Getting "too" high from weed.

Ok so I have somewhat recently gotten back into smoking and of course I have no tolerance but it seems like the weed is having an effect on me that it never has. The first time I smoked after my break was at a party and I had like 2-3 decent hits off of a pipe. I didn't even cough or feel that lung expansion feeling. I spent the next few hours rolling on the ground shrieking with laughter. No one else who smoked had anywhere near the reaction I did.

So I decided to get my own stash so I could build up a tolerance so that I could use cannabis in social situations. I had a very small bowl to myself one night before bed and I laid down while listening to some post-rock. I instantaneously got vivid close eyed visuals. Which also reminds me of the first time I smoked out of a bong which was last year. I had two bong rips and I experienced synesthesia.

Back in high school I smoked once a week or so and I never had these kinds of experiences, I would ride public transportation, go to the gym, talk to people from school, even eat dinner with my family while baked and no one said damn you are so high.

Cannabis was always a background substance for me but now it is feeling more like alcohol. Could it be that maybe cannabis effects my 20 year old brain differently then my 17 year old one? Or do I just have no tolerance and smoking too much at one time? The problem with the latter is if I take one hit off of a pipe I will have a fleeting high that last like 45 minutes but if I take 2-3 hits I get the giggles for two hours straight.

FYI, I have been smoking 2-3 times a week this entire month and it still is happening.
 
You are just getting extremely high because of your very low tolerance. It still happens to me and I have been smoking 3-4 times a week for 3-4 months now.

The explanation that comes to my mind right away is that you probably got your hands on more potent weed. Also maybe the weed you smoked before was sativa and now you are getting indica? (I get a lot of CEV on indicas)

I couldn't really tell... But all I can say is enjoy it while it lasts :D
 
The only time I got "too" high was when I was at the house and I had been drinking that night (it was a mixer) and I ended up falling asleep in a chair for 5 hours. I didn't giggle at all, just got so tired that all I could move were my arms to shoo away people that were trying to fuck with me. I'm a relatively light sleeper, so anytime I felt someone touch me I'd be able to shoo them off and tell them I was okay.
 
You're one of the lucky ones. I only just started. I had no tolerance to any drug of any shape or form. (Being psychoactive that is). Then I took two strong hits from a bong. I didn't laugh at all. So maybe it's not completely your tolerance that gives you a happy high, it's just your luck. But yes I think that the degree to how happy/high you feel is due to tolerance.
 
2 to 3 times a week isn't going to build up tolerance. I have to smoke 3 full bowls a day or more for 3 days in a row before I start to get less high off of the weed. And the tolerance goes away after a few days of not smoking. I smoke heavily for about 16 days out of every month and I don't have any tolerance.


Just smoke less and you won't get as high.

yo its obvious...either smoke shittier weed or smoke less. if you take 3 hits and get too high just take 1 hit.

this is nothing to complain about!!! :)

Well said.

OP just enjoy it. When I was into smoking herb I'd only do it a few times (1-3X) a month so my tolerance would be kept very low and I'd also get CEVs from Indicas and Sativas.

Smoke less i guess, I just started smoking weed about 1-2 years ago, but ive always seemed to have a slighty natural tolerency.

Ive never had that uncontrollable high where i cant stop laughing, such as some of my friends, one of which sitting right next to me.

The first time i smoked was out of a bong, and its was some purple kush, i took 5-6 hits, and damn..i was high to say the least, and yea i would laugh over nothing, but it was also controllable. I would be laughing over something that actually happened and was funny, even if was only the slightest bit. But never the rolling on the ground laughing seizure shit.

But hey man enjoy it, if your getting closed eye visuals from simpily taking a few hits of weed...Lucky. Considering people try their hardest to get those of off a few hits of acid
 
If your worried about the social situation, really don't worry its just the high thoughts where you forget that everyone around you is also high (what some call paranoia), just take smaller hits to keep up with everyone. Do this till you build a tolerance then enjoy the new type of stoner high.

^^ Have you ever smoked so much that you turned pale and fainted? I'd call that "too" high.

I agree, but this can also happen if at the time their BP, blood sugar, or other stuff is fucked up. Cause ive had times that ive passed out but they werent necessarily the highest ive ever been by any means.
 
I love having lowered my tolerance about 90% over the last few years. Not smoking 3x a day does wonders for tolerance and overall energy levels;)
 
Low tolerance to cannabis is a great privilege, and if you ever over-indulge you'll miss the ability to get a near-psychedelic high sorely! :)
 
I too have a pretty low tolerance, and I think it actually went down after high school. I used to rip bowls and smoke blunts of dank in HS then in college actually freaked out and had a really bad panic attack from a blunt.

To this day I can't smoke as much weed as in HS without getting uncomfortable- even if my tolerance goes up quite a bit I never smoke more than a small bowl of dank (like maybe 5 or 6 hits) without getting plenty high.
 
consider the quality of your weed. maybe a few years ago you were smoking dirt and now you're getting high quality.
your location says CA so maybe your getting some of that dispensary shit. i know that when i smoke with my dad he is not used to the bomb ass weed i smoke and is will often start giggling like a schoolgirl.
