Weed Mileage

Hey Guys,

I'm a new member however I live in Ireland. Ireland doesn't really have a cannabis culture it's more of a drinking culture so the number of young people smoking isn't very high unlike Canada or California. So that means supply is limited, which any of the economists here will tell you means a high price. A quarter ounce of reasonable weed costs anywhere from €50-80 ($75-100). As such I got get the most out of my weed. I add about three parts tobacco to every joint as it is. I'm looking for any tips you guys can give me. Would cooking increase the efficiency?

Thanks,
-Dev

PS: I can't grow myself, flat-mates said no.

Hmm, that sucks man

We usually toss a whole ounce in a batch of brownies..I'm not sure how much you need to weed tea ( I haven't even tried it)

I'm not a fan of spliffs but I could see how it would prolong your weed supply, but I have tried smoking it out of the hooka with a mixture of sheesha and pot, it was pretty intense.

I'd say just buy a small pipe (about a gram sized bowl on it) and that will ration out your weed a little better.

wow steep prices .. buy some seeds or grow some bag seeds .. Then you'll have your own supply ... Cheers

bowls def are the easiest way of conserving weed.

Is that because there is less "wandering smoke" while your not inhaling. Like in this icon.

Also is there any particular way I should grind or store in order to preserve the THC. A few people have told me not to use a grinder, but rather use my fingers. However some of the weed I get is like a rock.

100$ per quarter is the price in Chicago

yeah use a bong and go sit in your bathroom with the door closed so you inhale a grip of smoke and waste little.

A bong or pipe is definitely the way to go if weed is expensive. naturally you are wasting if the herb is constantly burning.

If its as hard as a rock and you have no choice I'd use scissors, to cut it up a little but and maybe fluff it up a little bit with your fingers.
As for preserving THC... Shoudlnt be necessary. How much weed do you usually have and how long until its gone?

The only reason why some harbor misgivings with the grinder is because on a typical grinder, there are the 3 layers, the first with the spikes to grind, the mid where everything falls into through the holes, and the last is a metal screen that collects the keef. (which contains more concentrated THC)

So if you break it up with your fingers your getting the whole package, with a grinder you may lose less potency because the keef is being filtered, but its not that noticeable.

If your conserving, I'd say just use your fingers.

i would just drink if i were u!

I like my grinder because its got the keif catcher. and I always still get high from my grinded weed and I still am able to make a nice size keif ball later on once the bag has run out.

I'm afraid I can't. I would love to try but as mentioned in my first post flat-mates said no.

I usually get a quarter and it lasts a few days. However I try to limit myself to a quarter a week. Okay, I will try and get myself a pipe.

It helps knowing Ireland isn't the only place thats so expensive. Then again everything here is expensive, a pack of 20 fags is at least $10.
