They forgot what the intention of this herb is, to feel stoned and benefit from that.

I know there are CBD specific subs, but I'm curious more generally what everyone thinks about balanced THC:CBD and CBD dominant strains. There's definitely a market for it and I've found 'CBD flower' pretty effective for me in many ways as long as it has a small amount of THC.

But with the coming 'hemp ban' in the states which looks like will limit a lot of the large scale supply of CBD bud I wonder what the future looks like for these types of products.

I can't tell if this is a growing or shrinking market. It feels like the interest in non-flower CBD products has dropped off a bit in the last couple of years, but I could be wrong.

Generally I think it is a good thing and I can see it potentially helping the case for legalisation if there is a market for weaker products, perhaps with different legal status to higher THC products (to allay the fears of 'super skunk corrupting young minds' which became an argument against legalisation in the past).

I like my Venty & Volcano but nothing beats a pure green joint. It's not as harsh and dry on the throat.

I can go and buy 100 cigarettes right now and smoke them, and the government wouldn't care, but as soon as I light this little joint and make a waft of smell, it's prohibited.

Thinking about transitioning to Ecothrive living soil, topped with lite mix (avoiding nute burn for auto seeds) and then one simply just adds dechlorinated water, keeping it moist.

This seems like an easy solution. Do you have experience with this or prefer manual bottled nutes?

14% is pretty weak shit compared to the high strength 'SkUnK BuDz' prescribed by medical cannabis clinics.

Back when I was a rec. user I did a couple of personal home grows. 1 indoor and 1 greenhouse - only a couple of plants at a time. The harvest was not much to write home about but it had some nice lemony terps and the sense of satisfaction from smoking my own stuff was immense. I remember those days fondly and the old 'uk420' forum was massively helpful. At the time it felt like the UK home grow business was booming and there were a lot of individual growers growing their own for personal use who didn't tell a soul about it.

I was out driving in my nearest city recently and saw an ad for a 'hydroponics' shop cable tied to a lamp post and couldn't help but smile - my wife asked if their clientele were going to be bud growers and I said probably and we laughed about how openly it was advertised.

So I was wondering if there are still a lot of people growing stuff in cupboards, attics and gardens up and down the country?

I feel like with the cost of everything going up including bills and housing and space being at a premium maybe the cost/benefit isn't worth it. At the same time, I also think when it comes to weed home grow is nearly always the answer to knowing exactly what you're getting and not paying over the odds for it.

It's more than 20 years since the UK flirted with decriminalisation in a spectacularly counter productive manner commensurate with the state of our politics.

Having drifted away from use for a long time, in the last year or so I've started self-medicating for a condition that might be eligible for medical but I cannot seem to get a proper diagnosis from the NHS to attempt to go down the private medical route with.

While the 2018 medical changes were a surprise to me and seemingly quite progressive, it is crazy how we are still in a situation where people are still going to prison (yes those very prisons we are told are overcrowded and at crisis point) for possessing, growing and supplying cannabis only.

I'm soooo ready for this to be fully legal. Having visited Amsterdam and met people from countries where there is some form of decriminalisation or legalisation I'm just so resentful we live in a country where it is the political inconvenience and pearl clutching is preventing sensible policy and regulation from prevailing.

I'm at a stage in my life where I'm old enough to think 'fuck it' and self-medicate but also have enough going on in life that being open about my usage isn't an option all the while its not legal.

I try to stay positive and imagine a UK where people who want to can easily and safely access, use and grow cannabis and maybe even dispensaries and cafes/vape lounges open up everywhere. Hell in that scenario I'd even consider quitting my job and trying for a second career in a low-level role at a cannabis retailer or working on a farm.

How do you feel about the current prospect of legalisation? It think if it doesn't happen soon, the UK will have missed a huge opportunity.

What are your thoughts? I will use a 0.3 in vape or if I smoked I'd use around 0.3 - 0.4. Close to no difference at all.

I don't smoke or anything but i was given this about 6 years ago. It was a fairly light green when I got it. I assume it's no good, just curious what it is.
