They don't seem so easy to get in Europe, but I'll take a look.

Thanks a lot! I'll try that method. I've done the decarb process, but my oven's temperature wasn't stable. It kind of worked anyway and I tested it. But the effects were weird. I experienced an altered state of consciousness which felt psychedelic, but didn't induce an awakening or any insights. My thoughts and intellect were altered, but they still felt like my own. It didn't really increase my state of consciousness (it didn't lower it either). It also induced some panic because the state wasn't comfortable, it hit harder than I expected after a few failed attempts, and my heart was pounding in a way I had never experienced before. It also made me cough at the beginning because it was too harsh on my throat. It felt like the dose was too high and too low at the same time. Too high because of the overall discomfort I felt, and too low because it didn't induce any breakthrough. On my previous attempt, I had experienced light psychedelic effects including love and warmth in my body, but then it went in that weird direction after I vaped a stronger dose ten minutes later. The effects lasted for about an hour and started to wear off before that. I'm not sure I can draw conclusions about the effects of weed on me from this session alone.

NDEs also involve the realization that death is imaginary. They are an awakening. People who have them realize that reality is infinite and that they will never die. It doesn't make sense to call that a hallucination.

That's really interesting. Did many viewers click on your profile from that clip? I like that new people will eventually discover your forum and your long-form videos. They are such a gift. It's great that you're reaching more people.

@Leo Gura I've done a bit more research on making a vape cart using Liquify Pro and THCA isolate, and I read that recrystallization can happen if it’s not decarbed. Do you think decarbing is necessary (by simply heating the raw powder before adding any liquid), and have you ever tried it that way? Also, you mentioned a ratio of about 60:40 for weed resins, but does that same ratio apply to pure THCA isolate? I’m not sure what ratio would be appropriate to avoid leaks or clogging while also keeping it smooth to vape. I still don't have a good idea of what proportions would or wouldn't work in this case. For example, I've read that terpenes shouldn't make up more than 10% of the final mixture, but I don't know whether that's actually true. If it is, the mixture would be extremely potent, and I'm not sure that would work in a cart.

I wonder what effect it will have on me.

What is weed like for you, and what is so good about it? How does it compare to other psychedelics?

One very gruesome way to die is to be restrained and dismembered alive. I've seen videos of this, and it looks incredibly painful, especially since these crimes are often committed with machetes that barely cut. It can take a long time. It feels much more real to watch a video than to simply imagine an attack. I've also seen a video of someone being killed by a bear, but it wasn't as graphic. It's not one of the cases that immediately comes to mind when I think about suffering, even though it must be horrible. I also saw a video of a man's genitals being eaten by a dog. That one is gruesome as well. It's easy to find [dog eating man's dick] if anyone wants to reflect on transcending suffering. (For the record, I didn't search for it myself, I came across it on Facebook years ago).

@Leo Gura Do you ever wonder what a biological child of yours would have been like? Is that something you've had to accept, that you'll never be able to know, or did you simply never care about it?

Honestly, Pepsi tastes better than Coca-Cola. Not liking Pepsi is conformity

I just learned that they no longer offer the testing service for the time being because they didn't receive funding to continue the project. I feel a lot more at peace knowing that. Thanks for your feedback on this.

Probably. I just learned that there's a place where you can get any substance tested for free in my country, but it's about three hours away and only open one evening a week (and even less than that in the summer). It's not practical at all for me to go, but now that I know this option exists, I feel like I should somehow try to make it happen. Before I knew about it, I wasn't as concerned since there wasn't anything more I could do.

Thanks a lot. The seller seems credible, but there aren't many reviews. I got it from here (if that's okay to share). It's a good thing though that it's not likely to be laced with anything else. I guess I'll try to vape a very small amount to make sure it's safe. I'm also a bit concerned about labeling mistakes and things like that.

Thanks for your response. I didn't think about that. Though I ordered it from the Netherlands, where it seems to be in a gray area.

Do you use test kits for your THC-A, or send a sample to a lab to confirm its purity?
