Hello, I just found this forum (and thread) searching around for info on THCV.
This is my first post here. I found out about THCV accidentally. I hadn't smoked anything in some years, and a friend told me about this strain he was using that he said gave him energy and motivation. He gave me some, and I was kind of hesitant because I thought it would give me munchies, and I was severely overweight.So I tried a tiny hit in a pipe. Boy, it was strong. Lunch time rolled around where I would usually stuff myself after a few
aperitivi, and I wasn't really hungry, and the thought of eating kind of turned me off. Wow - this is great! I kept using it, and now over a year later, I have lost 65 pounds. The strain? Durban Poison. It not only killed my appetite, it made me feel satiated after eating very little. It also turned me off to alcohol, and helped me develop better eating habits, so my dependence on the smoke lessened.
Last week I harvested a couple of ounces of Jack the Ripper f2 from Subcool seeds. Got it from a cool US seller too. It's in cure right now. I only have room for a very small grow, so I use a "space bucket" of my own design. Three plants in a trash can with lights on top, grown in an ultra simple hydroponic setup. There are pics, but I don't know if I'm allowed to link them here.
I've read through the two threads on this subject with much interest, you guys are light years ahead of where I am, but I thought I would share my experience. I'm a real novice at this. Right now I have some Novarine seeds on order from Spain.
Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen any mention of the terpine
humulene, which is also claimed to be an appetite suppressant. I just found out about this the other day, and am looking for more info on it.
