what do you smoke and why? Is it safer to smoke regular weed than high quality weed. I usually smoke regular m39 ( canada) and I would like to try new stuff!
 
I almost exclusively smoke quality buds, mostly ones that are high sativa's. Not sure if one is "safer" than the other to be honest.

Can't stand cheap weed, barely gets me high whenever I do smoke it.
 
it would be more safe to smoke higher quality cannabis as you are consuming less plant matter for the same or better high. Probably not really much of a difference though. I used to only smoke the highest quality but really if you can get low quality stuff for a lot cheaper it's probably worth getting. Sometimes shitty cannabis has a better thc:cbd ratio so the high is better for those who get paranoid.
 
I've been smoking loud regularly for the past couple months, but only because midgrade's fallen off the map around here lately.

I would much rather smoke the reggie that I'm used to and pay 25% the price for 300-400% more weed. That's just my opinion, though.


As it is, I just grab about a quarter of high-grade and chop it up in a 3:1 (weed:tobacco) blend to try and stretch my stash a bit longer throughout the week. I'd really like to stop doing that, though.... :(

When I used to smoke pot regularly I would mainly smoke only high quality herb so I'd have to smoke less of it to get super high. I would smoke schwag or mid-grade and did for years before I had access to high quality stuff. Eventually the high quality stuff was so common that schwag or mid-grade was not nearly as available as it once was in the 90s when I started smoking. I enjoy high quality herb for smoking/vaporizing but I would never make edibles with it.

Nowadays I just vaporize at rare times, and I use excellent herb.
 
I love all weed from headies to reggies. BUT I would much rather smoke reggies because of how cheap it is. Also, I do not gain any tolerance to cannabis. Idk why, have been smoking daily for years and 2-4 hits of reggie outta my bong gets me high as fuck. Kinda nice actually, save money. Although I love the taste of headies. If Medical Marijuana gets passed in New York this year I would only smoke top shelf, I REALLY wanna try the strain Girl Scout Cookies and some cotton candy strain. They look DELICIOUS.

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you, Priest? I'm thinking that my generation (the weed heads, at least) tends to shun away from midgrade/reggie and lean towards the more expensive, higher quality bud once we all hit our own respective early 20's.

I only ask because this quote that I put up rings true for me, except midgrade fazed out of my circles/age-group in this area between 2010 and now, when we were all between 20-26 and had a decent income (legitimate or not).

Yeah, by the time I was a senior in high school, mids were shunned to hell... thus, dealers stopped stocking it, and went for the midgrade to high grade. High grade is everywhere now, while mids are pretty much gone unless you drive into the city or hood, and KB is hard to find.

kb was my shit in high school...omfg if you knew someone with headies...but its like wiz khalifa said.."Now I'm buyin weed on some grown shit
When I say grown I'm talkin bout the man who grows it"...its become underground mainstream...good bud is everywhere...and if you are a functioning pothead with a good job and a brand new car, why not buy they best herbals?
 
Used to smoke commercial grade a lot, but I now have some kind of perma-tolerance from smoking weed and spice so much. I'll go with quality. I find that once you remove all the stems and seeds and factor in the lower amount of trichomes, dank and schwage cost about the same. Although I'm not a weed snob and will smoke just about any weed. Better would be to get cheap quality weed=D.
 
Were im from, you dont come across real high quality buds very often. mostly just average stuff that is over priced. so when its cheap i lash out angle get like a QP. but price aside, as if you wouldn't want to smoke the good shit all the time?
 
I personally think that this question depends on your tolerance and smoking habits. Back in high school when I was smoking all day, every day I wanted the best deal b/c I was poor as... well, a high school student with a shitty job. Now a days a rarely smoke, so if I take more than one bonger of quality herb I'm going to feel something more akin to a 100ug acid trip... So sometimes its nice to buy some mids so I can actually finish a spliff 8) Also, the lower my tolerence the more my preference for sativas, as they dont make me feel like my body is blasting off into orbit.

That being said whenever I have any bit of a tolerance I want POTENCY. But today is not that day lol
 
i only smoke the quality stuff. it tastes/smells the best to me and the initial high is stronger for me. i also feel that its cleaner and lasts longer for me. i also dont have to smoke as near as much plant material compared to mid grade and lower quality cannabis.

i use to smoke lots of mid grade but i started to not feel it as much tolerance kicked in quickly. also the quality dropped dramatically and i wasnt a fan of that. at the peak of my mid grade smoking stage i started to notice that i was blacking out and getting dizzy everytime i stood up, i switched to quality stuff and it fixed my problem.

my tolerance also sky rocket'd, it takes quality quality stuff to get me high. if i was to smoke mids to get to where im use to id spend just as much as i do on dank dank at the moment.
 
as long as its not brick, theres not much difference in how good or bad weed smoke is for you

bricked schwag, on the other hand, has all sorts of nasty stuff in it...its been crushed, oftentimes using acetone or gasoline to compress the weed, and I have personally seen condoms, feathers, and all sorts of other stuff pulled out of brick weed

dont buy mexican
 
I only smoke the high grade now but when I was using daily I would mix mids with dank to help keep the cost down.
 
I prefer to smoke higher quality bud. I live in canada and smoke mostly kush. I believe cheaper weed is worse for your health because of all the stems, seeds, possibility of mold, etc. When i smoke dirt outdoors i notice more of a headache than an actual high.
 
for a while in my life i was only a quality snob, mid grade wouldnt even get me a high id smoke a hole 8th of mid grade and just starting to get a buzz. now i don't smoke nearly as much as i used too and my quality hook ups have disappeared. but i still look for quality midgrade if im going to purchase any at all. IMO tho its all about how much money you are willing to spend
 
I smoke what we in the UK call "mersh" its the lower leaves compressed into a block, so is cheap and has more CBD for a more mellow and imo more pleasant buzz, while I smoke skunk sometimes if I can't get mersh i generally get what we call grade or high grade, you get a lot less of stronger weed for your money but you still egt more CBD, they both feel closer to hash then skunk.

Cheap Vs Quality weed.

Safety:

Well the safety of any weed you buy can be altered by contaminants. People spray weed im sure you have heard of it.
The idea of high quality cannabis being more safe than cheaper is in the fact that if its more Potent then you can smoke less to get just as high, meaning you have smoked less in the first place.

However.

Some people struggle to 'handle' high doses of high potency cannabis, and this can be maybe not as good (I wouldn't say safety wise mind you, physically they should be fine) but they might have a bad experience.
