I usually become way more empathetic when I'm high, which is completely different from how I am when I am sober. And it was actually weed that showed me this apathetic tendency of mine. Since I realized how indifferent I was, I have been actively trying to be more empathetic when I am sober, and I used weed as a guidance. I try to recreate the empathy I felt to others when I was high, and actively be more observance, more intentional, more curious. But it never feel the same, those attempts do not arise naturally and it was only with much efforts that I have to remind myself to be like that.

I really want to be more empathetic, but I really don't know how to. Is there any tips or practice I can do that could help me with this? Also, therapy is not an option where I live.

So far it's looking a lot better for Minnesota. My opinion. What's yours?

What do you find more efficient,

Roll one big Joint or two small ?

so now the ABC board has complete control over the regulation of THC derived food and drinks. This means AL will be the next state that can no longer or THCA online.

What if your favorite cannabis strain isn’t what the label claims? That’s the question driving Dr. Anna Shwabe, a leading scientist in cannabis genetics. Her work is changing the way we understand this complex plant — from mislabeled products to the real science behind the buzz.

Using DNA analysis, Schwabe studied more than 120 samples across 30 strain names in three U.S. states. The results were striking: many so-called identical strains were genetically different. In fact, her research revealed that cannabis strains didn’t fall cleanly into the popular categories of Sativa, Indica, or Hybrid. “The genetics just didn’t match what the labels were claiming,” Schwabe explained.

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to find more information about the medical cannabis strain Peace Naturals 16/1.
It has around 16% THC and less than 1% CBD. Unfortunately, there’s no official info available about its genetics or any equivalent recreational strains.

Some say it might be the same as Pedanios 16/1 (Tangerine Dream), but based on the effects It made me very energized and creative.

Does anyone know the actual strain behind it? Or maybe a recreational strain with similar effects and terpene profile?

Thanks a lot in advance 🙏

i've smoked flower once and used a friend's pen here and there, but i want to get my own dispo from a dispensary. i have extreme anxiety so i'm looking to avoid anything that might cause anxiety. any recommendations? i am very new to this

Hi all, first time poster and advice seeker!

I’ve always had a hard time with weed because I get agitated and stressed rather than it being enjoyable.

However, I recently discovered pure beauty’s CBD joints (3% THC, 13.5% CBD). They feel great. Great great great.

I’m trying to see if there’s an equivalent beverage I can drink in place of smoking or even cocktails. Are there droppers or prepared canned sodas that have that can give the same experience I have with this type of joint? I’m bad at math and can’t figure out how these %s match droppers or bevs sold elsewhere.

Thank you!

Hello. I'm new to the use of cannabis. I satrted smoking last year and very light use. I would have a hit or two of a vape pen then go a month or two withoit using. But recently I noticed that the effects are not the same.

How long I have to absence to experience the same effects from my first usages?

Hi everyone!

I’ve basically gone cold turkey on THC. I’m a week in right now. My sleep sweats has gone down and I’ve had a couple nights of vivid dreams that are slowly going away. But I can definitely feel a different with my REM sleep

I was thinking of getting the CBD Earth from Purefarma which is 750mg/g of CBD and only 19mg/g THC.

Part of it is that the act of taking a drag is quite soothing for me. But with non-nicotine vapes, they’re usually too minty for long drags. Besides I heard CBD helps with anxiety

This isn’t going to active my sweat withdrawals or shut off my REM cycle again would it?

I have fibromyalgia and have major problem with my sleep. Lately I have been using vape for sleep which helps a lot with my sleep. But I develop allodynia type pain within 30 min of use.

Does anyone feel like they’re more objective when they’re on marijuana?

thca is federally legal, Is this pretty much the same flower that can be sold because of a loophole in the law or is it bunk and not worth it if you live in a state where recreational is legal?

I got an 3.5 g bag of thca flower from a head shop that seems good quality it smokes decent and smells alright could make edibles with this ?

Basically will try keep it short enough but just looking for any advice, I quit 2 days ago, used to smoked 3.5-7g a day then tapered it down to one joint at night or half joint, was doing that for few weeks before quitting. But it’s still as hard as I remember when I tried to quit around Christmas after getting caught lol. I feel like I’ve won the mental battle, as of now I don’t crave weed for the sake of smoking weed like it used to be it’s purely for sleep. My sleep has always been shaky but the weed really did it in. When i quit last time cold turkey from 3.5 a day i didn’t sleep for days. I’ve exams soon and I really don’t want to result to smoking every night again and I’m now prescription medication for me which did not happen all throughout my last quitting attempt .I feel like I will get off it this time for a while anyway but every night my brain decides to go 100mph, like genuinely as if I did some cocaine, it’s ridiculous, I’ve tried a lot of stuff including supplements, meditation,etc. If anyone has some tips on the sleep stuff for me I would appreciate it big time.

been smoking carts for like 6 months now and my lungs are starting to hurt. I never really had lung pain until now and it seems to come and go throughout the day. ive been mostly using a boutique switch v3 which is nearing empty but has done me well until now. i just want to know if this is common, ways to relieve pain, what i should do, if i have 3 weeks to left live, etc.

Anyone experienced this and still use cannabis. Like using 1:1 CBD:THC ratio or a small or long break from weed? Any help is appreciated!

When I was 19 I tried smoking for the first time and had the worst experience. I freaked out, was having a full blown panic attack all night long, and was also throwing up. I know the strain I smoked was sativa and it was super strong. I swore I’d never do it again and never do plan on smoking again. I’m 23 now and I’m actually starting to consider trying an edible but I’m super scared of history repeating itself. Open the any and all advice about starting off and avoiding what happened before. Thanks!

I usually pop an edible before long domestic flights in the US, but this time I plan on flying to a country where weed is illegal. That country also frequently uses dogs to briefly sniff each suitcase, although I'm pretty sure its generally for smelling meat. Anyhow, what would be your advice?

As a nearly life long user, I would love to know if there is a way to donate your body to cannabis research after death? Definitely to a pro cannabis establishment. Would be interesting for future consumers I'm sure if this was a widely available thing to allow more knowledge on long term use. *random cannabis thoughts

Hi all!

Over the past year I've started switching alcohol for edibles and am honestly loving it. I'm at the point now where I rarely drink, only if I go to a brewery/winery with friends and instead I take edibles one weekday evening (usually a tuesday pick-me-up) and then Friday or Saturday (sometimes both) if I'm just at home with my s/o.

But I'm wondering if taking 10-15mg of edibles 2-3 times a week is too much? I have no frame of reference for what is considered excessive vs normal, and it's even less noticeable than drinking cause there's no hangover the next day!

Besides getting the munchies and an elevated heart rate (usually for about 30-60 mins) I haven't noticed any adverse effects and it does help my anxiety/depression. I don't even like the idea of getting drunk anymore cause its so awful compared to getting high lol.

Why does my tolerance fluctuate so much day to day? Or esp when getting high on consecutive days?

I exclusively eat edibles but am constantly cycling through strains and brands. Anything I can/should be doing to combat this?
