Some questions about weed 'types' and vaporizing

Ok I smoked loads when I was young in school but came to hate it after getting into E's etc as it only made me paranoid etc etc.

I would dabble now and then but still the paranoia so stopped altogether.

Also at 17 I developed dust allergy which meant smoking would rile it up and cause even more phlegm.

Anyhow...

I recently tried vaporizing a chemical and despite my initial concerns it was very easy on the chest and I wouldn't have known I did it which was rather impressive to me.

After watching a vid of this old dude on youtube he said quite a few things which perked my interested to trying weed again, in vaped form. He said with vaping weed most of the 'negative body load' of weed is gone and you get a 'cleaner/clearer high'. This sounded great to me cos the main negatives of weed was the smoking bit obv. but the heavy couchlock/feeling like lead.

In my youth I had only a couple of strains which gave me a lovely euphoria without the heavyness- these IIRC were only with some rare weed and with a certain connect of squidgy black and pollen in particular.

This brings me to my next point...WTF is with all the different 'strains' of weed out there? Isn't THC just THC no matter what fancy name it has? The guy on the video said with vaping it doesn't matter if you used shit weed or really strong stuff if filling a vape. The result would be just the same it's just you'd require more of the weak stuff to equal the strong.

So what is with all the different types? I know when I used to smoke squidgy black had very different effects to, say, skunk and pollen was really the rolls royce of solid which I even put above skunk. I disliked skunk as I found it too grossly 'stoning' and preferred the 'airy' high of good hash. So what gives with the different effects? If it were only a case of THC then wouldn't just changing the amount you put in cause the same effects of each?

Anyhow with vaping I wanna know if what the guy said was true- that it will give me a nice light high if I want. Also with vaping, like I did with the chemical, could I just vape it off tinfoil if I wanted (like chasing the -weed- dragon)?

If indeed there ARE qualitatively different strains of weed which would give me the nice light high I have mentioned here?

I am thinking this would be a good 'drug' to get back into if I find it pleasing cos it would be alot less damaging to my health and cheaper than the other things I was looking into (i.e. crack) to pass the spare time where I feel a gap.

Instead of comedowns that last a week (as with most chemicals I have done) I just want something light that will give me a nice little buzz that I can have of an evening and feel right as rain the next day. So I'm interested in giving it another go since it would be pretty cost effective and given what the guy says is true and it gives a nice lighter buzz with the vaping method.
 
OP, you need to first off understand how cannabis works.

step 1)
go on google.com. learn about how cannabis works.

step 2)
you should now understand how cannabis works.
 
i know that sounds very dickish, but really man, before you start even getting on the topic of different strains vaped
you need to have a basic understanding of how cannabis and THC and its friends work.
thc is not "just thc either way" like you put it.
its a whole lot more complex than that. not too complex to understand but a lot less simple than your current understanding.

don't take that wrong, if you don't learn somewhere at somepoint, how will you know? :)
you took the first step to knowledge- asking questions.

normally i would sit down and type a big post explaining all of this but i ate 6 tabs this morning,
puked twice,
and im not exactly in the best state for doing shit like this.

theres also a ton of info here on BL.
use the search bar at the top of each forum page.

Yes i read the wiki a bit ago.

I'm more interested in hearing the subjective/general consensus on vaping which would be best garnered through hearing individual's experiences of it.
 
vaping will give a cleaner/clear high and you'll get just as stoned as smoking a few cones cept it won't taste like shit it will taste good.
its way better but dont use one of them cheaper vapes fork out a bit of cash and get a bag one.

as for strains, its just some are more potent than others, im in australia, i have barely ever came across a specific strain named to me, sure someone would say its white rhyno or w/e but how the fuck would they know if they didnt grow it.

but yeah pretty simple to understand
 
see the thread on page 1 of the Cannabis Discussion forum, titled "what is the most efficient method of cannabis consumption" or something like that.

i outline the ins and outs of vapourising in detail.
as for forking out cash, mine is a desktop, digital, glass bowl whip mouthpiece vape, cost me £40 on amazon.co.uk.

works incredibly well. and i almost paid out £399 for a volcano.
with the money i saved i was able to buy a magic flight launch box vape too.
which is well worth more than the £80 i paid for it.
along with a fat fat bag of dank buds to use in my new toys!

i find with the bag vapes you lose a bit of flavour as the terpens and flavinoids have time to cool while the bag fills,
and some ends up just sticking to the inside of the bag.
 
I'm not gonna pay money for paraphernalia as I will only toke prob once or twice a week and that's only if I like it so I wanna do tinfoil method.

Also how about these 'synthetic' cannabinoids like JWH blah blah, how do they compare?

tinfoil method?
do you mean vapourising off of tinfoil?

seriously man, that is not the same at all. it doesnt work like that.
thats a good way to get fumes in your lungs and waste a lot of weed.

dont take this the wrong way, but are you "special" ?
 
i dont have a large ego, im just telling it straight up.
if you "tinfoil" your ganja, you'll waste it.
don't want to see any ganjhead wasting their stash bro.

as for synthetic cannabinoids, it really depends on what you're after.
some people find JWH-018 to be anxiety inducing and on the more paranoid side of cannabis effects,
some people find 073 to be more like real cannabis with a more mellow mindset and more psychedelic feel.

personally i dislike synthetics as they make me feel stupified when ive smoked them.
also their long term health effects are not really known, so for me its not worth the possible risks,
when i can just buy actual cannabis.

however a HUGE number of people worldwide turned to the synthetics due to the fact they are quasi-legal (depending on area and compound),
and dont show up on drug tests, and the fact in a lot of places it is often cheaper and more readily available than cannabis.
(ie buying packs of "k2" or whatever at a gas station)

another thing about these synthetics is the side effects when you dose too much.
some people have reported experiencing horrible effects that just wont go away.

with natural cannabis, this risk is basically nil.
mental health is a different kettle of fish though.

if you are considering buying a vape, you can even buy vape bowl attachments for bongs, to turn your bong into a vape!
thats what i did, then i decided on buying proper ones :D

the vape bowls are very cheap. you can also make one from a soldering iron and a glass jar for next to nothing.
or pick up a cheap one online like i did, that works wonders.
make sure to research before you buy though, as there are a LOT of shitty ones out there that are not worth the cash at all.
shop around if you're interested in it.
once again though, the tinfoil method, is a good way to waste cannabis.


peace out and happy daze :)
 
Ok, thanks for info.

Yea I read up on the JWH a bit and it seems like I'd HATE it cos from what I read it is everything I hate in skunk- i.e the extreme stoning etc.

As you say, due to availability (unlike other chems) it'd be alot easier/safer bet to 'just go natural'.
