WEED, The Official Thread

[Sylvan]

It’s like anything else. Do your research and use in moderation. And if someone stands to gain financially/politically, it’s the wrong research.
Looking forward to more avail reading as well, once the US Fed Govt finally steps aside next term.

I'd be monitoring and burping those at least twice a day if it's as high as 72%. That's just a touch outside of my comfort zone.

Those were 1st day numbers after being in containers after feeling crispy on the hangers


I'm sitting at mid 60s rH today
Right now the environmental rH is 28% and little nugs are dry enough to smoke for good flavor in 5-10 minutes

People on this very forum have reported physical withdrawal symptoms. It takes really heavy use but it definitely happens.

We need to dispense with whole idea of natural drugs being inherently safer (naturalistic fallacy). Cocaine is natural, cyanide is natural.



No, this one is from a couple of months ago. The guest is a bona fide cannabis researcher from Canada who was on the show because he challenged Huberman on SM about many of the facts presented in his original cannabis episode.

The problem with small cohorts and G13 weed is that at the end of the day your results having to do with a specific cultivar grown in specific conditions can be extrapolated only so far. Weed is also a moving target, as a lot of selection has gone on since whoever decided what a representative sample should be.

now that the weed is so widely available, whats stopping anybody from doing the research? i get that federally funded institutions could face a loss of funding, but doesn't that still leaves everyone else free to study the effects?

[riser4]

Fill up a warehouse and I'll study it for you.

^^^What qualifications do you have that will give your research credibility? Attending 100 Dead shows does not count.

I study the effects every day.

What non- federally funded institutions have the credibility and resources to do this research?

[Buzzworthy]

Riser has become useless here and m series jong clearly does not understand anything about IRB research.

Personally I’m looking forward to reclassification as my daughter is lined up for a study on epilepsy and THC at the UofU as soon as they get the go ahead. They are lined up ready to go with IRB approval.
She currently on a project injecting mice with an astronomical amount of CBD. I’m very interested to read this study as well.

Who said I was qualified to design the study? I just want to smoke a warehouse of someone else's weed.

They'll get to it, one of these days.

That is not how it works, at all.

educate my ignorant ass, i am not a real researcher... unless "google" is a synonym of "research".

[Dantheman]

The restrictions on studies with Schedule I drugs are not limited to federal agencies or federal funds. It's just as hard for a private institution using entirely private funding.

Cool. I'll have to give it a listen.

And yeah, primarily it is funding for class 1. Previously the only studies allowed on weed were from government grown weed.

Ever since 19whatever yr when they targeted Mexicans smoking the evil weed and the paper industry killed hemp as an adder, it's been a shitshow. Classic politics

delta 8 synthetically derived THC? seems unnatural

[natebob]

I think these need a bit more time. Still some white pistils, but the trichomes look milky, so I think they are close, but I'm no pro at looking at trichomes. I don't see any amber. First pic is PPD, second is Squirt. I've been flushing for 2 weeks, maybe started that a bit too early. I also think both strains may have had mostly brown pistils a couple weeks ago, but have put out new white ones. What do you guys think?

[TBS]

PPD = Purple Panty Dropper?
Are these outdoor or indoor?
I’d give the first pic another couple of days.
The plant in second pic needs time for the pistils to go brown - unless you are outdoors and have a cold snap in the forecast

The molecule is the same whether it was synthesized by a plant or a person in a lab.

Thanks for the advice. Yep, Purple Panty Dropper. These are outdoor. It's gotten down to 31 degrees, 32 a couple nights recently. I've been covering them at night, trying to get another few days of ripening.

[TBS]

I love PPD - some dank indica.
Problem is I can’t find clones around here and germinating seeds usually results in either too many or too few viable starts.

With the cold you should be seeing some great purples in the buds

My general rule of thumb - harvesting early might reduce potency a tiny amount. Harvesting late (after they freeze) means you lose a huge portion of the crop.

[natebob]

Questions about white powdery mildew. From what I've read, it's bad to smoke bud with wpm. Is there any way to get rid of it on buds right before harvest? If there is wpm on some of the plant, is it safe to assume it's present on the whole plant? Can some buds be harvested if on a plant with wpm as long as those buds don't show any of it? Hope I didn't just let my whole crop get ruined.

[Buzzworthy]

Interestingly enough we pulled a lot of plants for Wholesome last week that had white powder on them and it went in the freezer with all the other bud for carts and gummies. There was zero instruction to set any of those plants aside.

[natebob]

Buzz, that is interesting. I found these articles that advise against smoking wpm, and saw one that advised not using bud with wpm for edibles. For edibles it seems like it was more of a quality issue than a health issue. I may try some of the suggestions to get rid of it on bud, but sure don't like the idea of smoking it.

I think mold is a portion of any common Marijuana test.
Hope it shows up and gets rejected before people injested

[Buzzworthy]

Welcome to our wonderful “medical cannabis” grows of Utah. At least for this particular grower. I couldn’t believe what I saw. This was not going to a flower jar, just edibles and carts. Yes I do hope state tests do their job.
