After being an (almost) every day smoker for almost 10 years, I took a dab in my apartment that seemed incredibly average which led to me coughing real hard and a pain in my lungs. After it didn’t go away for 11 days with other concerning symptoms arriving after a bit like heart palpitations, I went to my local urgent care who immediately recommended me to a hospital. There, I was given an emergency chest tube procedure due to a collapsed lung, and was told that my days of smoking were pretty much over. Even if I were not to smoke, the chance of my lung collapsing sometime in the next few years is 20-30%. Smoking will raise that to 60-80%.

The easy answer of course is to just take edibles, the problem with that is that about 90% of them have had zero effect on me. I once had chocolates that worked, and Delta-8 (not proud of it) gummies I got from my old job at a smoke shop that worked as well. Other than those two, I’ve eaten over 50 edibles in my life and cannot remember a single other one working. I’ve eaten entire bags of 200mg and brownies totaling 1000mg. I don’t know if it’s my enzymes, I’m an extremely skinny guy and I’ve heard that can have some effect. Regardless, I trued another 60mg today and felt absolutely nothing.

If I have to accept this as my new normal, I can come to terms with it. It does objectively suck and I really wouldn’t like to lose this part of my life. Anyone that has had experience with any other alternate forms of THC, I’d love to hear about it. Especially if edibles aren’t very effective to you.

TL;DR- Does anyone have any experience with edibles not working but found an alternative such as lozenges or tinctures, and is it worth giving them a try under my circumstances?

image 2: air haids extremes bites. these are nice and polite. you can eat one color at a time if you want, but you have to be careful with it.

image 3: sour-fuls. accidentally tore the bag, sad. these are more sour which i like. very sharp and vibrant. hard to eat one color at a time.

image 4: haribo gold bears. i got an orange one which was good but not my favorite. it has the best texture out of all 3. very easy to eat one color at a time, as they come pre-separated. i'm going to try a new flavor because orange is not my favorite. i got green which i prefer! wonderful flavor of it. not air heads but it's okay.

Rolled my first ever backwood today and it also happens to be my first blunt too. Ended up a little skinnier than I thought but smoked decent enough. Also became a little loose toward the end and difficult to get a good pull. Anybody have any pointers?

recently due to me getting diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder my doctor is having me take baby aspirin. I am wondering if anyone knows if I would be okay taking baby aspirin while still partaking😌

Hiking in Colorado you see many groves in reach and out of reach of the human hand. Many of these trees I see initials, but I've been paying attention to years. I've seen 1977, 1996, 2004, 2014, 2020 and so on. They are there as long as the trees live. It is sad and I wish people just appreciated them instead of hurting the tree.

I’ve never been a big smoker, so when I decided to ditch Rx sleeping meds, I tried gummies.
For the last four years, it’s been the only thing that helps/allows me to sleep at night.
I started off super light. Maybe 2.5mg/night.
Now I take 5mg when I’m getting ready for bed, then 10mg right before sleep. (For clarity- these are legit dispo indica gummies.)

I’m curious if gummies (or, at what mg) make anybody else cough, maybe half an hour after taking them.
It’s just a quick, dry cough two or three times before I finally conk out… but it’s every night and it’s annoying.

The Tuddy puddy ! 😺🤜

Professional roller out of Los Angeles. This is an order I am doing for a fellow brand, they wanted some FAT HOLES. This is 2 grams flower with 1 gram of rosin. Flower is Pineapple Zikigai and the rosin is Honey Banana. How many of these are yall smoking in a day? 🤔

Hello PA MMJ Patient. I have a jar full of AVB that I use for edibles, but I know theres definitely small amounts of tobacco in it because I'm lazy and use the same tray sometimes. There's definitely not a lot of tobacco in the jar but probably enough to make my food taste weird. Just wondering what a good method of getting most of the tobacco out would be cuz I'm not gonna throw away the batch ima just deal with it and be more careful about it from now on.

Thanks all.

A commentator recommended I try this here

Roughly 14mg but I have a really low THC tolerance so that's a lot for me

Update it hits so fuckingd fast

Tropical Burst from Seed Junky, feeling fantastic. Little fruity, a little earthy, little hint of diesel, lotta hint of fun. Cheers Friends 🤙🌿

idek if i fw these fr but they ight

i frequently have trouble expressing my thoughts in an effective manner when i’m speaking, and i feel like it’s only gotten worse in the past few years. for context, i’m 24 and i smoke every day (mainly at night) and im just curious if this is possibly related to smoking or not.

edit: i guess i should be more specific; the issues im referring to are stuttering, stumbling on your words, having ideas that are cohesive in your brain, but you have a hard time expressing, having incorrect syntax, things like that. in addition, i mean generally, not just while you’re high

Wine is a red wine from Texas. Specifically a Tempranillo, cigar is an old vanilla. And the strain is Washington apple. From Washington.

And the vape is the Pax 3 with POTV glass adapter and the stem is from a vaphit qoq.

background: im still a newbie smoker and i live in an illegal state

i got referred to this dealer claiming he has the "green stuff" (seems most are shitty and brown) and it wasnt a bad price so i bought an oz
it looks likes its been broken off a brick it smells horrid too and not at all what i was expecting... i guess its kind of green???? if you look at it sideways and squint

Outdoor, 50 gal container grown, GreenPlanet nute system, Gastro Pop. The trichomes were mostly all cloudy with minimal amber, and hardly any clear, 2 weeks into the cure and just tasted it. Crazy strong. Sorry for the crap photos.

Have been smoking weed casually (once a week/every 2 weeks) for around a year now, and i'm finally getting to try edibles tomorrow.

I bought two gummies that have 10 mg of thc each in a 1:1 thc:cbd ratio

Have you guys got any advice? Should i eat just one or eat both?
