Getting high

I am interested in your pro grinder arguments. Are you rolling? I do not. I've always got a grinder mostly for backup
Ground weed can be used to roll joints/blunts/spliffs, it's the best way to vaporize, and if you are burning it in a piece, you get a much more uniform burn and bigger hits. If you're making edibles, you'll want to grind your bud before processing it further. Highly recommended. I use ground bud for everything.

Day 001 of my tolerance break...

Sooo how does one quit weed...
everytime I try I end up reminding myself that there ain't nothing wrong with smoking up, so I go back to smoking within a week.
but I think its time I sober up for a bit.

Do you want to smoke less to get the same high?

Look at it like saving money. Not only will you not be smoking for the entirety of your break, but you're going to need a lot less to get the same high as before.

T-breaks have always been pretty easy for me, as I have yet to develop any kind of dependance on the drug (despite smoking for many years now). It does affect everyone differently, however, so it might be harder for some to stop than others.

I got really high last saturday for the first time. I've smoked in total around 10 joints. But always with my girl, I never really got high... Just a little relaxed. This time I smoked 2 joints alone, and the moment I went to bed it hit me. It was surreal. Everything was happening in slow motion. I listened to music and it made all my body tickle, it was an amazing feeling.. SoGood.gif. I felt my body was melting inside the bed haha. The day after I woke up feeling super well rested. Weed ftw =)

Yeah this is basically what I wanted to express in the post I made in response to the same question a while back, but said better and with more words.

Thats one of the things I like about weed in that unlike with cigs/alcohol (for example) you don't develop any physical dependencies on it. I'm not saying you can't (even though my own experience and everything I've read states otherwise), everyone is different, but myself and friends that I've smoked with have never had any issues. Sure there's a phsycological desire to smoke, assuming you enjoy it and how it makes you feel, but if you just ignore that you'll be fine.

@Revoh: music can be pretty amazing when you're high.

If you can quit for one week, two or three weeks shouldn't be a problem. It's really all in your head, if you can't sleep without it, take a pill.

It is easily possible to smoke every day without addiction if you don't have psychological problems that need coping.

Sucks when your only contact quits the game. Fuck man, really at a loss here.

What do you guys do in this situation? STL here.

Don't stress, perfect time for a t break if your tolerance is too high. There will be more dealers.

Any recommendations for a budget-friendly vaporizer for someone who only partakes once every couple of months? I hate smoking but enjoy the result.

Join the local NORML chapter and go to the meetings they hold. You will find like minded people who would be willing to help you. Glass shops(headshops) are good, too.

From smoking 1 or 2 joints per week I'm at 2 joints per day now. Should I be worried? I feel the urge to smoke the moment I get home from work and then just relax listening to music until I fall asleep.

I wouldn't be worried but I'd think of trying to ground yourself better in other hobbies and interests.

Getting high is amazing but basically making it an entire aspect of your daily lifestyle is a bit shaky. Just in my opinion though. You don't want to live to get high. Too much of a good thing, yada yada. Balance is best.

For me, it's something to look forward to more than an "urge."
 
Personally I try to only smoke enough to unwind a little bit, just enough to feel it. If I get completely blown I can't do anything other than sit around and that gets super depressing

just chill, try doing things you love when high, but not just GAF and video games, music, tv shows etc. You can do anything while high, going on a hike with some great scenery is amazing blazed, it really makes you appreciate Mother nature. Don't imagine things high while sober too much. Try to stick to approximately the same dosage for your joints and only adjust if you're smoking with more people. Also don't smoke as soon as you come down every time. All this will help keeping your tolerance from getting too high (especially the smoking as soon as you come down part) and greatly decrease the chances of developing a psychological dependence. If you don't have any weed, don't stress, just relax, you don't need it to have fun. Bongs are more efficient, but in my experience it's been easier managing tolerance with joints.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'll smoke tonight with my girl in a different setting, I'm excited. We will be in the rooftop of a building where at night you get an amazing view. Gonna watch the stars high. Might be fun ;)

Sounds good, get some tunes going up there as well.

Get a half today, hooray. Even though I really shouldn't be smoking.
 
It's a particularly nice bank holiday weekend. In that I have a delicious selection in front of me. Jack Herrer, Skunk #11, Juicy Fruit, Bilbo Critical and some lovely Indian Charras to top it all off. I'd post a picture but I'm not sure if that's frowned upon here.

Things you need:

2 boxes of full fat brownies. I found one that required ⅔ a cup of oil, where most call for ½. The more the better here, obviously. You can obviously cut all this in half but I figured if I'm gonna go through the effort I may as well really make it worth it.
Half an ounce of something good
An oven
Coconut Oil
Depending on if you care about your house absolutely reeking for a long period of time or not, some closed, oven safe containers with lids (I used pint mason jars, 2)
Helpful but not vital, a grinder
Cheese cloth (preferred, but any way to thoroughly strain the bud from the oil)

Starting with decarbing, I preheated my oven to 225º, with the mason jars in there (to warm them up slowly and help prevent heat shock breakage) Ground up the bud, split it into the 2 mason jars lidded them, put it in the oven for 45-60 minutes. Have an oven thermometer. An unwieldy temperature could do bad things.

For the last 15 minutes I put 1 and ⅓ cup of coconut oil in the oven to melt, since it's solid at room temperature.

Once I pulled them bud out I split the oil between the 2 mason jars. Put the mason jars in the loaf pan and filled it with room temperature water until almost at the top and put that in the oven at 240º. Leave it in the oven for 8-18 hours. Yes, that long. I did mine for about 13 or so. Make sure there's water decently high in the pan throughout and if you are using jars and can, carefully burp the mason jars a few times to release pressure. They should be fine at these temperatures but you never know and I prefer to play it safe.

Once that's done I layered cheese cloth 4 times, put it over the mason jars and put a rubber band around the mouth of the jar and let gravity do most of the work. Once it stopped dripped I removed it and squeezed every drop of oil I could out of the bud.

You should have 1 and ⅓ cup of THC laden, fresh virgin olive oil green coconut oil now. Make the brownies as directed. I let mine cool, cut them roughly 2x4 or so (with half of that being more than enough to fly), individually foil wrapped them, split them into ziploc bags, put a bunch in my fridge, a bunch more in my freezer to be taken out, thawed and/or tossed in an oven to warm up a bit.

My friend, a huge stoner, had a little more than 1.5 of them and was high as a kite for more than 24 hours. My first time I had about that much and I got crippled, couch locked, passed out and was still wrecked 16 hours later. Now that we've all understood dosing, half a brownie works and still gets you in a good place for 10 hours or so.

I feel bad since I personally am not enjoying them and I feel like my talent at making things will go to waste since I probably won't any time soon, but alas all they do for me is make me tired and sleepy. My smoker friends, however, are in love.

Cheers for the recipe, but thats way too long for some weed brownies. Not saying yours don't come out well, but I've made weed brownies with total cooking time about 3-4 hours that came out banging.

Anyone interested in an authentic Magic flight launch box? I got my dad one and my self one a while ago and just not feeling it. If anyone is interested they have both been used very little and will be cleaned thoroughly before shipping. Both come with the tin, brushes, batteries and black chargers.

Two of them clean and like new - $50 shipped each

Lots of feedback here

PM if interested.

Master Kush. Really good stuff but gets me slightly dizzy for a second when I inhale. I think its the smoke because when I vape, I don't get dizzy at all.

Hell of a price. Bought mine from a fellow gaffer actually. MF is a cool company. Its lifetime warranty so if it breaks they will send you a new one.

I'm considering getting a vaporizer. Any thought on the Pax Vaporizer?

A friend of mine's boyfriend has one and they both seem to love/enjoy it. I didn't really care for it myself but I have yet to find a pocket vape that I was into personally.

That's good enough for me. I'll let you know what I think of it when it arrives.

I am definitely looking into to it, notably Puffit, I guess they call it.

I will still smoke for the hit, but vaping will take a load of stress off my smoke room and of course internals heehee.. plus the high is so clean, and the taste is pure.

I got sour diesel, mad dog, and chem dog mixed up.

Mixed some hydro and bush and went for a walk with my dog, looking at the sun through tree branches natures disco ball. Sun of the water is some straight up equalizer shit.

How much abv do you put in your firecrackers? I put .3g with no results. Not sure if I should double to .6g or just go with a full 1g now.
 
anybody else get self conscious, super quite and kinda anxious while high? I used to get much more outgoing and relaxed but the shit has been wigging me out for a while now. I think I'm going to not smoke anymore.

Anybody know why or what I can do so pot affects me like it used to?

this OP on this marijuana message board explains exactly how I feel currently. I've felt a bit withdrawn and almost "permastoned" while socializing with people, even while sober.

I've just smoked a ton for a long period of time. I think it's time that I no longer smoke marijuana.

Just tried to roll a joint for the first time. That was horrible and unsatisfying. Any suggestions for someone starting out? I don't even know how to get weed, outside of copping off of people at parties who offer.

Honestly? Don't. This is my honest opinion. If you don't have a reliable source, what little green you do have will be wasted in a J. Half of it will spill out, the other half in the J will burn like shit, and you won't be able to draw good hits.

Go to a headshop and pick up a cheap pipe. Or treat yourself to a water pipe, which will ALWAYS hit like a champ with little effort required. You can get something reasonable for 20 bucks. Or, something that looks great and will last you for a while for ~$70, but that's a bit of coin. Just stay far away from anything acrylic, you want glass.

If you had a steady source I'd say just buy a 1/8 and sit down for a day, buy a pack of king size papers and just roll. I find it much easier to use larger papers. Look up you tube tutorials, read some lessons, and just try to roll 10 of them. Do it over a paper plate to collect anything that falls out. If they suck just empty the joint out and throw away the paper and start new. The most important part is the 'tuck', where you fold the paper in around itself, and making your J in the shape of a cone. But with the situation you're in? You gotta be as efficient as possible, so glass is the easiest route.

A bong or a bowl? I'll look into it. How do I find someone?

Dropped MDMA with my girlfriend. Her first time.

She was very grateful for sharing the experience with her :)

Nice, First time I did was with my really close cousin. Just me and him inside... yeah sounds borring but was great. 2nd time was with 2 really good mates inside again. Both were deep meaningful experiences.
And now I just take on certain nights I go clubbing or a festival or something. Great fun but 2 totally different experiences.
