Personally, I don't see anything wrong with your question. It's completely legitimate. You want to know how many Xanax to take without killing yourself or without wasting them. People post questions like that all over Bluelight, right?
Xanax are okay. I've certainly enjoyed them from time to time. They're not the best pills in the world or anything, but they're nice on a rainy day or if you're feeling stressed out. I don't have a tolerance to benzos, and I take 1 mg which I potentiate with grapefruit juice and Tagamet. I think my body has a naturally high tolerance to benzos, though. 1 mg without potentiation is probably a better starting dose. If I were you, I'd take four pills, then maybe up it to six next time if you don't feel anything the first time. Just be cautious with increasing your dose until you know how you react to benzos. If you go too high, you'll black out and any euphoria you're able to feel will be wasted. Apparently the line between a nice high and blacking out is really fine with Xanax too, so inch your way up slowly. I find going for a walk at the peak of a Xanax high to be really enjoyable. You get a little bit of a opiate-like floatiness. It's pleasant. I don't know why people rag on benzos. Like I said, they're milder as far as pills go, but I certainly wouldn't ever turn them down.
Good luck, have fun and be safe!
