Isn't it a great feeling!? I live in MI, and concentrates were banned up until December. (not sure on the date the bills were signed) But in the time they weren't available, I learned I could make shit just as good as I was paying $60/Gram for. Once I made a little Vac Purger, it was really on!
I'm glad MI finally got a couple things ironed out in the program. If I remember correctly they made Dispensaries legal as well. Hopefully it wont be long until we get back to where we were before they started cracking down
You must be a fan of the entourage effect, I love my concentrates but like you said, NOTHING compares to fatty filled with Organically grown love-bud. BUT, there is a flip side to the coin.
I know for myself, when the damaged nerves in my back start doing their hardcore firing from too much physical activity or moving wrong or whatever, (doesnt matter what caused it, that shit just plain-old-straight-up hurts like the dickens [BTW, WTF are the Dickens?]) I usually want to 'get my levels up' A.S.A.P. to get any sort of relief. which is where concentrates are a godsend. Instead of smoking a joint to myself, I can do a couple dabs and feel better. NTM the organic-love-bud makes for damn good errl.
I've had times when I may be at a friends house or have a friend or two over, and had to say "sorry guys but I gotta smoke this one to myself." My friends all know that this is my medicine, and most have seen what I go through without it, so they 100% understand. Usually by that point I've smoked a couple joints with them anyway, but I still feel like a shitty friend smoking a J to myself with a friend on each side of me.
