  2. Sweet info man. I was actually just looking for something like this! I'll +rep you when I'm on a computer!
     
  3. Cheers man. This info makes owning vaporizer actually usefull to me haha. so u can just vape the thc in the morning and not just go back to sleep :D
     
  4. Good idea! Never thought of that. Gonna buy a vape very soon so this info will come in handy!
     
  5. Are terpenes and terpenoids the same thing? If so, I had no idea terps actually had medicinal benefits, and so many at that.
     
  6. Lazyman, what temp do you recommend for vaping to get the most benificial effects you can?
     
  7. they are closely related but are different types of molecules, however they are often mixed up so when someone is talking about terpenes in cannabis they may be refereeing to turpinoids.

    Here's what wikipedia says.
    "When terpenes are modified chemically, such as by oxidation or rearrangement of the carbon skeleton, the resulting compounds are generally referred to as terpenoids. Some authors will use the term terpene to include all terpenoids. Terpenoids are also known as isoprenoids.
    Terpenes and terpenoids are the primary constituents of the essential oils of many types of plants and flowers."
     
  8. Well i guess it depends on what therapeutic effects you want or what condition you have. i like to vape at 160 during the early day then i go to 190 in the late after noon to get the majority of the cannabinoids. if you are trying to alleviate pain i would go with 180-190 if you are trying to cure depression i would go with 160 but if your just going for fun it depends on what sort of high you want. although i havent done much research on the matter and there would be lots of good info out there. Il come back to this when iv done more research
     
  9. just found this

    Temperature oC Temperature oF General Effect
    140 284 2AI
    150 302
    160 320 E,2AN,3AI,AE,AX,AS,BD
    170 338 AX,2AN,AS,2AI
    180 356 AE,AD,2AI,AX
    185 365 SE
    190 374 2SE,AD,AX
    200 392
    210 410
    220 428 AI,AN,E,SE
    225 437 SE
    230 446 SE

    The legend is as follows;
    AI=anti inflammatory
    E=Euphoriant
    AN=analgesic
    AE=antiemetic (anti nausea)
    AX=anxiolytic
    AS=antipsychotic
    BD=bronchodilator
    AD=antidepressant
    SE=sedative
     
  10. Awesome man thanks so much for the info! I cannot WAIT to get my vape!

    PS: May reduce tumor size in some cancers helps pain when topically applied. Available OTC in bulk quantities. May compliment or in a pinch substitute for CBD in some applications YMMV.
     
  15. really :eek: is this ß-caryophyllene that your referring to?

    Cannabinoid agonist's are the good guys THC, CBD & all the other Cannabinoid's at the top of the page are agonist's. They drop in and make something happen or not. The antagonist then comes by when the time is right and shuts things down or in some cases just bloc-aids the receptor so nothing can happen.

    If the question mark is not yours it would indicate this is a suspected Cannabinoid. If it is yours then it belongs up with the Cannabinoids too.
     
  17. na i didn't write this so it must be suspected

    yes ß-caryophyllene binds to the same neuroreceptor as CBD and has some actions that appear similar to CBD. It is approved by US-FDA as a flavoring agent and for use in compounding perfumes, and is available in bulk by mail order. This Cannabinoid is available from both Cannabis and a lot of non Cannabis plants incl. members of the mint family, Citrus essential oils Clove Oil, Cinnamon Oil and bunches of others.

     
  19. This is so fucking cool!
