I tried asking this in a diff forum an didn't really get any results. When I'm stoned and I eat, I feel as if I get less high, is that because the minerals & such in the food I'm eating are replacing the thc in my blood, thus reducing my high?

And vice versa for when I smoke on an empty stomach, is that because a lack of minerals and such thus getting me higher?
 
I get what you're saying for it killing the high. That happens to me - but only when I eat like a full meal or until I'm full (so this doesn't include small snacks). If I know I'm really hungry before I smoke, I'll purposely smoke after I eat to avoid losing some of my high. I know it isn't the same for everyone.

Also, smoking on a full vs empty stomach is the same for me.
 
Eating while high kills my buzz every time. If I smoke on a full-stomach it just doesn't feel right either. I've known people who get high just to enjoy eating but to me it seems like a waste. Eating a snack before getting high has less of an effect and is preferable for me.

If I burn out really bad I find eating helps me feel better.
 
It does. I would never feast after smoking. You might enjoy it more while high, but the high will be cut short. Also eating after smoking is a good way to make yourself extremely tired.
 
So anybody care to actually back up your facts?

Because until someone shows me a study proving that using your digestive system somehow reduces the effects of THC, i'm calling uneducated stoner bullshit.

My personal empirical evidence of blazing then eating pizza proves that eating a big meal diminishes the high.
 
Smoke. Eat alot. Then report back. Feeling like you need a nap yet? Eating after smoking kills your high without a doubt. I'm to lazy to find facts ATM but I always thought this was common knowledge. I don't know anyone that smokes who wouldn't agree
 
What a couple of stoned teenagers think is hardly solid proof. I Know someone who swears sniffing drugs up your left nostril sends it straight to your brain, he swears its true (and has tested it)


Going by your logic, he's right when we all know he is in fact a retard.

& FYI Eating has never killed my high, it just stopped me being hungry. :o
 
I'm less high after I eat because I eat for a good hour or so, maybe it's the same for you...the time passing as you eat
 
Found this on Marijuana.com (This is not a scientific study, merely a theory, take it with a grain of salt).

"Well that is a good Q, and if you think about the human digestive physiology involved, then a plausible explanation for that phenomenon may emerge: When you are getting high and enjoying the high it is caused by the D9THC circulating in your bloodstream. This THC is fairly well dosed in your bloodstream after toking some good hits of herb and therefore circulates via the bloodstream around your brain--specifically becoming attached to the "reward centers" in your brain. So, while you're high and not eating, that blood circulation is in a "steady state" and enables a prolonged sensation of high. When you eat a meal, you are stimulating the digestive system and causing bloodstream flow to be moreso shunted towards your digestive sys [stomach, intestines] to facilitate absorption of nutrients from food. This causes a shift in the "steady state" of blood circulation away from the pre-balance that was in the brain and towards the stomach. Net biophysical effect is less D9THC-enriched blood bathing the brain, net psychological effect is a dampening of the duration of the 'high' sensation."

It would therefore make sense that eating alot of food will slightly lower your high, but like NewbieRock said until I have scientific proof I can not make a conclusive decision.
 
I'm not a stoned teenager and I don't even smoke weed anymore. FYI everyone has a different body chemistry so there isn't a solid yes/no answer. IME nearly every smoker I know would say that eating kills your high. It won't kill it in the sense that your not high anymore, it will just lower the intensity or peak of the high.
 
Even if it did effect your high, it would depend what kind of food you ate. Mangoes increase the duration of your high (look it up!). I think the main reason people think that weed makes them less high is because eating takes time, and time reduces a high. Even if eating did decrease a high it would be so small a difference that it would be barely noticeable.
 
I dont care what anyone says, i have been smoking long enough to know. Eating a good portion while high will definitely dampen the high, not totally kill it but bring it down a lot. Now if you just seshed fat and then eat you will still be pretty damn high after you eat. But if you get stoned, wait a little and eat you will notice you are much less high after your meal. Just try munching out on snacks while high as it won't really affect it, and also don't smoke while your starving make sure you had some thing to eat before hand.
 
I was just speaking from personal experience.

However, to get technical, when I first started blazing, eating after the high didn't affect it at all. I was just as stoned after eating as I was before. But as time progressed I noticed that when I would blaze, then eat, my high would diminish (I used to be one of those people that would blaze purposely before a meal to enjoy it more). I don't know why this happened. It doesn't make sense to me either. I don't get how the digestive system would affect the THC, as was mentioned above. All I know is that in all my experience, this was the case. Whether or not it is scientifically provable is irrelevant to me. This is how my body is. Sure it'd be nice to know why my body does this, but I could really care less, I doubt there's anything I could do to change this.

I'd like to note that the only exception to this (for me) is when I get stoned to the MAXIMUM. Like that point where you know if you smoke another joint, you won't get any higher. If I'm stoned like that, and I eat a meal, I'll still feel the same. However if I smoke like a 0.1g bowl, then eat, my high diminishes.

EDIT: And yes lets distinguish between munchy snacking here and there, compared to eating a complete meal that FILLS your stomach (aka, no more munchies).

I'd like to point out that when I'm high I can devour an entire meal in under 10mins (and still be full). I don't think that 10mins plays a significant role in reducing my high to the extent that I would notice it actually reduced. If that makes sense.
