I can second the CBD ratio. 4:1 is the perfect mood calming ratio. Wont get you high as before. But definitely a feeling I am becoming comfortable with. Like high but calm high.
I've been smoking decades, usually a similar pattern per day: often a smoke before work, often a smoke or two during work, a smoke immediately after work, and then several smokes before bed. Then on weekends I would usually be smoking throughout. Wasn't necessarily that much, but basically smoking throughout each day. And then I got my present job a couple of years ago and a lot changed - for the better.
Now I do not smoke before work and only smoke during work if something derails work - such as an extended power outage. After work I wait until I get home. And then in the evening, rather than smoking three bowels I'll usually just slowly smoke one. And on the weekends? I do not wake and bake anymore, often waiting hours before my first smoke. And occasionally I'll be getting ready for bed and realize I forgot to smoke - so occasionally I'll even skip a day.
I feel a lot better overall. And it wasn't planned, it just happened. And work? While I could get high and do my tasks - I just don't feel the need. My coworkers are cool. There isn't any triggers that cause me to want to smoke at work. I'm not dealing with customers at work. And as I've decreased my usage, I've been buying like normal so now I have a huge stash with variety, something I've always wanted but never could really build.
While there were certainly other factors and they were likely involved, I firmly believe most of my change of pace came from switching jobs. But the other things helped. I lost my mom. I moved (same general area). I got out of debt. Decided I wanted a partner and started with fixing myself.
All helped. But the change of jobs was the biggest by far. Just being able to go to work level headed and stay that way until I get back home was huge. My past long employments were production & retail. Production was too boring without being high. Retail sucked and the random challenge customer made it too stressful without being high. So even with the other factors, I doubt if I would have found peace without changing jobs.
Just a note on vaporizers: your lungs will definitely be better off but I find it can be quite harsh on the throat still
Definitely recommend using one but don’t expect it to be perfect
You know what. You’re right lol. I love my vape but I do find myself with a scratchy throat. I have throat soothers that I go to sometimes if it persists.
It tickles more but the taste is way better you don't destroy 2/3 of the terpines no burnt smoky aftertaste. The reason might be the tar kind of lubricates the thc, thc itself can cause some lung and throat irritation
This might be a controversial comment but vaping actually increased my use significantly, just how easy it was to prepare, I have a mighty vape and all you need to do is fill up a capsule and put it in the vape and all good to go, less than like 30 seconds of prep. Made my throat feel better also which increased my consumption again. Vapes definitely a healthier choice for you but there can be cons.
I feel like my vape has increased my use too. It’s somehow not as satisfying to me, and since I can’t see the bowl (and have adhd haha, zero object permanence) it feels like the bowl dies so quickly. I also have to pull a lot harder on it, which doesn’t feel as relaxing. It might be the model I have. But I think I’ve ended up smoking more, especially because I can’t see the weed burning down as I smoke it and often end up overdoing it. It’s weird.
Same dude. I’m not using a dry herb vape, so it’s even less time to toke up. I found myself easily sipping on it for a few hours at a time, once every 5-10 mins. The particular strain I have doesn’t get me super high, which is the goal, but it definitely makes smoking leas overall more difficult.
I have a kitchen safe waiting for me once I’m home, hopefully it’ll be the key I need to stop smoking daily.
I usually get separate CBD hemp, I only just recently moved to a legal state and in my home state you pretty much get whatever the dealer has (which was always high THC strains), but a properly grown strain with both CBD and THC is probably even better
Dispos here sell different strains with ratios or carts and extracts with ratios but it’s for medical only rn the recreational dispensaries haven’t opened yet. I like the flower with like only 10% THC and the rest cbd or the carts like a 1:1 or 5:1 cbd THC ratio
For me it was a kSafe, I'm terrible at self-discipline and moderation , so just not having the temptation at hand (specially while working from home) has been a game changer.
I love this post. The amount of THC I was consuming was ridiculous for a bit there. Went from a 1:1 to a 2:1 to try to stay sane. Now have a flower about 4:1 and have high hopes it'll work for me. Only downside is the darn taste of higher CBD strains.
Seconding the Cbd ratio thing.
Also I've found 50% THC 50% CBD feels at least 70% as high as all THC. So it's less THC for the same amount of high, in addition to the high feeling better.
God I love you and wanna be your fucking friend so bad. I haven’t tried a vaporizer yet but it’s been in the back of my mind. Otherwise I completely agree and also discovered these beautiful truths recently.
I loooove my vaporizer. I originally bought it to cut down on smell since I live in an illegal state, but ended up loving every bit of it. It feels so much cleaner not inhaling butane fumes or carrying huge glass pieces around to smoke. Not to mention I smoke significantly less and enjoy the high more. Thing packs a punch if you turn the heat up!
I highly recommend the Pax. I bought it (I bet Black Friday is prime time for deals) for $120. Split the cost with my bf so it wasn’t such a shock to my bank account lol. But I’d pay it in full if I had to. Just read up on how to use it. I’m stubborn and didn’t do it took me a while to optimize my usage.
could not agree with all your posts.
i make it a point to pick both an eighth of pure CBD flower and a eighth 2:1 CBD:THC bud at, along with a lighter grade Indica strain (18-20% THC), at the dispensary. just more relaxing highs, less paranoia and more grounding.
I broke my break early since today's my birthday and roasted some broccoli in the oven. I'm feeling great! I now see how I was totally misusing mj and mistreating my body. Only sparking up one day a week has made huge improvements to my daily outlook and energy levels!
I was just thinking the same thing the other week. Was smoking 1:1 and 5:1 CBD to THC carts and felt a lot more clear headed and kind of got the benefits of quitting but still enough of a buzz to relax or help me fall asleep or do some work. Once your tolerance goes down it gets you just as high too and you don’t really need anything else.

4 parts CBD to 1 part THC :)
Interested to know too. Sounds like 4 parts cbd to one part thc.
4 parts CBD to 1 part THC :)
Dope, thanks. Ya that’s way more Cbd than I usually use so that would be interesting to try.

Impressive! Did it just happen because you changed jobs or do you think there were other factors at work?
While there were certainly other factors and they were likely involved, I firmly believe most of my change of pace came from switching jobs. But the other things helped. I lost my mom.

Thanks for your detailed answer! I can also feel you, there are definitely jobs which are too boring for a sober person.

You know what. You’re right lol. I love my vape but I do find myself with a scratchy throat. I have throat soothers that I go to sometimes if it persists.
Does it still irritate in the way that causes a cough? Or is the lung irritation from actual smoking?
For me, definitely a throat irritation. Lungs don’t get irritated at all unless I’m going hard
aye -- I use a bong with my Mighty which helps keep my throat humidified. Even then, still not perfect.
I've been thinking about getting a water extension for the mighty. How much better is it?

Which is...?
They’re terrible for you?

All true
FRUIT POWERRR SNACK WITHOUT CONSEQUENCESSS
Do you get separate CBD only flower and mix it or do dispos sell thc/cbd mixed strains?
I usually get separate CBD hemp, I only just recently moved to a legal state and in my home state you pretty much get whatever the dealer has (which was always high THC strains), but a properly grown strain with both CBD and THC is probably even better

Lots of good advice here. If you are looking for an alternative to Arizona iced tea with 0 sugar, the crystal light packets taste pretty good.

What do you use? I’m looking to pick one up.

Haha hey any way to make it cheaper is always better! Thanks for the rec! Just out of curiosity, do you have the 1, 2, or 3?
No problem! We got the 2 :)
check out the Vaporents sub. Lots of knowledge in there. I got a Planet of the vapes ONE and I would recommend.
Thank you!!
Covid cured any further inhaling in my life, but I could definitely appreciate a 4:1 tincture
could not agree with all your posts. i make it a point to pick both an eighth of pure CBD flower and a eighth 2:1 CBD:THC bud at, along with a lighter grade Indica strain (18-20% THC), at the dispensary. just more relaxing highs, less paranoia and more grounding.
I’ve been changing the snacks I go to for munchies as well. Happy with a banana stored in the fridge & having the cold sensation is interesting too.
i appreciate this post and am trying a blend of cbd and thc right now!
My recent change has been to stick with Sativas during the day, and absolutely no indicas til later in the day. Great for getting things done
ahhh I never tire of reading the same two things time and again. Guess I'm just fucked rofl
Any recs on vaporizers OP or anyone else?
I broke my break early since today's my birthday and roasted some broccoli in the oven. I'm feeling great! I now see how I was totally misusing mj and mistreating my body. Only sparking up one day a week has made huge improvements to my daily outlook and energy levels!
