Hello People,

I smoke everyday 2 to 3 times. Currently I smoke out a water bubbler, spoon pipe or a one hitter. I have interest in making edibles, but I have zero experience. My green is super dank, and my tolerance is fairly high at this point.

Will switching Route of Administration lower my tolerance. I also lose a lot of my valuable chronic in the bubbler.

I need your opinions and advice..

Personally I don't think it will lower your tolerance. Some people say eating it is stronger than smoking, but I tend to disagree for the most part. IME, eating is just harder to regulate the dose and easier to get uncomfortably high.

If you make your own edibles make sure to decarb first. I'm pretty sure something like placing ground weed in the oven for 25 minutes at 250F will do the trick with minimal loss or burning. make sure you are watching actual temps and not just the oven setting though.

With edibles, always dose smaller and wait at least 1 hour, 2 hours is better, before redosing until you figure out your dose.
 
Before I quit altogether I was using a cannabis inhaler. Delivers a fine mist of aerosolized concentrate. Not a vape or smoking device. Works and looks like an asthma can. Super discrete, can use it in in front of cops without suspicion. Available with a medical MJ license in California but not sure about other states. A bit harsh but works well.
 
IME, vapes, bongs, edibles, concentrates will raise your tolerance higher than a bubbler or a one hitter.

maybe switching to joints will lower your tolerance to THC since they're known to deliver the least amount of cannabinoids and such since they burn at such a high temp.

^This is true IME as well. If you plan to get high the same amount, don't count on your tolerance dropping.


Edibles are much more efficient IME however. I have grown for 3 years and experimented on about 40 batches of edibles. My personal favorite is Green Dragon (THC-infused liquor) which I have a killer recipe for.. PM me if you are interested. If you are really looking to reduce your consumption, invest in a vape. IMO a nice vaporizer is the ultimate way to minimize consumption.



Here is some edible making advice:

If you like uplifting-type highs: decarb your weed for 5 minutes (on top oven rack, in metal tray) at 325F. This method converts some THC to CBD and makes it more of an active high.

If you like more powerful couch-lock highs: decarb your weed for 30 minutes at (240F). Activates all THC but does not convert any to CBD.


If you are using oil or butter:
Take your decarboxylated weed and add in oil (coconut oil is best IMO) such that it has an approximate oatmeal consistency. Then add an equal amount of water. This prevents the oil from taking on a plant flavor and makes the coconut oil remain basically white without tasting like weed. Cook on low for 30 minutes and then strain. Put the oil/water mixture into the fridge until it separates and the oil is solidified. Then pour out the water and save the oil. Voila!
 
A good way to, temporarily reduce tolerance,e and make you weed more effective, is to not smoke before the afternoon.Your body frees itself of cannabinoids from the previous evening, and lends itself for a much more noticeable high.A few days of not smoking and the effects are magnified even further.Try to self govern your tolerance levels, and you will have more fun with your weed.

I'm sorry but that's not how that works. THC does not convert into CBD or vice versa. It can convert into CBN but CBD is structurally different.
 
I was smoking so much it just wasn't sustainable n I wasn't feeling how I wanted to feel. Now instead of smoking when I wake up, I'll wait until 3-5 pm most days now. Boom. saves me so much $ & I don't have to smoke as much in afternoon when I do smoke. Actually enjoy the high as well. Idea might sound tough at first (was always wake n baker) but like anything just have to get used to it & more likely than not you'll b glad u did.
 
You can all ways make some wax and take dabs but you will need different peace, and get quit a bit of good trim with plenty of trichomes showing on it. some bubble bags for ice water method, or high quality butane using a pcv pipe and coffee filter have a cap on one side with a little hole to spray the butane through the pvc pipe that has the trim it and put like two coffee filters around the bottem of pipe duck tape coffee filters to the side of pipe leaving jest the filters on the bottem, use a few butane cans spraying through the pipe and out of the bottem filter it will drain the liquid in a glass cooking pan with wax paper in it, so have that ready, wax paper so it wont stick to glass, and then put on the electric stove top no flame with very low heat to bubble off the butane for a 30 min or longer, then let the wax air out on like a heating pad letting the rest of the butane evaporate, oil will come off the wax paper easy, all ways can try it but you should wait till the next day, you can also use a glass jar with little hole in top of jar to spray butane into jar with trim in it spray it good and shake it remove lid and drain throw coffee filter to the glass cooking pan on the wax paper, you can do it right on the wax paper but be careful. all ways use gloves and do it outside in open air not around any kind of flame unless you want to blow you hands off. then you got a crap load of honey oil, ear wax, fullmelt what ever you want to call it.

^^ How can I not be interested in this Green Dragon? #weedporn

I like all weed highs.

Does anyone have a MFLB or Pax Vaporizer?

xoxoxox

PS I suck at posting and commenting on bluelight, it confuses me. I'm not super dumb, maybe it's the smoke.
 
So smoking from a joint releases more THC. I learn something new every hour.

My plan is to experiment with (In This Order) Joint, Edibles, Vape

I'lll just post the recipe here so everyone can benefit.

Here it is:

1. Acquire 75.5% alcohol at minimum (everclear or 151)

2. Acquire good weed (4 grams minimum) or high quality trimmings (I definitely recommend getting trimmings as its cheapest and most efficient)

3. Grind up weed or trimmings finely and decarb at your preferred temperature and time
3a) For a more uplifting and active high (I prefer this one) decarb at 325F for 5 minutes on top oven rack on metal tray.
3b) For a more sedating and powerful couch-lock high (stronger, my friend prefers this one) decarb at 240F for 30-40 minutes on top rack with metal tray.

4. Take your decarbed weed or trimmings and put into 8 oz mason jar(s) (must this size and brand otherwise you risk having it shatter). Add alcohol to jar(s) accordingly:
4a) If using trim, the alcohol should cover the trimmings, but just barely above it.
4b) If using bud, the ratio should be 2 oz of alcohol per gram of bud.
(note on step 4: if using a larger amount than will fit into one 8 oz mason jar, DO NOT put in a larger jar because it will likely shatter from the heat. Distribute into as many 8 oz mason jars as needed, but don't use anything else!!

5. Take your mason jar(s) with alcohol/trim or alcohol/bud mixture and put them into a pot of water (the water should be as high as the liquid line on the mason jars). Turn the burner onto 5 and pay close attention (do not leave this alone). Stir constantly. The liquor will evaporate/boil very quickly. Whenever you see the liquor evaporating, remove from the pot of boiling water with a potholder, and continue to stir until it cools down some (you don't want too much to evaporate). Keep stirring and removing and putting it back into the pot of boiling water based on if its evaporating/boiling for 25-35 minutes.

6. Strain using cheesecloth or other fine strainer.

7. Ingest the green/black liquid accordingly:
7a) If you used high quality trim, the appropriate dose is 3-5 mL for a less-than-daily weed consumer and 10-12 mL for someone who smokes a lot every day.
7b) If you used bud, you can determine your dose volumetrically based on how much bud went into and how much liquid is left. 10-15 mL is usually perfect for me.

8. Enjoy the killer high! Also give me some feedback if anyone else tries this.
 
Good God, the recipe sounds Ahhmmazzing. I cook really well, how about we barter.

But really, how can I NOT make Green Dragon. My state is green aphobic, so it complicates matters, however; I do not try, I only do.
 
I wrote you a private message. Your box is full.

Buy a bombilla (traditional south African straw with an are for loose leaf tea at the bottom, cheap as fuck). Fill it with pot and drink some hot ass whole milk through it with vanilla extract and spices like cinnamon or allspice, almond extract (alcohol in it helps even more!). Then drink the milk once it cools just a bit. The marijuana stuffed end of the straw will cool down the milk a bit. Refill your cup with more hot milk and spices for a tasty second cup!
 
IMO orally consumed cannabis has always taken on the effect of being a hallucinogen, with some pretty strong psychedelic aspects (compared to smoking weed, anyway) I think it has something to do with a different THC metabolite being present at higher concentrations when one eats an edible (11 Hydroxy-THC, I believe).
