To those who cannot handle weed

I had a bad reaction to pot at first and it was gradually over a long time that I really learned to get over it. I am curious as to whether or not this makes a difference in how one not being able to "handle" the pot would react with something like mushrooms or acid. I have always been far too afraid to because I had such a bad first few times with the pot. It seems like it would correlate, but I am interested in opinions.

I would suggest giving it another go.

When I was starting out. 2 hits would get my too high, and I never could take just one, it sucked.. Just like I said man, 2-3 months of daily smoking and you'lle be good. Give it a try. Now I can smoke 3.5 a day with ease.
 
I wouldnt advise anyone to force themself to smoke to build up a tolerance, why dont you just smoke less instead of your mates making you have a full bowl so it is not as overpowering? Take like the tinniest tinniest little bit of bud and put it in a pipe or bong or break it up into a fag. Build up from there.

No point trying to build up a tolerance because then, a few years down the line. Your sitting there not getting stoned and not being able to afford enough weed to get you stoned on a daily basis. If I have any advice, keep grass to an occasional thing, not daily. Why would you want to be able to smoke more? It just cost more money for the same effect lol.
 
Been a toker some 37 yrs now. being an older dude who enjoys, I think lots of whats out there today is
treated with other substances.
I've smoked it! I know when it's not right!
Hashish is the way to go. If obtainable, try it. The smpkers now have no clue what is being put on the smokeables.
From experience I am able to tell it's not right. Bad weed is treated to make it sell. Advice? grow your own!!
then you know for sure you have a good result. plus the cost today! insane. We get crap in my area. I hope you do better.
 
I am one of the people that just has to have the tiniest pinch to feel the right high.
I have no qualms about it, but my friends used to try and make me have more "2 hit minimum" lol
This happened after a bad experience one time. Ever since that I don't have to smoke much at all.
I'm talking the tiniest amount, not even equal to one hit off a joint.

I've found it's helped me with anxiety in everyday life. I've learned to handle it on weed, by basically not focusing on it and
just directing my attention to the outside world. So it's helped me apply the same awareness to everyday life as well.
 
Started smoking around age 15, but I'd only do it maybe every month. Only when friends asked me if I was up for it, and it's something to do lol. First times I would get very paranoid and barely be able to notice the positive effects. I've had a few panic attacks before while sober under very stressful situations, but marijuana never actually induced debilitating anxiety, more like uneasiness and kind of shy to speak. As of right now I can smoke, I get a little uneasy if I go into public, but if I am hanging out at someones house I am fine, it really isn't that great of an experience though. When I started smoking everyday for about 2 weeks, it was actually fun. I could smoke then go do whatever without feeling paranoid. Just a sense of relaxation, not yet euphoric or very positive.

However, when I drink alcohol I seem to feel very euphoric. Being intoxicated, then smoking is probably the best experience i've had with drugs.

Maybe someone can answer a question of mine though. I am not sure if me not being able to enjoy marijuana is because I can't handle a shift of consciousness or canabanoids effect me stronger than others. Does someone's inability to handle marijuana affect their ability of experimenting with dissociatives, hallucinogens or psychedelics? Or can someone feel uneasy with marijuana, yet have a great time with shrooms, ketamine, acid etc.?
 
I've been smoking for 13 years, I'm a daily smoker too. The average amount I smoke a day is about a gram. I can tell you, I definitely enjoy my daily herb although I do remember when I started out young we pretty much just wasted it getting as high as a kite, smoking joints the size of a damn rolling pin everyday lol. Nowadays its more about just enjoying my high. I will definitely second finding out how high you need to be to be comfortable.

Smoke em if you got em!

It's possible, I have one friend who can't tolerate cannabis but likes to take all of the above (except weed). He does have bad trips occasionally though. Apples and oranges really, how cannabis affects the brain is quite different from mushrooms or ketamine for example. If you decide to take psychedelics, remember to take them in a safe environment though and try not to combine them with cannabis at first. On the internet, plenty of people claim to love lsd, mushrooms and other psychedelics while weed being simply intolerable for them.
 
Ive been smoking daily for about 5 years now and the first time i got my wife high ( her first time smoking) she got reallllll twisted. like "what do you call those thingsssss you look inside and see like real colorful patterns" im like "ummm a kaleidoscope?!?!?!" hahah on her second time i loaded some kief onto the bowl and she took one hit, then two hits, then on her third rip as she exhaled she started to laugh her ass of until she was crying.....god i wish i could get that ripped.
 
I have always considered marijuana and LSD to produce completely different types of intoxicating effects, but i've heard people say "Good luck handling acid, if you can't handle marijuana. I am not very knowledgeable on brain chemical release during drugs, but from what i've read is cannabis has a much different mechanism than that of other psychedelics. Thank you for your input, but I do have a follow up question with what you said. You said you shouldn't mix cannabis with other types of powerful drugs until you are able to handle both. If someone is having a bad trip and absolutely cannot pull them self out of it through just talking, would the best idea to take some benzos, sleeping pills, or perhaps even have a few beers? To calm their nerves and put them into a more relaxed state of mind, Or could that make it worse?

I can definitely relate, one of the first time smoking actually high grade marijuana I was too high to make comprehensible thoughts. Just decided to lay down and listen to music, intense closed eye visuals. The music was extremely powerful too, enough to make me cry. I would NEVER want that to happen when I have to be around someone who is sober, or would judge me about it though. Would make me feel way to self-conscious, when I am by myself, it's a great thing.

Yeah I went through something similiar but slightly more condensed. I only smoked maybe once a week for the first 3-4 months of my "career". Then I started doing psychs and the floodgates opened up.

No, don't use that crutch.
Tell yourself that you're on a drug and it will end.
If you have to take benzos with LSD, then LSD isn't for you.

I don't think I'll end up having to take a benzo, especially since I would start at a low dose, instead of doing the typical 100-250ug. I have honestly never seen opened eye hallucinations, loss of reality/self, etc. The strongest effect i've felt is probably 2nd-3rd plateau or DXM, which was slight open eye visuals (no full blown hallucinations), and intense closed eye visuals. The main reason I feel the desire to take any powerful psychedelic is to understand myself better, realize how the world truly is for me. I would say I am an anxious and pessimistic person normally, but I want to change that. I have had maybe 2-3 panic attacks in the past 2 years, and i've struggled with depression because of negative views on life. Does anyone have experience with LSD and an anxious or mildly depressed lifestyle?
