This is what happened to me and what I've literally just replied to someone who is asking the same question.
"I think I was hooked on that shit at one stage this guy I was using was tainting his with spice to get me hooked I realised after years, sometimes I got really hot and would sweat majorly, I collapsed a few times too, I had horrible stomach cramps too I grow my own now. I was buying bud form it looked like normal weed but almost smelt like chemicals they use in painting and decorating so forward. Took me years to realise only got on to when I used other people and when I first grew my own it hit home the high is so different, spice buds fry your brain. High feels dirty, like a clouded, foggy mind not like THC. It's a horrible place to be mate. Also when I quit it his buds I had panic attacks too, I never used to be like that only now am I coming back from it all and realised how many years of my life I shit away in a Haze cloud of bullshit fake weed, I had mates at the time who didn't believe it, they probably still smoking it now. I don't associate with any old geezers anymore I set the movement and left the old behind started fresh on the new me with my own clean weed and nothing can compare."

We are starting a cannabis company and plan on offering pre-rolls, we bought an STM canna that we love. But I'm having a hard time achieving the right grind, we didn't have the funds to invest $5,000+ into a proper grinding machine. So im hoping that with enough trial and error and the help of the lovely people on Reddit I can achieve the proper grind with the Ninja food processor or something equivalent.
More info: We have done a lot of research on joints that sell in dispensaries in neighboring states. We'll buy two of each strain/brand, then cut 1 open and see how fine the grind is, and smoke the other one to see how it smokes. We've seen that pre-rolls that have a smaller grind burn better. The cherry burns uniformly, and the ash forms like a cigarette almost. They tend to not canoe and make for a smooth smoking experience for new and experienced joint smokers.
When watching videos for the commercial grinders that cost $5,000+ their grind doesn't look that small either, which I found odd. So I've been trying to achieve that small grind, of course without over-grinding and turning it into dust, with a Ninja food processor, magic bullet, and coffee grinder. The Ninja seems to work the best overall.
So my questions particularly about, the Ninja I was hoping for help with: When grinding nugs, what speed and for how long do you put it in for. I also can't seem to get all the tiny nug pieces to break up. For example I did roughly an ounce of nugs, and I'd say 21 grams ground pretty small, but still not as small as the grind in some of the well-burning prerolls. And the other 7 grams were these tiny nugs that were barely too big to fit through my sifting screen.
Also, what speed and how long do you do for shake pre-rolls.
Can anyone recommend a sifting screen size that is a good size for joint weed to fall through? The ones I've found are either too small (1,100) and only let kief through, barely at that. Or too big, im not sure of the too big sizes as they came with the STM.
STM suggests you pack the pre-rolls at 7%-7.5% moisture content, I've been grinding it before it gets to that moisture range then letting it lower in moisture. Someone suggested that before I grind I store the flower with a 67% Boveda pack, but I'm not sure how long I should store it before I grind
Hi all. Recently started using prescribed MJ after years of black market use. Was told by the consultant to vape , but this does not help my MS pain. I find a joint with tobacco works better. Not healthy though. Anyone come across the same issue?
