Title: What pot strains are you using?
Post by: Dave on January 19, 2019, 10:31:36 AM
A comment in another thread, and now that the stigma of pot usage is not what it was, made me think now might be a good time for this post. 

I have used pot off and on (mostly on) for over 50 years, and am a huge booster of the stuff. My go to strain nowadays is a mainly indica hybrid called Trainwreck; I have a high tolerance level so the >20% THC level works for me.  Another hybrid favorite is Blueberry- very nice flavor with a smooth, even high.

My favorite sativa is Durban Poison, but is not always available at Indigenous Bloom, the Chilliwack FN store I frequent.  Properly grown Durban, with it’s original genetics, has a licorice/anise flavor and is perfect for using while doing something active, such as angling, or in my case, dog walking.

With pot available on line and in a few stores, purchasing small quantities for tasting is now possible, so the question is, what have you been trying?

Be brave folks, come out of the closet ;D

I'm afraid to smoke pot.
My fear lies in the possibility that I may like it ( stoned feeling /relaxation ) .
Then it would be another go to product added to my red wine costs. $$$$ with wings.
Good on you for coming out of the closet. People should have zero guilt smoking pot & more so that it is legal. Knowing Rodney he may try to make a fish bait made with some pot. Who knows maybe it would be the magic fish bait!   ;D
Really surprised just how many types or strains there is. But have heard a few horror stories in recent pot recalls. Pot is mouldy or something????
In this crazy world we all need to chill out / relax/ escape. We just can't afford to fly to some exotic vacation place...just a glass or two of red wine or joint will do.
Hopefully Health Canada oks CBD oil as results are in. Helps the body's ills from A-Z.
Made from pot/hemp without 99% of the THC. Had some ordered & on route from the USA only for order to reverse & go back to the warehouse.  >:(
This CBD had a delivery system that had 80% of the oil to be absorbed into the body. Other CBD oil may have only 10-20% & 80% the body eliminates. 
Sorry Dave cannot help ya on your direct ?. Keep enjoying your buzz.
Thought I'd smell pot odour when pedal bike riding but nope.
Assume in Spring & Summer more people will be toking about.  ;D

based on the amount of pot I smell while fishing the river I would sat there's a ton of people on this forum that are "in the closet"
Personally I don't smoke it myself but don't have any issue with others using it.

This is the General area...read the definition: ask a fishy ? Or share your thoughts...make friends...or simply say hi ...something like that anyways...so ya talk fish or just anything general in everyday life issues of interest.
There's another area titles Fishing Issues & news idea...well for sure the posts are 100% on fishing.
Some people are so negative if they did not complain or criticize they would have nothing to say it appears. Say Amen or ouch or no way if that's you  ;D
Dave take criticism from others with a grain of salt. Keep your head up high & higher.

Agree.
Guess it will take so few years for a % of the public to accept pot as a normal accepted product. Some still see it as "drugs" thus lump all products pot LSD crack speed smack H etc...in the same box.
Responsible adults are having beer wine & pot.
They are not having beer wine pot & LSD crack H & so on...
If my son ate lots of daily junk food bacon sausages ice cream pies fries potatoe chips milk shakes sugar drinks on & on I'd be concerned than if he smoked a few joints weekly.
Of course anything can be abused...pot head. Smokes too much. Everything in moderation.
But the bottom line is pot should be accepted & not thought of being a live grenade or lit stick of dynomite .
Gee medications from are pharmacies have more side effects than 10 weekly joints.
Use it responsibly & no problem...
Alcohol food pot or anything can be abused..but that's done by un responsible people with no back bone.
Like the gambler who gets mad the door staff did not stop him at the casino door.
No back bone. Say they did stop him. What then stops him going in the mall or 7-11 & buying $$$$ in lottery tickets !!!!!!!
Be a responsible person in what ever ya do including driving on the road or mowing the grass if ya want to keep your toes. That's what an adult is. Make adult choices.

I'm assuming you drink alcohol at times? So never done it in front of minors? Weather you use pot or not it is just as legal as alcohol and if you think kids havent/wont be exposed to it even more often the alcohol (high school kids smoke during the day, dont see alot of them drinking on thier lunch hour) then your delusional.

Okay, so I have stepped on a few toes.  Sorry for that, but my point is exactly what has happened here. Not one of you have answered the original question on what kind of pot you like to smoke. That is why you would be better served with this discussion on a website that caters to these types of questions or discussions.  Most people dont go to a fishing website to discuss pot.  Just like you don't go to a gun website do discuss beauty products, but then again maybe you do.  Precentage of users here seem pretty low, but I could be wrong.  Tightlines

I’m with Jamier, a discussion board is no place to have a discussion. Especially a board that is labelled “General Discussion”.
If it was appropriate to comment on anything not acceptable to a “General” discussion I would have mentioned the fact that,historically, pot was (and is) supplied by a black market group of growers and labelling could not be considered truthful which would make the discussion superfluous. So not only is this inappropriate it is pointless until a regulated market evolves. And I vape indica so the strain is unimportant because of the “distillation” process but I won’t mention that. And everyone that I know that is on this board uses pot, literally, everyone.

I grew up in the sixties when wine was red and could be drunk or used to remove paint, coffee was perked until you could chew it, beers came in stubbies and they all tasted the same, and good weed was any weed someone would pass to you. Then the wine snobs elevated wine drinking to a performance art, the coffee snobs turned a cup of joe into a dessert beverage, and the beer snobs should be arrested for violations of the 1516 German Beer Purity Law. And now to top it off, the weed snobs are debating the relative merits of subtle strain variations and their euphoric effects. Getting buzzed used to be so simple…….

  ;D.  How true.
Excellent read! Some may put a spin on it & say MAN  ( & female...women 's rights parades recently so better mention them too or else ) has come a long way from the 60's till now. Maybe my nose is not as good 60 years later....because back then coffee had a great smell & taste. Aroma plus.

Oh yeah, like somehow in your '60's they didn't call that wine porch climber because of the effect it had or they didn't pretend that when "I drink rum I lose it but if I drink beer I'm okay"? Because in my  '60's they sure did. Berrycup and Applejack and the old classic, Calona Red in the jug with the finger hole. And don't get me started on the biggest myth of all. Lemon Gin.

Read this post after having a few puffs. A few comments:

Aboater: ok, first, you are seriously AFRAID to try weed because you might like it? That makes about as much sense as saying you are afraid to try cheesecake becuase you heard it is good, and you are afraid you might like it a bit too much and get fat. For the love of god try some damn weed and if you like it, use/consume it in moderation like a responsible adult. If you don't like it, then you can steer clear of the stuff and not have to think anymore "I wonder..." And why would you order CBD oil from the USA when it available online and in stores in your own country!? Are you sure you are not high?

Also, you kind of contradicted your self in this discussion by saying you are afraid to try pot, but in another recent discussion (Four topics pick your choice if ya want to comment) you said "... 80s 90s 2000s ....60s & 70s yes. Joints smoked the size of cigars." So you have tried weed, and by the sounds of it you tried it a LOT. I realize the 60s and 70s were a while ago, and contemporary weed is a lot higher in THC than it was in your wild years. But surely you have some memories of what it was like to be high? Enjoyable? Awful? Surely this data could be extrapolated and an educated guess could be made if you'd enjoy "trying" weed at your present age.

Jamier, anything is fair game in the "General Discussion" of a public forum. If the topic does not interest you, then ignore it. It's not like Dave posted a question about how to crochet a dish cloth; but if he did, that would still be copasetic. A lot of fishermen/fishermen smoke weed on and/or off the water. It's a relevant topic with respect to fishing, hunting, skiing, sasquatch tracking, and so on. It's a plant that, for some people, enhances thier outdoor experience. Not much different than the person who smokes some tobacco on the river and has a slice of bananna bread.* It would be better for you to have some organic kale chips and not smoke anything, but common man... ya gotta live a little!

I know your type, the guy who drinks 9 beers at the family BBQ, falls on and breaks a table, tells everyone off and makes a big scene, but turns his nose up at the neighbours who spark up a dube. Calling them "skids."

Despite weed now being legal, it will take a WHILE for (some) people's attitudes to change surrounding its use. Maybe one day I'll see weed cookies at the family Thanksgiving dinner? I doubt it, but you just never know. Of course getting more than half drunk and eating enough fat and sugar to give you a jammer is still socially acceptable. We have a long way to go, but we'll get there - baby steps.

And finally, I buy/like whatever is on sale. Personally don't notice a huge diff between strains. For me it's either "good" (strong, fresh smelling/tasting) or "bad" (weak, dry, little smell/taste left).
Perhaps as time passes and consumption increases my "pallet" will improve.

Thank you, Dave, for posting this.

* = oh f**ing great, it's almost midnight and now I'm craving bananna bread :(

While I totally agree that thinking alcohol use is acceptable and marijuana use isn't is ridiculous I don't think it's fair for you to assume that Jamier is the guy that gets loaded at family BBQs and makes a huge scene.

;D    Well SS I'm typing without any puffs on a joint.  Your points are well taken. Lots of logic to them
Ya I did smoke truckloads of pot & beer after beer in the 60s & 70s & let's include Afgan hash & blonde & some dark sticky hash or whatever it was called. Plus think it was thai elephant pot where a toke or 2 got ya blasted. Some in my group used the chemicals LSD MDA speed ....me just very little of that.
Sadly one guy really flipped out & even landed in a psy hospital...& the booze had me land up in police stations guessing about 7-10 x ??? Drunk tank. Vancouver Burnaby & Coquitlam . So ya know all about it.  Doctor has told me my liver has been damaged by alcohol.
So I try to keep it to drinking only 1/2 bottle 2x a week.
But ya the wine & music is just too good ...& 1 bottle of wine is consumed in a setting.
As far as smoking weed again yes I know the effects of being stoned is a good feeling but knowing me I may like it so much my budget will be $$$$ for wine $$$$$ for pot & $$$$ for buying Chick cartoon gospel tracts....plus pay the everyday costs & bills to live on this earth.
Plus honestly I just do not want to toke up 8-10 x a week because if I start smoking pot that would be my minimum to smoke up.  Knowing me. Plus do like to ride my pedal bike & I just do not want to put smoke in my lungs.  Basically satisfied with red wine. Now I am on a mission of will power to limit it to 1 bottle per week & only 1/2 bottle at a setting. But all power to ya if ya smoke pot responsibly.
We all have one life to live out & it's choices galore we make before we meet our Maker. In my thinking pot smoking is ok & the Good Lord is not against using it. Eating junk food is worse.
Yes I did order CBD oil from the USA as you know is a health product & ya will not get a buzz or stone from it. Ordered that brand because the company said their product get whatever 80-90 % absorbed by the body. Most other companies 80% of the product CBD oil goes straight out ...in your urine or whatever. But because of Health Canada etc...dragging their feet with regulations Fedex reversed my package & back to it's USA warehouse it went & back to supplier.

Never have as had no need too but if it helps health issues for some I see nothing wrong with it then I guess. I dislike the smell of it and cig's too and we all know cigarette smoking is bad for you so not sure how smoking marijuana is any different, throw in farmed salmon too as a no go. :P

This topic doesnt bother me. The smell does. Same goes for cigs. The stigma still remains in my eyes. I used to toke in my early 20's. Glad I quit. I can still remeber how useless I felt. Like a perpetual state of existing with no gains. No goals and no real success. I quit, my career took off, started a business, own multiple properties, new vehicles, a nice boat and a family. I'm sure there are some successful potheads out there but the majority of stoners I know are losers. Legalization is nothing more than the federal government dumbing down the population so they wont question anything. Think about it. The government can supply you with a high and booze. Why ? To control you.

how is the government selling booze and pot controlling anyone? dale gribble talking going on here

so it didn't work for you, don't assume everyone else is going to have the same outcome. i know lots of people with all things you listed that smoke and consume. economic opportunities don't care if you smoke pot or not. again end the stigma.

also everyone has different views on what they consider "successful". not all people measure material stuff as successful. at least i don't.  don't take it personally. i congratulate you on your success and as long as your happy, that's all that matters

to me do what ever makes you happy as long as it does not negativity effect other people.

The stigma will always be there. The feds are trying hard to end it with creative language. Even the police are calling it Cannabis now. Before the language was Marijuana. Cannibis just has a sophisticated ring to it. It's an age old technique. You change the language and you change perception. Even Terrorists are called extremists now. It's a little less offensive I guess.

i don't believe the stigma will always be there. i think the stigma will end when a certain age group passes on. this age group were brainwashed by propaganda and now believe it has fact. i hardly meet any young people whether they smoke it or not have such strong opinions on the matter as the latter group.  just my 2 cents

I'll second that .. when I told my grandson I smoked pot he said, "so"?  Non pot smokers about my age, however,  thought I was on my way to snorting cocaine or injecting heroin.

I really hope the stigma attached does disappear, but it's going to take a while. 
For the fence sitters out there, give it a try, you just might like it. And, sex is great when you're buzzed (if I remember correctly) ;D

My old man is the biggest closet stoner you ever met. I remember fishing brown road with him 10 years ago. I would lite while we were walking the trail. One time a women was walking towards us but about a hundred yards away and he wanted to duck in the bushes for cover. I'm like forget it she's a mile away. Relax!!

I feel bad for people like him and they are out there. I think alot of the paranoia people get on weed is stemmed from the risk of getting caught or judged.

It is commonly known that smoking cannabis can produce a number of effects in the average person that resemble some of the symptoms of psychosis. These include anxiety, paranoia and delusional beliefs. Generally, these effects are fairly short-lasting, and there are no remaining problems after the drugs have worn off.

Researchers are now concerned that there may be a small proportion of the general population who are much more vulnerable to the effects of cannabis. With enough use of the drug, these people may develop long-lasting or even permanent psychosis.

Paranoia feeling ya that jogs a memory. 99% no paranoia as ya feel mellow & like listening some music or communication seems more exciting & laugh at whatever. But ya 1% of the time we'd as a group in the stone felt paranoid.
Four of us were going to a movie theatre in New Westminster ..Odeon Theatre on 6th St. We drove around the block where the theatre was, lighting up joint after joint as we wanted to get stoned for the movie. The smoke filled the car & we opened the window & though it's dark & rainy we are so so paranoid a New Westminster police car may be in the area. It was like our heads were turning 360 looking for a police car to pop out from somewhere. 80% sure the police were about to stop us.
 Well none did & when buying movie tickets we were trying to look normal ....finally after getting into our seats we started to enjoy the night....back in the 70s.
But once a friend & I drove motor bikes for hrs going up logging roads & into a mountainous area in the Caribou. Then we got into a really nice flat meadow area. Spaced trees & nice 6-8 inch grass...we put up a small tent & then noticed there were a herd of cows in this area!!! Sure surprised us. Anyways we lit up some hash in a pipe my friend made out of a plant & hallowed it out ...put aluminium foil over hole taped it with a bandaid so foil stayed put. Put some little holes in foil. Had the hash but no pipe so my friend was so creative to make a pipe right then & there. Placed hash lit & toked up. We had to lay on our backs & toke as the self made pipe was about 4-5 inches long & straight. As we passed it to each other we had to be careful to keep the pipe straight up facing the sky sort of idea. ( we were in the tent ) But that hash got us so ripped & maybe because we were quite tired from riding motor bikes all day on logging roads that 40% of the time had big loose rocks & ya had to make sure ya did not wipe out. It was so beautiful & peaceful,stars, getting dark out & no wind , nice & warm. But then we just got super paranoid thoughts.
The cows were about 25-40 yds away just standing there & most were looking at us. Then both of us literally got this crazy idea that these were past human beings that after they died came back as these cows. It was like the spirit of that cow was really a human being looking at us but in cow external form.
Somehow we came up with the idea ,we knew what these cows were planning. In the middle of the night these cows are planning to come over to our camping tent & walk on top of it ( small 2 person tent ) & trample us!!!!! .We were totally convinced of this. So we must of spent one hour gathering branches / small logs just anything to create a fence or barrier around our tent for protection. We must of got those branches / logs built at least 2.5-3 ft high & in a big circle around our tent. So we went to bed & slept good.  In the am it's a nice bright sunny day & no longer stoned we exited the tent with the plan to ride our bikes back down the mt. to the cabin by the lake where we are staying.  To our surprise the fence we built that was 2.5 /3 ft high was totally scattered about. Not one place was there a fence. Totally scattered !!!
We thought the cows must of come close to our tent & just knocked the branches / small logs down but how they scattered them so flat & not somehow trampling our small tent is beyond me. Or waking us up??? Crazy. But that is how hash affected us that time. 99% of the time nothing like this happens when smoking pot or hash.
Pot is legal now of course & think hash is also a choice / option that people can buy also ( ???? ) so ya pot & hash at times can get ya paranoid. Will just stick to my red wine. Oh ya 45 nearly 50 yrs later I still have that home made plant pipe my friend made up on that mountain. Never used it again but the bandaid aluminium foil etc ...it's still intact. It 's in some storage box.

Watch out for pot.. it's a gateway drug to harder drugs concocted by Satan himself. Heathen thy sinners. Yall need to find Hesus.

That being said check out "Stressed and depressed" on 41st and knight in Vancouver. Just need I.D and over 18. $60 half ounzes from the vending machine that are KILLER bud, or 7$ a gram from the various choices of jar stock at the counter. I haven't been smoking lately but I get it for my brother from there and have got it there for a few years. I'll be sad when the stupid new prices of the government kick in someday.

 ;D
Drugs only...your just touching the tip of the iceberg. Tons of more tricks & devices "Mr Darkness" uses .
His tackle box is full of lures. He's reeling them in left & right.  ;D
But getting back to pot...& wine I have a faith yes but see no problem with these in moderation. Harder drugs yes of course stay away !!!

Stressed and depressed are the old owners of the bc pain society location at Broadway and renfrew. The vending machines are great. There is another BC Pain Society located at commercial and 16th. Same deal, 18+ Vending machines with $60/$70/$80 half’s and counter sales.

BCPS used to carry the honey oil cartridges for those small battery vaporizers. Unfortunately the guy who made them doesn’t anymore. Distillates and oils aren’t regulated yet so they cannot be sold. The oil pens are wicked though 90+% THC and no smell. In laws are over dinner....take a 5min trip to the garage , couple puffs and your good to go.

Medi Cana on boundary and Hastings has a version of the honey pens made by elite extracts. It’s pretty decent for $50. If your looking to get stoned and not smell this is for you.

I agree the stigma will disappear with the generation that was brough up to believe it is the "devils lettuce" and will lead you to shooting up in no time. As with any vice if you do it excessively it will have a negative effect but put that beside excessive use of alcohol and I would say those effects are minimal in comparison. In my experience I have found the people I have been around who get anxiety/paranoia feel that way when smoke sativa strains, which is more of a "head high" in comparison to indicas being more of a body melo high. My better half simply can not smoke sativa for this reason. To me personally I dont have an issue smoking either so I stick to indicas simply so she can partake when she feels like it. I enjoy rockstar, bubba death kush, black ice and high octain strains as of late.

been using purepull brand sativa oil carts lately. switching over to extracts and a vape pen has been a total game changer.

vaping CBD has pretty much eliminated tylenol/asprin and I can hike hard with zero pain,aches or soreness the next day.

This topic doesnt bother me. The smell does. Same goes for cigs. The stigma still remains in my eyes. I used to toke in my early 20's. Glad I quit. I can still remeber how useless I felt. Like a perpetual state of existing with no gains. No goals and no real success. I quit, my career took off, started a business, own multiple properties, new vehicles, a nice boat and a family. I'm sure there are some successful potheads out there but the majority of stoners I know are losers. Legalization is nothing more than the federal government dumbing down the population so they wont question anything. Think about it. The government can supply you with a high and booze. Why ? To control you.

Wow. How old are you? Mid to late 90s? Seems some people are still stuck in the "reefer madness" way of thinking. So weed was not for you. So what. Now I would not disagree that SOME people who are weed pigs would qualify as "losers." I've met a few, stoned 24/7, no ambition, talk like they've had a stroke. However, the vast majority (!) of people with a little common sense do not smoke a pound of the stuff every day. Think of it like booze, a bit in moderation is fine for most people. Some people can't touch a drop without turning into a complete jerk. Most of my friends would qualify as "successful," most have a good job and nice homes/stuff, an undergraduate degree or higher, and guess what - most smoke a bit of weed! One guy is an accomplished MMA fighter. To believe that the "majority of stoners are losers" is incredibly inaccurate and myopic. About as logical as saying most people that eat McDonalds are fat. Weed - like alcohol or any other drug - affects each person differently, and each individual needs to judge if it is alright for them to use a little, a lot, or none at all.
And as for the government using weed to keep us dumb and control us? Really? I hope that comment was tongue and cheek. If you are actually serious you need to seriously pull your head out of your rectum and hang out with some intelligent pot smokers. Would change your perspective fast. Lastly I'll say that the most intelligent person I know, some would describe him as "intimidatingly smart," is a regular cannibas user; also is funny the guy can't touch a drop of booze as it turns him into a Neanderthal.

It is commonly known that smoking cannabis can produce a number of effects in the average person that resemble some of the symptoms of psychosis. These include anxiety, paranoia and delusional beliefs. Generally, these effects are fairly short-lasting, and there are no remaining problems after the drugs have worn off.

Researchers are now concerned that there may be a small proportion of the general population who are much more vulnerable to the effects of cannabis. With enough use of the drug, these people may develop long-lasting or even permanent psychosis.

Holy smokes man. You must be a hit at parties! "You know, that dip is high in trans fats, which are correlated with heart disease." "Hey there, I couldn't help but notice you've had more than 4 drinks in two hours. Technically your consumption would qualify as binge drinking."

And yes, in some cases cannabis has triggered symptoms consistent with psychosis. However, this is not the norm (!) Like you said "small proportion." In other words, who cares? If you try it and don't enjoy it, then don't use it again. Most people I know who tried it and did not enjoy it simply don't try it again. Kind of like people of lose their minds on booze, hopefully you have enough common sense to lay off the stuff.

FYI there pal I pulled that word for word off of the provincial government website related to ( their research ) on Cannibis. The very people that sell you the dope openly tell you what the risks are.

The erratic jibber jabber you've been spewing here shows me how unstable a real chronic user of cannibis can be. There are plenty of "normal" users but you my friend are going off the deep end. The stigma is well and alive with you. Get a grip !

Sorry to point out another obvious error in your posts but the provincial government doesn't sell pot. And I would not live my life by what the government tells me, they are actually really just people with all the biases and misconceptions that are present in society and they tailor the message to get themselves elected again.

Alright alright, I think we got off on the wrong foot here. I say we hug it out, fist pump, agree to disagree.
I would like to propose a party at Dave's house for all involved in this discussion!
Jamier, H&F, and others can try cannabis in a safe environment. In the unlikely event one of develops paranoia and needs a safe space, the safe-word is "adipose." We'll find you a dark room or something.
A-Boater will have his own impromptu stand up comedy show.
Maybe Dave will even demo part of a rod build for those interested?!
I'll take care of the midget strippers?

So true, mostly marketing I suppose. I think I once read all pot available today is from about a dozen different varieties, from 3 sub groups: sativa, indica, and ruderalis.
Anyone have more info?

It's funny, some of the most uptight, sphincters clenched 24/7, stressed out, high blood pressure, trouble sleeping, people I have met are often the same people who truly believe cannabis is "the Devil's lettuce." It's ironic as they are the ones who would likely benefit the most from its usage! To add further insult to injury, most of these people are on all sorts of prescription meds for this and that: pain … insomnia … stress … anxiety … different prescription meds to counter the negative side effects of other prescription meds, you get the picture.

Now, I am not saying cannabis is the panacea for all ailments, and I'm certainly not saying that there are not some cases where pharmaceutical meds are the best choice.
However, if you rely on pills and/or booze to relax, or sleep, or whatever, you might be surprised to find out that cannabis works equally as well, or better, and has less undesirable side effects.

Myself, booze is not really for me. I enjoy the odd single malt scotch and a good wine or dark beer with a nice meal. I don't enjoy the feeling of being drunk, and if I do get pissed I will pay for it for days. The effects of cannabis, by contrast, I find much more enjoyable and relaxing, and the next day I feel like a spring chicken. Zero hangover.

I can totally respect people who gave it a try and just did not like it for whatever reason. I have no respect for people who have not tried it (or have but it was pushing half a century ago) and insist on preaching about its dangers/evils, how it makes you a useless automaton, and how bad it is for your body and brain. You are dinosaurs and one day your dated views will be extinct.

This thread is more entertaining than useful for the layman......

I don't agree with the back and forth of the users and non users, fun dialogue but it accomplishes absolutely zip. I'm more curious about the possible health benefits that come with legalization and removing the taboo culture that came with it. Surely the cannabinoid receptors have just as big of a part to play as our opioid receptors when it comes to medical advancement. (Please don't crucify this with post some fentanyl OD rhetoric as every substance has abusers and sad outcomes)

Meh, "general discussion" board on a free fishing forum website. If you are looking for the latest empirical studies on the health benefits of THC/CBC then I think you came to the wrong website.
Sorry, that came across a bit dickish. You raise some valid points.
I like this discussion as it helps to remove the stigma and I've learned a few new strains I plan to test out.

Perhaps Spawn Sack if you didn't want everyone to retaliate to your comments with such hostility, you would remove everything in your post previous to the word dickish....... Maybe keep those thoughts to yourself.

I thought a mere suggestion of potential health benefits as the taboo culture of it erodes and gives way to forward thinking and potential medical advancements may steer this topic back towards the original intent of the thread, instead of the yin and yang of users and non users.  ::)

Whoa! Pump the brakes there big rig! If you think "everyone retaliate[d] to [my] comments with such hostility" you may want to re-read all comments made. Sure a few users and I do not see eye to eye, but that's about it.

Meh anyway, I will agree that the intent of this thread is being lost in bickering, so I'll add something constructive.

Not saying my belief has any merit, but I don't like the smell of weed on my hands when fishing. I feel it will get transferred to my bait/gear and "may" repel the fish. I prefer to bring an oil pen with me fishing. You can not choose your strain for the brand I buy (Pure Pull) it only comes in indica, sativa, and I think also hybrid. I typically buy the sativa. The 1g refills are pricey, $80! But the convenience is hard to beat. No smell on you or your gear. The product is not as potent as the "real thing" but it does the job if you just want to get a bit of a buzz on. Sometimes I will chow a ginger snap cookie from IB in Chilliwack. 30mg of THC. The punch they pack seems like they have more. They give me a good body stone for 5ish hours. I rarely take steelheading as I find I'm more clumsy climbing over logs and so on. Better for meat hole fishing for fall salmon.

Also I am interested in getting a CBD oil cartridge for my pen. I tried CBD oil orally for about a month and it did nothing for my occasional back pain. I didnt buy another bottle when that one was done. I'm curious if CBD vaped in a pen would work better. I think that'll be my next purchase.

While Indica strains provide more relief for pain and aid in sleep and curb nausea, hybrids of Indica/Sativa are more recreational and can offer a more energetic high. Pure Sativa strains allow one to be more productive and can produce bouts of laughter.

With todays open market availability and competition to sell marijuana to the public, the quest for fancy names to draw in consumers has become quite comical.

Basically strains are based on where in the world they were derived from. All these cross breeds are just small changes to the strain.

The strongest Indica strains derive from the Hindu Kush Mountain areas. These are the mother strains of most of the high THC strains we see today.

I believe alot of false hope is placed on CBD and its medicinal function. Most medicinal benefits from the Marijuana plant come from the full plant, with THC being very important in this medicinal benefit.
I understand people want the benefits but often do not want the associated high that goes with it. So the industry has promoted CBD as some magical cure all of many ailments.

I used "phoenix tears" oil when going through Cancer treatment. It was absolutely critical to me for pain relief, curbing nausea and providing a much more daily happiness than the over priced and ineffective Hydro Morphone. While the nurses at the Cancer Clinic didn't like to hear I was eating the Oil they would daily comment on how well I was doing and how healthy I was looking.

As far as strains go, its is way more important how it is grown than the actual strain. When a grower strives for quantity it severly affects quality.

There are people out there who are growing organically and never use pesticides. The Govt approved Licenced Producers are NOT these people.
I will never ever use these products.

Do you really trust Corporations, producing Marijuana strictly for profit?

Not me, NEVER.

BentRodsGuiding as your post mentions the medical benefits of CBD oil. Heard many users tell of feeling less stressed,body pains gone,helping in healing,& deeper sleep. So many more stories told by users.
SS some posts ago ya said I should come out of the closet ... ;D
Yes I was at one time a heavy pot smoker many many moons ago....but to come out & say I smoke presently. No way Hosea ! When I look back it was fun at the time but now have zero attraction to wanting to toke up.
Do not like the smell it creates & do not want smoke in my lungs. Once could barely go past a bar without going in for a few brews. Today I never go in bars. Zero attraction. Before was a womanizer but today faithful to wife & have zero attraction to chase ladies. Oh ya tomorrow is my birthday. I 'll be 110 yrs. old.  Maybe age has something to do with it or just the fear of God.  ;D
Some red wine ,Elvis music etc...is my vices ...but all power to ya & other pot smokers!
Dif stroke for dif folk.
Edit in: ok not posted for a few days. That was tough to do. Anyways surfaced to post again. GordJ bless his heart showed me the error of my ways( posted too much) posted today so it bye for now again  ;D
Dive dive dive ....take her down to 100 meters. )
