      Thats why i hate going to dispensaries. I have never noticed any difference between indica or sativa, and i hate asking for an ounce of Rainbow Unicorn Spoof and half of Banana Creampie. I’m a grown man and i just want some weed to smoke and make edibles with. Normally i get around this by just buying shake, but they didn’t even have any at the place i went to a few months ago.

        You can do what I did most recently.

        I said “you have a special going on, so I want flower up to the limit for the special, good fun stuff, nice variety, preferably heavy on couch-lock weed. You can mix and match and I’ll just pay for it.”

        Works out really well. I didn’t have to pretend to give a shit about their claims of how it tasted or what it would do (“smoke” and “high” respectively, per usual), didn’t have to pretend I cared what the names or blends were, like just give me weed please and thanks. Like my dealer never gave me options?? Just give weed, here’s money. I don’t want to talk to you about the weed just sell it to me before this is uncomfortable.

        Recently asked the guy behind the counter for something more chill and relaxing, as my random purchases ended up giving me anxiety. Worked really well, good recommendations.

        I specify a brand / sativa vs indica and just let them pick one out for me. Haven’t found one I had to have yet

      one thing you should care about is THC %, there’s a big difference between say 5% and 20%

      5% THC weed will give you a nice relaxing high, the same amount of 20% THC weed will send you so far into space you can basically call it a psychodelic experience

        You just don’t need to use as much with the higher % kinds. If the price is the same, it’s a better value because it can last longer.

        FYI smoking is wasteful. Blunts are the most wasteful way to waste your money on that. Vaping with convection and/or conduction heat source is the absolute best way to use those flowers.

          seeing as weed is still illegal where i currently live i’d rather trust an unaltered flower than a murky liquid of vague origin

            Herbal vapes have existed for long before e-liquids became a thing.

            As a bonus you end up with AVB (already vaped bud) which is great for edibles as you can skip the decarb process.

              Heh, when you mentioned AVB I fully expected you to finish with “which is great for selling to suckers,” so I found the actual ending to be a wholesome surprise!

            There’s just medical where I live, and every single product has the lab results of what’s in the batch printed right on the box.

            The advantages of legalization and regulation.

        Seriously have my doubts about the accuracy of said percentage. I’ve had 10-15% knock me on my ass compared to 20-23%
