The movement to completely change the way you get high

By Cece Lederer on February 15th, 2015

“I’ve got something special for us,” A.J. said as I cued up my recording device. “Have you ever done dabs?”

A.J. is about close to weed royalty as you can get. If you’ve heard of Sour Diesel, you’ve heard of him. He’s cultivated some of the most potent strains of marijuana and has large-scale grow facilities clamoring for his advice.

Careful to keep it horizontal, he unzipped a rolling suitcase and took out a blowtorch. Then came the “rig.” At first it looked like a regular water pipe, but instead of a slide, there was a ceramic “nail” that resembled a bird bath for a dollhouse.

Then came the jars. “The flavor is in the liquid,” he said as he put a jar of brown oil on my coffee table. “This is what’s known as pure THC A.” Out came a jar of crystals that looked like the spice from Dune. “I mean probably not 100 percent pure, but it’s probably at least 88 to 89. It’s pretty pure.”

The ease and convenience, along with no need to ingest copious amounts of smoke and tars, would seem to make the entire experience far more hassle free and much more enjoyable. Me? If I could get high on such a dab with little troubles, I'd just consume ever more copious amounts.

Like I noted, good to say I'm beyond those recreational needs. Hope to hell I never need it for medicinal purposes (but then, I hope to live the balance of my days without need of pharmaceuticals of any sort).
