AFN, Any Questions, just give a shout. All here to help people save money and get the medicine they need.Hi AFN. Figured I would introduce myself. I smoked recreationally during University about 20 years ago and only recently started back again after Government legalized it here. Back when I used to smoke I didn't know sativas from indicas and just grabbed whatever 'my guy' could get. When legalization was announced I started researching the different strains, types, effects etc. which lead me to Leafly which lead me to articles about how it was grown, photo-periods vs autoflowers and then eventually here!
I started purchasing 3-4 different strains I recognized (based on the names from decades ago) from OCS in 1g sizes and would 'partake' on a weekend here and there making sure to note the different strains I like based on effect, taste etc. It was definitely a fun 'experiment'. I consider myself a casual-recreational user (maybe 5-8x a month). I don't drink alcohol/beer, but now that weed is legal here I enjoy smoking (although now I vape more often) when going out with friends for dinner, entertainment, camping, bbq's or just hanging out at home. Where they would have a few glasses of wine or a couple of beers I still get to have a little fun/buzz but with have a few hits off my vape instead (and no hangovers! ).
Other than shortages of some of my preferred strains from OCS/local dispensary, I have had a good experience with the handling of legalization here. Sure the price can be a bit high, but I was fine with that based on the amount I use. What has been discouraging lately is the quality of the product. I find it either very dry, short on weight or both. I haven't used my grinder in months unless I wanted to make 'weed dust'. Not wanting to deal with finding a new 'my guy' I started thinking of starting my own grow. After months of reading articles on this site, checking out grow journals, reading every post in the Infirmary in hope to better prepare myself I bit the bullet! and I'm a couple of weeks into my first grow. Except for some nerves, impatience and and some over-watering the first 5-6 days, it has been going pretty good (knock on wood). I'll look into setting up a grow journal in the near future (and how to link it in my signature... lol).
With that long intro out of the way (sorry!), I just want to say Thanks! for the wealth of information I've already gained from this site and its' members that I feel has better prepared me.
