I also second everyone suggesting growing. Your own just feels better. No matter how shitty it is

I only really found any medical benefits when I started using concentrates. Smoking flower, while fun, never got me where I needed to be medicinally.
Grow your own. Growing, in and of itself, has been excellent therapy for me. The more you grow, the more you grow.
If you could find a small corner for a 4x4 tent, you could produce enough to keep yourself in medicated and a large variety to boot. I would go broke if I had to buy all the rosin I smoke.

I think this is why a lot of users change the things they use to get it in there system as well as the type of product itself like oil shatter an so on. Ritual is often a thing people need psychologically to enjoy something. When the ritual no longer has the same meaning its swapped for another more exciting one.

For sure, that’s definitely an important part of it.
Changing the way you consume - bongs/one hitters/pipes/vapes can definitely help you fight the normalization through routine.

Exactly this! It’s a dopamine addiction. Just like you’d get from gambling, or watching porn all day.
For me, I like the process, but I try to keep it for Rec. Just cleaned my piece, got the ice in there chillin up. Will be nice. But that’s my treat for the day.
It’s comforting to know it’s a pretty normal part of the process. I will be growing soon, hopefully. Just hard finding extra work these days.

That was all grown in about 16 square feet.

Oh I’m well aware of your grows, haha.
I spent a year here lurking on a few of member’s grows while I went through some life transitions that prevented me from growing.

What @ReikoX said, that his pic was all grown in a 4 x 4, exactly that. You can have a variety of strains grown in a very small space and also, whatever you grow, it’s ALWAYS gonna turn out better than any of the garbage they sell in dispensaries. Dispensary weed is gawddamn depressing, all dry and brittle and flavorless. Dude, for real, you will not be bored with the shit you grew yourself, if for no other reason than you grew it yourself!
Are we posting pics of our jars? Should I take a pic and post it? I just trimmed and jarred everything over the last week, there’s a LOT of jars filled to the brim…

I like to hit the productivity hard. I used to have a drug problem - I kept running out of weed! Whenever I feel the urge, I go down to the lab and have a quick dab! or Two! OR whatever I feel like today. Can’t rip too much! It’s impossible! Any time I take a dab and it leaves a smile on my face, that’s a good time. If it makes me angry, I know it’s shitty weed. If I had to buy this stuff… well, you could never find it. I don’t think it exists in a store. Instead of switching strains and umm what I call the placebo effect, I make the most potent shit I can then hit that. My grandpappy was a THC man…and so am I…

I’d just be able to post a few empties that used to have weed I grew in them before I smoked it all

Yeahhhhh, but that’s how it goes… You fill the jars, then you empty them. You’ve got more on the way, right?

Yessir, I’m about 6 weeks out from having what I hope will be a perpetual train of home grown.

man, seeing @ReikoX 's stash made me think about my own. Hoarders are never scared of running out of weed. uhh I mean growers are never scared of running out of weed.

I’d kill to never worry again. But fortunately it’s cheaper to grow.

There’s really no better feeling than this @ChemicalDependant , when you’ve seen your grow to the finish line and you’ve got a closet full of weed that you grew yourself:
My jars are fuller than yours, @ReikoX! Nah nah nah nah nana! Just kidding. There’s some empties in there as well, but that’s intentional. Always gotta keep a few jars empty…
Also, just gotta say, when you grow your own, @ChemicalDependant you have options. Meaning, I’ve never had a desire to do dabs or whatever. I’m old-school. I enjoy the ritual of breaking up some weed and rolling a joint. And I really don’t smoke that much at all. But I found myself… not necessarily getting bored with weed, because I never get bored with my plants, but just thinking about something different. So I bought a press. It’s something to do. Really looking forward to making my own concentrates. Again, something to do.
You obviously love weed, even if the glow has worn off. Once you start growing your own, the glow will return. For real.

I have not experienced tolerance in ages.
As @ReikoX says…grow your own and grow as many strains as possible. My grow is small, but I accumulate like a pack rat! 
Tried some 2 yr old GDP last night and it was still potent AF.
I try to keep a jar of each cultivar and rosin press, and make edibles from the rest. Would have killed for this back in the 60’s!

Love seeing everyone’s stashes, not to hijack the thread.

Fuck yes, @Buzzer777 That’s what I’m talking about. Love that two-year-old weed. I smoked some Mountain Temple last summer that I’d forgotten about, harvested January 2017 (according to the label). I was cleaning out the closet, actually, and was like,“Oh, shit, I remember this…” I didn’t even know it was there. And it got me high. As. Fuck.
