Getting high

The best .gif I ever saw while I was high was something from the perspective of a subway, like it was a timelapse of just the journey through the tunnels from the view of the train. I loved it, I felt like I was on a journey. Wish I could find similar stuff.

You ever try binaural beats? Something a lot of you May enjoy while high. Actually I believe being high helps you be more receptive to them

Managed to resist my first weekend without weed. It feels strange.

I've got enough for five or six joints and then I'm done. And I don't know when I'll be re-upping either. The last batch I bought was complete shit (that's what I'm finishing up.) I can't drop $100 again for complete shit.

Smoking, playing Jet Set Radio on XBLA, episode 5 of Vikings on the shelf. Weathers fine, sunshine in my room for the first time in months, baked a loaf of banana bread and got some left-over Efes beers in the fridge. Enjoying the GITS in Klangkarussell's Sternenkinder. Shit be noflik.
 
Baked Doritos are the worst fucking munchies

What a dick. Who throws out shit that isn't theirs?

Reupping this week with some Fire OG. It was either that or Lemon Skunk...I can't do something with the word skunk in it lol.

Yep. Rookie move. Gonna chew em out when he gets back. Was looking forward to my glazy Sunday. :(

Just gonna finish off the rest of this Cinderella 99 before I reup.

he probably is. i know nothing puts me out like weed.

Depends, indicas yea. Some sativas give me a bit of energy.

I do like to sleep after getting high but at the same time feel like it's a waste. I could have spent a little more time listening to amazing music. I like to wait until I start coming down before I sleep

This exactly.

Just picked up some grapefruit this week. It's been a good weekend.

I finally get what people say that the high from edibles is different than smoking. I feel that edibles when dosed properly are great, its just that if i go over that dose then i;m just zoning. If i take it slow, eat 1 brownie instead of 2 than im at this great buzz. Prefer it to the high from smoking.

Went to watch the Blue Jays play today in Toronto. Blazed a big J with my buddy and just zoned out for 3 hours watching the game.... It was surreal, looking at the players and just watching the game unfold. I don't think I have ever watched a game so intensely before lol, it might have helped that we had great seats and were close to the action. Anyone here watch live sports high? I like it and will defiantly do it again, just have to get over the feeling that people are looking at me or something.

I find that I get a similar high from vaping
 
How do you guys distinguish between sativas and indicas? I mean more on a physical level -- I know I can tell I'm high by how numb my fingers get, but is this something that would vary between sativas and indicas?

My friends did something silly and ate one of my 4 dose edibles last night. They're both lightweights and didn't know what they were getting themselves into.

One of them rode it pretty good, the other...

Nothing kills a good high harder than having to keep someone calm when they're tripping hard. I still did it out of friendship but damn, dude was buggin out hard!

generally by the smell and how they look. Indicas generally more darker, denser buds. Sativas are lighter greens, fluffier longer buds. And the smell is once you get accustomed to smelling different weeds you can tell what a haze etc type smell is.

And then theres a lot of hybrids out there which kind of confuse the whole thing more, but if their heavily dominant in indica or sativa you can normally tell.

Thanks, I've barely started to get into cannabis. How about physical sensations, like I know sativas are more stimulating and indicas are more sedating and they will make you feel things differently, you know?

So incredible the variety of effects between strains, I love it.

Here's a website I created in order to break the "lazy stoner" stereotype. I figured people in here would enjoy exploring it. The website is step 1 in my plan to help the legalization effort, enjoy.

Sativas give me more of a energetic head high. Also, really horrible anxiety.

Indicas give me more of a full body stuck to the couch high. Makes me want to eat and be lazy.

So yeah tried smoking for the first time since my last major panic attack. Made sure I was able to be alone for several hours so that I wouldn't be disturbed and that would mitigate the paranoia. I did fine. The next time I took a bit too much and I could feel my heart rate climb which set off the panic for a bit. I managed to calm down and rode it out fine. The only real issue both times was the dry throat feeling...it's a bit uncomfortable.

Smoked a tiny bit tonight. It feels better, but to be honest, I'm not getting much out of this. Really all I experience is short term memory loss. I feel a bit out of it as a result. No euphoria, but no anxiety either. It's just emotionless to me. I don't feel good or bad, just different.

I don't feel that strongly about smoking. I had my major panic attacks early on but I think I've gotten myself past that at this point. Beyond that, I don't really feel I get anything out of it. With drinking I become euphoric, confident, and talkative. With weed, I feel more detached from my mind, I feel like my sensations are lessened, and if anything a slight discomfort from being completely aware that I'm experiencing this change (which is likely what sets off the panic for me).
 
If you body and mind don't react to it in a way you're comfortable with, it's not your fault. I've never had any of those symptoms (panic attacks, especially) so I can't relate. At least you've given it a few fair shakes, right? Have you ever tried smoking with other people you're close with to see if it helps you keep calm?

Sorry to hear it's not your thing, but nothing is everybody's thing, haha.

It's all about doing something productive with the high, I think. I had the exact same issue as you. And I wanted to enjoy the high but I couldn't. Only recently have I realized that marijuana opens my mind and allows me to make associations better, and I can apply that to so many things. That "detachment from your mind" is something you can use to do good things. Once you start doing this, you become less aware that you are experiencing this change. That was my problem as well, and I am getting over that hump.

I've done it with friends before yeah...but maybe the circumstances were enough to trigger panic. The last time it happened, I felt my heart rate through my entire body which made me think I was having a heart attack, which further intensified the panic. I was out of commission for about 5 hours. That was from a bong rip from a habitual smoker friend though, so it was probably way too much for me.

I guess it could be the strain too. No idea what I'm smoking, and whether it's more on the sativa or indica side of things. It seems like that can change things quite a bit.

In any case, I wasn't exactly looking to start a new habit or anything. Just thought it could be a nice way to relax and get my mind off of things occasionally.

Have you ever tried just getting high alone, turn off the lights if need be, and listen to music? That's the only reason I would ever get high is to enhance my listening experiences and when I experience that sense of euphoria. My routine would be to smoke a bowl or two, put on my headphones, and listen to music.

Just recently I've started playing a few video games since building my PC and it's been a success.

Exodus, I'm sorry to hear that. I would guess since you haven't done it much that's why you're not enjoying it. Maybe it isn't for you but to me it feels like you're doing something wrong or missing out on something. What have you smoked with a pipe, bong, papers?

I've done paper and bong.

In any case, I'm not liking what it's doing to me today. I smoked like 0.25g 12 hours ago and I feel like my attention span and short term memory is shit right now. I'm fully alert right now, but I still feel rather disconnected in a sense.

I enjoy my highs more when I have a bit of a tolerance built up. Much more casual, and I always have the option to go sky high if I want.

How can you go sky high if you have a tolerance? I smoked too much over the weekend, last night tried to cap it off with a monster joint but it didn't do anything to me. I had to just give up and go to bed.

At least going to work is like daily rehab. By the time I get home that joint will work just fine.

That was my approach, as well, and after smoking different types of weed both alone and with friends over the past couple of months, I've found that it has almost no effect on me. I'm doing it "right," I'm doing a lot or a little... doesn't seem to matter. Bummed me out, because this just further exiles me from what everyone else gets to enjoy.

Have you had it in edible form?

I would keep trying, perhaps change it up a little with different strains and methods. I was exactly the same when I first tried it years ago...had no effect at all until one day it just hit me.

I've seen you around in the ambient music threads, the addition of cannabis would be a brilliant combination with ambient music :)

I'm gonna ask here since I know you guys should be able to help me out. I've been smoking in the balcony of my house since it's connected directly to my bedroom. But I rather turn this into a more private activity.

So instead of being out in the open on my balcony where neighbors can smell the weed, I rather smoke in my room. Problem is, I don't want any smell in my room or any of it getting into the house. From what I've seen online, it seems like the best thing to do is have the door closed with a towel in the bottom to cover the airflow there. I would leave my balcony door open. I would have a fan pointed to the window, and use a tube with dryer sheets and blow the smoke in there and into the fan. When I'm done, I would spray the room a bit. Would this work fine?

We were up on top of Stratton Ridge in the North Carolina Smokies, about 5200 feet up, this past weekend. Since we all live at 300-400 feet above sea level at home, we were lightheaded to start. We smoked a bowl and, wow, did we get a buzz. And the view was gorgeous.
I "highly" recommend climbing to the top of a mountain and smoking some. Probably best on a safe mountain on a nice day. I don't think rope climbing while high would be enjoyable.
Would y'all go hang gliding while high? I've surfed and it is nice on smaller waves when you don't have to think about it too much.
Went on the Chattooga River in section 3 during lower water in a canoe. We smoked at intervals. Nice time. But we had experience and knew how to run the hard parts.
And what about skydiving? Or scuba diving?

I will never understand why getting drunk is more socially acceptable (if not socially encouraged) than getting stoned. I'll hang out with stoners over drunks any day.

I don't know about anyone else but .25g in one sitting sounds like a lot to me, especially for a newcomer. Sounds like A LOT.

Well you're high, that's for sure. I would try doing different things (listening to music, playing games, doing art) and see how that feels. If you don't like doing any of that while high, maybe weed just isn't for you.
 
I love tweaking my game and making new entities/pixel art when I'm high, so much fun.

I think I'm going to make a mj themed game for a fun little side project.

so whats the average you guys smoke per day? I've been keeping it to a bowl a day, 2 max but my tolerance was getting low. I picked up some kief to layer with my bowl and was back to the original 4-5 hour high of the first joint I ever smoked. Although the effects weren't as strong I was pleased with the length of the high.

I heard some report recently about munchies and how the people surveyed smoked 10 joints a day. Is that normal?
