Thread: Cannabis

Wish I had the article link handy where I nabbed this fact, but the body has 2 receptors for THC.

And 64 (or 65) receptors for CBD. Essentially, CBD affects every pathway in the body to a certain degree. So no wonder many are considering the impacts miraculous.

About time (pun avoided) serious research gets conducted on the plant without pharmaceutical companies hindering those efforts nearly as much.

That's the next step, and kind of intimidating because for anyone who thinks the wet shaving rabbit hole is bad, the cannabis rabbit hole is worse!! I would very much appreciate any recommendations, because the only drawback of this is the actual smoking. I enjoy the occasional cigar, for example, but I really don't like smoking on a regular basis, no matter the substance. A good quality vape is necessary.

IMO, these are the best 3.

Arizer Solo, or really anything by Arizer. I hear nothing but great things about Arizer. My sister has had a Solo for 5 years now and it’s never let her down. She micro doses all day everyday for her epilepsy. Arizer is made in Canada.

Storz and Bickel, mighty. Another that I read nothing but good things about. Made in Germany. It has dosing cartridges that you pre load. Great for using as a daily medicator.

My favourite, Dynavap. Has a bit of a learning curve but will save you a ton in Cannabis cost because it’s so efficient. Uses a butane torch to heat up but will get you full extraction of the bud. These are made in the USA.

I also know someone who makes custom stems for the Dynavap.

Thanks Harrywally! I’ll check those out.

Joel I"m very glad to hear about the help your body is receiving from the CBD.

Now smoking and vaping are not the only ways. I know of CBD tinctures that will do exactly the same with a minor dose, like a drop or 3. There are also edibles that are very effective. Now smoking any herb you only get about 15% of the desired component, in an edible or tincture form, you get over 90% absorption/intake. So you may want to look into those.

Andrew, I am so very happy to hear your father and sister are doing so well!!!!

Mark, thanks for the comment about the receptors we have, quite interesting and makes so much sense.

There is a reason it's refered to as the god bud, it has so many medical uses it's incredible.

I've heard of some of the amazing things that CBD can do and i hope it's true( ive considered giving it a try ), though i must admit that i'm still hesitant to fully endorse the whole recreational Marijuana craze. I wonder if all these claims are true than how long till the FDA (CFIA) and the major drug companies here in the U.S. find some reason to ban it due to loss of profits (they won't give that as the real reason though). My research into natural remedies has shown that there's not as much money in something natural as it can't be patented and controlled. (there's more people making a living from cancer than are dying from it .ex)

Let's see them just try to put that genie back in the bottle.

Tintin, that is the reason cannabis was banned in the first place. It had medical uses and had to be quashed in the name of profit. And guess what, the government has patented cannabis, how surprising!!
Now as it is here in Michigan, they said that dispensaries have to now buy from the money people (government) and can not buy from caregivers anymore. Well, now there's a major shortage of flower since they didn't ramp up their production in time for this. Government involvement = failure, just a fact.

And Mark you're right it's be like herding cats!!

Interesting enough, now with 27 states with some sort of medical/recreational legality, they are trying to make it Federally legal. We'll see how/when/if that happens

Happy 4:20, on 4/20/2020.
Miss ya Dave!
Cheers men.

It is so windy there is an outdoor burning ban here today!
