Background: heavy chronic weed smoker, very high tolerance. I'm writing this because I think weed is one of the most difficult drugs to describe and it's fun to try to write about its effects.
I made firecrackers without crackers (didn't have any), 1.3 g of good weed, very low amount of peanut butter and plenty of canola oil, taken on an empty stomach. I think using a small food:weed ratio helps the potency of edibles a lot, taking on an empty stomach helps even more. Decarbox'd the weed at 250F for 10 minutes, cooked at 300F for 22 minutes. Came out looking quite "dank", evil dark brown/green color and it was less than a bite's worth. I actually find foregoing the crackers makes them somewhat stronger, I think the crackers absorb a lot of oil when cooking leaving less for the cannabinoids.
00:25 - the beginning of a distinctive, mild contentment and heaviness which is the sign I'm getting high. I've always found the weed contentment feeling to be extremely similar, maybe even identical to the contentment opiates give, the associated symptoms are different but that basic chill feeling is the same to me.
00:30 - I can feel my heart beating a little faster and the chill, heavy feeling increases. It is still very mild though and I could easily ignore it. It's a natural feeling, something I've felt without weed, just the feeling of contentment relaxation and a hint of lassitude.
00:40 - the body high has truly made its presence known now. My entire body feels like it's faintly humming. I also feel heavier, as if gravity is literally stronger, and my body feels more substantial, I'm aware of every spot of skin and can feel all of them, not to make it sound too dramatic. The mental effects are still just a mild contentment and lassitude, nothing more.
00:55 - the mental effects are starting to kick in. Everything is just a little bit funny, it's like an innate humorous film is put over my mind. I have the sensation that there is some joke going on that makes me break out in a grin, but I couldn't tell you what is funny. When I actually do see something funny I break out laughing, even silly pictures online that wouldn't normally make me laugh. The whole sensation is very much like when you're a little kid and you get in some giggle-fit and can't stop laughing for an hour even after the joke is long gone, you just feel a bit giddy. I also have hints of stir-craziness, an urge to get up and go on a walk, which I also get when coming up on psychedelics. This is just an anxiety thing, though I don't actually feel anxious it's like a subconscious anxiety reaction where my mind realizes it's getting drawn away from reality a bit and enters flight mode as if walking away will reduce the effects. Everything feels a little unreal and hazy, like it gets when you're sleep deprived, but without all the nasty crap that goes with sleep deprivation, and with the added humorous/giddy feeling. Also the very fact that I'm writing long paragraphs like this is something being stoned does. My thoughts are generally moving slow, like oozing warm molasses and it's nice to follow the stream.
Meanwhile the body high becomes more complex as my temples tingle and start to feel like they're swirling, as will other parts of my head at intervals.
1:00 - Climbing steadily. This is the point where marijuana becomes devilishly difficult to pin down. To the feeling of unreality is added a sense of great significance. Music feels very moving, like music in a cinema does when you're really into the movie. Everything just feels a bit important. The imagination starts to run away with itself. To be more specific I'm having lovely daydreams. In my head I'm sitting on a lawnchair on a beach in a psychedelic landscape, the water a fractal sea of blue, the sand painted on, as the music plays and the sun sets (it's noon in reality). It's not a hallucination it's just a daydream, the imagination is more vivid so you can get lost in your head staring into space. The daydreams are self-directed though, and not constant. As you get higher they become uncontrollable, constant, and of a distinct and bizarre character; I guess we'll see if I get that high this time.
1:15 - Visual effects are starting to occur, nothing dramatic, but visual noise is much more prominent so there's like a haze over everything, and if I stare at the haze it forms fuzzy forms patterns and colors. This same effect can happen to an even more dramatic degree by getting blind drunk, when entire chunks of your field of vision are taken over by phosphenes. I am more sensitive to hue, even in my dingy bare inadequately-lighted apartment. The body high is strong and relaxing, just a heavy relaxed feeling like you feel right before you fall asleep. Paradoxically I also feel a bit anxious due to some chest pain (or maybe vice versa), but rationally I'm 100% certain this is just because I'm very aware of my body and getting over a cold so my lungs are a big congested. That's a thing with edibles, feeling very heavy and distant, but sometimes anxious simultaneously. I'm an old hand with weed anxiety though and in the course of writing this it passed.
1:30 - On a whim I put on an album by a band I've never heard of, Stara Rzeka's "Cień chmury nad ukrytym polem"; it was well-reviewed by a reviewer I really like. It turns out perfect for being really stoned, acoustic music with trippy electronic stuff, very droney and expansive. I decide to start smoking weed, since my goal today was to get as high as I could without the experience becoming unpleasant and I'm far from unpleasantness right now.
1:45 - Having smoked a bowl I just feel a little dazed, honestly the mental effects are not very strong right now, mostly body high and general haziness. The body high does manifest mentally but more in a spaciness and absence of thought than anything "trippy". It is a really nice, relaxed mindset and pleasant but not interesting to write about or difficult to imagine in a sober state. I'll try smoking more.
2:15 - I'm going to stop updating; I've smoked .3g now but it's just more of the same hazy dazy feeling. While I had nice strong effects on the comeup they petered out mentally. Still it's nice, reduced respiration, just very relaxed, calm. This will probably last 4-6 hours at around this level, then still linger in the background until I go to sleep. Not a bad time but next time I'll do more, there's a threshold one must push with edible cannabis.
