MM vs The Streets

[Nytefyre]

Alright, anybody out there with a MM script? Is the MM really stronger than the stuff you can get on the streets? I can do all the reading I want, but it's not the same thing as a taste test, you know? I'm talking about dank buds from *friends* vs. a script. Any major difference? I am so in the wrong state! Not really talking about strain-wise. I guess, potency or effectiveness.

I have access to the same strength as I did on the street, however the prices are what make the difference. I was paying the same price for generic mediocre cannabis as i am currently paying for the really good stuff.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

You can buy street weed in a dispensary, and in fact, that's all most of them sell. If you want a "MEDICAL" strain - I recommend you go to a reputable dispensary that specializes in Patients. You should expect to be able to talk with people knowlegable about the plant and the chemicals inside the plant. I said 'yes yes yes' at the top primarily because for medical purposes, you want certain strains. In certain areas within CA or CO, you might find them on the street - but generally you won't.

If you're looking for some kind of relief for a Crohn's flare up, I recommend smoking an extract instead of the plant itself. It's generally less harsh and you only need one or two puffs in an hour. A $50 purchase would last a non-regular-cannabis user - patient - a week (best guess).

I hope this helps.... Navigating the world of cannabis is difficult today.

Most of what I buy from my dispensary are edibles. I find they last much longer than smoking.

Using a vaporizer is good, even with substandard weed....you can get good results with no smoke. I am currently eating my own homemade marijuana butter, just a teaspoon undisguised with chocolate or other ingredients. It was made with crappy leaf (from a good strain "Hawaiian Snow") but is more potent than a lot of expensive manicured buds out there.

There is no such thing as even semi-legal MM where I live, unfortunately :thumbdown:

I have the vapor genie. For me, it works better with regs than with midgrade or dank(good bud). As for being good for a quick smoke, I disagree. You have to break the bud down pretty fine. If you have a grinder, that may work. I found, though, that using a grinder on dank bud is pretty much worthless (although I could just have a cheap grinder). Anyway, after having the pipe for almost a year now, I can't remember the last time I used it. Though, it does make even the most regular of weed taste sooo yummy

This is good info to know, vonfunk.

Can someone, i.e. me, go into a dispensary in another state, stock up, then come home? I know trying to get back from Canada is a no-no!

Free Marc Emery! Hahaha:ylol2: but seriously...

Yeah, vapes are time consuming and bulky. I have to meticulously clean my grinder after each use too, as it could lead to jail time, as an "implement"....which is a massive pain in the arse.
I also have to be careful to destroy any seeds that I come across because in my State, the cops have the choice to consider every seed to be legally just the same as a fully grown plant, which could lead to some serious jail-time!!!

One thing though I would like to mention, is water pipes/bongs are dangerous to your health if used regularly.....they are to be avoided in my opinion. Using them often can lead to water on the lungs (it has happened to some older acquaintances of mine and led to hospitalization), and they don't remove harmful 'tars' anyway. You are better off using dry pipes, spliffs etc.

Another thing about marijuana and lungs is that some cannabinoids have strong anti carcinogenic and other protective effects that can actually help your lungs stay healthy, as long as you're not burning the crap out of them, of course.

Well it can be about the same ..... But here in cali I can get 4 grams of high quality MM for $20 at the club as where on the streets that would cost me $50 - $60. I also live in some of the best growing lands in the country "Humboldt, Medocino county's" so the price's might change in other area's
