Getting high

HiiiLife

Okay so obviously we all smoke, that's why we're posting here.

But gat damn @ the people who slobber all over the joint. Lol.

I understand you can stiffen it by doing that, but there's a difference between stiffening a joint and making love to it.

Kinda makes me want to roll my own J's for myself. Lol. Sorry Gaf, I'm selfish.

I got high by myself today for the first time. I almost thought myself to death. I was trying to rationalize EVERYTHING that entered my mind, but my thoughts faded in and out so it was difficult.

It was pretty fucking cool, but at the same time it was just way too much thinking.
You got to put your mind to something, can't let it wander like that. Listen to music, watch videos, read a book, gaze at the stars. Do something, and you'll be good to go.

I couldn't get any of my smoking buddies together this week and I wanted to try my Magic Flight Launch Box, so I decided to just enjoy a night to myself and get a little high.

Filled the trench about halfway, or two-thirds of the way, and proceeded to take some puffs as I learned from some YouTube tutorials. People were right about the flavor, very nice in comparison to smoking a pipe. I couldn't tell how good I was taking the hits though.

But then I got really high and it was wonderful.

I turned on the stereo and nothing good was playing, so decided to go for the classic rock station. Then I surfed around On Demand and decided to watch The Soup and then some episodes of Saturday Night Live. I don't know where that came from; I've been swearing off SNL for a while, but the Martin Short episode got great responses on GAF so I went for it.

When I could actually focus on the shows, they were hilarious to me. Great times. I felt like I was being lifted to the stratosphere though, which is a good thing. Once I started "coming down" I felt hungry for sweets so I mixed together some Fluff and almond butter, basically making the ambrosia of the gods, and I was happy and indulgent. After that I re-upped with what was left in the MFLB (plenty) and let a good deal of it get dark brown, because I wanted to just use it all and fully.

The second high felt more like a "body high" than the first one. This time I felt my body becoming comfortably numb like the last time I smoked. Interesting how I got two different sorts of highs out of one trench of product. What I was really happy with, too, is that both of these highs felt "cleaner" because of the vapor. Smoke can be really rough with me so it was nice to have an experience without it. I coughed a little but didn't feel as crappy in my throat and lungs. The lack of having charred marijuana left over was also a plus.

In all, my first time with vaporizing left me very happy. This will definitely be my preferred method, moving forward. Now I just have to work on technique a bit.

Bought an ounce (28.3 grams, I weighed it). $400. High price stuff. I took two hits Friday evening, that was all she wrote.
I didn't quite believe it, so I waited most of the day yesterday and then smoked a pinch. Yep, shit is righteous.
Smoked a little this morning while walking at sunrise. Mellow as a motherfucker.
 
Jeeze 400$? The highest I paid for an ounce was like 180$ for some real good shit and "normal" weed I can get for like 100-120$ an ounce.

Started smoking again this week, feels good man! I had to stop for a drug test and I was sure I would fail, I had only stopped for 16 days and I smoke every day. Took 4 advils 5 hours before my test plus two B12 vitamins 30 min (for the piss color) before and I fucking got it! :lol

This is why I stopped. Because I'm on the verge of switching jobs at my local hospital and I don't want to fail a drug test of any sort. Plus, I don't know why but I feel like smoking weed messes with my lungs and might damage them like cigarettes. So I only smoked this past July non-stop and then when August came I stopped and was weed free from that point forward.

I'm thinking about smoking by myself. I don't wanna start freaking the fuck out tho haha. I Always over think shit and then someone says something funny and we all laugh. But if I'm alone I might over think to much.
I have that issue. Music,not getting too high, cutting off thoughts helps.

I enjoy a mild buzz alone that lasts an hour as much as getting stoned with friends.

I gotta be careful alone.

It helps I only have mids right now instead of dro.

I never thought I'd do it alone. For me smoking is a social-recreational activity.

That said, when I did it last night I had music and shows and it was really relaxing. It can be neat to go a little paranoid but this stuff is really just for chilling out and it's not hard to do that alone as long as you have something to enjoy otherwise. I wouldn't want to sit alone in a room with my own thoughts.

Sometimes you just have to let yourself drift into the world of pleasure and leave everything else behind.

I never thought I'd do it alone, either. But then winter break came, and I was alone, and....yeah.

Good kid maaad city is a great album to listen to while high
"The Art of Peer Pressure" came on last night while I was lying in bed waaaaay too high, and the part from like 1:08 to 1:28 freaked me out.

Also, for some reason the story in that song really hit me hard, and at the same time scared the shit out of me. I'm not even joking, I had the fucking covers over my head LOL

So, I've been a very occasional smoker for the last 2-3 years, but here in the last 6 months or so I've been smoking probably 4-5 days a week on average. I've noticed my tolerance has built up a lot and it's been a while since I've gotten blazed as hell.

I usually just smoke mids though, and I can still get really high off of some better shit, but I'm thinking of taking a tolerance break for a while so that I don't have to buy high grade every time I want to get high. Does anyone in here know how long I should go without to get my tolerance back down? I'm thinking like a month maybe?

I never thought I'd smoke alone either, but I do it every once in a while now. Sometimes it's really nice to get high alone and browse GAF for laughs or play a good video game.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
I smoke more alone than I do with others at this point. It's nice to just be high and not have to go anywhere.

Yesterday smoked three j's.

Yeah a month should be good.

I never really had to take a tolerance break, I always feel high as fuck every time I smoke but for the past year or so I've been getting some really good shit, so that helps. Plus my body as a really weak tolerance to any kind of drugs so that's a big plus for me. :lol Fucking love being skinny!

If you do start again, don't smoke! Vaporizing is the secret.

Yeah, from my single experience the difference with vaping was night and day. I coughed a little bit but my lungs and throat didn't feel much at all. It's so much cleaner.
Yup. No nasty carcinogens to deal with, just pure THC goodness. It's the safest and cheapest way to get high.

Sounds good, I'll just not smoke for the first month of next semester.

I'm really skinny too (145 lbs and 6' tall) and normally have weak tolerance to stuff (especially alcohol) which is nice.

So what is vaporizing? Sorry but I never smoked till this past July. All I would do is put a little in this bowl, light the little in the bowl. Inhale a few times and then hold. Then exhale. I would cough a few times during this segment.

Was I doing something wrong?
 

Davey Cakes

Vaporizing is a completely different method, where you heat the product until it exhausts it's chemicals rather than burn it. You breath in vapor rather than smoke, and you still hold it in.

Things like pipes, bongs, joints, etc. create smoke because you light them. Vaporizers are different devices altogether.

I may not be the best person to explain this, but vaporizing is a different process where, instead of burning all of the weed, you're dispersing the stuff that you want that's in the weed, since those parts vaporize at a much lower temperature than the temperature that pot combusts at.

There's all different kinds of vaporizers, the forum favorite seems to be the Magic Flight Launch Box for it's stealthiness and simplicity.

Yup. Essentially you're getting it just hot enough to reach the boiling point of THC (I actually do it at a lower temperature than boiling point - I find that 315 can cause some combustion).

You can get the one I use on Amazon for $35. If you're willing to spend more, there are definitely better options, but this one will get the job done for cheap.

Hey guys I got busted recently. Possession of under an Ounce in Georgia. The lawyers I spoke with think i'll probably get a deferral. Have to do some community service and take 3 drug tests.

The bail to get out was 2100 bucks...for less than a gram of a plant. :| Thank god for my dad getting a bondsman.

This sucks. And right before I move to California too. :(

Yeah at least once this is all over with it will be off my record. I'm thinking that considering the drug testing I wont be able to smoke for like 3 months. My court date is in February. I'm gonna start my community service now and maybe even do some drug tests before the court date to show I haven't been using since the arrest. My record is completely clean. I have no criminal history at all.

That fucking blows man. One of my friends got busted in the summer here in Indiana with under an ounce and his bowl and he had to pay a few thousand dollars and is on probation for a year. Now he can't smoke, drink, or leave too far from the county until the end of next summer. Fuck the War on Drugs.

I felt terrible because he got busted while driving to my house to chill and play video games.

If I got the same charge in california it would have been a fucking ticket...assuming the cop would have even bothered wasting his time.

Before it was legalized in Washington, in the Seattle area it was basically on the level of drinking in public, a misdemeanor. You got a ticket for $100-200, a warning, and that was pretty much it.

I'm really hoping legalization/decriminalization will snowball in popularity over the next five years like gay marriage has recently.

To those with the MFLB, what's the lowest price I might be able to find one for and are there any better vapes that people have tried?

I just called my local shop and they told me they don't carry MFLB but carry "better" ones, and I just wanted an idea of what I should be looking for before I stop in to chat.

I got to try out a MFLB yesterday. I got it as a Christmas gift for my ladyfriend, and she loves it.

Like, it's different to smoke out of than what I'm used to, because vapor doesn't quite 'smoke' up as much as a traditional pipe or bong.

Got me really elevated though, and highly recommended.
 

Davey Cakes

Member
There are more expensive non-portable vaporizers out there that are better in terms of features. Probably better in terms if the vape itself too, but I'm not sure the extent of that. The MFLB seems great for the size and convenience. If I had loads of money I may have invested in a Volcano or even one of the better portable models.

I got my Box for 89.99 which is the lowest price I could find. It's the 2012 model from what I can tell. Some sites charge 120.00 for it. Shop around.

I smoked up for the first time at the start of this year, and it wasn't an enjoyable experience. I've tried about ~20 times since, and feel like shit every time. I thought I just needed to build up my tolerance a bit, this has been going on too long now.

I lose all depth perception, get a burning feeling in my chest/lungs, and generally feel awful. I don't smoke ridiculous amounts either...I'm talking three or four puffs of a joint, or one hit of a bong.

I've given up now. I kept trying in the hopes that things would get better, but they aren't. Really sucks too, because I want to experience it the way everyone else does.

Same here. A few times I've actually felt like my stomach was going to burst after sobering up. It was really painful. Zero self control.

In other news, have to take a t-break. I came to the realization last night after I smoked three bowls to the face and felt next to nothing. I'm already mad as fuck that I can't smoke.

Whoa whoa whoa.. This is weird..

I know prices vary area to area but if good shit = dro than it should not only be 60-80 bucks more than reggies...

I get an oz of dro for $300, and oz of reggies for $50. Reggies are weak, good reggies run about $75 for the oz.

I buy eighths at $45-50, quads at $90-100, halves at $160, and oz at $300.

Well my pipe is taking forever to come from europe, hope it didn't get caught in customs.

It's 4-14 day shipping, 2 months in extreme cases, but my friend got his in less than a week.

Oh well, I'll just buy a glass pipe locally the 26th with any money I get. I get paid the 27th. I have 16 dollaz right now after christmas shopping and bills.

The one I wanted was small, wood, metal, foldable, and stealthy. Google image search monkey pipe.

Going in my back yard with a colorful pipe for my neighbors to see isn't too stealthy. lol.

Maybe they will have a non-glass one at my local hippy store.

I don't know the names man lol I just know that at 100-120$ I got an ounce of some pretty basic stuff, not bad but not the best I've had and at 180$ I got weed that would kill me after two puffs lol smoked about 0.5 to test it out and was out of this world after :lol

This sucks and this is another one of my fears. But since I don't drive like that and I walk to my job, to local bars and to the super markets. I don't have to worry about being stopped or pulled over. Glad you got out on bail and you didn't a serious charge. I can't wait till Cannabis is legal nationwide. It needs to be.

What the hell. I've smoked weed for 10+ years, in my teenage years did it close to every day some months. Never a problem.

Now, the last year, whenever I do it, I can't handle it anymore (I'm 28 by the way). I get paranoid and it almost always ends up with me getting sick and puking. After that I feel fine, but still.

I can't handle it anymore. Its like my 'aged' body and mind rejects it. Anyone heard of this?

A lot of people get this, the inhalation of the smoke + the added affect of weed can cause this

Paranoia is kind of a mental thing, and it can easily mean that you're either a worry wart, or just possibly depressed (I used to have that paranoia real bad when I was depressed). These are both possible as you get older due to you getting less Testosterone, and other suck problems.

my suggestion is just stop doing it for a while. If you really want to get back into it, try it again like 2-3 months from when you quit. If you don't want to do that, try meditating and gaining better control over your mind and body. Accept the high and let it just take over and don't worry about it. But, a person who might be mentally not capable of that probably shouldn't be smoking weed anyway.
