I don't smoke cannabis anymore. Was really into it about seven years ago or so, but since then has done nothing for me at all. Doesn't relax me, doesn't make me feel good and can lead to paranoia and in once case a psychotic episode.

Not to start this off with a negative post; I know that many people enjoy this substance quite a lot, and I do believe that it should be legalized. It's just not my cup of tea.

I love herb, but sometimes I question whether it clouds my mind too well when painful things comes up in life.

Regardless, I still toke.

Been toking for 3 years now starting regularly smoking when i was 18.

Went through different stages of smoking joints, bongs, grav bongs and pipes they all have their place. At the moment I'm using my vape ( A magic flight launch box ) which i highly recommened whether you get a portable one or a desktop they save alot of weed and you feel better for being healthy about it Definitely a different high though and takes a little getting used too.

Also made my first edibles about 3 weeks ago and holy shit it was amazing it took a good hour and a half to kick but when it did it was like the high from a massive grav bong but it lasted for like 6 hours and i didn't even crash after, Will definitely explore that more in the future!

I find weed is the best when you hold yourself a only 2-3 times a week at the most i know no two people are the same but when i've worked out, gone for a run and then come home to a longggg vape im on cloud 9.

Used to love bongs, now I much prefer a joint. It makes the act of smoking an enjoyable activity in itself - plus you can add flavour!

Also I've found it generally more enjoyable in lower doses than I'm inclined to have if I bong it :D

Never tried edibles... on the to do list now

I also forgot to ask had anyone had experience in making blunts also?....I have looked into the vapes at a head shop, and the cheapest is not to expensive. I will explore that when i can.

I have found amongst me and most of my friends this to be the case. I don't know whether people just grow out of it or after a while you just become too used to the feeling and instead of producing euphoria you only notice the paranoia or that as you get older you tend to be less carefree and have more responsiblities and this is exacerbated by smoking weed? Who knows? Just some of my theories but I do still enjoy the occasional J at music festivals or when I'm feeling already relaxed and wanting to make my music sound that bit better ;-)

yes, i used to smoke blunts with some of my friends, particularly when we smoked in public. it's hard to tell how well they worked when you are the one toking up, but it seemed to mask the smell and obvious appearance of a joint quite well.
before they banned smoking in pubs, i had a bouncer come up to my mate and say "you enjoying that joint?" while he was rolling a (green-free) cigarette.
he replied that it wasn't a joint, and he hadn't even lit it yet.
meanwhile, i was sucking on a big fat "cigar", which i (tried to) subtly put into an ashtray in front of me. the bouncer didn't even look twice at me; he was completely fooled by it, looking around for the "joint".
maybe he was particularly stupid?
anyway, i don't touch the things these days, because (as i mentioned in the other thread about whether or not people 'spin' their weed) i hate tobacco, and blunts are some of the most disgusting chemical laden shit i've ever inhaled. there is something about the sickly sweet artificial flavourings that make my head hurt just thinking about it. eerrr.
and be careful too - i have a friend who got re-addicted to cigarettes from having the odd blunt. i'd never seen him with a cigarette or even spinning a joint previously, and he started buying packs again after having quit for about 10 years. not cool. but if you love your tobacco, why the hell not? it's a decent novelty i guess, just not my thing.

as for the question of getting tired of pot, or maybe growing out of it?

i still love smoking weed, but i seem to have unconsciously gone from smoking every day to having a toke a couple of times a week. didn't mean to, plan to or make any effort to slow down, it just happened. i think for me my interest comes and goes - but i like shaving some on hand to get a little high when i feel like it. unlike most other drugs, it doesn't affect me for very long (like not into the next day, and no comedown to speak of)
i still love it, and it is generally something i associate with listening to - and particularly playing - music.

i used to smoke before bedtime, but i find it gives me this amazing focus these days, and i end up getting really involved in watching or reading or doing something, and going to bed at 3am if i smoke late in the evening. it used to make me sleepy, but has something of a stimulant effect these days. i just wanna stick my favourite albums on or play guitar.

i've smoked for 14 years now - always loved marijuana, but given it a break a few times.
i find that if i totally lose my tolerance (ie stop smoking completely for a couple of months) and i get high again, i tend to get paranoid and anxious.
when i have a bit of a tolerance, i don't tend to get this at all. one time in particular i quit for 6 months or so, and i got stoned one day and totally got the fear from a cone or two.
the next time i did it was a little better, and i did it a few more times and it went away...but my theory is that you need to smoke occasionally for it to be fun.

i also find when i'm smoking a lot, the more i smoke, the less it does.
i can sit down and have a session of 5 cones and barely feel it - and i used to smoke a quarter ounce every week or two - whereas with less of a tolerance, i smoke a tiny bit and get really high. the beauty of it is that if you respect it, it treats you right. when you smoke all day long it loses its fun, for me anyway.

i'm enjoying having a break from being a massive pot head at the moment though, because i do feel like i get less done when i come home and light one up.
i prefer to get high in order to go and do something these days. recently went to see a touring act that i was really looking forward to; i had the option of about 8 different great drugs at my disposal at the time, but i decided to just smoke a joint before their set. really enables me to take the music in without being too distracted or disjointed from reality.
i love marijuana.

I've wondered this myself. I noticed that it only started to happen after I had used LSD; my first trips on LSD were fantastic, but then when offered pot again a while after that (not under the influence of psychedelics obviously), it just didn't work.

I've also tried the synthetics, no luck there either. Even if they don't give me paranoia or anxiety I still just don't like them. The only time I have found cannabis enjoyable in recent times was when I was already nodding the hell out on morphine and temazepam and maybe a little MXE (hazy night) and I can't even remember it doing anything... probably because I only had one toke though.

 

[Fieldy]

^ Funny you mention that after i had used LSD my reaction to herb is much stronger now and i might get CEV sometimes depending on the strain....either way i have also cut back smoking due to LSD as i am trying to just have the ole puff on weekends now so i can keep focused during the week for work.

 

[Divine Moments]

^ Using psychedelics makes weed more psychedelic for most people. I get mild to moderate open and closed eye visuals if I have enough now :D

 

[tallica81]

Do you guys smoke whilst your on acid?? Does it increase visuals or anything like that?

 

[spacejunk]

i wouldn't say weed increases visuals.
i find if i smoke too early on, during the peak, it can shape the trip's mood - sometimes into a bad, overly introspective way.

usually it is really nice to have a joint or two as the trip is levelling out though. four hours in or something.

all of this is dependant on the trip itself though - they're all different. there are no specific rules to follow, but i usually wait a while.
if you're not a regular smoker i wouldn't really advise you mix LSD and cannabis.

 

[Divine Moments]

That is very interesting. In the experience of myself and my tripping friends, weed increases the visuals several fold. Smoking on the comedown can bring the visuals back to as strong or sometimes stronger than the peak. One of my friends was speechless after he first got strong open-eye visuals from blazing at the peak, after having tripped a number of times before.

I have found that everyone gets different degrees of visuals from the same amount or equivalent of acid though. For example, I can take half my normal dose and have quite reasonable open- and closed-eye visuals yet minimal psychological effects. Others I know will only get OEVs if they take a larger than usual dose. Luck of the draw It's not like the visuals are the primary effect anyway, and I think the level of visuals is a very unreliable way of gauging strength of tabs.

I got over my vape pretty quickly. I much prefer a bong or a pipe.

 

[jewsea mo]

i like le bong.
do you guys just use green or spin?
i used to just use green but was a bit of a lounge lizard, but is good and lately been spinning cause of my friend. but ima try just green again i think.

 

[SpiritFolk]

I like bong and spliffs but usually smoke bong as when i roll spliff I like dutch style fatties which is quite expensive and is more of luxury to me when I have an ounce on hand or somthing.

Use spin to make it smok better in the billy, but very very minimal as when I used a lot (like 60% gunge and 40% baccy) ages ago I used to hang out very hard and get very cranky when I had no weed. Thought it was the bud but it was actually all the baccy cravings from the all addicting nicotine. NOw I don't smoke ciggies at all except maybe when puffing meth pipe or really high on MDMA etc and even then I only have 1 or 2 a night.

I just find spin makes my weed so much more addictive. just thow a little drum in the mix (maybe 87% weed and 13% drum rolly).

Also I find tailor cigs as spin and in general fuck my shit up as they put some much crap in them that make you hooked. Real tabacco shouldn't stay lit like a tailor made does even in pouring rain... terrible man

Vaporization is the way to go if u love getting baked. Wish I never even tried a Bong. They have so many benefits.
