Getting high

You guys smoke resin?

I used to, back when I had to get it from a dealer. I would run out and some nights I couldn't find any. Being the fiend for buds I am, I would smoke resin to hold me over. Now this is never a problem because I am a CA medical MJ patient and there are 5 clubs within a mile of my work. If I run out, the only one to blame is me for not rationing buds/money better.

EDIT: Resin is a really poor substitute when it comes to smoking actual bud. Worse high, bad taste.
 
My last pickup from my guy before I get my club card.

I can't wait to try out the edibles at all the different clubs here, anyone here in SF have any recommendations for clubs?
 
Any of you guys been to O.Z.O.R.A. or BOOM festival? I depserately wnt to go to O.Z.O.R.A. this year, but there's absolutely no chance I'll make it. Tickets are still on sale, but it's all the way in Hungary... one day.

So what's the deal with rolling joints in a cone rather than a cylinder?

In any case, I think I need some tobacco to thin out whatever I smoke in the future. I smoke so little that my joints end up being super tiny. Like 2cm long (minus the filter) and 3mm in diameter, heh.

Anyways, almost done with my little solo experimentation with weed. After having so many bad experiences smoking with friends I was glad that I was able to work out my issues on my own in the comfort of my own home. I've had a few dangerous highs at the start where I felt uncomfortable (especially after eaten ~1g of edibles). But now I think I've worked through my issues and can feel comfortable throughout the high now. I also know my tolerance and that I really don't need to take much at all to get a smooth high.

Honestly, I don't know what to think. I would never want to be high all the time. It's hard to say if I enjoy the effects or if I'm indifferent to them. So far what I like the most is that it puts me to sleep. I have trouble going to sleep at a reasonable hour and this just makes it way easier. My eyelids feel heavy and my train of thought has a greater chance to seep into nothingness. Then again, the occasional dry mouth or congestion sometimes counteracts that, annoyingly (though that seems to be becoming less of an issue as time goes on).

Anyways, I have enough for one slightly larger smoke than usual then I'm out. Don't know if I'll re-up or not.
 
Haha, I just had the most pathetic shitty free high after "running out of weed" ever. Haven't gotten any in two months and haven't smoked at all in at least six weeks. Been desperate to smoke up for a while now cuz I miss 'that feeling'. Last week I got desperate and after searching the nightstand and the surrounding carpet I found a dried up piece of weed with some dust on it on the floor or under my speaker or something. Threw that in my bowl and it was such a tease. Today I couldn't stand it any longer so I pulled out all my items, and realizing that I've scraped off every last bit of everything, I took out my bowl, removed the screen I'd been using to smoke up all the weed remnants and realized the screen was totally blocked with gunk, and lit up a bowl full of nothing, really getting that flame all around and down inside, and exhaled after the longest breath I could hold the nastiest smoke I've ever tasted.

Best high ever.
Dude. You're just broke or can't find any dealers? Cause that's some weird shit, smoking speaker dust.

Guys I'm thinking about becoming straight edge so I can focus more on school. Not like the "fuck you, any and all intoxicants are bad and you should feel bad" kind of straight edge, just for practical reasons.

If you gotta do it, you gotta do it. Weed personally hasn't affected my grades, my GPA has only risen since I've started it up. But you should remove anything from your life if you feel as if it is getting in the way of actual productive things, like school or work. I view weed as something I do in my free time, like video games. And like video games, I would give it up if it began to get in my way of accomplishing things I want to do in my life.

Nothing wrong with that. It'll be worth it when you finish up with your school work and jump back into pot with a depleted tolerance. You'll get more bang for your hard-earned buck that way.

I thought about it, but it's not for me. So instead I just watch my consumption and limit it to weekends as best as I can. It could be rough at the beginning, but it really does take time to build up that discipline.

Ate two pot brownies saturday chillin with a bunch of friends. Turned out to be an awful experience, but it's my fault for eating two. I ate one around noon, all my other friends had one too, but they were smoking too through out the day. (I only smoke occasionally now as I don't like actually smoking). So about an hour later they're all ripped and I'm sitting there thinking damn I'm not even baked. Friend tells me to have another brownie and I went for it. What a fucking mistake that was. By 2 I was so high I couldn't take it, there was so much going on in the room and it was like my mind was focusing on everything at once. I felt like I could feel my eyes working if that even makes sense, it was the strangest feeling. Eventually I had to get up and go lay in a room by myself so I could just focus on one thing because I was starting to freak out. Ended up passing out for like 6 hours and woke up still feeling a little high. Ended up going out to a few parties that were fun so it didn't end up a total bust.

If I had only eaten like half of the 2nd brownie it probably would have been fucking awesome. But nope, had to eat the whole 2nd one... first time i've ever been way to high

The autistic high is never a fun high

If there's something really important I need to do, I'll take a break until I have a good handle on it.

Both, heh. I've also been trying not to buy any more, but I may break down at some point.

I brushed the speaker dust off btw.

Smoked two bowls tonight. This high is incredible, staring at the full moon while stoned is a very profound experience I couldn't pass up.

This is the kind of stuff I love to do. When I am super baked I'll just put on some music, lay on the couch and look at the sky/tree outside my window. Always a fun experience to just let my mind wander for a while.
 
"Why is it that people think it's so evil? What is it about it that scares people so deeply, even the guy that invented it, what is it? Because they're afraid that there's more to reality than they have ever confronted. That there are doors that they're afraid to go in, and they don't want us to go in there either, because if we go in we might learn something that they don't know. And that makes us a little out of their control".

Damn had a Canasoda for the first time and it was amazing. Its a strangely different high from eating an edible and it hits you a lot quicker.

So good, I just made some French Toast and Bacon.

Just got some blue cheese from a good buddy, it's great.

Blue cheese is amazing, Really nice high from it.

I'm smoking some jack Herer atm, Shit's so energetic. I can't even sleep when I'm baked on the stuff lol i have to wait till the high calms down before trying to nod off.

I really need to try smoking and gym, but I can't see myself being productive. What strain do you use? and pipe or vape?

My bad I missed your post. I don't really know about strains, I need to learn about all of this stuff. But for example I'm pretty sure when I posted that I was on Sour Kush. Also, I smoke off a bong.

It feels really different. Like, during sets I'm just really concentrated on doing them properly and the pain at the end of sets is a bit less intense. Between sets I'm just spacing off and enjoying my high. I dunno, it's different and I really enjoyed it.

Btw I started playing LoL but I lost the post in the thread. What was your name on there?

Dropped LSD for the second time last night. What an amazing drug.

Nice, care to share how it was? That's the one thing I really want to try so I never get tired of hearing about people's experiences with it.

I had a dream I was trippin out hard. I was at a party and the shit hadn't hit me, so I was going home. When i got to this bridge it hit me and all the cars became floating lights, the dividing line in the middle became a streak of blood and I flew off of the bridge in my car and I was freaking out.

Sure. My first experience was just over a month ago where i took a single tab and i was tripping nicely for a good 6 hours. All of my other friends took between 2-4 as they were more experienced then i was but i was satisfied with my experience none the less. This time i decided to up the dose to two tabs as i felt i could get a more enjoyable experience out of it without being out of my comfort zone judging from my first experience and i was right.

It came on fast and within the first 45 minutes i was already feeling it pretty hard, the first out of my friends to do so. I could feel an energy rushing through my body and a smile appeared on my face that wouldn't disappear for the next 5 hours. Gradually, new colours were taking form around the room and everything appeared to be in 'HD'. After an hour or so the room had never looked so interesting and i spent the next few hours exploring as much as i could but it felt like there were always tons of new things to discover, like a kid in a candy shop. I stared up at the ceiling for a good while and saw what i described to the others as cave paintings in motion, taking different forms as if they were telling me a story. Music was sublime and each song felt as if it were entering my entire being and just massaging every part of the me. I lay on the bed and looked out the window at the clouds which were a perfect white, floating through a perfectly blue sky whilst listening the Gorillaz - Meloncholy Hill. The clouds were changing colour and shape to the music and the trees were swaying majestically, it was so beautiful i had to fight back the tears. My brain was processing so many emotions and thoughts over the entirety of the trip, it was just super emotional.

We decided to go and sit outside after a few hours as it was such a beautiful day outside. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, a church bell was chiming in the backround and the colours had never looked so pure and intense. We all discussed how perfect this moment was and how we take nature for granted. As the effects slowly wore off we went for walk through a beautiful neighbourhood that was known for it's grand houses and idyllic properties. We kept walking higher and higher until we came to a bench at the top which looked over our whole town, we sat down and stared at the view, speechless at it's beauty. The sun was starting to set over the horizon, a slither of orange left. The sky was now a mix of pink and purple and the town never looked so at peace.

All in all it was just a perfect day and i can't wait to do it again, if you ever get the to try it chance then certainly do so. Just make sure you know that it's LSD and the dosage, there's a lot of crappy stuff going around unfortunately.

That sounds so fantastic, fuck I need to try this. How often would this be safe to use? I've heard some people say they only mess with this once, maybe twice a year. Too bad I can't get any of that shit around here. Maybe when I go on vacation to the states I'll get my hands on some. Just a quick question since you didn't mention it. While on the effects of it, how is the high itself? I know you see a bunch of shit but do you feel amazing the whole time or what? Can you compare it to weed since that's all I know. You said a rush of energy hits you and you can't stop smiling, which leads me to believe you feel real nice?

LSD is very safe when compared to other drugs, pretty much on the same page as weed. It's impossible to overdose on and there are no lasting side effects. There's the whole rumour that LSD stays in your spine but that's an urban myth and there's no scientific evidence to back it up. As long as you have a relatively stable mind and you're in a good place in your life then you're good to go. LSD basically enhances whatever feelings you have at that moment in your mind so if you have anything that's troubling you and getting you down i wouldn't really advise it.

I don't think there's really a need to take LSD more than once a month, although i've known people do it every week and they're still sane, it's just your mind may get used to the state it's in on LSD if you do it too often. Your body builds up a tolerance to it exceptionally fast so if you do it within the same week you will need to double your dose or more to reach the same effects. You would have to wait between 2 weeks - a month for you to reach zero tolerance again.

The high itself is amazing. An overwhelming sense of elation and a beautifully euphoric feeling that you are connected to everything around you, everything becomes one. Your brain will be processing so many thoughts and emotions at once it can become a bit overwhelming at first but you just have to let yourself go. It's just hours of bliss pretty much. I can't really compare the high itself to weed as they are completely different but i guess there are slight similarities to the really euphoric highs you get when you smoke a nice sativa strain and go for a walk, where everything just seems better. I guess if you multiplied that feeling tenfold you could gain a relative idea.
 
How can weed be psychologically addictive, but not physically addictive? A psychological addiction is physical, is it not? Your thoughts are physical, regulated via the brain. My point is that your brain is an organ and it's not outside the physical realm of the body, as nothing really is (everything about you--personality, "soul"--is tangible). Your thoughts influence changes in the brain, based on our knowledge of mental health.

A couple days ago I ripped a bong a few times, and later smoked a blunt and two joints. The next morning I was still feeling sluggish, and slept more than usual. There are depressant effects at work with marijuana (as well as the psychoactive, stimulant properties depending upon the strain). Are these effects not significant enough to cause physical addiction, even though they're affecting the neurotransmitters of my brain?

Physical addiction is when the drug makes you experience physical withdrawal symptoms. This is the kind of stuff you see with opiates and the like. Becoming physically ill, sometimes violently (vomiting, fever, etc) , when you don't consume more of the drug.

Marijuana causes none of those things to happen, even if you yearn for it psychologically. Psychological addiction can cause depression, anxiety, and trouble focusing. Sometimes this manifests as a "day-after haze," which you seem to be experiencing. Even psychological addiction to marijuana is rare for most people (I've been smoking weed on and off for many, many years and have no problem quitting whenever I need to for months at a time).

Before you get too gung ho about acid:

LSD can suck so bad if your thoughts turn negative and you find them distressing. I stupidly took it in a time of serious depression and as LSD does, it amplifies whatever thoughts you're thinking as well as ushering in old memories--basically whatever constitutes your psyche. My trip was simultaneously sweet and awful (I became dead set on suicide and ultimately at peace with the idea), and after about 7 hours I just wanted to sleep and escape it all but it was still going strong. It did not help that the person I was doing it with passed out within the first half hour from alcohol and Xanax, so I was left to myself in the dead of night. It seemed to have cemented some very negative thoughts, as they were traumatizing to an extent and had a residual impact following the trip. LSD at least made me confront them, however unwanted, through the most profound sensory experience imaginable. Another problem I see is that thoughts that have no validity or credence will be encountered on your trip, but you will experience them as profound and with unparalleled significance. Hopefully, you can see how LSD can be a wonderful thing or teeter into a waking nightmare. It wasn't all bad for me, and I did enjoy the sensory experience feeling like I was being deconstructed into a complex biological organism (a sense of getting away from your ego or self-identity).

I found these two links, dunno how real is the information but it seems LSD is an amazing drug to use responsibly. I don't know how often I would do it though, most likely once every couple of months if this information accurate.

Oh no, I totally understand. I read about this. Your set and setting are very important from what I gather. If you're not in a really good place emotionally and in a setting that is comfortable and known to you, it seems the trip can go bad without much effort. When I try this I will make sure to be in a good place and state of mind.

So for some reason I have some weird pain, like a headache, around my eyes and on the sides of my head by the eyes (a little off to the side) even though I'm really high right now. I decided to take some tylenol since aparently somking wasn't getting rid of the pain. Does it matter that I mixed those? Or does the weed help it work better?
