I have trouble keeping it up.. the high i mean :D
It's true. I rarely stay high for a long time, maybe like 30 mins to an hour max. I generally need 2-3 bowls for a good high that doesn't last too long. When I mixed alcohol and herb, I used to get the spins so bad, once i was in a bathroom for two hours, one hour was spent just dry heaving. Now, I almost have to mix the two just to get messed up. I don't really smoke that much, just once at night on the weekends. I'm not sure what caused this.
On the one hand, I think it's physical. I don't really exercise, i'm about 210 pounds, 6 feet tall, and i'm generally sedentary. I've been drinking some detox tea which seems to help a little.
On the other hand, I think it's psychosomatic. I'm in college and if i'm with some friends, I can generally act the most sober of all of them. I have to keep a sober mindset in case I'm talking with campus popo about something or with an RA. I think that I may have mentally blocked myself from getting high so I won't get in trouble if i'm caught.
Finally, this is a little off topic in terms of the above statement, but I was curious about this. I've made a McGuyver bong, i.e. it's an old plastic handle of vodka, a copper pipe, and aluminum foil for the bowl. I didn't realize this before, but after a few hits, it gets harder to keep the stuff in the bowl because the foil will burn up. Is this extremely unsafe? or is it harmlessly caught in the bong water? Either way, i'm going to replace it with some steal mesh to see if that works better. Thanks -Mnx4
