Smoking without tobacco

I'm fairly new around here, and also to the joys of smoking. I started out with joints, and basically EVERYONE here rolls them with tobacco. I'm personally not very keen on that stuff. I mean, I like it... but perhaps a bit too much. So I figured it's best to cut down/quit right now, before it gets really hard to do so. But when I asked my friends about smoking pure and/or using tobacco replacers they all responded like I was insane... soo... I wanted to ask for some advice here.

What kind of other herbs/replacers could be used to roll a joint with instead of tobacco? What are the pros/cons of smoking pure? Any thoughts welcome :)

Smoking Trees Like Pipe Tobacco

I enjoy smoking pipe tobacco and I was wondering if any of your gENTs knew of any way to get a long slow smoke out of trees.

What Is Your Favorite Strain For Social Occasions?

I find that Sour Diesel (Sativa) works fairly well, but Hindu Kush I believe mostly Indica), Ice Cream (an Indica-Dominant hybrid), and Durban Poison (100% Sativa, No Paranoia) are my personal favorites.

Anyone else?

Enough weed for one huge bowl or two good-sized bowls, which do you choose?

Pretend for the sake of the situation you cannot smoke more after this. A lot of times I've found it's more worthwhile to get as high as possible and just ride it all the way down, but I also have some pretty good experiences with that second bowl, and the overall experience would last longer. Thoughts?

What is your favorite lineage?

When you have access to quality, identified product: what is your favorite phenotype or lineage?

Everything that descends from LA Confidential are like gold for me. I'm seven crosses in to the list and I've yet to be disappointed.

Question regarding selling of pipes online and the legalities of it

I know that selling 'tobacco pipes' is allowed and as long as there isn't any mention of bongs, other drugs, or anything like that on the product you can do it. The description, footer, terms and conditions should all have 'only for tobacco use' to be safe. This is what I have understood from looking at online headshops and asking around.

However, would it be legal to sell like that on a domain that has 'marijuana', 'weed', or 'cannabis' in the title? Say the domain name is something like marijuanacenter.com or cannabiscure.com (both just made up). Does anyone have any info on this?

The Ritual

After taking a long tolerance break I realized that often I enjoy the ritual of smoking more than the smoke itself. Picking the perfect bud, grinding it, sorting, making the filter, rolling and sealing. It goes on, getting a nice hot drink ready, finding where I am going to smoke, setting the mood and then finally lighting the thing.
While I was on my break I started to really focus on making an awesome cup of morning coffee. I discovered pour over coffee. Pre heat the cup and rinse the filter, decide what beans I am going to use today, weigh them, boil the water and let it cool to the perfect temp, moisten the beans…wait…wait… slowly start the pour, watch the ground beans release their oils, watch the steam dance…wait…wait then enjoy the coffee. I was just wondering what rituals other people enjoy. What ceremonies do you have that takes something basic and makes it into a personal experience for you?

What would you put into a bill legalizing marijuana nationally?

What would you do differently than other bills that have succeeded/failed in the US (or whatever country) and how would you justify what you're proposing?

For honesty's sake, I'll let you know I'm doing a project, and I'm using all my resources and brainstorming.

EDIT: I'm no longer doing this project, because I read the outline and it specifically says no bills legalizing marijuana... which is weird. Anyway, I'd still like to hear your ideas.

The Right Equipment for The Right Job

So - I only recently found this sub, and I think I can get behind the idea of it - but it doesn't look like there's much action here.

So I present to you a topic of discussion:

The Right Equipment for The Right Job.

The One Hitter/Dugout

Good for:

  • Stealth, while alone.
  • 1 or 2 people walking along, or in a setting where no one else partakes.
  • The short walk from the car to the Movie Theater, or The Car

Bad for:

  • More than 3 people. Smoke. Cash. Pack. Smoke. Let it cool. Pack. C'mon, folks. This isn't the party we'd all like it to be.

Great for:

  • Impressing saplings.

The Joint

Good for:

  • 1-5 people.
  • No hassles expected.
  • Isolated places.
  • Camping
  • Private parties
  • Rooms where your parents aren't going to walk in.

Bad for:

  • Your old bedroom in your parents' house. They stink, and are hard to put out without wasting whatever's left of it.
  • Same with cars.

Great for:

  • Seriously deep talks with your significant other or best frient while listening to classic rock in candlelight.

The Blunt

Good For:

  • Mostly the same as a joint.

Bad For:

  • Mostly the same as a joint.

Great for:

  • Street-cred.

The Brass-Component Build-A-Pipe

Good For:

  • 4 or More people.
  • Concerts
  • Laser Light Shows
  • Outdoors (Rugged)
  • Easy to Snuff out if you have a lid

Bad For:

  • Airports *(Although, True Brass parts have gotten past metal detectors - or so the legends go)
  • Anywhere you'll be searched

Great for:

  • Music Festivals as long as you can sneak it in. Or Burning Man.

The Glass Pipe

Good For:

  • 1-8 people
  • Indoors, where carpeting abounds.
  • Getting past metal detectors

Bad for:

  • Rock Climbing
  • Stealth

Great for:

  • The Living Room, in front of the TV. Or while writing in your diary.

I'll stop here, and give you all a chance to contribute.

How do you evaluate your products?

As stated, really. I love the bud I get, and pay fair market price for it. Partly because it's reliably good weed, but also because the service is just amazing (he delivers, always super friendly, etc.). He always gives me strain names when he sells, but they're names I've never heard of. However, plenty of my friends seem to be happy buying shwag, which is much cheaper.

Personally, I describe "best weed ever" as being AAA, but ultimately, I know that doesn't mean much.

Conversing high? I had a bad experience at party.

I was at a party/get-together last night, there was no alcohol but I brought my mflb since I thought I would enjoy sharing it if the opportunity arose.

It was sort of a reunion for a bunch of semi-friends from high school after a year and a half of college. I discovered that I wasn't the only Ent, so I invited a few people to the porch to enjoy the vape.

Anyway I got higher than I normally do on my own; which I discovered is way too much for socializing with sober people. When I got back to the party I felt like the high prevented me from being sociable. I just wanted to sit and do nothing, and when I somebody talked to me I got really anxious that I couldn't follow the conversation. I felt like I had lost my ability ability to talk to people, and that feeling is what got me anxious when I was expected to talk.

All in all it wasn't a good experience until I came down significantly and was chilling with fewer people.

My question to you all is, can you successfully get high in a situation where there are lots of sober people talking to you? Perhaps just by vaping/smoking a lot less?

Maybe I should leave the trees for smaller groups, more chill environments. Thoughts?

Tobacco-free filler for spliffs?

Howdy, ladies and gEnts!

What botanicals, other than tobacco, could serve as a good mix in a spliff, to ensure steady burning and to cut back on amount of cannabis used? I was considering some of the milder items on Erowid's plants and herbs page, like Sinicuichi, Dagga, or even Nepeta cataria.

The goal is to find something that's not very harmful or taxing on the body/lungs but still natural and enjoyable.

Cheers!

I'd love something like this. Just had the idea, hoping someone more tech/computer savvy likes it and freely makes it a reality!

I wish there was some kind of "secret" or "restricted" chat for smokers around the globe. Invitation only, it wouldn't gather the mass of puerile 15 y.o. bob marleys (maybe give em a room).

  • Example: FFFFOUND A super restricted image aggregation site. The quality of the images there is astounding because it was invite only. And fucking hell, there ain't no more invites it seems!

Then I'd enjoy/emphasize some of my sessions by clicking the random button and instantly chatting with a stoner from Slovenia, South Africa, Taiwan or Tennessee about music, this or that strain, ask him/her for a movie to watch now, etc. Then maybe an option to add that stoner to a list or something, I don't know. Shit, even a "trees gone wild" room for those who want to smoke and whatever!

Here's the idea for you guys and girls. If I could produce it, you'd be all invited!

ps: if there's already a website like that... please share :)

*tl;dr: invite-only cannabic chat(roulette?) website to blaze globally. That's a cool name, BlazeGlobal.

THC/CBD Ratio; Are Today's Highs Over Powered by THC?

I don't live in a state with MM but I've always been able to get my hands on high grade weed. When i was a kid (15-17) this wasn't the case and I always usually smoked midgrade weed. As I've gotten older the experience of getting high has gotten less magical. (even though this hasnt stopped me from smoking every week) I figured this was because of my tolerance, but after trying some green dragon I've realized that the "magic" of being high isn't lost, it's just been over powered by THC.

When I smoke I usually take bong rips or hit my MFLB, I enjoy being high but definitely tend to over analyze things in a paranoid worrisome manner. From what I've read THC contributes to the paranoid aspect of the high. After taking green dragon I felt that euphoric, awe inspiring high i remember from my teens. I was wondering if anyone agrees with me on this.

Can hash be made into other, more potent, forms.

For instance, if I have powder or Moroccan hash, is there a process that can make it into bubble or wax?

Anybody ever try Silkroad?

The only dealer I know in town has fell under the radar and I've pretty much been dry for months. As great as tolerance breaks are, this has gone on for far too long. I've been considering using Silkroad to get my bud and was wondering if anyone has actually tried it. Does it work as advertised? What was your experience? Did anything troubling happen? Did the package reek? I want any details you can throw at me because I'm very curious about the site.

Single-strain vs. Blends

Good evening gents,

Much like fine scotches, I have imbibed in both single-malt and blended scotch, as well as in single-strain bowls and mixed-strain "salad" bowls.

Which do you prefer?

Does smoking trees impair memory?

I've been using marijuana for several years now, and one thing I still hear quite frequently is that regular marijuana use negatively affects memory.

I would appreciate if somebody might confirm or refute this claim and provide links to evidence (scholarly studies, etc.) as I sometimes feel like my short term memory is suffering. But that could obviously be attributed to a number of different things.

any gEnt growers out there?

I was just wondering if any of my fellow gEnts were small time, personal use growers as well. We are connoisseurs after all, and I have found one of the best ways to modify or insure quality is to do it myself. The whole process helps you appreciate cannabis, and especially yours, so much more. I am not certain if there is really a question in all that, I just wanted to see some friendly grow op discussions.

New Gent here, my commendation on your community.

I have been an ent for awhile and have always felt that what the cannabis community needed was a group which recognized the many types and qualities of cannabis, enjoyed savoring these differences, and which also demonstrated that cannabis consumption can be a gentlemanly and relaxing endeavor. I am glad I found you guys, and gals. Edit: I appreciate all the love gEnts.

How can we be role models Gents?

I've noticed that this subreddit has a lot of good thinkers and polite tokers. I really can't say the same for r/trees or even some ents I know in IRL. The cannabis community is at a volatile point right now where many people are starting to open their minds to the legality of marijuana even if they themselves don't smoke. These people are examining the people that do smoke and unfortunately making generalizations based upon their actions. As role models, its our job to make sure that these are good generalizations.

So what are some ways that we can positively influence the community and establish a good reputation for all Ents?
