The Pot Thread

[Giff]

I really like the Airpro thanks to Brian. The cartridges are different for that one though.

Its my understanding that not all pens necessarily work with cartridges from different companies? True?

True to a point. There are several different manufacturers of pens, some of whose cartridges only work in their particular brand of pen (like the AiroPro ones Giff mentioned). That said, if those manufacturers represent the "Betamax" option, the vast, vast majority of cartridges are designed to support the "standard"/"VHS" 510-thread pens.

If generically referring to a weed pen, you'd almost certainly be referring to a 510-thread pen. Any dispensary, about 90 to 95 percent of its available cartridges are going to be 510-thread compatible. If you try to purchase a cartridge that isn't, the staff will almost certainly alert you.

ETA: There are probably HUNDREDS of manufacturers of vape pens, but with like about three or four exceptions I can think of, those are all 510 thread pens. It's unnecessarily confusing I'll admit. But no one can stop someone from making a different standard of vape pen if they're also going to make the cartridges for it. But like I said, every dispensary I've ever been in will go overboard to make sure you know if you're not buying a 510 thread cart.

as noted earlier in this thread, I've had a couple that worked...but only after I took a safety pin to the contact plate on the bottom of the cartridge and moved it or cleared it. Before they "worked" but it was similar to hitting a really really resin-clogged pipe. The first hit after I fixed them was a doosy.

I’ve had this happen as well. Like you implied that’s not a compatibility issue but a manufacturing defect of some kind or another.

Amazon says workers and applicants fired or barred during marijuana screening are now eligible for employment

The company is also lobbying the federal government to legalize marijuana

To circle back, I went with Vessel because I liked the idea of variable settings and they were having a sale. So far, so good.

Oh yeah. I was told at a party last weekend that the CBD place downtown sells "stickers" and when you ask for stickers they say "$20 or $50?" and once you've bought your stickers they ask if you want to trade them and when you say "yes" they then take the stickers back and hand you a bag of weed. The person who I was talking to only had secondhand experience, but it was via his wife (who eventually rolled a joint and smoked it that evening). The CBD store is located basically in the shadow of city hall on the most prominent corner in town. I can't decide if that makes sense to be allowed in the current legal but not fully commercially available limbo NJ is in or if it's shady or what.

I used some RSO the other day and really enjoyed it. Next time I order from the green grocer, I'm going to add a syringe of this to my order.

It's shady, but I'm not sure if the store could be prosecuted. Sure, it's a thin veil to buy a sticker and immediately trade it for weed, but maybe it'd work? I think most Judges would say it's selling weed, but maybe some would say it isn't. I don't think the purchaser could get in trouble, as long as it's under the possession limit, which I believe is 6 ounces. Just sucks that it's almost been a year, and there is almost no movement on setting the rules for sales. I thought I could replenish in Colorado next month, now I'm stuck waiting. Stupid COVID.

Holy Jesus, glad that stuff didn't exist when I was in high school or college. Someone would have thought it was funny to drop that stuff onto unsuspecting people or add it to a joint.

If you ignore the startup costs, the whole process couldn't have been much quicker and easier here. Plus its fun to shop for shit you couldn't ever before.

Where did you go?

Most weed you get nowadays is already way, way stronger than what we smoked back in the day. I get stoned almost immediately as it is, so no feckin' way do I need this extra-strength stuff!

[mister d]

Ha, yes. Edibles were fine but the first time I used the pen I was glad I did it when the family was gone.

Where did you go?

I go to the place in Montclair because their stock seems to be about 3x what Maplewood has without as many inventory fluctuations. The card was through Good Vibe Medical which was all over the phone.

So you got a medical card... interesting. Only time I used a vape was SCK's. Walking down a very long hotel hallway with constantly repeating patterns had me giggling like toddler. I thought I walked a couple miles and it just wouldn't end. NJ just needs to copy California's laws for dispensaries. Best shopping experience I've had in any store for any product. All the people freaking out that dispensaries are going to lead to piles of vagrants in the street need to grow up.

The guy who shared it with me told me that I only a drop the size of a piece of rice. I scoffed. He gave me a rice size piece and told me that if in 45 minutes, I didn't feel it, he would give me more. I took no more. I wasn't bombed, but I was comfortably high.

Girl next to me sparks up the most wonderfully smelling herb I've ever smelled. Weed defacto legal in any American city. Its early afternoon. 420 I know but legal or not the legals states have influenced us all.

Got a kind pen that either really sucks or i don't know how to use it. No button, autodraw, but when a cartridge is screwed in, it's like the heater never stops. Anyone had an issue like that before? Can't find much on the web, but it appears this is a pretty new model that I ordered on a whim late one night. I can call customer service but figured I'd ask.

[mister d]

Yeeeaaahhh!!!

[P.D.X.]

Been banking on that the whole time.

[brian]

Of all the times for me to be doing a THC "detox"...

[Johnnie]

206 days and a wake up, you guys.

Excited for you!

Recreational sales in New Mexico start on 4/1. I want to move to there.

[Rush2112]

I'm taking multiple boosters daily.

[Giff]

I honestly don't remember the last day I didn't have a booster. Maybe the our first two days in Hawaii in 2017?

Move to Toronto.

I have 7 stores within a 15 minute walk, and maybe 20 within a 10 minute drive. Whenever a retail spot becomes available (which is often these days) a weed store opens up.

Yes move to the most expensive city in a country known for its inexpensive cost of living.

Is there a restaurant that serves a carne adovada stuffed sopapilla?

A friend of mine is in ABQ for work this week on base and I told her to go to Monroe's and get carne adovada stuffed sopaipilla with red and green chile.

My niece lives in Brooklyn and finally went to Santa Fe BK the new NM joint in Brooklyn. She gave it high marks... So NJ folk that hit the city.

Looks like it's just a few blocks from the Brooklyn Brewery. That place was decades ahead of it's time with their tasting room setup. Spent a long afternoon there ... shit, 20 years ago?!? How is that possible? Probably the last time I went to Williamsburg.

[mister d]

If it was closer to 17 years ago I may have been there with you.

Went to the local head shop Went in and asked for a battery and he looks at me dead in the eye and says "For (airquotes) CBD Cartridges?(/airquotes)" and just laughs.

It's an autodraw and it's really nice.

[rass]

I very nice friend supplied me with some edibles which he said were strong enough that he halved them before handing them off and all they've done, if anything, is make me sleepy. Looks like I picked the wrong month to (temporarily) quit drinking. Sad!

[mister d]

Do you know which ones?

[brian]

Do you know which ones?

Yeah, Indica makes me sleepy, but sativa makes me more alert.
