Yeah it’s a really tough decision. Both of my parents kind of advise against getting tested until I start actually exhibiting symptoms of it so that I can live my life to the fullest without having it weigh me down. But idk, it already weighs me down a lot of the time just having it in the back of my head that I could have it, and I’m the type of person who would love some peace of mind.
I got a cart called King Louis XIII and it is fuckin' phenomenal. Strong, euphoric indica that put me to sleep within an hour. Tastes great too. If you have insomnia, this is the strain for you.
What are some things I can put in my bong water to improve the experience? I've heard chilling it helps with smoother hits, so I usually put the bong in the fridge for a few hours before I use it, but open to new ideas. I've heard milk makes it smoother as well, but not sure I'd like to try that. Do flavourings do anything? I don't really care about the harshness of it or anything, just wanna try funky new things haha.
I just like water and maybe ice if it has an ice catcher but every time someone tried to get fancy it's been absolutely terrible haha. I remember this kid tried Listerine one time and it was so hard to get that taste out of the piece.
You can get little stones that look like fish stones in the bottom. I think I heard they help with percolation or something? Then obvious ice in an ice catcher thing, or an ash catcher to get things really smooth
Might get an ice cube tray and try that one time. I've been reading there that some fruit juices can be fun as long as it doesn't have a high sugar content as that could mess up the piece. Or even tea, which was a suggestion. That would be one I'd be down for.
A drop or two (no more than that) of peppermint essential oil in fresh bong water for a peppermint patty hit, or use a cotton swab and swab the inside of the mouth piece. It's glorious. Don't use it for smaller pieces like bowls or vapes tho- the peppermint is too strong and burns your throat.
I'd suggest sticking with just water/ice, but if you must use something else, steer clear of anything with alcohol in it (beer, wine, liquor, even mouthwash) because THC is alcohol soluble and you are potentially losing some of the potency.
Also could potentially be inhaling alcohol infused fumes, which would not be a fun time for anyone. I might check out the peppermint oil idea! That sounds pretty cool
I know it’s impossible to tell from labels but pinene is a common substance in peppermint oil and it’s pretty hazardous. It has 4 oral toxicity which is the highest it can get. I’m sure it’s talking about concentrated pinene and most oils have less than <1%. Just a heads up from your local chemistry professor. Menthol and menthone are OK though.
I'd be hesitant to use anything but water tbh. Moisture in your lungs is bad enough as-is, no need to add other elements to the mix heh
Thanks for the heads up. Had no idea, thought it was au naturel. Will probably stop doing it from now on, but it was a wonderful recipe while it lasted.
Honestly, I’m sure it depends on the source. But stuff from grocery stores/target etc usually has some nasty stuff in there
Occasionally I used to be fancy and use mango seltzer in my bong but idk if it has negative effects so I haven't done it in a while. The added flavor isn't massive but it is noticeable and v nice.
I'm an ex cigarette smoker and not a fan of tobacco, but something got me on blunt kick lately. These are pretty tasty if you're looking to flavor things up a bit...
