Maybe someone can help!

I need help in my damn mind what's up with these dabs! How can you waste? That much bud and get dabs cheaper than bud in many cases...Also I really honestly get way higher on flower...I basically never smoke indica strains but sayyy gelato dabs is knocking ppl out literally in front of my eyes and I'm charged out. I don't care what dabs it is.. always per say Sativa effects for me...lacking in so many ways(whole other discussion) Oh ya they blast ya but there is definitely missing elements that make me dislike them for quite a few reasons..Am I just old school or cmon. What gives with these damn things. I don't get it as a whole

They use mostly trim to make dabs that's why it's so cheap. They also use nugs but those are way more expensive...live rosin. Dabs isn't about getting high as much as it's about staying high...
I used to dab bho all day, then rosin for a few years but now I just smoke flower and I'm actually glad that I haven't dabbed in over 2 years. I was getting panic attacks from dabbing and that went away once I stopped.
If I had a set-up for making fresh frozen I may think about it again, you really need a vacuum freezer to make good rosin so I guess I'll just look at the dank pictures for now.

So why can I funtion damn well on dabs that's laying ppl down...but when it comes to heavy indicas I'm stuck as fuck...I do agree they are for staying high. Keeps me up all night. I'm a drinker so dabs just make me drink more.. Just another reason I don't understand them

 

[Rosinallday]

I found dabs can act as a stimulant. I'm sure it effects everyone differently. Under 10 dabs for me are uppers, over 10 starts sending me down. Good hash rosin is so tasty but can be really strong. That was my downfall, damn tasty dabs.

 

[HBZ]

That's the thing. Effects everyone different wondering if there was ppl thinking dabs kinda suck like I do??

They ain't using bud. It's all shake/trim and butane. Black market dabs here are $30 a gram..........but you don't know what you are getting.

As a medical user, I find the impact on my lungs is way less. I don't cough like I did when I was smoking flowers. I also find the lack of lethargy a positive thing. You match strain to effect. You can still get sat on your ass with the quickness with the right strain. I only press flowers, mostly outdoor full season. I don't winterize. I medicate much less than I had to with flowers. And Flavor is everything to me. Smoking flowers impacted my tastebuds way more, I taste things more clearly after a dab. I noticed it more when I quit smoking cigs, but I noticed it none the less. When my pain is at its worst, I can CRUSH it with a well matched dab. When you learn the nuances of terpenes, you can unlock some serious potent meds with rather directed effects.

I actually found the opposite for some reason. Dabbing made my lungs feel way worse than smoking flower. I learned that when you press flower you end up with waxes and lipids which can have a long term damaging effect on the lungs. Sure is tasty though.

I agree with you, and many others, that when you remove the carbon compounds of what you are inhaling it drastically changes the effects. What I notice is that it seems SOME of the effects of smoking are amplified, while others are nonexistant, leading to a different kind of feeling of "high". I dont like it as much, it never gives me the "melt into the couch and stare through a movie" feeling that bud can, I always ended up in my head thinking about what was wrong with my life and how to make it better, to a point it was almost stressful feeling like I HAD to make things better or something.

I couldnt tell you anything about the sciences of what you are removing but i certainly can feel its absence.

If they come out in rosin than they are present in the flowers as well, so we are all still inhaling them.

I like doing dabs but for some reason I get a migraine like a half hour after doing them but I should say I’ve never had dabs from a dispo or from a professional mine have always been the $100 for a 1/4 type so probably not the greatest quality

 

[GthaEnigma]

My guess on the headaches is improperly purged BHO. I have experienced the same thing with blasted dabs. Rosin press eliminates all of that. Clean, solventless, and quick. I can turn on my press, load a bag while it reaches temp and be medicating with dabs in 15 min, start to finish and have enough for a day or two.
One other thing is dabbing temp. Alot of times if you hit hot nails it hurts, not from the weed but from the hot air burning your lungs.

I’ve had a dab press in my Amazon cart for probably a year now I just haven’t pulled the trigger I figure it’s one more thing for me to get addicted too lol I’m sure I will one of these days I just love joints so much everytime I pull out my rig I feel like I’m cheating on my rolling tray lol

I actually bought a press. Huge mistake..used it once and knew right away that was something I didn't want to continue doing.. basically wasted a nice bag of chemdawg for a gram of rosin that my wife smoked in one night?

That’s my other thing I rather have nice full jars of bomb bud than a little silicone container full of wax…idk maybe I’m old school lol

I'm right there with ya...don't think I'll ever figure out people's preference of dabs

I can totally understand not wanting to press indoor homegrown for rosin, yields are not there. However, if you are able to have a few TREES in the yard it changes the equation entirely. I can dab what would cost rapper money for pennies. I press what I grow, no middlemen, no profiteering. I could not afford to dab if dispos were involved. My press paid for itself in less than a month.

Have you...or has anyone pressed dry ice hash....you know the less desirable darker stuff?

 

[GthaEnigma]

Just like with hash, you get out what you put in. I am ok with pressing it, but it is way better in edibles. More bang for your buck and its lower quality is easier to upscale so to speak.

Stoner mind bomb warning....this is pure bro science but I wonder if the more sleepy effect from smoking flowers has to do with trapped smoke particulate in the lungs inhibiting oxygen uptake. It is the same thing during fire season here. Tons of particulate = lower blood oxy = sleepyness and lethargy.
