Yeah, I just like the vaporizer because, as an ex-tobacco user, my lungs could use an occasional rest. It felt safer and I don't have that early morning/need to clear throat feeling. But it takes some of the joy out of smoking, the yummy natural aroma is replaced by .. a popcorn taste?

You had the temp too high and/or hit the same bowl too many times. Try a volcano, problem solved. :awe:

I hope this thread doesn't get locked. I know there are those who are of the opinion that pot is no better than hard drugs, but I find adult discussion about the finer strains to be akin to discussion of fine wines or tobaccos. We're not discussing abuse, we're discussing the pleasure derived from the upper echelon of an awesome, although foolishly controlled, substance.


agreed.

how much you guys payin?

50 an eighth
100/quarter
300/zip round here

50 an eight for my cheapie guy (mexican weed, generic), $50 a glass vial for the premium shit, $100 minimum. NYC prices are very, very inflated. But the vial service is legendary, their clients include the rich and famous.

We're not rich and famous but I quit going to a shrink and stopped taking lexapro.. Which means I get the same anxiety release, when I need it, with no side effects. It's worth it :)

I know! One of the pleasures of buying a home was to be able to grow in our basement, but my wife is too scared to let me do that, and I respect that.. And I'm pretty sure that, if I grew at home, my pot budget would just be spent on more waffles anyways :)

whats that glass vial weight out too?

I'm not quite sure. I don't have a small scale... I have in-laws and visiting parental units that are extremely nosey and religious, so I limit the paraphernalia to one shoe box :)

edit: It looks close to an eight per vial for max capacity, but the vial is anywhere from 75% to 100% full depending on what I buy

Yeah what I had was medical, so it was definitely the kush. If it doesn't have that piney taste, its not real. Very up, heady stone, very creativity inducing. Extremely unique.

You know, I wish people would have more open discussions about this stuff. Weed is wonderful. Lexapro? Who needs it! Prozac? Fuck that! Why is it ok to drink away your paycheck every Friday (while putting lives at risk if you're dumb enough to get behind the wheel of a car), but so taboo to stay home, pop in a funny bluray, and just relax for a few hours. I've had so many personal epiphanies that I needed to buy a little tape recorded, to tape the shit I say.. Sure, it also makes me dumb enough to watch and enjoy Twilight, but I'm not hurting anyone.

Wow, the hydro is all you guys can get?

Around here hydro is also $100 qtr and up, but if you know the right people(old stoners club) you can still get good mexican with a few seeds for $200-$250 per QP.

Favorite strains

Violator Kush
Afghan Kush
White Widow

My wife is an MS patient and the Kush strains seem to give her the most relief

For a stoner you sure a a stodgy stick in the mud kind of person, at least on these forums. I would never thought of you as the type to partake in the Chronic.

hehe old stoners club..

here in texas there's a variety of qualitys...

for 240-300 a zip you can get high grade indoor stuff... and usually know the strain..

for 100-150 a zip you get sensimilla uncompressed stuff that's usually pretty damn decent

and for 50-75 an ounce you get schwag, usually seedy, usually already been keifed, almost always compressed.

I'm not stodgy or stick in the mud. I'm just really opinionated ;) The personal forum issue post about system notices isn't about being a stick in the mud, it's just I like HUMOR and INFORMATION, not HUMOR instead of INFORMATION.

I'd bet 99% of ATOT uses drugs

If you included psycho-pharmaceuticals, I'd say 99.99% Really, lexapro in particular did so many terrible things to me... Now I still have occasional bouts of anxiety but, you know what? I rather take a puff of a natural substance vs. an SSRI that causes limp .. Well, never mind. Hell, nothing cures a migraine as quickly as well.

P.S. I'm not knocking the entire field of psychology - depression and social anxiety disorder should be diagnosed and treated by professionals, but we should explore the medical possibilities of this wonderful, sticky icky plant.
