Getting high

I've been smoking for about 5 years (I started when I was 25) and at my worst (best?), I could smoke around an once every 3 weeks.

Yesterday. Yesterday, things changed.

I went outside to shovel snow and when I was done, still catching my breath, I smoked and started to cough like I had tuberculosis.

I went inside and jesus... The best way I could describe it is that I was seeing the future. I was living in the past and what I was experiencing at the moment was taking so long for my brain to grasp what was happening that I was really living it 5 minutes later.

So basically, I knew my GF would come and talk to me in the bedroom because I had already talked to her, but the conversation hadn't happened yet for me and I was getting anxious of what I would say even if I had already talked to her.

It was almost a bad trip but I turned that shit around with some of the best sex I had in over a year. Wasn't able to cum though but I did not even care...

Is it because I had done some physical activity just prior to smoking that I got so fucking high?

Some speculate that it "opens" up your lungs and more THC is absorbed.

It's pretty straightforward, actually. Your blood is pumping more quickly, and as a result, the effect comes on more quickly (and probably more powerfully).

Well, plants are like pets, you see.

I like cats more than dogs because they can live a happy life within the confines of your own home!

They're named Jordan and Domino (AKs), 苺 (Strawberry Cough) and Jackie (White Widow).

Previous ones were Mimi, Nicole and Katie. And that was my first try. Came out real nice!

Haha, awesome. Well, bravo. I really need to do some research and get an indoor grow going at my house. Maybe just one or two plants. It seems like it'd be so expensive, though.

I feel like i'm at a crossroad in life.

I've been smoking pot since I was 16 (24 now), sometimes heavily, sometimes casually. I feel like i'm at a point where my productivity is being hindered because of my desire to get high. I recently spent a year sober and found it to be really great for my mind, I exercised everyday, and I felt more outgoing and less timid around people. I started up again about 2 or 3 months ago and I feel like i'm slipping right back into the slump I was in. I've stopped running, I'm not getting anything done, and i'm feeling anxious about life.

I really enjoy getting high. I've tried many drugs and the one I cared for the most was always pot. I don't want to stop smoking it, but I want to be able to make it a special thing I only do once every few months. But in all honesty if it's in the house I don't think I can control myself. If I have a long day at work or a bad day, or hell if I get really bored, I know i'm going to smoke it.

Has anybody struggled with this kind of thing? Did you find some self control and make it work? Did you give it up for good? I honestly don't think I have the self control, which makes me very sad.

I hear that it's actually cheaper in the long run. Specially if you plan it a bit.

Also, there's the added pleasure of doing everything yourself. Makes the whole experience more worthwhile.

That's what I keep hearing.

Does it smell your place out? I'm really tempted to try growing my own since I can't find any pot elsewhere, but I rent so I'd be worried when the flat gets inspected and so on.

Well, there are things you can do to counter the smell and if you are smart and quiet about it, you shouldn't have much trouble, but any deliberate inspection done by anybody with half a mind will find the wardrobe.

Hm, probably not worth the risk then. Shame. The three things I want most in the world are the three things I can't get: weed, pussy and The Last Guardian.

I'm the opposite really, after getting everything done, weed is a nice way to wind down. It sort of motivates me, since o say to myself, finish homework and then I can get high or workout then get high. It also helps my social anxiety actually.

I don't have self control either, and the length of my use is similar to yours, I had to give it up to pursue other things, but in my experience even quitting out of an absence of self control is problematic if you aren't particularly motivated to quit for its own sake. I had tried in the past to quit just because my habit got out of hand, but I would always start again later on because I would miss it. Eventually I found the motivation to give it up because I got interested in meditation, and the brain fog from getting high all the time was really counterproductive. Eventually I found that I preferred the mental clarity from sobriety and meditation more than getting high, and now I don't miss it at all. I think the last time I smoked was in February 2012 after having quit sometime the previous August, and I immediately regretted it. So from my experience, quitting is the only thing that works if you have trouble moderating your behavior, but even that seems insufficient somehow, I needed to fill the gap with an overall better habit that I preferred to have in its place.

Just don't buy more. Having a stash in your house provides a source of comfort and after a while you start using pot to deal with various things (boredom, excitement, sadness, winding down, etc.). There are other things you can do in those situations, but since you generally default to pot so long as you have it around, you develop a habit that's hard to kick.

Next time you finish a batch, don't buy more. Don't buy more for a week. Then try two weeks. Then more. You might not even need more than a few days to get back in the groove work without it. If you're used to always having it around, it's hard not to go out and pick up even if you're not planning on using it right away.

If all else fails, consider this: The less you smoke, the higher you'll get off smaller portions of weed. Dem's just good money saving tactics, is all!

Stop smoking the chronic. As an old man I can't do the chronic regularly anymore. Low grade stuff is just fine with me these days, especially w/my budget.

Not exactly. It's like every three months just to make sure we haven't smeared shit on the walls or something. I've been here for two and a half years now so you think she'd have a bit of trust by now. Although, to be fair, I am enquiring about growing weed on here so maybe she does have me pegged.

I'm getting more and more tempted to try Silk Road but knowing my luck I'll end up in jail for a drug less harmful than fucking alcohol.

Have some sour diesel in now; my favorite. Wifey is due in April w/ baby so I may take a break sorta around that time. I am 33 now; been smoking since I was 18. I am dreading taking a break but the wife is really cracking down on me. Oh well, I will enjoy this last batch and go from there.

absolutely. I have a love/hate relationship with weed. Taking a little break until this coming weekend. I need to practice more control and take these 5 or so day breaks more often.

I swear it makes me draw A LOT better though. I'm so much smoother and I feel like I just naturally can put to paper easier what I have in my mind. Kinda sucks in a way because I feel like a need a drug sometimes to practice my creativity. I guess something I need to work on. I doubt I'll ever totally quit though, at least in the near future.

I feel the same. I spend hours working on a a song to the point where it losses meaning to me (like saying a word to yourself over and over again until it losses meaning) and I no longer can find the passion to create anything new with it. But if i smoke a bowl new ideas begin to easily flow.

But I do think I can work without it. I'm almost out, maybe I will see how long I can go sober again. I don't know, i've heard people say if you spend your life avoiding something it still controls you, and I feel that there might be something to that statement.

What are people's experience with getting high while prescribe antidepressants? The free clinic's doctor was pretty adamant that I stopped smoking, and I'll admit I've been getting paranoid and having bad experiences on weed. But damn I miss the anticipation of grinding the nugs and packing a bowl. Tears.

Fuck yeah. I should be able to get some weed this Sunday! I'm also heading to my Mum's on Friday who always has some. Things are finally starting to look up!

My MFLB should arrive just in time too!

I got really paranoid smoking on Cymbalta. No so much on Prozac. I don't remember the quality difference of the weed tho.

I do know this, I get a lot less high alone these days. You should be able to just take a few hits every 30-40 minutes and get a nice constant buzz to enjoy what you want to enjoy, but also have the ability to stop paranoia at will. My friend will smoke multiple blunts alone. I just can't do it, but it doesn't matter. I'll always be a light weight.

If people are going to use it medicinally, it makes sense to consider the correct "dosage" for yourself? It does to me at least.

I'm convinced that the best part of using a vape, specifically a MFLB is the god damn taste!

Seriously, I love the taste of really good herb and using a pipe or waterpipe doesn't really allow for it unless you have some really sticky stuff.

i've been prescribed a small dosage of sertraline and it isn't too terrible. i do need to watch how much i inhale though, my only negative experiences have been on the medication after too much. i don't really get paranoid at all.
