I mean, not literally 50. Like 3 times the potency, maybe 5 or 6 times the potency of whatever your state average black market, grey market, or illegally grown crop is. It's important to clear up the FUD here because it has led to some backwards progress for legalization in states like Colorado recently.

Let's say you use a 0.5 g dab which has a THC content of 70% (most dabs are either 1-gram or 0.5 g). The wax has 0.35 g (350 mg of THC), but you could lose up to one-third of it when vaporizing. If this happens, you’ll end up with roughly 235 mg of THC per hit (if you can finish the whole dab in one hit). Someone without a THC tolerance will be completely satisfied with a 5mg dose, total. Thats 47 doses out of the 236mg the stoner _absorbed_

  I don’t know anyone who is doing half gram dabs lol. That’s like $25 in one hit. A gram of concentrate is supposed to last a while (20+ dabs) not a single hit or two.

    A gram of wax lasts me probably 50+ hits. It seriously lasts a long time. A tiny little crumb you can pinch out of the jar is more than enough for a big hit

  Just have to say, a half gram dab is a fat dab. I'm sure some people do vaporize all of that at once. However, even with complete inhalation and 'swishing' it in their lungs, they will be wasting a lot of it on the exhale.

    'Swishing' in their lungs? I've never heard of that, how does someone even do that?

      I presume he's referring to repeatedly exhaling and inhaling a tiny amount to keep circulating smoke in the lungs without losing any to the air. Can't speak for its effectiveness.

  I bought and smoked a 'CBD' joint the other day. 0.47% THC, 15% CBD. I think the lady told me a typical joint is 15-25% THC. I was uncomfortably high.

    Had you ever smoked marijuana prior to that?

    FWIW, it's not like a cigarette, you don't need to smoke the whole thing in one go. You can get little storage tubes and take a couple puffs and you should be much better off. I've had J's last multiple days like this.

  Dude, one gram of wax does for a year. I can’t imagine how awful doing half in one go would be. It’s true though that concentrated sources like this make it technically possible to ingest amounts that weren’t feasible before, I suppose.
