Alcohol and Weed - rekindled the magic?

[It's a baby!]

I quit weed for like 5 months and expected my tolerance would be very low but the crap thing is . . . it wasn't at all. I could still smoke with any stoner in town and I never really got "high" for longer than 20 mins.

But then today I was at my friend's house and had three beers along with five bowls of good middies (between the two of us) and . . . dang, I was actually really stoned for the first time in maybe years. I had the surreal trippy feeling on my walk home, the music, gosh I love the imagined music, the sort of on-edge slightly-psycho feeling you get when really baked, pretty much the whole shebang only I was used to it and knew how to handle myself/avoid a freak-out.

I used to hate combining alcohol and weed because it would basically make me feel REALLY drunk and stoned and I'd just be in that sort of half-awake twilight state where all I could do was try to wake up with cigs and wait for it to go away. But now that my tolerance for weed is so high it seems like alcohol might actually really help the buzz without messing me up too bad.

I might add that I couldn't actually feel the alcohol at all, it just felt like I was nice and baked. Also dose-wise three beers is enough to get me a bit of a pleasant buzz and five bowls of this between two people I would consider a moderate-to-heavy dose of weed.

Your experience with this?

 

[Lord]

Did you get the flashing people and animated crazy-haired trees? Feels great and bad at the same time. I never drank while high, but I once got pretty drunk and took the subway, then walked around town a day after smoking lots of weed, and it gave me slight CEVs and really fucked with the size and shape of peoples' heads. The buzz really kicked in as I looked out at the beautiful nighttime lake. I couldn't figure out how to take the subway back. Being drunk in public is just fine, but I'm always way too paranoid and end up staying inside when I'm high. That night, I dreamt of nothing but glasses filled with cold water, and woke up with an extremely dry mouth and throat. My memory wasn't good for a week after that.

I used to like that tripped out schizophrenic feeling from good bud, but I've smoked it so much that I always feel like I might just fall into an actual schizophrenic trip these days. Tolerance for marijuana usually goes away after a few weeks, but I suspect that your permanent tolerance may have something to do with minor long-term brain damage if you smoked heavily in the past. Just a guess.

Haha I hope I'm not brain dmaged! I mean damaged - damaged! I can spell honest!

Nah I didn't trip out that hard, I doubt that will ever happen again, though I totally know what you're talking about. Still the feeling was there. It did seem a bit less intense but maybe that's because it lacked novelty. I could control it way better than when I was a noob and would oversmoke and get too high.

Your story sounds like the day I ate firecrackers, skipped school, and smoked pot all day. I was with my friend and we hiked most of the day . . . jeeze that was sweet. I had OEVs, vines on walls looked sort of like they were crawling and some other stuff happened too. I was also so paranoid that I thought EVERYBODY I saw was a teacher from school and I kept dodging behind houses whenever I saw someone haha (to be fair a teacher had seen me skipping not too long ago).

I don't think weed causes long-term brain damage, or if it does it hasn't been measured yet. It does cause brain changes though, they're just all reversible afaik (reduced blood flow to one part of the brain in heavy users, shrinking of some areas of the brain too). I'd say permanent tolerance is just something that happens sometimes; I see it with alcohol, people who have drunken a lot in the past can use moderately or not at all for a period of time but they'll never get drunk like when they were 14 again.

Maybe ur friend had good bud ....?

I was going to post you could be smoking crap and that 5 bowls isn't much weed at all, but I thought it sounded jackass-y. But, it's a possibility, so I thought I'd at least ask. Try a bong or g bong?

Lol it's my bud but it's not *that* good. I've been smoking better weed than this and never got that high since I was a noob. It's like . . . kinda light green, small buds, decent smell, crystally, seeds, lightly compressed. Pretty run-of-the-mill here.

Also I'm smoking it right now and it doesn't get me like that. I do get that feeling during the rush/comeup but that only lasts about five minutes.

I do smoke a lot of weed that you'd probably call crap, honestly, no shame in it for me it's the best deal money-wise here and often has a "happier" high than the dank we get which is all really overpriced and way too indica. I actually ask my dealers to get mid-grade when they have good stuff haha. We also get a lot of AWFUL sensimilla, like I don't know who this jackass grower is but this bud is seedless but freakin' horrible, not much stronger than decent brick, and they sell it for full dank prices.

I don't think it's a problem of smoking crap though. I've basically been smoking the same sorta weed coming from the same people for my entire pot-smoking career and I used to get *plenty* high when I first started, or really for the first year or two.

I probably would get really high with dank, if for no other reason than that I can get enough THC into me to override my "natural defenses".

^ I hear ya man, I do. I've been smoking for years and I started on mids, then to dank, then to only mids again, then back to headies for the past few months. This month I've been smoking about 7 KB (really fire KB) blunts a day... A bong of ill headies can still get me high as a fucking kite, and I mean embarassingly high.

To be honest, I've always found weed + alcohol to be a bit of a let down... the booze always overwhelms the high, but then again, when I drink, it's usually in the 10-15 beer range.

if you smoked some of my stash you would be high for days. 1 normal hit out of a small bong. you would never go back to shit weed and pipes lol.

Whatever man. I can't afford it and prefer brick. Plus I've seen people from out of town and they say we have some damn good brick weed here - it seems very fresh, smells good, and is often visibly covered with trichomes (though they're often a bit crushed).

Yeah I think the trick might be to drink only enough to get a buzz.

You make me jealous with your talk about headies Like I said I live in an area and am in a "scene" where headies are rare and good middies are cheap.

Yeah that defiantly sucks... Meet some college kids, they'd be more than glad to sell you a bag at 20 $ a g, lol. The price might not be right, but you might like the switch up if you can get your hands on it. I say try to get the best you can, even a little, and give that a whirl. I know the mids and brick game, I did that for two years, and I gotta say KB has to be the best middle ground of price to quality and i totally understand budget and missing hookups. I still buy brick for edibles and consider myself lucky to have the sources I do. I know what your saying about the highs being different, all my homies used to be brick-only kids but we've all made the switch to KB or headies. Really, you smoke less when you got that fire shit, so the price tends to even out.

That said, I defiantly have a ceiling when it comes to smoking typical brick (not schwag, but not special). I find it mixes best when I've got a bag of mids and a blunt of headies, the two together is magic.

Let me know if you are in the New England area, we'll see if we can't fix your problem This is the KB I've been getting, and some of the headies below.

^ Looks pretty dank bro!

If I smoke first and then have 2-3 beers or a glass of wine I feel amazing!

If I smoke after I drink I get too wasted and tired ... kinda gives me spins tbh.

Try drinking right after you smoke for best affects. This comes after years of my own research and the findings of others.

Haha not in NE I'm afraid.

I know about that stuff and have bought it before, real headies. But honestly, like I"m not trying to brag with prices, but I get good brick (not just decent) for so cheap that I don't like to buy anything else

but you said your weed doesn't get you high unless you drink a little too. so that's why we all say get some dank. no point in buying cheap good mids if you arent getting high.

I quit weed for like 5 months and expected my tolerance would be very low but the crap thing is . . . it wasn't at all. I could still smoke with any stoner in town and I never really got "high" for longer than 20 mins.

Haha yeah man trust me your not the only one who doesn't need to brag about prices. That KB makes some nice $$

I have smoked dank with my tolerance like this though and it's often the same deal, only it takes less weed. I still don't get real messed like I used to.

Plus I can't find any lol.
