/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Thats why i hate going to dispensaries. I have never noticed any difference between indica or sativa, and i hate asking for an ounce of Rainbow Unicorn Spoof and half of Banana Creampie. I'm a grown man and i just want some weed to smoke and make edibles with. Normally i get around this by just buying shake, but they didn't even have any at the place i went to a few months ago.

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 8 months ago

You can do what I did most recently.

I said “you have a special going on, so I want flower up to the limit for the special, good fun stuff, nice variety, preferably heavy on couch-lock weed. You can mix and match and I’ll just pay for it.”

Works out really well. I didn’t have to pretend to give a shit about their claims of how it tasted or what it would do (“smoke” and “high” respectively, per usual), didn’t have to pretend I cared what the names or blends were, like just give me weed please and thanks. Like my dealer never gave me options?? Just give weed, here’s money. I don’t want to talk to you about the weed just sell it to me before this is uncomfortable.

Recently asked the guy behind the counter for something more chill and relaxing, as my random purchases ended up giving me anxiety. Worked really well, good recommendations.

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I specify a brand / sativa vs indica and just let them pick one out for me. Haven't found one I had to have yet

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (4 children)

one thing you should care about is THC %, there's a big difference between say 5% and 20%

5% THC weed will give you a nice relaxing high, the same amount of 20% THC weed will send you so far into space you can basically call it a psychodelic experience

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You just don't need to use as much with the higher % kinds. If the price is the same, it's a better value because it can last longer.

FYI smoking is wasteful. Blunts are the most wasteful way to waste your money on that. Vaping with convection and/or conduction heat source is the absolute best way to use those flowers.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world -3 points 8 months ago (3 children)

seeing as weed is still illegal where i currently live i'd rather trust an unaltered flower than a murky liquid of vague origin

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I didn't mention any liquids, I said flower.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Herbal vapes have existed for long before e-liquids became a thing.

As a bonus you end up with AVB (already vaped bud) which is great for edibles as you can skip the decarb process.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Heh, when you mentioned AVB I fully expected you to finish with "which is great for selling to suckers," so I found the actual ending to be a wholesome surprise!

[–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

There’s just medical where I live, and every single product has the lab results of what’s in the batch printed right on the box.

The advantages of legalization and regulation.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

dude tell that to my country's goverment. So far all anxiety meds i've tried made me feel worse, and i've just been smoking sometimes when it gets too bad. Weed is the only things that's worked for me so far. Obviously i haven't tried all the anxiety meds out there but fucking hell, the last ones i have a shot made me feel like i was mid-panic attack the entire day, i'd rather not have to potentially experience that again

[–] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago

Ahh, I’m sorry you have to deal with that!

It took me years to find a combination of medications that seemed to help. It’s nice being able to feel kind of normal sometimes.

But the cannabis is like liquid calm and happiness waiting in a glass case for emergencies (or live resin waiting in a vape cart). It has worked on some seriously bad days. But its also nice to use in small amounts just about every day.

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Seriously have my doubts about the accuracy of said percentage. I've had 10-15% knock me on my ass compared to 20-23%

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

i have my 24-25% from a good source and the blunts i make look pathetic, but then knock me off my feet in minutes

[–] jtk@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Does smoking more of the 5% stuff get you to the same place as the 20%?

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

probably would, i'm not sure i don't really smoke that much

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

5% turns everybody into the Hat Man for me.

Being on the continuum sucks.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Same. I just get whatever is cheapest. Never had an issue.
