That's why the firecrackers were so good.
Cannabis Oil/THC oil as an alternative to smoking, any experiences?

I was going back thru some of the older threads and found this one. Thought I'd add two cents worth to it.I have a stirrer but it's not a heated one. I use it when making colloidal silver but I'm good with decarbing the oil and stirring by hand one in a while. I also use 10% MCT to thin it a bit.

Not too long ago I saw where they are decarbing on a hot plate. I don't remember weather they used glass or stainless steal. They set the hotplate to 242. The oil was put on the glass on the hotplate and a fork was dragged thru it until the fine bubbles stopped. I think the website was cannabishomesciences.com. They are doing some good stuff there.

Peyote tastes like chewing up vicodin

I don't smoke, But when I do smoke weed it makes it hard to breathe for a couple of hours. So I plan on getting one of these and using coconut oil with it and storing it in brown glass bottles with the eyedroppers.

I've heard pro and con on those things. It would be nice if they actually work. I want to try one myself.
That coughing doesn't get any better. I say go to edibles and those machines may just keep people breathing a while longer.

You ever try a straight just dry herb type vaporiser like the mightey or volcano or something not like those ecig ones with plant or vegetable glycerin in it ? Might help a bit switching to one of those if edibles alone dont work out for you mate

I've never heard of one. It's been around 40 years since I've smoked pot. I quit because it made my allergies worse.
Ohio legalized it and I'm growing some now. I want to try it for dulling the body pain.

Got to second that about dry herb vapes. I have a starry 3.0. It's excellent. Set the temp for what you want. By the time you inhale it's already pretty cool. You can set the temp to their default 356F and just get the things that evaporate up to that temp, like THC. Mine is set to 370F because I want the linaloo. There's no smoke until around 400+.
It's a lot easier on the lungs than smoking and comes on almost as fast.

I don't smoke cigarettes at all. Never have.
I just can't smoke pot without taking lot of allergies meds.

The only thing about edibles is that take longer to work, but they last a lot longer than smoking. Breathing is a lot easier with edibles and you might even do it a little longer. Ask anyone with COPD.
If I had one of those machines I'd sure use it. I'd buy one myself but I do well without one. Highly recommend that rather than smoking, I say as I put down my pipe.

Yeah bud thats why i suggested it most i know who quit smoking find edibles a bit slow to kick in hence the vape for more instant pain relief or whatever
I've suggested the same for my husband that he use the vape, or a joint, while he's waiting. I also make tincture which is alcohol based and has a quicker onset. But he prefers the oil based and it works but onset is typically 1-2 hours depending on the fat load he takes it with.

Oh definitely tincture is faster in onset than oil based however some folk swear by lecithin for making it kick in faster but i find something citrus based like edible lemon or orange oil seems to be the best of the bunch hides the taste great thats why if i make choclate i use terrys choclate orange for it ime it kicks in ten mins faster than anything else i tried to speed it up and my friend's and family agree as well
Lecithin is great. I use it in my gummies for a better emulsification. My husband loves sweets and he also loves tangerines so a chocolate orange should be welcomed. I'll get him one, thanks!

I didnt find it made so much difference(lecithin)a bit but i found orange oil in the mix definitely did kick in faster no problem hope it helps

WOW! That's interesting. Did you use it along with lecithin or instead of? And, how much? It could sure help the flavor for RSO.
