Duh. And on that note, if there are any marijuana entrepreneurs reading this, I'd like to share a product idea with you.

"Session pot" - tastes amazing like this 30% stuff that the kids are breeding these days but with only 3-5% THC so it won't kill me like this 30% stuff that the kids are breeding these days. You're welcome.

edit: the "high CBD" idea is one that I'll look into and thanks all, but for those of us who live outside one of the legal states our options and information about those options are rather more limited.

Prefilled vape cartridges, especially the ones that are more diluted, are almost exactly "session pot". Each hit is a tiny microdose that even a novice could handle a few of.

How is that different than a high CBD strain?

I was never serious about it enough to know what you're talking about. I just used to _really_ enjoy smoking, but am too busy these days to partake, largely because of how strong everything is now.

Look for a CBD strain it's what you're looking for :)

Most people don't like it because it doesn't get them "high" but it gets you feeling good.

Everything was really strong in the past. It's just important that you can choose your strain.

high-CBD is very couchlock-y.

I'd like to have a "sipping cannabis", too. Maybe music sounds 25% better but I can move around..

Something that will relax, but not prevent from taking Grandma to the hospital on an emergency notice.

/s/grandma/toddler, but yes, exactly.

Build a tolerance, then you'll have plenty of sipping weed!

I don't see how you aren't describing the experience of using a volcano vape. Fwiwi, I went to a pop-up restaurant last week where the pairings were all via strain.

Maybe when prices drop it will become more like cigar smoking. Despite the health risks I prefer smoking over vaping because I love the act of smoking. I think it would be entirely satisfying to smoke weed like a cigar, but I try not to waste the smoke because it's still expensive.

I got to try a weed cigar rolled in a palm leaf. Although it was more potent than my body knew what to with, the act of smoking it was as satisfying as you'd imagine.

I prefer something like Jillybean. The more uplifting the better. THC: 15% - 18%, CBD: 1%

I met a guy on a chairlift in Washington a few years ago that was planning on doing this. He said they were making basically a joint where you can smoke the whole thing and just be comfortably buzzed.

> comfortably buzzed

comfortably numb

FTFY

ahh why don't you just take a smaller dose of higher concentration. Same result less cancer...

If we're taking the beer analogy then I see a difference. My neighbor likes to drink Bud all day (likes the action of drinking). I'd rather have a few IPAs or craft beers (likes the taste). Different people, different preferences.

But if we're talking the big alcohol companies joining the race, I'm sure they will do this and provide a wide variety of products.

"My neighbor likes to drink Bud all day (likes drinking)."

Anheuser-Busch already has the slogans they can rehash for weed if they decide to enter the market. Grab some buds, this buds for you, waz-up.

Will anyone really want herb in a decade though? Vaporizing extracts is just far better than vaporizing herb, nobody wants that chlorophyll and what have you.

The terpenes are the best part.

Not sure if we disagree, but that's specifically where the extracts (will) excel, herb contains a bunch of undesirable stuff that you'd rather not be inhaling. Extracts (will) contain only the terpenes you want.

Yea but good flower is just so beautiful and smells great (or horrible depending on if you like MJ). I don't think it will ever go away. I recently moved to a legal state and it is nice having access to extracts, but herb seems to always be more cost efficient and usually tastes better.

>herb seems to always be more cost efficient and usually tastes better

This is the case right now, but unless you’re buying poorly trimmed bulk outdoor stuff the extracts will inevitably get cheaper. You can get perfectly good THC and CBD from terrible weed and reintroduce a carefully designed blend of terpenes for the best possible flavor.

Eventually the cutting agents will get better too, delivering much nicer experiences for those that don’t want to puff on 70%+ THC extracts.
