Also you have a cat and need to lock down your balcony like Fort Knox.

      Seriously, I just started with a VMax Pro after 12 years combusting weed, using a water bong most of the time.

      Not only does weed last longer vaping, it has a better taste and you don’t get intoxicated with the CO2.

      Don’t get me wrong, I love a blunt or bong, especially with friends around, but daily burning weed is hard on yourself.

        Amen. And I just found out it only takes 225 degrees and 45 minutes to activate the THC in weed.

        My tinctures have never tasted better.

    Just curious. Does your condition affect your ability to metabolize edibles?

        Do you mean that the GI issues prevent you from feeling the effects from edibles?

          I don’t think it absorbs well in my gut, but idk, all I do know it that 500mg does nothing but make me sleepy

            As a Crohn’s sufferer. Yup… Edibles, Iron, Magnesium, B12, and a host of other stuff, just will not absorb through the GI tract.

            But fat, sugar, and salt? No problemo!

            Grumble, grumble, fuck this disease, grumble.

            I’m not questioning your experience but I’ve been using most of my life, have Crohn’s (actually in remission because my guts have been heavily edited and I have an ostomy), and I’ve always been a total lightweight when it comes to edibles.

            I think there’s some other physiological difference that determines this but I’m not an expert.

            Apologies, stream of consciousness took over.

            Buy the shit you need first, then follow the steps in the order outlined, you won’t be disappointed.

    Although weed might help (though hiighly questionable), tobacco for sure fucks your intestines/stomach up. Dont do it.

      Interestingly there have been some studies (I seem to remember one in particular back from 1999) that show nicotine having a positive effect on Ulcerative Colitis. Opposite seems to be true for Crohn’s though.

      Although every piece of medical advice I’ve ever heard is to avoid smoking at all, especially tobacco. Dry herb vaping is OK though.

      Oh yeah man, that’s also my experience. Luckily, tobacco makes me puke immediatly, so that ship has sailed.
