Getting high

Well guys I have an update regarding my court case that was today.

To recap and make a long story short:

I was recently charged with possession of under an ounce in Georgia (It was less than a gram and it wasn't even on me. My friend who was near me had it on him) and I recently moved to California. My lawyer represented me in court.


Anyway, my lawyer called me today regarding my punishment. I have to go to a drug and alcohol evaluation to determine whether I am a drug addict, I have to attend a MADD seminar, I have to do 50 hours community service, pay 400 dollars in court fees, and I have to take 3 drug tests separated 30 days apart. I did the calculations and found out that the soonest I can smoke again is the second week of April.

And the lawyer knows the prosecutor so this is the best that he could get for me. I think it could have potentially been worse.

Shit sucks man.

Hang in there. The bright side (if there is one) is that, it is going to be one hell of a T-break.

Your tolerance will be amazingly low.
 
Unless you are in a specific situation, I don't see the appeal of edibles. I've heard too many stories of either failed attempts or people getting too ripped.
If you get it right you can get a really nice high for like six hours. It's great in general but especially for traveling in my experience

The whole situation is dumb man, I'm sorry to hear you're going through that. On the bright side, you're going to have one hell of a party in April because you're going to be able to smoke just in time for the holiday...

Hell yeah dude. I'm also gonna try and get a med card when this shit blows over. On the bright side drug tests cant easily detect psychedelics either. ;)

Is your first time smoking usually pretty bad? I'd actually smoked a few times before hand but nothing really happened as opposed to Saturday night where I definitely had a reaction but fucking hated it. Went through these different phases: first just kind of felt like I was drunk and disconnected from my body, then my heart started racing like crazy and I was really tense for a few minutes and had trouble concentrating on anything, then my head started hurting (especially whenever I moved it) and I had to stay still to numb the pain, and then I finally ended up getting nauseous and throwing up everywhere in some lady's lawn. Holy shit it was bad. Also completely lost track of time so two hours fucking flew by. Did I overdo it? I sure as hell don't ever want to go through that again.
 
okay this song is wrinkling my brain

firecracker fail last night :((

I dunno what I did wrong. I guess I could have ground my stuff up better and mixed it w/ the peanut butter before hand (I just spread it on top).

I did 320 for 23 minutes. They seemed like they could have been cooked a little longer I guess? Oh well.

Yep, that might have been a bit too hot.

Edibles are amazing. You gotta find that sweet point in between.

Sounds like you found something alot more potent than your first couple of times. You may have also been uncomfortable where you were, not sure if you were drinking but that will enhance smoking x10 depending on the person. My first few times ever smoking didn't have much of an affect. When I smoked some good bud for the first time, I had a racing heart along with anxiety and it wasn't a pleasant experience. The same would happen the next few times but I learned to pace myself and know my limits. Now today I can smoke the finest reefer all day long and will never achieve that same feeling. I'm not sure why I stuck with it feeling the way I did back then.
 
Regulate ALL of it. Let people get high on whatever they want in their spare time, ESPECIALLY in the privacy of their own home, and let the government get some revenue from it. It would likely defuse the drug trafficking problem. A lot of good would come of it.

Were you drinking? That could be it. Or maybe you smoked a ton of some really potent stuff. Nothing like that has ever happened to me personally. Sorry to hear that it sucked for you, hope it doesn't turn you off for good.

You guys got it pretty good, as shitty as that is. My friend's been rotting in Saudi prison for 8 months just waiting to be tried. The way they do it here is exceptionally sneaky. Whoever cops catch holding any amount, they coax him into writing a bullshit confession. Afterwards, they get you to call up your dealer and pretend to buy something so they can swoop in and apprehend him. But like anything else in Saudi, if you've got the right connections, the world is your oyster.

That happened to me the first time. Extremely dry mouth, nausea which inevitably led to lots of vomiting. Hasn't happened a single time since and that was 3 years ago.
 
So all of my connections have moved on to bigger and better things. Haven't smoked in about 5 days now.. got offered some tonight and said fuck it and passed on it. Think I'm gonna take a break for awhile I guess, save some money and try to move somewhere where it's legal. Cheers braj'ses, I'll live vicariously through you guys. Oh and btw OG-MJ thread was the best gaf thread ever!

I smoked sporadically since '08. Around this year (meant 2012) I started smoking more regularly (maybe twice a month or maybe 3). Always because my friend was the one that gets it. I've been smoking daily for over a month now since now I can afford it. Since then, it has been the best month ever. I've been able to think about a lot of things, appreciate a lot of things that I didn't before, I've been able to stay motivated in the gym and eat healthy believe it or not. It has been amazing. It has also made me a happier person, more tolerant of things. I dunno..

I've heard decent things, but if you can spend a little bit more, the WISPR has been giving me amazing results on the run.



Hey, anybody in or around Madrid is invited to the Grand Volcano Premiere Party.

That's why I got the thing! The whole big ass balloon thing is very social and fun.

Also, ever since my girl and I tried it in Amsterdam we've been wanting one. The taste you get using that thing is unmatched.
When I go to Madrid again I will let you know!

You know what's fucking awesome? Getting high and then going for a nice walk, preferably in a nice park or in the great outdoors. Sucks that there is almost nothing that fits that bill around here.

Reminds me of tripping my balls out on a summer day in a flower garden last year on shrooms. With weed I'm mostly in the mood for walking around, swimming is great. With shrooms I just sat in front of my parents garden in amazement.

Yep, that might have been a bit too hot.

but they didn't seem burnt at all. They were warm when I took them out but not crazy hot or anything. Even so, I may have basically burned the THC away if it was too hot?? I saw that graphic on here and did some research on other forums and a lot people had success at my temps/time.... it's weird. I'll try to follow the graphic precisely next time and see what happens. Didn't mix the peanut butter/doj, so I'll do that as well.

Popped 3 Vicodin tonight. It was cool, a light body high. Bought them from some dude for $7

Drink one beer with those and you'll be in what I call the zone. 3-5 Norcos/Vics and a tall can is my favorite high ever.

I picked up 7 g's of shake from a clinic for $30 last night. Got a blunt rolled that I'm about to spark up. I wish I knew how to roll a joint. I've rolled hundreds of blunts in my time but for some reason I get nervous and/or just don't get around to rolling J's.

Just got back from having some dinner and drinks with my pops and I just sparked up myself. Got a little Daughn Gibson playing in the background. Good shit.

Hah thanks for the link, sounds great. That was one of my favorite things about that other thread - all the great music that I had never heard before that was getting introduced to me while faded.
 
First time I had edibles, I underestimated their power. I went to this outdoors concert thing in Tucson, with my roommate during my freshman year. I was so blasted that I didn't say a word. So my roommate pushed me around. (I'm in a wheelchair *See avatar*)Girls would come up to my roomie and tell him how he's so sweet for "taking me out."

TL;DR, I was so high folk thought I was cognitively not all there lmao

Anyone had experience with oxy after consuming alcohol? Like 1 hour after?

Would really like to nod off but been drinking tonight.

Please do.



Edibles are like playing MGS2 on European Extreme with Game Over if Discovered. It can be super fun and incredibly rewarding, as well as a different type of experience.

But if you don't know exactly what you are doing, you are heading face first into a world of hurt, and there is nothing you can do about that.

Been there, done that.

I would recommend you do not mix oxy and alcohol, for various reasons. One, its dangerous and two the hangover is one of the worst in the world IMO.

Having one or two beers is OK but after that you're really pushing it.

With edibles you mean space cake or something like it (cookies, whatever)? It can be great, it can be hell. I've had the most hilarious laughing fits ever - but have also been vomiting into roof gutters because of the cake.

Practice makes perfect! There's a slight learning curve, but no harder than the learning curve of rolling blunts.

I was the same way as you, until I just started to want to roll Js instead. The good thing is that papers hardly ever go to waste, unless a bad dutch or whatever you may be rolling blunts out of. (I use RAW brand natural hemp papers). You can also start w/ a joint roller, which is what I did...then I got tired of using it, but it's super super easy.

I haven't rolled a blunt in a couple years, now. It's all about joints and my MFLB although I'm still partial to smoke as opposed to vapor.

So me and my roomies are looking into splitting a bong or vape. Just wondering, but what would y'all suggest? I know a vape is healthier but does it really make that much of a difference? What's the difference between the highs? Oh and our budget is between $100 and $250 split three way.

Bong and vape are not mutually exclusive. I Had a special bowl for my bong that allowed me to vape weed using a heat gun. You could do it with a normal bowl but it would be a bit more difficult. You could get a very nice ice catcher glass bong with an extra bowl, if desired, for <$125.

Why not have both? Get and MFLB for, like, $90 and then get a bong as well. ;)

But honestly, I can't speak for bongs. The reason I like vaping is because it doesn't irritate my lungs and it's more efficient (for me, anyway). "Healthier" is a nice bonus. I enjoy my clean high, and now realize that I really hate even the mere idea of combustion. Bongs at least are a nice middle ground from what I've heard.

In terms of the high itself, I guess it's a bit more "headdy" than smoking, but overall it hasn't been that much different to me. The biggest difference is that my chest doesn't feel like it's on fire. Also, smoking was more of an instant punch, where vaping was more of a gradual onset (which can sometimes make it harder to tell if you've had enough or not).

I've been clean for a few weeks now and all this talk is making me wish I could dabble a bit, but I'm going to be patient.

I'd go with bong for roomies, then buy a MFLB for yourself on the side.

Love to smoke up when I get home and take my dogs on a long walk. No better feeling

Had some vodka with my smoking last night, was pretty nice actually. Munched on a bag of Chili Cheese Fritos and Pizza Rolls, played some Super Nintendo.
 
Damn, I wanna smoke so bad. I have a lot of weed but I can't smoke it because of random drug testing at my high school. The last time I smoked was three weekends ago during which I smoked 3 bowls. I may try and light up during the next few weeks with some friends but I'm wary.

Man, how is drug testing high school students even legal? This wasn't even a thing when I was in school, but that was a looooong time ago.

At mine it was if you had a parking pass or were in a sport. Still BS. Though a lot of people went multiple times, since it was random and you weren't taken out of the pool if you were chosen.

I'm going on a voluntary tolerance break, I've been smoking too much as of late. My first high coming back will be from edibles made from AVB, so I will be out of this world I'm sure.
