Going to Oregon to meet some friends for a few days. They don’t smoke at all but are curious and willing to imbibe a bit. I have previously gotten them edibles (Federally Legal Delta 9) but want to introduce them to some smoking as well if they are interested. I also want to get a little fucked up in a legal state.
What should I be looking for at the dispensary? I dry herb vape my black market flower down here, but I am not gonna try to get my vape through TSA.
Should I try to buy a cheap bong up there? Never used one, but I hate joints, they make my lungs burn and I cough more than I inhale.
Should I just stick with edibles? I also kind of want to try RSO but not sure I want to get THAT fucked up. I enjoy doing high doses by myself but I won’t have an opportunity to be alone on this trip.
Pre rolls or a disposable vape pens work really well when traveling. Could also buy a cheap bubbler as a “gift” for them since they’re small and generally really fun to smoke from.
Thanks! Are bubblers often at dispensaries or would we need to go to a head shop?
There are a few pieces for sale at dispensaries here, but you’d get a better selection (and probably better prices) from a smoke shop.
I’d stay far away from dabs if you’re not familiar and definitely not for your friends who don’t smoke.
I personally just stick to edibles and my vape pen these days. Trying to go 100% smoke free after quitting cigarettes.
Pre rolled joints might be better than whatever home roll you’ve had, and can be quite cheap (just bought a couple for $2 each yesterday, each a gram). You could also buy some flower and a bowl, probably the cheapest option if you want to smoke loose flower.
Edibles are also a decent option, they should be good and cheap. Bought a 200 mg pack of 5mg gummies for like $5 yesterday. Just keep an eye out of sales
I am in MI though so ymmv
I have only ever tried pre-rolls from dispensaries in california. Never tried myself.
Could I be smoking them wrong or do I need to burn in my lungs? Glass bowls are a little similar too.
Do disposable vapes exist?
Depending on the area you might have limited dispensary options, the big cities in Oregon have tons of dispensaries but smaller towns usually have like 1 or none. I’d recommend going shopping in one of the cities so you have more variety to choose from.
Also I’d recommend buying a cheap silicone bong. They’re indestructible so you won’t have to be so careful with them or go through any heartbreak if a drop occurs; perfect for just focusing on the smoking and fun parts of your trip.
Weed is pretty cheap and dispensaries are all over the place in places like Portland and Bend, so why not just go in and pick up a variety of things like a pack of gram sized (bigger joints feel smoother to me, since you have more distance from the cherry) pre-rolls and some gummies or chocolates? You can get a lot of different cannabis stuff for ~$50 in Portland.
Also make sure not to go too hard when you smoke joints. You don’t want to suck in like a straw, just gently inhale. And you really don’t need to take giant hits or hold them in forever, small shallow puffs will do you just fine. No need to optimize, the weed is strong and cheap enough that just passing around a gram taking small puffs will do you right.
Be careful with edibles for newbies too, it’s very easy for people to take too much and have a bad experience. A single ~5mg or ~10mg (for a bigger person) gummy will be a good place to start, and make sure your friends wait like an hour for it to settle in.
hey, I live in Portland, if you’re going to be here i’d recommend getting an inexpensive glass piece to leave with your friends, then try a few different strains in 1g increments.
edibles and carts are fine too, but I’m definitely more of a flower guy. I use a flower vape as well, but I’m not sure I s recommend getting a cheap one even if you can find one.
