Conservation

[R(x)AGE]

this thread has been a long time coming, for atleast the past five years if not much longer I have frequently found myself thinking about better and more efficient ways to conserve and to use cannabis effectively. There is no free lunch, I have other expenses, ideally id like to smoke about 2-3gs a day however due to cost i try to limit myself to a g a day, but sometimes exceed that. I NEED to smoke cannabis. I also take other medications for my health, however I do not have legitimate access to medical cannabis but I always try to have some, because for me the stuff is priceless. I don't smoke joints. I only smoke from glass bong. I try to pack leaves on bottom to cover holes so if somehintg gets pulled before its burnt its the leaf, i pack fat tokes, i often consider buying a smaller bowl but i don't want to be smoking multiple tokes at a time. I currently smoke aprox every hour (one bong toke burnt with bic), if i make it 75 or 90 minutes without a toke im proud of myself but very much in need of relief.

So if anyone has any suggestions for me at all, im open to it. Please share your experience with me. I only know what I have experienced. What have you found to be more effective ways of increasing the efficiency of your cannabis use. Please don't tell me to cut back, that isn't an option, I smoke the least I can. WHAT CAN I DO BL!!!??

i kno u said not to say it but u cant actually think u can use less cannabis , without smoking less right ? maybe getting a job or something that worked really well for me (3 days ago ) already i dont need to smoke as much because my time is occupied during the day , and then i realise i can go without it pretty easily , and i have no access at this minute .

for me i basically get given my fix of buds every day , a few times a day by mates , then when i get paid i blow it and share it with them , same in return . what goes around comes around .

if ur psychological addiction is that bad u actually believe u cannot cut back from what ur smoking , see a proffesional . i understand that if u have some u gotta smoke it , usually im not even as good as u are when it comes to it , ill have a sesh every few hours , usually about 6-7 cones in a half an hour time span . and u try to have some all the time , maybe try not having some for a bit , or hold off buying it for as long as u can .

edit: i forgot to mention u could try vaporising or edibles ? i havent actually tried either before (besides some hash chocolate on LSD , and vaporising some bud in a lightbulb vape) but apparently theyre more efficient .

i bongs .

Try your hand at guerrilla growing, that way you can smoke all you want. Get in there before it's too late for this year though. Failing that use the above suggestions. Whilst with edibles you would need more more it lasts a lot longer. Maybe buy in bulk to save money.

I'm interested in the acetylation of cannabis which improves potency, although I suspect a lot of equipment would be required. I know of two people personally that have done it and it does increase potency by quite a bit. One of the two people put it in an e-cigarette for surreptitious 'smoking'. It worked really well.

thanks for the replies

@peacepipechief, I do have an occupation, however it demands me to smoke, without smoking I experience explosive fits, as well without cannabis I become tremendously depressed so there may be a psychological addiction, but its one of the good ones, like food, or if you're diabetic, insulin. Cannabis has an overall positive effect on my health IMO, I do agree with you about vaporization and I have been looking at them for years but have never bought one due to the cost and the fact i prefer extra bud. for about the past month or two i have been seriously considering investing in a vape, im looking at the arizer solo (~250$) which is half the cost of the cheapest volcano, and is portable, however my mind is not made up and I am seriously considering the analog volcano, but I am out of the house about 50% of the time so i need something sufficient.

@A E thanks for your reply, sincerely. unfortunately growing on some crown land or even my own is not an option or i would already, i cannot afford to get caught and face any penalty for this flower i use as a medicine to be able to function and create a future for myself I cannot throw away my future by growing some plants. I try to buy in bulk, however i should increase what i do buy IMO but i need to discuss this with the appropriate party and find the optimal allocation of resources. PLEASE explain this 'acetylation' to me, it would be incredibly valuable if it works and I would be forever greatful.

CHEEEEERS MATESSS

Get a vaporizer and use that. You don't need to get a volcano brand vape, there are some like the magic flight launch box that work with small amounts of herb, and get you very high and you get only THC. Or smoke out of a one hitter or small pipe. I know you said how you need to smoke daily but is there any way you could cut back and smoke on weekends, or use it just as needed but not on a daily basis? Other people posted how you should take a long tolerance break and that's a good thing to do.

Wow, this was made for me to reply to. I feel similarly about pot. Everyone is right, you need a vape but you also need to keep the bong at arms reach. I have found that if i swit h between my vape and my bong every few days i consistently get high like i did in high school! I smoke/vape roughly 2g a day and am satisfied. Also, vapor high lasts longer! Get an arizer extreme q. It isnt easily portable but the solo is crap, believe me i have done work with arizer. Go to their site and contact them, ask for wholesale priices for the q. You will see that they will be willing to sell a single vape at wholesale price (half price!) they do this because all of their resellers are advised to sell no cheaper than $300 per unit, but since shipping costs are by weight, why not sell single units half price? Great company to buy from. I highly advise it (but not the solo) You can keep the used up bud from the vape in a mason jar and when you are running low, kick the heat up a notch and watch billows of vapor from bud you already got high from!! This shit has saved me, my friends and family during harsh pot droughts. You say you live on or near crown land... Canada? If so dont be so paranoid. If you are smart and read up about guerilla growing you can without a doubt set things up so if god forbid you got nabbed, a half-assed yellow pages lawyer could have you cleared fast! It is worth it! SO... Stop combusting so much and get a vape, start growing your own shit and seriously listen to me about switching between vape and smoke!

Smoke 0.1g for the first session, and 0.1-0.15g in increasing amounts for the rest of the sessions of the day, assuming you have top-notch weed, only smoke out of bongs, always wait 2 hours from your last session to smoke again, limit yourself to 5 sessions a day, take occasional half-day/one-day tolerance breaks, and corner your bowls with the absolute least heat possible because some people straight up torch their bowls.

I NEED to smoke cannabis.

Right man not to derail but...

@peacepipechief, I do have an occupation, however it demands me to smoke, without smoking I experience explosive fits, as well without cannabis I become tremendously depressed so there may be a psychological addiction, but its one of the good ones, like food, or if you're diabetic, insulin.

An addiction is an addiction is an addiction. You don't NEED to smoke, you want to. I certainly got explosive fits of rage without my daily rails / shots of dope - it made me feel better and cope with shit around me, and I felt like I needed it... Hell, I was even scripted oxymorphone / oxycodone.... but obviously, this was not the case.

more on topic:

I suggest you take a TOLERANCE break. If you can't manage this, you may have a more serious problem on your hands then being able to afford 2 grams a day. After just a few days you'd be surprised how little you need to get high. Try a one-hitter. Or pack a nice gram bong pack and chill on that all day - taking a hit every couple hours or whenever you want. Worked well for me whenever I ran out. Good luck!

 

[OLD.GREGGGGG]

Make a glass Grav bong. Use tiny little pieces of some nice bud. Get 1 huge rip that gets me high for an extended period. I can make a gram last 2 days. its rather easy.

- a tolerance break will help.
- dont put a full gram in the bowl and sit on it all day, the ash build up will make each hit taste worse than the last.
-Instead break the gram up into tiny pieces and use each tiny piece as a single hit. You dont need a lot of weed for a big/thick hit.

* Buy a vape, so that you consume less weed over time. The Extreme Q is an excellent device, particularly at the prices it can be had for. You don't need to contact Airizer or anything to get them cheap, either. They sell them on amazon, at great prices.
* Lower the cost of your weed - start growing your own, or make friends with someone who grows and will give you a discount. Also - I assume you buy your weed an ounce at a time? If not, you should be. Prices are much better by the ounce.
* Consider reducing the amount of weed you smoke when this is possible, with the goal of reducing tolerance (and also of course saving money on weed).

To me it seems like he has absolutely nooo tolerance at all if he gets high from one "bong toke" every hour.... for me when i had my worst tolerance i would go through roughly a half ounce a day to my self even when i was occupied by school and sometimes work. to be honest the vaporizer sounds best in your case. If one hit from a bong per hour gets you to where you wanna be then one hit from a vape will DEFINITELY get you higher than that and will conserve weed. not even going to repeat the cut back statement.. been said enough here

thanks for all the replies.

why does the solo suck? any reasons?
and im not interested in the extreme q.
I am also not interested in the MFLB.

I am now looking at the "ThermoVape" it is portable and I am very interested.
any feedback about this vape? I might go tonight to look for one but idk.

Edit:
turns out this thermovape is quite hard to find in my neck of the woods. however it does seem to be avail in cali usa, so at the moment I am looking at vapes, im looking for the highest possible vapor quality, I could get a stationary one i guesssss. im looking at the volcano but its pricey, and im considering the extreme q or vtower but i am familiar with these and i have seen the glass insides break frequently, i dont want that to happen. i like the arizer solo though, please explain why it might be crap? as for now im trying to use as little as possible but two hours is a real stretch if im awake. aswell i take other pills to control my fits, but this isnt the place to discuss that, so lets discuss the most efficient and effective ways to use the wonderful natural alternative medication, that doesnt make me vomit and allows me to get work done since im not confined to a bed. as well i do have a bucket sitting around with a tiny bowl but i cannot really use that bc the smoke quality is crap and i end up coughing so hard and i have to smoke a bong toke anyways, and i do have pipes and even one hitter straight shooter but the smoke isn't desirable it tastes bad imo and this is what i need to overcome, im also looking at the NO2 but for 180 and not being top end i might get vtower but my mind isnt made up and i am still leaning towards the arizer solo, and the volcano (in my dreams). cheers
