I've been trying to get something out of weed for some time, now.
I have access to supposedly high quality stuff: Pure Power Plant, Northern lights. Also tried hash (sensi star pollen, grade AAAA).
I smoke all this in a water bong.

Well, all I ever got from all this is a "buzz", really nothing special.
I thought weed would provide relaxation, euphoria but it really doesn't hold a candle to opiates as far as relaxation is concerned. Is it supposed to be psychedelic? Not really when you're used to LSD, I guess.
It doesn't make me talkative that much, don't see much cognitive effects either (doesn't make "ideas flow more easily").

In a word: weed just doesn't impress me. I don't see the point. When I take another drug, I know exactly what I get: LSD (visuals, psychedelic effects), MDMA (strong euphoria, connection with others), opiates (deep relaxation).
But with weed? It seems like it provides many of the above effects, albeit in a very dull way. It's kinda relaxing but not that much, kinda stimulating but not that much, slightly psychedelic...
I'm always disappointed, it never rocks my world.

I'd like to understand why so many people seem worship weed... There is all that folklore around it, all those movies that make it seem supremely cool to smoke pot.

But really, it kinda sucks compared with other drugs. Or maybe it's me, maybe I don't smoke it right, or don't smoke enough (I try to smoke as much as possible though)... What do you think?
 
I think you're one of those people that just don't like pot.

Congratulations. :)
 
I believe I've heard quite a few accounts of how it is possible to completely disrupt your ability to enjoy cannabis by having used MDMA in excess. And to some it will just appear dull or downright stupefying after a good old psychedelic.
 
How often do you smoke?

I have mates who were the same when they started out, they found they just needed to smoke everyday and get their tolerance up to enjoy it.
 
You can't compare weed to opiates or psychedelics like LSD. The effects are completely different than weed and also aren't something you'd want to consume multiple times a week. Opiates have the potential to lead to a strong addiction while weed has a more relaxed and less scary addiction that could result. So in sum it has a better recreational value to it. LSD you couldn't consume regularly due to tolerance and just the general consensus of the experience quality lowering with weekly/regular use.

Weed is an enjoyable day to day drug or semi regular use drug. Though of course some people find the experience of weed to be quite powerful and like to keep it on occasion.
 
I think my expectation were just too high...

As I said in the OP, popular culture tends to circulate a lot of false ideas and myths about weed. After that you expect it to produce some wacky trippy state...

In fact, it's just a chill-out drug, not something that will blast you, especially if you're used to more "serious" drugs (acid, MDMA).
That's the number one reason why cannabis should be legalized: it really isn't a big deal...
 
yeah you can't compare weed to opiates and lsd and all that man...weed is good for a lotta people and some don't get the effects to the full extent sometimes,,dunno some people just don't like weed as much as others..There are some strains of weed out there that would make you semi hallucinate,,but not quite,,not like lsd and shit,,,it's weed not super majic grass ...lol..
 
Comparing drugs is like comparing apples and oranges. Yes, they're both fruit-- but they are so different. But people definitely have preferences.

Also, drugs are different for different people.
 
The first few times aren't always that noticeable for some reason, but you just don't seem to care for it's effects. Idk if you're smoking solo, but if you are that is probably why it isn't that fun. Weed can sometimes make you feel like a kid again, the social aspect is pretty enjoyable cause of all the crazy ideas you come up with.
 
OP thats exactly like i feel. Weed just doesn't do it for me anymore. Maybe its because i find myself drawn to more "serious" drugs. Maybe its because it just doesn't help new ideas flow for me. Either way I am just one of those people that doesn't like weed I guess. And I always smoke with friends, so its not just that I get bored easily by myself.

I agree with this based on what Dr. Gonzo wrote.

I love herb but I know that it's not for everyone.

I have friends that used to smoke a lot when they were younger but they prefer tripping on shrooms and that's all they do now every so often since they're not into drinking.

I know others who prefer booze and other drugs to herb.
 
Cannabis' effect varies so greatly with nuerological function its difficult to know what to expect from person to person. This inconsistancy is present in most if not all phycoactive substances.

The human body's cannabanioid receptors and mastery of them is integral to the human healing process, Cannabinoid Receptors being one of the most dense receptors in the body. We Know that CBD, And THC From natural plant matter has a myriad of physiological and Phycological effects, ranging from a simple analgesia to an effective cancer treatment (not just for pain and waisting syndrome).

Its flowers are Plesant in Smell taste and enjoyable to smoke and is a very very good "social lube"

Cannabis is Safe and Easy to Cultivate and administer, Its intoxicant properties tend to overwhelm its importance in modern medicine within the western world.

It could very well be a major factor in achiving less emissions and enviromental damage through "greener" Manufacturing processes using hemp instead of tree fibre and synthetic materials.

Through the above we could eliminate deforestation and damage caused by raping the forests and reduce the amount of injuries within primary industries (lumberjackin is dangerous)

We could put africa, afghanistan, india, tibet and other impoverished countries with natural reserves of "Danky Ass Chronic" and financial problems.

Cannabis Is a finanical Nighmare for established Politicians With Pirmary Industry concerns, Wich is the corrupt plauge of our western world.

Weed isnt the be all end all but it is ENORMOUSLY significant in the progression of humanity.

Nuff said
 
^^ Thats whats up.

Bud is like mother nature's way of saying "Hi." It isn't supposed to be so strong you can't do anything. Its a mind stimulating herb, not a mind dumbing herb. Try a sativa. Or like someone said hash. Its a psychoactive that is completely safe on a daily basis and it beats the hell out of tabbaco in terms of health and it lasts way longer, and unlike alcohol doesnt cause liver cirrosis!:D -in huge quantities
 
Well, if you find opioids more relaxing than cannabis (I find the opposite to be true, myself) maybe you should try using cannabis for its sense enhancing properties. Being stoned enhances your experience of the pleasures of taste, touch, and musical appreciation. Try getting high before a big meal, and then trancing out to some intricate rhythmic music afterwards...
 
I do find opioids more relaxing than cannabis, but i pefer cannabis as a daily medication even though i could benifit from the analgesic effects of an opioid. Im listening to some pac and smoking some nice balanced blueberry nugs. Great sensory exp for sure.
