Quote: petroglyphIf you are doing shatter, I would say your tolerance is very high. If you go a day or more without any thc, eat two doses [?] or 20mg. of quality product. Maybe if yours is from Col. or Nev. where they do measure what's inside?
If two doses doesn't make you feel anything, your tolerance is way up there. It took years of practice I'll wager, for that to be so? I am such a tee totaler, a standard dose 10mg, couch locks me.
Are the edibles you are trying from a legit source? Home made can be like the lotto? As I said, I think your tolerance is way high? We know it, by itself, won't kill you. Try 50mg's? First time I tried "Simpson's oil", it was like acid.
Also, you have to wait for a couple hours, it has to go through your liver, not into the brain through the blood via the lungs. The high is different.
My tolerance is very high :-(
59yrs old. Doing it since a teen.
Edibles are legit. Not home made. Straight from Denver
If anything, they make me feel sleepy
I'm in Az., and medical grade mj is all that is available [with expensive mmj card] they write the content on every package. They have it dialed in across many products how many mg's are in each. I've found it to be standardized very well.Quote: billryanFrom limited experiences, I'd say the edibles in Nevada are wildly inconsistent. I understand the the is in the butter and is supposed to even itself out, but that hasnt been my experience. I won't say I'll never eat them again, but for now, I pass. Better ways to indulge.
I have friends who don't/won't use edibles, but smoke weed. I can't smoke.
They are definitely not for everybody. For many it is a great substitute for pharmaceuticals .Quote: terapinedQuote: petroglyphIf you are doing shatter, I would say your tolerance is very high.

An odd factoid I read: Of an age group that purchases hi concentrated edibles, seniors are the majority of that contingent. Old people are more likely to be seeking out mmj as an alternative medicine, and just want a small dosage of a known result. Most old people [like you and me] trying mmj, are actually seeking a medical result, rather than a means to get stoned.
Now when I consume edibles, I think of the stone as and unwanted side effect, but it is preferable to opiates.
Do you notice the difference and have a preference between Indica and Sativa?
Weed may save the planet, but it does not do everything for everybody.
Quote: petroglyph[Do you notice the difference and have a preference between Indica and Sativa?
Not really because after I buy both kinds, I destroy all packaging before travelling with my stash
I could be doing indica or sativa tonight. Its unmarked lol
I always work sober during the day
Different strokes for different folks
Have one friend, he only considers edibles

Sorry to hear that, but blaming pot for his death is ridiculous. I bet he watched tv before that didn't do the trick anymore.

Possessive ownership is apostrophe s.
I'm in favor of legalizing it areas where violent crime and riots are a problem. I would even be in favor of them air dropping it to help control riot situations, but legalizing it in LV is a big mistake.
Lexaria dehydratech
You can search for that, which will get you more information. It's supposed to reduce the waiting time down to 15-30 minutes, but I don't know how much, if any, is currently in the supply line. They have a number of patents, and are starting to license the product to manufacturers.
Quote: GlenGAs a dealer, I think the casino would be a much better place to work if they let players smoke before they play haha
It might reduce the game to a snails pace and piss off the non-stoners. No different than a sloppy drunk, I'd imagine.
1. Can't get anything done when high
2. I rarely partook so my edibles expired and got all moldy :(
3. Cleaning out an entire rack of food at the mini bar and fridge at casino hotel rooms were expensive yo

Quote: gamerfreak100% of alcoholics drank water first
They drink breast milk or formula first which are necessary for life.
Mj is not necessary as a recreational drug
Quote: troopscottThey drink breast milk or formula first which are necessary for life.

That wasn't the point.
The point is just because you do a before b, it don't mean a caused b.
If anything, it is pot being illegal that causes people to associate with dealers and become accustomed to buying illegal drugs.
There aren't many debates where one side relies so heavily on arguments that are objectively wrong.
Pot should be illegal = flat earther. Perhaps that's uncharitable to flat earthers.

Alcohol kills tens of thousands each year. Many of those people were not even drinking themselves.
It impairs you more than pot or, for that matter, blow.
But you like to drink so it's OK.
You have some vague, fanciful connection between pot and one death caused by other drugs and don't like the smell.
It's not YOUR prefered drug.
Therefore people should have their lives destroyed for smoking, and money should be funneled away from public coffers and to gangs and cartels.
I like concentrates.
Just checked out reef dispensary, Pisos and the grove.
Price and choice
The Grove is the winner
Quote: terapinedReally surprising how different the stores are regarding the products they sell and their prices.
I like concentrates.

The Grove is the winner
How were they different?
I only went to the grove. I also like concentrates. Two pre-filled/charged vape pens plus 10 gummy edibles was around $80.
I don't like the pre-filled pens, but they are convenient for tourists. The problem with them is that the battery can die before the oil is gone, and you are SOL.
Grove had 1 gram shatter with a lot of variety.
I never buy pre filled pens
Always go with the cartridges that screw on a rechargeable battery
As you can imagine, the stores closest to the strip cater to tourists and get generally charge more. I've window shopped at the Grove and it is more expensive than the locals shops.
Shops located within the limits of the Cities of Las Vegas and Henderson run on slightly different rules than those in the unincorporated parts of town. For those not in the know about local geography, the City of Las Vegas mostly runs north of Sahara, meaning the main tourist strip is not in it.
Shango, out on Boulder, is the most extensive display I've seen.
Unfortunately, I can be drug tested at a moment's notice so I could not partake in the festivities.
I do drink. To this day, I have never, ever heard of someone killing or hitting anyone while under the influence of weed while driving (not suggesting it has never happened, of course) but I hear and see almost every day on the news a drunk driving related crash that resulted in death or injury.
Not to mention the money raised from taxing the stuff which we all know can benefit us all in the long run.
Just legalize it on a federal level already! Let common sense prevail. Once upon a time, Prohibition failed.
I've bought grams for $3 in Newport, and have heard reports of $2 grams and $40 ounces.
My god, is this a great country or what?

That is insane! I paid $70 to a friend for a half ounce of what I would kindly compare to "Mexican ditch weed" last summer. In WA state when I left (2017), I'm pretty sure half ounces were still well over $100. Could be wrong though...memory sucks. Nowhere near $40 though.
Here in MA I haven't even bothered checking the stores out yet. Not enough supply, and only a few shops open. The one nearest to me actually was requiring you to book an appointment to come in and buy, to try to avoid the crazy lines and traffic/parking problems of the first 2 shops that opened. Soon enough, it will level out. For now I have a decent stash.
Ah, how well I remember the days ... cleaning my Mexican weed on an album cover to remove the inevitable stems and seeds.
Not anymore.
Now there are no stems and seeds to speak of, and the potency is off the scale compared to what it was when I first embarked on my career as a stoner.
Now when I go to a "dispensary" I can view the THC% of all the weed, and lord is it strong, typically over 20%.
Wake me up, I must be dreaming.

I have not seen $100/ounce weed with seeds and stems since around 2010.
The majority of the market went completely high end indoor grown/concentrates.
What do todays smokers use as an alternative to albums for cleaning?
Quote: gamerfreakThe majority of the market went completely high end indoor grown/concentrates.
Indeed.
The $3 gram I bought in Newport, Oregon was very, very good, potent weed.
It was shake, not bud, and probably outdoor grown.
It is amazing how good, how "pretty" some of the top shelf bud is these days; the best bud availabe today could easily have been a High Times centerfold back in the day.
Quote: billryanIWhat do todays smokers use as an alternative to albums for cleaning?
The weed from dispensaries is of such high quality that no cleaning is needed.
Now lots of folk don't typically smoke leaf; instead they vape using weed "juice."
Less odor, cleaner way to do it: I still do the Old King Cole routine with my pipe/bowl, but I'm a bit of a Luddite as I drive old cars (I restore and maintain them), listen to LP's, and prefer three reel slots.

Less than half the users nationwide buy their weed legally from dispensaries.
Maybe they will bring back 3-4 finger lids?Quote: MrVOregon has an excess of supply, so "supply and demad" has kicked in, such that prices have dropped.

I recently got my medical MJ card
Regardless of the People overwhelming passing medical MJ
Republicans were not thrilled and refused to make flower legal for MJ patients
Yup, republicans refused to do the peoples will
I can only buy oils and concentrates
One local shop is trying to around the flower ban by selling flower in "tamper proof containers" to be vaped
Well I bought a few of those containers and easily broke in. I expected it to be well ground. It wasn't. A packed bud. cool.
There currently is a lawsuit against the govt of Fl for banning flower
Old Gov Ric Scott fought flower and defended the govt against the lawsuit. Desantis says he wont defend the lawsuit and will eventually legalize flower.
Desantis sees the numbers, 71% approved Medical MJ. Those numbers, a politician is insane to be against the people
Some legislator here is trying to do the opposite. Trying to ban edibles saying the vote of the people was for smoking mj only. Awful how in Ak or Az. it takes years after the popular vote to "allow" access to mmj. But a vote for a new tax or raise for gov workers goes into place immediately.Quote: terapinedHere in Florida we have medical MJ

But next door in Cal. or Nev. mj is recreational. A recent article is blaming mj users for total sales declining in Az. who only voted for medical mj. The gov. wrote a big story about how users just want a medical card so they don't get arrested, but buy black market or out of state.......duh. These people are horrid. Still putting people in prison for paraphernalia .

Oregon and Washington dispensaries are on another planet compared to CO, NV, or CA for price, value, quality. Quality maybe the same planet, price is on another level than other legal states for sure.

Glad to see you bring this up. Ron told the legislators to fix this or he would. I’ll accept you giving him 1/2 credit for believing he is not insane.
Noticed a couple of dispensarys in those group of small shops on the strip in that area.
So cool
Can walk down the strip and stop in to get a quick pre roll. What a great city

Really? I'm pretty sure the only marijuana dispensary on the Strip is near the Stratosphere. If there are more, I'm surprised I haven't heard about it before. There are some smoke shops, but they only sell the paraphernalia, unless I'm mistaken.

I have noticed a lot more dispensaries throughout Vegas in the last couple months. I thought it was pretty tightly regulated and they were only allowing a limited number. they must have expanded that number. I am seeing dispensaries fairly close to other dispensaries.
One location that has made me laugh since they opened is 2 dispensaries almost next to each other on Flamingo across the street from the Palms (between Gold Coast and Arville). You have a dispensary, then a Sonic fast food, then another dispensary. That Sonic is well placed for patrons with the "munchies". lol
I still don't object to people doing it if they want. I am a big do what ever kind of guy. But I do worry about all the public smoking (and driving). It was supposed to be you could buy it for consumption in your home and that is not what happened. At least it is taxed and money going for public programs and use instead of just the dealers pockets.

I don’t really understand this viewpoint unless consuming alcohol in public also bothers you, then I could understand. Maybe because it’s more normalized and therefore just accepted, but of the two it’s not the one influencing most of the bad decisions.
Quote: billryanIn my experience, which is now one year out of date, the closer to the strip, the more you pay. I found the best deals in the area west of the Palms. You have to shop around, but there were apps that alerted you to where that day's sales were. The ones in the actual City of Las Vegas charged more and had higher taxes than the rest.
Mr. "Shad" is a stoner! who would have thought. lol

They advertised pre rolls and edibles. Surprised it took so long. Perfect for an impulse buy to consume immediately. There 2 of them and definitely dispensarys with the obvious security that comes with these places. I'm assuming it's still a cash only business
Dispensary on the strip next to the Travelodge entrance between MGM and PH
Guard at the entrance
Asked for ID
Checked out the goods
Saw the flower in glass jars.
Only open 3 days
It's a pretty small shop
Also sells pipes
Onto the next shop only a block away. It's much bigger.
Right on the strip between MGM and PH by Harmon Ave
Gated courtyard
Guard asks for ID
Been selling flower on the strip for a year
Saw flower in glass jars
Very nice store but also small
They also have an indoor location across the street right next to the rainforest cafe
Did not buy anything. Probably high prices
MJ is expensive here
I was in Yuma last month. Made the short drive to CA and got a good deal
Get to Vegas, disappointed in prices
Took the drive out to Death Valley yesterday, got a good deal at a place just outside the park in CA
Whos's got good deals in Vegas
I see a lot of advertising competition
but
Dont see it in the prices
Where do you shop?
