MMJ: Hole-istic treatment

What’s the fastest, most efficient way to clean your pipes and bongs? My mom is coming over and I want to have everything spotless. - Anne L. Retentif

Pour some rubbing alcohol into your bong. Pour in some salt. Some folks like a coarse or a kosher salt. It doesn’t really matter. Seal the holes in your bong. Shake vigorously for two or three minutes. Rinse well and enjoy; your bong should be really clean. I’ve heard some people like to heat up their alcohol in the microwave before pouring it in, but I don’t think it will help.

Tell your mom I said High.

Why do I get hives when I smoke? - GreeneKiwi (via Twitter)

I am not a doctor, but you are most likely allergic to weed. There isn’t much you can do except not smoke weed.

Have you previously covered the medical benefits of CBG? - Cain Anne B. Noyd

CBG is a tricky cannabinoid, because it is a precursor to THC and CBD. That is to say that when a cannabis plant goes into flower, it starts out by producing CBG, or cannabigerol. Time and ultraviolet light turn that CBG into THC and CBD. So the more THC and CBD a plant has, the less CBG you can get out of it. You could harvest the plant about two-thirds of the way through the flower cycles, I suppose. But why, you ask? Because CBG shows great promise in the fights against cancer, glaucoma and a bunch of other nasty stuff. Plus it will give you the munchies. That’s why.

Mickey Kush is a good example of a CBG-heavy strain and there are a few breeders working on creating more.

Can you get a recipe for a THC suppository? Asking for a friend. - Ima Frend

Yes, I can. Butt first, I would like to mention that many people find cannabis suppositories to be beneficial. Boofing THC is a good way to get a large dose of THC into the bloodstream, without making you uncomfortably high. That’s because the THC is absorbed into the bloodstream directly. Medicinal cannabis pioneer Rick Simpson pioneered the use of cannabis suppositories to help cancer patients avoid the side effects of THC megadoses. You can find cannabis suppositories in many dispensaries, but you can also make them at home. Check out inhalemd.com for recipes.
