I got a medical card here in LA and the prices are outrageous. Getting a dablicator with full spectrum oil seems to be the most cost effective. Trouble is I can't seem to figure out how to use it.

At first I just ate it but I think I wasted $90 because I felt nothing and I don't think it was decarbed.

Next I got some refillable 510 thread vapes and a small syringe to fill it. That has been a pain but it at least works a bit.

How am I supposed to use this stuff? Is it all the same or are there different kinds? Is it decarbed at all or not meant for vaping?

It could be that your battery is lacking power or maybe the stuff you got doesn't vape well and would be better suited for combustion.

I'm a firm believer in ball vapes for just about everything but that doesn't help you.

Honestly I'm thinking of going back to strictly edibles. I love the head high but my lungs hurt.

Dry herb vaping is one of the passions in my life but that's also because I grow my own. It may not be the best in the world but it's definitely easy on the lungs.

Vaping may not be for you but concentrate through vape pens was always one of the hardest on my lungs. I don't really like 510 vapes for anything but stealth and rapid hits, but today's top end dry herb portables only take a few seconds to heat up. It's been at least a couple years since I've had a cart vape. Anyways, I'm heavily biased....

Edibles can be heady, you just need the right strain and the right method of intake. Sublingual troches aren't that hard to make at home and they offer rapid highs like vaping that can be very heady or very heavy body highs. Weed has a huge rage if you take the time to experiment and find out what strains and what terpenes take care of whatever it is you're using it for. Unfortunately it can also get expensive, and negative experiences tend to stick with people so they don't experiment much.

I am just sour that dry herb is 3x the price it was on the black market, at the legal dispensary. I need to move to a green state, tired of the south

legal dispensary. I need to move

Or, you know, the other thing.

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I am sure there is a black market here but I haven't been able to find it :/. Closest person I could find was in Florida for some reason.

I meant more along the lines of, it doesn't take that much to start growing indoors.

Oh gotcha, Louisiana medical law doesn't let you grow yet and I think felony for growing is much bigger than possession. Can't wait until we are just fully legalized.
