Honestly i probably smoke 50/50 Concentrate/Flowers and i love both!
Concentrates are good at putting you to that next level that's almost unattainable when you smoke flowers consistently over years. They have great medicinal benefits, especially in my experience with indica concentrates and needed pain relief. I feel personally that they CAN be very economical, dabs get you more for less. They are great when you are in a rush, dabs allow a person to rip anywhere from a bowl to a fat blunt or more in a rip. The taste is impeccable, i mean not saying flowers cant be... But in my opinion properly made concentrates will always taste better then the original flowers used.
I love flowers for there nice relaxing smoke, especially for the fact that now that i vape oils flowers are less effective in turn making the high a lot calmer and relaxing, something that i really enjoy. Not only that but in my opinion there is nothing better then smoking a big fat nicely rolled joint filled with copious amounts of delicious ganja over a nice circle of close friends. That's the one area i feel concentrates lack, the social aspect. I mean yeah it's nice to dab your friends up fat and watch them get as high as they did when they first started blazing it... But overall in my experience dabbing people generally leads to getting everyone to high... I really only dab it with my seasoned friends, smoke flowers with everyone else. Not only that but i just really enjoy the act of smoking herb, watching tv blazing it, hiking blazing it, painting blazing it, golfing blazing it, eating blazing it, etc.
Id say overall my personal favorite is to get things started with a dab, then just chill on a bowl over the next hour or so..
Also, anyone else notice the "flowers" word being used A LOT more since the oil movement started getting bigger? I mean ive always heard it used scarcely but not near as much as ive been hearing it lately... I mean i never used to use it and i probably used it 10 times in that post right there. Overall i like it though because that's legitimately what it is.
