RE: Critical Mass At 10% THC, Is There Value?
Hi @jonyoudyer!
That’s exactly why having strains with lower THC percentages are valuable. Not everyone’s body can handle high % amounts of THC. Literally.
Your hormones, your open receptor availability and your genetics dictate how your body will react to cannabis once it’s been ingested.
With the correct mix of terpenes (dare I say this) you don’t need THC or CBD to feel happy and balanced.
Canada is starting to test for genetics...3 genes specifically and this is done with a cheek swab.
(I went to a conference in the Spring and was tested. I was happy to learn that I only have a 50% chance of becoming mentally deranged (read: enlightened) as a result of my genetic mash-up and my daily use of the herb. Lolz!)
I also learned that Asian genetics handle THC differently than European genetics.
(An interesting topic worth further research.)
I haven’t tested Steem OG or @bluntsmasha ‘s strains yet... I will be sure to let you know what it tests at.
Have you had it tested before?
(If I had to guess, I’d say 14-16% THC.)
You know something that really grinds my gears, is when i tell someone, "last night i had a 100mg edible anf i was so stoned!", then they reply"pfft! Your so weak, i eat 500mg", like for real? Get out of my face, everyone is different.
I have not had it tested. Its jist to expensive for me to do so.8
Exactly! It’s in the genetics and in the ingestion method ...that’s partly why it’s so difficult for Doctors to prescribe.
I would be blasted too if I ate 100 mg dose at once.
I am picking and choosing what I test, for that reason also.
I want to ingest but haven't had results that make me want to continue. So I vape but if i understand correctly the best way to receive the medicine is by ingesting. I really know so little about the stuff other than life is way better smoking it LOL. What a good thread. So much valuable info! What should I look for in terpenes to find the good stuff haha 💚🌱💚
Hi @yogajill,
Cool!
It’s so exhilarating to me to help folks unlock the power of plant medicine for themselves.
I started responding to your question and thought that it’s such a good one, that it’s worth writing a post specifically on the how tos and the whys of it all. Great question! Thanks for asking it!
Ooo! I don't want to miss that post ❤
