It's really not that bad

Less harmful than a beer and still it's illegal. The war on weed started during the 1920's and has recently turned in a new direction. Advances in science and technology have proven this plant is indeed medicinal. Laws are beginning to change and two states have legalized, and are now taxing marijuana. Now the rate on taxable goods in Michigan is six cents to the dollar. Weed is taxed at ten times that rate, sixty cents per dollar, a bit unreasonable and "high" wouldn't you say? Fortunately people are so damn happy about legal weed they're paying absolute top dollar for their product. Michigan obviously has not yet fully legalized this god given plant, but upcoming elections are sure to spark controversy. The change in legal status has and will continue to keep innocent people out of jail and generating millions in tax revenue.

Now lets get something straight... marijuana is nothing likes how it is advertised on television or in movies. The first few times people smoke it or ingest it they'll have common side affects such as impaired motor skills, cotton mouth, uncontrollable laughter at times, blurred vision, faster heart beat, and drowsiness. For some reason, certain individuals will become extremely paranoid and those are the ones who give weed a bad name. Everyone is different and will reacts differently to foreign substances put into the body. Some people cannot tolerate weed and should simply stay away from it.

 The body does begin to form a tolerance toward the psychoactive chemicals (THC & CBD) found in marijuana. So naturally the more often you smoke the more it's going to take to reach the same euphoric state of high. Science and stoner intuition has created a new form of smoke-able substance referred to as "wax". Basically wax is a form of hash designed to be dabbed. It is a concentrate so the level of THC exceeds any naturally grown marijuana. Good quality weed contains 12-25% THC, low quality wax contains at least 40%. The higher quality wax's can come close to 100% THC content because of extremely expensive convection ovens used to make the product.  Dabbing is a form of smoking that is way more effective that anything else. Instead of smoking a joint to yourself, you can take one hit of wax and you're gone. The process of making the concentrate is rather dangerous and extremely illegal.

The process of taking a dab is rather inconvenient but worth the extra time. Instead of burning it like marijuana, wax is incinerated on a glowing red nail. This nail is heated up with a blow torch until the temperature exceeds 250 degree's then the concentrate is dabbed. The potent smoke travels through the rig and into the users lungs and into the bloodstream. Within seconds you are on your ass. Dabbing is something an unseasoned smoker shouldn't even consider trying. We'll dive deeper into the world of marijuana and concentrates in the near future.
