Smoking is Not a Good Way to Medicate

For me eating it can give a real knockout stone that smoking can't get me to.

Yup. I've made butter multiple times, coconut oil, decarbed .5g straight dab.. nothing. I was questioning if I was decarbing right. I gave away the butter and oil to some friends and it wrecked them. We're all 24/7 smokers, so high tolerances, which I thought might be a contributing factor to not getting effects, nope. I tried a tincture the other day, about .1 g of activated extract in ethanol sublingually, burned like hell but I did get some mild effects, so I'm going to play with administering this way.

I medicate every way I can but mostly smoke and edibles both , more smoke in the daytime and edibles to sleep

I am trying to convert to just the Volcano (vape) and edibles for medication. Vape is easier on my lungs but quenches my thirst for smoking and it has a faster onset than edibles (instant vs. 30 to 45 minutes). I think for me the reason I don't do edibles in the daytime is because usually I have somewhere to be and it is hard to find the right dosage so you might have to eat more or maybe you eat more and it was too much and you get couchlocked. Where a quick vape sesh has me going in ten minutes and at the perfect elevation to perform daily tasks.

That is because it has a shit load more tar than tobacco, some get vaporizers but I prefer the Incredibowl i420 as it filters most of the tar and I love RS Oil

Smoking weed is natural as all off human race has thc reciptor in your body that's been proven. Problem to many people jumping on band wagon wanting a profit in turn people still suffer with low qaulity meds not good. Eat or smoking don't matter all come back to crab or not your body will deside. Peace out

I vape now. I used to smoke tobacco in joints with my weed. I quit 2 1/2 years ago. I use the arizer solo and arizer air and still do. Those things are superb and I have quit tobacco because of them! They are reliable, easy to clean and get you wasted. Maybe there are better vapes, but those things are great still! I will always hold them in high regard, finally somebody invented something that toked clouds of weed without tobacco lol

Interesting thing is, I went to France last year for 10 days, didn't want to take any weed, so took over 50 rice crispie space cakes with me. My wife makes them and they get everybody MASHED UP! lol

It's all about decarboxylation! A joint burns it fast at the wrong temp, but it does decarb the weed a bit.

Now this is why vaping is much better than smoking. They are designed to hit the perfect temps for decarboxylation! That is why vaping gets you way more stoned than joints or blunts.

So, off I went to France without my vape... I went the whole ten days as well as I have been in years. I have ptsd and literally eating the weed in food was so effective, I knew too it was the future for me.

Since then I have learned how to make cannabis oil, for people with cancer, for free of charge.

I used to love a joint, but tobacco has to go! Blunts were just too harsh!

Sound like the op is chopping too early and getting that clear/milky energetic buzz.

Best thing about vaping is I save the already vaped bud, then make butter from it, then it still puts people on their ass! So you get stoned twice. 1 with vaping + 1 with food.

Also already vaped bud is good to add to the weed for the rso, as the decarboxylation temps will vary from length of vapes, temp settings. So it all helps.

Here's a tip for getting nicely stoned... vape, then have a cup of tea with it, straight after the vape, put 10 drops of hemp oil with high cbd under your tongue.

That gives you the perfect body stone lol

I have essential tremor disorder and a mild case of epilepsy. The meds neurologists were giving me were honestly worse than just dealing with my medical issues themselves.
Having said that, even very mild seizures make restful sleep impossible. Edibles take too long to work. I prefer to smoke or vape my meds.

i am also pondering which are the safest methods of consumption and (if anyone can expand on this please do) i have come up with what i believe are three of the most plausible ones being - coconut oil for vegetable capsules and cooking/baking edibles, PG/VG cannabis infused eliquid for vape pens, a Volcano vaporizer for dry herbs, and these are the best and most affordable ways to medicate in my opinion. I'm not sure if pg/vg is healthy for the lungs because it doesnt make me feel so good after using it sometimes. the purest method i have found is CO2 extractions - but these range up in the costs of thousands of dollars which is just not possible for the average consumer. i saw someone juicing the sugar trim and drinking the juice but that didnt look very enjoyable to me.

My lungs hate me when I smoke so I only do it when testing a new strain. I prefer tincture/edibles in combo.

WeedFreak, you may try an alcohol based tincture.

If you need cannabis for a medical reason and can't (or don't want to) smoke it or swallow it, I recommend making your own suppositories with coconut oil. Effects should hit you in less than five minutes, much faster than edibles usually do.

I had a bad case of flu recently and did not want to smoke because of the coughing from the virus. I didn't want to risk getting bronchitis. But I was miserable and couldn't sleep because of nausea and chills, so I finally smoked a bowl and immediately felt better. (I had run out of suppositories right before the flu kicked in, so I didn't have any on hand.) Once the cannabis stopped the nausea, the chills also went away. From now on I'm going to try to make sure I always have a couple of suppositories in the refrigerator for medical emergencies.

You mean just decarboxylating tiny buds and eating them straight up just like that?
I read that Timothy Leary ate decarbed buds in between two crackers with cheese and he called them Leary biscuits (lol). So I will have to try that. And I will definitely be trying tinctures with high proof grain alcohol, that sounds effective as well.
