A World On A String

My Method

My Method

This thing looks like a goddamned crack pipe...and it was cleaned 2 days ago



I've been taking semi dry nuggets of a Kush expression Hell Hound...stabbing them with a tooth pick...placing them in the dragons mouth...down on the screen (you can see the resin smears from pushing wet sugar leaves down..from an earlier session..dried by the heated glass)....

I crank the heat up all the way on the tube...then with a steady push...inhaling steady..slide the piece down until the heated tip almost comes in contact with the herb....inhale deep here..and pull back quick...inhaling as I go

That works well...flavor is amazing..and the exhale can be a very fine white. I can see it in the glass.

What it lacks?

Vaporizing does produce a different high. For me...it doesn't slam me as hard...there is no nervous paranoia..no blood sugar drop...like say...smoking a the 1st wake and bake..can produce. I actually like that...crazy as it sounds..but never the less..it's also cool..not 2nd guessing everything like an OCD case. Maybe a bit more productive

Something in the smoking herb...makes for a more heavy buzz. My vaporizing highs...are way more mellow...not weak...but I forget how high I am sometimes...like...I lose an hour here and there still. kind of drift off in the high...bubble head like

Today...I vaped for about 10 minutes straight...one after another...then went out and ran up the hill...that's in front of my house. Ran for over 2 hrs...the 1st hour I felt the canna high...would get waves of flavor coming when in labored breathing...pretty amazing and desirable. Good excuse to get winded

I never get that from smoking before a run..I get a dry mouth..and the high disappears within a mile. After a mile...I don't notice it...hardly at all. Smoking before a run though...makes me want to go. That's why it's become a ritual. The dry mouth just sucks...especially on dry days.

But...the vape high was outstanding...my mouth moist..and that great flavor...like citrus..berries...funk and fuel..hanging out. By the time it waned...I was on endorphins...roasting down hills and hitting hard the uphills. A great head transition...got outside the body at times...watching my shadow become its own thing..in control of itself

yeah folks...I'm going to get heavy into the vapor clouds. I'll wear this old thing out before I start looking into all the new technology. I have a portable battery operated thingy...but the batteries don't last..and it's not that efficient.

Christ..they can charge a lot of money for some of those gadgets..what a racket

Composting Males and Vaporizing Sage

Composting Males and Vaporizing Sage

Prune Juice IX1 males...furthered along in their cycle...feeding..now..the squirming worm population. As I was cutting them up...was proud of how funky they were...such stenches out of males..is never not..a good thing. Pollen is reflective....pollen passes as vehicle.

Feeling the Prune Juice IX1 population...February Flower Starts..a perfect month for building the Juice. My dark girls...the depths of winter...into spring flowers. Setting up to be a fun session. On schedule..like a locomotive...chug chug chug...pollen collected and the last few females already transplanted..soon to join the band

Took out a brown paper shopping bag...it contained a bunch of wild harvested white sage..harvested over a year ago...that I'd been going through...using as incense..purifier

Vaporized some sage leaves...then vaporized sage leaves combined with Hell Hound...awesomeness. Flavors like you may dream.

* When vaporized...these Hell Hound sisters become individuals. Their flavors are different. I'm finding through vaporizing...you can pick up...more...on the intricate subtle flavors. I know I'm getting this vaporizing down...when I can distinguish between individuals

** That squat expression...she tastes like tangerines over vinyl. Twangy flavor fills the mouth...then a wash of plastic coats your throat. Sounds disgusting...and it almost is...but no

*** Been about a week since I've smoked a joint. I think I'm done. I don't have any desire to smoke herb. Kind of strange how it all occurs...as I really do believe...this is an important transition...following a vapor trail. No thought went in...but honest reflection...a common head cold...and the weight of the body's jury...lead the way. Rabbit holes come in all shapes and forms

You gots to look at shit straight...as it is...and you can't deny what you see. No angle. Dead nuts on. No deception

I've been considering a vape myself...settled on the arizer solo+a b.willson bubbler. Tried one of those hotbox style vapes like you have with a cheap glass bong at a friends house. Very nice,don't think I'll miss smoking once I get the new rig. Just gotta come up with the funds first....

The sniff test is a common part of selecting younger plants. Your description of differentiating individuals by the vape flavors makes me think it could be a useful tool for finding subtle distinguishing traits at that early age.

Once you walk the path of knowing your body down to the molecules, you proceed knowing that you alone are responsible for its maintenance.....and perhaps longevity. Some, like Chogyam Trungpa, didn't really care....no attachment at all....said he didn't come here to live to be 100 but rather to pass on the teachings. That's the exception. For myself and I believe Mr Pablo, awareness changes everything. No longer just info, no longer just ideas floating around....nope, it's Personal Probablistic Passage.

You can take chances as long as you accept the consequences. Mostly I think we always know in that place inside that is beyond being swayed by denial exactly what we're doing.....we just don't act in our own best defense right away. Sometimes it takes a head cold, sometimes it takes a beating, sometimes it takes a bit of pain. Other times it might just be like flickin' a switch. Chosen, changed, done deal. Voila.

"Goin' Cold Turkey"....strange that it means giving up something without crutches or at least a change that is made right now. I like cold turkey on a good sandwich...hahahaha. Why is it called that?

Could be....

Working the Hold...

Working the Hold...

...getting back into prime indoor conditions (well...look..I'm capable of keeping the studios constant...but it's more expensive)

keeping everything moving along and happy..as well as...being the ruling force I am...making a killing decision



^ That's my #1 selection Red Kali Mist standing proud beside her murdered sister. The sister was culled due to space...logistics...nothing at all wrong with her. Cultivated her...for how many months?

I'll show you...now...the 3 flowering RKM sisters...and let them paint you a better picture...of why...I'm running only 4 instead of 5



One of those is well behaved thus far..the other 2 will be more a challenge. With the entire Prune Juice IX1 run now in the flower studio..logistics comes into play..comfortable spacing comes to a head...4 will be a crowd...but 5 no way.

As soon as...they get decent flower targets (10 more days or so?)..at least one of these will be partially pollinated with Prune Juice pollen. Until then...I'm unable to train them into the trellis I'm going to use. It's going to be a bit trying for a while...but once I can tie them..it will run smooth. nice ass plants.

* the cold spell was harder on these sativa dominants..but they are now back in their temp range..kicking hard into stretch. They grew noticeably since yesterday

Dcong sprouts becoming seedlings. They transitioned over to coco...without much of a hitch



* I kept a separate tray with some of the heavy mutants..and other slower sprouts..kept them in their worm castings perlite. Out of those...yesterday...I selected the ones I liked and transplanted them into beer cups of coco. Messing around with them under T5s...one of them is that cabbage looking sprout...just wanted to see what she'd be. I'll show you in a few days

I picture some addicted...cramping...shaking...cold...sick...turkey skinned sub human

What I enjoy the most...is the ability to enjoy. Following one healthy path leads to other healthy paths....but the same can be said for...following unhealthy paths.

I'll be honest though....I'm against what the world wants me to be. I do not want to be a mark. seeing things more clearly helps with navigation...for sure

I don't know. It's opening up some doors for me...finding stuff in the flavors..that I kind of had a hint of in the smoke..but now through vapor..becomes more distinct

I do know...I'll be vaporizing other herbs with the cannabis. I'm waiting on the spring mugwort plants...went back and looked for some the other day. Vaporizing doesn't strike me as unhealthy

yeah thats how it is with vapeing for sure, you pretty much nailed it... and definitely there are chemical constituents to the smoke that are not present in the vapor... a major of those being benzopyrene the same carcinogen found in cigarette smoke, but in 50% higher quantities in a gram of cannabis than a gram of cigarette tobacco, yet in a 30 year study done by UCLA, funded by NIDA, heavy cannabis smokers (even those reporting 45 + joint years, joint years = joints per day x number of years) had a lower incidence of lung cancer and the same ratio of COPD diagnoses as compared to NON SMOKERS!... To me that proves a lot about the power of cannabinoids.

[YOUTUBEIF]VsDic2na8co[/YOUTUBEIF]

skip straight to 11:30 to go straight to the study I was talking about and ends around 22 minutes

besides that stuff

one major thing many don't do properly though is hold in the hits long enough. the THC doesn't precipitate from the smoke and or vapor... it must be absorbed and depending on the size of the toke, as read in RC Clarke's Hashish, it can take between 20 and 50 seconds and when vaporizing you shouldn't be blowing out ANYTHING... to be most efficient one should take small hits and hold them in until no vapor is exhaled... and this is where an air driven vaporizer/bag system really shines... and I have had several vapes and a few air driven bag type, by FAR the volcano works better, is somehow more effective and is much more efficient than a couple of the cheaper knock off varieties and totally worth the money.

Volcano user here and I love it. The taste, the high...it's an ideal blend of methods

for sure, that and smoking full melt are by far the best!

I've been smoking my joints mixed with mugwort and rolled with active carbon filters. Pretty nice, much nicer than tobacco. Still need a little fine tuning though. A little difficult to roll the round mugwort flowers uncrushed. Leaves too hairy. Problem with volcano type stuff iz you can't smoke one on the street from such a device. And I like smoking outside. I don't want to smoke indoors anymore. Don't want to buy or smoke tobacco. Not much time for smoking herb either. Looking to find good use for the herb in my life. Looking for the healthy paths.

I got Highland Mex x BB in my little box along my BangiT and BangiTGloria. Gonna do some fems. The Highland Mex x BB is very vigorous and nice. Gotta show you some pix :smoke:

One more thing: can't fuckin stand the talk about efficiency with ganja intake. wtf? you don't have enough?
anyway: what I wanna do is a ganja bonfire! pile up some big plants in the garden and get high by dancing around the fire! with friends, chanting and all that.

cheers! and thx for the good talk here. enjoy it as ever.

I've never been concerned about cannabis smoking causing sickness. I've been smoking herb..pretty much..since I was 14. Never was a cigarette smoker though. I've never known anyone to get sick from cannabis smoking.

Probably my throat is roasted...dry climate anyway..sucking air when running..then...all the smoking on top of it. I'm coughing when I run...coughing when I smoke..hacking up shit and spitting through runs...fuck that..I know it's the smoke...but

...but I love to get high. If I haven't stopped liking the highs by now...I don't think I ever will. Therefore...I've made allowances for herb smoking...a man must have his vices etc..bullshit but...no doubt...indulging in high grade homegrown is rock and roll...being high works

Though again...I stood in front of my vaporizer for about 10 minutes of nonstop....chain inhaling Hell Hound vapor...before I headed out onto the trails. I kind of inhale...exhale...inhale...exhale...even when I don't have any vapor in the tube..keep breathing deeply between draws.

Ran 2+ hrs...hard hills and all that...rarely let out a cough...and there was nothing much to hack up. I'm thinking...hey...I'm just a week off smoking herb...and problems are getting solved.

Then I wonder...how much more performance can I get out of this motor? Running on vapor...almost feels like there is a sugar coating protecting the throat and lungs...lol....I swear that's how I was feeling about it. I'm like shit man....the filter is clean...the fuel and spark are there...hit the gas

* I am kind of losing myself in the vegan diet...the juicing...and now the vapor. My weight is down to what it was in my early 20's....not feeling skinny at all...but I'm lean. In deep study of form running...deep study of the energy in the terrain...my present understanding: You must build core foundation 1st. There are no shortcuts. Anyone who says there are...is a fool. When you have built core....the trail opens up
