      Different Marijuana STRAINS, Methods of Consumption, Times of Day, etc. - Effects on LDing / Recall

      Thisclaimer: To those of you who classify yourselves as severely 'AD(H)D', or something to that effect, you may want to de-classsify yourself, or scroll down to the last paragraph-and-a-statement. Likewise the latter to those of you who start to feel the rumblings of redundancy in your brains.

      Okay, so I have seen quite a few threads discussing the relationship between marijuana and dreaming, but these threads contained a lot of posts such as "I smoke pot, and my recall sucksss blahhhh"... Not exactly in-depth description.
      Yes, I have observed the number of people who identify marijuana and (lucid) dreaming as conflicting elements, and the 'generalized' linkage of marijuana ingestion/consumption/enjoyment/massive-bong-rippage-from-atop-ladders/etc with poor dream recall, but I think this all warrants deeper 'inspection', if you will. Looking deeper than that 12-foot bong shaped like a dragon wearing a miniskirt you have tucked away in your closet. (My closet? No...)

      Anyways, there is a lot more complexity and diversity in the world of pot than the depth (or lack thereof) of what I have commonly experienced in cannabis conversations and commentations. There is overall a great deal of variety in the compounds and their quantities of which different crops and strains of cannabis consist. It goes quite a ways beyond the simple 'THC', that often gets tossed around like some lame catch-phrase on 'TV'. Other cannabinoids, and still other compounds, such as terpenes (hydrocarbons that people have come to find affecting not just the taste and smell of different bud, but also the high itself, and the medicinal application) take a role in the effects of cannabis. (I pulled up a couple pages quick, regarding terpenes for you. Interesting stuff: Understanding Terpenes and how they affect your high, How to improve the quality of the high from a low quality bud - the magic of Terpenes)


      "Ingestion of essential oils beta-myrcene and limonene can inhibit inflammation. This is one reason Myrcene in cannabis is so important!
      Myrcene is highly antimicrobial, antiseptic, analgesic, bactericidal, and an antioxidant."



      From what I have found, there is significant difference in different strains' effectiveness in treating various ailments and discomforts. There is significant difference in the potency of different marijuana crops across the world. There is a large difference in the smoking habits/schedules/420clocks/whatever of different people. There is the examination of smoking as a method of consumption in the first place. What about those of you who vaporize, take THC oil, eat edibles, 'solar puff' (smoking with a dose of sunshine and a (magnifying) glass), make tea, combine different methods, etc?

      I am particularly interested (and I imagine quite a few of you are as well) in the marijuana consumption of those who experience positive effects (or lack of negative effects) in the ways of lucid dreaming and dream recall. What strains have you been using, what method(s) do you use for taking in your cannabis? Approximately how 'much' (yes, there can be a huge variance here due to all the factors), how often, what time of day, your sleep habits, time periods and commas between smoking, (what else did you consume?) do you like spicy lemonade, etc? Do you partake during WILD/WBTB/...? I don't have anything to share about pot and dreams myself at this time, but...

      I am curious to see what might emerge here.
