with it, or that so many other businesses wanted no part of the competition it brought with legalization. Even most of us "pot heads" just felt as if this plant had a whole lot more to offer than just catching a buzz from it. The research being done on it now proves us all right.
I'm not an Indica guy either but I must say the Indica-Sativa hybrids are really nice....you sure as hell don't have to live in a "legal" state to get everything the shops in those places have to offer. Still a whole lot of tax dollars go uncollected here in NY. Seems to be too difficult for them to figure out how to put the whole deal in motion. Meanwhile, the black market boys have got it all figured out...supply, demand, sales, all booming...or just business as usual actually.

Been rolling with Orange Crush for the past month and its delightful.
The Pink Candy I got at the same time was supposed to be solid Sativa but I could feel the indica.

Has anyone noticed a difference in the type of high you get related to the THC level? It seems like the highest THC level I can get with flower is mid 20s and the lowest is low to mid teens. It’s legal in my state so I can shop very specifically. Does it follow that the more THC makes for a more intense high? I usually smoke sativa and if no sativa is available I’ll get a hybrid but I don’t typically like Indica.

Hey DMac, moving closer in NYS to getting the Wacky Weedus (see the Roman Empire in History of the World Pt 1)

Yup, Andy figures he's losing $300 mil/yr in uncollected taxes so now it's genius to legalize it rather than criminalize it. He (they) has only been told that for decades, and they knew all along how big the market is, by people like me but it's taken them this long to finally see the light. As I've said a few times, I really don't care, availability has never been a problem so not much of anything will change for most of us with legalization and the quality is no better in the legal shop than it is on the streets. This nonsense about products not crossing boarders is just ridiculous gibberish too, the same stuff is everywhere and has been for a long time.

Angus, if you live in a legal state grab yourself some edibles and eat 50 mgs. If that's not the buzz you're looking for, I'll be surprised. I don't know what you're getting where you live, but here in the illegal state I don't want more than one or two hits of what we get. I don't know what the THC level is but it's plenty enough, that's for damn sure.

It’s still better to be legal all things equal even if everyone can get it whenever. Just good policy too.

Wholeheartedly agree, never should have been illegal to begin with.

Thanks DMac. Interesting suggestion. I may just try that and see what the effect is.

I don't quite get 50mgs. That's a lot IMO. Not for me, I'm a professional and decent sized, but my wife tried 20mgs of gummies, two tens about 45 min apart, we got at a dispensary in Oakland over like an hour or so around two years ago and she was barfing all over the movie theater (we walked from hotel to Jack London Square and she was already getting dizzy, I had smoked three of the pre rolled joints personally, but all that did was make me buy $35 worth of candy and drinks at the movie theater only to come back to the seat and see a sea of vomit and her bent over with the people around thinking she had SARS.

Also one can accelerate the removal of THC from the body with exercise. Can dissipate faster with increased lung usage and more blood flow.

I wholeheartedly agree. I’ve experienced both and legal is so much more convenient. There’s something about knowing the weed is always there rather than hoping for a connection.

Boy, that's pretty interesting, Ffg. I've mentioned before, I'm not drugs guy, never even experimented with them once ('cept for coke, did one line once for medicinal purposes and it worked like a champ...was still too drunk/hungover to make it to work....many years ago...instant cure, pretty amazing). I'm one of few Vietnam vets you'll ever "talk" to who never touched a joint during their tour and it was plentiful to say the least. Point is, I dipped my toe in lightly with edibles and was leery of them until not all that long ago (I don't like the unknown when it comes to such things) and I'd be considered a lightweight in comparison to many/most. Your wife actually did 40 mg and I'm very surprised it affected her the way it did....stuff just affects people differently I guess, like me with liquor (can't touch it). 50 mgs is a pretty light buzz, and I must say, pretty nice. If I ever smoked three joints (at one time) of the pot that's out there today, I'd be in the fetal position shaking. One or two hits will do me just fine. Don't know what you were smoking but to smoke three joints and be barely affected doesn't sound like very good quality to me.

Angus, I know you're a sativa guy, not much for the indica. I'm the same, the 50 mgs feels like a nice sativa buzz, doesn't knock you on your asz and make you paranoid (unless your name is Mrs. Ffg, I guess ;) )

Now I'm ashamed to admit that it wasn't weak stuff, actually some indoor hydroponic strain with crystals you can see, but it speaks more to me...I'd love to say I've never been a drug guy but best I can say is I've never touched a needle or synthetic stuff like Acid/LSD (bleeding down the spine has me terrified of that) but between being a quasi hippy (combined with meathead football player) in HS and then going to a place like Hobart which has a lot of solid but mid tier high end boarding school kids who wanted to go to Bowdoin, Middlebury, Wesleyan or Brown and Bart was their fallback option I sure learned a ton about "skiing" in college. Started out when I began helping, as a friend out of concern he was going to fail out, a stoner friend who's family was related to Fred Smith (his father was a long time soccer coach at Williams College) who would sell his ritalin prescription to a a rich girl just because he could, but eventually started just giving it to me for helping him graduate. Suddenly I figured out a "method" to party 4+ nights a week and still get my work done that involved manipulation of said pill into another form. Then when all your wealthy buddies are doing the graduate program version of that it becomes an easy, if expensive for a lower middle class upstate NY kid, to matriculate up to the big boy stuff. And you're correct, it works very well, until you don't realize you've done too much too late at night and can't sleep and cant focus on the work anymore - you go wayyyy past optimal if it's done outside of in conjunction with being drunk.

It's coming back to haunt me now as in literally I am dealing with consequences, at least in part, due to some past behavior that extended well past college. This is all exacerbated by the fact that I have a strain of that WNY type in my dad's family, all built like something between Rob Gronkowski and George the Animal Steele and most die from stupid stuff later (infected sliver foot from 50s killed my grandfather in 2005 but a quadruple heart attack he didnt' even stop pruing a pear tree in 1976 which the doctors later told him meant his heart only had 10yrs left) in life but survived heart attacks and strokes like they were bug bites.

Edibles experiment

Post by Angus »

Ok DMac and Farfromgeneva--I'm trying a little experiment today so I thought I'd let you in on it since you both weighed in after my last question. The nice lady at the dispensary recommended that I eat something and then take a 5mg Cheeba Chews Chocolate Taffy block. (It's sativa, of course.) She explained something a bit technical which involved how the edible interacted with an empty stomach as opposed to a stomach with food in it. Went right over my head but I decided to try it. So, after finishing some spaghetti and meat sauce for lunch I chewed 2 blocks (11:45am). We'll see what happens. One thing for sure, it's a whole lot less work to pop a couple of blocks of taffy in my mouth and chew rather than the whole production with a pipe and screen changing and breaking up/cleaning the weed, the effect in the lungs and the smell reaching my landlord and on and on. We'll see what the buzz is like. Clicking "submit" at 12:19 and feel the slightest bit of change coming on but the nice lady at the dispensary said it took about an hour to kick in. I'll let yiz know...

10 mg is light and the right way to go about your experiment, IMO.
Do let us know what you think, full/empty stomach definitely makes
a difference just as it does in how quickly alcohol will affect you.

Not bad so far, 2 hrs in. Watching the replay of the Bucs win. Seeing a lot more nuances, but that's pretty common. Glad it's an element of the eddi high. The more often than not libido maintenance element of cannabis isn't present, which is good. Rather spend time on the creative, observing nuance stuff.

That's what my thinking was--I was gonna take it on an empty stomach to get a better high. But the dispense lady said I'd get a better high if I chewed on a full stomach. Counter-intuitive but, that's what she said. Maybe next time I'll try on an empty. What's your preference when eddin?

Don't be afraid to up it to 20 mg which is still pretty light and won't knock you on your asz.
50 mg, from my experience, is a pretty nice and safe level and I'm considered a puzzy and
lightweight by plenty. Up it gradually, you'll find your comfort level without hurting yourself.
