💖 Altnoids Japan Beginner’s Guide. *updated.

Welcome to [r/AltnoidsJapan](r/AltnoidsJapan).👍✌️💚😛

This is a community of nearly 5,000 people who enjoy legal cannabinoids in Japan. It is a positive and helpful space. Be civil, be kind, and don’t be a dick. If you don’t have something nice or constructive to say, keep it to yourself. If you have something critical but useful, say it politely. There is no need to belittle anyone for knowing less than you.

Rules (short version)

Legal cannabinoids only. No illegal content and do not ask about it.

Be civil.

No customer-service questions directed at vendors.

No talk about metabolite drug testing.

No low-quality or disturbing/explicit content.

Occasional light questions about legal alternative psychedelics are tolerated if they stay rare (roughly once a month maximum). For proper discussion go to [r/japanacid](r/japanacid).

How to use this sub

Most common questions have already been answered.

Before you post:

Check the sticky posts. There are dedicated stickies for Tokyo shops, the Osaka scene, and a regularly updated list of online stores.

Use the search bar.
Search by compound name, acronym, “pens”, “batteries”, city name, or whatever you need. A lot of useful information is already here.

Only make a new inquiry post if a proper search turns up nothing useful.

Direct vendor promotions are not allowed and will be removed immediately. User reviews and samples sent for review are fine and appreciated.

What are cannabinoids / altnoids?

Cannabinoids are compounds that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system.
Altnoids (alternative cannabinoids) are hemp-derived or semi-synthetic compounds that produce effects similar to, but distinct from, classic THC.

DNG originally referred to CBD, CBN and CBG.
The “N” (CBN) has been illegal since 1 June 2026, so the old DNG label is now outdated. CBD and CBG remain legal.

Japanese legal landscape
Japan has some of the strictest cannabis-related laws in the world.

The rules change roughly every six months. This post will try to stay current, but always double-check the latest MHLW notices and this subreddit before buying or using anything new.

The Japanese market does not deal in K2, Spice, or similar full-agonist synthetic cannabinoids. You do not need to worry about those substances here.

Currently treated as legal / still circulating

CBD

CBG

H4CBD

H4CBH

HHBD

CBX

THCNM

CRDH / RDH
(and a few similar newer compounds that have not been designated)

Clearly banned / no longer available
CBN (banned since 1 June 2026)

HHC and most of its close analogues

THCP, THCH and related longer-side-chain compounds

THCO / HHC-O types

Classic THC itself

Many compounds listed in the old 2025 guide have simply disappeared from the market even if they were never formally designated.
Residual Δ9-THC limits still apply to all products:
Oils and powders: 10 ppm

Most other products: 1 ppm

Aqueous solutions: 0.1 ppm

Anything over those limits is treated as a narcotic.

A note on effects

Please stop comparing everything to THC.

Even though we are dealing with cannabinoids, the difference is more like wine versus vodka than the same drink in different strengths. What hits one person a certain way may not hit another the same. Approach every new compound with caution, start low, and give your body time to respond.

Final advice

If you are coming to Japan, planning to try a new product, or hear about something new on the market, check this subreddit first. The landscape moves fast.
Contribute when you can — honest product reviews are always welcome.

Enjoy the community. ✌️💚

I thought a few of you might find this useful, a list of physical store locations in Tokyo where you can pick up CBD and cannabinoid products.

I should be upfront though: I don't live in Tokyo and I've never personally visited any of these stores. This is just what I was able to put together after doing a fair bit of research.

I've done my best to make sure the information is accurate, but things change, stores move, close, or change their hours, so please double-check before making a trip.

If anything here is wrong, or if you know of a store I've missed that you think is worth visiting, please drop it in the comments below. This is meant to be a living resource, and your local knowledge is way more valuable than my Google searches. 🙏

Discussion CBX edibles anywhere?

5 Upvotes

I recently tried a CBX pen I got off Amazon and it was surprisingly effective. However vapes and smoking in general doesn't do much for me so I'd prefer some kind of edible. I've searched online but can't seem to find any.

Any recommendations? And if not CBX edibles, any edibles people have tried recently that they can recommend?

Gifted Review Review: TakeCBDlab’s H4DBX Stankonya vs H4CBX Gorilla Glue

Thumbnail
maryjaneinjapan.com
5 Upvotes

I’ve been spending some quality time with two carts from TakeCBDlab, and oh, do I have some thoughts! Especially about those terpenes. You know your girl loves a good funky flavour, and one of these beauties really understood the assignment.

First up, 🦨 Stankonya (CBX 42% / H4CBD 42% / CRDB 8%). Oh my goodness, the terps! Funky cheese, musky herbs, a little sweetness and even a sneaky hint of mint on the exhale. Easily one of the tastiest carts I’ve tried. The effects were very cerebral, happy, uplifting and surprisingly social. Definitely made me want to chat and enjoy some company.

🦍 Gorilla Glue (CBX 50% / H4CBD 42%), on the other hand, was a different beast. Much milder flavour, with subtle pine, gas and earthy notes. The head high was still substantial, but I felt more introspective and content just chilling out and doing my own thing.

Both kicked in within roughly 10 minutes, lasted around 3–4+ hours, and were exceptionally smooth. Very little body high with either, and no unpleasant effects during my sessions.

The interesting bit? Stankonya replaces 8% CBX with CRDB. Whether that contributed to its brighter, more sociable personality is anyone’s guess, especially with the different terpene blends. But it certainly made for an interesting comparison!

My verdict: Stankonya wins on flavour and sociability, while Gorilla Glue is lovely for a quieter evening.

Neither struck me as beginner-friendly, though, and research on these blends is limited. I’ve written up the full review with scores, flavour breakdowns and my experience over time over on the blog:
https://maryjaneinjapan.com/index.php/2026/10/27/takecbdlabreview/

Curious whether anyone else has tried TakeCBDlab, particularly their other terpene profiles? TakeCBDlab is also reformulating, so these exact blends may no longer be available but it looks like they’ve always got something in the works like upcoming UK cheese terps that I’m especially intrigued by! 👀

TakeCBDlab sells on Mercari linked via their X account @takeshit710

Problems when using battery-powered devices without a preheat function

2 Upvotes

It doesn't have a separate preheat function and is fixed at 3.2V

I have a battery-powered device. Does having a preheat function or not greatly affect the taste and flavor during vaping?

There are no buttons It doesn't even have a display

Discussion Types of Side Effects

1 Upvotes

Different types of Altnoids have their own characteristic symptoms, right? For example, abdominal pain and diarrhea are common to all of them, but I’ve recently noticed that when I take THA (THCNM), I get a really runny nose.

Has anyone else experienced this?

It’s not a big deal—the runny nose stops once the effects wear off—but I just thought it was an interesting symptom...

general advice Need help finding the right noids for sleep

1 Upvotes

For a few years, the good folks in this group have helped me find stuff to help with sleep and staying asleep. At home I use THC+CBN edibles. But, with the ever-changing laws in Japan, most of what i used on past trips (like Happy9 Happy Sleep) are now gone bec of the CBN ban. Now, I'm just totally confused, regardless of how much i research!

Hopefully I can find stuff on Amazon as I need it delivered to my hotel (which is in Makuhari, so no shops out there), and I can't figure out the bank transfer thing that other sites require for payment (would love to try Knockout Onariki Melt Night but the payment thing seemed diffcult for someone overseas?). Would Kush JP Couch Lock vape do the trick?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you! :)

Gifted Review Kush JP Just Chill — First Impressions 🍇💜

Post image
13 Upvotes

I’ve spent a couple of evenings getting acquainted with Kush JP’s new Just Chill, and ohhhh, I’m really enjoying this one.

For reference, the blend is 31% CBD, 30% CBX, and 10% CRDB, plus CBG, H4CBD, and a few other cannabinoids. Granddaddy Purple terps (CDT × BDT).

My tolerance is ridiculously high at the moment, so keep that in mind!

First Puff — Taste & Terps 🍇
Oh, these are lovely. Deep grape and dark berry with earthy, grassy, slightly herbal undertones. Fruity, but not candy-fruity. It tastes like actual cannabis rather than a grape-flavoured sweet pretending to be one.
I actually caught myself smacking my lips after the first puff. 😂

10–15 Minutes — Here We Go…
The first thing I noticed was a gentle shift in my headspace. Nothing dramatic at first, just this lovely sense of my brain starting to quiet down. And that’s something I really appreciate. Sometimes a strong cerebral buzz can send my thoughts in a million directions. This was doing quite the opposite.

25–30 Minutes — Oh, This Is Nice
Okay, now we’re getting somewhere. My mind felt wonderfully calm, and there was a definite sinking sensation starting in my body. Not heavy or uncomfortable, just really relaxed. I was sitting with my dog, perfectly happy doing absolutely nothing. No need to scroll, watch something, or entertain myself. Trust me, my brain is always going a million miles a minute so that was rare and very nice for me.

I probably could’ve gotten up and done something productive. But why ruin a perfectly good evening? 😂

Around 60 Minutes — Properly Lifted
Yep. Definitely stoned now. And feeling fantastic.
This is probably my favourite thing about Just Chill. It’s not couch lock, at least not for me. I can get up and carry on with whatever I’m doing. It just makes the whole experience feel more chill. That said, Netflix and my sofa were starting to sound pretty damn appealing.

Overall First Impressions 💜
I’d describe it as a lovely indica-leaning hybrid sort of experience. A noticeable but comfortable head high, gentle body relaxation, and this wonderful feeling of being content without needing to do much of anything. It’s relaxing without completely shutting me down, which I really appreciate.

I’m especially curious to try it with a body-scan meditation sometime. I think this could be a really nice one for quiet evenings when I just want to switch off. Still early days, and my tolerance definitely needs a little reset, but so far? Really, really lovely.

Full review coming to the blog soon, stay tuned!

Gifted Review Knockout REAL (THCNM-CRD) — First Impressions 💚

Post image
11 Upvotes

Well, I finally got my hands on Knockout’s new REAL, and after my first session, I have to say… I’m impressed!

7:50 p.m. — Two decent-sized puffs, comfortably tucked into bed. Very scientific testing conditions, obviously. 😂

Flavour-wise, it’s pleasant but fairly subtle. I picked up the papaya, a little tanginess, and an almost minty sensation in the throat. Not much lemon-lime, though. Personally, I think a more natural, strain-like flavour might suit something called REAL better, but that’s a minor complaint.

7:52 p.m. (2 minutes in): I noticed a slight uplift, although at that point I wasn’t sure whether it was the product or just me getting excited.

7:55–7:56 p.m. (5–6 minutes in): Okay, NOW we’re talking. I was unmistakably high! A lovely, pronounced cerebral buzz that seemed to sit somewhere between my ears rather than behind my eyes, if that makes sense.

The body sensation started becoming noticeable too. Warm, relaxing, and really pleasant, without that heavy, sinking feeling that makes getting off the couch seem like an unreasonable request.

8:05 p.m. (15 minutes in): By this point, everything seemed to have settled into a comfortable plateau. No long, unpredictable build like I’ve experienced with some other altnoids. Just a strong, enjoyable high that felt surprisingly natural and cannabis-like.

What really surprised me was how much it heightened my sense of touch. Definitely looking forward to exploring more of that side later. For journalism, obviously. 😂

The whole experience was lovely. Strong, definitely, but not overwhelming. It was less about sinking into my body and more about enjoying being in it.

Later that evening: I eventually fell asleep, although I couldn’t tell you exactly when. I wouldn’t necessarily call REAL a sleepy product, though. I was already in bed and winding down, after all! If anything, I’m curious to try it during the daytime because I suspect that head-forward, physically light buzz could be wonderful for music, creativity, or just enjoying an afternoon.

It’s only been one session, so I’m not ready to make any grand declarations about consistency or duration. And with something as new as THCNM-CRD, there’s still plenty we don’t know. But as far as first impressions go? A quick onset, gorgeous head buzz, and comfortable body sensation made for an exceptionally enjoyable evening.

I’ll be trying it again during the day before writing my full Mary Jane in Japan review.

Anyone else tried REAL (or THCNM at all) yet? Curious to hear your thoughts! 💚

Gifted Review Enhance Your Life - CRDB x HHBD

Post image
0 Upvotes

**Final Score: 90/100 — A (Excellent)**

🎁 **Gifted Product Disclaimer:** This product was gifted to me for review. All opinions expressed are my own honest and genuine thoughts, based on my personal experience. No gift will influence my review or rating.

📝 TL;DR

Sometimes you don't need a product that knocks your socks off. You just need something that does what it's supposed to do.

That's pretty much my experience with ENHANCE YOUR LIFE's Juicy Fruit CRDB × HHBD liquid.

The flavor is predominantly earthy cannabis, with just a faint hint of the Juicy Fruit terpene profile. Nothing particularly flashy, but not unpleasant either.

The effects take around 10–15 minutes to kick in and provide a relatively functional experience that I think works well for an afternoon pickup or an awake-and-bake session. It's not overwhelmingly heavy, and the experience lasts around 2–3 hours for me.

My biggest reservation is HHBD itself. Personally, I don't find it as impactful as some of the other cannabinoids I've tried. That doesn't mean this product doesn't work, though.

It does what it's supposed to do, and sometimes that's enough.

⭐ **Final Score: 90/100 — A (Excellent)**

⭐ Review Scores

Category |Score
Effects |8/10
Flavor |6/10
Overall |90/100 — A ### 🍍 Flavor & Aroma

Let's be honest: flavor isn't the star of the show here.

The first thing I notice is an earthy, cannabis-like flavor. There's a little Juicy Fruit terpene character underneath it, but it's subtle enough that you can barely taste it.

And to be clear, I don't mean that in a bad way.

It's not an unpleasant flavor. It's just not particularly pronounced or exciting.

Compared with my previous Cherry Bomb experience, the overall flavor impression is fairly similar in its understated nature. Juicy Fruit has a slightly different fruity character, but the terpenes aren't strong enough to make this a flavor-first cartridge for me.

If you're looking for an intense fruit or candy experience, this probably isn't going to be your favorite.

Personally, I would describe it as straightforward and functional. You're not buying this one for an incredible terpene experience.

**Flavor rating: 6/10.**

💨 The Effects

This is where Juicy Fruit makes more sense to me.

The effects feel familiar compared with my previous experiences with CRDB and HHBD products, although each formulation has its own character.

For me, the onset takes approximately 10–15 minutes.

The overall experience is relatively functional rather than overwhelmingly heavy. I can see this being a good option for an afternoon pickup or an awake-and-bake session when I'm looking for something that doesn't leave me feeling glued to the couch.

It provides a noticeable experience without feeling excessively sedating to me.

However, there's one important personal consideration: HHBD isn't one of my favorite cannabinoids when it comes to the intensity of its effects.

Compared with some of the other molecules I've tried, HHBD doesn't seem to do quite as much for me personally.

That's not necessarily a criticism of the product itself. Individual responses to cannabinoids can vary considerably, and my experience won't necessarily match yours.

The important thing is that **this formulation still works for me**.

It's just not the kind of product that leaves me blown away by its effects.

⏱️ Onset, Duration & Comedown

Here's my experience so far:

- **Onset:** Approximately 10–15 minutes.
- **Overall character:** Functional and relatively light.
- **Best fit:** Afternoon pickup or an awake-and-bake session.
- **Duration:** Approximately 2–3 hours for me.

I haven't established an exact peak time or a detailed comedown timeline, so I'm not going to invent those details.

📊 Experience Profile

Trait |My Experience
Flavor |Earthy cannabis
Fruit character |Very subtle Juicy Fruit notes
Flavor rating |6/10
Effects rating |8/10
Onset |Around 10–15 minutes
Overall character |Functional, not overly heavy
Duration |Around 2–3 hours
Preferred use |Afternoon / awake-and-bake
Main drawback |HHBD feels less impactful to me than some alternatives
Overall impression |A straightforward product that works These observations reflect my personal experience rather than a guarantee of how the product will affect someone else.

💰 Value & Practicality

At the listed price of ¥7,000 for 1 mL, this isn't an insignificant purchase.

For me, the appeal is the functional nature of the experience rather than an exceptional flavor profile or particularly powerful effects.

The flavor is understated, and HHBD isn't my favorite molecule when it comes to personal effect intensity.

That said, the formulation still delivers an experience I can appreciate.

Whether it's worth the price will depend on what you're looking for. If you prioritize a functional experience over an intense flavor or particularly heavy effects, you may evaluate it differently than someone searching for maximum intensity.

I wouldn't call it a standout in every category, but it has its place.

🏁 Final Verdict

ENHANCE YOUR LIFE's Juicy Fruit CRDB × HHBD liquid is a functional, relatively light-feeling option that fits nicely into an afternoon session for me.

The earthy cannabis flavor comes through first, while the Juicy Fruit terpenes remain subtle. The effects take around 10–15 minutes to arrive and last approximately 2–3 hours in my experience.

My biggest reservation is HHBD itself. I personally find it less impactful than some of the other cannabinoids I've tried.

But there's a difference between a product not being my personal favorite and a product not working.

This one works.

It's not a flavor powerhouse, and it doesn't deliver the kind of effects that make me want to shout from the rooftops. Nevertheless, it provides a functional experience that I can appreciate.

**Final Score: 90/100 — A (Excellent)**

**The good:**
- Functional, relatively light-feeling experience.
- Suitable for an afternoon session in my experience.
- Subtle, earthy flavor that isn't unpleasant.
- Approximately 2–3 hours of effects for me.

**The not-so-good:**
- Juicy Fruit flavor is barely noticeable.
- HHBD isn't as impactful for me as some other cannabinoids.
- The overall experience isn't particularly groundbreaking.
- At ¥7,000 per 1 mL, personal preferences will play a big role in whether it's worth the price.

**Bottom line:** A straightforward product that does what it's supposed to do. It won't blow you away with flavor or necessarily deliver the intensity you're looking for, but it's a functional option that earns a respectable score from me.

As always, individual experiences vary. Start cautiously, allow time to assess the effects before taking more, and don't drive while impaired.

Discussion Humbly requesting beginner recommendations 😅

4 Upvotes

I’m visiting from abroad and I’ve gone as far as to creating an Amazon JP account, finding a Lawsons near my Airbnb… now I’m looking at these options and honestly, it’s a lot to read ☠️

I’m someone with zero, almost negative tolerance, meaning I could get knocked out from hemp leaves rn. Never tried alts before either.

That being said, could I please get some beginner recommendations? It’d be nice if I can have something uplifting for my day activities (hiking, etc) and a downer for when the night. And yes I’m definitely a music lover.

Thanks in advance!🙏🙏

Gifted Review ⧉ Knockout Tesseract Flow ⧉

Knockouts Tesseract Flow

¥15,000

Purchase here -

https://ko-online.co.jp/products/tesseract-flow

Ingredients:

●HHBD

●CBX

●H4CBH

●CRDB

●CRD + H4CBD

Terpenes: Strawberry x Rasberry

So I got sent a sample of the new Tesseract Flow from Knockout, these are all my honest first impressions and thoughts ✌️

Reading the label it has literally almost all active psychoactive noids currently available mixed in there so I thought this would be a bomb of a cart! Like one puff would send me to the stratosphere but it was actually really tame and enjoyable and id definately purchase this to try again!

First time I tried this was at 23:00, finished my work shift got home and had a couple pulls

The flavour reminded me of the old KO CANDY 🍬 cart Knockout used to make awhile back, really nostalgic and probably my favourite flavour cart I've had till now! This is basically the exact same flavour but slightly less sweet and more hempy

It has a strawberry note with a mix of raspberry and blueberry too, with hempy grassy notes underneath, I love this stuff just for the flavour alone 💚

Now the effects,

I started feeling it 5 minutes after my 3 big drags, nothing crazy strong but a nice building pressure behind the eyes, release of tension in my back, I decided to hit the shower and prepare to chill for the evening

10 minutes later I step out the shower and im pretty blasted, my eyes all red and even though I just ate dinner all I can think about is more food.

Around 1 hour in, chilling watching a movie, im about a 8/10 high, eyes almost closed, munchies at an all time high and feeling very euphoric and happy. This cart has a really good balance of couch lock and still being awake and functioning, however I really couldn't imagine the thought of interacting with the outside world right now and having a coherent conversation so I think this cart is pretty strong!

Lasted a good couple hours.

Ended off the night just having a good peaceful sleep, the hangover the next morning was abit rough but I did wake up super late and nothing a quick coffee cant fix! The usual HHBD and H4CBH bit of grogginess in the morning!

This is a perfect hybrid cart

This cart seriously impressed me, if your looking for a really good hybrid this is a top contender, the flavour is one of my all time favourites and the effects are strong but dont couch lock you enough to be able to get up and do things 👌

Id buy this cart just for the flavour alone and also for something to smoke at the end of my day and not become a couch potato

Id recommend this cart if your looking for something middle to high ground! A really good option for a hybrid but dont start off with 3 giant puffs or it might send you into oblivion 😶‍🌫️💚

Has anyone else tried any of the other TESSERACTS from knockout? I'd love to hear how they compare to this one 👽💫

Gifted Review 🧙‍♂️ The Wizard’s Head-to-Head: Stankonya 🦨 vs. Gorilla Glue 🦍

Post image
1 Upvotes

Two blends from take CBD lab. Two completely different flavor profiles. One takes the crown!

📦 Disclosure: Both products were gifted to me by @ takeshit710 on x for review. All opinions, experiences, and scores are my own and reflect my honest impressions. No rating or outcome was guaranteed.

What's up, everyone? The Wizard has a different kind of review today!

I received two blends from the same vendor and was asked to compare them, so instead of reviewing them separately, I decided to put them head-to-head.

I tried each one individually and also tested them together. The combination needs more research, but I've already picked my individual winner!

Let's get into it. 🧙‍♂️💨

🦨 Contender #1: Stankonya

Blend: CBX 50% / H4CBD 42% / Terpenes 8%

Final Score: 94/100 — A (Excellent) 🏆

THIS CBX STOLE THE SHOW!

Let's talk flavor. Fruity, earthy, funky, and musky.

And that skunky character? Absolutely delicious!

This blend stood out because of how distinctive its flavor profile was. I genuinely enjoyed both products, but Stankonya was the one that won me over when considering the overall flavor and effects.

Sometimes a flavor is difficult to describe. Other times, you get a combination of notes that just clicks. Stankonya was the latter for me.

The flavor alone made a serious impression, and the overall experience pushed it ahead of the competition.

The Wizard's verdict: A seriously impressive flavor profile with a funky, fruity, earthy, musky character. This one takes the crown!

🦍 Contender #2: Gorilla Glue

Blend: CBX 42% / H4CBD 42% / CRDB 8% / Terpenes 8%

Final Score: 92/100 — A (Excellent)

Don't sleep on this one just because it came second!

Gorilla Glue delivered some of the best Gorilla Glue terpene flavor I've experienced. The only problem? I'm still struggling to explain exactly what makes it taste so good.

You know when something tastes incredible, but finding the right words to describe it is another challenge entirely? That's where I'm at with this one.

A 92/100 is still an excellent result. I liked this blend a lot, and it put up a serious fight against Stankonya.

This wasn't a case of one product being good and the other being bad. Both impressed me; one simply fit my personal preferences a little better.

The Wizard's verdict: An outstanding Gorilla Glue-inspired flavor profile that deserves recognition in its own right. Stankonya just edged it out!

⚔️ The Head-to-Head Scorecard

Category |🦨 Stankonya |🦍 Gorilla Glue
CBX content |50% |42%
H4CBD content |42% |42%
CRDB content |Not listed |8%
Terpenes |8% |8%
Flavor profile |Fruity, earthy, funky, musky |Gorilla Glue-inspired
Flavor impression |Distinctive and delicious |Incredible, hard to describe
Overall preference |Winner 🥇 |Runner-up 🥈
Final score |94/100 — A |92/100 — A The two-point difference reflects my personal preference, not a massive difference in quality. Both blends impressed me, but Stankonya delivered the combination of flavor and effects I preferred overall.

🧪 Bonus Round: The Combo Test

Naturally, I had to try them together!

But I'm not ready to give that combination a verdict just yet. I need more testing before I can fairly describe the combined flavor or overall experience.

I'm not going to invent a conclusion just to finish the review. The Wizard needs more research! 😂🔬

Combo verdict: Inconclusive. Further testing required.

🏆 Final Verdict

🥇 Stankonya — 94/100 (A, Excellent)

🥈 Gorilla Glue — 92/100 (A, Excellent)

Two blends, two very different flavor experiences, and two products I genuinely enjoyed.

Stankonya takes the crown for me, thanks to that fruity, earthy, funky, musky profile and my overall experience with it.

Gorilla Glue remains a strong runner-up, with a terpene profile that's difficult to put into words but incredibly enjoyable.

Huge thanks to [u/takeshit710](u/takeshit710) for gifting me both products and giving me the opportunity to compare them!

As always, receiving a product as a gift doesn't buy a positive review. These scores reflect my own experience and preferences.

Now I want to hear from you!

Which flavor profile would YOU choose?

🦨 Stankonya: Fruity, earthy, funky, and musky.

🦍 Gorilla Glue: That unmistakable Gorilla Glue-inspired flavor.

If you've tried either blend, what did you think? I'm especially interested in whether your flavor impressions match mine!

Until next time, stay curious and keep exploring those terps.

Can people around you smell weed when you hit a cart?

5 Upvotes

I’m wondering if people around you can smell weed when you’re vaping a cart, especially ones with a more authentic weed flavor and smell, like KushJP carts.

Does the vapor actually smell like weed to other people?

How to avoid sleepy effect from the alts?

5 Upvotes

Hello!

I know this is a weird question because most of the people are looking for relaxation and better sleep quality from alts but I still want to see if anyone could have some cool tips to help me out lol

I was puffing Bolt from Kush JP everyday when I was traveling in Japan and the effect was very good but in the end of each session(usually after 3 to 4 hours), I felt super sleepy.
Not like exhausted or no energy but really sleepy when I sit down.

I know this is just the burning out effect like the real stuff and it is very normal, but want to see if there is any ways to decrease the sleepy feeling.

Do you think it is because the H4CBD in the ingredients? Or, maybe I should have chose other product such as CBX80% pen.

Please let me know if you have any tips to avoid the sleepy feeling.

I have tried walking or have some coffee but these usually don't work well.

Thank you!

Please recommend a Gohoya cartridge

Are there any Gohoya cartridges you would recommend?

Among COTTON CANDY and OG KUSH

I want to know what is good in terms of enjoyment and value for money

I was satisfied with the Pink Runtz cartridge among kush JP products. Is there a Gohoya product you would recommend if I want a stronger high?

Legal/Law related Cannabis smoker flying to Japan

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm sorry if this is the wrong community.

I'm someone from the Netherlands who smokes THC daily in my home country, which means THC stays detectable around 30 days in my pee. How often do tests happen in Japan? Did anybody every hear about someone getting tested, if yes where was this? Do you think tourist would get the same treatment or not?

I'm really worried, since technically smoking in my home country can land me in jail. Ill be going too Tokyo Kyoto Osaka.

Curious about experience with CBX from people

10 Upvotes

Hello,

Just a random thread I was thinking, a lot of people are worried (and pretty justified, alts are research chemicals) about the differents alts and the speed on how many appears.

And especially since recently we have a very good noid in my opinion which is CBX, on my personal experience, 0 diziness, a super clear head high, only need like 2 or 3 puffs and I feel perfect, I don't feel the need to retop during the day except maybe 1 puff.

As a sativa lover it's almost "too perfect", like really lol, also the tolerance seems to not build like crazy (at least less than H4CBH for me), the body high is not heavy but you can melt in your couch if you're in the mood.

So I tried to have also some breaks to see if the withdrawal would be horrible, and to be fair, except the classic small irritability and the fact that you miss being "high", nothing really, no nausea or appetite loss. I take around 3/4 puffs per day everyday in evening.

Which is a surprise to me because it seems a lot of people have very bad withdrawal symptoms with it, analog to THCP, which is no joke.

So I created this thread to see the experience of everyone, and see how we can share so it will help people be reassured but also to know more, it's always interesting to share our experiences.

What are your experience with CBX, both when you take it but also when you take a break from it ? (if you did)
