Oooh good to know! Yep that's the one. I just don't really use flower anymore and stick to carts. Looked like they only had like 3 or 4 to choose from based on their website

 

Last night coworker jokingly bet me $15 that I couldn't finish a full gram of hash in one night.

Well today I'm going to be getting an extra $15 in my tip jar

 

Damn, how many hours is "one night"?

 

I got off at 8:30 and finished by 11:30 lol

 

also some pretty funny industry drama has been brewing. Some corporate cannabis convention has been advertising their 2021 event with a background of the OKC skyline.

Only problem is the pic is pre-OKC Bombing and has the fucking Murrah Building in it.

 

Ohhhh yeah, nvm i couldn't do that I was thinkin' like 5:00pm-12:00am

 

So against this threads better advice I tried a brownie last night. Not a great idea, I just had a big ol' panic attack lol. I dont think I even had a lot, I just tried half of what my brother recommended. Full on claustrophobia, hyperventilating, all my muscles tensed up, shaking, was convinced I was gonna throw up, though I didn't.

I'm not completely put off! Just gonna try smoking a few more times before I attempt another edible.

 

lol wtf man

If you have access, edibles from dispensaries are much more predictable. But yeah, smoke/vape for a while until you have a better handle on your tolerance level. Glad you are okay now!

 

truly like start with a nibble if you’re inexperienced

 

Had an interesting conversation with a patient today that has me a bit concerned about D8 products now.

He gave me a couple articles including this

"Using chromatographic methods with ultraviolet or mass spectrometry detection, scientists at ProVerde have tested thousands of products labeled delta-8-THC. “So far, I have not seen one that I would consider a legitimate delta-8-THC product,” Hudalla says. “There’s some delta-8 in there, but there’s very frequently up to 30 [chromatographic] peaks that I can’t identify.” There are often also peaks that correlate with delta-9-THC as well as another isomer, delta-10-THC, he notes. Little is known about the effects of delta-10-THC, but users have anecdotally reported feeling euphoric and more focused after consuming it.

“I’m less concerned with traditional THC isomers than I am of the ubiquitous unknowns,” says Michael Coffin, chief scientist at Elevation Distro, a California-based cannabis manufacturing and distribution firm. “Delta-8, delta-9, and even delta-10 don’t seem to have any ill effects on people that we know of at this point,” he says. But a lot of people are doing a poor job of cleaning up their reaction products, he adds, which results in “quite a soup” of by-products and other unwanted compounds.

The conversion of CBD to delta-8-THC involves refluxing CBD in an organic solvent, such as toluene or heptane, with p-toluenesulfonic acid or another acid that serves as a catalyst. The reaction is typically run for 60–90 min. “You basically close the ring on the CBD molecule,” Coffin says.

“These are pretty aggressive synthetic conditions that use strong acids,” Hudalla says. “They might be using strong bases to neutralize. They can use metal catalysts. I hear different people doing it different ways.” In a pharmaceutical environment, PhD chemists ensure that products don’t include harmful unconsumed reactants, he says. But nobody is measuring the pH of delta-8 products or testing for strong acids and residual metals that are left behind, he says."

 

Yeah I’ve read some accounts of delta 8 users winding up hospitalized due to the lack of regulation and a bunch of dirty carts hitting the market. Def gotta be careful if that’s the route you’re going, I take for granted how heavily regulated every product is in the PA medical system

 

think my little bit of experience might be it for me if that's the case

 

Yea I stopped messing with d8 a while back. It’s too costly for what you get out of it anyway.

 

Just went to Kind Farm for the first time! Holy shit their prices are so much better than MA. I paid $200 for an order that would probably be $265 in MA. Pleasantly surprised that they have the tax included in the advertised prices. Got some SeaWeed Co. Live resin carts. Not sure I've had live resin before so we shall see how potent it is

 

So I gotta try this

 

My dealer has been ignoring my texts all day. So goddamn annoying. Yesterday he said he’d be able to come then, and when it got too late for him to come, he said he’d stop by today. Haven’t heard from him since

 

Ugh this is the worst

 

So grateful that I don’t have to deal with that anymore!

 

Yup and i’m smoking the last of my bud right now. Good thing he’s not my only dealer so if he doesn’t reply before tomorrow then I’m texting the other guy but it’s still annoying af. He even texted me a picture of it before he ghosted

 

Had a funny night at work tonight... Sorry in advance for the long post

some backstory: on monday I was working a closing shift and my coworker, a small college girl who was on lunch, texts me from her car in the parking lot to ask if I could walk her back inside. She said there's a dude with a bike walking around the back of the building near the employee entrance and he had been wondering around back there for a few minutes.

When I go out to check on her he comes up to me and asks if he can lock his bike on a pole behind our building while he shops. "yeah dude! Of course you can!" I was a little wary at first but he came in the store, bought a bunch of hash, was super nice and gave a tip in my tip jar so I thought nothing of it.
-
So tonight we're about about ready to close and the guy from Monday comes in to shop after I just finished helping someone. As I'm checking out the Bike Dude the guy I just helped comes back in the store asking if we have jumper cables because his truck didn't start. I go outside to discover I don't have any cables aren't in my trunk and bike dude, who is coming around from the back of the building with his bike, chimes in: "I would totally jump your truck since I usually always carry jumper cables in my trunk but my car got stolen last week"

The truck dude and I both apologize- I go inside, Truck dude walks off to the gas station to buy cables, and bike dude pedals off across the street.

A little bit later Truck Dude comes back in with the cables and he is fired up. He looks at me and goes "Dude you'll never believe it but someone's actually having a worse night than me!" He then tells me that Bike Dude rode across the street where some junior high kids pop out from one of the buildings and start yelling "THATS MY BIKE MOTHER FUCKER! THAT GUY STOLE MY FUCKING BIKE". They chase after him, beat his ass, and took the bike back! lmao

And after all that...
I go outside with Truck Dude to jump his truck. After it starts he tell me he's got a gift for me. He explains that he grows for this company that grew an exceptional batch of Strawnana. He pulls out 2 grams of some Strawnana hash rosin processed by the best rosin company in Oklahoma (behind my company of course!) and just gives it to me. This rosin sells for $70-$75/g at the store across the street from ours!

On top of all that- after I go back inside I get a patient who tipped $20!

Anyway- dabbing this Strawnana rosin now! What a day!
