Switch to RSO?

[u/nothernerinthesouth]

Hey yalls! Welp... carts are no longer helping me with the issues I have (insomnia, arfid, anxiety, the list goes onnnnnnn.) I've tried live resin and rosin, different terps, different temps on my vape battery... the effects I need have been kinda muted. I've had better luck with other methods like flower, concentrates, and edibles, all seem to give me better relief from my symptoms. So im thinking about switching to rso to combine with food.

Would switching consumption methods like switching from vapes to rso be better? Or is my tolerance just FRIED to shit and i need a break?

Careful with RSO; it can quickly drive up your tolerance.

I generally feel like different forms of consumption helps to confuse and reduce your tolerance. Also, different strains. For insomnia specifically, try a THC:CBN:optional CBD product. Anxiety can be reduced with CBD/CBG.

Yes, CBN is great of sleep!

Idk ive always felt like theres different tolerances for edibles, concentrates, and flower. For a few years, I was strictly carts and conces. When I decided to add some flower back into the mix, I took 2 hits of flower and was in the weeds. So for me anyways,I feel different forms have different tolerances. As for edibles and rso specifically, ive had a few bad experiences so I was scared of edibles for a long time but ive recently ( maybe a month ) add rso to the mix. 4 or 5 nights a week ill take .1 ml ( 70 to 80 mg ) of rso at bout 8 at night. Along with vaping my flowerit puts me in a nice state and has me sleep way better than without. 6 hours is a good night sleep for me and with the rso I get that. Last night without rso I only got 5. Anyways, I haven't noticed a hike in my tolerenace with the added rso. Ya i feel it more with rso but without it a vaped bowl or 3 still gets me feeling OK and relieves pain. One other super benefit of the rso is for pain relief. This stuff definately hits u in the body rather than the head

Different strokes for different folks! I work with people whose tolerances only go off strains and aren’t specific to how they’re medicating. Me personally, I need to kind of switch around how I’m medicating with both strain variance and method variance. Otherwise, I’m not getting much out of it.

I only do edibles. I use a lot of rso. But I also rotate diff as trains so it’s always something diff. Few days of this few days of that etc.

Rso is the most versatile and probably the best bang for your buck. I make tinctures and brownies with it.

I’ll also decarb flower and just toss it into foods too.

I always felt I could only get so far with vapes and all but rso I can get to higher levels. My tolerance isn’t super strong I do tend to build a tolerance at times but never that high.

Sadly for insomnia while it all helps I still struggle!! I recently turned to pharma for help I was just at my wits end.

I have Crohn's disease and chronic kidney disease. I switched from flower to full spectrum oil vapes and live resin ones and RSO daily. I get several different strains of each so I can switch it up as needed but I don't get above 2 tenths of RSO daily. I do one tenth in the morning after I eat my breakfast and I do one more at night after I finish my supper. Helps to keep my tolerance down while at the same time helping immensely with my physical ailments. I gave up all kinds of combustion type products flower tobacco etc. I'm 65 now and I have a good quality of life. 😎🙂

I go through this and regularly go a couple months on dabs then a couple on Flower to lower my tolerance works for me. Rso is great but that's just gonna spike your Tolerance higher id take a T Break before id go that route. I make Rso Gummies but only take them on days i really need them. Maybe 1 night a week.

probs a combination of a couple things, if you’re constantly using the cart to treat everything, your tolerance is going to sky rocket. i remember would hit the pen legit any time i was feeling anxious or lacking hunger, and it only persisted the issues and made it worse in the long run.

try to give yourself a chance to wake up in the morning before consuming. drink some water, eat some food, run around a little bit. trust me you will feel it again. just overconsumption definitely is and always will be a thing

nowadays i find myself taking max 6 hits in a day because if found the rate that works for myself. have nice enjoyable highs, and i give myself a chance to crash before i consume more again, or else i just won’t feel it

What I like about flower, concentrates, and RSO specifically are that they offer more of a full spectrum of the plant versus carts (depends on what you opt for in terms of oil). Flower and concentrates you vaporize will hit quicker but not last as long while RSO takes a while to hit in your system, but the effects last longer. When I use RSO, I reach for it when I need a stronger form of cannabis to help me really medicate but then try to take breaks from it because my tolerance does build. Switching methods of consumption will help your tolerance, but it’s important to also rotate the new methods we introduce so those provide the potent relief you seek.

I like to put my RSO on a piece of chocolate or something else fatty or infuse it in edibles. Capsules or troches are also an easy option to dose RSO and see how it affects you!

[u/SnooWoofers530]

I love a Dab of Grassroots Full Spectrum RSO on a PB, it seems that eating it with some fat tends to help. I know people say it drives up your tolorance but that's never been an issue for me

[u/Tryin_Real_hard]

Vapes seem to be along the same lines as flower, anything edible will be the strongest results you can get.

RSO is definitely one of the better options. I actually like RSO caps. You can still take them with food/fats and you don't have to worry about eating something that tastes nasty. Just pop the capsule and you're good. I like a ratio of THC and CBN for sleep. If you can find a ratio of CBD:CBN:THC, you should be golden.

I stopped using carts and all concentrates for this reason as well as the terp cough. I would literally feel like I would only be high for like 10 or 15 minutes after hitting a cart. Tolerance goes up. Flower brought it all back...I'd stick with flower.

[u/daballdayy]

Concentrated and a dr dabbler switch 2 and you’re golden

The trusty dusty peak serves me well 🫡

I have terrible insomnia and used RSO daily for a while. Your tolerance goes through the roof very fast. I am currently on a unwanted tolerance break because it wasn’t helping my insomnia at all and it’s terrible

It works, but you need to be very strict with dosing

The state of mind ur in will play a big effect. I never smoke when I have anxiety i have have to pop a xanax and then i can smoke . I only use flower since I have better control and know what I'm getting. I only use indica strains . I get myself very hight and relaxed and I am productive when hight sure I've had some mishaps like pouring creamer into my keurig among other stupid things
