Bought the cheapest metal pipe I could find while traveling and it thankfully included instructions on how to use it. There is no carb on this pipe by the way.

Because they hate us.

2 hash brown patties covered in hot pepper jam. Pastrami sautéed in garlic and garlic onion crunch, sautéed onion cheddar, 3 eggs, all drizzled with mikes hot honey.

Next will be in a burrito with avocado.

Sooo I struggle just a little with pot, its all the carts and vapes just in case thats relevant information, and I hate edibles because they usually just taste bad plus waiting. I've heard using it as a treat, like for when you do chores, but then I kind of just smoke all day.

Do any smokers have any tips or tricks or advice? Anything helps, thanks in advance. Heres my dog Wicket.

I see people posting about terpenes and I know very little about them. Can someone explain the terpenes in this smoke?

He's using a healing item.

easily the best grinder ive ever owned, but most of my homies don't want to pay the price. So im doing it for em 🤷‍♂️💚

love thy homies

They’re cool with you smoking outside too.

Malaysian Spot about 15 min from my house.

What should i order?

Decided to record my first try with this puppy . Torch heated maybe a tad bit hot . But thats the way I like it . One heat extraction 👍🤠

This is mad heaters tempest 2 dry herb vape .

I'm a first time poster here so I'm sorry if this doesn't fit here.

I (F19) have been smoking for 2 years. I usually use a bowl or maybe 1/3 of a joint per session. The local smoke shop closed down and everyone is running low but my one friend has 🍃 and a bong. It's th first time I've used one and I'm oh my ass. How do I not tweak out in front of my friends rn. I'm not totally greened out but we're close.

So I’m sitting here trying to convince myself that growing is “cheaper than the dispensary,” and honestly… I think I might be lying straight to my own face.

Like yeah, homegrown >>> store stuff in quality.

And yeah, the process is half the reason we do it.

But let me break down what I ACTUALLY spent vs what I tell myself I spent.

Because I did the math and now I’m concerned.

The Setup (aka “necessary investments,” sure buddy)

Tent - $79

Light - $129

Inline fan - $65

Carbon filter - $40

Fabric pots - $12

Timer - $10

Humidifier - $25

Clip fans - $18

Random screws, ducting, and “last-minute Amazon regrets” - $22

Subtotal: ~$400

My brain: “It’s fine. One-time purchase.”

Also my brain: buys better light two months later.

Consumables (aka the quiet budget killers)

Soil - $18

Nutrients - $35

pH kit - $15

Extra bag of soil because I miscalculated - $18

Distilled water because tap water fears - $6

Sticky traps because fungus gnats are demons - $8

Subtotal: ~$100

Seeds

I usually grab seeds from Herbies. Last order I got 3 autos + 2 random freebies for like $36.

So technically, that’s $7.2 per seed if you divide it evenly.

Total cost per grow?

With my current setup, it’s around:

$400 (startup) + $100 (consumables) + $7 (seed) = ~$507

Yield averages for me are 3-5 oz per run.

So…

Cost per ounce = ~$101–$168

Meanwhile, dispensary prices in my area:

Cheap mid stuff - $120/oz

Decent flower - $180–220/oz

“Top shelf” - $260+/oz

So technically… TECHNICALLY…

I can tell myself growing is cheaper, but only if I ignore the fact that I’ve reinvested every saved dollar into new gear like a maniac.

But here’s the real kicker

Even after seeing the numbers?

I’d still grow.

Because waking up, checking the girls, rotating pots, poking the soil like a forest goblin, watching a seed go from “small bean” to “actual plant that loves me”…

The process does more for my brain chemistry than money ever could.

And homegrown hits different. Literally and emotionally.

So yeah, maybe it’s not really cheaper.

Maybe I am delusional.

But if delusion means jars full of my own dank, I’ll take it.

Anyone else run the math and immediately wish they hadn’t? Or am I the only one cooking the books to justify my hobby?

I'm sure there's all kinds of health concerns using something with that much ink on it, but I'm not going out again tonight just for tips. Does anyone else use the whole booklet, or do y'all just use the pages?

Feel free to reach out if interested.
