I read a suggestion that the popularity of BBC nature documentaries (particularly Attenbrough) in the USA has great correlation with legalised weed.

Almost anything from Storyville.

I must admit, I am a die hard carnivore. But that doc did make me think about eating less meat too. Check Joe Rogan podcast too with the doc maker. Very interesting.

The same here- ended up eating less meat just because I started eating more veg :) Not a black/white path though as there are A LOT of poor quality "vegan"-labelled products with tonnes of salt and things that are much worse than meat.

If you are at all interested in hip hop, check out the BBC Four series "Hip Hop - The Songs That Shook America". I only saw one episode so far, but there are some amazing interviews, old footage and stories.

The new Netflix doc about Biggie is pretty good too.

Vice documentaries

or documentaries by Louis Theroux

i actually have a feeling Louis Theroux is a user here!!

somewhere suspiciously looking for the good stuff

Hahaha and asking a lot of (not so) innocent questions I guess.

Thanks mate

lol yeah suspiciously not so innocent jokes

Peace brother

These new BBC nature docs are great if you have a 4K tv ;) I just got one. The last tv I bought was a cube, so it’s amazing picture ;)

Yeah being high and watching nature docs in 4k is so intense :-)

Yeah Icarus is amazing. I am not sure if a saw The Octopus Teacher, I saw a couple about Octupus and they are amazing creatures. Thanks I will check it

All NOVA docs

True! One of my favorite NOVA docs is Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial.

Have a look at the ihavenotv website, they have plenty of great docs for free

What a fantastic recommendation. Cheers for that.
Some of the stuff on there is fascinating.... especially after a nice vape. :-)==~

Haven't logged in to netflix for a while ahaha

That looks really interesting. Thanks

Murder Mountain - Netflix

Easily the best documentary mini series I've seen in years. And I watch a lot of them. Fascinating if you're interested in the cannabis business, and murder....and weird isolated communities, and loads more.

Just incredible. Seen it 3 times and might watch it again.

Tiger King on Netflix is also pretty good although didn't need to be as long as it was. Seemed to be dragged out over too many episodes.

Cheers BB

Yes, (Murder Mountain) I need to watch that again. Started casually watching that and then couldn't believe what I was watching. Tiger King is fun to watch, but Murder Mountain should just as much credit or hype.

the tiger woods doco on hbo, incredible story

Thanks I will check that out too.

Brothers, what we do in life echoes in eternity. - General Maximus (Gladiator, 2000).

Well once I was listening to Bob Marley's I Shot the Sheriff and had a revelation. I'd never really thought about what he meant in the song and assumed that the 'seed' references were ganja references. But it hit me that the seeds he was referring to were actually his ideas and messages.

Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what I don't know
Every time that I plant a seed
He said, "Kill it before it grows"
He said, "Kill it before it grows", I say

I think it was his way for him to say that the Establishment was trying to silence him.

Here you go, that's as far as my philosophy goes!

I think you may well be right!!

A 'debate' where everyone agrees is proof of indoctrination.

Dont complain to me that the Cats milk is sour when youve been putting salt in it.

I've found branches behind tents after 6+ months. Was very dry but still was very nice. Minimum double bagged and in a Tupperware tub,in your cupboard would be more then enough.

Any airtight glass jar kept in a dark area(cupboard), should last months, might want to burp the jars & turn the bud every month or so....

I saw these things called grove bags. They are curing bags but that means it can be stored in there for long periods and it supposedly preserves the terpenes and keeps a relative humidity. Check them out. They look cool. Cheers UKDD

check out uv blocking stash jars online... buy one thats roughly the same size as the amount your storing... you get jars that will do for an 8th for example

Put it in your freezer, make sure that it's dry enough. Put it in a double plastic bag.

i was just going to say this

the boveda pack works wonders

and sometimes brings too dry nugs back to life

Mylar bags inside a brown (UV blocking) glass pickling jar would be a good bet. I stopped smoking for two years but still had my last 8th ‘in stock’ - it was in a regular baggie inside a coffee jar and it was still pretty good when I cracked it open 2 years later. I think some disintegration is expected regardless of how well it’s stored (but should still be a good high).

Are you LE? I advise anyone against this.

We have been using Dr Dabber switch for a while now this machine is a game changer super consistent and a quality dab

Agreed! I got one a few months ago after watching Getting Doug With High- does plant vaping too- not as well as the top
end herb vapes but decent enough in a pinch! Puffco Peak is a bit smaller and easier to transport, but i lent mine out after getting the Switch, as it’s unlikely i’ll use anything else for concentrates from now on! Super easy to clean too- just an alcohol wipe or a tiny bit of iso around the glass...

I’m in the same boat and I’ve got my heart set on a dr dabber boost evo

Thanks everyone, I'm going to have a look at all your suggestions.

I ended off getting the puffco peak and the puffco plus for when out and about. I'm very pleased with both. The Nevilles Haze Crumble we have tasted amazing in them!

I got a great deal on the Oura, bought it straight from their site with a 30% discount at the time, cracking bit of kit.

https://www.kandypens.com/oura-black.html

I use the core e rig only 165 quid, the new dr dabber boost eco looks good

I've got a Peak and a Peak Pro... I actually prefer the original to the newer one, but probably just because I'm so used to it. I use a Peak daily, and have done for 2 or 3 years now. Definitely the best concentrate vape I've used (almost on par with a torch/nail dab - which I rarely bother with these days).

Yes, they are expensive - arguably over-priced for what they are. But given the Peak's value to my own lifestlye, I'd have paid twice as much again.

Similar units are the Dr Dabber Switch (which can also do hash/herb, but is also very expensive and doesn't dab so neatly) and the Hi-Five Duo. The Duo's pretty good, I use mine as a back up when the Peak needs a re-charge. But it's not that much cheaper.

The Topgreen Xvape Vista Mini Dab Rig seems to be the new cheap option on this front. I've not tried one, but they work on the same principle as the Peak, and cost just under 100 quid.

Alternatively, you could think about vaporizers with 510 attachments that can fit on an ecig/vape mod. I'm a gadget nerd and vape collector, so have some really nice mods I use like that. Get something like a Saionara for concentrates, and that's as portable as it gets!

But I've got all the above (apart from the Vista) as well as a few torch-based dab rigs. I use concentrates day in day out (and smoke an occasional spliff once or twice a week) I'd say I use my Peak 80% of the time, 10% the Saionara when I'm out and about, 5% Duo, 5% torch rigs

Best tobacco substitute for joints is shake. Fills out a joint nicely. Better if it's the little popcorn bud shake, pretty much makes your smoke into a 100%cannabis blunt. I smoked and used tobacco in joints for ten years maybe. Managed to quit using progressively weaker nicotine vape juice and switching out tobacco with shake in joints. Found sometimes just smoking something helped fight the urge. Something about rolling a joint and lighting it up.

Smoked weed for 30 years in joints with tobacco +cigarettes.

Swapped fags for a nicotine vape for 5 years but couldn't find a fix for joints. Tried every pipe and tobacco substitute I could find.

Decided late 2019 that enough was enough and ditched joints for THC vape carts to vape alongside my nicotine vape.

THC carts worked, but I didn't love them and came across Dynavap Jan 2020 and thought it had to be worth a try. That was me sorted. I kept dropping the nicotine in my e-cig until it was nicotine free and I've now ditched it altogether.

Dynavap most evenings, desktop vape back when we used to be allowed friends over, abv edibles for 100% couch lock.

Yeah, agree with a lot of people on here. Stopped smoking about 4 months ago.. started moving from joints to pipes slowly during the day and using the bong at nights. Felt great for it for a while but noticed I was smoking a LOT of plant matter. So moved to concentrates instead for a while but still coughing a lot. I've finally come to the distillate vape cartridges and I feel fantastic. Clean stone, and I'm only toking a few times a day because it's so strong. About the same cost too.. .5ml for 35 quid lasts about 3 days.. same as a half q

I was a pretty heavy smoker for about 13years, cigs and joints. I read the Alan Carr Easyway to stop smoking and it worked for me. I hadn't felt the need for a nicotine stick since! I now only smoke the good stuff now from a nice little bong. Takes about 4 weeks to read the book and you can smoke while you read. It doesn't work for everyone but if you want to cut out the baccy, this can help. Tobacco and nicotine is the enemy. Weed Is the solution!

Get a vape;) you can even vape tobacco if you can’t quit smoking it.

buy a decent dry herb vape (I recommend one with a convection oven).

- you'll get your money back eventually from not buying tobacco
- it's a more efficient way to smoke since there's no combustion
- you can use the already vaporized bud AVB for making weed butter etc

Personally I taste the weed better when vaping and it never burns your throat so you don't spend the next day coughing like you have covid or something.
That said I still prefer a joint from time to time especially with mates :)

I’m using hemp flower as a tobacco replacement, you can buy it legally online and it’s bud but without THC (try
www.cleverbotanics.com). I mix it with hash or proper weed when wanting to roll a spliff. The only downside is the legal bud can drown out any taste from the good stuff but it work the same :)

When I quit smoking, I booked a week off work, bought a big bag of weed and a pipe, did a big shop to make sure I didn’t need to leave the house for anything, shut myself at home in my PJs and smoked myself silly. Every time I had a craving for a cigarette I blazed another big pipe of pure weed. Got absolutely caned for days and days... and came out the other end not wanted to smoke tobacco ever again!

Get yourself a nice pipe and replace the joints with pipe hits. I used to be a smoker and quit before I started smoking weed. But I used a vape and eventually lowered the nicotine dose and just eventually fucked off the vape shit. I never wanted to pick the habit back up so have always just smoked weed clean.

Just shifted to Vape juice (I dilute it with my normal low nicotine vape juice, its a bit more complex than smoking joints, need to consider vape wattage and PG/VG blending).....

Do this alongside some edibles and you get
- No Cravings for fags
- Slightly delayed and weaker hit from Vape Juice, but enough for day to day
- Top up with some edibles. BY FAR THE BEST I have seen so far are the Chuckles Range. Best Tasting, and good range that hit the spot and last a while.

NOTE: Weed is cheap, Edibles are good value, vape juice is expensive, but you aren't buying cigarettes and your lungs are much much clearer.

My lungs are shot from years of joints, bongs and general smoking so I switched to edibles, now I can’t imagine going back. I get my nicotine fix from an ecig.

Like many other comments I cut out tobacco years ago, I smoke hash with a nice little pipe. Works beautifully. Now I can still go for a run while high and I’m fine.
No way I could have done that while smoking baccy joints.
Processed tobacco is a killer, full of nasty chemical shit, cut it out and you’ll be much better off. :)

Tony how are you smoking hash in pipe? Just crumbling it in and burning it pure?

Yes mate, just pure and crumble a small bit. You need one of them small pipes with a very small bowl and the requisite gauze In the bowl. I have a nice solid brass one where you can take the main pipe arm out and scrape it clean. Perfect. I can do my work etc have nice little hits through the day.
Adding more or less hash according to what I’m doing.

can u send me link to one pleasetony or a name id like to buy one

train yourself to smoke them pure! roll them small, take 1 or 2 draws. if nicotine withdrawels are really bad use cbd oil or vape cbd in the meantime. you'll be off it in no time bud!

Thanks! I like the way you think haha!

vaping dry herb is decent. i stopped smoking that way- these days if i still fancy burning weed i’ll just roll a joint with no tobacco and take a few hits at a time. Alternatively, i’ve found the dryness and subtle odour of thai red string means it makes perfect roll ups without the need for tobacco- not too strong, i smoke them often and they just look and smell a little like tobacco to any passer by...

Thanks! I have tried vaping but admittedly I did miss that feeling.

Saw that thai red string on here recently so may give that a try! much appreciated :D

Hi, I smoked joints with tobacco for over 20 years , it wasn`t till a couple of years ago i stopped, I`ve tried a few alternatives eg, Damiana, Real Leaf, Greengo, but tbh they all taste like shit, and leave a nasty lingering smell. I found that when the nicotine was completely out of my system that i did not crave for the joint....just the thc ha, if i want a joint i just make a small pure 1, but that`s very rarely these days as i`ve invested in a Dynavap the beauty of this device is that you can toke it like pipe or a joint.....best of both worlds, and also it is more of an uplifting cleaner high with vaping....hope this helps, best of luck with your journey.

Peace out
MH

Thanks MH! Some great thoughts, will check out Dynavap! TY

I just want to echo some of what MH said as I have a similar history. The thought of moving to pure weed joints made me think of a huge increase in cost but the reason for all those spliffs in a day was the nicotine craving. Plus was I really getting high or just feeling the nicotine fix? Personally I vaped nicotine until I reduced the % to 0 over 6 months or so. Then one day just stopped vaping as I thought what’s the point? Now I pipe or joint some weed WHEN I WANT TO and actually GET HIGH!! However you manage to quit you will smoke less but get more high! Winner :)
