Seems like you're having a pretty strong, even emotional reaction. That would be why.

Wherever, whoever, what matters is that you most likely had a serial wall shitter.

On the one hand, I'd recommend RSO/FECO. It's a full spectrum product that is already decarbed in a format that makes it very easy to do dosage math. It typically comes in a glass syringe with portions marked on the side. It would allow you to make very reasonable new user doses without worrying about overwhelming new users. A good starter dose is 5~10mg for most people, so very low in the grand scheme of things to an experienced user.

On the other hand, if you have dispensary access, you could just ask for their best tasting 5mg or candy bar. A good budtender will know what's good in their dispensary. I could promise you tasty edibles from mine.

Online discussions I've seen on this subject make it sound like it's very location specific when one is routinely worse than the other. I switched public restrooms when I transitioned ~4.5 years ago. My experience has been that both peak at the same level of gross, but men's restrooms were gross more often. A busy enough restroom will inevitably have a user who doesn't know how to manage their body in public, but men's restrooms always seemed just a little more casually dirty. So maybe you should have been wondering who the fuck among your coworkers kept blowing up the women's room x_x Because it's not a gender thing. You just had a serial wall shitter who happened to be a woman.

Tbh I'm quite jealous of people who just enjoy that sort of default blend. Too much Limonene makes me incredibly anxious, like I have a head full of sick bees. My wife is kind of that way. I can keep an eye on her moods and bring home weed that's just right for her, but she'll never be entirely unhappy with a big stash of weed. She'll just need more of something that is less specifically ideal in the moment. There are cannabis products that will induce a panic attack in me if I take too much and cannabis products that will make me feel heavenly every time. If the top two terps are 1.5% Limonene and 0.98% Terpinoline, that's a pretty green panic attack waiting to happen. If you have digestive issues, you should look into CBG and Humulene heavy strains. CBG is known for helping with pain and digestion and inflammation. Humulene is known for reducing appetite and counteracting the munchies, and I find that it settles my stomach if it's not unsettled from being too empty.

I wouldn't say that it means almost nothing, but it means a lot less than most users think. I know what terps and minor cannabinoids I like and how they affect me, but I also know that flower under ~20% THC will leave me too lucid to reliably get to sleep, which is my primary medical use. But you definitely can't go off that number alone like so many customers. It's not a perfect analogy, but I think of it kind of as the THC percentage being the base magic power of the flower/character, while the terps and minors are the spells and elements and shit that you actually use. That measure is both essential to the effects of the flower and next to useless by itself, like the magic stat on a character with no spells. A flower with high THC and low terps is like a character with high magic power fueling low level spells.

What is absolutely correct is that the worst, laziest consumers don't know about any other number and refuse to listen or learn. People who know that they matter, who enjoy them all and tell me to pick them something good, I respect. People who tell me "CBD doesn't do anything for me!" and insist on the flower with the one big number when I suggest a CBN edible to help with their insomnia I do not respect. "I need the highest for the lowest" is worse than "I only smoke an unstable dihybrid cross from the 70s" but they frequently go hand in hand.

What sort of effects do you like/are you looking for in cannabis? If you let me know what we're looking for, maybe tell me a little about yourself, I can probably point you in the right direction to start experimenting. Consultation is my favorite part of my job <3

Caryophyllene and Limonene and Myrcene are all great indicators that a particular strain will be good for my needs.

Those are actually three of the most common terps in cannabis. Even if they're not in the top few, pretty much all cannabis has all three of these terps. I'm curious, as a budtender myself, what you would say are your overall preferences in cannabis? If you've found that combo to be reliable, I'd guess hybrid user with situational specific preferences. It's (very roughly this is a Will and Grace reference >_>) Karen's party mix: Limonene for the upper, Myrcene for a downer, and Caryophyllene candy corn!

Peesonally I almost always want that sleepy shit and look for Myrcene, Humulene, Nerolidol, and Linalool.

Idk about them, but my transition experience was the opposite. Neither is free of animals who were never taught how to operate their bodies in a public space, but my men's room experiences were gross way more often than my women's room experiences are. And now that I share a single toilet bathroom with men at work again, piss in weird places all the time. I understand that there are some places where the women's room is routinely worse, but the average has been the opposite in my experience.

He usually posts pretty regularly to reddit as well =/ I just follow on Instagram.

I left reddit a while ago for Instagram. There's a lot of art on Instagram, and I enjoy that I can interact with artists there. I also do some personal and professional networking there. But I always missed having a text first space for discussion. And I missed that old school forum feel. It's been a long time since reddit fulfilled those needs effectively, and Instagram isn't even trying. I heard about Lemmy when the API exodus happened and decided to give it a shot. So far it's kept my interest. It has a fun racous forum feel still, and could grow quite a bit yet without losing it.

East Coast Its! This is my favorite webcomic, hands down.

Just when you thought you were out?

Yeah, I have narrow feet as well. There are barefoot brands with wider fits, but I like the snug fit I can get with Merrells. And heel striking has to go when you switch to barefoot. Mid to forefoot stride is the way! Heel striking puts stress on your ankles and knees. Changing your stride will strengthen your feet and protect your joints.

That's the only problem I see.
