Getting high

So my E-Nano showed up:



Came with a glass stem + bowl screen, I also bought an all-glass GonG adapter to hook it to the bubbler. Initial impressions are extremely positive. Great efficiency and variety on this thing. You can take some gentle, flavorful puffs with a straight stem or white-wall a bong with an adapter for giant cloudy hits, and use almost no plant matter in the process.
Beautiful! I have a Joda glass octopus to go with mine. What a great vaporizer.
 
Love being in Denver and being able to shop whatever strain I want at leisure.

There has been some Expensive stuff running around - Death Star. $60 for an eighth but it's %28 THC and it's lasted me longer than any other bag I've had. Stuff is just crazy. One and done and that's saying quite a bit from me.

I just picked up some death star the other day but the place I picked it up from was 35 an eighth. Don't see too much 60 dollar 1/8ths out here in the north bay area where I am but there is a place with some stuff called Moon Rocks that looks crazy but I haven't tried it yet seeing as it's 30 bucks a gram lol.
 
It's just so nice having dispensaries nearby. You can try new stuff and there's so much variety. Also not worrying about getting caught and arrested is a plus haha
 
Took my $15 vape pen with me on a trip last week, and came home last night to it having busted open and leaked my Presidential OG oil all over.

Might be time to find something a bit higher quality for oil concentrates. Anyone have a suggestion for a specific model/brand?

Funny you mentioned that. I found some death Star at a different place near my house. It was way cheaper and did not have the bang I remember.

I think this is a case of people calling things the same strain when they aren't

So I've always enjoyed smoking with friends from time to time, but I just got my own G to start out. Blue Dream.

Its honestly only gonna be used with friends and the ladies. Any tips on how to smoke it? I was thinking of just getting one of those standard glass pipes.

Dabbler? Dr Dabber? Either would work well for you if you want to switch to shatter. It's a bit more work (loading) though.

Check out fuck combustion forum.

CA - though I can't imagine how nice it must be in Colorado.

Some areas of California still trying to not allow dispensaries still which is kinda lame, I have to drive out at least to Fresno or Sacramento to get anything, and even then Fresno has no real actual stores, pretty much all delivery (unless they do now, don't know I'm an hour away from there lol).

Usually I just go up to my bro's in Santa Rosa and pick up fat over there haha
 
I think I'm gonna lay off the sativa for a while. I've enjoyed this amnesia haze a lot over the past few weeks, but I'm starting to miss the mellow, happy feeling I get from cheese. This shit is too mentally intense. I like that 'head high', but only every now and again and in situations that it would benefit.

Plus cheese is a hybrid anyway, so it's not as if I miss out on a head high entirely. :D
 
God fucking bless good quality UK cheese. I smoked it for the first time in months last night and I was completely couch-locked and was getting intense waves of euphoria flushing over my entire body and mind when I closed my eyes. It was fucking incredible, just like when I first started smoking. This is hands down my favourite strain.

I'm going to try shrooms for the first time tomorrow with a friend. What can I expect to happen/feel?
More than anything the psilocybin experience and message is one of migration through organic networks.

You need to be outside in a beautiful setting that you can explore. A local park that has established trails is really the best option. Preferably something with variation so everything doesn't appear too homogenous, like you dip into the woods and come out the other side eventually.

Select a reasonable and agreed upon loop or point of reversal so that you don't end up having walked for 18 miles through the woods in the opposite direction of your vehicle. Once a few buddies and I had to hitch hike back through a state park when we found ourselves in a similar situation and although it certainly proved interesting, the last 6 hours of the journey up to the point of salvation were very psychologically trying for all of us. Thankfully we all pulled through and nobody cried till the fat lady sang, then it was all tears of resolved joy. Getting lost in the woods can be a great thing, up to a certain point. At which it becomes a very bad thing.

DO NOT sit inside in a dark space, turn on a television, or fuck around with any electronic devices. They are totally antithetical to the whole thing, what with being electronic regurgitators of synthetic messages and all.

Thanks for the tips. And in regards to the bolded - I know the perfect place.

This is a load.

Pretty much just stay away from negative or violent imagery and just do what you enjoy. I split 8gs of mushies with a friend, watched the daily show for hours, and it was one of the best trips of my life. I've also done the outdoor thing, it's all good.

This. I just love listening to music on trips or a lot of things. You dont need to be outside, i would even advise against it unless you're on private property. Especially if it's your first time, the paranoia of being caught can get to you.

I would also have some weed on hand incase you get anxiety or paranoia.

How much should I take...bearing in mind I'm a lightweight when it comes to any kind of drug?

Do you have a scale? I say 4g should be decent for a first trip. I did 6g for mine and had a blast. Shrooms is my fav psychedelic though, never had a bad trip on it. But I know people that have ONLY had bad trips on shrooms, so take that as you will.

Also be careful about mixing weed with shrooms, again, some feel its positive, some negative.

rule of thumb I've always heard was an 1/8th per person. I'm sure that'd be plenty for your first time.

i just got a bag from one of the towns with a dispensary and I've been wasting my money so bad buying the local rubbish green from my buddy. the bags are getting smaller, wetter, and he doesn't flush it enough. I wish taking a tolerance break was easier for me than what it is.

Take 1G to start and see how you feel after an hour. If you feel like you could handle nore take another G and you'll be trippin.
This is a great way to waste 2g of mushrooms

But whatever, fuck this thread, sometimes I forget everyone is such a goddamn genius

Go read Erowid, there is no point talking about this bullshit

I generally prefer LSD to shrooms. The trips are very similar to me, but at least LSD doesn't result in that really nauseous feeling in your stomach for an hour or two. Really dampens the beginning of the trip and makes me anxious.
Speaking of which, I am going to this Hyper Japan festival in London (http://hyperjapan.co.uk/) tomorrow and am thinking of dropping a light dose of acid for it tomorrow!

That's why you make tea by grinding the fungal tissue into a powder and soaking it in water and straining it out. This also removes the "gassy" feeling people have a few hours after ingestion, which is about the time you are coming down and just feeling super stoned. The come up is also smoother and tighter, more like 15 minutes instead of 30.

They both are worth exploring, certainly, but there are a few slightly different cues for each that make things more enjoyable when respected. I probably should have mentioned the tea but it slipped my mind, I was more concerned with recommending proper set and setting.

Fungal tissue is the soft version of chitin which is one of the most taxing things for humans to digest. The hard version is insect exoskeletons and things of that nature, just for comparison.

You've never had the crazy body load from LSD which can make you feel sick? That initial rush can have you teetering. I've done 240ug and 300ug tabs and every time I have had the feeling of nearly needing to be sick, usually the massive sensory overload helps me to push through it but I wouldn't say that LSD doesn't give you that feeling too.

Also, I would say if you want to prepare yourself for a first trip, then reading erowid would be the best thing to do.

My current favorite thing to do while high is listen to music.

I've discovered some good stuff while doing so. It's just so pleasant.

Doesn't hurt if I have a bowl of ice cream in hand too.

Whats up man. What kind of music? I'm listening to some Photek right now. I'm always down to discover new shit.
 
Music is the best. I find that my favourite art is often better described as a 'feeling', rather than an image, or story, or technical achievement. Music then has the potential to be a purer art form than the others, because it's void of the conceit of meaning.

I know you didn't ask me, but I'm listening to Arvo Pärt right now.

If you were in Bham I'd hook you up. ;)

In other news - I had a great time on shrooms yesterday. I only took a small dose just to be on the safe side for my first time. I was in my friend's back garden when they started to kick in and the grass I was sitting on looked like it was moving, as if there was water or air underneath and the grass was just a mesh over the top. And the plants in his garden looked like they were breathing and morphing around. And the colours and smells were so intense. Shit was cool as hell. I then lay back and experienced some intense, kaleidoscope-like closed-eye visuals. Then we set off to go and buy some weed and the entire time it felt like I was walking on a cloud in some surreal world that was familiar yet totally new. Almost like a dream that I was both experiencing and watching my self experience simultaneously. Everyone looked so strange, the shrooms exaggerated their features and I found myself feeling disgust for some of them as I walked past. Good thing we only stayed in a public place long enough to withdraw some cash as it was definitely better being around nature while high on those things. I don't think I've ever felt as content or as grounded as I did as we were walking back through the woods and around the lake, it felt like I'd smoked an extremely strong joint of the finest UK cheese. It felt like everything was just right and I was completely comfortable with where I was and who I am.

Then the last couple of hours were spent laughing uncontrollably at nothing. Overall it was a great experience and something I'd definitely do again. Although I'm not sure if I would want to take a stronger dose unless I was alone or with a few friends away from everything and everyone. It's not like weed where I can go out stoned and still function normally and hold conversations and shit. The only thing I disliked about the experience was the knot in my stomach when they started to kick in. I didn't let that ruin the high, though, and after a while it disappeared.

So, yeah, great stuff. :D
