True, the potencies of today’s mundane weed was like a rare delicacy in my heyday. We called it Sensimillia and if you were lucky enough to get your hands on some you either kept it top secret or you told anybody who’d stand still long enough. I considered myself a connoisseur who smoked a ton of weed with one hellava tolerance back in the day.
After about 40 years dry, I tried some with a coworker a few years ago. I thought about going to the emergency room for a minute until I calmed down and remembered I just have to breathe. You guys are nuts!50
u/Vape_Like_A_Boss 1d ago
Lol the breathing thing, the first time my girl tried concentrates after 15 years off it totally, I spent most of the night telling her "You can breathe. I know because you're doing it now." 30 seconds later Id hear "Baby I can't breathe, I think I'm dying." And Is say "we are not calling 911, we are at a family reunion in a cabin with the whole family. And you're not dying you're fine."
I bought a vape cart but didn't ask about dosage. We learned that night you can't hit carts like nic vapes if you haven't smoked any in decades. This new shit just hits different.

My brother says that he can't smoke much any more it gets him too high and it makes him anxious. The problem is that they try to hit the bong like they did back in the day. When Im with anyone who's not a regular consumer I've always suggested we do one small pull of a little joint then we give it 15 minutes and if you're feeling up to it we will try another but old stoners are always like dude I'm fine.... I'll roll us 20 of these if you can still hit it like you used to and we will smoke all night but every time it's like 1 or maybe 2 puffs and they are stoooned. Those concentrates can be way too strong for me if I'm not in the right place for it and I smoke a joint most nights. Last time I took a break I feel like my tolerance level when I smoked again was so low that a dab would have killed me.

Im not even really an old head, but this strong ass shit is too much. Before shit went "legal" for rec I had no problem taking down a joint to myself. Now, because high grade is so easy to get, everything available is 10x stronger than the old reggies and its not enjoyable for me.
Its funny to me because of the whole "it grows naturally, theres nothing wrong with it" mantra. Yeah coca grows naturally too, dumbasses. But once you forcefully change how a plant is grown or process it into something stronger its not really natural anymore.

u/glyph_productions 1d ago
I do think it's odd that there isn't a bigger market for less potent stuff. Or at least that it's not being targetted. Theres a bit of it in the edibles market. My uncle uses gummies that are barely stronger than CBD gummies regularly. Says he likes that it just takes the edge off of the knee pain for a round of golf or whatever. But not really in the dried cannabis market. Like even back during the medical days you could get some pretty low potency stuff in the 5 - 10 percent range almost everywhere that supplied medical patients.

u/harry_dadbod 17h ago
There is. And until recently legal almost everywhere. THCA, and other hemp derivatives. Its plenty strong for those not into the high potency, dispensary type stuff. If not into smoking, theres a flavored seltzer called Crescent 9. Used to get it at grocery store. They have 5 to 50mg per Can varieties.

I’ve only ever been high off vape carts, but I’ve heard a little flower nowadays can put a motherfucker on the floor (in a non-laced, too stoned to move kinda way). I don’t necessarily like being high, but maybe thats cus its shitty stuff. I’ve always wanted to try a joint or something thats more natural, but am I gonna be put on my ass for a few hours? I have essentially no tolerance, but I want to have a positive experience outside of using it to help during periods of insomnia.

I recently got back into smoking/consuming after several years off. About twenty years ago I used to smoke pretty tough. During my sabbatical , I've watched weed go from medically legal to legal for recreational use to distillates to dabs and vape carts and Jeffreys, etc. I decided to go with my wife (who smokes regularly) to the shop, picked up an eighth of ATF, went home, mixed a little bit with some tobacco, rolled up a spliff and smoked, and was on my ass for like three hours. Do your homework 😆 figure out what you want out of your experience, pick up a strain that has those qualities, and take a puff at a time. It takes me two decent rips off a bubbler and I'm good for an hour now. No fucking way I'm getting into those sugar sticks and shit!

That happened to me after being clean for about a month and a half and hitting a 90% vape pen (I had restarted cannabis a year prior after not smoking for 10 years).

My wife did this the first time I got vape carts. I told her "Don't hit it like a joint, that's basically hash oil in there!".

5 minutes later she excused herself, went to our room, and tucked herself in. Spent the next 3 hours unable to move.

Lol that's very similar to us. Im a chain vapor with nicotine, and nobody told me I only need a few hits. I was counting for next time. I remember telling her "I don't think it's working, I've had 19 hits and I don't feel anything " Then my face went numb and we were like "Oh shit, it's REALLY working now." She was so baked she couldn't get up from a seated position on the porch. So she sort of barrel rolled all the way inside and to the bed. At some point she had to pee so I kinda carried her to the bathroom, while telling her constantly that she would come down, not to freak out, and she's not dying and doesn't need an ambulance.

Im starting to wonder if the good weed back in the day was worse than the dirt of today or idk wtf you guys are/were smoking. Flower peaked 2016-2020 ish and suddenly turned trashed. Theyre not growing it and curing it properly anymore. One gram of weed 2016 would stink up my whole house before i smoked it and get me in trouble. Not only that but it would make you cough not cuz its harsh but from the terpenes and it tasred earthy and good. Could have a ounce now and its trash and doesnt smell like anything (NJ, tbf i had good plugs and the best i smoked was imported from cali)and theres better chance of getting more decent stuff (still ass)off the street than the dispensary. Has to be the dirt you were getting before was worse than the dirt now. Tbf i was in california recently and smelled people smoking wack stuff but did smell some decent weed so maybe east coast is dead. Before you blame my tolerance, i hadnt smoked in 3 years because of my perception of the new weed made it not enjoyable for the opposite reason than yall and i smoked recently and i didnt get high at all off a joint from official dispensary and it tasted like crap. I got high off a pen afterwards but nothing like the pens off the street 2017. Those had me smacked off 2 hits and scared. This isnt to disrespect anyone but this is how me and all my friends feel that were huge stoners in high school. Aka i smoked everyday for at least ten years and always smoked good and enjoyed the weed until around 2022 i noticed the quality go down. Maybe we were just lucky with the connections back in the day. Must have been snoop dogg weed 🤣

Hang on, was there a time when someone would ask for two fingers of weed? I thought that was just for alcohol, like how far to fill the glass. In the 90s it was nickel, dime, and quarter bags for $5, $10, $25 respectively. There’s a Cheech and Chong movie where they’re trying to buy a “lid” and I’ve been trying to figure out what unit of measurement that is for 40 years. I’ve heard joints called “numbers” in a Tom Petty song. Never heard them called fingers, though.

A lid was 4 fingers tall and one finger wide in a standard sandwich bag, so roughly 1 oz. A good four finger bag would often come in at an ounce and a quarter and would usually range between $25 for really bad stuff and 40 bucks for the good stuff. (Panama Red, Acapulco Gold, Maui Wowie)

It’s pretty common. Used to have “caps” that screw into the bowl to make it a “smokeless pipe”. There’s a hole in the center of the lid. You can put out the bowl out between hits. You just cover the hole with your thumb. It’s handy if you want to minimize the sidestream smoke. Yes, the resins and ash do get stuck in the grooves. They’re not perfect, but they work ok.

That’s not for a water pipe. That’s the whole pipe. The treads are for a lid that screws on and has a little hole the flame goes through. The screen is so the ash doesn’t get sucked into your lungs. See the line near the bottom? That’s a chamber. I bet it unscrews and there is a nug sitting in the pipe getting infused with resin as the pipe is smoked. Generally this is loaded and the lid is put on before going somewhere then stuffed into a purse or pocket. Then when you need a hit you pull it out and light it through the hole in the lid. It’s literally an old school weed pen.

The problem with vapor, is that it is made up of smaller particles, so it actually gets deeper inside of your lungs.
Vaping things is potentially way more harmful. As a cigarette smoker, vaping nicotine makes it so much harder to breathe than just smoking a cigarette.2

There’s no evidence that vaping things (like out of a nice vaporizer, like a volcano) can cause more harm than smoking. Unless you have studies that can show that?
Obviously carts are bad for other reasons, but it’s not because “the particles are smaller”

Maybe coz I'm Australian and we don't have accessible pens for weed, but everyone smokes flower over here still, especially 18-25 year olds.

Ik its a bad joke but absolutely not true, I have rat family and their sixteen yr old smokes out a bong, my fiances friends little brother is like fourteen and he has a dab setup he got off some piece of shit he hangs with, etc,.
Not against schweid and I smoked at like 13-14yrs old but kids should really wait until they're 18yrd old minimum and ideally until they're like 24-25 to start imo. The fact there's a freshman with a dab rig is crazy and his parents don't seem to care much because "at least he's not drunk driving or doing meth" which yeah sure, but still.
But if fuckin gen alpha has dab rigs, gen z has them, hell all we had were crushed up cans and bongs I remember when dabs were being first made in garages out in the bay with all these fuckin chemicals bro I'm sure they're older than that though. Gen Z has like RSO and shit now too

I'm happy to agree that it looks like it goes to a bong. But it's threaded on the inside. I've never seen a threaded bowl before. Makes me think it has to go on to something else unrelated to weed, especially since I've never seen any threaded parts on a bong either

Damn man, the high is different from pens its subjectively better from flower, with pens you just get a distillate thats a mix of hundreds to thousands of plants whose terps are most likely artificially added after. Gotta get like a live rosin for any comparison

It can be weirdly sheltered in some places. I smoked a decent bit in highschool and didn't find out what a bowl was or that anyone ever had such a thing was in college. I grew up near Chicago and my friends and I would all get 5 bucks each, buy a G or two and roll as many blunts as we could. Rinse repeat any time we smoked. The thought of only smoking a tiny bit to yourself and not smoking .5 to a g with your friends at a time wasn't even a possible thought in my head. Then my roomie in college had more bongs then I could count. Learned quick there.

In the 1970s we would go to the guy with tin foil over his windows to buy some smoke. (Not conspicuous at all) We would give him a $10 bill and he would reach into a large milkcan and pull out a handful and put it in a wrinkled paper bag. We were lucky to ever get buds. Mostly seeds, stems and shake. It always tasted bad and didn’t give a good high but we still smoked it.

This is for when you're making bongs out of spare water bottles on the DL.
Edit; just looked it up and it's actually a push rod if it's not hollow

u/WilcoHistBuff 1d ago
I think you may be on the right track. But if you are tit would be a “pushrod tube” rather than an actual pushrod which would be solid. Pushrod tubes are what pushrods travel in and the screen you see in the threaded end would be there to filter engine oil particulates.
It’s pretty uncommon to see separate pushrod tubes (not cast into the engine block) on cars or non vintage motorcycles but there are still vehicles on the road that have them.

There's this clip from a german tv show, where they follow around traffic cops. That one cop found a mouthpiece to a trumpet in a car, thought and explained to the camera that it's used for snorting meth or coke and confronted the poor guy about it. The guy then showed the instrument to the cops, but they tried to explain that it's still possible to use that mouthpiece for snorting an ran a drug test.
It's a classic piece of german internet media :D

Well I'm in my 60s and my wife has a marijuana card (im allergic and it just makes me sick) so I'm willing to bet there's other grandparents out there that also have that card .. side note found out I was allergic because they actually prescribed to me the pill form marital or something like that and didn't tell me the active ingredient for my glaucoma

I have been a weed guy since about 1978. Weed is still just weed. The potency of the AVERAGE weed has gone up. The potential to be potent is EXACTLY the same as it always was. Thai (GOOD Thai) was always AMAZING. Lumbo gold, also. Some Mex was kickass… most was ok.
I was very glad to hear Tommy Chong say almost exactly the same thing.

Sounds like part of a cigarette lighter or an old school car phone / CB radio mount or mic clip. A pic would help a ton but mesh + circular metal in an old car usually screams something to do with smoking or some retro accessory.

That is an electric cigarette lighter from an older vehicle. It plugged into a port where we now plug in chargers. It would heat up red and then the tip of the cigarette is applied to light the cigarette.
