What does the 15% refer to?
THC content. Tetra Hydra Cannabinol. The psychoactive component of Mary Jane.

It's actually 15% cbd, a non psychoactive ingredient.  Thc content is <0.19% making it so weak that you would have to use a mountain of it for it to have any psychoactive effect if at all. Lots of people use cbd for various reasons. Some swear by it for arthritis.

Often thought of visiting such an establishment in Barcelona. However, I'm generally on a day trip and one wouldn't want to navigate airports stinking of cannabis so I've yet to try any. The last joint I smoked was over 20 years ago in Amsterdam. TBH, such is my naivety I wouldn't know how to roll one.
Title: Re: Weed
Post by: Horse on March 24, 2025, 01:53:18 pm
You can buy them pre rolled. In Amsterdam you can choose between ones with or without tobacco.  Not sure about Barcelona though. I'd imagine it's a similar set up.
Title: Re: Weed
Post by: Rat Catcher on March 24, 2025, 02:00:17 pm
Yes, we got them pre-rolled in Amsterdam all those years ago. If you were rolling your own how would you go about it... with tobacco, with a filter...?
Title: Re: Weed
Post by: Horse on March 24, 2025, 02:57:51 pm
Iffin I was in Amsterdam,  where it's legal, I would roll with a small bit of tobacco and a filter. The filter is not like a cigarette filter but rather a bit of rolled up cardboard.  It's more to stop the joint from collapsing at the end making it difficult to get a pull than to stop toxins or tar from entering your lungs. After all you don't want filtering out what your trying to smoke now do you.
Title: Re: Weed
Post by: Rat Catcher on March 24, 2025, 04:05:08 pm
I guess not. Would you (legally, of course) source ingredients similar to what many of Free Now's regular clients in the Northside suburbs would refer to as a "bag of green" and, if so, what ratio of green to tobacco would you aim for?
Title: Re: Weed
Post by: Horse on March 24, 2025, 04:29:29 pm
Again, if I was in a jurisdiction where it is legal, the first one would be mostly green with a small bit of baccy to help it burn evenly.  As the night progresses a bit more baccy and less green would suffice as you're really only topping up that first strong one. Kinda like going the pub, ordering a double whiskey and then switching to pints of beer. It's all about moderation.

If'n a customer was to give you a present, as in a small pea sized nodge, as in enough fer 2 joints, then best to just use a single cigarette of your own fer the tobacco, and as Horse eludes a rolled up piece of cardboard known as a Roche is best used fer the filter.
Title: Re: Weed
Post by: Rat Catcher on March 25, 2025, 09:20:32 am
It should be legal really. I doubt trading in and consumption is confined to the northside or even to the city. I'm just familiar with the northside suburbs and R district in particular's long established blind eye policy to open dealing in those parts which also extends to cocaine. I would suggest that, these days, the illegal narcotics trade is actually far bigger than the alcohol trade nationwide. In fact, on a global scale, the Kinahan OCG is the largest multinational to have it's roots in Ireland by a long way. I'm not sure how proud we are or should be of that but I really don't see the point of "decriminalisation" i.e. turning a blind eye to the (strictly speaking) illegal trade. All that achieves is enhancing the profits made by so-called OCGs and promoting turf wars resulting in the pointless deaths of scores of kids from deprived backgrounds. Surely, as far as cannabis (at least) is concerned, the trade should be licensed with the quality of the product appropriately regulated.

I delivered a lovely Romanian prostitute from D1 to Baldoyle for Free Now on Saturday night... they're not all pickpockets. In fact, the vast majority of Romanians I know are decent, honest, hard working folk.

I didn't know the prostitute, I was just delivering her for Free Now...   still she may well be hard working, she was certainly fielding many calls en route. If I was a younger man I might have liked to know her, at least for 43 seconds in lieu the fare! Like I said, the majority of those I know are decent, honest, hard working folk.

In my many travels with Jackies Green Army while a lot younger I never experienced being associated with Irish Knackers, quiet the opposite actually, we got a very warm welcome almost everywhere we went (Instanbul and London excluded !).

Lots of non travellers look like travellers as well, any fat man with a beard and women caked in false tan and fake eyelashes.

Real Romanians are lovely people in my experience and even the Romas are usually better behaved than Irish Travellers, have never had an issue with them in the taxi, they even tip a lot of the time.

Not cheap at $36 for a pack of 5 excluding gratuity... and the fuckers tried to choke me to death! I tried re-rolling them with some tobacco from a regular cigarette - figuring if I could make a joint there I could make one anywhere - with some success... it was less harsh but still some way from being a smooth or comfortable smoke and there seemed to be a decent enough
(light headed) buzz off it that one wouldn't normally associate with alcohol, albeit after consumption of alcohol.

Indeed. It worked for me for a few years without issue. It was only when the supplier I bought the eLiquid from went out of business that it changed. I tried a few other suppliers and all of their products (allegedly the same VG/PG mix as the original one I used) were very rough on my throat. I'm not a cannabis smoker so I've no idea whether that trying to choke me could be down to damage caused by the vapes or just down to me having a sensitive throat but, as I said, normal cigarettes don't bother my throat at all. In fact, I'm quite comfortably smoking one of the $1.25/pack yokes I bought in JFK as I type!

Bimbo's do a comprehensive range of vapes I hear.

Also, there's a fear created for every product out there.

Might be the nicotine strength in the vape?  I tried vaping and the shop guy suggested avoiding the highest 18mg/ml because it would rip the throat of me, allegedly.  He suggested starting at 12 mg/ml and puffing like crazy.  Worked for me until the Covid lockdown when I went a bit stir-crazy  >:(

The last one I tried (a few years ago now) was 9mg, 90%VG / 10%PG... I still have the bottle!

I think the one that worked for me was 75%VG... used to get it from a place in Donabate.
