Ok, so I just bought cartridges off Facebook. I'm not sure where they are shipping from, but I thought weed in the mail was still a no go because the USPS is fed?

If it's coming from Oregon and staying in Oregon, is that cool now? Again, the label isn't in the system yet, so not sure where they are coming from, though. But I could use my credit card rewards points for them, so that was cool. :rofl:

It seems they are coming from Florida which makes things seem even weirder.

USPS strictly adheres to federal regulations and mailing cannabis through their services is illegal. However, by exploring alternatives such as local pickup and delivery services, licensed cannabis couriers, trade shows, and digital platforms, you can still engage in legal activities within the cannabis industry.
So how is this even possible?

I'll believe when I see it.

Once the DEA formally makes its announcement, the marijuana industry will see immediate benefit. But with the DEA’s proposed rule change comes a public review period that could lead to a challenge, and perhaps even a change, to the rescheduling proposal.

Holy shit, I feel today years old. I have been blissfully unaware of THC-A until yesterday. You can sell and ship that shit anywhere because it's flavored hemp oil. :rofl:

I had heard the term "delta-8", but honestly had no idea until now what it was or what it failed to do. I got a full refund and didn't even bother opening the package.

I have been to one of our local dope shops once. The variety of their wares were confusing. Got some THC + CBD oil, but the under the tongue shit was annoying. Banana bread from mi amigo is easier to ingest and more potent.

Well that was not fun.

Sat down in the backyard under the trees to enjoy an afternoon with the wife.
She picked me up a couple pre-rolls for my birthday and I decided to partake yesterday. It had been about 3 or 4 days since I finished my last THC /CBD balanced cartridge and had been out of weed for a week. My normal is Greasy Pink, Ghost Bubba or Blue Coma, all come in between 28-34% THC and 2-3.5% CBD.

The pre-roll was 1/2 gram Dead Hot Strawberry, fully government sealed. 29% THC and 0.6% CBD. I have had this before several times.

Finished it and was fine, nice buzz.
About a half hour later, all of a sudden I started getting severe rushes and huge anxiety. Started sweating like a beast, then the shakes on top. Then the fun really started. Vomiting and lots of it. Ended up laying on a beach towel under the tree or about 4 hours before I could move without vomiting. After about 6 hours, I was able to eat and drink lightly and keep it down. Almost felt like a bad hangover without the massive headache. Slept, but not great. Today I feel like I got hit by the proverbial bus. I can eat and drink, but I'm shaky as fuck.
I have never felt or experienced anything like this in 40 years of use. I am not interested in a repeat visit, so I'm thinking I'm done. Kinda scared about that because it does help greatly with my PCS symptoms (Post Concussion Syndrome)

I'm thinking a touch of CHS (Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome )

Anybody ever experience similar? Thoughts?

Could your weed have been sprayed with an extract. ? I’ve seen some sketchy looking bud sold as Hemp THCA flower that looks like it was coated with something not naturally occurring.

couple questions here:

were you the only one to partake?

did your wife also get sick?

could you have eaten something that didn't agree with your stomach as well?

i'm assuming this was acquired from a dispensary - may want to mention it to them in case this has happened to others.

Yeah, I was wondering where the pre-rolls came from. Convenience store bud can be questionable.

Some answers.

Just me.
We ate the same brunch and the same dinner the night before.
Not infused.
Not convenience store, but government sealed weed from a licensed dispensary.
Several days later, still not 100 percent - the bus that hit me has been reduced to a small compact car.
Spoke to a relative who I found out was hospitalized twice with CHS a few years ago before it was widely known and from what she says the symptoms seem to line up including relief from hot baths. Apparently it can take up to 10 days for symptoms to resolve.

While not definitive by any stretch of the imagination, that it is enough correlation to imply causation for me. From what I understand, it it was a touch of CHS, then any exposure could cause another incident, which I am not too keen on experiencing again.

Scared?
Why yes, yes I am.

Thanks guys.

wasn't trying to discredit what you went through, just trying to identify / rule out potential unrelated factors.

They are saying an ounce is $199. In town they have a sign that says an ounce is $50, so I think that article was buying in a posh shop in Lake Oswego or something.

Chinese organized crime, crazy.


They removed 80 pounds of weed from the pricey two-story home in Antioch, California. With curious neighbors looking on, they repeated the spectacle twice more on the same block that morning in late April. The raids filled a dump truck with about $1 million worth of illicit weed cultivated by unlicensed growers. Although cars were parked in the driveways, no people were found in any of the homes and no arrests were made.
I've never bought in California, but the black market in Oregon is pretty dead from what I understand. Shortly after legalization, I got a call from the dude I used to buy from. He still wanted $75 a quarter for whatever strain he might have. I told him I could do way better in the store and haven't heard from him since.

But I did hear a buddy from high school still has his business in California, so either the legal weed isn't worth it or folks are just in a habitat of calling him. :rofl:

I have been here long enough to remember when the mods didn't want a pot thread..

I am guessing I will never smoke it again, can't say I really did much in my whole life.

But what I will say, it is time to fully legalize it, so much pointless jail time over a stupid plant.

I did daily all through high school, then quit 6 months before boot camp. I didn't think I would ever smoke again until my dad passed in '10. I was nearly 300 pounds and was on 5 different meds for depression and anxiety. After talking with TN, I decided to get my OMMP card. I was off all the meds, was totally productive at work, and dropped 90 pounds in 7 months.

I know which strains work the best and I'm not super high, but I carry a moderate buzz through the day. Keeps my head quiet and leaves me the ability to focus. My primary care wished he could do a study but said the hospital would never because of federal funding. He was pretty blown away but also said he wasn't totally surprised by the results.
