    Medical Cannabis Producers Companies

    I would like to buy some medical cannabis at the pharmacy (Germany). But I don't have any clue which cannabis producers have consistent good quality and which companies to avoid.
    What are your favourite and worst companies?
    I see names like avaay, Cantourage, Remexian, Cannamedical, Demecan, Medical CNBS, Four 20 Pharma, Peace Naturals, Bathera, Top Shelf Medical, Canify and Therismos.
    And honestly, I don't have a clue.

    The Science Behind Cannabis Watering Techniques: What you need to know

    I just wrote an in-depth article breaking down the science behind dialed-in watering practices. But so that you don’t have to read the whole article, here are the key points:

    • Quality Over Quantity: Maintain the right volumetric water content (VWC) levels to ensure cannabis plants receive adequate hydration without drowning or experiencing water stress. The optimal VWC varies based on growth stage, environmental conditions, and strain.
    • Back it With Science: Monitor VWC and water to dryback percentages based on scientific principles like allowing the growing medium to partially dry out between waterings to encourage root exploration and prevent issues like root rot.
    • Unique Plant Insights: Follow watering practices tailored to each cannabis growth stage - seedling (gentle misting/bottom watering), vegetative (increased water for rapid growth), and flowering (careful monitoring to prevent mold/bud rot).

    The full article covers critical topics like optimizing volumetric water content, benefits of watering to dryback percentages, and much more.Thanks for reading!

    Growing my own: Low odor high CBD strains?

    I'm a first-timer when it comes to growing my own. Since I don't want to tip my neighbors off, I'm looking for strains that don't smell as much when flowering.

    What I'm looking for are auto or photo strains with high CBD and lower or equal THC for outdoor growing in a fairly short summer season, which I can compensate if necessary by using a greenhouse.

    This seems to be the right place to ask. Can you guys help me out? Thanks.

    Need an honest advice from an expert

    I recently underwent surgery on April 2nd after suffering a heart attack and received two stents in one of my coronary arteries due to complete blockage. I was discharged on April 4th and have been recovering well since then.

    My doctor advised me to quit smoking and using weed, which I had already stopped about 4-5 months prior to the heart attack. However, after the recent ordeal, I'm feeling mentally drained and was contemplating smoking one last joint as a sort of cleanse. I'm concerned if even one joint could worsen my condition and increase the risk of further complications.

    Please advice 🤍

    Where Does CBDV/CBG Fit Into MMJ?

    Is there any place that sells these types of flowers in dispensaries, and for how much? I live in a state that is finally getting medical cannabis (took long enough...) and I'm curious if there is a market for such things.

    I know there is CBD/CBDV dominant cannabis, as well as CBG, and THC/THCVdominant cannabis, with the strains growing those sets of cananbinoids specificall. I believe, according to the laws being made for the upcoming year when medical cannabis will finally be legal, that everything has to be grown in-state.

    So I'm just curious if anyone has seen these sold in dispensaries in their state, and for how much.

    washington state purchasing rules for 19 year old

    i recently got my medical marijuana prescription and am planning my first trip to the dispensary to get my card/purchase.

    my big question is: are there any differences in laws for what i can purchase/how much with me being over 18, but under 21?

    i’m mostly interested in cartridges (less smell and mess), but i’m not sure if i’m allowed to purchase those.

    i also have no idea what to ask for when purchasing flower if anyone has any advice. what all do i need to smoke flower? should i ask for help at the dispensary?

    i apologize for all my cluelessness and if anyone has answers/advice they’d be greatly appreciated.

    Nugg md help

    So I got my letter of approval by nugg md and everything and the sent me to my states registration site ( Nevada ) but I can’t seem to register it makes me put my email for new cardholder and makes me upload back of my ID but it doesnt go thru I’ve done it all day and nothing 😭 any help to this ?? I don’t have barcode scanner either so idk what I’m doing wrong but I feel like it’s the picture of my ID

    It says this You will need to scan, or take a photo with your camera phone, of the back of your driver's license (ID card) ( it must be the actual card, not a photocopy). If you are renewing your registration your MMP ID card is not a valid form of identification. If you are scanning, scan to either a JPG, PNG or TIF file in grayscale or color at 300 DPI or greater. If you are going to take a photo, take a closeup of the back in very bright light. Upload the file using the Select button below.

    Is LeafWell legit still?

    Hey everyone Im in WA state and I've been dealing with cancer and its effects on my body for years. I've had an mmj authorization for several years in the past but my doctor left and its been hard to find anyone to help me. Saw Leafwell on Leafly while I was scoping out some new strains. All the docs in the area are like 6 hr round trips from where I live, thats super rough on my body dont know if I can take it. Just looking for a valid auth so I can skip out on the 45% tax thats about to be cut in a few weeks

    UPDATE: Got my authorization yesterday after only a few business days. In WA state I have one further step to getting the discount, just have to find a dispensary that can process this paperwork and print me an actual cannabis patient ID card. I've left a message with the only person around who is able to do it, after this I'll update again

    visiting Texas

    My understanding of TX is mostly based on outlandish charicatures and sensationalist news headlines, but it sounds like

    a) TX doesn't have med card reciprocity, and
    b) there's no recreational use

    It sounds like I'm taking a break from MMJ while I'm visiting, but I wasn't sure if there were any loopholes I was unaware of (e.g., smoke shops in certain states are limited on what they sell in terms of a 0.5% THC content threshold, but this is only THC proper and excludes THCA and other cannabinoids; in practice, the vast majority of the flower sold at medical dispensaries falls under this threshold because cured flower mostly contains THCA)

    tl;dr - workarounds for obtaining flower in TX?

    18 soon and considering getting a recommendation

    CALIFORNIA

    i recently found out on my own that i likely have joint hypermobility, which could be the cause of my chronic pain. it’s inconsistent, but it usually hurts enough to have me rest on the floor after tasks or fall like an old person if i move too quickly. i am considering mmj due to the fact that my pain goes away before pills hit me. it doesn’t affect my DAILY life, but it is time-consuming, barely bearable, embarrassing, and a huge inconvenience when pain does happen to me.

    i am thinking about mmj usage since my father used to use it. he had chronic pain that needed injections, and i didn’t find any sharps containers in his house after i heard that he used mmj for pain. i also have a family history of a type of inflammatory arthritis.

    i was wondering if i would be a good fit for a recommendation?

    Tincture

    T-break tincture

    Hey guys, I posted this on a few other subs and figured I'd post it here too. I don't post much on Reddit so my b if I'm doing this wrong. I'm planning on making a daytime and nighttime non-psychoactive tincture.

    The general intent of these tinctures is to take them sublingually for anxiety relief, focus, pain management, and sleep while I take a t break or just straight up quit from very heavy daily THC usage. I plan on making these very strong (18gs of concentrate per 2 ounces of alcohol). I'm not worried about taste at all.

    I bought everything I need, and just want to run my plan past y'all before I put it all together. Here's the proportions I'm going to use:

    Daytime: H4-cbd 11g 55% Cbg 5g 25% CBC 2g 10% Cbt 2g 10% Ever clear 2 oz

    Nighttime: H4-cbd 12g 60% Cbno 4g 20% CBC 2g 10% Cbt 2g 10% Ever clear 2 oz

    Recipe: put all the concentrates in a jar. Add everclear alcohol. Shake/stir until dissolved. Transfer to dropper bottle. Repeat for nighttime.

    Some questions I have: Will the ever clear be able to dissolve that much distillate?

    Do I store this in the fridge or cupboard?

    Did I do my math right? It should be about 165-180 mgs of h4-cbd per milliliter (1 dropper) and 300 mgs total cannabinoids per ml.

    Has anyone done a tincture with these cannabinoids? What was the dosage, oil or alcohol, and how were the effects?

    Particularly has anyone ever done H4-CBD and cbg together? Also has anyone done CBNo and what was your dose?

    The cbg and CBNo that I bought are isolates(powder). Do I need to heat everything up and mix it at all before adding alcohol or will it all just dissolve once the alcohol goes in?

    Why is there braille on the drive thru ATMs?

    Are there any other non THC or HHC noids I should put in here?

    What about other ingredients like essential oils?

    Please let me know what you think, happy to receive any critiques.

    Need pinpointing why I love this strain

    Hello! So I've smoked on and off over the years and weed has always felt the same to me. No matter the name, no matter if indica or sativa. I never notice a difference from any strain I hit. Until last Friday.

    A cookies shop opened up a block away from me, so I decided to pick up some of their 2090 hybrid. And I've never felt this way on weed. I can think clearly, I don't forget literally 20% of the things that just came out of mouth, I don't feel weighed down and foggy, and im no where near as anxious on the come up as I am with every single strain I've smoked.

    How can I figure out what it is about this strain that is so favorable for me, pinpoint it, and shop better with this information in mind? What terps should I be looking at?

    Thank you for any help.

    Going to State capitol to speak with Legislators

    And I would like some advice - I am a MMJ patient with frequent anxiety attacks, will I be able to bring my MMJ vape through the security to enter the capitol building? I am in PA.

    If so, what are the rules and regulations? Does my device have to be bought at the dispensary also?

    Chronic Pain Sufferers, Do I Have Options with T Breaks?

    I (almost 68 yr. old F) have had my MMJ card for approximately three years for debilitating spinal/back, shoulder and leg pain and fibro to the point that even simple household chores are a problem and have unfortunately found out during this time that I'm highly tolerant to THC, to the point that after a week I need to keep increasing dosage. Currently I'm on a T-break as I was up to three dropperfuls of Standard Farms Mint RSO to feel any type of relief and this essentially is going to "break my bank" at the rate I'm going through, to say nothing of it becoming ineffective. I will not smoke/vape as I'm an ex smoker. I've found tinctures and believe it or not - honey - that greatly help when they DO work.

    Can I ask what fellow chronic pain users who have this issue use, if anything, on the days/weeks that they are on a break? If you cannot get relief through your "usual dosing" TIA for any insight! And if you need to ask any questions, feel free.
