I got a medical card here in LA and the prices are outrageous. Getting a dablicator with full spectrum oil seems to be the most cost effective. Trouble is I can't seem to figure out how to use it.

At first I just ate it but I think I wasted $90 because I felt nothing and I don't think it was decarbed.

Next I got some refillable 510 thread vapes and a small syringe to fill it. That has been a pain but it at least works a bit.

How am I supposed to use this stuff? Is it all the same or are there different kinds? Is it decarbed at all or not meant for vaping?

Dude the cheapest good bud you'll find is at the shadiest of places. Don't go to the mainstream dispensaries or chains, go to the actual medical dispensaries with your rec, no tax at those either. If you want to stick with concentrate find a place with deals, a lot of places have crazy ones on specific days of the week, like BoGo or everything is half off. In this city, you can also just makes friends with a grower and get flower for super cheap or at cost.

Unless I am misunderstanding LA law, I have a prescription to a specific Dispensary so I don't really get to shop around. I could go back to my "dr" for a new prescription but i doubt thats gonna be free.

Unless they changed the medical card system in the last 3 years, that's not true. You can use that rec at any dispensary and they'll waive the state tax. At medical ones they waive both state and county tax. Check the rec and see if it specifies a dispensary location, they used to just specify the doctor you got it from to ensure it's real.

Hmm ill try to figure it out. I never even got the rec iirc, they sent it directly to the dispensary.
