Breakfast - drop of RSO in my cuppa and a fat joint of Mimosa.

Walk - GSC cart.

I'd be fucking mashed by this point so anything goes after the walk 😀

Replace drop with 0.2ml and that sound like a nice start to the day 😝

-Cart for the walk
-Banner with brunch
-Mimosa for the movies and music
-Cookie with RSO frosting for tea
-Gorilla Zkittles late finish…

Perfect! 😍🥳😍👍

Those GSC carts from the Doc kick my ass, not sure about you. Probably the best option for your walk though, and you will be mighty toasted by the time your home and ready to chill.

Have you any strains or hash weaker than others? I feel like it would only be right to start small and give the less desirables a chance to show their full potential.

Lol I’m not sure what to suggest, but your post made me smile :) enjoy your day.

Pumpjack 1st of with some rso in a milky coffee which will set you off for your walk, then a big skin of all of the mentioned strains upon returning using the gsc as a top up, rinse and repeat depending on weather.

Definitely RSO, 0.2ml in a brew and then I dunno you might need to stock up 🤔😂

So to kick start the day I’m definitely thinking an rso brew. I might take the vape cart on the morning walk and enjoy a couple of pulls on that hopefully in some nice warm morning sun.

We are all going to need a LOT of weed! 🥺

thankfully this isnt a vodka community

Just get yourself hundreds of toilet rolls and you’ll be fine.

One thing I didn’t include was the potential for cyber warfare. This level of potential conflict hasn’t come about in the internet era so Russian tactics in this respect will be interesting to see as long as LB isn’t the target obviously. Now that would get me panicked

I think they are too busy moving their money around, i can literally see the Russian money moving around the markets looking for somewhere to hide.

He may launch a cyber attack but it will be nothing compared to the cyber onslaught that Russia will be experiencing from the west.

I think we are seeing the beginning of the end of Putin but who knows which buttons he may press during his downfall.

I think overvalued crypto will bounce off the floor, i would be reluctant to place larger orders while btc is falling to at least give vendors a chance or i would try and buy on a bounce.

Stocking up on tinned food is always a good idea what with the world being such a crazy place to live, i have been doing this gradually but i am in a precarious location in terms of military targets.

As Putin becomes more aggressive the world will be ashamed of him and his ridiculous power crazed ways.

China are still very much a world player i think we could well see China turn it's back on Putin with a secret deal with the west.

Keep calm and carry on !

Peace

If things go badly pear shaped the dead will be by the lucky ones.

Everything we need is foundationally built into the roots that you have access to any time you choose.

Law of attraction which led us all here or anywhere else we wish to be :)

Priceless!!

Echo others comments but I've had unground weed and hash in basic mason jars in cool, dark place for 1-2+ years and honestly no degradation in quality. For you at 30 days should be fine too!!

You really should get it out of the vac pack asap.

Mason jars, Boveda pack, cool dark place…👍👍….experts say dark jars rather than clear glass…🤷‍♂️

Excellent advice Pollypuff20 and Hesh 😃 I’ve seen these other products called Cannador Humidors which you can store up to 9 strains in the Jars within a fancy wooden storage box to keep them really fresh it’d be a dream to have one of those one day 🤩

it comes with keys 🔑 too so it can be locked which is a nice touch too 👌 😊

Thanks for all the great input, I'm taking a look at the products you have all mentioned.
My main requirements for a stash are stealth, currently in baggies/folded vac bag and tucked away in my office. Secondly, keeping strains separate, be that in one holder or multiple small ones.
Any specific product tips to meet these needs would be great but more than happy with what I've learnt so far!
Thanks.

Always happy to help 😃 for strain separation that is always best to get a few different size jars so that you’ll know which one is which in case you have a preferred night time strains and want to keep them separate from day 😃

Also without them being separated into different jars if you had one strain which is drier than the other then the drier strain pulls the moisture and stickiness out of the other ones and the flavour/ terps too. This is why the Boveda are great as they’ll either increase or decrease the jars contents moisture to 62/ 58 % humidity depending on which one is used 😃

Happy weekend to you Coxroach1 😊 Miron UV glass stash jars are great and mason jars are also great too as long as they are kept out of the light. 😊 it’s best to have jars which are similar size to the amount of bud you have in them too 😊

I’ve got the Boveda Terpene Shield’s 🛡 and a couple of Boveda 62% humidity packs too and keep a few of them in the jars 😊 then they can be left in a cool dark place like a drawer/ cupboard and best not to pre grind the material before storing it to save potency 😊

Stay away from plastic if storing for long periods!

cool dark place, airtight glass jars!

if you can smell the terps that means they are evaporating :D can't have that now can we? gotta be stored airtight!

I like to store mine in my lungs 🫁

Vac sealed and out of direct light with humidity regulator pack
Best way of storage for long term storage

Jars are usually the good to. If you can manage the humidity and keep it in a dark place, you're good as gold.

The liverpool gig was with shack yeah??
I was real lucky too and caught the forever changes tour at the 02 with half orchestra, and stripped back in king tuts and queens hall with baby lemonade, absolutely amazing gigs.

I was at the Queens Hall gig too. Kind of wish he stopped playing just a little earlier, the new songs were funny but maybe not so great. "Maybe the People" is just such a classic track.

Yes! Great recommendation.

Fantastic album one of the greats! Recently bought the Record Store Day release of unreleased tracks and outtakes 👍

I’ve seen the Rodriguez documentary “Sugar Man” well worth a watch if you haven’t seen it but don’t think I’ve heard the album. I will give it a listen.

A classic disc, there were significantly better albums in the 60s, but it’s top 25

Seems suss to me... The Dr has NEVER let me down in 100s of sales from him. Any problems have always been fixed.. This person could not have sent a message as I KNOW they would have had a response.. Come on guys dont bash the good ones.. Highly annoying when things dont arrive due to RM but if you make contact with the DR he will fix it...

Yeah the guy still hasn't contacted me unfortunately, I wish people would just contact me first, I'm not a scary guy haha

Amen! Never had a problem with the Dr either, Best damn Vape Carts out here! No other vendor compares!

haha thank you mate<3

Definite upvote from me. The Doc is spot on for both quality and communications. Been using the Doc for 2 years and he’s the best on here. There is the occasional late delivery (currently one outstanding for myself) but this is always due to Royal Mail or the time I’ve ordered (should have done NDS over Xmas but that’s my own fault). Keep up the good work Doc, always a 10/10 from me

Thank you mate<3 next time just drop me a quick message and I will have your order sent with SND delivery mate:)

Upvote from me. Dr.extracts is definitely a reliable vendor. His message is solid here and way beyond what alot of other vendors what do in this situation over 1 order. Kudos

Thank you mate I appreciate the kind words, much love<3

I've had tons of orders from the Doc - never an issue and always premo quality 👌 💯

<3<3

I am a fairly new customer to DoctorExtracts, but all of my 5 or so orders have arrived so far and the carts are totally lush. Obviously been slow to arrive but we all know this is Royal Mail atm and nothing anyone can do really. Big thanks from me!

I'm glad your enjoying the carts mate & I also appreciate you being so understanding about the recent delays<3

DoctorExtracts is 100% legit. I did not receive a package and he reshipped on special delivery which came the next day. I had moved house as well during that time and reshipped to new address no problems. Keep up the good work Doc!

Its no worries mate I just wanted to make sure you definitely got everything you paid for, I would just feel so guilty if i knew someone had given me money for something & I hadn't held up my end of the deal

Hi mate, it wasn't me that gave the 1/10 review as I did receive my cart. I gave you 10/10 and I was so impressed by your customer service! As for the cart I love them! Not having to go out for a joint in this weather is a blessing. I'm still shocked how much it feels like smoking/vaping bud. Cheers again for everything! Hope you find the guy!

I got ya doc. Hope you find him.

thank you mate<3

It was mine, honestly, lost my order number too.

Fancied trying a cart 😅

Upvote from me too. Not been a customer of the Dr for as long as most, but it’s been a cracking service. Last delivery arrived today, which was almost 2 weeks, but that’s totally down to Royal Mail, and it also arrived with 2 weeks worth of post! Haha. Anyway, keep up the good work and have a smashing Christmas! Cheers

Adding my support for the Dr.

One of my initial orders arrived damaged. This got sorted immediately. I’ve completed loads of orders since with no issues.

One of the top sellers on LB in my opinion. Amazing product too.

A drop or two of RSO in a Horlicks for me. Very restful.

When do you have it mate timing wise and what would you consider a drop?

Something kind of lentil sized works for me, about an hour before bed. Good for 6 hours I find.

What you seem to be describing is anxiety/nerves keeping you awake. If you are feeling anxious then smoking or consuming anything too high grade may not help as it can intensify any anxiety. Any strong edibles or concentrates will make you pretty high for a few hours and not sleepy for quite a while - or at least that's how it is for me. Try consuming a brownie or similar earlier in the afternoon then having a smoke of something with more balanced cbd-thc, not too strong. Watch a film or better read a book and it usually distracts your mind enough for the drugs and your bodys natural clock to take control of your eye lids. It's hard but try to avoid thinking about the event. Train your mind slowly. I've suffered a lot with anxiety and keeping busy, as in active physically and mentally throughout the day and setting out a chill out routine with distractions for the evening works for me. If you can try to have less intoxicants on the night before the event as they don't see you through the night and the minute your levels and blood sugars change you become easily woken and restless and your worried mind takes over. Failing that there are prescription meds of various forms that if taken on a very infrequent basis may not have a downside or any addiction issues but it's not my first choice. Although I have tried this route and it did work even when I was totally frantic with anxiety. Sorry for the long post but sleep has been an issue all my life and the reason I fell in love with Mary Jane. Hope you get it nailed. I've found not giving a shit about anything much these days helps too ; -) Peace.

You are so right about the booze. I’m a drinker and know that the 4-5am slot is known as “the drinker’s hour” as your blood sugar level drops and your heart race increases. A bag of M&M’s at bedtime could help a bit in the old days, but now I rarely drink after 8pm.
Low dose (0.25mg) Xanax is brilliant for night time anxiety and if I take at least 4 hours before I need to get up then I feel very refreshed in the mornings. The problem with Xanax is the speed at which you build up tolerance but if you limit it to once or twice a week it’s great imo, and just knowing that you’ve got it in reserve relieves anxiety on its own!

agree with this im a medical professional and xanax works well once or twice but the bodies natural ability to resist it is great so addiction can happen quite easily but polys advice on low dose is perfect!

Hey, this probably sounds really boring compared to finding an awesome new strain haha but have you tried out any CBD products?
I know someone who gets the pre match nerves thing but increasing CBD intake really seems to help calm it all down. Good luck in finding something man.

I’ll grab some and try it man, totally open to all suggestions.

Great question.
I think part of the problem is we all experience products in different ways. For example I was told RSO is great for sleep but it has the opposite effect on me. Edibles generally buzz me up, as do a lot of hazes etc.
That leaves indicas and through many many strains tried when I find one that seems to deliver a great nights sleep I’ll have it another time and not so much. The 100% indicas like Hindu Kush & Heirloom OG work best for me, but interested in what other Biggas think….

Yeah I’m an indica guy and Super Hans Hindu Kush was lovely for relaxing and then sleeping. Hashisins Afghan is equally as good.

Big UP 👍 to both of those!

Yeah edibles can have an adverse effect on me too lol Researching this a bit and Grandaddy Purps seem to come up an awful lot.

Sounds like you might put too much pressure on yourself to perform well maybe? I have struggled with that over the years - I simply don't want to let myself down or other people. It's just down to the values you have as a person. Keep up with the exercise though it has always helped me get some quality sleep.

Weed recommendation: RB was doing some cheap Kerosene Krash about a month ago and really hit the spot for me before bed. 80% Indica. I'd be falling asleep before I was actually trying. I find sativas late evening are just too much of a head buzz and my mind doesn't settle down.

I have also experimented with CBD - pre made eliquids, homemade carts from cbd extracts and I have tried some cbd weed on here but I found it to have no effect on my sleep at all.

I hope you find something that works for you from all of these suggestions on here though buddy

You’re absolutely right brother, wayyy too much pressure on myself and then runs into worrying about how much sleep I get to aid my performance the next day! I’ll keep plugging away at a decent solution, thanks for taking the time man 🤙🏼

RSO works wonders for me. I can usually fall asleep fine, but, especially if dealing with work stress, often wake up 4,5 or 6 am with a racing mind and can't get back to sleep. RSO (I use the one sold by Drugs Inc UK) consistently gives me around 9-10 hours of decent sleep each time I use it. It does hang around (pleasantly so) the following morning though, so not great if you need to function.

My other - non cannabis - trick is a long soak in a bath with magnesium flakes (zechstein are the best) before bed.

Magnesium is excellent as a sleep aid, and if you add some decent bath oils designed for relaxation (Olverum is lovely, and Aromatherapy Associates Deep Relax always knocks me out) then sleep comes easy. Even just a few drops of Clary Sage essential oil in a bath or on your pillow can help - its great to calm down anxiety/stress etc.

Hope some of that helps - poor sleep is a horrible thing. Good luck!

What lovely advice, thanks for taking the time 🙏

purple afghan kush, was zen like.

Grab any concentrate from the likes of ULC or Canadian imports take a couple of nice dabs on the device of choice, pick something you like the flavour of and don't worry about indica/sativa stuff

I find using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pzizz.android

Something like pzizz on headphones is amazing for helping me sleep, I only use the free version and only need it now occasionally but it made a massive difference in my ability to switch off from the next day

Hope this helps 👍

Cheers man, I’ve got a nice little dab rig so will give this a whirl 😁

Good luck 👍 my earlier solution to this issue was to imagine the colour blue and make a wheeeeeeeeee sound in my head to stop me thinking but that isn't as effective as pzizz and makes me sound a smidge 🤪

Why doesn’t that work for me? 🥲
(I have those concentrates and a white noise generator! )
🦊⚡️🐰

Pzizz isn't a white noise generator, I have honestly tried all sorts and this is the one that worked for me

For me it's got the perfect balance of attention/ not attention needed for me to fall asleep, I suspect it's not gonna be the same for everyone but as previously stated dear 🦊 enough concentrate and my comfy cans on and ☁️🐰💤

Live Test:10pm
-2 x dabs ULC Mimosa Wax 🤤 on dab pen you are VERY familiar with👍
- currently dancing to Pzizz…
- unlikely to stop any time soon…Friday?
- non of this is bad, quite the opposite, unless sleep required!
🦊⚡️🐰

It does help to be in bed lying down 😂🤷🏻

Just gettin’ this party started! 🥳⚡️🤩

always avoid caffeine in the day before the sleep works wonders for me!

I thought you just buy an indica. No need to complicate

I think it's probably more complex than that man and besides the whole Sativa v Indica is always in question anyway!

have you tried hops tea or hops extract? melatonin might work?

I tried Pukka Night Time tea, it didn’t do much but is that the same kinda thing?

probobly, herbal sleepy stuff, you want the good stuff, have a read about melatonin pills, not sure if they are still legal.

It’s not illegal You can get melatonin over the counter. It does help but not for continuous use

Did anything you tried work Carverr?

Ask me again next week mate, I’ve got some events coming up this weekend which will rattle me the night before lol I’m going for smoking some Grand Daddy purps and a couple of dabs of concentrate an hour or so before bed! 🤞 (With added Pzizz lol)

Okay! Sounds like you have a plan. I hope the thing you have coming up goes well ♡ gotta love that grandaddy purp!

I find the best way to maintain your tolerance levels without the need for a break to be switching strains, never smoke the same bud for too long, I do at most half oz on strain and then move on ( granted there are occasion where I will pick up more because it’s too good, but then I do start to find it’s effects less so as time goes on), otherwise I just go cold turkey for a week or two and I’m flying to the moon after just a few puffs..cold turkey for me mainly involves the odd bad night of sleep, but nothing too bad…turkey and cheese sandwich helped with sleep for me lol

My last T break was for about 3 weeks. I think that's about long enough for me but that's a subjective thing.

I had a night or two where i woke up in cold sweats, nothing too serious but it can happen so if it does don't panic.

Also i had very vivid and often quite manic dreams, so just be aware that can happen too.

I've always gone completely cold turkey though, and never used the CBD method, so you're probably being more sensible in your approach.

I consume about as much as you do these days so haven't personally felt the need for a T break myself for quite a while. When i did it last i was on about 3.5g a day (minimum), so perhaps that's where the cold sweats etc came from.

Good luck with everything and i do think T breaks are deffo a good idea.

Cheers. BB

Great insight again BB thanks for the comment! I have noticed over the last few nights my dreams have been really vivid.

Roll with it buddy, it's completely normal. Try and enjoy the dreams! They're my favourite thing about a T break. 👍💚

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Enjoy your trip to Turkey man! Last time I was in Turkey a waiter proposed to my then missus when I went for a piss. Absolutely fearless those guys.

What was her answer? 🤭

🤞🤞…hope it goes well WS…

Hehe looks beautiful pal…always great to change things up for a bit 👍😻

Hehe..brilliant! 😂…see, all that willpower is paying dividends now buddy!🤩
Did you get to recharge your batteries in Turkey like you were hoping?…probably as hot here right now huh?😎

The only problem I ever have with T breaks is when I try and sleep..

I think it's because your muscles are soo used to being relaxed from weed, sinking in your bed.. u know what I mean?

Little update (01/08): One week in, first three nights I was having really vivid dreams (actually enjoyed) and was waking up multiple times per night sweating profusely (didn't enjoy) from reading some posts on Reddit I see this is normal. I almost crumbled yesterday as I'd had a long day at the football and around Manchester with lots of walking involved and my body was aching but I just rolled a CBD flower joint and resisted. I think I'll do do another week then smoke a little and see how I feel. Then I'll just stick to weekends for a few more weeks as opposed to daily. On a side note, I bought some of RealDs Stardawg shake and it is the stinkiest were I've ever had (granted I've had about 10 strains ever and this is my first time buying stardawg) I opened it to jar it up first thing this morning and usually the smells is gone in a few hours but this stardawg is just lingering!

Big up for the CBD, you are getting ALL the goodies just without the THC and that will definitely help avoid withdrawal. I don’t think that’s a real big thing with weed anyway- we just MISS it so much we feel shit😉
A couple of weeks should do it. Lovely big reset and ready to go…👍👍

nah, for some like me the withdrawal was and is crazy. 😭

Ive done t breaks for several months.

first weeks are real bad, no sleep, no appetite, mood swings and all sorts.

highly recommended the cbd flower to take edge of though

🙀🥹…sorry to hear that AS…sounds awful…

all good mate my own doing, chonging way too much over the years 😂😂

Just want the younger smoker to be aware that it can be really tough to take a break let alone stop, if your blazing oz's a week 👍

I'll do two weeks and then see how .5 hits me! Should I be doing them more regularly than every 4 months?

We are all different so you’ve gotta go with how you feel (or how high you feel!).
I’ve only taken breaks when I’ve been sick. Covid was a good opportunity, came roaring back after that one! 😂😂

That's exactly how I got off the nicotine. Tried patches and gum etc with no joy. Then got man flu and I couldn't even think about a cigarette for a week by which point I was over the worst of the withdrawals.

Oddly, i was the opposite. Found giving up the cigs quite easy (mostly due to vaping) but when i did, about a week into it i got what's called 'smokers flu' which is basically feeling like absolute shit when withdrawing.

Aching joints, sore throat, headaches...the lot. Bloody horrible experience.

Still, it's been a year now without any nicotine so it was worth it! Well done for getting off it yourself. Nasty stuff.

Cheers. BB
