xp 100 dose?!? you mean 100mg, no?
― the late great, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 21:45 (six years ago) link
Yeah, couldn't remember the unit and didn't want to inadvertently claim 100g or something which it looks like I kind of did anyway by omission. So yours was 50 doses? How much is a dose?
― Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 21:48 (six years ago) link
10mg = 1 dose ime

I'm with you, marcos. I only do them when I have people in from out-of-state and they want to do some, mainly for the novelty factor.

Jesus. I'd probably be wrecked 2 days later if I had a quarter of that

and yeah i’m convinced they sell it for novelty factor because who wants to break a palm-sized brownie into 50 pieces?

it wasn’t all that bad actually because i was at home and about an hour in when I realized how bad i had fucked up I decided to get in bed and sleep it off ... and I immediately passed out
woke up about 16 hrs later feeling quite groggy (not high) and that groggy feeling took a day or two to pass
i put the rest of the brownie down the garbage disposal instead of the trash because i was afraid a raccoon would get at it and flip the fuck out
― the late great, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 22:04 (six years ago) link
xp yeah i guess so. i’ve been smoking daily for close to 10 years now and it was way over my tolerance but i guess it might be different if i was eating edibles daily
― the late great, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 22:07 (six years ago) link
a single brownie broken into 50 pieces?! that is absurd. how is labeling of edibles standardized? is there something like a nutrition label or a metric like proof/alcohol to determine strength? do people follow the directions usually?
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 3 January 2018 22:27 (six years ago) link
They usually have a label with the THC amount. This is based on Californian ones, could be different elsewhere
― Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 22:32 (six years ago) link
until it's legal nationally, is it likely that standards & labeling will vary from state to state?
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 3 January 2018 22:32 (six years ago) link
how much did that 50 doser cost?
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 3 January 2018 22:33 (six years ago) link
xp aiui yes, as well as testing standards unfortunately
― sleeve, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 22:38 (six years ago) link
the thing about quantity of thc in edibles is that the cannabis oil it is made with is not distributed equally, so you may get a nibble and have close to no thc while another part of it may have way more
i think we've had this conversation in another thread before
― infinity (∞), Wednesday, 3 January 2018 22:47 (six years ago) link
i'm just wondering because a movement to standardize units and labeling would be interestingand seems pretty necessary from what i've read here

Commercial edibles usually use distillate now, which is 99% pure activated THC (and flavorless, so your brownies don't taste vaguely of dank lawn clippings) rather than traditional oil preps.
A friend brought back very low dose edibles - mints and chocolate covered blueberries in 2mg-5mg doses. Seemed pretty accurate in terms of how much it took to feel anything.

I made a tincture with distillate in Everclear but I hated it and gave away the bottles. A pregnant friend was saving hers for the future but her wine-mom/teacher reading group discovered the bottle in the freezer and drained it within a few sessions. Apparently 5 drops in a glass of wine was juuuuuust right.

for me vaping is just not enough of a rush, edibles affect my body too much and also act too slowly, but smoking is just right.

for small and low dose edibles this sounds right ime
also w/r/t to tincture it really depends on so many factors
my grandfather can't have more than 2 drops in a glass
― infinity (∞), Wednesday, 3 January 2018 23:32 (six years ago) link
if you want a stronger hit you probably want to put the temperature of the vapourizer above something like 400f, if your alternative is smoking it, it wouldn't matter that it's that high anyway

A few weeks ago I mentioned the looming fear I've been feeling regarding Canada's legalization project. To be precise, I've had the hunch that we may end up in a society that's actually less free and more punitive than ever before. Case in point, the Quebec Landlords Association:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-landlords-clauses-marijuana-leases-2018-1.4476344
That's right, a whole new set of prohibitions, fines, injunctions, not to mention stronger enforcement of other laws as some sort of strange tit-for-tat on the part of the police.
In Montreal, you are 10 to 20 feet from someone who's smoking a joint at practically all times of day or night. In the dead of winter, at a bus stop across from a police station, emanating from the window of a seniors' retirement home, you name it. EVERYONE smokes cannabis in Quebec, EVERYONE.
It appals me that legalization threatens a status quo that's extremely tolerant. Or, perhaps, this is simply the opportunity that anti-drug conservative types have been waiting for. Legalize it, make buying it legally a typically Canadian over-regulated nightmare, then kick away the ladders on all the real freedom.

Oh man, my newage hippie sister-in-law is trying to set up a business selling CBD oil here in Maryland. She was openly doing this on FB the other day and telling people that it was legal because it didn't contain THC or something? It looks like the post has been taken down, so it must not have been without controversy.

CBD oil is legal in a lot of states, as long as it contains less than 0.3% THC iirc
some is "full spectrum," and contains everything from the hemp, some is "pure" and only contains CBD
― gbx, Monday, 8 January 2018 20:57 (six years ago) link
the 0.3% cutoff is what distinguishes "hemp" from "marijuana," even tho they're the same plant (a fact I only recently learned)
― gbx, Monday, 8 January 2018 20:59 (six years ago) link
I would think that the production of CBD oil would require licensing, testing and inspection at the state level.

xxp - the male/female thing is a myth, the difference in varieties is pretty much entirely the THC content
― louise ck (milo z), Tuesday, 9 January 2018 03:54 (six years ago) link
so there is definitely some sex differences, right? i understand sex is complex in cannabis but my friend, who grows his own stuff, i guess simplified it when he told me males produce really low levels of thc, so in order not to waste them, hemp is made out of them and also put into stuff like beer
while female buds provide the highest levels of thc and so are not used primarily for hemp, because they're harvested for their various high levels of thc. levels of thc diminish in other parts of the female plants
― infinity (∞), Tuesday, 9 January 2018 04:43 (six years ago) link
Only females can have the THC levels to get high (in the flowering buds) but industrial hemp grows have both male and female plants (that produce less than .3% in the US).
Per this - https://www.marijuanatimes.org/are-male-or-female-seeds-better-for-industrial-hemp-growing/ - even industrial grows prefer female plants sometimes?
