It's just bullshit that stoners tell each other and convince themselves of right?
I'm in that in between phase where I start smoking with the intention of getting high and fucking shit up but end up passing the fuck out within 30 minutes and waking up 8 to 12 hours later very confused. It always feels like a huge waste of both my time and the weed, so I had to learn the terrible life lesson that sometimes yeah, it's actually a better experience to use less. Who knew?
Definitely, I've been just taking a 5 mg gummy after work and it puts me pretty much where I like to be for like 2 or 3 hours, relaxed but not out of it.
I feel like I don't get to do anything with my life.
I only ever work, or sit at home. Which is really my mom's home, but I just stay here cause I can't go anywhere, & don't think I can manage things independently.
Not like cleaning, or cooking for myself, but understanding important documents; like bills, notices, tax documents & the like.
I can't read them, they don't make sense to me. :cheems:

bring back home economics classes.
maybe redact stuff and post it, asking for an explanation? you shouldn't need to be independent but society kind of makes it rough if you can't be.
Indica and sativa are not actually useful terms for describing weed, especially becasue everything is a hybrid, you can't get pure strains anymore. Terpine profile and reviews of the specific strain are a lot more useful, but only when it's actually the strain it claims. Basically I find most weed labeling unhelpful at best and actively misleading at worst. :vivian-shrug:
you can’t get pure strains anymore
I mean, insofar as strains are just a certain combination of phenotypes for a certain combinations of genes, there's no such thing as a pure strain just like there's no such thing as a purebred dog I guess? But you can definitely get weed that's got mostly indica traits or mostly sativa traits, especially if you grow your own and get your seeds from a reputable breeder
oh hey it's almost like the dominant economic system encourages businesses to mislead their consumers with infinitely segmentable markets, creating the illusion of choice even though all the meaningful decisions are made by the people who own the businesses, or something
I've definitely smoked weed that made me want to take a walk in the middle of the night.
Honestly there's no way those claims are worth anything, really. No one was keeping track of the ancestry of most strains until very recently, so virtually all of the info on older strains (the ones bred in the 80s and 90s, when new strains really began to proliferate) is basically not trustworthy. Scientists don't even consider indica a different species (and indeed, since it can interbreed with sativa and produce reproductively-capable offspring, it really isn't). Ruderalis, at least, has a clear phenotype to distinguish it (auto-flowering), but as far as I know, no one expects anything specific from ruderalis strains in terms of effect.
Different strains do have different effects, though; that's well-known.
Start a weed log and you'll find how different strains, from consistent sources, affect you reasonably consistently. Problem, as I see it, (I'm just a lowly stoner on a tolerance break) is that even your indicas nowadays are selected for high amounts of THC which kinda undermine the whole point of an indica.
That was always my impression, there's been so much cross breeding I usually just base it off of the crystal content.
Sativa: tall, annoying to grow indoors.
Indica: good and bushy, perfect for growing in the closet.
Knew a guy in high school that basted chicken with cannabis butter.
I know indica and sativa are bullshit, but I will say that as a general rule I’m more likely to get sleepy if I smoke things labeled indica and less likely to get sleepy if I smoke things labeled sativa
from what i know, the main issue is sativa is more THC heavy and indica has more CBD, so they do tend to have that effect on people, but it also is different person to person sometimes.
The other thing to remember is that pretty much all weed is a hybrid of some kind. Theres no 100% sativa or indica, its a mix of both. The strain or terpene profile is usually more important than THC percentage.
Weed gets me high, I can't tell the difference, some strains smell a little nicer in the jar and look a little prettier :shrug-outta-hecks:
I didn't really think there was a huge difference the first few years I smoked, but now I can usually tell if something is indica-dominant or sativa-dominant based on how it makes my brain feel. Not sure if that's cause I have more experience being high, cause I have a higher tolerance, or because I'm over 30
Sativas are generally more energizing and indicas are generally more soporific but the thing is it's really up to the cannabinoid content of the particular variety you are smoking as well as interactions with the other terpenes in said variety, and my understanding as a general layman in an illegal state is that a lot of varieties which are currently produced are hybridized either way so you're not really getting pure "indica" or "sativa" either way. And it's still a generalization that is open to more confusion when how the weed is processed matters, when it's harvested matters, etc., because time, heat, and other environmental factors will affect the conversion of thc/other cannabinoids into various metabolites which will contribute to the ultimate "high" that you get from it.
Everything has been cross strained a million times by now that it very likely doesn't matter what strain anything is dominant in, what matters is just how it effects each individual. I use to think I could only do Indica cause everyone said sativas are way more mentally stimulating, and they can be, but so can indica lol. Things get really muddy with how some genetics are claimed. I'm definitely no expert just been doing the weed for more than half my life but some strains just vibe better with me than others. I really like high cbd weed more than super high thc stuff, and it works for me so I'm happy with it. Doesn't seem to matter at all if it's indica dominant or sativa
I primarily do edibles these days since I use them for sleep (pop a few around 9 and im good by midnight). Can't feel much difference between types, same with vapes when I dabble on occasion.
Aren't gummies usually refined THC so you really don't get the difference from the strains it's just like a generalized "high"?
The distillation process loses most of the turpines, the only significant chemical that survives is the THC.
pop a few around 9
I read this as "pop a few (around 9 [of them])" and was horrified
On a tolerance break rn but yeah, normally I can put down 200-400mg delta8 and be OK
Does indica/salvia have any difference in edibles? I can feel a difference when I smoke l, but when ever I have edibles it always feels like the same high
I've never been big on edibles, I either get floored or don't feel anything because if I'm in a stoner arc I get tolerance maxed within a couple weeks.
I haven't found a difference. I don't bother separating them when decarboxylating oil as a result.
