Henry 1/8th: Version 3

[breakcorefiend]

Sativas taste better, smell better, smoke better, and give a much better high.

Whilst I agree, the soaring high ya get from a sativa is unrivalled but i do enjoy the balance of a fine hybrid such as chocolope or nycd

But I'm currently smoking a mighty fine haze so yeah, sativa's are good :D

 

[dan88]

Does anyone know which type of weed is more anxiety causing? I only ask because the bit I have (which I'd say is an indica/sativa cross) has kind of put me a bit anti social the last couple of nights. I've still enjoyed it a lot but speaking to anyone has been a challenge. I'm putting it down to my dopamine levels being low after a heavy stimulant binge just days ago. The same bit was fine before that.

Why is it people say hash is better for not causing anxiety? I smoked some very nice temple ball at my dealers house on boxing day but I don't really have access to any other great hash. Prefer the taste of a nice spliff of weed too usually.

Most people I know quieten down after a spliff or two, doesn't sound like your getting anxiety from it. However sativas generally cause more anxiety in general. I do prefer sativas, but a good strong indica before bed is pretty tasty

 

[Mailmonkey]

I haven't smoked any pure hazes/sativas since I stoped growing

Most growers can't be arsed with the long flowering periods, and the unruly growth and height issues caused by sativas.

I did grow Cinderella99 once, which was bred from a Jack Herer, was the closest strain I ever grew to being a sativa high, with a (albeit leggy) indica stature and bud formation. Very nice, was a bit much for some people, the high. And very prone to budrot, was the only strain with which I ever had problems with budrot.

Most hybrids these days I find pretty samey, they're nearly all bred for an8-9 week flowering period, stocky stature, and solid buds.

I like a long loose airy sativa cola.

Grrrrrrrrrr

i was in Amsterdam at the weekend. The most enjoyable smoke i tied was amnesia haze from the amnesia coffeeshop. i tried loads of other nice strains and hash but for me that one stood out. It sucks coming home to people charging me £10 for 0.8 of damp weed.

 

[scottishdnb]

White Rhino was a great smoke, Berries too. Blue Cheese is another favourite but too easy to get caught with the stink of it
Shame it's all 2.5g for £25, would last me three days tops... Then again synthetic cannabinoids are an absolute nightmare, probably
responsible for my current digestive problems and GI pain having read up on the subject and heard other people describing the same thing.

Definitely stay with the real herb and manage the addiction or dont smoke at all. Not a lot of good to come from synthetic cannabis.

Depressing isn't it, come back pick up and look at your early cropped, quickly dried, poorly trimmed uncured buds and think i live in the wrong country!

I'm not too bad with it. Couple of spliffs a day/night an eighth would easily last me a week. Don't understand people buying cheap shite so they can smoke more at the cost of any real enjoyment. I'd rather pay too much and have a gram of something special than too little and an ounce of something I'd rather forget.

thats it mate il hopefully go over again in a few months and do it propper this time. our apartment was far to comfortable which meant we didnt get out as much as we intended. we had a hammock, huge beds and the set us was completely made for stoners. The landlord was an old man from london who told us absolutely everything we needed to know about coffeeshops and amsterdam in general. he even provided us with a selection of bongs and stoner board games lol

Where was that? I've always stayed in hotels, but some of these apartments look perfect for a hazey weekend away, you don't get no PS3's or hammocks in the Delta Hotel!

Ha my new years resolution was to have all January off weed. I grew some KC33 outdoors last year and have just been smoking non stop since I dried it, it got to the point I was getting stoned for about 30 mins off a joint. Anyway, I've broke. I gave the oz or so left to a mate to keep for me, but text him this morning telling him I'm picking it back up

 

[Dr_Robotnik]

You grew a successful outdoor crop in the UK? How did you manage that if you don't mind me asking? In a greenhouse?

it was about a 5 min walk from amnesia and the grey area. it was a perfect location imo because it was close enough to the centre of the city but it was a very quiet/relaxed part of town.

Well I've stopped smoking grass and taking drugs, except for caffeine and similar for at least the past 3 days after feeling I was getting too paranoid/anxious/depressed from heavy use in general of all drugs so weed had to go with it.

To be honest, my sleep has definitely went to shit, it takes hours to get off to sleep and when I do it's never for long for a decent nights sleep. But since I'm not high all the time I'm still alright, almost like a counter-balance. Got a few hours there but don't want to be up all night now fuck sake. It'd be easy if I could watch TV but I do not have the concentration/attention span for it for some strange reason, almost if I'm stoned if it's something properly good but sober like this not a chance.

I haven't found anything else an issue whatsoever, not even boredom really to be honest. However the issues that I stopped taking drugs over, such as feeling depressed, while they've eased are still there but I'm hoping this script of beta blockers speeds things up a bit but they are for anxiety, but have had personal issues too that time needs to heal. As I don't plan to stop entirely, I just need to learn how to moderate drug usage. Best quote I heard in a while is that 'I noticed that when I go out, I'm more looking forward to what I'm going out to take than what I'm going to do.' And that was the case for me. Also loss of appetite but that's cause I don't sleep/eat without weed.

Does anyone know a bit more about weed/drug breaks and getting them out of your system. On my time on BL people have rhymed off lots of timespans such as takes 3 days, 1 month, 3 months, 1 year, etc. Has anyone with anxiety ever been in a similar situation, tried the sober route and realized it was weed? Personally I think it was due to heavy benzo/stimulant/psychedelic use too and I just pushed myself a little far, but you can't do these things half assed and I've never taken a break from drugs in my life before so may as well.

When I quit smoking weed, I always find I can't get off to sleep. Go to boots and get some sominex, if you take one of those it'll help you get a decent nights sleep. I find I crave weed for about two weeks after stopping, but then after that I'm not really fussed about smoking it. I've never got anxiety, but I don't tan the stims or benzos

 

[fluffybudzz]

im having the same problem specialk. am back from holland (where i smoke everyday) and in london for 6 weeks. I have tried to smoke less for a tolerance break, have failed miserably, if anything things have gotten worse. Im still smoking (less tho), but now drinking a lot of beer/wine on top. plus sleeping is really quite hard for me, so have been taking ambien when i haven't been able to smoke in the evenings. there have been nights were i havent taken any form of drug and my sleep pattern has gone down the drain, i have woken up due to the tiniest amount of noise/disturbance.

Without weed or some for of sleep aid, my sleep is awful. feels pretty fucked up tbh., special have you been getting mad cravings? I seem to be getting cravings every night, not for weed in particular, but for just about any kind of sedative

at least you have made the decision to take a break. When i find myself in situations similar to yours exercise and healthy eating seem to really help. The exercise boosts endorphin levels making you less depressed/anxious and more upbeat, and the healthy foods will speed up your recovery making you feel better mentally and physically.

I also recommend meditation of some sort. This can be as simple as taking 10 or 20 mins from your day to sit in a quiet space and try to just concentrate on your breathing. Youtube has loads of decent guided meditations which i have found really helpful as they let me take a step back and see things more clearly which has a really positive effect on your mind and body.

good luck on your break mate and hope your feeling better soon!

 

[Dr_Robotnik]

The above from headfuck123 is solid advice. I had similar allbeit not as bad after a stimulant binge since before Xmas until 30th december. Booze is bad for causing anxiety too.

Bought some benzos too, but once again I find myself hammering them. After today I'm going to stop them too even though I still have about 7 scripts left.

Got a wee bit of nice weed allbeit is a bit wet, but I've dried it now. Back to a light exercise regime and after this weed is done I'll get my head back into as sober a life as I can manage.

 

[Shippy420]

Special K I'm in the same boat as you - stopping drugs because of depression/anxiety issues - been making a conscious attempt since the start of the year. My main problem is weed though, after 3 days of not smoking most my anxiety disappears, but I find it so hard not to smoke partly because of a tobbaco addiction that I only fed through smoking joints, and partly because whatever group of friends I hang around with there'll always be someone offering me weed. It also sucks because I really, really love the high off weed, but it's not good for me in sober time. Don't plan on quitting drugs entirely, just daily use of drugs, especially cutting back on the daily use of weeed

So far I've not done too well at not smoking, but I've had 3 days off since the start of the year which I never normally would do, and the only reasons I smoked the other times was cos I was drunk.

Sober at the mo and incredibly bored - would normally either watch TV and smoke weed or go and meet my mates and smoke weed, but that just won't do haha. Sober me better appreciate all this fucking effort I put in for him.

 

[Dr_Robotnik]

Sounds like you need to associate with people who have more to them than just being stoners.

 

[SpecialK_]

Easier said than done when your a stoner yourself! Couldn't tell ya a mate of mine who doesn't toke.

Had a few tokes of a spliff tonight, to be honest I'm a bongs/pipes guy so it didn't do too much but I'm still sort've wondering whether I should regret that now. But there is no point regretting what is done as that'll only lead to feeling shitter. Left all toke kit/weed at a friends so temptation isn't there. Still, that was 4 days off, probably the longest I've had in a good few years. Making this shit sound like heroin. Realizing that drink is also a big influence here.

Although I managed to reduce my weekend binge filled with cocaine/speed/mdma/weed/lots of drink just to 2 litres of strongbow and some tokes on a spliff and I'm happy with that. Just hoping I can get enough water in me now to make the hangover less noticeable. I plan to sleep through tomorrow as best as possible as I haven't been able to sleep well at all and may as well take this opportunity. It's odd how in depth you can get into it all for a drug as simple as weed, but to be honest while I say that I am used to taking various drugs everyday, weed was just the primary one. I'm coming off a few week benzo binge too, but thankfully it hasn't been too bad. In fact, none of this was too bad until I started drinking tonight, now I feel back to sq 1 feeling wise.

Considering though, saving the money I would spend on grass myself and just putting it away towards an Amsterdam fund. Wait a month or two, fly over and try make myself whitey. Isn't it important to exercise while trying to lay off weed also? Bit hard to do in current weather without a gym membership but I'll make an attempt. Thanks for the advice everyone, I'll reply personally tomorrow to each. Half this shit might not produce any results, but I find doing them gets a bitta placebo on the go and your well.

Was gagging for a smoke earlier so made a few phonecalls. Nearly bought another 8th of white widow or "skunk", but Both were wanting £45 an 8th white widow was 50 infact.

Another mate said he had some outdoor sativa and he'd do 4g for £30. Let me see it first etc. So popped by on the way. Major scored it's actually way over the 8th and smells/tastes real clean and fresh. It doesn't look quite so crystally but the high is so uplifting I've been on a productive mode even went a jog round the block.

Here's a pic http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/2160/munch20130108222005.png debating another spliff and a vally but then I'll have to have a drink too hah.
