Re: Fives Tips To Conserve Cannabis In Slow Economy

I keep my medicinal in a pill container and I usually break off a tiny nug so i can cover my bowl hole so nothing falls through and i just throw in the shake that collects at the bottom from the repeated breaking off of nugs. Also breaking your weed up does get you more high! I have a strong belief in this. When you break up weed it pulls much much smoother resulting in major rips which will leaving you coughing and undoubtedly high

Re: Fives Tips To Conserve Cannabis In Slow Economy

pretty cool
I'm not sure if this was already said, but you can do some of those smoke kisses too
I've also inhaled into a bag before and close it, then rehit it... if that makes sense... I know it sounds stupid, but If you really want to save it... :]

Re: Fives Tips To Conserve Cannabis In Slow Economy

since my second grow bust (in one year '08 was ugly) i've had to learn to conserve. very tough for me. im used to plentiful and variety. its difficult for med ppl b/c the more medicinal marijuana they have the healheir they are. growing three or four plants is a great way to get a good personal stash.

Re: Fives Tips To Conserve Cannabis In Slow Economy

Spending severance on anything other than bills and food is rarely good advice in a bad economy

A small one hitter is far more efficient than anything other than a vape, also. Bongs are really not all that efficient they just get you very ripped quickly with large volumes of smoke.

Re: Fives Tips To Conserve Cannabis In Slow Economy

i naturally do all this other than 3 and 4 since i would rather just buy more bud than spend 500 on a volcano. I also buy in bulk cuz i have a job, which works for me. I can make an oz last me over a month just takin gbs (i did smoke to 2 blunts tho..). Considerin in my earlier days an oz would last me a week at most thats good. i just bought a bong which should be here like next week or so. ill see how that affects the lenght of time it takes to finish an oz.

Re: Fives Tips To Conserve Cannabis In Slow Economy

I'd never replace my beloved jays with anything else than an occasional bowl. I'll pay the price of lost smoke, just to get my jays. What I do to conserve is saving the roaches and using a used roach in another joint, etc. But prices are pretty cheap in my country, so I can usually make it last.

What you said about buying in bulk is very true also. One time I bought a 1/2 ounce so it would be "cheaper" and I ended up burning it in 3 weeks instead of the usual 1/8th lasting me a little over a week.

Cool article man


true that buying in large amounts=smoking in large amounts. But look at it this way, you spent 150 on a half o, you would've spent 150 on 3 eighths. You spent the same amount of money and smoked more...

Re: Fives Tips To Conserve Cannabis In Slow Economy

The BEST way to conserve weed is to use a vaporizer, and there are a lot of good vapes out, but there is only one that stands out as the MOST efficient vape on the planet.

The Purple Days.

Why? A few reasons.
The bowl will only hold about .025g. and one can get between 3 to 7 hits off of one bowl.
There are no whips, wands or bags that collect condensation
The temp is fixed to the correct vaping zone. No combustion......ever.

If one wants to conserve weed, THIS vape is the best there is at doing that.
Are there better party vapes out there. Yes.
Are there other vapes that give those huge bong-like rips? Yes, but at the expense of using more weed in the process.

Anyways, it's worth a look-see.

Re: Fives Tips To Conserve Cannabis In Slow Economy

i actually have a schedule for smokin. the only time i get off of it is when i first get the bag but i get back on and hit the next mark after that. i find that if you do this no matter the amount you buy it will last a predictable amount of time in a way. but basically at certain times of the day i just take a GB and im good till its time to take another. i stay high almost 24/7 (LITERALLY) usin this method, and like i said earlier my oz last me over 1 month.


btw im by no means a lightweight and i suggest usin at a minimum beasters for this to work properly

Haha no problem. I started doing the quarter method about 10 years ago when I smoked in my parents house. It helped with smell, conservation, etc. It's a really good trick and its fun to use the same quarter over and over and see how resonated you can get it lol.

Re: Fives Tips To Conserve Cannabis In Slow Economy

strictly vapors and bong hits of vapor imo. and, buy in bulk and get more for cheaper. i can get my dealer's price if i promise not to sell it and just smoke it.

also, i suggest collecting your vaporized bud and keep a jar of stems. with stems you can either shake off a bunch of kief or add them to the vap'd buds and collect at least 7 grams and then make qwiso hash (search for hashmouf's guide). this is a great way to increase your highs and make everything count, so as not to waste what still has thc.

This guy is right. At college my friend had one and i swear an eighth would last a week with that thing. id just pack up one small bowl, rip it, then be good for a while.
