So far I’ve got a popcorn, a trim and a mixed bundle on order. The popcorn arrived a day later to my surprise. So far so good🙌🏼

any scientist with the balls to do his show that high can have a smoke on me

The Pen Pipe! Just turn the metal tip into a bowl brah

Holy shit! Did that in school 15+ years ago. Do kids even have pens at school anymore!?!?!

I bought a device on eBay that screws onto almost any bottle, turning it into a bong. When the bong water gets nasty just throw the bottle away and attach it to a new bottle. It's not completely DIY but it still has some merit nonetheless. Besides, nobody likes dealing with bong water and it's easier to hide when compared to a regular bong.

People we need to turn our bottles into bongs!

where were you . Back in the day I remember so many times we could have used this. why didnt we ever think of this. lol.. love it. thankyou

When we were little the wikihow salesman used to come door to door with books like this

Not a bong

and this is not the Hacker News, chill.

At least he didn't downvote and turn it all grey

Russian Bot

Bit heavy on the toxins but will get you there in times of need.

Thats incredible haha

Consider the Apple Bong.

Dude if Apple made a bong...

It would cost 500 bucks and be worth it

Toilet paper bong is the other end of the market

That they would sell newer versions of there Bong every few months. That cost more then the last one and has miner improvements. Auto makers found it didn't work for them but it has worked for Apple

Dude I thought this but you gotta see the new green one

It would be the most overpriced worthless bong. Haha

If you mean best and don't mind finding some tubing and drilling you will have something that beats most expensive bongs

Cut the bottom off a 2 litre bottle of pop, stick it in a bucket of water, use a milk bottle foil cap to to make a cap and fill with weed. Light it and pull up. Make sure you press down as you inhale.

The bottle and small pipe combo is the most quality and convenience I have ever had the high honor to imbibe.

You take a real simple weed pipe, metal or glass, and stick it in the mouth of the bottle.

If the bottle is plastic use any sharp object to stick a hole at the base.

Hold the bottle horizontally, put a straw in that hole and prepare for a monstrosity of a hit.

If it's a glass bottle you need something super sharp for the hole at the bottom, the tip of a strong knife or an ice pick does the job easily.

Water is optional, you don't need and its hard to balance. The best part of this is no cleanup, chuck the bottle when you are done, imagine a bong with a disposable chamber, that's what you got now bro.

I think what you have there is a DIY steam roller, I had one of these and loved it, yes water is totally optional its the expansion that does the magic and water is almost guaranteed to make a mess.

Haha awesome

Try, a 500 ML soda bottle + a few inches of garden hose + cake icing socket... voila !! Homemade shotgun bong

Shit that works!

Similar to what we done back in the day!

Pringles tube!!

can make joint or burning Bong, put ice cube in base of it..

Delish and mouth piece is big and makes air tight seal on my fat cheeks 👌

i made a spliff bong from a tango doll about 25 years ago. worked great!

all you need is a coke bottle, a down pipe and a bowl and a glue gun.

ive made bongs out of so many things over the years, it more a case of - what cant you make a good DIY bong out of!!!

good luck!!

:)

Some genius Bong ingenuity here!
Another pro cannabis point proven from this topic alone:

You give smokers a bunch of weed and nothing to smoke it with and suddenly they become engineers! Brilliant. : D

My special skill is that I can McGyver a bong out of almost anything.

Basically, as long as you have tin foil you can do anything. Make pipes: a few wraps, tight around a pencil, seal with scotchtape lengthways. Fan out the end before doing so. Tear a circle of tinfoil, and a pin ("anyone wearing a badge?"), open the back page of an unloved book, place the foil on the paper, and tap the pin up and down repeatedly and you have a perfectly serviceable gauze that you can poke in the end of your fanned pipe.

I prefer not to smoke out of anything plastic. Just seems like we know not to burn plastic in the outdoors, so keep that shit away from your lungs, right?

Fruit has always been a friend for the thrown together party bong. Watermelon is obviously beautifully carvable. Always thought a papaya, with its natural internal chamber and a couple of pipes would probably be viable. Poke holes into the fruit with a screwdriver or, if you don't have one, a pencil or pen.

Finally, you can make an incredible ice bong, but it's a faff. Get two barbeque skewers. Place them in a pint glass, of water with the ends 10cm from the bottom of the glass. I made an inverted kind of A frame with some tinfoil to hold them. If you do the same, keep the crossbar out of the water. Freeze the glass.

Boil the kettle. Use a combination of twisting and pulling to extract the metal skewers. Then, tilt so that one side is facing down over a sink and slowly pour boiling water into the holes. Eventually, you'll have a bong. Make a tin foil gauze. Smoke like a muthafking champion.

Small Fanta bottle, they're already the right shape. Lighter to make holes on front and back in the right places for a rush/carb and a downpipe. Then use a bit of garden hose for downpipe with a bit off a socket set in the end to use as a cylinder cone. Then either a circle cutting from the metal gauze in a coffee percolator as a screen, or a piece of foil with some pin holes in, or just a small ball of foil. Schmoke it up in style, all for the price of a small bottle of Fanta. 💚💦

The simplest bong/pipe I made was a used can of coke.Dent the can enough to rest weed on and put pinholes in it, simples!

Some of my favourite emergency methods...and I consider myself a bit of an expert...
Pop a L shape hole through an apple, carrott or similar using a kebab stick, scoop out a cone with your fingernail. Chuff away.
"Pin ups" Flip a badge on it's back stick a lump of hash on it, ignite and stick any glass over the top. Slide the glass to the edge of a table and suck the cooled contents out of the gap.
Bamboo Bong - Made by Thai locals in seconds with a couple of swipes of a machete. Scoop some water from a stream and your off.
Papaya stem (hollow with a coney end) straight into a cola bottle seal the neck with your lips and finger. Hey presto. Indonesian bong.

A milk bottle

Jesus, so that's why we still call it weed today

Was catchier than Dried Pubes

I started smoking weed in '70, and the main difference I can tell between late 70s and now is that back then sinsemilla was just a part of the market, with a lot of packages containing seeds and more leaf and stem (amount varied with price). Today it's all sinsemilla (so much so that the term isn't even used anymore). The quality is pretty much the same. We had thai sticks and Hawaiian that certainly equaled top shelf strains of today (as far as anyone could tell - there wasn't much precision on reporting THC levels). I'm happy with the situation, but I stopped smoking between about '83 and 2009 (job), and wasn't amazed by any changes in potency; just the fact that it's all sinsemilla. I did feel silly when I first got back in the market and asked a seller whether or not his product was sinsemilla and he didn't know wtf I was talking about. I quickly found out that was a stupid question... :>)

I remember references to what I thought was the "sense" now I get that was sinsimilla :) Thanks

Yep, that's what it was called. Just Spanish for "without seed". Speaking of Spanish, if we could find Oaxacan sinse we considered ourselves lucky, because it was just about as good as Thai but cheaper. Availability (in my part of Texas) wasn't reliable at all though. Now, it's like going to the weed supermarket. We're living in the future in that sense. Life is good and getting better...

Alternate title: The Current State of Irish Cannabis

LMAO

Started smoking back in the 80s red leb ,black.good shit joints or hot knives they rocked.

Yeah bro the stuff with the cloth attached to it, red leb think there was gold leb too it was lovenly stuff. Early 90s.

How did people live with that? With the way weed has gone it's a different world and are kids will think the same as are weed lol

Let's hope there's a little weed in their shunt/ brain interface

Cannabis has came a long way

I was there from 1972-ish, it was mostly pretty good in the Uk depending who you knew, or what grew ;) Avoiding the street ofc.

Most of the pictured weed was grown outdoors on a hillside without fertilisers, boosters and the other shit habitually used today.

I partook in the some of the countries of origin at the time too, thank you Magic Bus. I preferred hash at the time and still do, real Temple Balls were trippy, Leb was a knockout and the black in the Dam was unbelievable and so on. Impossible to get around here, so pleased to have found LB at last!

Vaguely remember smoking some stuff looking similar to that here in the UK circa late 90s.

Gave it up for breat feeding and just came back!!

Welcome back and enjoy!! 😊

wait you just gave me an idea :)

Same here momma!

Yaaaaaaas. First time momma yoo

Yes, hi!

I love it! Hi mamas! Hope LB is treating you well :)

Hi BudBoy! 10% yield on dry bud is a bit low, but since your talking about sub standard bud than it's possibly a very nice return. depending on bud quality of course. I can give you quite a few great tips but I think it's better to send you straight to the source - the great hashishin 'Frenchy Cannoli' (assuming you don't already know the legend) that's the guy that basically taught me and many, many other how to do it right. I'd most recommend his youtube series called "the lost art of hashishin". as I see it, 4 major point are the most important though - 1) use a full mesh bags rather than bag with plastics sides and bottom mesh only. 2) pre-soak your buds to avoid it breaking into small particles that might sneak into your hash. 3) use coldest water possible with the littlest amount possible of ice blocks in it to avoid breaking plant matter into your hash. 4) wash your material multiple times to produce most of the trichomes out of your bud. this and more, Frenchy does explain very well. about selling water hash - to produce water hash in commercial quantities and great quality there's a need for high tech gear, massive amount of bud, which was harvested in the right time frame, cured to the right position and carefully handled up to the extraction process. after all this, you may produce high grade bubble hash which will cost the same as any pure concentrate such as bho/rosin/wax/shatter/etc... I've actually tried to produced some bubble hash to sell on my shop out of medium-high grade outdoor bud (which was grown to be sold as bud) the outcome was pretty high grade but too low in quantity the price I should've charge for it ought to be so high I just gave up selling it and consumed it my self :-) I haven't gave up trying though and might make another try doing so with some home grown A grade bud sometime in the future. hope this helps in anyway. cheers!!

Frenchy Cannoli was a true master! Very sad to lose him this year :(

Just want to say that I know the title is a mistype but every time I see "water has returns" I feel like it's some deep statement being made, or at least I do until I remember it's hash not has 🙂

Anyhow it always sends my brain of into all sorts of zen like questioning and never fails to improve my day 👍

Take care ☁️🐰☁️

Brush your teeth then take the lucky person from behind.

What Cley said :D

Maybe time to switch to a vaporiser

i always get an orange after i smoke a joint, the citrus gets the smell out of my beard. it's even doable for work if you get down wit da peels.

thc/weight is measured by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). basically they measure light absorption from cannabinoids.

good explanation here:

Hi, the main method for cannabis testing has been chromatography which is the process of separating compounds of a sample into individual weights and measuring the results against known reference standards of known concentrations and weights.

We use a Gas Chromatograph with Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID) which vaporises the sample and pushes it through an ultra thin polarity matched column which then ionizes the molecules adding a charge and then they are run through a magnetic field and then the detector measures the weight accordingly as in heavier molecules will bend less to the magnetic field, it then records the data on a graph, response vs time, when the reference chemical standard is used its response and time is recorded to calibrate the machine and samples can be measured against it, for their concentrations and identification.

An HPLC-MS High Performance Liquid Chromatograph coupled with Mass Spectrometer is the most accurate in general. The Liquid Chromatograph does not vaporise the sample and tests the liquid form which has advantages and disadvantages when testing cannabis, for instance terpenes due to their volatile nature have been better detected on a GC. Testing for THCa, CBDa the acid form of the organic molecules can be done mainly on a LC.

All these methods are great provided the sample is prepared correctly and all your compounds of interest have extracted efficiently in your solvent. With different types of samples different methods of prep need to be employed as what the sample is can inhibit accurate results.

It’s certainly a bummer that mail order illegal drugs traded with crypto don’t come with some federated gold seal of authentication but it’s the cross we just have to bear!
That said there are sellers on here keen to share their methods and lab test results and seem to take a lot of pride in highly rated products that sell well over long periods of time rather than the “quick and dirty, kill you, get out” business model.
Suspend all disbelief or “just say No”....

thanks for the response, i think its the fact that you cant tell when a vape is bad for you that freaks me out because it can still get you high while having all that shit in it rather than you being able to tell off the bat if its synthetic stuff like with normal weed, i might just bite the bullet and see if i can find a well regarded one as ive been meaning to get into vaping for a while now.

Actually a legit aspiration if crypto can move trillions and biggy can be policed by reputation why not do better than the legacy authorization systems

Every system comes down to probability unless you can sample everything

Wise choice heli....personally I’m convinced by all my choices from Serial Chiller Labs and while I have yet to try I will be going for G6 Extracts too. There are other very highly rated cart suppliers such as MJ...Great Vapes....or why not just vape your bud?....I just upgraded to The Mighty and it’s a game changer!

mj and serial killer labs carts are fire

say no to drugs the grail but longer postage time heavy hitters is what it says on tin

when i was using the vapes my lungs produced a tonne of mucus, like i was drowning in mucus, could be co-incidence?

Yew!...

You could always vape the herb itself.

Can vouch for Dr Extracts, he also supplies testing, think its called narcocheck, and lab results on his listings.

we dont.

Buy from a brand which produces lab results and uses quality hardware.

https://littlebiggy.org/link/WFEFoV

G6

can vouch for g6 blew my mind flavour amazing and it was deffo weed with no shite!

worth the price as it lasts ages and works fantastic

As other people have said vape bud. I did use carts for times when discretion was required but I think you miss out on the 111 other cannabinoids in weed. New research is suggesting that the terpenes are more central to the psychological effect than previously thought, possibly more so than whether it is indica or saliva. Stay as natural as possible.

Wish more people would learn how important terps are in flower, sick of reading irrelevant and entirely subjective reviews on here from novice tokers about their "energetic and creative" high etc from different strains, leave that for your horoscope forums please and just tell us how it tastes, how it smells and is it clean, end of.

sorry went a bit off topic from the original post there but yeah fuck carts imo, unless you can get undeniable lab proof with matching batch numbers etc i wouldn't go near carts personally, bought one on here ages ago from the highest rated cart seller and i didn't even half finish it, wasn't a natural taste or a natural feeling med either

have you seen the extractor here? they can test carts for dodgy bits and potency

Get a dry herb vape. Issue resolved

You don't only way is to buy from a dispensary and get the bar code verified, not like these fake barcodes vendors who claim to have barcodes on products fake as they know you aren't able to call the lab to check and all the lab results that are supplied are edited so you can't check even if you wanted

Trust me, they work!

You don’t. Plenty of bud and hash about though

Sativa/Indica may not be scientific but most people report a difference in the effects including me. Broadly speaking I find strong sativas give a cerebral energetic high (possibly with some nervous energy/anxiety) and indicas relax the body reducing focus on pain and discomfort (possibly inducing coach-lock and sleep).
Most strains are now hybrids giving a blend of those effects and it depends what you are looking to get as to your choice.

You should look at THC strength. Pot is getting stronger all the time and 16-18% is now becoming 28-30% before even getting on to concentrates. There is little point in hitting the strong stuff first- you are better of building up to it.

Many people chase flavours and rave about the ‘lip smacking ‘ qualities of a strain. Vaping at low temperatures is very good for flavour. Others go for aromas, others will only touch bud that looks good enough to have sex with ! 😳

The good news is that they are all right here right now! 🥳

You can go on to a site like leafly and put in exactly what you want from your weed and it will make suggestions- then come back here and chances are good you’ll find some.

Discovery is half the fun- I currently have 26 strains on the shelf which is ridiculous but I love them all!🤪

Enjoy 👍

we need an app for this

Resin is a term applied to the vast majority of concentrates from hash to shatter but rosin is specifically pressed with heat in order to extract without the use of solvents. Rosin is therefore a resin but resin is not necessarily rosin.

think of rosin as the best resin, right above live resin?

I have a rosin press and plates I'm looking to sell if you need

Resin needs expensive equipment to purge the residual solvent that's left from the solvent used in extraction, this is often not done perfectly. Rosin just uses pressure and heat. I've been pressing for some time now, it is fascinating to see the different textures and terpenes that come out it really is trial and error with temp and pressure, where you aren't destroying terpenes or darkening the finished product.

I've used heat-controlled hair straighteners in a vice, as a cheap alternative to expensive presses with pretty good results, helps to use a laser temp gun to keep an eye on the temperatures.

For me, I believe it to be true to a certain extent. I find with sativa heavy strains I feel a buzz in my head and it's above my ears. With indica heavy it's below my ears and I'm definitely more lazy. It's not a massive difference for me though. My mind tends to wander and think about more random bollocks with a sativa too. Who knows maybe it's all in the mind. All this energetic stuff I see is pure bullshit for me though. If I'm high, not much is getting done.

after 18 years of heavy daily smoking, in my experience indica + sativa are just buzzwords, mostly used by trendy casual smokers so they can "pick a side and have a favourite"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5576603/

in my experience the terpenes play a way more important role when it comes to the overall effects and experience of each strain, i've had sativa's that couchlock and indica's that are uplifting and energetic which are the opposite of their supposed effects

There are many factors that contribute to an overall feeling. I wouldn’t say Sativa/Indica is the dominating answer. That’s like saying my only expression is sad or happy... However, things get a bit more technical when you dig into it. Being able to simply explain an estimate sensation to buyers in percentage i20s80 is hugely beneficial. It helps people learn about what they’re buying, that’s not a bad thing

Seems the terpenes have a part to play, In the effect of cannabis aswell. not to mention that it seems a good %90 of strains are hybrid, you have an Interesting take non-the-less.

The science says it’s bollocks full stop.
BUT…like a lot of people I have go to strains for when I want to get stuff done and others for when the bean-bags are calling. All part of the fun! 🥳❤️

It’s all about harvest times. If you let the sativas trichromes go amber, then you might get a couch lock. Similarly if you harvest your indica when the trichromes are clear, then you might feel creative and focused;)

I don’t know really. A lot of it is down to the grower and how good they are. That has the most influence on affect for me.

I too have about 20 years experience smoking different strains, including solids. I normally smoke 'bud' though.

The last solid i smoked had hardly any effect on me at all - it used to make me really 'horni', 20 years ago.

However, i do notice a difference between Indicas and Sativas. I do a physical job and an Indica strain does take the aches & pains of old age away, for me personally.

Ive had one particular Sativa that did make me run around like a headless chicken... lol

Interesting post, I have been thinking the same myself recently. Been smoking 20 years and I have always seeked out indicas as I preferred the couch lock but I have recently been trying to try a few sativas to try and get more of a creative high. found nothing yet, any suggestions on a strain if not just looking for a sativa?

The MVA used for rx is grown by some humans labelling themselves breath of life. It's 20%THC,4%CBD,1%CBN. My friend described it as "tight nuggets, extremely resinous-good quality". I trust his opinion.Hes been smoking for decades and grew his own for over 30 years till Parkinson's put a stop to that. Hope this helps,man.

Mine arrived today, and yes, your friend is absolutely correct Nick!

I think they told me that it is grown in Israel. As you'd expect it is very good quality. It's a shame it's an indica as this is enough indica to last me forever! The date on the label on the resealable mylar bag says best before June 2021 btw, and I'm quite sure I can't finish it before then.
Alas there wasn't a sativa option besides some drops that were very weak. It would have been 30ml of the strongest one for £150 and that still would have been nowhere near as strong as MJs, which doesn't do much for me, so I decided ***k that, and just got the bud.

I have heard of it

MVA is an Indica that I take for night time use. It has a slight Kush smell & is 20%THC & 4% CBD. It is good for aches & pains & Insomnia but not a very tasty strain.

Great to hear this HTA hope they are banging good :) can you please tell me a bit about how you got to this stage? I’d love to know, I’m trying to go private route but without research as it sounded like quite a bit of form filling, but so far this has been my experience privately anyway! I’d love to hear how the flowers are

Of you do go private(and I don't recommend it) make sure you know what their rx is actually filled with.

Who are you guys private with? I looked into The Medical Cannabis Clinics on Harley St. even booked an appointment, but cancelled as I was worried about the quality of their prescriptions. I read that a lot of the bud on private prescription is rubbish. I know prices on here are high, but I’d rather buy a half Oz of good stuff on here than spend the same on an Oz of crap through them. Only benefit is that it’s legal.

I’m still open to the idea because of being able to openly discuss with a dr how cannabis helps me and when. I believe that in itself is valuable as well as consistent supply and legality :)

I found that for medical ailments the legal bud does the job, but can get a bit bland taste wise. The THC levels are consistent with what the prescription says.

Obviously some people who are chasing flavours or looking for ‘Cali type bud porn’ weed moan about getting better quality on the BM. I am happy that finally I can get legal meds without having to meet dodgy people or buy digital currency & can openly discuss my THC usage with a doctor.

Shows how backwards we are in the UK with these laws. Even though we appear to be one of the biggest exporters of medical marijuana in the world. Madness!

This is welcome news. If America is adopting this approach to Cannabis, the UK can't be too far behind.

Here's to hope!

heroin and cocaine didn't do so poorly either

Hahaha, Yeah Oregon is going wild!

I'd start mixing your joints with some CBD if you can, seen a few sellers like TGT (TheGreenTeam) selling some at a good price. Head to the item wall, press CTRL + F and type "CBD" and you'll be able to find a few listings.

I've personally never used the stuff but I've read anecdotes from people saying it counteracts the negative side-effects from THC like anxiety, paranoia ect. so it's worth a shot at least!

Buy a weed vape where you can dial down the temperature (Crafty+ or Mighty are brilliant). Lower temps will reveal full spectrum vaping benefits where the THC effects are less prominent. Choose indica strains with 16-18% THC for the s smoothest experience. Look out for CBD dominant strains on here- if these are too weak you cam mix with the indicas…
Good luck! 👍

It's worth investing in a vape. You have much better control over dosage and it's easy to measure and manage low doses

Check my Rainbow Cake should be perfect for you.

whist in the US i found a strain called critical cure which was high CBD

From Barney’s Farm comes CBD Critical Cure (or simply “Critical Cure”), an indica-dominant strain that’s said to combine Critical Kush with a ruderalis variety. With a balanced amount of CBD and THC, Critical Cure can annihilate pain, stress, and inflammation with little psychoactive interference. The indica influence in CBD Critical Cure gives rise to deeply relaxing effects delivered alongside a sweet, earthy flavor.

https://www.leafly.com/strains/cbd-critical-cure

if you find somewhere to get this I highly recommend it, and hook me up.

thank you , i’ll make a post on the wanted page and see if anything comes of it 👍🏻

Solo 2. Used it daily for 4 years. Never cleaned the oven. The glass wipes clean when warm and boil the stem in milk for a potent night cap.

510 threads, you just swap em over. Saves all the iso washing

My pax 3 is easy to clean.

Yeah man, I enjoy a light smoke of a sativa before a work. Gets the heart racing and I find it more fun

I've just come back after a 15yr "tolerance break" haha. Since March I have lost 30kgs/ 4.7 stone / 66lbs, combination of reduced appetite, combined with zoning in to whatever yard work I wanted to tackle.

For 20yrs prior to my "tolerance break", I used to work out high. Whether free weights at home, sweeping the yard, digging a trench, whatever, physical labour and high go together like eggs and bacon.

wow a tolerance break after 15 years of smoking

how did that go!!

hey I got a good woman and fine mother of two beautiful kids out of it haha

I'm glad to be back to myself though - lost >30kgs (70lbs) through dropping booze and undertaking sat-stimmed-supercise (yard work)

Haha, i guess u did win at the end dude, for sure

and thats alot of weight to lose, booze is calorie filled devil juice lol
