Dare I speak such blasphemous words... but smoking is a hassle,and quite the inconvenience to keep incognito, and becoming a waste of time, IMO. The bud doesnt truly get the respect it deserves if it just goes up in smoke, and without passing through my body first in a more effective manner.
I could/can smoke nonstop the best bud there is known to man, and all day long with no positive effects, and Im just tired all day long. I dont get anything accomplished and become a lazy stereotypical stoner, and thats no good for anyone, imo.
My tolerances had become quite high, which eventually it becomes a problem, and a lot of bud/money gets wasted because of it. An oz or two of green dragon brew will last a month or more, and tremendously reduce the amount of buds consumed, which save you a shitload of money, bottom line.
I have made the dragon out of the buds the last couple times, and if I take it with tea when I get up, about 6 am, I dont start thinking about meds til the afternoon. I was personally up to two full eyedroppers in my morning brew.
Its multiple times more effective than smoking or vaping; not to mention a far healthier method of ingestion.
I recently took a break from all vaping, smoking, and the tinctures to clean my system out; and my body didnt actually start to miss anything until 4 days into that detox! Then it finally said "hey, why the hell isnt there any bud going into my system?" and I finally started feeling the effects of the lack of bud thereof, then the cravings began.
This says how strong and long lasting the dragon's effects actually stayed in my system!
Smoking only lasts an hour and a half or less for my chronic pain, but the dragon is my preferred method because you can take the little eyedropper bottle with you anywhere (except planes) and you dont have to worry about having any stink on your breathe, hands or clothes, and no smoke trails at all.
I do not take the dragon in the evening though because it wires you so hard, and for so long. You will experience tremendous amounts of energy, and it is the working mans best friend, IMO.
I vape after dinner, then an hour or two before bedtime I eat a cannabutter cookie or two and avoid most wakeups of pain throughout the night.
I usually make cannabutter with the trim, but I have enough of that in the freezer, and my trimmings are just waiting for me to put them to use somehow.
But, what amount of quality trim would be the equivalancy of an 1/8th of the actual buds? It has to be more than the actual bud recipe calls for. I was thinking perhaps two,three, or four times the amount for starters, but it might be more... IDK.
Any pros out there with some experience in such a matter?
