Getting high

Cheers man. I expected as much. It's times like this I really wish I wasn't such an introverted bastard and had more friends! Some of the happiest times of the last few years have been whilst high, as sad as that is.

Does anyone have any go-to films or TV shows to enjoy while high? I marathoned through Cosmos, The Wonders of the Solar System, and The Wonders of the Universe the last time I had some and it was the most mind-blowing week of my life!

Cosmos is great. I just started Samurai Jack and that's a lot of fun high or not.

Arrested Development is great when you're stoned, as well.

I know the feeling. I'm a complete shut-in and don't know anyone outside my home other than my dealer. I prefer to get my weed, go home, sit in front of my computer, light up and enjoy my time alone. Speaking of which...

Thanks for the reminder, I've been meaning to watch Cosmos again. Been too long.

Yep, that's exactly what I do when I score some. I become so mellow and chilled whilst smoking it that I never feel sociable and even basic conversation is a chore. Taking the first puff of a joint as I'm sat down watching a TV show or movie (safe in the knowledge that I have a full bag of weed in reserve!) is one of life's great feelings as far as I'm concerned.

I was just reading back a few pages and the keef thing blew my mind (never heard of it until now)... I just looked in my grinder and there's definitely some residual golden/browny dust in the bottom opening.. I wonder if I can get high off of that..

What post about keef? What did you learn?
 
There was a discussion about it on page 25. I literally just learnt it existed. I'd never even investigated my grinder enough to know it was collecting some gold dust under there.

Oh, I see. Yeah, some grinders come with chambers designed for collecting keef. I knew a guy who left his alone for so long it became like a paste. He had to scrape it out with a key to top off a bowl. Great high, though.

hmm try this:
http://webehigh.org/sheffield-south-yorkshire-united-kingdom/

I live I Nottingham and since its such a student focused city, I actually get a lot of dealers contacts by them just handing out their cards to me!

Ha. Thanks dude. I've actually walked past the market area and smelt weed a few times before and noticed Rastafarians there but I dunno if I've got the balls to ask. I imagine a Larry David situation ensuing...

Remember the first time I tried, I took a huge hit of a bong. Then moments later a second hit and my friend had put some crystal objects into the bong. He then told me me to hit it and to trust him, I'd like it. I had a bad trip, my breathing was freaking me out more than anything. I had to go outside and every thing was unpleasant and slowed for a while. Is this normal or was I just being a wuss? Only tried it once.

I feel like I'll never enjoy it properly like some others can and that gives me a sad face.

The more you smoke the greater your tolerance level will be. I've never had a truly bad high, to be honest, but the slight nausea I felt the first few tries I had weed were a thing of the past soon enough.

100% normal. Most people who get high for the first time freak out a bit because they don't know what kind of feeling to expect. If that little seed of paranoia gets planted, it can be hard for newbies to sit back and enjoy. Give it a few more tries.

The first time I smoked was at a music festival. I smoked at our camp site and was super high. I remember FREAKING OUT as we were walking toward the stage area because there were so many people around me. I had a bit of a panic attack once we actually got to the stage because i felt like I was being smothered so I had to walk out of the crowd.

Now, I pretty much smoke every day and I love it. Don't let your initial reactions get you down. If you still don't like it after the 3rd time, I'd say you probably aren't going to like it.

Is there a trick to waking up feeling refreshed rather than groggy after smoking the night prior?

I just smoked for the first time in a while last night(will likely not be switching jobs) and the sleep was so damn good. Had weird as fuck dreams though.

Good thread. Don't know how it's allowed to exist after our awesome marijuana thread was nuked from orbit.

I've had m grinder for 5 years now. Best $40 I ever spent.
 
Got really high last night. I don't smoke a lot cause I have asthma but sometimes its hard to say no lol.

I think it makes my nose bleed though, so I try not to smoke when asked.

Okay Neogaf what the fuck!? My dog killed/ate part of a fucking opossum!!! What the fuck, I saw her drag is body around and thought it was a toy or something. I turned on my flashlight in my phone and it was the dead body!! Can my dog get rabies from this!??!?I hope not. =(((
 
I'm going to be in heaven when the dispensaries open up here this summer as I have never had a consistent guy. Until then it's a few more months of inconsistency.
 
Smokin' my last bowl for a while tonight due to money constraints. Plus, school's starting up so I could use one less distraction. Good thing my grinder's base is caked with keef. Gettin' REAL weird.

Legalization in those states probably played a part.

I'm curious about that...what's it like Washington and Colorodo-gaf

I've heard a few sports bars have taken advantage of this:

So I've had my MFLB for a while now and I love vaping. It's really good for being discreet especially.

One thing though, some of you guys say you get higher from vaping than you do smoking and I can't say I've had that experience. I'm high for sure but it is a gradual high and I never feel like the peak hits the same high I can get from smoking. When I smoke I can go from zero to BAKED in no time but vaping doesn't give me that same, immediate "holy shit, I'm baked" feeling I can get from smoking a bowl or 2.

Any tips? Or is this just not possible? I tried doing a half weed / half keef mix but even that didn't do it for me as much as I was hoping.
 
What gets you higher:

Dumping your kief on top of your last bowl pack

OR

Converting your kief into hash (sort of) by via compaction and heat, THEN dumping that on the bowl?

For clarity, I am gonna put my kief on a sheet of wax paper and iron it. Or I might try another method if someone suggests something better.

Hi folks, so i'm a bit new to getting high and had a question that keeps popping up at the back of my head. Might be a dumb question. I don't know, but i'll shoot anyway.

Is it normal to be hallucinating/having a wild imagination when you're high? All i'll need is a few hits and i'm gone. I'm a bit afraid that my guy might be spiking my weed.
You would probably know if it was spiked. It's rare that someone will cut weed with another drug, because usually it's more expensive than just selling the pot by itself. Nothing weird about your mind going crazy, just try to enjoy it! Ponder the meaning of life and the universe, play some video games, watch TV/anime, listen to music... Anything that keeps your mind occupied will do, and you'll find that your high is much better for it.

Oh, I see. Yeah, some grinders come with chambers designed for collecting keef. I knew a guy who left his alone for so long it became like a paste. He had to scrape it out with a key to top off a bowl. Great high, though.
I've got a three-chamber grinder and it's fucking awesome. Way better than my old two-chamber one.

Then moments later a second hit and my friend had put some crystal objects into the bong.
You should definitely ask what he put in. In my experience, mixing weed with anything else can lead to less than ideal results.

Got really high last night. I don't smoke a lot cause I have asthma but sometimes its hard to say no lol.

I think it makes my nose bleed though, so I try not to smoke when asked.
I have pretty bad asthma as well. You should definitely try vaping, as it's much better for you than smoking. I vape and it doesn't irritate my lungs at all.

I'm curious about that...what's it like Washington and Colorodo-gaf
Not much has changed for Washington yet, other than the fact that it's now totally legal to walk up to a cop while you're juggling a zip full of weed.

Part of the "high" you get from smoking comes from your body's negative reaction to all of the butane, ash, and other shit you're inhaling along with the THC. It's similar to asphyxiation, as you're starving your brain of oxygen for a short time, and all your blood has to absorb is smoke and THC. Vaping is no different from leaning over some boiling water on the stove and inhaling, it's not going to deprive you of anything.

It's a matter of personal preference, but I generally prefer the smoother high of vaporizing.

If you want to get absolutely retarded without smoking, your best bet is probably going to be edibles.

Dumping your kief on top of your last bowl pack
That's what I do. Scrap bowls are great. If I forget and let it just build up, all kief isn't too bad either.

Haha I was wondering why I hadn't seen you in this thread.

Just picked up an eighth of Blue Dream that got delivered to my house via a clinic that my roommate frequents. Still boggles my mind that clinics in Cali have been delivering to houses for the last few years.

Blue Dream is probably my fav strain of all time along with Bubba Kush and Strawberry Cough.

Blue Dream is what I am having at this moment. Had only had it once before and that was in amsterdam.

I've been hearing the name Blue Dream a lot lately. This one lady I met once said it helped her illness, but I can't remember what she said she had that it helped with so much. She said it was the only strain that did the trick. Makes me wonder what's so special about it compared to other strains. I wish I lived in a medical state so I could find out for myself.

I love it because it gives you a mellow high without getting you to fucked up. I like the 23% THC buds once awhile, but sometimes they're just to much. I can't hang like I did when I was younger and hotboxing with blunts.

Picked up a little Earwax hash, a few edibles, and a half oz. of Sour Diesel. It shall be a fine evening.

Going to the store to buy weed is the future. Some have had it before, I have it now, and eventually all will have it. And what a glorious time that will be.

It's also nice to just be able to buy weed without having to deal with high-school kids, wannabe gangsters, and burnouts who don't even know what month it is. Much more pleasant to have a respectable exchange over the counter, and part ways like adults.

Interesting. A "smooth" high is a good way to describe vaping. I think vaping is good for me when I just want to chill out and smoking is better when i want to get super duper high.

I think I might try making some firecrackers this weekend. Sounds easy as hell and I need to try edibles. Maybe I'll try using my vaped weed....

Firecrackers are wonderful, I get super high for at least a couple hours when I make them. Don't be afraid to cook them longer than guides online tell you, the longer you cook the better. If they taste like shit, then you know you're going to get baked.
 
I love how this is now the go-to getting high thread.

Plan to pick up some grass from a new dealer this week. new city, new roots. Let's see what happens. So difficult finding anything out here, wish me luck!

What does UK GAF usually get for £30?

For a 20 bag I'll get anywhere from 1.8 g upto 2.4g depending on the strain and dealer.

Finally got some more bud. Quite a fucking adventure though. I don't know anyone who sells around here so I have to go through these two brothers (male siblings not black friends) I know in Milwaukee, over an hour away. Pick them up last night, they'd said "I promise bro no more than 20 minutes away", and I end up driving four people around between Milwaukee and Waukesha in my tiny little car until 2am and didn't get home until 3. Along the way, I stepped foot in a dorm room for the first time in nearly a decade, drove around aimlessly for an hour and a half while some 20 year old girl mumbles directions to her "best friend's house" which we never found because she didn't know his address, listened to wub-wub-dwub-dubstep for 45 minutes too long (or, 45 minutes), and nearly shit my pants after making a right at a green light onto a street that a cop was stopped at and watched in my rear view mirror as he sped into a u-turn and followed me for nearly a mile with an ounce of weed and (to my surprise) a freshly opened bottle of beer in the back seat. I drove like a boyscout and he eventually turned, and I breathed the biggest sigh of relief in my life. The whole time I kept telling myself "you're gonna get shit sleep tonight but tomorrow night, with thursday off, you're gonna be grateful for this."

Lately I've been finding myself lying down on a bed after lighting up one or two. The effects amplifies and I stay relaxed for hours this way, however sometimes it can get a bit too much, anyone got some more experience that way? Usually I either stand when outside or sit straight up on a chair when inside

Think of it as an investment. Usually doing impromptu annoying missions like these means you'll get fatter bags and hooked-up in the future.

What are fun video games while smoking?

edit: we settled on l4d2
Anything that's not too demanding, unless you can operate at normal capacity when you're high. Casual shooters, most modern MMOs, and RPGs are all good choices. Been playing a lot of Secret World recently while stoned and it's fucking amazing, especially the story missions.

I swear l4d2 is the best game ever to play while high. It seems like it shouldn't be, but it is. I guess when you play it long enough and get comfy there's a certain casualness about it that takes over.

Although I do remember this one time I was playing with some strangers and this one dude came on for like a sec and said, "fuck....I can't handle this, I'm too baked" and left as a horde was coming. That had me rolling on the floor for a bit.
