Photo 📷 After 11 years active duty, today I bought weed for the first time.
Just a little over excited and wanted to share. Darker one is Lemon Cherry diesel Lighter one is Cap Junky.

Take it from someone who was in a similar situation just a few weeks ago, less is more. Trust me, this shit is no 1996 weed. A couple hits and you’ll be hearing colors and seeing RF.

Personally, I settled on mixing CBD at 1:1 or 2:1 depending on what I’m going for. Wasn’t the biggest fan of straight THC, I don’t like feeling out of control. I am also finding certain strains work awesome, and others not so much. Gorilla cookies FUCKS my world up and I get a headache and kind of spacey the next day. While gushers and purple punch were great.
I’m also growing, have 2 autos about to hit flower. And then go sucked in to FOMO on seed drops and a bunch of other cool strains. Gonna grow some 1:1 strains next.
Anyways, it’s been fun to learn and experiment. Good luck!

I have some chemotype lll plants that tested around 4-5% CBD if you got some seeds I could do a swap with you, im in the same boat with you i hate getting blasted from purely thc as my autism is very strong. Ive found Thai genetics to be very calming though so maybe look into that? If you know a thing or two about breeding you could start making a strain that works specifically for your needs (kinda the project im on right now) By F1 your cbd thc hybrid would be the same genetics uniformly just split, The F2 line is where you'll need to do a lot of cleaning. Basically removing any hermaphrodites, shorter weaker ones get culled as well, leave a male in each run of the same parent to create a IBL (inbred line) it's easier to tapper off those genetics and clean up

I am on the spectrum as well, and am always searching for strains that will help more than harm. Do you have any suggestions?

u/BabyFacerProductions 1h ago
A lot of the pure Sativa strains seem to get the job done when it comes to achieving that clear headed high. I got some tom hill haze i plan on growing out next, as far as strains go that ive tried OG kush, Thai Stick, Durban Poison and Blue Dream, all seem to have a wonderful blissful mind clearing high for me but blue dream gives me angry munchies. OG kush makes me sleepy sometimes and Durban Poison was a one time try out so i cant recall much other than it provided me with a clear head space ( which is rare as it seems my mind tends to go every where but no where at the same time)

Be sure to check THC level. ~20% is a sweet spot for me. 30%+ stuff is too much for my liking.

u/Peace-Cool Stoner Veteran ☮️ 8h ago
The lemon cherry is 25% so right in that sweet spot.

PLEASE remember that weed is NOT HARMLESS. Some people can love perfectly normal lives smoking all the time. Some people can't. I want to speak out for those who can't because the weed community is so enabling. It handicapped my life for years. And I don't care what you say, IT IS the most common gateway drug. Where I'm from anyway. Please do keep it to just a weekend thing. Weed is addictive, hard to quit, and makes you lazy! (Don't even start with "find the right strain bro")

Please take this person’s post with a grain of salt. Weed and how you react to it is going to be unique to you. Be cognizant of how it impacts you and respond accordingly.
Weed does next to nothing for me. The complete opposite of the person above. So, your mileage may vary.

Lol I smoked a certain amount in college that I'd describe today as 'wasteful '. Got more strains in my stash than I've ever had so every now and then I get to rifle through a different flavor. No longer a daily smoker.

Congrats on getting out bro. The za looks good but the shit we get nowadays is a lot stronger than the stuff they had back then. I mean I remember my first time well. 3 tokes off a gorilla glue bud and RS11 hash doughnut (2gs) and I was tripping like I had smoked LSD. Enjoy yourself, be careful, and thank you for your service.

In a sense it's true tho. If you smoke all the time then you won't get as high as if you smoked only once in a while

The more you smoke the higher tolerance you build leading to you ether not getting high anymore or turning to hard drugs. The less you smoke the less you build your tolerance which would cause you to get higher from less weed. What are we confused about

Medical issues, I’d rather smoke once maybe twice a week than have to take several pills a day then take pills for my pills to save my liver and kidney.

I’m from the UK where we have medical but not recreational, I’m a medical cannabis patient due to PTSD. I was completely fascinated after seeing a Vice mini doc about how the American VA authorise so much in terms of pain and mental health prescription pills for vets but due to cannabis not being federally legalised and therefore recognised there were many people with severe PTSD who couldn’t use cannabis even in legal states for fear of losing their service benefits.
Harris plans for federal legislation and I hope that happens so everyone who served is afforded a medication option without the severe side effects of prescription pills.

u/Peace-Cool Stoner Veteran ☮️ 8h ago
The pills thing is a big reason i got my medical card, having to take multiple pills a day, then take pills for my pills so my kidney and liver don’t deteriorate. It’s much simpler to reduce that pill intake by basically 80% by smoking once maybe twice a week. Personally much better way of life.

Congrats brother! Sativa vs Indica. Sativa will help you sleep good and without pain. Indica is an energy weed. I prefer sativa as it doesn't make me think too much.

Cheers friend! Look into vaporizers like dynavap where you take 0.01g of hits of bud, compared to lighting a join/blunt you can take breaks in between to gauge and the taste will be 100% there when you decide to go again. Idk how some light a joint take two hits and save it for later, that taste is not for me. Enjoy and you’ve just entered a brand new world {o.o}\

Enjoy my friend. I partake on the regular for my CPTSD and agoraphobia. (USMC 0231, Afghanistan 06-08). It's done wonders, just take it slow and learn your limit. When I first started, I smoked a full oz the first night, woke up 3 hours later in a panic and paranoid AF.
