Weed Education

[Kayos]

i don't think i know of anyone that smokes their resin, at least not around these parts, i feel like all of the THC would have burned out and all you'd be doing is smoking tar, i'm sure someone will tell me you get fucking blasted on resin though.

so, can someone explain in a bit more detail why/how you smoke the resin?

Big paperclips are your friend. Resin can definitely be smoked, and I do it everytime I am our of weed. Hell I am smoking some right now.

If you smoke a lot out of a bowl, my advice would be to use the paperclip to scrape the inside of the bowl when it is completely dry first. Then tilt the bowl and make a pile of all the resin that comes out. Once this stops working, its best to heat the bowl with a lighter (dont use a microwave unless you know wtf you are doing) so the resin still stuck starts to get soft.

You can then scrape it a bunch more and have more resin to smoke for a while. After these two steps, and you have a bunch of resin on the table after scraping, simply smush them together (into a ball or w/e), then put it in your bowl and smoke it. Don't be put off by the taste, it will fuck you up if you keep hitting it.

I can't condone smoking resin for long periods of time (it tastes aweful compare to good weed), but it CAN hold you over for almost a week if you are desperate (and depending on how much you smoke out of your bowl lol).

Also, resin WILL get you high as shit, especially if its resin from really good weed. If I have good weed I will never try to smoke resin, but it can certainly help you in a pinch if you are out of the good stuff and can't get more right away.

We were like 13 or 14, and had never had a reason to need a bong at that point.

We just tried to make a grav bong out of curiousity, cause Mike was a tinkerer type.

Like I said, this is the guy who converted a fishtank waterpump into an autobong, even attached a refillable lighter to it.

i <3 this thread
also fuck yea smalltown weed being amazing and well priced :s
and i didn't even think to smoke my fucking resin lol :s, scooped it out of the bowl i have with my knife was a bunch easier than scraping.

10 years of smoking, fairly regularly most of the time (anywhere from 0-3 times per day), and I've hit a gravity bong exactly once. It was a one gallon milk jug with a bowl on the top lid with gum used as "gasket". To this day thought I've always wanted to make one with one of those 6 gallon poland spring jugs. I was able to do about 1/2 a gram in one hit in the gallon, I'd have to imagine you could do at least 1.5g or more in a 6 gal, and just once I'd like to do that someday, lol. I remember I coughed for 10 minutes that one time, so I'd imagine this would be pretty bad.

Speaking of gravity bongs, I remember this one time me and some friends just took a five gallon bucket, busted a hole in the bottom and put a piece of aluminum foil with holes poked in it over it. Went to a local lake and fucking used that shit, the hole int he bottom was the perfect size for your face. Holy shit, you could not fucking take that thing in one hit. It was fucking impossible.

[Max™]

We joked that you call it gravity bong because you learn quickly after hitting one that gravity works.

[TheShadyMan]

I've always wanted to rig up a gravity bong, and immediately use a dry lung to cough into. (If you don't know what a dry lung is, its the same concept as a gravity bong, where you have the little bowl piece, but instead of having it connected to a bottle or whatever, you use a bread bag or something of the sort, and just pull the bag out from the top to pull air through, and then just compress the bag so it shoots smoke into your mouth.) I mean seriously, they say the more you cough, the more you get off, and I wouldn't even care if I died from asphyxiation in that situation, because fuck, is there a better way to die than getting high?

[Mohoss]

As nice as all these different methods of smoking can be, nothin beats a good ol' half a bowl of some chronic before you go to bed which is what I just did lol

[Rafike]

is there a better way to die than getting high?

Suffocation caused by a naked girl avalanche is about the only thing that comes to mind, short of that no.

Any suggestions on how to clean a bong with a non-removable percolator? Have been reading a few different things such as coke/pepsi, mixture of vinegar and water with salt, and denture tablets. Just looking for some personal testimonials or something, because the inside of my bong is starting to stain hardcore, and it's such a beautiful piece of glass, I can't have that shit.

lol, just noticed the tag line on the top of the page
'It's 4:19, you can still make it!'
Alternatively, you can just boil the motherfucker, assuming you have a pot big enough to do it.
When we didn't have any pots to boil our bubbler in, we just boiled some water and poured it through the bowl, and let it run through and poured it out. Worked pretty well.

I figured I'd post some of this since National Public Radio is doing a special report all this week focusing on the MJ business, culture collectives and the competition from underground dealers as well as their customers. They follow a pot delivery driver from an Internet collective and stuff too. Yesterday's was in Humboldt county and LA I believe. Very informative series and you can see archives of the earlier broadcasts are on the site too.

With them cutting back on the number of shops open, requiring that shop collective owners have no felony criminal record to dispense and licenses that go back a few years. The regular dealers are losing business because of the convenience of the legal shops yet they charge less than the shops so it will get competitive when the massive amount of un-qualified shops get closed.

Here is some info: The link has the full story I excerpted below because it is huge, full audio interviews, pictures and a video of : "Marijuana delivery from plant to pipe," from day 3 of the series I think.

Pot Delivery Services Cropping Up Across California

by Michael Montgomery

June 9, 2010

Pot Parties For Patients

On a recent afternoon at one former pot dealer's home in an upscale section of Los Angeles, guests nibbled on a buffet of fruit, bagels and pastries while others crowded into a backyard studio.
"These are bongs, pipes, whatever you want, help yourself," she tells her guests.

The woman agreed to show us her operation provided we not reveal her name or where she works in Los Angeles. To comply with state law, she formed a nonprofit patients' collective last year.
She then started throwing parties like this one to transform her former customers into medical-pot patients. She had a physician on hand to evaluate the guests and then sign off on recommendations for medical marijuana — all for $100 each.

Later, the woman made a round of deliveries to these customers turned patients. She met up with a man waiting in his car in a Starbucks parking lot. And she made another delivery in a nearby office building.

How much of this is legal is debatable. Advocates argue that laws enacted after California voters passed the Compassionate Use Act in 1996 cover transportation and distribution of medical pot, though not across state lines. But Joseph Esposito of the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office says state law doesn't sanction large-scale distribution.

"I don't see anything that suggests that when voters passed the Compassionate Use Act, that they envisioned storefronts, delivery services," Esposito says.

Holy shit, I can get pot delivered to my fucking house in Cali?
afk moving

[Zoolander]

Hahaha and I thought people got happy when I delivered them a pizza...

God damn, keep hoping/dreaming I'll get into the schools I want in Denver or Cali >< Those areas are like made for me lol.

[Dylon]

yea there are a few dispensaries that deliver around Denver. I like going to the dispensary so i know the bud im getting is good. And seeing all you guys call swag mid grade is crazy, mid grade is the chronic that didn't get grown right but still gets you high around here lol. swag almost doesn't exist here anymore, everyone i know sells and smokes chronic, and i have a lot of friends that smoke weed

Yeah you gotta put yer nuts in the microwave first though. Its ok because you get faster transportation that way apparently. :D

On more serious notes, I had no idea they did delivery until I started listening to the radio series this week. Unf_king believable.

@Dylon, I don't smoke so I am pretty naive to the types so I was surprised at all of the varieties and names mentioned in the audio show when they were at a collective shop. There are so many dispensaries in Nor cal it is insane. They had this story today about this lab that tests the quality for all of the collectives, preventing bad strains or bacteria it said. My guess is it wont be long before Budweiser is selling the stuff with super astronomical taxes in convenience stores.

[Kohan]

Y'all jealous.

[Dylon]

shiiiiiiiit i wish colorado had labs that checked for that shit, some of the weed people are growing here are getting people sick because they don't know how to flush the plant before curing it. i also wish more people here knew what they were doing because even though there's a lot of dispensaries that just take whatever weed they get and it's not cool when they get a really shitty strain and they say its good.

I learned that there is a certain smell to weed that hasn't been grown and cured right, it kinda smells like grass or hay, something along those smells and i suggest anyone buying weed to see if it smells like grass because its bunk.

Elaboration:

Olfaction Satisfaction a.k.a. Smell

Smell is one of the best ways to quickly gauge the quality of the marijuana you have. Quite simply, the best bud smells the strongest. You can expect good bud to smell like anything - a skunk, a pine tree (or forest for that matter), fruit, etc. On the other hand, lower-quality bud will often smell like grass (due to high presence of leaves, and therefore chlorophyll) or a leafy bush. It may even have no smell at all, depending on how dry (bad) it is. Basically, you will be unable to hide the smell of very "dank" (good) bud.
