Kids like doing it in public.
I prefer my couch.

The favorite thing we have found are the high concentrate drinks. A capful is about 7.5 mg and, the best part, it kicks in in about 10 minutes. So, you can tell really quickly if you might want a little more. They're just really great.
I had a vape pen for a bit but developed a nasty cough as a result. It really shredded my lungs.japhy wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 11:26 amUnabashedly boomer.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 3:58 pmIf you're still buying flower form from a dispensary, you're gen x at the youngest.japhy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 3:46 pm

We have had mixed results with gummies and drinks. I don't think it is as common now, but many early versions of those edibles used an alcohol solvent process of some sort to extract thc and to keep the gummie; gummy. Annie has a very low tolerance for alcohol, almost to the point of being allergic. So just a trace amount made for a lousy evening. Nothing worse than getting high and then spending the next 3 hours puking. It seems to take a lot of the joy out of it for her, and me. So many of those products do not give you a heads up on their process for extraction, so I just gravitated to a Pax vape and flower years ago on my daughter's advice. And I like the incremental dosage control that the vape gives me. I do like the odorless Ripple Pure powders for travel purposes.
Without actual combustion of the leafy matter, the smell is not as strong. It smells more like fresh weed than weed smoke. I turn it on and take a few hits and then turn it back off. One of my dogs likes the smell and comes into the kitchen to see what's up and the other gives me a disgusted look and leaves the room. If you walk into the kitchen a few minutes later you don't really notice the smell. Our kitchen always smells like food so that makes a difference as well.
I guess I just rarely have to worry about how long it takes for a gummy to kick in. I don't do so much that I can't still be out and about doing my thing when I start feeling them. I am not looking to get blasted or anything; just managing pain and anxiety and taking the edge off. If I have a day where I want to get a good buzz then I'll just eat several gummies and ride them out for several hours. Taking 20 minutes to get rolling really isn't a big deal to me when you're going to be high for 4 hours.Mjl wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 1:01 pm I find the combination of inconsistency from piece to piece combined with the long time to kick in of edibles frustrating so I rarely use those.
Vape is the usual go to, but if I have plenty of time I prefer flower because it's cheaper and I like the effects more.

I think it was japhy here who started me on taking a gummy right before stepping into an airport for a long day of leisure travel, especially with layovers. Game changer. Even the smallest airport lounges become very pleasant.twocoach wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 1:22 pmI guess I just rarely have to worry about how long it takes for a gummy to kick in.

I'd like to know DC's favorite route to the couch.
A gummy before a long day of just about anything works well. Got a lot of work done organizing my garage on Sunday killing time before the Chiefs game. Slapped a 4x8 sheet of peg board up and got a bunch of tools sorted and organized.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 3:03 pmI think it was japhy here who started me on taking a gummy right before stepping into an airport for a long day of leisure travel, especially with layovers.

I need a minimum of 10mg to get me there. Too much of me for 5mg to do the trick.KUTradition wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 6:25 pm we can get 5mg medical mints out here that are just about perfect for taking the edge off
in my younger days we did the butter infusion. did the brownie thing, but i personally preferred cinnamon and sugar toast on some weed-buttered bread
