Smoked? Depends on strain and quality. Depending on stress levels, I can go through 1/4 - 1/2oz of high-grade Sour Diesel a week. A lot more if it isn't that great or it's an indica. Retail pricing keeps me well below that amount, growing allows it.

Edibles? When I have my 1K hps running I'll have a lot more available to cook with, make pills and such. I can see going through a pound fairly quickly. Mind you, not all of that is 'activated' and I'm simply medicating properly for my conditions.

Money keeps most people from using as much cannabis as they should be. If the patient is buying, they need quite a bit of cash or they're going to have to ration like I have.

It also depends on the patient. Someone who has insomnia once a month or so isn't going to need but a gram or so. A heavy pain patient can go through 2 - 4 ounces a week in edibles and such. It depends on what you're treating.

Good to see you over here optic, I noticed your from the UC thread. I really would like to be able to provide most of my 20 patients with free medicine and/or cheap enough prices for the amount that they need monthly. I was kind of thinking that if I offered 15 1/8th's a month free and $10 a gram over that I could really help some people out.

I do practically the same. i dont have as many patients and i dont track the amount thats given away(more than you tho) but i can do it under 2 x 600 hps..you have realistic expectations and i applaude you and everyone else out there helping the patients in need.

 

[Feijao]

trybud - can you explain how your system works a little more in detail if you can. I would love to see what others are doing to "really" help the more disadvantaged patients out there.

I need 4 gms a day for my ailments.

 

[medmaker420]

I smoke 2+ zips a month personally.

 

[geopolitical]

I run about 1 1/2 a month, wife is around 2oz.

 

[PondeLftHndSide]

Any less than about 3.5g per day of top-shelf and I'm the Human Pinball. About 4 or 5 grams per day on average for me, mostly Sativa, Indica before bed.

My condition changes frequently and my usage fluctuates.
On average I would say I smoke from 3-5g a day but it can be more or less.
I have never really been able to use MJ in any other way than smoking,
other than the occasional bubble or honey.....just never looked for it.
I look forward to learning more about the other products offered by the dispensaries.

Good Idea for a thread.....

Good Idea for a thread.....

Sounds like so far it is about 4 grams per day or 1/8th. Damn that adds up over a month. I am giving away over 1 elbow per month to some very in need ad deserving patients. I definitely see use go up once they are able to access more.

Some of what I see is the social side too. As we all know it is a social interaction and many........ shall we say break bread more often instead of hording. Pretty soon you see the number of people at their house increase when you visit. This is good and bad. My resources for supplying are limited so I must concentrate on those in the most need for the meds by condition not by social perogatives.

Peace

i'm an antisocial smoker... people have heard about my pieces but fewer have seen them and even fewer have ever hit them... loose lips sink ships and whatnot

as far as helping out people it's just about knowing who is really in need; if they really can't afford it then i'll kick em down for free and consider it karma in the bank but it's need based... also give it out in small amounts; a g at a time; just visit and check on em; like a caretaker should... that or a fixed amount 2x a month;

and remember; if they complain about free herb they might not be as deserving as you think

I go through much less when using the vape, if I'm smoking it's a gram or so per day (I think that comes out to about 1/4 per week), the prices keep my consumption lower. Usually it's a bowl in the am and a few at night. When my girls are harvested in a couple weeks, my usage will probably increase slightly, but I don't really need to use a ton to help my condition,.
