legal recreational pot in CA

[bruceflinch]

I will grow some. I love outdoor gardening.
I like smoking pot too. Especially since I'm mature...

Have you read the home growers thread? That doesn't look too easy to me.

But it's a fooking weed, man!

Lol

Nah, it really isn't that hard.

Think of it like a rose bush. People fuss over them to get the perfect flower. But if you totally neglect it, it'll still probably produce.

It took me a year to learn the ropes but had I had more guidance I'd have had success faster. Invest in a small tent, an LED light system (for cheapest cost for electricity and least heat), set up a fan system and you can have plants in 3 months. You can even keep it super super easy and use an autoflower strain and run it 24/7 till completion. Biggest things to look out for is adequate nutrients, and PH balancing the water. They're pretty resilient, I used to treat them like flowers and now I'm not afraid to toss them around a little.

If you have all your ducks in a row, including your full retirement, knock yourself out. If that is not the case, and you are spending 200-300 a month that is money you should be putting into your old age fund.

Odd, I haven't seen you post this warning in any of the beer or alcohol threads on BARF.

Yeah, having to go to a dispensary is not my scene. Don't care for weed culture.

The convenience on a whim is the only chance there would be of me buying weed.

You know how I know you've never been to a dispensary before? Because you're assuming they're all the same.
Ever been to a shitty fast food joint on the side of a freeway? Would you use that metric to dissuade a friend from visiting The French Laundry? Probably not, because they are literally worlds apart.
I can have a shady lookin dude in a Camaro deliver medicinal to my door, or I can visit a very posh dispensary that looks nothing like a place that slings weed.

i am not a smoker, never will be. i've seen enough people gasping for air on their last days on earth. not going to introduce another risk to endanger my health. if there happens to be well-established bakeries that crop up in the future making premium goods, i might try a sample ...

Lung performance paranoia aside, there are dozens and dozens of bakeries churning out edibles right meow. Amazingly tasty products, everything from candies and cookies to savory treats and soda pop.
If you're going to wait until Hostess and the like start making weed food then I can't help you but if you're looking to try some consistent thc-infused food, you're pretty much at ground zero.
There are also several BARFers that make their own edibles if you're seriously interested in trying it out....in fact I have cookies made already and am about to make another batch of butter for more.

 

[ScarySpikes]

In the few experiences I've had with weed (as in 2)

Either fuck all happens and I feel a bit cheated, or I start feeling really freaked out and trapped in my head because my brain still wants to go at normal speed and my senses and speech are in the slow lane.

Not my drug, have no problem with the people who go for it though.

^ Hey Jennifer, Please exercise extreme restraint when dabbling in edibles. You can't get seriously injured, but can can FEEL like you are going to die if you get impatient. Baby steps on those. like baby, baby baby steps.

 

[mean dad]

Oh shit, I didn't realize you're a Jennifer. That makes you a girl, which means I should have offered you some weed butter and tried to make a date out of it...or at least asked if you're hot.

I apologize to the male BARFers for my lack of leghumping on this day.


Jennifer, you should totally come over to my house and try my edibles IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

Hey I can bake too!

I am an expert in linearly-distributed waterfowl allocation issues...in other words I can get all your ducks in a row.

tanks for the warning Mike. i genuinely appreciate that.

i am extremely paranoid about everything anyways. my bf stocks up on champagne in the house (That I can tolerate) so that i can seriously relax

^ I have had sugar cubed sized brownies that knocked me on my ass. I have also been WAY too impatient for an effect and ended up spending the night curled up on the bathroom floor in the fetal position. Don't do that.

Using a regular sized cookie kit, cook an eighth in a half/full stick of butter(whatever the instructions call for) and and mix it very very very very very very thoroughly, then eat half of a 3" diameter cookie and wait 30min or so. This is what I do and I have no tolerance built up, so it's a good noob starting point imo.

If you get too high, tell yourself that it's a result of too much weed and that it will pass. Stay calm and try to distract yourself with soothing music or going for a walk.

Smoke (or eat) weed with a high CBD content to bring you down if you're too high. Not only is this an old wive's tale, but it has been clinically proven.


For some quick relief of paranoia or anxiety (whether brought on by weed or not), chew on whole peppercorns. It calms yo tits.

I'm dropping an ounce and a half in 2 sticks of butter, pussy.

DECARBOXYLATE YOUR WEED BEFORE MAKING EDIBLES. Cook that shit at 240 for a half hour or so. Turns non-getting-high molecules into getting-high molecules. SCIENCE, BITCH.
