Hey guys, this is already posted on my profile but I thought I'd put it here as well, and I added more to it.
If I wasn't a regular user of medical Cannabis my life would be incredibly painful, and my mind, work, and friendships would be tortured. Cannabis makes it so I can enjoy my young life while I'm still young. I know this site is full of wise old stoners and I am listening carefully to their tales and lessons.
Ever since I was a young boy I loved playing in the dirt and that soon translated to gardening. At the age of 10 I had a wicked 4' x 8' outdoor fenced garden (that I convinced my dad to build). I grew strawberries, watermelon, dill, potatoes, and cucumbers (and the nauseating pickle attempt that followed). I loved gardening. Then puberty hit. Fast forward almost 12 years and I miraculously managed a 1 oz Ak-47 harvest with almost no resources and knowledge. Here's a bad pic under 20x.
Ever since that harvest any new attempts at further grows have been hopeless. I have been busy, but I knew I wasn't doing enough for my plants. I came here a week ago to learn more about DWC in anticipation of my newest grow, and I was learning something new with every click. I fell in love with the long-term community you guys have here and I know I had to make an account. Heads up, I have never been in a forum environment but I intend to follow the rules. Doesn't mean I won't fuck up lol.
Favorite way to consume cannabis: RAW 1 1/4 organic hemp cones! Take the poll, I want to know what you think!
Favorite music: rap, but I was raised on classic rock
First smoked cannabis: Too young! but not toooo young. believe it or not, I first consumed cannabis through dabs. after a small dab, I felt nothing. They said, "some people don't feel it the first time". As an avid listener of Joe Rogan, I said "that's horse ****. Give me another". Infamous last words. I was in love.
Favorite time to smoke: in the AM, I'm a morning person.
3 Favorite activities while high: talk with friends, write lyrics, listen/ watch podcasts
What smoking tips can a young new member to 420magazine offer?
1. We're all familiar with the bong, but adding a $20-$30 perc off of amazon makes the hits easier, less coughing, and a more flavorful taste. (just make sure you get either 14mm or 18mm to fit your stem). Check this out!
2. Moles! If you are not avert to smoking tobacco, maybe I can import this piece of college wisdom to you. Moles are just smoking tobacco mixed with cannabis in a bowl. usually a 50-50 mix. start slow because you can get a wicked head rush especially if you don't use nicotine regularly. I recommend smoking out of a bong, to make the hits tolerable. Of course, it turns the bowl to a green-brown mix, changing it from a bowl to a 'mole'. I am sure I'm not the first person to hear about/do this, so if you call it something different let me know!
Indica, Hybrid, or Sativa? Indica alllll the way. Sativa sometimes gives me panic attacks, thanks to GAD.
Unique fact: To add to my list of ailments, during my rough period with anxiety I was also diagnosed with Gilbert's syndrome. This is actually quite harmless but to explain it simply, my liver doesn't pull out dead cells from my eyes as well as they should, so the whites of my eyes will sometimes turn yellow when I'm stressed, hungry, or tired.
This is important because it tends to block out any eye redness. I have to get very zooted before my eyes turn even the slightest tint of red. Talk about a superpower.
Thanks for reading. I can't wait to learn more.
About RedZedHead:
Over the past year I have been diagnosed with GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) and cannabis has saved my life through that painful period. I am since on SSRI's and cannabis helps me control my panic attacks. Ever since middle school, I struggled with gut-wrenching stomach pain. My very busy recession-parents waved it off for many years. It wasn't until I was diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrom) that I knew I had to watch what I was eating.If I wasn't a regular user of medical Cannabis my life would be incredibly painful, and my mind, work, and friendships would be tortured. Cannabis makes it so I can enjoy my young life while I'm still young. I know this site is full of wise old stoners and I am listening carefully to their tales and lessons.

I thought I had a better photo of ak-47 during its final days. It's actually my phone...
