Getting high

It feels like I get way higher when smoking from a bowl as opposed to vaping. I wonder if it's all in my head.

What's the deal with dabs? Why do it?
 
I have not tried dabs but I think they are like a super concentrated vape. Maybe I should try since when I vape (cartridges) it just does not seem strong enough.

It's concetrated THC, up to like 90% or something crazy. A dab'll do ya. They wreck your tolerance though.

Xenobalde Chronicles X is a great game to play baked :)

You think you feel 'higher', but it's really just inhaling smoke that's making you light headed and buzzed. You don't get that way using a vape.

I don't buy that for a second. Recently switched back to joints after using my Pax exclusively for the past ~6 months, and the high is totally different. With the Pax, or any vape really, the high is always duller. It's still there, I can feel it, I just can't really touch it.

After I smoke a joint, using as much, if not less than the Pax, I'm in the fucking zone. I'm couch locked. I'm scared to drive to go get food. I honestly feel like I've wasted 6 months of smoke on the Pax.

Even if it is just the smoke making me "light headed and buzzed", the end results are completely different.

I agree here. I have the Pax 2 and really don't like it. Nowhere near the same feeling and I feel like everytime I use it, I'm wasting what could have been some awesome highs if I had just rolled a joint. So now I just roll joints and the Pax sits in the drawer. Goddamned marketing.
 
Supposing this is a bit like the official High thread, a quick question:

Is there a better way of getting high on weed than smoking? I can't stand the smell or having smoke at home.

Note: Never done anything in my life apart from getting occasionally drunk, just curious. Sometimes anxiety makes me want to see if there can be something that can help with relaxing through difficult times. I had surgery recently and after three weeks of painkillers I'm trying to hold on my own now that pain is going away slowly.

Vaping is good because the onset is fast enough that you can kinda titrate your dose, ingesting it via edibles or tinctures is kind of problematic in that way unless you know the exact potency, and you can get higher (read: uncomfortably or inappropriately high) from ingesting it it seems, while that's a lot harder to do with vaporizing or smoking.

Need to get a better grinder, I think I'm not making the most of my magic flight launch box because the weed isn't ground enough. I definitely feel like I get a stronger high with a bong.

I have had the same grinder for about 5 years. I need a new one too, I'm just so damn cheap.

I had to smoke a bowl this morning woke up really dizzy for whatever reason.

Anyone here have any experience with smoking while taking an SSRI? Just got put on Paxil and wanted to smoke a bit this weekend. I don't smoke often at all but just have never had any experience. General internet wisdom seems to think its fine but was just checking here.

I'm on 15mg Lexapro and I smoke all the time. If anything, it makes you less anxious when you're high.
 
If you were to suggest the ultimate "oh fuck level 11" vape, which would it be?

Probably a box and whip style, since if you're hooked up to the mains you can get a higher temp heating element. The Da Buddha is one that gets insanely hot, the last fourth of the dial is too hot to actually be considered vaporization and you're probably going to burn your shit, but if you stop before the combustion point you're going to get really thick vapour.

I smoke 24/7 AMA

Are you an addict?

I only ask cause I definitely am an addict. But I ponder to myself often that maybe its okay to be addicted to pot.

My father was an addict and destroyed his life with gambling.

I guess I feel that if I am an addict, may as well be addicted to something that wont ruin my life.

are there any good smoke/air filters that will allow me to smoke discretely in a small studio apartment? Getting too paranoid to smoke outside the apartment during the day when people are all around. Like is there anything I can set on my coffee table or floor that will suck in all the smoke and leave little/no odor?

I've never taken a break so I'm not sure. My dad was addicted to all sorts of things though so I've been extra careful.

Weirdish question - anyone ever have upset stomach/indegestion feeling after taking a break from smoking pot? Had been smoking daily for ~6 months (longest Ive done), and when I stopped I noticed these feelings. Been about 10 days now, and the feelings are lessening, but still there somewhat. Either that or it's E Coli from Chipotle

I do, when I stop smoking weed. I get cramps and my appetite is absolutely gone.

I've only stopped twice, been smoking weed everyday for 12 years.
 
Back on the weed to get me through these miserable winter months a little easier. Been around a month since I last smoked, and the two months before that I was smoking pineapple haze exclusively. Picked up some dank UK cheese two days ago and it almost put me into a coma, lol. They say you can never get as high as you did your fist time - bullshit. I felt like I was simultaneously being pulled and pushed by waves of euphoria and my eyes rolled back in their sockets. Shit was intense.

I say it every time I come back to it, but UK cheese is the best weed I've ever smoked.

I wish I had access to all of these extravagant strains. Whenever I get any it's only described as either reggie or loud.

I'm so happy I very very rarely don't have weed.

No weed = no sleep, lots of sweats, lots of peeing and just not good in the head...to many voices...

So weird, im the exact same way. I had no idea anyone else felt like that. When im sober its like there is too many voices in my head, just way too many thoughts at one time.

I'm extremely lucky. It's not the norm to have much selection at all in the UK, at least not in Birmingham. It's usually cheese or haze here, and most of the time all there is is cheese because the haze sells quick. I'm just lucky that the guy I buy from is such a huge stoner and gets all these funky strains coming in. He just messaged me today and told me he has some Tangerine Dream and OG Kush. I've heard great things about both of those strains. I am excite.

Etizolam and Clonazolam. A godsend. Can't believe these benzodiazepines are legal without a prescription in the USA.

Not for human consumption of course

Fuuuck

Well I have to quit smoking/want to quit smoking...

But holy fuck I am not keen to go through the withdrawals.. the irritability, the sweats, the edginess and short temper... fuck that..

I got some anxiety tablets and some sleeping tablets but shit its gonna suck..

Do any of you guys have a special quitting formula that eases you through the few days of minor nuances? I'm one of those people who are way too aware of things that are affecting me no matter how minor..

I smoke a shitload of cigarettes which is like the worst remedy ever, but other than that maybe have a drink or two, with just a little bit of alcohol I get this mellow feeling.

Wowowowow having access to more than flower? FINALLY WE HAVE DISPENSARIES HERE!

I can medicate properly :D

Got some budder, Ganja Drops, variety (*gasp*) of strains to target certain symptoms.

Man this dry spell is killing me! Just because I'm bored out of my mind though. I
m not having any headaches trouble sleeping or other withdrawal symptoms. I didn't even know weed could do that. It just sucks not being able to take my soul to that other place where everything is bright and glorious.

Sure you think its because you're bored out of mind but really what it is, is that you have formed a habit smoking and being high while doing regular activities. :p

Nah but I've found weed withdrawal symptoms are tough for some people only.. Mainly people with anxiety issues.

I only have a little bit of anxiety which weed helps a lot but when Im trying to quit, the withdrawal symptoms go hand in hand with my little bit of anxiety to create a hell of discomfort, irritability and anxiousness.

so my wife and i have pretty much been doing the medicinal thing every single night after work. we've tried about 4 or 5 strains and just keep going straight back to the sativa dominant Irie OG hybrid strain because it offers a complete knock-you-senseless high that lasts for hours.

anyone more experienced willing to take a look at a menu and give some suggestions?

This sentence makes me jealous that I don't have choice. :(

The stuff that my brother and I get is still premium, though. But it's one kind of strain, and I think it's indica. I wouldn't mind trying others.
