Don't
do drugs, kids
Or at least not at my level, which is still relatively functional after amounts that would otherwise incapacitate y'all fetuses
I had been on the hunt for a THC-P vape since the THC-O ones are great and I found one on the way back from the dispensary...of course I had to make sure it worked before leaving the store (again, but this place is right down a couple blocks from where I live) and at first it was clogged and wouldn't work. I sucked on it harder heh heh that's what she said and it suddenly began to work but I think I got some oil on my tongue* so there's that
And when I can home I couldn't wait to try the mango flavored Lost Farm chews (they're like Starbursts and very good) so I had one of those
And then I tried the full spectrum oil that the budtender said was good and versatile for people who can't smoke a lot, so I squirted some of that into my loaded pipe (which was loaded with my father's special Kush x Humboldt (mine) hybrid that he made...which is pretty good)
Needless to say it hit me all at once and now I can't go get my damn dinner in 2.5 hours because I'll be passed the fk out and hopefully dreaming up the exact layout and crap for UVC (still working on it)
Tumblr media
after I get down this hallway

AZ THC Per Se License Suspensions
Can I get a 90-day DUI license suspension if I have THC in my blood but I am not impaired? According to a recent Court of Appeals decision the answer is No in Arizona.
Some states, such as Washington, have set per se limits (5 nanograms) on the amount THC (the active ingredient of Marijuana) in blood. These limits mean someone is guilty of DUI or can have their license suspended if they are driving and have at least 5 nanograms of THC in their blood, even if they are not impaired. This is not currently possible in Arizona.
In 2020 the Arizona voters approved Proposition 207 which changed the laws for Marijuana use. Prop 207 legalized the use of marijuana for people 21+ and decriminalized use in most instances for under 21 years. Prop 207 also said the State cannot impose penalties for the lawful use of marijuana.
For Marijuana DUIs Prop 207 made two important changes.
A person can only be found guilty of the crime of Marijuana DUI if the driver is impaired to the slightest degree by the THC in their body. This was a major change in the law because before Prop 207 a driver who had THC in their body was automatically guilty, unless the driver was not impaired and using Marijuana pursuant to a Medical Marijuana Card authorization.
Prop 207 said the State may not set a per se limit (such as 5 nanograms) unless and until the scientific evidence is conclusive (that all persons are impaired at that level) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that particular limit (like .08% alcohol). (Prop 207, section 7.1, p. 16) To date the scientific evidence does not support any particular limit. (2017 NHTSA Report to Congress & 2021 Yale Medical School Report).
Arizona has a non-criminal DUI procedure under 28-1385, by which a driver’s license can be suspended for 90 days. For drugs such as THC, a driver’s license must be suspended if the person has in their body, “Any drug defined in section 13-3401 or its metabolite is in the person's body except if the person possesses a valid prescription for the drug.” Marijuana is a drug under 13-3401.19. No Arizona physician “prescribes” marijuana and an Arizona Medical Marijuana Card is an “authorization”, not a “prescription.” Therefore, anyone with THC in their blood is subject a 90-day suspension even though their use of marijuana may have been legal under Prop 207.
Prop 207 and 28-1385 are therefore in conflict. Prop 207 said there can be no penalties for the lawful use of Marijuana and 28-1385 imposes the penalty of a 90-day license suspension for the lawful use of Marijuana even with no impairment.
In the Kirsten decision the Arizona Court of Appeals resolved that conflict by saying there can be no 90-day suspension unless the THC in the driver was causing impairment.  The court said Prop 207’s language is clear, no penalty without impairment and a license suspension is a penalty.
This case will change the procedure for the MVD’s Admin 28-1385 Per Se suspension hearings for Marijuana. In a suspension hearing for alcohol the evidence need only be test results showing .08% Alcohol, or the presence of any alcohol in a person under the age of 21 years, or .04% for a Commercial Driver License holder (CDL) driving commercially.  In a case of a drug as defined in 13-3401 the lab report only has to show the presence of the drug.  These tests and lab results are hard and fast objective evidence.  In suspension hearings for Marijuana there are no limits by which objective lab results can show the person is above or below the limit.  Because Prop 207 prohibits the setting of limits until the scientific evidence conclusively shows everyone is impaired at that limit, there will be no limits for now.  Therefore, the evidence presented at the suspension hearings will have to be subjective. For example, does the presence of certain eye conditions mean someone is impaired by THC, and what scientific studies is that conclusion based on? In effect, 28-1385 Admin Per Se administrative hearings now will have to be mini-trials on the issue of impairment.

Essential Strategies to Beat a THC Drug Test – from UpinSmokeDC
Navigating the landscape of THC drug testing can be a challenge for both regular and occasional users of cannabis. Whether you’re facing a pre-employment screen, a random workplace test, or other professional inquiries, understanding how to cleanse your system is paramount. Here, we provide a robust guide filled with effective methods and scientifically-backed strategies to help you pass a THC drug test.
Understanding THC Detection Windows
Before diving into the strategies, it's crucial to know how long THC can remain detectable in your system. THC metabolites can linger in your blood, urine, hair, and saliva, each with different detection times. Urine tests, the most common form of drug screening, can detect THC for up to 30 days post-consumption, depending on usage patterns and individual metabolism.
Effective Detoxification Methods
Natural Detoxification Engaging in natural detox methods is the safest way to cleanse your system. This includes:
Hydration: Increase your water intake to help flush out toxins.
Balanced Diet: Focus on fiber-rich foods, lean proteins, and vegetables.
Exercise: Regular workouts can boost metabolism and fat burning, aiding in the elimination of THC.
Detox Products Several over-the-counter products claim to aid in detoxification. While not all are effective, some with natural diuretics, vitamins, and minerals may support the body's natural processes.
Short-Term Solutions
If you’re short on time, there are temporary solutions that can help you pass a urine test:
Dilution: Consuming large amounts of water can dilute urine temporarily. However, this might lead to a test being flagged as tampered.
Detox Drinks: Certain drinks can temporarily mask THC in your system, though their reliability can vary.
Long-Term THC Elimination
For those who have more time to prepare, long-term strategies include:
Cease Consumption: Stop using cannabis immediately to prevent further accumulation of THC.
Regular Exercise: Increased physical activity over time can reduce fat-stored THC.
Dietary Adjustments: A consistent, healthy diet can gradually cleanse your system.
Hair Follicle Tests: Cutting Through the Myths
Hair follicle tests are another common method that can detect THC for up to 90 days. Some strategies claimed to be effective include:
Hair Detox Shampoos: Special shampoos designed to strip THC from hair shafts.
Home Remedies: Some suggest using vinegar, detergent, or salicylic acid, but these methods lack scientific backing.
Saliva Tests: Quick Fixes for Sudden Screening
Saliva tests are less common but can detect THC for up to 48 hours. To prepare:
Oral Hygiene: Brushing teeth and using mouthwash can reduce traceable THC in saliva.
Chewing Gum: Certain gums can absorb toxins, potentially reducing detection risk.
Lifestyle Adjustments for Systemic Cleansing
Adopting a healthy lifestyle is the most reliable way to pass a drug test. This includes:
Adequate Sleep: Ensuring enough rest can help your body's natural detoxification processes.
Stress Reduction: High stress can slow down metabolism, so engage in relaxing activities.
Professional Advice and Legal Considerations
It’s important to seek professional advice when attempting to cleanse your system for a drug test. Additionally, be aware of the legal implications in your region regarding tampering with drug test results.
When All Else Fails: Knowing Your Rights
In some cases, despite all efforts, you may fail a drug test. Know your rights in this scenario, including asking for a retest or explaining any potential medication interactions.
By following the above strategies, you can increase your chances of passing a THC drug test. Remember, the most reliable method is abstinence and a healthy lifestyle. If you’ve found these tips helpful and are seeking further insights into enhancing your online presence through strategic SEO practices, consider exploring additional resources.

How much THC is in marijuana
Tumblr media
THC power in pot can be anyplace from close to 0% in hemp-determined items to 90+ percent in maryjane concentrates.
THC power isn't static, by the same token. Different elements influence THC levels, from seed up until the second you light up. Sorting out how much THC frequently requires somewhat more exertion than simply perusing the name.
In this aide, we'll cover the different sorts of THC present in pot, how you can ascertain THC content, and how much THC content decides marijuana's power.
What is viewed as a high measure of THC in weed?
Marijuana customers are frequently deluded into imagining that any weed strain with under 25% THC should be recognizably less intense than normal. However a large part of the marijuana developed and consumed is around 15% THC. In The Netherlands the Trimbos Foundation conducts a yearly overview of pot and hash power. Trimbos are the Dutch Organization of Psychological wellness and Enslavement.
The twentieth yearly study has recently been finished, with weed tests bought from 50 distinct cafés. For each situation, the most grounded marijuana assortment was bought from the coffeeshop as well as the most famous assortment. THC and CBD are estimated. What compels the Trimbos concentrate so enlightening is the logical way the data is assembled.
You might be intrigued to realise the THC levels in the absolute best 'premium' bistro weed assortments was 17%. So from that proof alone, you could express that around 17% THC is viewed as a high measure of THC in weed. All things considered, the Dutch bistro framework has been laid out for quite some time. Numerous bistros are provided by talented expert cultivators utilising solid hereditary qualities. However many individuals would maybe have expected the best bistro strains to contain above and beyond 20% THC.
The amount THC is in Cannabis?
How much THC in weed shifts considerably between various strains and items. It even fluctuates across time.
At the point when THC strength was first precisely estimated during the 1960s, content in many strains floated at around 4-5%. These figures might be somewhat flattened, however, as testing and stockpiling techniques utilised in those days frequently debased the weed tests.
In any case, there's little uncertainty that THC content in many strains developed today is fundamentally higher than in the past. As additional states authorise sporting weed, more raisers are exploring different avenues regarding new strains and contending to create the most powerful blossom.
The Medication Requirement Organization (DEA) reports that the typical THC power of the cannabis seized in 2018 was around 15%. Presently, it's generally expected to find marijuana bloom in state-legitimate dispensaries with over 20% THC. One well known strain, Guardian OG, has as much as 34%.
The scope of THC content increments further contingent upon the item. Beside bloom, customers can likewise purchase maryjane edibles, colours, topicals, and concentrates.
Weed concentrates are made by removing the cannabinoid and terpenes from the bloom and disposing of any overabundant plant material. The subsequent amass can contain somewhere around 70% THC, however items with over 90% THC are likewise accessible.
How is THC content Determined?
The THC content of pot demonstrates its power, so customers need to know the rate while making a purchase.
Most states with legitimised pot expect items to be tried for THC content (among other cannabinoids) and for this data to be shown on the name.
Notwithstanding, since there aren't extensive principles for weed item testing and marking, this data on the name might differ from one state to another and item to item.
By and large, however, frequently under the heading "Intensity Examination," the item name will incorporate figures for THC, THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic corrosive), and All out THC (as well as CBD, CBDA, and All out CBD).
Understanding the distinctions between these THC rates is the most important move toward understanding how THC content is determined.
THC Versus THCA: What’s the distinction?
Tumblr media
In the event that you take a gander at a pot item mark, you'll see there's substantially less THC in pot than there is THCA, which is a non-inebriating cannabinoid. Maryjane bloom might contain just 1-2% THC however over 20% THCA.
THC is delivered, or 'enacted,' from THCA through decarboxylation, which essentially implies utilising intensity to change over THCA into THC. This cycle likewise happens normally over the long haul.
This is the reason ingesting crude pot bloom will not get you that high.
The THC content we're most keen on is the sum present by weight in dry blossom after decarboxylation since this generally decides its power. This sum's known as 'complete THC' content.
On a marijuana item name, the all out THC esteem is not exactly that of THCA. This appears to be strange since we could anticipate that 'absolute THC' should just be the amount of THC and THCA.
This isn't true, however, for two reasons.
To start with, THC is lighter than THCA. Subsequent to changing over, THC is 87.7 percent of the heaviness of THCA. Fundamentally, THC is THCA with lacking pieces.
Second, decarboxylation isn't totally proficient. THC transformation relies upon different elements, for example, temperature, openness time, and the warming instrument utilised (an open fire or a vaporizer, for instance). Thus, some THCA particles won't change over completely to THC, while openness to a ton of intensity will corrupt THC into CBN.
THC Content: A Basic condition for the most reliable number
Deciding the specific THC transformation effectiveness is, accordingly, very troublesome. Some pot testing labs gauge that around 75% of THCA will change over completely to THC, however this is a maximum cutoff.
This really intends that to compute THC content, first, consider the weight contrast among THC and THCA, then, at that point, the failure of the THC transformation process, prior to adding how much THC currently present in the pot item.
What are the most noteworthy THC rates in weed to date
It's intriguing to see THC levels above 25%. Despite the fact that it is undeniably more considered normal to see cases of 25-30% THC levels in pot. Generally, the extremely best quality weed you will see is in the range 25%-30% THC. In reality, any weed strain with more than 20% THC ought to be viewed as a serious area of strength exceptionally. Everyday it's a word of wisdom to expect lavish THC professions to be upheld by lab information, more often than not it isn't.
Dutch Enthusiasm utilizes autonomous research centers to lead THC testing, typically two distinct labs are utilized and the information is looked at. By utilizing free labs the information is probably going to be more exact than the possibly one-sided information you can get from tests made yourself. By utilizing two autonomous labs you take out the opportunity of rebel results. The most elevated THC levels seen by Dutch Energy in autoflows is around 25-30% THC which has been recorded over and again by autonomous research facilities on a few Dutch Enthusiasm strains.

tw / suicide , car crash , blood , drugs , alcohol , religion
weekends don't feel the same anymore
ive been away for far too long
cruisin' and bruisin' down the highway of hell that is my poor miserable life.
gaining new tumors and ulcers and blisters and bumps every goddamned day
flying so high the birds cant even see me and then crashing so hard that even james dean himself would feel sorry for my soul
never sleeping and not eating. no drinks and no shoes and no shirt and no service, no drugs or nuclear weapons allowed inside.
wild life, right? the kind of mundane that you only get from working a 9 to 5 job in a cubicle for a pharmaceutical company
except im (insert age here) and unemployed and i have been my whole life
and i grew up too fast and escaped too slow and now i am painfully and totally trapped under the seatbelt in my flipped car on i-80 and the child locks are on
and im suspended above a holy burning fire set as a trap for the angels as they come to reclaim their vessel for lucifer himself
a devil like me that only the sweetest of grandmothers could love and care for, and take in as if they're their own
knowing full well their time is almost up and soon they'll be leaving some poor preteen to the foster system in heaven, and all of the cherubs and archangels will pass them around like a plate of chopped liver at an overcrowded thanksgiving dinner that your mom said you had to go to and, yes, you have to wear the sweater vest
it's like a party except you're all alone and there's only gas station vodka and all of the music comes in the form of clocks ticking and other cars passing you at 90 miles an hour as you lay dying.
and nobody seems to care, and nobody called the police because you finally got what was coming to you.
what has been coming to you since the 8th grade.
a suicide so potent that only the greatest alchemist could have ever even dreamed about brewing, and somehow you've done it yourself on the cold tile of your mother's bathroom.
and all of the pills once in the cabinet are splayed on the floor around you, soaking up and dissolving in the pool of warm blood that is making a slipping hazard all over the floor that she loved more than you.
and that same gas station vodka bottle that you partied with like it was your last night on earth is laying in the crook of your corpse's elbow. painfully empty and trying desperately to fill with blood as it spills from every vein in your body, terribly black and thick, and not at all how the blood of a human being who was loved would look like.
and when the police zip up your body into a black bag and send it to the lab for testing, the head officer just shakes his head and rubs his temples because even though he never knew you he still knew that this was coming.
and as your tired coroner makes the first incision of your autopsy the tox screen comes back and tells him all the pills that you ate.
hydrocodone, acetaminophen, amoxicillin, ibuprofen, codeine, alprazolam, detroxamphetamine, amphetamine, diazepam, escitalopram, fexofenadine, fluoxetine, lorazepam, ranitidine, and sertraline Vicodin, amoxil, Motrin, Tylenol, Xanax, Adderall, Valium, Lexapro, Allegra, Prozac, ativan, zantac, zoloft
not to mention a fuckton of THC and booze
and he sighs and scratches his ass and wonders if he should even bother finishing, because he already knows that your insides are mangled and black and disgusting.
and he thinks it's a miracle that you even made it this far, and he knows how much poison you used, and the officer knows how much blood there was, and your family knows how much they resent you, and God knows how much guilt you carried until the bloody brutal end.
everyone knows everything about you. except why you did it, because you never left a note and you don't have any friends to tell so you took that dark secret to the grave with you. literally.
and the funeral is sparse and quiet, and one of your high school teachers attends and tells your red-eyed bloodline how much of a pleasure you were in class and says those five words that they are so so tired of hearing:
"I'm sorry for your loss"
and they've heard it a hundred times today, and a thousand times this week, and a billion times in the last 18 years because that is the only thing you consistently said to them.
and it was always 'I'm sorry' and never 'I love you' and now you can never take that back because you're dead and six feet under, and there's not anything left of you on the mortal plane or existence to bring you back as a ghost so you have to live, or rather not, with the fact that your family thinks you hate them.
and there's nothing you can do except relive your memories, because apparently hell is a movie theater that plays all your moments back to you and you sit there and realize that everything is terrible, and you see everything that you could have done differently if you had just cared a little bit more.
and you miss your brothers, and you realize now that you did have friends and you would give anything just to see them one more time.
and you finally, finally, finally find something that you regret more than living:
dying

Tinkering with Cannabis: CBD Candle Review # 2
Product: Creme Brûlée CBD Candle
Company: Kush1 Productions
Website: https://www.kush1productions.com/shop/tnod9qed58n4s7tvreoydsxazb0qgz
Hello again to all my cannabis lovers and canna-curious friends, and welcome back for another CBD candle review of Creme Brûlée by Kush1 Productions. This candle has a very strong, sugary scent, which will leave you yearning for some delicious baked goods! This product has three main terpenes, which are responsible for the scent and effects: Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Bisbol.
Myrcene, which is one of the most common terpenes in cannabis and carries scents of spice, pepper, balsamic, and earth. It is responsible for sedation, muscle relaxation, pain reliever, and anti-inflammatory. Caryophyllene, is known for its spicy, black pepper, musky, and citrusy profiles. This terpene activates then endocannabinoid system, as well as it has been found to be a great anti-inflammatory. Last, Bisbol, with its citrusy scent, has been found to be an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and microbial, as well as it’s an effective sleep aid.
I used this candle for the 90 hours it is expected to last. I did find that it held up to the longevity expectations. When using this candle in the living room, I found the wonderful scent of Creme brûlée wafted through the house. It smelled like the house had baked goods cooking at all times. That in itself is relaxing, but then add in the effect of the terpenes and CBD and get ready to relax. This candle is not only perfect for your everyday use at home, but it is also is something I’d highly recommend if you are trying to sell you’re house and want that “home cooked baked goods” experience while encouraging a relaxing environment. It also would be a wonderful holiday gift!!
The candle comes in a thick glass cup candle holder. Beware, it does get very hot, so be careful when using this, which is common with any candle glass. It is also important to note never to leave the candle burning while unattended. The candle itself is double wicked, and the one downside is trying to snuff out the candle when you are finished. I use a glass plate to put over the top of the cup to suffocate the flame.
I found improvements in the level of relaxation in my environment from burning this candle. I did not find it to work immediately, but after about an hour in, it is hard to resist the scent and the relaxation begins to set in. The longer I burned the candle, the more relaxed the environment felt. Given the amazing scent and a great way to inhale CBD without smoking or vaping, I give this product 4.9 stars. Phenomenal job K1 Productions, keep up the great work!
Note: This is not a THC candle, so do not expect to feel high from this product. It is a CBD only product.

Monthly Listening: April 2020
Listening to music during quarantine has been... interesting. This might sound obvious but I’ve been putting on more indoor music. Calmer stuff. Especially because those indoor listens happen in the morning or at night. I’ve been saving more of the dynamic stuff like upbeat pop and rap, energetic techno or loud ass metal for my walks. It makes me realize just how much environment and activity plays into my listening choices now that I don’t have work or my work commute to determine those.

What Does CBD Feel Like?
Cannabis is no longer limited to tapestry-laden basements or shag-carpeted VW buses. It's quickly becoming a respectable industry with scientists recognizing verifiable health benefits of this unique chemical compound known as CBD.
With so much hype sweeping across North America, you may well be wondering, “Well, so how exactly does CBD make you feel?” We realize why you may be cautious about a compound based on the cannabis plant. All things considered, we're not all teenagers anymore. Some people might not wish to feel high.
Fortunately, cannabidiol (CBD) is really a compound in hemp and marijuana plants that, on its own, does not make you are feeling high. Instead, CBD is just a non-intoxicating cannabis compound that offers anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving and anti-anxiety effects, in addition to other beneficial properties.
If you're interested but wary of trying CBD oil, let's replace your fears with details about how CBD feels. This way you may make a well-informed decision.
Does CBD Oil Make You Feel High? Let's make this superior: hemp-derived CBD oil will not make you are feeling high or produce an intoxicating effect. Actually, it's among over 100 non-psychoactive (or non-intoxicating) chemical compounds found in cannabis. Instead to getting you stoned, CBD feels relaxing and calming without producing any mind-altering effects.
You might be surprised to find out that the human body produces cannabinoids on its own. The human body has an endocannabinoid system in charge of creating and receiving cannabinoids. This system uses two receptors: the CB1 and CB2 receptors.
The psychoactive ingredient in cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol, more commonly called THC. This intoxicating compound alters normal brain communication by affecting neurotransmitters directly. This influence affects the pleasure, memory, concentration, movement, sensory and time perception centers of the brain by attaching to the CB1 receptor.
Cannabidiol, or CBD, on the other hand, doesn't act in your receptors in the same way. Evidence indicates that CBD does not attach directly to these receptors at all. Instead, it works through the endocannabinoid system indirectly to relax the body and reduce pain and inflammation.
To put it differently, CBD doesn't affect the mind just how THC does. It does not make you feel high, disoriented or forgetful.
Benefits of CBD Oil
CBD oil has many benefits, minus the negative side effects of the THC high.
CBD is useful for:
treatment reducing anxiety and depression relieving nausea and vomiting fighting acne reducing spasticity in people who have multiple sclerosis treating epilepsy lowering blood pressure reducing inflammation If you have problems with a number of of these diagnoses, talk to your doctor to see if CBD oil is right for you.
How Does CBD Make You Feel? It Depends on the Product Type Ultimately, just how CBD can make you feel depends upon the type of extraction you choose. You can even obtain CBD with minimal THC, other cannabis compounds, or completely isolated from other cannabinoids. CBD oils
Each kind of CBD has pros and cons. We'll go over your choices below.
Hemp-Derived vs. Marijuana-Derived CBD The 2 classifications for the plant that creates CBD are hemp and marijuana.
Hemp
Hemp is normally grown industrially for its fiber. It's a hardy plant that can be used to make rope, paper and even clothing. Hemp contains CBD, but U.S. law requires so it contains no more than 0.3% THC. Hemp-derived CBD is legal in all 50 states. Remember that products branded as “hemp oil” are not the same as CBD oil, and typically don't contain any CBD at all.
Marijuana
Marijuana, on the other hand, is grown primarily for the intoxicating ingredient, THC. Though some strains contain CBD, they normally have a higher THC content as well. Therefore, unlike hemp-derived CBD oil products, marijuana-derived CBD oil products could make you feel intoxicated.
Marijuana-derived CBD oil remains illegal at the federal level. In many states with medical or recreational cannabis legalization, you can legally purchase CBD with an increase of than 0.3% THC if you have a medical marijuana card or you're 21+, respectively.
The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) posseses an excellent map of state laws regarding the legalization of marijuana.
Full Spectrum vs. Broad Spectrum Both full spectrum and broad spectrum CBD are produced from the hemp plant. The main difference between both of these forms of CBD could be the THC content.
Full Spectrum
Full spectrum CBD contains a range of cannabinoids, terpenes and, legally speaking, may have as much as 0.3% THC. Broad spectrum starts as a full spectrum extract, but undergoes a supplementary process to remove the intoxicating compound.
So why would you would like that negligible number of THC? After all, 0.3% is inadequate to get you high.
Experts now believe that CBD is most effective when combined with hemp's other natural compounds: terpenes, flavonoids and other compounds. A 2005 study revealed that patients experienced more rest from pain and anxiety from full spectrum CBD than isolated CBD.
Called the “entourage effect,” it is believed that the full spectral range of cannabinoids found in the hemp plant encourage the required results a lot better than CBD alone.
Tumblr media
Sarah Polansky, founder and developer of the CBD oil brand Prismatic Plants, takes a strong stance and only full spectrum CBD oil.
“Always, always, always [choose] full spectrum extracts when buying health-positive CBD product,” she advised. “Beyond just cannabinoids, full spectrum means that the a huge selection of other beneficial compounds in cannabis like terpenes and phenolics haven't been removed.”
Broad Spectrum
However, some people don't want any THC inside their CBD oil at all. That's where broad spectrum CBD comes in.
Broad spectrum CBD contains terpenes, flavonoids, and other non-intoxicating compounds from the cannabis plant. With broad spectrum CBD, you are able to go through the entourage effect without the danger of consuming THC.
CBD Isolate CBD isolate starts as a CBD oil and is refined right into a fine, white powder. Other the terpenes, flavonoids and other cannabinoids are removed.
CBD isolate is decreasing in popularity as the advantages of the entourage effect are further supported with scientific evidence. It's still employed by people who would like to be certain they're getting nothing but CBD.
Forms of CBD No matter which type of CBD you select, there is a product to match your needs.
Oil
The most typical form, of course, is CBD oil or tincture. CBD oil is available in an amber or blue glass bottle with a dropper. Take anywhere from a couple of drops to a dropperful and place the oil under your tongue. Leave it there for 30 to 90 seconds. You should feel its effects within minutes.
Topical
CBD may also be used topically. You will find CBD-infused lotions, creams and soaps.
Beverages
You can even find CBD-infused beverages. However, adding CBD to a drink is much less simple as placing CBD oil in water. It must undergo a special infusing process to become effective. Ensure your CBD beverage is from a business that has perfected the art.
What Are the Negative Side Effects of CBD? Much like any supplement, CBD is not without its side effects. According to the Mayo Clinic, some users may experience:
dry mouth diarrhea reduced appetite drowsiness and fatigue In regard to drowsiness and fatigue, Polansky noted that “CBD is not just a sedative, however it does create a sense of relaxation by counteracting the quantity of stress-hormones our anatomies produce (like cortisol), which gives us that feeling of go-go-go — also called the fight-or-flight response.”
She added that, as time passes, our anatomies adjust to this feeling. Rather than feeling fatigued, you could experience a sense of balance.
CBD can also talk with other medications you're taking, such as for example blood thinners, calcium channel blockers, steroids, antihistamines, benzodiazepines, antiarrhythmics, antibiotics, antidepressants, anti-epileptics, beta blockers, NSAIDs and more.
CBD is processed by the same enzymes in the liver as the drugs listed above. For exactly the same reason, excessive consumption of alcohol must certanly be avoided when utilizing CBD.
If you're taking medication, consult along with your doctor before trying CBD.
Impurities and Dosage Irregularities in CBD Products Another cause for concern may be the unreliability of the purity and dosage of CBD in products. A recently available study of 84 CBD products bought online revealed that greater than a quarter of the products contained less CBD than labeled. Additionally, THC was within 18 products.
Some CBD producers go above and beyond to prove their purity by testing every batch. You'll find data concerning the percentage of CBD, THC and other cannabis-derived compounds on the websites. Always make sure you fully research your producer.
Is CBD Safe? Yes. While more research is needed to understand the entire aftereffects of CBD, it's widely regarded as safe to consume. Polansky advocates for the safety of CBD.
“We've yet to have years of conclusive human studies to point out to be able to answer this question with absolute certainty, but the prominent studies done to date really show no negative unwanted effects for CBD (especially full spectrum CBD),” she argued.
Compared to THC, and even many over-the-counter medicines, CBD has far fewer side effects. While each individual's needs are unique, CBD is an incredibly safe option.
Feel Good With CBD CBD relaxes your system by reducing cortisol levels, pain and inflammation, all without making you are feeling high.
If you're new to CBD, Polansky recommended beginning with a low dose of 5 drops of 10 mg/ml CBD oil. Place the drops under your tongue for 1 minute, then wait 30 minutes to see the manner in which you feel. Repeat as needed.
This regimen enables you to gradually build as much as 30 drops (1 ml), which is a common dose.

I got mad on FB and posted a rant as a caption on a shared image.  The rant is SUUUUUUPER long and incohea-rant but it felt good to write...
I added the cut at about the same place fb puts the readmore
The image:  
Tumblr media
The rant:
I only have to be brave in order to reveal a SLIVER of my true self (if you think I'm not hiding autistic traits by forcing myself to act painfully against my natural relational, communicative, and self-expressive instincts literally any time anyone could potentially see?  you are wrong) because people who AREN'T trans and/or disabled and/or otherwise marginalized in our culture have made it LITERALLY UNSAFE not to. CW: bigoted violence against people of all ages, eugenics, and other bigotry both in the abstract and as it applies to me.  Also, I'll be deleting comments that aren't constructive and respectful because this is MY facebook and, while I don't mind discourse, I don't want to host any content that doesn't serve me.  Argue wherever else you want.  Freedom of speech protects you from the government, not the Alexx. (that right ALSO doesn't cover incitments to violence, like arguments in support of eugenics...............  bc killing someone for immutable traits of their very being?  violent.  Even if it's just in reproductive limitations or the legal need to literally sterilize yourself in order to transition legally...  👀) as well as disordered eating and related weight loss
Anyways...  I've been thinking about living in a world that is hostile to almost every part of me, for one or more reasons.  If I go into spaces for queer and trans people who share my interests?  It's full of white people who can't be rascist bc they "have a black friend" but I'm the black person they've "befriended" and we are NOT friends and they ARE racist. Black spaces?  Most of them transphobic, if not homophobic as well...  Again, usiually not at the surface but even at the best events the bulk are still rife with STRUCTURAL anti-queer microagressions... And so few spaces for queer people, POC, nerds, activsits even.....  MAYBE 1/10 puts accessibility info on the event listing...    I know that not every event can meet every need, but shouldn't they at least be meeting the need of letting me know BEFORE I spend 3 hours getting to a class on interserctional direct action only for me to be unable to attend without SOMEHOW asking the event hosts to help me up the half-flight of steps to get into the building...  But theres no contact info and in order to get help I'd have to GO UP THE STAIRS AND ASK!! Disabled people can make PENNIES to the dollar, not even ten cents to every dollar an abled person can make, and it's LEGAL!  A dollar an hour is LEGAL and sub-minimum wage is standard for disabled employees even in feilds where their disability doesn't impact performance on average. Acording to the CA Public Policy Institute, 32,500 is the minimum yearly income needed for a family of four in California over the average cost of living for the WHOLE state. I divided by 4 and got $677 and change. I make EXACTLY that in SSI, give or take fifty cents.  So lets do some math!  My favorite subject... My PRESCRIPTION meds cost about 30 bucks a month, if I ONLY get the few meds that Medi-Cal and my private insurance through my mom don't cover AND if I can convince all my doctors to give me the max quantity of those so I'm refilling those every 90 days instead of every 30.  My transit?  Now that I have access, is 68.75 for 25 rides which is about how many I need a month.  Compared to the long beach transit 25 ride pass (31.25) so that is already an increase in CoL of $37.50 (not including meds in this updating tally bc most people have some medical copay, and 30 a month on average is comprable to an able bodied person's appt and med copays if they had my private insurance even without medi-cal)...   I do have OTC meds which, a low esitmate for monthly, is about 50 (I'm not counting CBD and THC as med expenses here bc then the numbers would be skewed by racist drug laws too....) for Tylenol, allergy meds, meds for nausea and diarrhea and constipation, dry eyes, dry mouth, other med side effects and symptom management. $87.50 spending increase with REALLY low and highly excluisive estimates... Moving on!  Food.  I can't cook or clean up after myself on a bad pain day (5 to six days a week) so I've lost 20% of my body weight since August due to disability.  A few different grocery budget calculations for my needs if I could cook for 64 of 84 meals a month (20 meals eaten away from home, ordered in, or otherwise convenient) is $145 or so. This also doesn't account for cost increase for allergy safe food items.  Thats also how much calfresh I get, although that number is slightly higher than my food money.  That means that I only spend, according to Jan's bank statment, 100 bucks of my own money on food.  $187 above and beyond average basic expenses per CA policy.   And thats just three needs. LEGALLY housing can't cost more for me bc of a disability, so I'll leave that out of this rant thats getting too long... Just with the four basic needs listed I've only got $274.75 left to buy clothes, further an education or learn a trade so that I'm not on SSI my whole life, pay for anything urgent, pay for anything extra, have fun, pay for THERAPY to deal with the stress of having so little money...................  It doesn';t cover phone, internet, or any medical equipment I might need to fix/replace/or add to my collection of resources...  It sure as hell doesn't cover any kind of community work or social connection. Sometimes it feels like everything is against me and I feel paranoid...  And then I remember that in most states its legal to abuse and torture children like me to make them Normal and Acceptable (ABA, conversion therapy, skin bleaching...)

Passing a Piss Test
Typically not every form of metabolite is searched for with the much more commonly used mouth swab and urine sample drug test.
Nearly every drug check is unmonitored. The vast majority of drug tests are pre-employment low-quality checks. Which means you're going behind a screen while no one is watching you.
Tumblr media
What is A Urine Sample Drug Test?
The urine sample drug test, or urinalysis test, is the most common method of drug tests in which the validity of a person's urine sample is performed. It is risky for the candidate since conducting it is cheap and effective.
Nevertheless, it has a weak point and there are several techniques that you can use to pass a urine drug test, even at short notice.
Detox Naturally- The Safest Way To Pass A Drug Test
Full natural detox will take at least a week, but it generally takes much longer than that for a moderate user to get rid of the metabolites. If you are a moderate marijuana smoker, it could be two weeks or longer before all THC metabolites naturally work out of your body.
At its core, natural detox involves the following key things:
●Eat well. This means basic whole grains, vegetables and proteins, fruits and nuts.
●Workout daily, walking, running or cycling.
●Drink plenty of water every day, throughout the day.
● Abstain from drugs and other toxins such as alcohol and tobacco
By doing these things, you will allow your body to focus 100% on getting rid of toxins through the liver and kidneys, as well as by sweating, helping push some of the toxins out that way as well.
youtube
Detox Pills- Best Way Of Passing A Piss Test
Now as you probably already know, natural detox isn't the best way to pass a short-notice drug check. However, you can significantly shorten the amount of time by taking specially designed supplement, a course of pills that will help in accelerating the elimination of toxins.
There are three key brands of detox pills in the market that legitimately work, but they do get less effective in performance as we move down the list:
1.Toxin Rid 10 Day Detox
Along with the natural detox, one may use Toxin Rid, which is a detox pill used to accelerate the process of detoxification.
Toxin Rid has the best product review and although they are quite expensive but the quality and the result they give are worth the investment. Realize as to what is more important to you – Money or Job?
Toxin Rid is available in 4 duration courses that are 1 to 4-day incremental course, 5-day, 7-day, and 10-day toxin rid course.
Toxin Rid has the highest rate of success and it increases the process of detox by almost 50% and this means, you will be able to pass a urine drug test within three days.
2.Rescue 5 Day Detox
The second most recommended detox pill is Rescue 5 Day Detox, which is available in 5 days and 10-day courses. The shorter duration course is recommended for lightweight customers and the 10-day course is suitable for heavyweight and chain smokers.
Although, the Rescue 5 Day detox pills are quite expensive and the success rate of these pills is quite high but not as high as Toxin Rid Detox pills. The Rescue 5 Day Detox package would consist of Headstart capsules, morning and evening formula pills and ICE capsules (which work as detox drinks).
3.Herbal Pre-Cleanse Formula
The two detox pills discussed above are somewhat similar in nature but Herbal Pre-cleanse formula is quite a different formula. It is not a course of pills but it is a supplement that works over a period of a couple of weeks.
The price of the Herbal Pre-cleanse formula is one-fourth of the other two products. So if you want an easy and cheap way to blast toxins out of your body and have this much time before the urine drug test, then this is the perfect recommendation for you.
Synthetic Urine- The Fastest Way To Pass A Drug Test
The best way to pass a urine drug test on short notice is definitely synthetic urine. It’s a surefire way of passing a urine drug test of pretty much any intensity, but make sure you use the best synthetic urine kit. The fake urine sample will always fail the test.
A good quality synthetic urine will have the following attributes:
●At least 10 chemical markers a lab could use to check for a valid sample
●Urea
●Uric acid
●It won’t contain biocide or artificial preservatives
●It must foam when shaken
●The color should be like urine, not synthetic green like some fake ones
●It needs to smell like real urine
These bare minimum standards rule out 90% of the synthetic urine market. The following kits are absolute best when it comes to quality and effectiveness, again in the order of best to worse.
1.Sub Solution and Quick Luck
Sub Solution is the best and the most recommended synthetic urine kits available in the market, which can actually fail the testing lab’s systems. It contains all the essential chemicals that are present in human urine like uric acid, urea, and others. It doesn’t contain any biocide, which are preservatives added in products and nearly all brands in the market contain preservatives. Hence Sub Solution and Quick Luck (advanced version of Sub Solution) have an excellent reputation and trust among the customers.
2.Monkey Whizz
Monkey Whizz is touted to be one of the best synthetic urine kits available in the market for the pre-employment test. It is recommended for the basic pre-employment urine drug test and not for the advanced level tests as it doesn’t have a very advanced formula.
3.Quick Fix 6.2
Quick Fix is the second famous brand of fake urine and their new formula is 6.2 because it is made according to the current drug testing guidelines. It is an exact replica of human urine, as it contains uric acid, urea, exact pH range, creatinine, and exact specific gravity. Using Quickfix 6.2, a urinary drug test has limited risk of failure.

Your Beginner Guide to Marijuana Strains
With the legalization movement gaining momentum all over the world, breeders and growers are going above and beyond with creating new strains, each having their own unique set of effects, aromas, and flavors.
For some people, weed is just weed; they fancy the very act of smoking and just like to get high from time to time. But for a weed connoisseur, the world of cannabis strains is a true wonderland — with all that beautiful genetics to offer both recreational and medical users.
Marijuana strains can be broken down into three basic categories: indica, sativa, and hybrid. There’s also one less popular type of this plant — cannabis ruderalis.
In this article, we’ll shed light on how to classify marijuana strains by their appearance, geographic origins, and effects. We’ll also cover the subject of terpenes and different ratios between THC and CBD — the two major cannabinoids in marijuana.
Basic Classification of Marijuana Strains
As mentioned, marijuana strains fall into one of the following categories:
Indica
Sativa
Hybrids
Ruderalis
All varieties originated in different regions of the globe and have unique traits that help us tell the difference between one another.
In the next section, we take a sneak peak into each of these marijuana varieties.
Indica vs Sativa: What’s the Difference Between These Two Plants?
Cannabis is one of the oldest agricultural crops — with a 5000 year-long record of cultivation. The plant has evolved over the years to adapt to different climates. Both indica and sativa marijuana plants are unique to different parts of the world.
Origins
Cannabis indica plants originated from colder parts of the globe, mostly from mountain regions of Pakistan, Turkestan, Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Nepal. The majority of landrace indica strains were bred in the Hindu Kush region, hence the “Kush” name in many indica buds.
Cannabis sativa plants are native to the countries near the equator, such as Columbia, Mexico, Thailand, as well as to several Indian and African countries.
Appearance
Both indica and sativa marijuana strains vary in terms of their physical appearance and chemical makeup.
Sativa plants are usually much taller than their Indica counterparts, reaching up to 25 feet. Sativas also grow tall branches, and thin leaves, allowing the sun to shine through the flowers. If you’re growing a sativa strain, be prepared for generous yields after around 60–90 days. The buds of sativa flowers have a loose structure and are shaped into cones.
Indica strains grow small and bushy, reaching less than 7 feet on average. These plants produce densely packed flowers with increased resin production on their surface. Indica varieties are known for their pungent aroma and a relatively short flowering period. Typically, an indica plant is ready for harvest within 40–50 days from the flowering stage.
Growth Habits
The height of sativa marijiuana strains makes them better suited for outdoor fields. They require more care and patience to maximize the yields, but the result will pay you off.
Indica plants are usually grown indoors. They might not give you as generous yields as sativa strains, but the amount of resin on the nuggets makes up for that. Not to mention that indica marijuana strains have a shorter flowering time.
Effects
Marijuana strains produce different effects depending on the selected flowers.
Sativa buds are known for their cerebral stimulation and an uplifting, sometimes even euphoric high that also boosts creativity, prompts chattiness, and makes the user more focused.
As such, sativa marijuana strains are better for daytime use, especially if you need something to spice up a meetup with friends or when you’re a creative soul needing inspiration. Sativa buds are the go-to strains for those who are into wake n’ baking, as they keep the user uplifted throughout the day while sending away fatigue.
Indica strains work a bit differently. They actually have quite the opposite effects. This type of cannabis tends to make users sedated — the high is mostly focused on the body and brings down physical relaxation that melts away muscle tension, pain, and the whole spectrum of physical discomforts.
If you want to smoke or vape an indica strain, we recommend keeping it for the evening.
What Are Marijuana Hybrids?
Marijuana hybrids offer consumers the best of both worlds. They are grown by cross breeding different strains of marijuana. The result is a combination of different genetic traits from each strain in various concentrations.
There are three types of marijuana hybrids:
Indica-dominant hybrids
Sativa-dominant hybrids
Balanced hybrids (50/50)
Following that pattern, a sativa-dominant strain will show the majority of its sativa traits with some gentle hints of indica. By the same token, indica-dominant hybrids produce mostly body-focused effects with some cerebral notes of sativa.
Finally, a 50/50 hybrid will carry a well-balanced profile of effects due to the even ratio of both species — you can use 50/50 hybrids throughout the whole day.
Ruderalis: A Very Rare Type of Cannabis
The least common type of weed is Cannabis Ruderalis. These plants aren’t popular because they lack psychoactive effects. Still, marijuana breeders tend to use ruderalis for crossbreeding strains due to their ability to produce the auto-flowering effects.
How to tell if you’re looking at a cannabis ruderalis plant? This variety grows dense and short, reaching up to 25 inches. It looks more like an indica plant.
The Real Difference Between Various Marijuana Strains
This system of categorizing marijuana strains is very convenient and allows the user to get a general idea of what to expect when smoking different buds.
However, the indica vs. sativa classification isn’t the most accurate way of predicting the effects of marijuana. In fact, the geographic origins and the appearance of a plant has nothing to do with how it affects your body and brain.
It appears that the driving factors behind the unique effects of marijuana strains is more complex than we think.
Here’s how Dr. Ethan Russo, an esteemed cannabis expert, says about the above system:
“The way that the sativa and indica labels are utilized in commerce is nonsense. The clinical effects of the cannabis chemovar have nothing to do with whether the plant is tall and sparse vs. short and bushy, or whether the leaflets are narrow or broad.”
Russo isn’t alone in his skepticism. Another researcher, Jeffrey Raber, Ph. D., a chemist and founder of the first independent laboratory that analyzes cannabis terpenes, smashes the indica vs. sativa classification:
“There is no factual or scientific basis to making these broad sweeping recommendations, and it needs to stop today. What we need to seek to understand better is which standardized cannabis composition is causing which effects, when delivered in which fashions, at which specific dosages, to which types of [consumers].”
In other words, not all indicas will make you glued to the couch, and not all sativas will improve your mood and boost your energy levels.
How to Classify Marijuana Strains With Higher Accuracy
Marijuana plants are very complex, so the effects of any given strain will depend on a range of variables, such as:
The strain’s ratio between THC and CBD
Your unique body chemistry
The amount of consumed marijuana
Consumption method
Your tolerance to THC
Let’s start with the driving factor.
1. Mind the Ratio of THC to CBD
There are over 113 cannabinoids in the marijuana plants. All of them interact with one another to create synergistic effects. THC and CBD are the two best-researched cannabinoids that are responsible for the lion’s share of the medical and recreational benefits of marijuana.
THC is the psychoactive cannabinoid, the one that gets us high. The marijuana high involves a set of euphoric effects, such as elevated mood, relaxation, improved appetite, and relief from symptoms like stress, nausea, pain, anxiety, and inflammation.
CBD, on the other hand, is non-psychoactive. Simply put, it won’t get you high, but it also has a range of well-documented health benefits. CBD may reduce anxiety, seizures, inflammation, pain, and protect neurons in the brain against free radical damage.
When browsing marijuana strains online, you’ll typically find three categories:
THC-dominant flowers: these strains are most commonly used by recreational consumers and those seeking relief from such conditions like anxiety, insomnia, depression, trauma, or cancer. They work better with those who can tolerate the psychoactive effects of THC.
CBD-dominant flowers: this type of marijuana have high CBD levels with only small amounts of THC. CBD flowers induce mild euphoria with strong symptom relief. If you’re new to cannabis or don’t want to get uncomfortably high, this will be your best bet.
50/50 strains: some marijuana flowers, both indica and sativa, have balanced ratios of THC and CBD. Such strains are great for consumers seeking an introduction to marijuana’s staple high.
Cannabinoids aren’t the only compounds in cannabis. Below we shed more light on terpenes, the aromatic molecules in marijuana flowers.
2. Pay Attention to Terpenes in Your Strain
Terpenes are volatile compounds that give fruits and plants their unique scents and flavors. As you may guess, marijuana is abundant in different terpenes. However, these molecules also influence the effects of cannabis strains.
Dr. Raber points to terpenes as one of the driving factors in modulating the effect profile of marijuana:
“Which terpenes cause which effects is apparently much more complicated than all of us would like, as it seems to [vary based on specific] ones and their relative ratios to each other and the cannabinoids.”
Terpenes show a much more reliable correlation with certain effects than the sativa vs. indica morphology.
For example, strains high in linalool are known to be more sedating than other varieties. Limonene, the terpene that gives marijuana its citrus aroma, reduces stress and anxiety while boosting energy levels. Pinene, the terpene redolent of exotic fruits, may stir creativity and chattiness.
That’s how experienced users choose their strains. If take a waft from one jar and they like what they feel, it’s a good indicator that they’ve found a good match.
3. Try Different Consumption Methods
There are plenty of ways to administer cannabis — each of them will give you slightly different effects.
When it comes to smoking dry flowers, the high will be heavier because the effects of smoked cannabis come within minutes after inhalation, which makes it difficult to gauge the optimal dosage. This makes the user more likely to experience the side effects of THC.
If you want to inhale marijuana in a smoke-free way, try vaping your flowers. The vaporizer will heat the herbs only to the point where it starts to release cannabinoid- and terpene-rich vapor that you inhale through the vape’s mouthpiece. The high from vaporized marijuana is cleaner and also lasts longer.
Another way to achieve longer-lasting high and symptom relief is to eat some marijuana edibles. This consumption method ensures that cannabinoids will gradually absorb into your bloodstream, which may prove invaluable for patients with chronic disorders. However, edibles have a delayed onset due to the first-pass liver effects. Usually, the effects of a marijuana edibles take hold within 40–90 minutes.
Summarizing Different Marijuana Strains
Nobody is born an expert. If you’ve just got introduced to marijuana, choosing between the abundance of strains can be overwhelming, so it’s no wonder you’re seeking guidance.
After all, understanding the differences between marijuana strains is a must if you want to draw the most out of their benefits.
Discovering new cannabis varieties is super fun. Whether you’re looking for invigorating effects or you just want to unwind after a hard day, the abundance of weed strains allows you to enjoy your herbs just the way you like them.
Just make sure to be a responsible consumer. You don’t have to prove anything to anybody — your experience with marijuana is all about how you feel. With that said, it’s best to start low and go slow to hit the sweet spot without having to deal with the side effects of THC.

Let me tell y'all a story.
When I first was deciding what vape pen to pick up, I did a lot of research. I reached out to several companies about the extraction process, thinning agents, etc to make sure I knew wtf I was putting in my body.
@evolabc02 came to the rescue with answers to every stupid question I had. I bought an evolab dispoable vape pen in co2lors; melon because YUM. (Ironically, its the same flavor in the cart above haha)
I bought a few more from evolabs before I ended up with a refillable all-in-1. It clogged the first time I refilled it. Evolabs customer service was on point and replaced the whole kit n kaboodle and sent me an extraction kit to save the oil. Fuck yea.
Well, I also took the advice of my budtender one day and decided to try The Clear. The first cartridge was okay, despite tasting burnt about 90% of the time. It started getting clogged during the end so I figured it was just because it was almost empty. I bought two more when they went on sale at Livwell. One went on their battery. The other (1:1) went on the battery I have for my cbd pen. Same ccell brand battery. The thc cart still has about half in it, is so clogged I can't puff at all (so who knows how much oil is just inside the cart) and when I do get it to work, it tastes burnt. Meanwhile, my 1:1 cart remains as potent and flavorful as day 1.
I emailed The Clear about the burnt cart about a week ago and still haven't heard back.
Well, I decided to visit livwell today to see what they recommend doing with the cart. They said if I still had the receipt, they'd be able to help, but I bought this cart well over a month ago.
I have him pull a couple other carts because he said it could just be a bad cart. It comes down to The Clear in Blue Raz, or Evolabs Gorilla Cookies. Tbh I'm a huge fan of Evolabs alchemy series. Strain specific terpenes are the best and you get a way better, well rounded high.
I'm literally $2 short of cash to buy the evolabs cart.
I get home and open the Blue Raz and its cloudy af. This is strike 3. In the picture you can see clearly the difference between evolabs beautifully clear concentrate and the ultra cloudy blue raz. I'm done.
Guess I better find a few extra bucks to go get that Evolabs cartridge.

SOPHIE’S STORY  | Saving Sophie.org
Sophie Isabella Ryan was born October 3, 2012, perfectly healthy weighing in at 8 pounds, 7.4 ounces. Her birth had zero complications and I had the perfect pregnancy, doing everything right by way of diet and constant checkups with my OB. On June 20, 2013, Sophie had her first MRI scan after nystagmus, shaking of the eyeball, presented in her left eye. On June 23rd, at 8 ½ months old, Sophie was diagnosed with a low-grade, Optic Pathway Glioma brain tumor. My husband, Josh, and I were originally told that her only option would be a 13-month protocol of chemo in hopes to stop the development of the tumor. Since it is a slow-growing tumor, chemo was never meant to get rid of the tumor, and doctors told us if they saw even minimal shrinkage it would be considered a huge success.
Tumblr media
At this point, after succumbing to an emotionally devastating situation, we decided to dust ourselves off and look for other ways to save our daughter outside of just Western medicine alone! After creating a Facebook page called “Prayers for Sophie,” a friend on Facebook put us in touch with Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein, who were filming a documentary about how cannabis oils kill cancer in pediatric patients. I was originally inspired to try for a natural birth after watching their first documentary, The Business of Being Born, so I knew if these ladies were now focused on a film about cannabis, there had to be something to it! These women worked hard to surround us with the top oil makers and experts in California, and so our journey to healing our daughter began!
Tumblr media
Sophie has been on high-concentrated THC and CBD cannabis oil since she started chemo in October of 2013. The only side effects she ever had was a little sleepiness that completely went away as she acclimated to the oils. Now her only side effect is hunger, which is amazing since the chemo can affect her appetite. Despite several rounds of chemo, Sophie continued to gain weight and has a great quality of life despite having chemo once a week with short breaks from time to time. Her hair has grown back, she is advancing developmentally, and despite the nine blood transfusions she has required she is otherwise very happy and healthy.
Tumblr media
After 13 months of chemo and high doses of cannabis oil, Sophie’s brain tumor was about 85 to 90 percent gone, and a massive cyst that had formed was about 90 percent gone! We were told that chemo would also not get rid of the cyst. We were told that Sophie would go blind in her left eye and her right eye would likely be compromised. Because of the shrinkage we have seen from the use of cannabis oil, we have saved her vision, and the doctors at Kaiser Los Angeles are now in agreement that the cannabis oil has destroyed her tumor!  After an eye exam her vision was reported to be, “That of a normal two year olds.”
Tumblr media
A very special thank you to Stephen Amell, and all of our amazing friends & family for all of the fundraising and financial support they have given our family.  Because of their generosity, they have inspired us to help other families the way they have helped us. Through SavingSophie.org we hope to pay it forward to those who are now in the same financial troubles we once found ourselves in.
