Getting high

Had a cup of coffee the other morning, along with a single fresh psilocybe cyanescens I picked in Golden Gate Park the other day. The caffeine and mushroom really synergized well, and I was extremely productive the rest of the morning.

Highly recommended combo.
 
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.

Interesting. I do smoke (I mean normal cigarettes) a lot so the smoking itself isn't the problem I guess.

It's also not a case of not being used to it anymore. In my teenage years and early twenties, sometimes I smoked weed every day but sometimes I also quit for months and then doing it again and I didn't had any problem.

Maybe the problem is having less testosterone... although I had a check up on my testerone level last year and it was normal. Or maybe I'm not in a happy place, even though I kinda am. Difficult story, have been in an on/off relationship for the past 2,5 years that causes a lot stress. Yesterday everything was fine between us though. Still, I guess subconsiously that could contribute to me getting paranoid.

Ah well, I don't need it anyway so its not that big of a deal. But I just miss the feeling-good-high I guess.

Not to say that you have low testosterone, you're just reaching the age where it starts to lower.

And like I said, try meditating, it really helps quite a lot with that type of stuff. (that's if you wanna keep smoking)

Piss test blues

I usually smoke weekly-ish. I have a test coming up and it'll have been 2 weeks since my last smoke (3 hits or so). A week before that I split a J with like 5 people. I'm pretty skinny (less than 140 lbs) and I've been drinking lots of caffeinated drinks, water, and cranberry juice. I know there's no evidence for niacin helping, but I got some of that too.

I'm not very active though and don't do much more than walk, but my metabolism is good. This will be my first test so I don't have any experience. You guys think I'll be okay? Any other advice?

Purely anectodal, but my ex once took a test a week after smoking and passed. All she did was drink some cranberry juice. Small girl, which may have helped.

Just buy one of those pee bags

if you're worried about it go to CVS or Walgreens and get a test. buddy of mine just had to do that yesterday and ended up being in the clear, despite having smoked a bowl 4 days prior. definitely worth the 15 bucks or whatever it cost for peace of mind.

oh and the back of the box had 'street names' for some of the drugs.. lawd. i'll post the pic in a few.

I don't get the munchies anymore when I smoke. It's great. Things still taste great, but I don't have the urge to eat.

Same. That went away pretty quickly once I became a regular smoker. Of course, if I do happen to be hungry in general, I prefer to eat when blaze because it tastes amazing lol

It all depends on the strains you guys are smoking, too. Certain strains cause intense munchies by everyone that tries them. Diablo OG is one in particular.

Drug test question

I actually weigh 115 pounds (yes im a bit underweight) and i'm a heavy smoker. I'm also not very active in terms of exercise. How fast do you guys think I could flush the thc out of my body?

How much do you stand to lose? I'd say about a month is a safe bet.

The drug test is on my court date in february. If I don't pass ill go back to jail and probably get something worse than a deferral. I decided that i'm gonna take a couple drug tests in January before the date and show it to the prosecutor to show i've been clean since the arrest.

Um... I would recommend stopping til your court date, but what do I know?

What? Your prosecutor won't give a fuck what your tests say that you provide. You just need to take the drug test that they assign and pass. And stop smoking.

I've never heard of anyone getting a hair follicle test for a job. Urine tests, yeah. But I stopped smoking 10 years ago, so maybe things are different now. Jeez, that must suck.

Ha, yeah I work at Frito Lay part time and they do a hair test (extremely unusual for part time jobs). Same for full time employees there too obviously. I think I'm just going to quit extra early just to be safe anyway. There are a lot of really big companies nearby I'd like to get with and I'd hate to have a stupid hair test prevent that.

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.
Smoking is the problem! Don't smoke, vape. Better yet, if you can get your hands on some, edibles.

I wouldn't be so sure. My brother smokes cigarettes and he still hacks and wheezes when he smokes weed. Try vaping and see if you respond more positively.

do you guys suggest blazing up while having a cold? I'm in need of some relief and I hate taking meds.

Take some NyQuil PM, that will relieve you of all your pain and misery while going through this cold.

I did forget to mention that I own a vape, so it would probably be less damaging to my fucked up throat. but yea, I'm pretty close to just drugging myself out with some over the counter shit.

Well I just spent some time at my sister's Christmas party. I'm really going to enjoy smoking some pot now. And eating some of this peppermint bark. I took a good tolerance break just so I could be extra stoned for all the holiday social overload.

Good idea, wish I had done it. Brother comes into town tomorrow and can't smoke while he is in the house, too risky.

Edit: Dropped my pipe. =( The good die young I suppose, the guy got me some pretty good hits for the size. I know what I'm buying myself for Christmas.
 
Nothing is better than eating a big bag of donettes (RIP right? Hostess is gone right? Fuck.....) when you're nice and toasted.

I find chewing gum helps curb the munchies. Also portioning out whats in front of you so you're not just shoveling an insane amount of food into your pie hole.

Anyone ever watch Bored to Death?
 
Finishing up about the last of my Red Dream greens. Going to use the vaped browns to make some edibles. Anyone have any good recipes or suggestions for food/snacks? Preferably something that wouldn't take more than 4-5 hours to make?

Anyone ever watch Bored to Death?

Watched the first season. I remember it being pretty good. I should really get to that second season.

If you have a vape it shouldn't make anything worse, although you are still introducing stuff to your system, in my experience you will only prolong the cold however. I personally never tried a vape while sick however.

Really good documentary on Vanguard about the growing community in NorCal. Really considering starting to grow soon but the right circumstances need to fall in place.
 
New Years is going to be fun. A hybrid pickup, and a sativa pickup. Too bad my camera phone is dismal. Dem tris.

Got a new piece today, was in a rush but I always just pick out the one that catches my eye. Deep bowl on her.

Think I'm going to get a one hitter and a cigarette roller soon as well, it's always nice to have options. Need to refill my prescription soon too.

I had an insanely bad comedown (probably caused by my OCD), but ecstasy as a chill out drug is pretty sublime.

My friend who smokes semi-regularly tried edibles for the first time and though they seemed normal from a third person's perspective, they said they felt paranoid & confused and were just worrying about things. This has lasted over 12 hours and is still going even with food, sleep, water.

Is that...normal?

How much was put in it and how much did they eat? Edibles are nice for me, but the comedown is so much more exaggerated than if I smoke. I barely want to move afterwards. 12 hours does seem outrageously long.

No idea, didn't really inquire. Probably a good amount judging by the effects.

Eventually it all goes away, right?

A friend told me he had a line on a hookup and would get back to me after Christmas. Hoping to hear soon. I've been languishing here without a consistent source for a while now. Shit blows.
