happy 4/20 to chuck schumer

since this is the thread that happens to be bumped:
i'm a couple of months into taking sublingual MMJ tincture for my Crohn's disease, under the NY program.
First month was a high CBD/low THC ratio. One 0.5ml dropper syringe in the morning, one at night. I did not see an effect on my baseline after a month (was pretty compliant on the dosing - only missed one dose during that time).
On my return visit to the union square dispensary, talked with the pharmacist and she wanted to try me on 1:1 ratio for a month (2.5mg THC, 2.5 mg CBD per dose, one in the morning one at night).
The 1:1 did help, but only after I got to the third week, had a mini-flareup, and tried a double dose that morning. The double dose knocked out my flareup symptoms and seemed to lead into a period of stability for several days following, even though I went back to my regular dosing after the 2x one. Had another mini flare the next week, did the same thing, same result.
Came back to dispensary this Monday and shared my experience; they advised that based on this I ought to keep taking the 2.5mg/2.5mg 2x/day as my standard, but double it when I get noticeably symptomatic.
So I feel hopeful about where my baseline will be after a few months of this. The only thing is, when I take a double dose I definitely feel lightly baked, in contrast to the regular dose which doesn't SEEM to have any psychoactivity for me.
Here's a side question though: I'm supposed to drive to Boston tomorrow, drive back the next day. Driving is not part of my daily obv. SHOULD I be driving while taking a 1:1 sublingual tincture? Every resource just tells me to 'take time to be aware how medical marijuana affects you before driving'. Thanks. I don't think it's out of the question that my regular dose might produce a slight diminishment of reaction time, even though I don't feel high on it...?

as a fellow Crohn's sufferer, I'm wondering what you consider to be a mini flare-up?
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 20 April 2018 16:51 (five years ago) link
yeah i know that can mean a lot of things to a lot of people!
gas-like abdominal cramps/roiling, a felt need to get stuff out coupled with everything being kind of tense/seized up so that I'm making lots of minimally productive trips to the bathroom, enervation, bone-deep depression wave, feeling of fever without a temperature
pretty much sums it up
I guess I say 'mini' if I don't have to go to the ER and there's no blood, lol

Are you on 77? There’s a relevant thread there I prefer to post to for privacy reasons.

Ok will cross post to that if I can find it on Zing.

eh it’s legal medically in some form in the entire northeast. although who knows what the uptick in highway ice activity means

carne, I'm going to San Francisco in November and have been giving this some thought. Any tips on discrete travel?
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 27 June 2018 13:49 (five years ago) link
package it with aromatic toiletries to minimize the smell. wrap it in clothes. tsa is actually not authorized to check for weed although with jeff “lock up anyone darker than me” sessions in illegitimate power who knows
― maura, Wednesday, 27 June 2018 13:51 (five years ago) link
also edibles don’t really smell strong depending on what you get! the weediest smelling thing i bought at uncle ike’s a few months back was the bag of peanut butter cups. i just stuckthe bag in my laundry
― maura, Wednesday, 27 June 2018 13:52 (five years ago) link
God is Uncle Ike’s a big tourist draw now??

Better to carry on or put in checked bag?

like others said the most discreet is vape pens and edibles, When i travel for work i take a vape pen in my carry on all the time even internationaly. When i'm coming back from CA and im bring a lot of stuff to stock up on i will put it in my check bag .
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Wednesday, 27 June 2018 14:12 (five years ago) link
i feel like the TSA doesn't give two shits about it. they have looked at my vape pen more than once and just shrugged it off.

Cool, I'm trying to get caught up on all the new tech. I'm pretty much a weed luddite.

I went to meet my wife at the airport a couple of months ago and she asked me to bring an edible for her since she'd've been stuck on a plane for hours and then have to get a train home from the airport. I was a bit nervous about it but brought it anyway then got to almost void my bowels when I had to go past 2 sets of sniffer dogs to get to the arrivals area. The second dog actually came right up to me and sniffed my leg but didn't bark. I assume they were probably bomb dogs not drug dogs but still. I won't be doing that again.

A few weeks ago I was sitting by myself on a train, at a table of four, when three other people came and sat down in the empty seats around me. One of the guys took off his coat - he was a policeman, in full uniform. In my bag I had a nice portion of VERY stinky skunk - thankfully, encased in one of these smelly bags. So the pigs were cool.

I've used those smelly proof bags before, pretty good. My current dealer just uses jiffy bags made for coffee beans and they work great.
― Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 27 June 2018 14:20 (five years ago) link
there's a great (possibly apocryphal) story about this little convenience store in some tiny Northern California town that had the Ziploc corporate people come visit them because they were the nation's leading sellers of "turkey bags" - normally used for baking turkeys in ovens but also good for smell. "What's your secret?" the Ziploc people asked. Pretty sure they got some mumbled half-hearted "not sure" as a response.
― sleeve, Wednesday, 27 June 2018 14:42 (five years ago) link
I asked about edibles that looked like pills before and the person at the store said “oh planning on flying somewhere eh?”. They were unlabeled gel caps I stashed them with my vitamins and it was totally stealthy. This backfired in Colorado when I bought pill looking ones that sadly had THC stamped into them

one of the few 21st century inventions that if you showed it to high school/college me it'd blow my mind. Assume TSA doesn't care about them cause it's clearly personal use only and a small amount at that.

Some airlines forbid checking lithium-ion batteries into luggage, and as an example, I've seen signs at BOS to alert passengers.
Ergo, the thing to do if you check luggage is to put your vape cartridge into your checked bag and carry the igniter portion of the vape right through security. Thanks to e-cigs, those are totally legal and ubiquitous.
I've never done it, but I have tons of friends who have zero fears whatsoever about carrying hash oil onto planes.
― Joe Gargan (dandydonweiner), Wednesday, 27 June 2018 16:11 (five years ago) link
yeah don't put l-ion batteries in your checked luggage
― sleeve, Wednesday, 27 June 2018 16:16 (five years ago) link
or i don't even take my battery if i'm flying somewhere i know i can pick one up for $15 at .

Col Poo - I'm guessing your edibles are home-made brownies or cookies, not lozenges or mints or gummies that a) don't smell and b) come individually sealed in plastic anyway. It's really no big deal to fly within or out of the States with a bunch of weed in the 2010s.
― kelp, clam and carrion (sic), Wednesday, 27 June 2018 18:35 (five years ago) link
nah was fudge, not sealed, and not in the US

my sis walked right past a TSA dog with a bag of gummies in her purse and nothing happened (not sure what the deal is with those dogs, if they're only trained on explosives or some drugs but not weed or whatever)
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 27 June 2018 19:04 (five years ago) link
I think TSA is only concerned about weapons and shit. if they happen to come across some weed they sometimes ignore it or else call the local authorities but it's not their thing , most i assume are on drugs themselves.
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Wednesday, 27 June 2018 19:15 (five years ago) link
lol yeah nbd they will just call the local authorities

idk it depends where you are at i only say this becasue my friend got his shit taken and just a scolding from the cops trying to fly out of LA and this was before rec was lagal , He had his med card .
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Wednesday, 27 June 2018 19:22 (five years ago) link
xp except bringing personal use edibles or vape pen is not "trafficking drugs"
