They're just buds, and without the proper extraction equipment, there's not much you can do with it other than make some very weak edibles. I suppose you could also smoke it, but then you'd skunk up the entire neighborhood and not even get that* high.

10 years ago I would be salivating over this picture, but with legalization being a thing in many parts of the world for so long now, it's kind of hard to get excited over buds when you're used to high-terpene concentrates that are easily 5x stronger than flower.

    Yeah i saw the clarification, everyone's kinda piling ontop of you and I don't think u 100% deserve it, I was just trying to offer a bit of outside refection incase u needed it. Sounds like u got it under control lol, but like maybe don't call people boomers that just enjoy a joint or prefer to smoke. Shit effects everyone differently and different terps hit people people in varying ways based on method. Happy token

    Not exactly. 1g of concentrate will last me almost a week. Bud just isn't that potent unless you're a Boomer, or someone who really doesn't smoke weed unless you're around people who have it. (Commonly known as the "moocher smoker")

    Not to mention that inhaling all that chlorophyll and tar is not good for your lungs, plain and simple. With a proper extract, the only things going into your lungs are terpenes and THC.

    Protect your health, and say no to cannabis buds.

    I almost exclusively vape, and I am a daily smoker for over 15 years at this point; but every once in a while I smoke a bowl of buds and it still gets me ripped. Sometimes even more than vaping, since there's a better synergetic effect from smoking the whole plant and not just a concentrate that's like 80-95% THC.

    Plus it smells and tastes better unless they add flavor to the concentrate because the natural taste is affected by the process of making it.

    Given what you told me, it seems to me that you're simply buying shitty oil. I don't blame you, a lot of cannabis oils suck, especially the 80-95% THC junk. The people producing that shit only care about making the number go up. That's why buds still wreck your shit; cause they naturally contain the terpenes you're not getting from your vape.

    You need to be pickier with your oil, and only go with full spectrum extracts derived from fresh cannabis. None of that frozen or botanical terp shit. With the right concentrate, you won't even miss buds.

    I specifically get top-shelf live resin. A gram of which can last me 2 weeks, since I only take 1-2 hits a day. A bowl of bud will get me as high, but not last as long. That's really the only difference I see.

    without the proper extraction equipment

    All you need is a a proper filter and you can shift the kief out and press it. Can get one from most fabric stores, just right micron size. Now you've got traditional hash.

    That's not as effective but arguably simpler equipment than this next one. Pick up acetone and a glass/metal container and bowl (oh and a metal sieve if you've not got one, but coffee filters will do as well) from a hardware store. Crush the bud, soak it in acetone, pour the acetone into the bowl and then let it evaporate. That's oil. With a little tuning, you can make extremely high quality extracts this way.

    So idk, you're probably thinking of some elaborate CO2 extraction systems as "proper extraction equipment" but none of that jazz is necessary for high quality extracts. We've been making them for literally a few thousand years by hand, lol. Although making charas is out of the question pretty much with dry weed.

    Doesn't even look that great from the parts you can see and the fact it's definitely been in those packs for a long time, it's probably throat scratching med-tier over-dry weed. Meh.
