SMOKED CANNABIS
Cannabis dosage is fairly easy to manage. A good method for determining your dose is to smoke a small amount (1-2 "hits"), wait 5-15 minutes, repeat as desired. A single intake of smoke from a pipe, water pipe, or joint is generally called a hit. An average size hit from a pipe or water pipe weighs somewhere on the order of 1/20th of a gram. With reasonably high potency Cannabis buds, a small number of hits (1-3) is generally enough. The lower the potency the more hits people will need to achieve the desired effects.
Below is a chart with very approximate dosages for dry, smoked, high potency cannabis. These numbers will vary greatly depending on individual reaction, potency, and smoking method. Generally, brown leafy cannabis is not as strong as green, gold, purple sticky buds. There does exist "One Hit Shit" that can surprise even the veteran smoker with it's strength. Pay attention to your body's reaction when you first try a new type or a new smoking method, and be careful when introducing others to cannabis. Everyone reacts differently to different doses.
High Potency Smoked Cannabis Dosages
Light 1/30 g
Common 2/30 g
Strong 3/30 g
Duration: see Cannabis Effects
Onset : 20 - 90 seconds
Duration : 2 - 4 hours
Normal After Effects : 2 - 4 hours
I admit cannabis smoking gets bland. The same activity again and again. Cannabis is the best insomnia medication I have ever had. Smoking each evening is the same boring routine again and again.
Though occasionally something awesome happens and "WOW". I was smoking recently and had a different experience that stood out. A lung full of potent cannabis knocked me back with strong amnesia and euphoria. People talk about stories with ultra potent cannabis. Well, I'll say I respond strongly with most medications including cannabis. This occasion reminded of how potent modern marijuana could be.
We should remember when we smoke with novice smokers or new varieties, a lung full of potent herb could have overwhelming effects. The quote above from Erowid describes this effectively and neutrally, especially this part.

Have any of y'all encountered similar experiences with pot?
