Okey, this is propably stupid question but I don't know much about weed and need to know something about correct dose in my difficult situation because I don't want to make it more difficult.

I must tell that my first panic attack in my life was caused by weed but my long history of benzo use and abuse have gotten me through some horrors I couldn't imagine could even exists. So now panic attacks don't bother me anymore and I have used DXM regularly during my GABAergic withdrawals wich also used to give me massive panic attacks before but not anymore. Maybe benzohell has learnt me something.

So I got some good weed and need to know how much would be good starting point to take it to get relaxed? I trust my friend who gave me those but he don't know about my benzo problems and I haven't enough time to tell and ask him. Of course the THC content varies but if you imagine for (mental)safe reasons something very strong/est sedative strain and take account I'm withdrawing from GABAergics (phenibut and benzos but also using Lyrica) what would be good dose to start in mg?

Thank you
 
um i wouldnt judge weed on its weight. just roll a joint, take a drag and then wait and see. thats the good thing about smoking a joint is you can establish the effects as you go along
 
You using a piece? Pack a bowl, take a hit, wait 5-10min to feel out your high, repeat as necessary.

Blunts/joints? Roll one, spark, take 4-5 hits, put the j out and wait 5-10min to feel out your high, repeat as necessary.
 
Thanks. I'll make joints. I just don't won't to waste it so thats why I was thinking is there some amount in grams (mg) wich would propably be right for 0 tolerance you could suggest?
 
because its not a powder it doesnt really work like that. you could get a rough guide of effects by weight but i dont think it would be consistent.
 
Just make a joint and take a puff every five minutes until you reach the desired effect. You don't weigh out the weed because you only smoke as much from your joint as you need. Obviously you'll need to put enough weed in the joint so that you can roll it and smoke it properly.

If you smoke too much you'll probably end up feeling like you're having a heart attack so go easy your first time or it'll bite you in the ass.
 
As everyone else has said dont judge by the weight. You never know just HOW STRONG your bud is till you smoke it. Take it 1 HIT AT A TIIME!

Wait between each hit. Dont rush it.
 
Wait so are you withdrawing from both Phenibut and Benzos? If so, how long has it been since you last used them? Are you on a taper or did you taper? All these questions need to be taken into account.

Can you not go to a nearby store and buy a cheap one hitter? That would be the safest move. I do see that you are a European though, which means you likely mix your joints. Take it slow. You can always roll up another one.

Anyways, be very careful. Cannabis and Withdrawal (especially sedative withdrawal like benzos or opiates) can be a very tricky situation. Some feel like it helps them, but the doses have to be low. Others do not like the mix at all. I always found that a low dose of cannabis did help, but only after the first few days.

Also keep your setting in mind, the last thing you want is to be too high with racing thoughts and no options to distract yourself.
 
One hitter s a great idea actually. It will help you make sure you dont pack too big a bowl...if forces you to pace yourself.
 
Thanks for advices.

I'm withdrawing from both benzos and phenibut. Also I have used tramadol little on/off because I have also back pain. At the moment I'm quite stable at doses of 200mg baclofen + 0,5mg rivatril + 300mg Lyrica a day. Now I have also took tramadol few days but have to propably stop it soon because if I start to reduce doses of benzos I don't mind to have drugs there that lowers seizure treshold like tramadol does.

Btw, how safe it is mix cannabis and opioids? Do you have to be as careful as when combaining benzos with opioids? Anyway I have still big tolerance to GABAergics and some tolerance to opioids. My doses were sometime ago over 10g phenibut, 2-4mg xanax, 40mg temazepam and 600mg Lyrica per day.

hm.. Cannabis is illegal where I live so no stores :/ Okey I will roll a joint with tiny amount of that flower and add some tobacco with it and smoke one hit and see what will happen. I have two different kind of cannabis: other is stimulating and other is sedating. I think that sedative might be better option for me at the moment? Or how will those stimulating strains usually affect? My main purpose is to relax in front of tv and have a good sleep after it. With withdrawals I have gone sometime a week without sleeping much at all so I have been kind of tired. I suppose those stimulating strains isn't good for that or could they be?
 
This one time, I heard a guy smoked 3 weeds, and he totally like, OD'd and died. Three weeds, can you believe it!!!????
 
Mixing weed and opiates is not concerning in any way similar to mixing opiates and benzos, no.

Regarding gauging the right amount 'for you' to smoke, I too would suggest a one hitter. There are so many factors that need to be taken into consideration in order for one to 'guess' on your behalf so all I can say is take a good hit and wait ten mins, see how you feel and take another if you're comfortable with it. Repeat as/if needed.

WHOA THERE!!!

Enjoying your weed after your Percocet kicks in is a bit different than gobbling a Xanax bar and a Perc' 30 at the same time. Fuck, though... the latter just sounds so fucking fun....


[edit: in retrospect, I may've misunderstood your post, woamotive. If that's the case, disregard... I'm unsure, though.]
 
Well as I said I'm not very familiar with cannabis because have been playing with other substances mostly so...

Wasn't sure how much would I take in my hand that flower because I haven't made a joint before and didn't knew how much you generally put that stuff in one joint. Whole joint full of flower? Because I have those mg scale I used it and thought I playe extra safe and maybe would put only 300mg of that flower. It seemed to be so small but then I thought I take 30mg. Okey I made a joint from 30mg of flower with some tobacco and took one hit as you told me. Glad that I did only that one hit because it affected me very strongly. If you didn't have told me to take one hit I would propably have smoked about half that joint because the amount seemed so small. I thought I would take a little more hits and took about three or four. That was a mistake. I went a little too crazy and felt very strong derealization but that didn't bothered me much as panic attacks etc. don't hurt me so strongly anymore as they used to.

But anyway, that wasn't very nice experience. So I thought I would start next day very slowly with 30mg and take hits not so much at one time. So the next time was very nice and relaxing. Just what I was hoping it to be. After that I have used every evening because I have allmost become addicted to weed now. It is very relaxing! Makes me thinking that why the hell I abandoned it in the past just because it few times made me panicked and psychotic.. Well.. I was young and stupid then ;)

Questions:

Is it possible to take every day weed and use long period of time and then stop abruptly without withdrawals? I mean hell, if thats possible (as I've understood) I will use weed from now on to help me in my benzo withdrawals.

Btw, I have weed and flower. I have only tried that flower now. How would that weed be different and would it be usually better or worse than flower? What are main differences.

Also, what are main differences between indica and sativa? Somenone on here BL said that indica is good for benzo withdrawal but sativa is bad. So could I assume this might be indica wich I'm using? This flower at least makes me feel sleepy and strange kind of dreamlike state.. reminds me it has some similarities with phenibut&lyrica&tramal nodding combo wich I have used.

Thanks
