Carts Questions on carts - cheers

[GreenSeer]

Hi - sorry if this is not the appropriate section, but these are questions to do with carts, here i am about to order my third prescription of carts, i am off flower for a while, so carts are my one and only medication source. Right so....

I am get through them rapidly, much much quicker than the label, 2 sec inhalation..... max 10 times per day? What? This isnt a problem at my end, no negatives but the first couple of weeks, of prescription 1, titrating up to the max the label allows, was absolutely unnoticeable in terms of much medicated effect (they were typically the thc850 4C Labs ones, £49 each which I realise is lower graded). Ok so, genuine Qs, and for the record, in my screening appt, i fully disclosed my heavy THC vape usage honestly and correctly, telling them at that point one would last me a day to 2 days when i had them at hand, lowered a lot since but £300 on carts this month.... hmmmmn never again. I am doing something wrong surely.

1- is it seen that i am misusing if i go above this labels stated amount? If so, I am going to have to rethink (flower and vaping directly of it are not compatible withmy lifestyle, work, culture surrounding me, family...... whereas carts are zero % taboo and accepted by all them and perfect for me).

2- my Carts history was 2-3 a week of the black market ones prior to going medical sometimes more. Who knows what chemicals were in those, I am convinced the THC / delta was supplemented with something nasty in many of them. Fast forward, so here I am, about to buy medical "clean" carts (zero additives stated proudly on MedBud entry- nice), well that is the thinking. Second q is then, so why do the medical ones seem to medicate less then, if this is concentrated THC and at alleged THC 850, those were the highest THC available. And then, is the THC amount the thing to go off in order to acquire the most medicating of THC medicines available to us legally? How do you actually pick?

Anyway cheers

Hello bud, I hope you're doing well, and good too see you returning to the forum!

Generally speaking there isn't a one size fits all with the dosing titrations, whilst a 2 second puff spread across 10 different occasions could potentially be more than enough for one patient, for the next patient such as yourself it's totally ineffective so I wouldn't read too much in to the dosages, ultimately you know your own body better than anybody and how to go about making your medication efficacious ie longer pulls, more pulls through the day/night etc.

The catch is with cartridges the more you consume, the higher your tolerance gets, especially the distillate carts as they're basically raw THC which will provide the "high" sensation, that build up of raw THC will 100% be effecting your tolerance and myself personally I don't tend to feel much medicinal properties from the "botanical" terpenes they add compared to rosin and/or hash rosin carts, rosin/hash rosin are generally more well rounded and provide a better entourage effect as it's a full extraction process from the plant material itself.

This may be a wild stab in the dark, but it might be worth trying to hit the reset button a little on the distillate carts, let your tolerance come down slightly then potentially try a rosin / hash rosin cart to see if you can feel any difference for the conditions you use medical cannabis for compared to the distillate carts you're using now.

I appreciate they're higher in cost so please take that in to consideration if you plan on trying one in the future.

I think for a lot of people carts indeed just push up tolerance with little medical effects. I am the same as you, barely feeling anything when using these, and I tried all the various resins and rosins.

It's just not for everyone I guess.

Btw I had exactly the same experiences with BM carts years ago. Initial rush and "wow how cool and comfy is this", then 2 days later "this barely does anything".

Alright mate, thanks for the time and insight, appreciated. This seems to be a thing, that carts seem to increase resistance. I have looked over some older threads on this website and come across this. Yeah I think my tolerance has shot up. This is making sense. A lot now.

I think i will have to move primarily to flower afterall for vaping in the medium term, which will be a challenge (lifestyle / family / culture) but thatll be easier ish now I have declared the green love to those that matter etc went well (ish) as I got only vapes and oil... easier in my case than just going full on bud on day 1. Consumed bud for decades but doing this my way (controlled disclosure v catastrophic disclosure) so as not to alienate peeps who I am slowly winning over this end. The legality though... big game changer.

Ps - I've ordered my prescription, added a Wedding Cake rosin one, others distillate. Damn, yeah the price difference and its just a 1ml but you get what you pay for I guess. I get 6 vapes and oil a month on my prescription.... I'll do that again for this month but yeah, I now realise, think I will be switching next month. Bar the oil I bought, across my now 3 months as a med patient, spent what 750 . Writing this out - kinda realise that reads really bad.

Decision - my opinion has come to the point where I have spent too much, and a bad financial pattern is normalising with the carts. Will still buy couple rosins per month. But.... to switch out the remaining number of vapes for an equivalent in flower...

Cheers All, glad I asked!

Not a problem, glad I could help!

Be intrigued to hear how you get on with the hash rosin Clearleaf® cartridge, hopefully with it being full plant extract you feel more medicinal benefits from it.

With regards to the financial aspects of things, I don't judge and we're all a chilled bunch here so please don't feel bad thinking how it may read to others

Yes mate I am starting to see them now as supplemental to what'll be a flower-dominant prescription next time!

Also- on the BM carts, same here. And I would get 10 BM a month, £250-320 max total, but by the second one, consumption being more habitual at that point, not medicinal.

Also, I am not an aggro sort, peaceful guy etc, decent, etcetc... but, some, not all, some BM vapes did have bad things in absolutely, in my time. There would be times I would have meltdowns and short temper and absolute aggression issues with BM vapes. Would be the instant first thought when I woke up and when waking up sometimes, it would even be in my hand or at least in bed, that aint right, . PS I dont have addiction issues, but damn, yeah some BM vapes sure did that to me. I'm def not the only one either as a mate experienced similar from shared purchases a few times.

Never violence etc but damn, what must be in some BM cart vapes is scary. I am pretty sure I have had ones with spice in too. I wont be going back to them, all the Runtz and Packwoods and Space Clubs etc etc. But the medical ones... that price, compared to 10g flower........ my prescription cost will halve... Maybe i have been falsely swayed by carts. Ah well, as said, yeah I will view them as supplemental and an occassional treat but also an essential tool to stealth-consume.

Thanks man, cheers to ya!

Sure ok, I will pop up a little mention on the Wedding Cake thread. I did add more rosins, but seeing the basket total i chickened out and got the others as distillates. It has been good for me to discuss this so thanks, as at the point of my joining I was all about the carts. A little time along and I am walking this back a little and googling herb-vaping devices

Hopefully you will find that like me you can use the rosin carts supported by bud. I used to hammer distillate carts, some lasting only 2 days. I just finished my Clearleaf® Platinum Slurricane cat after 5 days. I ordered it with 50g of bud, I now have 33g of bud left.

Hi mate - yes that is the case for me. The BM vape pens I used to blast through them rapidly i think i built a high resistance temporarily from them. Then, moved to medical, and yeah i have used beyond the label instruction for sure, but, i was used to higher dose anyway and already titrated so to speak.... but...

Gonna look into flower vaping (which is gonna cause problems at this end but hey, lets go, cats already out the bag). For waht i have spent on carts this month, and the last two, no, thats not sustainable on many fronts, health, habit and finance. Would be more financially prudent for me to embrace the herb and vape that way. Then just switch to the pens and stretch them out to being on the go or stealth things. Thats the plan erm we shall see. The price of medical carts is also sending me to flower come to think of it too

cheers mate!

Yeah i got all distillates to this point - but - this one is Clearleaf® T750 Hash Rosin Wedding Cake. Is there a difference - noticeably so far!
