I’m really glad to be back on it again these last few days after arriving back in-country. My mood’s been better, I’m sleeping well again, and I’m back to using about half a gram a day, only dry herb vaping, never smoking. I also take about 0.25 milliliters of edible oil at night on most days. No downsides. Just bliss.

 

This is going off topic now, but for the past few months I’ve been only buying weed from some of those online sellers that offer eVap and other forms of low-cost grown stuff for under ฿20 per gram. But I just finally decided to make the effort to go back to a shop I used to buy from, which is a bit of a drive outside the city center. This guy only sells indoor grown weed, he knows his growers and suppliers well and it's all stuff that's cultivated properly with lighting and air conditioning. Basically, all of it is stuff that is high quality and higher cost to produce. Surprisingly, his prices have come down a lot too if I buy 100 grams. Now he’s selling the high-quality stuff, which has much higher THC levels than the low-cost online stuff, but for about that same price per gram. Though, that’s not even the main point.

 

I had a good chat with him about the cheaper outdoor and semi-outdoor grown weed sold in Thailand. He pointed out two big problems with that kind of product and why he doesn't deal in it. First, the farmers growing outdoor weed can’t really do it without pesticides. There’s no way to get the yields from the plants that they need to make it work financially without using harmful chemicals. Second, he explained that outdoor weed grown in Thailand will never hit THC levels above 20 percent. The climate’s just too hot. Weed grown in that kind of heat can’t develop the higher THC levels you see from weed grown in cooler environments. Whether it’s eVap or some other semi-indoor or greenhouse setup, the heat always holds the THC back from reaching those upper 20 percent levels.

 

I picked up a bunch of strains from him, and a lot of it has that purple fuzz mixed with green flower coloration. He said that’s something you rarely see with the cheaper outdoor stuff too. He explained that you could grow two plants from the same seeds, one indoors and one outdoors, and they’d likely end up looking completely different. The indoor plant in a cool, controlled environment will often have more purple coloration, especially on the upper buds that get more cool air and better light. Outdoor plants or those grown without air conditioning usually stay more green and orange. Looks aside, the difference is that the more purple, indoor grown stuff tends to have much higher THC, sometimes up to 50% more THC than the semi-outdoor grown stuff.

 

One thing I’d also forgotten was what good terpenes can actually smell like. The cheaper weed I was buying online barely had a scent unless you got right up close to it. But I just picked up five strains of stuff from him, and when I got home I transferred each strain from the ziplock bag it was in and each into separate airtight mason jars with 2 of those Boost gel packs inside each one to regulate humidity. The terpenes are so strong that my whole place smells like a weed farm now. All I did was transfer the buds from the bags into jars and close them, but the smell is still lingering in the air days later. I’m not complaining, I love it, but I’m honestly amazed at how strong terpenes can be when you’ve got proper quality. Just opening one of these jars releases this incredible, rich aroma. It’s fantastic.

 

The reason I’d been buying from those online sellers wasn’t because I liked their quality, it was just the path of least resistance. Send a text, and it shows up the next day in the post. It was too easy. But I’m done with that now. I’ll make the effort to go see my regular supplier in person whenever I need to stock up.

 

There’s also something about the high with this better quality weed that feels completely different and much more relaxing. I also don’t get that dull headache I sometimes used to feel from the lower quality online stuff. Maybe that was a pesticide effect, who knows.

I would debate this. Most outdoor grows won't use adequate nutes vs indoor.

I don’t think any of that low priced online stuff they are selling is total outdoor grow. It’s done semi half-indoors in tents with eVap. They are investing a bit so they probably have money for pesticides and fertilizer. They are already saving a huge amount of money on cost of electricity and cost for Aircon and lighting versus an indoor setup.

Low or bad terps gives you headache?
 

The stuff I got now smells heavenly though.

Id bet the nute quality is far different. Many would use slow release pellet form for outdoor and evap vs most using strictly controlled drip systems indoor with high quality nutes and highly controlled pH ec and c02 levels indoor. You'd be shocked at what the girls can suck up wifh higher and controlled c02 levels.

I think you're probably right about the pesticides giving you the headache. Wouldn't be the terps. 

 

Higher terpene levels increase the flowers potency bigly. This is very often overlooked by many in the industry. Yes they know about terps but I dont think they understand the relationship it means with the overall quality of the flower. You should smell the terps that come from a fresh slab of shatter made from high quality flower. Dab that in a puffco and it's a whole new experience of high. Even I struggled at times.

 

Think when you eat a super yummy strawberry vs a meh one. Terps. Thay erosion of flavor you experience.

 

Also. Head is starting to clear up with each passing day. I bought a test kit to start tracking it all. Will do my first one in about a week or so. 

 

Ill post results when I start testing. 

That explosion of flavor not erosion 

You know when it's good when it's sticky and oily 🙂

 you squeeze and it kind of molds into a fatty ball. 

 

You're aright about the Outdoors ones being terrible, even greenhouse ones are not the same as indoor.

Anyone growing here: you should try arbuscular mycorrhiza for the roots. This biological agent does miracles to the tree.

Most of the outcome in the final product comes down to genetics and grower talent.

Craving is a cornerstone in cigarette and alcohol addiction. Along with many other things. 

 

Does someone who works out every day have wud. 

 

What about guys in Pattaya do they have pud. Pussy use disorder. 

 

 

It took a long time for me to lose withdrawal symptoms following Lorazepam use, about 6 months. Up to now, 83 years old, I have never suffered from CUD (if it really exists) nor, so far, PUD.

Up until a few months ago in was smoking 2 grams of shatter daily along with many grams of flower.

 

Quite a big difference. Not dismissing your remark in any way though.

Usage like that is not healthy. 

@blaze master i'm just curious what your plans are. I remember you mentioned you had a small retail shop on one of the islands. Are you going to continue with operations?

I sold out a few months ago. Business  and personal reasons.

Great news on both. I think you are past the critical point now. Soon you can stop counting days and start counting months, then years, if that's what you want of course.

 

Were you growing some as well? And are you still involved with that?

I was.but market went to shhhh. Market prices made it stupid to continue growing. Wholesale dropped to average 12k to 15k per kilo. 

 

Mix in withh my personal reasons. I had enough. It was fun while it lasted..

 

When real extracts become a thing ill jump on that. Im quite the artist. 😁

Well, it's probably better for your head right now that you're away from every aspect of it completely. If you we're still in the business in some way, it could make it more difficult to quit.

Test 1. By the looks of it i failed. 

 

I have not smoked or been exposed to cannabis in 40 days.

 

It does look like im under 100 alreasy though 😆

Why did you stop so suddenly? With all drugs is best to give up gradually; in stages. I'm speaking from personal experience. You should also get some positive benefits from giving up dope such as increased energy & less lethargy etcetera.

Gave up for a number of reasons. A big part is that I juat wasnt feeling it anymore. Wasn't doing anything for me. 

 

I do feel more energy. Dreaming is very fun now. I enjoy the intensity.

72 years old and you're watching porn all the time ? I am going to start doing opiates when im that age because they nuke your sex drive

Weed takes forever to get out of your system. Especially after using it daily for 30 years

I said I read about the dopamine blow up on Reddit. I never said I watch porn all the time. I just about never watch porn.
 

My sex drive is fine. Your odd concern about it is unintentionally hilarious. I fully support your late age opiate usage.

 

More, please more of your incomprehensible ruminations

As a medical thing. Yes. Do people.shake their leg. Yes. 

 

Is it a syndrome. No.
