While I can’t speak for all smoke shops, I don’t mind at all when someone does this. Either way though there’s no reason to feel bad. It’s part of my job to answer questions and inform people about product. I personally enjoy it or I wouldnt be working this job.

Nitrous Oxide. Commonly referred to as “whippets”. They are extremely dangerous and harmful to your body.

Yes, I do sell Hookah products at my store. Most smoke shops will have them, but if not look for a local Hookah lounge where they will often sell products you can take home.

they are actually not that harmful unless you continually use them, and it’s not an addictive substance (i’ve never done them but i’m a fellow smoke shop employee)

tbh i would argue kratom is worse, specifically 7oh

Both are terrible

Not quite, both take the form of a wax or an oil like substance. It’s not so much that one is safer than the other as it is preferred smoking experience. As for how a cart is made, the process is a bit lengthy and there are several ways to do it. Take a look at this article that goes a bit more in depth than I can fit into a comment. https://budpop.com/how-are-thca-carts-made/

Personally I’m a Raw user. I use king size papers to roll cones that I then pack. Usually I only pack them about half full if I’m by myself, but I often smoke with other people. I’m also a fan of the Blazy Susan Brand.

either way i was not advocating for the use of them i was just saying i’ve seen people who’s lives were ruined over kratom/7oh. people have had to go into treatment, and the physical withdrawals are said to be more brutal than withdrawing off opioids.

I’ve personally smoked carts for a very long time. Smoking anything can damage your lungs with prolonged usage. I have not experienced any long term irreversible effects. That being said I’m an otherwise healthy 22 year old, so I don’t know long term usage. If someone solely smokes carts regularly, I’ve seen it lead to temporary “brain fog” or coughing, but that has gone away after a break in my experience.

I wouldn’t say it’s common at all from my experience. It’s possible to develop a condition called CHS, but this is somewhat rare and only typically found in heavy chronic users.

every person is different, and every person has different body chemistry, but for me 100%. i use it for both nausea and cramps and it works better than anything else i’ve tried

Ok thanks for your honest answer. I’m also 22 and have been doing the carts for about 3 years now almost nightly, idk if the brain fog affects me or not since I’m sober most of everyday and dealing with a lot of mental issues/stress anyways, I haven’t noticed any affect on my lungs or physical capabilities but def at that point I’m thinking about going solely edibles soon so I’m using less consistently for my mental and for my lungs since I’m at a point I can afford to do all edibles

The short answer is typically yes. THC can be effective in reducing all of those things. In my experience smoking with some form of headache can sometimes help or sometimes make things a bit worse. I would recommend experimenting with a couple different strains to see what might help and what doesn’t.

Short answer yes. THC chemicals do help with nausea and cramps and this is proven. Helps with migraines too. But using too much THC can make nausea worse. The act of smoking and the dehydration from getting high could make your migraine worse. A balanced amount trying to actually help yourself and not just get high off your ass will most likely help you greatly but its different for everyone and possible it makes it temporarily worse

To take a dab using a glass rig, a couple different things will be needed. A torch, a scooping tool for your material (often called a nail), and the rig itself. There are more things you can add to enhance the experience, but those are the basics. First get your desired amount of wax on the tool. Then heat your bucket (or banger) to a temperature of about 350-500° F. Breath out and then pull air through the pipe as you dip the nail into the hot bucket.

An electric dab rig takes the torch and the guessing of temperature out of the mix and does that part for you. Some people use a device called a hot knife to better manipulate their wax or a carb cap to help better tap smoke within the bucket.

I’m not a ss employee but I did recently quit weed for a couple months for surgeries and I’m 20 been smoking similar to u since 15/16 and the best thing that helped me was cutting back the amount I smoke as much as possible then just forcing myself to only do eddies every so often and then just quitting it all for a bit. Was very difficult the first few days without anything I won’t lie but not as hard as I thought fr. Once your body is mostly sober it can be really relaxing

That’s actually really helpful, thank you! Any recommendation for the mg to shoot for with eddies eventually? That might be the route I go down

Once I felt like my system was pretty much clean I could feel my mind and body was just in a better place and I felt consistently good with the exception of missing the routine and social aspect of smoking. Honestly it’s not easy but I’m sure you’ll be able to pull through. It can also help finding like a flavored like plastic thing they sell on TikTok to help quitting vaping too. You got this though trust!

I’d say once you can get pretty fried off of a 10mg or less you’re in a good spot to just quit cold turkey. I used to need at least 25 to feel *anything* and even then it was light asf
