This is the strangest situation I've ever come across.

My girlfriend is extremely, EXTREMELY sensitive to weed, and not in a good way. I'm talking 2-5 tokes of a spliff and she is completely out of it. She says she often feels 'bad', 'everything's crazy', 'I feel like I'm going to die' (occasionally), 'I have no idea what the fuck's going on' etc. etc. Curls up in the corner of a room not being able to speak or has to lie down for hours feeling like shit.
And it's just weird. She's a lightweight but she's done (lots of) alcohol, ket, MDMA, mephedrone, nos, speed and all that jazz and not had any side effects. It's just weed, it's always with the weed. It's so strange.

So I'm writing here today for several things. As you can see I'm new to these forums but I'm posting here today because I don't want to fuck anything up.

First of all, does anyone know of anyone else who is in this situation or knows someone who overcame this problem? I'd really like to be able to smoke weed with her but everytime we try it seems to go wrong. My next experiment will be to try and do it completely sober just me and her one toke at a time, as she often smokes weed when drunk (maybe it's interacting with her lightweightness and pushing her over the edge too quickly?) but I'm not hopeful. Anyone have any tips?

Second, I really want to do acid with her. I'm quite experienced with acid but she's never taken anything hallucinogenic apart from a small amount of 2C-I, I can't remember what she said she thought of that. So the main question is, is this wise? Acid and weed have similarities but really they're completely different. Do you reckon she'd be alright to take it with me? She obviously would only have a single dose, I really want to share this fantastic experience with her. Something she said to me last time she smoked weed made me think twice - 'this is quite a bad trip, and it's only weed...' but let's be serious here, I'm sure it will be fine, set and setting, right? She's definitely up for it and is more than happy to try new things at raves, eats random pills etc. so, yeah. Thoughts anyone?
 
I have a friend who reacts exactly the same way as your GF when he tries to smoke weed. He's a healthy guy and he smokes tobacco nonstop and drinks but when it comes to weed it fucks him up badly. He hasn't been able to overcome it. He stopped bothering with weed.

If you are gonna give your GF acid, since it's her first time, obviously you're gonna wanna give her the smallest amount possible. No this isn't wise however. I wouldn't do personally.
 
This probably belongs in Psychedelic Drugs, but anyway...

No way to tell for either of your questions. Being drunk when she is trying weed may be contributing, so doing it sober may help but otherwise you might just have to face the fact that she can't smoke marijuana. Too bad.

As for your second question... start low and see how it goes. That's the best you can do. Make sure you can handle having to take care of her if it all goes to shit.
 
^MrBlonde's got it down. Some people are just sensitive to certain drugs not even to metion the fact that some people just simply don't like certain drugs. Honestly IMO if shes smoked a decent amount of times and she doesn't like it by now she probably never will. Acid however is a different story. Just start low(1 hit) and work up. To expand on the taking care of her thought you(if possible)might want to have benzos on hand if it all goes to shit.

Yup. We've got a ton of threads on this very topic and its close ilk over there.

Here's one picked at random but the search button is your friend :)

Lsd anxiety vs. cannabis anxiety

The short version is that many who don't get along with cannabis find psyches more to their taste... and others don't. Only one way to find out for sure ;)
 
Thanks for the replies guys. I should have used the search function yes but I just wanted to make sure the replies were specific to my situation :)
Thanks for the help, from reading the thread linked last it appears as though cannabis is much more likely to cause anxiety than lsd, and it appears to be in line with what my girlfriend experiences - irrational paranoia and anxiety. I think I'll start her off on one dose at the most, possibly even half. I do hope this turns out ok!

Probably would be a good idea to have some Xanax or another benzo around just in case.
 
Nowdays I am the same way on weed, and towards the end when I quit smoking I got to be that way. I could use other drugs just not weed... it turned me into a paranoid mess. If she wants to try acid let her... there's no reason acid should affect her the same way as weed.. maybe just dont let her smoke weed while she's tripping to avoid that negative experience.
 
yeah, i cant stand weed anymore, it makes me paranoid as hell. still love all psychs though. but im someone who spent years smoking all day everyday. if she wants to try it then why stop her though?

though id recommend a low dose of if yuou can get your hands on some mescaline that would be ideal.

however, if your pressuring it on her then that is another story.
 
I reckon that her difficulty with weed probably wont be overcame, there are some people that marijuana just rubs some people the wrong way. In regards to the acid, freaking out on buds doesn't neccessarily mean someone wont be able to handle LSD, but I would certainly make sure that her first dose is a conservative one and it is done in an appropriate set and setting.
 
Mescaline is a better option than acid for a first trip.

Some people cant handle weed but can handle acid...but maybe not. Try smoking less weed with her. Maybe she just doesnt have your tolerance but tries to keep up anyway.
 
I don't enjoy smoking high grade weed, i get sweaty, anxious, high heart rate, paranoid... between 20 and 22 i stopped smoking completely after being a daily smoker from the age of 16 (strted at 13)... and the strange thing is, i started getting paranoid from weed after a bad acid trip, it was like if i smoked it would bring back the feelings of that bad acid trip... but anyway, now i'm fine smoking hash, or "natty" weed (low grade)... but not that hydro stuff everyone is smoking nowdays...

I have done lots of LSD since and not had any bad trips, but if i smoke on LSD... my mind goes crazy, total headfuck, but i've learnt to deal with it and not flip out...

so IMO, this is a sensitive one, but if she's 100% sure she wants to go through with it, why not try 1/2 a tab, and if things are going well 3 hours into the trip, maybe take the other half...

what would be good is to have some benzos and or neuroleptics at hand, enough to make her sleep if things go badly, coz acid lasts a long time...

there are lots of factors that come into play, and i don't really know to advise against it or not... maybe try shrooms first, they last a lot less long, and in moderate doses are quite easy to handle...

as for getting her to toke "1 hit at a time" i advise against it... she obviously is experiencing some kind of cannabis psychosis when she smokes and should not be pressured into smoking....
 
So she doesn't handle weed. I think its rather selfish that despite this you continue to try to get her to smoke just because thats what you like to do.
 
These days I'm the same way and ive been doing hard drugs and research chemicals for about 13 years now since I was 13. Marijuana is by far the "hardest" for me. I can eat a 10 strip of acid and give a speech (well, maybe not a good one), but if i hit the weed a few times im tired, slow, and generally apathetic. I had to quit it fully. I'll still smoke if someone passes me a blunt, but thats the extent of it.

I'd say she is not out of the norm, just a smaller statistic. She should be fine.`

Yeah just had to come clear this up. She wants to have the ability to smoke weed, it's her own free choice. Don't jump to conclusions, thanks.

This may potentially what you'll hear from her if she takes Acid...
Not a good idea in my eyes :\

Then again, some drugs aren't for some (as mentioned) so she may love Acid.
A very small dose and a perfect setting would be key to see if she'll enjoy it.
I'd also (as mentioned again) have Benzos around and maybe taking it with some MDMA would help her avoid a bad trip.

Still, it's all up to her, but serious - play with caution.. Lots of caution!
 
Well I'll tell you from experience that I cannot handle weed (at all) and acid tends to make me cry. But she might be different. Just make sure if she has a bad trip that you keep her company till it is over.
