I used to get very high from a very small amount of cannabis. I've been smoking kind of off and on for a few years. Recently I quit for a few months then started again a few weeks ago and ever since the high just isn't the same. Weed used to rock my world but now I smoke and get a mild high that only lasts forty five minutes max and its just completely gone after. It used to keep me up there for 3-4 hours. I've tried different strains, and tried taking small tolerance breaks but it just doesn't feel the same anymore. I haven't taken any medications. I used to get incredibly winded off just 2-3 fat rips from a glass piece. Now it just kind of makes me tired and nod off and forget I'm even high at times. I'm wondering why quitting has seemed to ruin my experiences with weed. I thought coming back after a while off it'd be better or at least the same as before. I'm kind of bummed because I miss those awesome highs. Even after smoking every single day for 3-4 months I'd still get my mind blown but it seems quitting has literally ruined weed for me.
Please help
Yeah, I had a similar process...spent my teen years smoking upward of an ounce every 3 or 4 days easy...did that for a long time too, from 17 or 18 through to my mid-20's. Gradually slowed down to where I'd smoke maybe a gram or two a day and somewhere around ten years back just strasight up stopped smoking altogether. No real REASON mind you, I just had other shit going on and didn't really feel up to smoking pot. I basically find now I'll take pot perhaps once every few months, a friend will have a joint and I'll take a toke or two and then pass on it. Reason being that, as hard-core as I once was, I really don't find being really high all that enjoyable anymore...I wind up feeling anxious, a little paranoid, and physically uncomfortable throughout the experience, so I generally cut myself after one or two hits which gives just a nice glow.
That being said, the few times I DO do it, that 3 or so times a year, I find I much prefer baking it....I'll make a cookie or two with a gram each and eat them up. The slow, slow come-on seems to make the unpleasant anxiety decrease significantly...I can kind of tell where I'm at within about half an hour and can gauge where I'm about to end up landing so can prep myself a bit more. *shrug* just goes with getting older honestly man, our tolerance, metabolism and so on all changes over our life and it makes sense our recreational substances (having to use those same neurotransmitters and systems) are going to be similarly affected.
Like I said, give eating a shot, you may need a touch more to get the effect you want but you will find you get a buzz that lasts a solid 4 or 5 hours for the trouble. Just don't try to overshoot, In my youth I ate a full 1/4 ounce all at once in a cake and spent the next two hours in an....extremely unpleasant headspace...nausea, headache, increased heart rate, anxiety and so on to the extreme...and that was when I was burning all the damn time too...
Holy crap mate. I decided to try again last night after abstaining for 7 days and I can say without exaggeration I was the highest I've ever been. Daammn
