How do yall dab without scent or the scent dissipating. Everyone says my room smells given I don’t have a window but I have an air purifier I just bought and I use a smoke buddy thing

Hey all so my cart is still half way full. Using a normal screw top cart one 10somethuny screw fit .

I tried clearing with a paper clip

I tried sucking through until I get air, when the vape is not attached to the bottom with heat, air comes through but when I screw it in.. no air comes through. This is not the case with other carts

Brand of the cart is high garden if that matters

Anyone got ideas? Thanks in advance

as the title suggests, i’m really in need of a tolerance break. i’ve been using low dose edibles(generally 5mg up until a couple months ago) to manage my chronic pain and migraines. however, my mental health has kinda plummeted and I got in the habit of using 10-30mg regularly and now 10mg hardly gets me high any more. if anything I just feel hazy and I really don’t enjoy it. the caveat is that I will get a horrific migraine within 48 hours of stopping. I tried back in may and ended up having the WORST migraine i’ve had in a long time(last time was antipsychotic withdrawal). i’m very dependent at this point, and I don’t particularly like that.

i’m in a non-legal state, and my doctors have not been helpful + brush it off. i’m just not sure what to do. do I just hunker down and do it and try to mitigate the oncoming migraine? I react terribly to triptans and my neurologist hasn’t prescribed anything else. I react poorly to most prescriptions I try, so weed has sorta taken that place until I can figure it out. i’m mainly just looking for guidance or advice if someone has been in a similar place.

If I already filled out my I9 would I still have a chance of being drug tested?

I'm 18 and looking to get a med card in california. I've heard you can get it from NuggMD or DrWeedy but are they legit and which one is better.

I just got my medical card and I have been wanting to go get clones in person so I can ask questions and such. I have been having the hardest time navigating the system in Washington and trying to find a place that has them. The place posted on here three years ago closed down.

I have chronic illnesses, majorly chronic pain and chronic fatigue and dizziness and migraine a lot of spine issues but anyway out of 5 years of using it almost daily with some one or two day breaks in the middle every so often I’m finding just my functionality level is getting less Especially when I’m home and using just a few tiny quick hits to help my pain it’s making me more sleepy like for instance I need to go shower now, but I took a few tiny hits of my sativa dominant the strain of PCG peach - , which would normally raise my heart 125 beats a minute Not so much with the heart racing, but I was researching something and then I’m like I need to put my phone down and take a nap but what do I do shower or nap? I don’t know those benefits for both. I’m looking for a remote position I just will need to push off as much as I can during the daytime, but if I need it, I need help navigating this to work around because the last time I was working when I did smoke was two years ago and didn’t affect me as much like it does today but my body has changed in those years and more chronic things have been more flared up and worse since then . Might have Lyme , have a co infection of it .

any input and experience on this would truly be appreciated. My pain : inflammation : muscle spasm responds best to Terpene caryophyllene and CBG cannabinoid dominant in those . I just really can’t have this high limonene like in this strain , it’s 2nd highest but It’s too anxiety provoking. I will be doing some research on this, but any input would be valued.

Hi there I would love some input . So I’m curious here as I am going to be applying for remote work from home positions ( this is nothing extremely professional, I’m not a dr for example ) that will be applying to . Who knows though it depends how professional I will need to be if it phone related. but I would just be doing remote work from home with flexible hours most likely, I don’t know what the position will be, but it most likely will involve talking on the phone , I’m Sure on the computer as well . No clue if there will be zoom calls . I’m looking at various jobs and types and what fits best with my chronic illness and pain and attending to my health and dr appts .

but when I get a work from home position and i need the more hybrid Indica( tiring ) strains for my pain, how do you incorporate that into your workday ? I don’t want to sound stoned i don’t want to feel sleepy and be as attentive as possible . I might just be doing data entry and don’t need to be on the phone I don’t know yet but thinking of the possibilities while I’m applying for these positions . Only part time work . Sativa doesn’t really help My pain( chronic pain and migraine and Tmj gets severely painful after eating ) - sativa gives me too much anxiety. What do you do? Do you just try to be and talk as normal and more cautious than normal?this is something that yeah some days I can push off till evening time but sometimes it’s necessary to control my pain to use at least a little bit of cannabis in the daytime. I smoke . Not edible often .

Thanks so much 💗

i just got approved for the CA MMJ Rec Digital and i'm confused as to whether the document they sent me is all i need. it says Physician recommendation and statement at the top—do i still need to apply for a card now, or can I just show this at dispensaries? there's a QR code and patient number and stuff

Hello,

I had my first panic attack maybe 10 years ago, and I've always dreaded the feeling... I'd have general anxiety about it, constantly seeking ways to resolve the issue (that honestly was a one off case). But fast forward I actually induced panic attacks by smoking THC.. and it's very strange because after this panic attack I feel AMAZING.... Like literally the best ever, super clear mind and everything. Last night I had an hour long panic attack that I honestly don't really remember being that long, it went by so fast, but it was so intense, I wanted to run away and everything, additionally I had CRAZY tremors.. like full body tremors. but I felt like i connected with my inner child, I calmed myself down and almost resolved inner turmoil I've had...

Basically what I'm trying to say here is this. What if marijuana is just a way to expose ourselves to inner fears? Almost like dreams, but in real time? It's a very strange awakening, if anyone has any insight I'd love to hear about it. I cant wrap my head around how AMAZING I feel after these panic attacks. Thank you.

Hi everyone!

I’m currently a graduate student currently working on a project related to medical marijuana usage. I'm looking for insights from medical marijuana users, healthcare professionals, and recreational users to help guide my research. The purpose of this project is to better understand the challenges that users face, particularly around dosing and tracking usage, and to explore how different tools could help improve the experience. This research will ultimately help in creating solutions that address real issues faced by the community.

If you use medical marijuana or have experience as a healthcare professional dealing with marijuana patients, I'd love to ask a few questions to learn from your experience. Below are some of the questions I have in mind, but feel free to share anything else you think might be important!

Questions:

• How do you currently measure or manage your marijuana dosage?
• Can you tell me about a time when you struggled with using medical marijuana effectively?
• What challenges do you face when trying to control the effects of marijuana?
• Do you keep track of how much you’re consuming? If so, how?
• If you could change anything about the way you currently use marijuana, what would it be?
• How do you feel about having a tool that helps you track your marijuana usage over time? Would it be helpful to you?
• What challenges do you commonly see patients face with marijuana usage, particularly around dosage and consistency?
• Are there tools or methods that you or your patients often use to help manage dosage better? What has worked well and what hasn't?
• Would a social aspect (like comparing consumption with friends) interest you, or do you prefer privacy?
• How receptive do you think people would be to using technology to help with tracking or improving their marijuana experience?
• What do you think could be done to make managing marijuana consumption easier for people, whether for medical or recreational use?

Feel free to drop a comment or message me directly. Your responses are incredibly valuable and will only be used for this research. If you’re comfortable, I’d be happy to do a short Zoom call for more detailed feedback as well.

Thanks so much for your help!

just turned 18 yesterday! went to nuggmd, they quoted 170. is there any place i could go to (online or in-person) for a cheaper med card? thanks!

For context I have gastroparesis and have been on a long path trying to get diagnosed. My mother has been my biggest advocate and tried really hard to support me/help me through this and encouraged me to go to lots of different doctors and even switched insurance so that I could seek better specialists. She doesn't want to watch me struggle and is/has been very worried about me.

My gastroparesis is caused by hormone therapy---hormone therapy that I have to be on for the rest of my life and that I get severely severely depressed and exhausted without. And the only reason I felt safe enough to take it was after I started using weed and knew I had an escape when the horrible nausea and stomach pain started.

I started the process of titrating my HRT earlier this year and have really wanted to tell her that I found the help I've been desperately searching for but I've been too afraid. Her and my father are older and I'm pretty sure anti weed because when I mentioned the possibility of weed or CBD to her as I was researching it, she thought it was snake oil.

However she's a very intelligent woman, someone who regularly sends me scientific research she thinks might help me, and she literally works at NASA. I think if I approach this conversation in a delicate manner, and explain my experience and some of the science supporting weed, she'd listen and even be supportive. All 3 of my older sisters have also been recreational users, and would be able to back me up.

My doctors even know about my marijuana use, and are fairly supportive so I don't see why she wouldn't be.

That being said I'm still very nervous to do so as I still live with her. So if anyone has great research I could point her towards in favor of medical marijuana, or ways to go about approaching the subject, I would very much appreciate it.

Every. Single. One.

I'm looking to apply for a MMJ card for my anxiety, but I get very nervous when talking on the phone. Roughly how long are the phone calls and what are they about? Considering Nuggmd and Dr Weedy, or other options. Thanks!
