getting the most out of weed

[sarocket13]

how do you get the most out of your weed? I want to make my bud last, and I want to know methods, tips, techniques,etc. on how to make my bud last longer and get me higher. Any good suggestions on how to do this?

[Coelho]

I make hash oil (http://boards.cannabis.com/concentrates/102136-easy-way-making-hash-oil.html) with my weed... so, each gram of weed produces enough hash oil for some 10 highs... and thats how i can smoke one entire year with only 2oz of weed... :stoned:

[Acouwaila]

make a gravity bong man...im tellin u

[GreenDestiny]

Sometimes I'll vaporize it, then save up all the used weed from that to burn later.

There's also some kinda method of baking your weed just a little bit in the oven just like you would for making fire crackers. sealed up in aluminum foil, baked at around 320F for 15-20 minutes. It activates the THC or something, I forgot what the chemical reaction is, so that the high is stronger when you smoke it... which I assume would take less amount to get you high. Don't quote me on any of that, I've never tried it but I will next time I have bud. Gotsta gets me some o dat nuttela or whatever its called

[west coast style]

I second the gravity bong method.

Its called decarboxilation, and it works.

Never heard of that whats the goal of it to concentrate the thc or somethin?

the weed, specially when its fresh, recently harvested, have great amounts of THCA (tetrahydrocannabinoic acid), which is inactive. with the passing of time, or by the process of curing, it slowly releases CO2, turning into THC. the decarboxylation we do is just to acelerate this process, heating the weed at a suitable temperature, to help this reaction to occur fast, and thus increase (sometimes dramatically) the amount of THC in the weed.

There are more details about it in this thread:

Easiest way to get the most out of your weed is to smoke bowls.

[Mississippi Steve]

A waterpipe ROCKS!!... use minimum weed and get maximum stone. I smoked off an OZ zip for an entire year. It has to be a really good grade of weed to do this, but even with schwag, I have been working on a half zip for a couple of months and have only used about half of it.

[Dream of the iris]

There are many methods for conserving you're weed but what I find most effective is using a one hitter. See a lot of people base their sessions off of how many bowls they smoke to get high and often times its a huge misconception to say that one bowl=one high. This is most certainly not true unless you have really crappy stuff. For most people it only takes about 5 hits to get stoned. Now a bowl is about 8 to 10 hits and if you pack a bowl and smoke it you end up smoking 10 hits before you ever feel anything which in turn causes you to over hit. You really only needed 5 of those 10 hits but because you smoked it faster than you could feel it, you ended up using those 5 extra unecessary hits. So what I always do is pack the hit individually rather than pack it by the bowl. Depending on what grade of stuff you have depends on how many hits you'll need but for me it takes about anywhere from 2 to 5 hits. Of course this method of conservation is thrown out once you smoke with others because since there are so many hitting it you would have to base you're high off of the bowl rather than the hit....otherwise you and you're friends would be in that smoke session for a while. But this method proved effective for me. I once chilled off of about a quarter of stems for a week and a half using this method when my town was dry.

I had a small glass waterpipe back when I was in high school, and it worked great. These days, I vape - but I'm thinking of getting a waterpipe for those times when I don't have time for the vaporizer.

I also try to make my weed last for a long time - it's not easily available, and quite expensive. I haven't rolled a joint in years - it's too wasteful with today's stuff.

[brentxzi]

Burn it slow... let it creep up on you. Vaporizers are a good idea too, takes you less to get ripped and the leftovers can be used for whatever you like.

[Euphoric7]

Here are some rules I found out... you can use them to intensify or prolong your high(s):

Timeline of smoking weed:
0-5 minutes --->The more you smoke here affects how INTENSE your high is
after 5 minutes---> this affects how LONG the high lasts (you wont get 'higher' from smoking more here)

that's in my experience.

[fenderninja]

a lil trick i learned a while ago is that if you have for example one of those metal bowls that you can unscrew, just go ahead and put some weed inside of it to resinate, whilst you smoke the rest of your sack. hell i even do this with my glass bowl, its a pain in the ass but it makes cleaning the resin out extremely easy and it makes whatever weed in the pipe that much stronger.

:D

Hey I know you posted that a long time ago, but where do you get cork like that and that gold bowl? Let me know..:hippy:

[roninwithnoname]

I just a use a regular bong (no water, water filters out THC as well) and black-lung huge hits.

[Mississippi Steve]

The cork and jar came together.. I got them at a crafts store. The "gold" bowl is a brass pipe fitting.... 1/4 compression to a 3/8 pipe thread.

In fact I just hit some of my Arjans Ultra Haze #1 in that very pipe :D

All the stuff can be got going between a crafts store and Lowes or Home Depot. they cost about $12 to make.

Here's a hint... use a piece of the 1/4in brass tube as a drill bit to make the holes in the cork.

Very nice! I will definitely have to make one of those! :thumbsup:

Thanks a lot...but you mentioned in one of my other threads that stainless steel is good also..do you know if most wrench sockets are stainless steel? Cuz i have a bunch im just worried whether its aluminum or not?

[VapedG13]

lets say your MJ plant has 20% thc...

A pipe lets you get 35% of the MJ's 20% THC.... a joint 60% .....a Bong 78%.....volcano vaporizer 94%

To get the most THC from your weed ....vape it

[JeffersonBud]

Vaporizer hands down. You can use the vaporized weed (duff) for cooking after. i also make hash from my trim and then use the leaf material left over from the bubble hash washing to make butter. Works like a champ. the brownies I make are so strong that eating a 1/4 of one will make you literally trip.

sockets are steel, they are ok
Stainless steel is ok and it won't stick to a magnet because of the high nickel content.
yellow brass is ok
red brass and copper are not ok
Glass is ok


Do they even teach basic science in school anymore??

well i try to only smoke blunts, so the way i try to save is by saving roaches and rolling them into a blunt to make a generation! gets you ripped.

if you are really determined, keep saving roaches and generation roaches to make a second generation blunt.

5 blunt roaches = generation
5 generation blunt roaches = second generation

i, in all seriousness, think that the day my friend and i smoked the second gen, was the best day of my life, no joke.

Dude.... thats just plain gross :wtf:

Dude.... thats just plain gross :wtf:

you may think that, but its really not. plus i dont really mind going through all that, because that is the highest i have ever gotten period. smoke a secong gen and you will never think it is gross again

[Mississippi Steve]

Maybe if you used a better grade of weed?? Personally, I haven't smoked a joint in 30 years. I'll take a bowl(preferably a waterpipe) anytime.

[415plus5]

i dont like joints either that much. and you cant really get bad weed in the bat area. you dont have to like them, i do, thats just my opinion

[seattlesmoke247]

waterfalls [some people call gravity bong] are the best way to conserve weed, IMO.. :stoned:

[dsgernie420]

1. use a gravity bong
2. compress your lungs (Compressing Your Lungs - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scQTUpQuFtk))
3. exhale out of your nose

[Crystalline Green]

Take 2-3 grams of kratom beforehand. Best buzz ever.

[HomegrownInIdaho]

Generation joints are awesome. Have smoked up to a 5th Gen roach joint. Mind was blown. Also I know a kid (20) from Detroit that always talks about snappers you load a small nug and completely burn it and milk up your bong and then clear it all in one hit. Maybe 15 years ago I could have done it but not now. That would be murder now.
