Getting high

Lashley

Why does he wear the mask!?
That is the best way to go... I have to ask bud... are you used to be fucked up...? like do you get drunk?

Yeah man, I've done drugs before just never weed. I was planning on having some drinks tomorrow but I might not if I'm smoking this.

Let this be known... I am certainly not trying to freak you out... I think weed is the easiest of all drugs. I just didn't wanna throw you into madness.
 
Just chill, watch a few movies and play some PS4

Watching movies stoned is the best. They become so much more engrossing and intense. I remember a friend of mine (he doesn't smoke often) got stoned before seeing Interstellar at the cinema. He didn't move or say a single word the entire time, lol.

My advice is go into LSD stone cold sober. I have never enjoyed the interactions.

That's the plan. Ill be off everything before trying it. Plan is to take a minimal amount. How long before I start noticing something? Almost want to can myself to document the change.

On a related note, heading to Vancouver this weekend to party with some friends. Hopefully, some smoking and vaping to be enjoyed.
 
I had a really weird experience with some edibles this past week. Maybe I ate too much of it or something, but my heart was racing SO fast, and I was shaking/had tremors... It felt like my skin was various temperatures all over my body and my teeth were... "glowing" or just felt really weird. I was freaking out a little bit since I was in a hotel with a friend of mine. Lasted for quite a while, but eventually, it felt a bit better. It's never really had that effect on me, but to be fair, I haven't had much experience with edibles.
 
Just moved from Washington to Oregon today. The mj situation isn't quite as great here as back in WA, so I stocked up before I left so I can survive until my OMM card appointment in mid-August.

It appears Lashley never returned from his first stoner day...

Nothing happened. :(

We rolled a j but we mustn't have done it right because I felt nothing. Then rolled a 1 with some tobacco in, same deal.

I've kept some so going to get my friend who's a stoner to roll me one.

I've heard this happen so many times. Usually on the second try they get blasted.
 
took me like four or five times tbh. usually just wasn't inhaling and holding right, and in addition if it's a pure sativa it's a bit harder to feel if you're not doing it quite right than an indica would be, the head high can be a bit more subtle if you're not already expecting it

That sucks, but I doubt it's anything to do with how the J was rolled. I've smoked from countless joints that could barely be called joints (had a friend who couldn't roll well back before I started buying weed myself) yet they still got me stoned as hell. It's most likely down to how you're inhaling. Try sucking straight from the lungs, like taking a normal breath. Don't draw the smoke in with your lips/mouth and then inhale separately. Try to keep it as one smooth movement. Do that as well as take a larger hit and it should work.

Also, make sure you are actually inhaling into your lungs and not swallowing the smoke. I know it sounds silly, but some people do that. A friend of mine (who, coincidentally, was the only one out of 4 of us who didn't get stoned the first time) used to do this.
 
Going without until I can find another hookup, my only one is joining the military. I just want to be able to go to the store and pick it up, man. :(

I was going to post something similar, lashley, but this covers most of it. Inhaling right is important, and it's easy to mess it up at first.

Open up your lungs by taking 5 to 10 deeeep slow breaths a couple minutes before you toke up.

I'll try that.

Not much of a smoker, had a few tabs (cigarettes) last night but that's because I was drinking (A few hours after smoking the weed, read alcohol and weeds not good)

The one bad trip I ever had in my 12 years of smoking bud was the first time I mixed weed and alcoholic drinks.

Now I love doing it, though. No longer a bad buzz.

I read it was better to smoke AND THEN drink rather than drink and then smoke

Don't know if thats true though
 
Took LSD for the first time and smoking tons of bud in lava vaporizers. An ounce of weed.

Did this in Toronto it was my first time visiting Canada. They got bomb ass weed and a cool ass vape shop.


Edit: After calming my nerves after 9 cigarettes I start feeling the effects of the acid and I'm soooooooo goooooneeeee


Stay away from drugs kids.

Regarding the first joint rolling / smoking not being a favourable experience, here's how it happened to me years and years ago:

Roommate at a camp gave me about 2-3g as a first-timer gift. Much appreciated. When I'm home I buy papers and roll 3 joints with mostly intact "nuggets" of the bud. No tips or anything, just tight nuggets of weed wrapped in cigarette papers. Had never smoked cigarettes so no idea how to do it. Had fully smoked two of them until I realised I was sucking so hard my cheeks were caving in and barely any smoke was being inhaled. Also no tip and non ground tight nuggets didn't make it easier. Well the third one finally got me high as a fucking kite and it being my first time I was imagining (not hallucinating) neon skeletons while listening to psytrance and "dancing" in my chair.

Second attempt was ten years later a pre-rolled joint and things just worked.

Basically the little I learned from that was to grind the weed, use tips and I smoked cigarettes so I learned how to inhale.

Next weekend I'm hopefully ready for a third try at this shit.
 
Well I tried a vaporizer this weekend. It was the type that you put in the weed and it vaporizes it as opposed to using some liquid. It was nice and i am sure I had thc in my system given the mega dry mouth I had, but I still did not get that "high feeling." It was a sativa called "LSD" that my friend said was actually quite mild.
I took many hits , but it just did not hit me. is it me or do I need something stronger?

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago when a friend let me try his vape. The high was much more subtle and smooth compared to what I'm used to. I didn't get that punch in the face 'oh, there it is' from it.
 
That is good to know, since that is what I keep expecting. My first experience was many years ago and it was like "bang!" instant good times. I heard that vaping from oil etc is more intense. maybe I'll try that next. I can't really inhale smoke very well and edibles did not agree with me.

If it's the heat of the smoke that you have an issue with, try a bubbler. That way the water will cool the smoke considerably before you inhale it.

Felt like I was gonna faint there. Drenched in sweat and felt dizzy and sickly.

Sat down turned the fan on and chilled for 10 minutes. Feel better now but still a bit dizzy and sickly.

Dunno if I pulled a whitey or what. Friend was fine.

Yup, sounds like a whitey to me. I've only ever had one and it was just like how you described. I was super stoned too, to the point where I could hardly muster up the motivation to move a finger. I had to just sit down and ride it out. Wasn't very pleasant at all.

You aren't having the best luck with weed, are you? Try putting some of your favourite music on or something and just relax.

Also, did you smoke on an empty stomach?
 
I've only nearly green'd out once. I thought I was having an allergic reaction lol and I almost went to the hospital b/c of that. But then I just laid down for a while and listened to music - which sounded awesome despite everything.

Not empty but I hadn't ate much today. Have done afterwards though/.

I've smoked a decent number of times and generally enjoy the high even though I absolutely hate the actual process of smoking (tastes gross, rough on the throat, coughing, bleh). I'll share some of my experiences looking back with y'all. :)

I hesitate to call this the first time - more like "zero-th". I tried out my friend's vaporizer and didn't feel anything at all. Left disappointed.

Actual first time: tried again with the vape, still nothing. One of my friend's frat buddies happened to drop by though and saw me, and offered to roll me my first joint. Obviously took it, had a horrible experience smoking it (eyes watering, coughing, etc), and as we were walking back into the dorm I distinctly remember thinking to myself that it wasn't worth it and I wouldn't try it again.

We enter his room and they sit down to play some FIFA or something, and I walked over to the sink to wash my face. I look up into the mirror and bam. Gone. I turn around and say "uh... guys...? I think I feel somethiiiiing" - they start laughing and encourage me some, but I'm not convinced and feel like they're trying to placebo me lol. I tell them that and they laughed more, and my friend tells me to sit down when he notices me leaning on his bedpost.

Kicked me really hard. I felt like all the different colors in the room were becoming overbearing, and I had to shut my eyes. When I did that though, I felt like I was spinning. I asked him to bring me something to puke in just in case, but I ended up being fine. After a few minutes I chilled out and asked to listen to my favorite band (Casker) and play Dark Souls. Dark Souls went surprisingly well lol. Went from Firelink all the way down to Nito - didn't die once. Overall I had a good time and decided I liked it, but in hindsight not amazing.

Second time was pretty decent as well. Nothing really of note.

Third time was definitely the best by far. I was spouting some bullshit pseudo-science about everything being made up of shapes on a molecular level lol, and actually started crying when I was alone in the car with a close friend of mine and the song Quelqu'un m'a dit came on (500 Days of Summer soundtrack was on) and my mind drifted to thoughts of companionship and tfw no gf (lol), but also about life in general - I was looking out the window and saw buildings and lights and all these man-made accomplishments and I just thought it was really beautiful. Was a really poignant emotional high for me and I thought it was a great experience.

Since then it's just been normal lol. Pretty good but that third time was something else.
 
What do you guys do with the kief you stored up from your grinder?

I don't use a grinder because I use a pipe (I just pick off little pieces with my fingers), but I get lots of dust/crystals and smaller particles collect at the bottom of the baggie. I sprinkle all that goodness on top of the weed I put in the bowl. Shit blows my head off every time.

I never let it go long enough to where I have piles of keef or else my buds aren't frosty. either way I scrape it when I'm dankrupt

It's funny you say that. When I showed them how much kief I collected, they turned into a pack of wolves in the blink of an eye. I just said "Fuck it, let me keep this on the low for a few."
 
I have smoked daily for like a year and stopped smoking yesterday and I hate the world right now. I can't enjoy any games or anything at this point.

I need to find a job though so I have to suffer through it for a week or so till I feel better. On the plus side I have been cleaning the house like crazy cuz I'm super bored.
