Smoked with my friend last night

Both agreed it was KILLER bud...
I had 2 cones, rocked out of my mind, on the verge of greening out... I'm lying down looking like a zombie experiencing something that was just a little too hectic for comfort.

My friend on the other hand, had 2 cones the same time I did, and 2 while I was dying, was acting a lot different to me... He explained the same feeling (body sensations, few hallucinations)
But his body language looked completely sober
However he was saying how rocked he was also, but it just didn't seem to even compare to me..
I'm relatively new to marijuana and this baffles me... How I could be so FUCKED off 2 cones and not even want to breathe, and he's sitting there trying to talk to me and shit...
Why was I effected so durrasrically?

My friends cousin had 2 cones tonight of the same stuff and all she says is "il be sleeping easy tonight "
I just don't understand, is this tolerance, or the different effect on different people thing?
 
been a lurker here for a couple years. decided this pertains to me a lot in the past month so this is my first post. glad to be here!

i have been smoking for 8 years or so.. my tolerance has a reversed effect... instead of having to smoke more to get high, i only have to take like 2 or 3 rips off a bowl and im high for like 2 to 2 1/2 hours. its insane.

recently i had been having this thing happen where i get high and i only take around 2 medium sized bong rips and im so high on the verge of passing out. no idea why. my heart races a bit, my head has some tingling and sometimes its a bitch to breathe a bit. this was like a month ago though. now, im pretty much back to normal. it happens rarely now. another thing is when im drinking i NEVER have this happen no matter how much i smoke or what i smoke out of... very weird.

ive just been thinking that maybe the body sends the nervous system into fight or flight. no idea why. its the only thing i can come up with. i get paranoia occasionally when smoking but its pretty rare.
 
set and setting doesnt really pertain to marijuana for me though... and i guess i see how tolerance works for him but definitely doesnt work for me considering how long ive been smoking.
 
When I started smoking weed I would trip pretty hard. Even from smoking low grade hash (U.K soapbar).

Nowadays even the well grown hybrids &/or strong Moroccan hashish just seem to give me a mild relaxing buzz.
Even after a 4 year break.
 
as others have said, its tolerance. even when i stopped for several weeks after smoking for several months everyday and went back, the high is nowhere near as intoxicating and powerful. when you become used to the effects and understand how you are affected, you will always be able to function while high. just keep smoking and in time you will be able to act normal. i remember when i started, it was literally the craziest shit id ever tried. i got heavy visuals, dissociation, derealization, audial hallucinations, powerful waves of euphoria, etc. now i can easily do calculus and advanced math/science (primarily physics and chemistry), computer programming, and more while stoned. hell in my junior year of high school, after only smoking for a month or so, i took my finals stoned and aced them all. trigonometry, english, and physics finals. although for me weed never affected my memory much... my memory has always been astounding, and remembering things while stoned is fairly easy for me.

this could be due to a change in the quality of the weed you are smoking, or the strain. even if it doesnt look/taste that different, it can contain marginally more THC, or a different CBD:THC ratio. both could have this affect. i know that several times ive smoked weed that looked just as frosty if not less frosty than weed id had before, and then been blown away by the high, which was 2 or 3 times stronger than normal bud. the same thing happened to me when i smoked a very sativa dominant strain for the first time; very potent high and it was moderately different from the previous weed i had smoked.

if you have been smoking exactly the same bud the whole time, i have no idea. the only thing that comes to mind is how alcoholics will find that their alcohol tolerance begins to drop drastically after a long period of addiction, but that is due to liver damage and irrelevant in this case.
 
Man there was a point in time where it didn't matter how much green I was smoking, if it was actual buds (i always/only smoke headies "top grade" stuff) I just wouldn't get very stoned. So then I switched to edibles and extracts. Then that did less.

Then I quit.

Tolerance is a bitch. With cannabis, it does drop off pretty quickly, though, so it's not all that bad. I'd have to say it was tolerance.
 
don't you guys find that tolerance for cannabis has a ceiling? I always found this after smoking heavy for a while. It would just top out and if i wanted to get really high then i'd have to just smoke a shit load but would just usually smoke a bowl every hour or so and i was happy with that. The duration gets really short after a while, i'd only be high for 45 minutes at most but i wouldn't even smoke (vaporize) more than half a gram a day.

now that i quit for 4 months i am plenty high from 1 or 2 hits off the vaporizer, any more than that and it feels like too much. I don't roll around the floor and hallucinate though, i don't see how that is possible unless you are smoking hash oil or something, even then i just get really tired, quiet and my memory gets fucked.

For OP: in my time of smoking i have smoked with plenty of people and have seen a wide array of reactions. Some people just can't keep their shit together while high for whatever reason and others are hardly affected despite feeling a great buzz

that sounds like anxiety and explains why when you drink you don't get it (alcohol reduces anxiety). It's the very reason i had to quit being a stoner after many dedicated years. I've now returned but i can only take 1 or 2 hits as i explained above. For many seasoned stoners this is the route we end up on.
 
It's all about tolerance. I can smoke around an eighth of bomb kush and I can still act decently fine, except for eating alot and laughing alot.

The simple answer is, your friend either smokes more weed than you thus has a higher tolerance, or you guys might smoke as much as eachother but he has a higher natural tolerance all together (everyone's wired a bit different, sensitivity to cannabis and cannabinoids can vary MASSIVELY from person to person, regardless of weight or gender. Some people get high enough they green out from just a single toke, where as some people will try weed their first time and feel very few effects at all, and can begin smoking full joints even when they are new to weed), so it takes him more weed to achieve the same level of high that you should both experience if you smoked the exact same amount of weed. To get to the same high as you he'd have to smoke another few bowls for example.

So this time likely, you were extremely extremely high, but since your friends tolerance/natural tolerance would require anywhere from 10-50+% more weed than what got you that high from even if he smoked the same amount, so he is very high, but likely not feeling as high as you. And once your a daily smoker and are really used to being really fucking stoned(the kind that makes you green out when your a rookie), your tolerance raises enough and your previous experiences have taught you to kind of have a "muscle memory" of how to act normal while really high, I guess kinda like if you practice something once, you will fuck up horrible, but if you practice it a 100 times, or a thousand times, it becomes easy to do, just like once your used to being realllyy fucking stoned, you accept it and no longer panic, and get used to how to just act normal even when you feel high as hell.

So yea, it's likely your tolerance or habit is smaller than your friends, thus you can smoke the same amount but you'll still be way higher.

It's all about tolerance. I can smoke around an eighth of bomb kush and I can still act decently fine, except for eating alot and laughing alot.


Exactly what I mean. When I very first started weed, honestly 25mg of bud would get me high enough that I definetely didn't wanna smoke more and felt so weird cause I'd always start thinking it was a dream but then realize this is actually me right now alive, just really fucking high, even though it feels like a fucking dream or something.

Yet you say you can smoke 3.5g's of bomb kush in a session and feel decently fine and be able to function in a manor that appeared reasonably sober. The thought of how high I would get if I smoked 3.5grams of some headies in one session terrifies me lol. I can smoke like a 3rd of a gram now at once and be really high but now I'm used to it and can function much better and it doesn't feel terrifying to me because I know I'm just high and just gotta ride the experience and stay chill because it is gonna where off in a bit anyways. But if I smoked 3.5 grams which is like 10x more than what usually gets me nice and high in a session, I can't imagine how fucking messed up I'd feel. No way I could act normal, I'd either fall asleep or be so tripped out from how high I was, I'd go to my bed and go to sleep because I can usually fall asleep really quick when I'm really high, so I'd likely be able to sleep but then again maybe I'd be so high I'd still be tripping with my eyes clothes tryna sleep. I don't know, but anyways my point is even after smoking for years my tiny tolerance has only increased from 20mg getting me stoned to the point I almost greened out my first time, to about a 1/3g in a sess to not get so high I trip out. Yet basically everyone I smoke with can smoke a fucking 1gram joint in a 4 man sess, everyone taking massive pulls and i just take small/medium ones, and get nice and high and then after the joints done 15 minutes later they wanna roll another one lol. And I have friends that smoke like half ounce a week or more, yet they never even seem high lol. Cannabis effects vary wildly from person to person as far as I'm concerned, more than any other drug imo.

As others have said, tolerance.

I used to be able to smoke joint after joint, getting gradually high.
Took a month break, bought a couple of grams and half a joint wrote me off. Smoked half, was so baked, I curled up and went to sleep.

I know people who get stoned easyly even after smoking heavy. Were all different.
Its wholey similar to alcohol, easy way to look at it.
 
Tolerance - this is why I'm not smoking weed until 2 hours before bed time today. If you smoke all day it becomes a lifestyle, and I don't notice any changes in my consciousness when I smoke, no matter how much cannabis I consume. I end up in another reality though and everything is different - it just becomes another sober. While here, I can smoke any amount of any pot and feel great. I tend to stay here a while because at this point, I get cravings if I try and let myself come down, but there always comes a point, like today, when I get sick of it.

However, if I take a week off, I will trip, and if I don't watch what I'm doing and start bonging hard like I was the previous week, then I will quickly become extremely paranoid and anxious - borderline overdosing with heart racing, feeling like shit etc. If I watch the dose though, the most pleasant highs by far are the zero-tolerance highs.

Two cones is a ton with no tolerance. When I have no tolerance, I can take the tiniest pipe hit of good stuff, and I'll be absolutely flying compared to how baked I was smoking personal blunts the previous week.

I'd say that people respond to alcohol in just as varied of ways, maybe more so.. but your point is very true. I myself seemed to always have a lower tolerance to cannabis compared to most. I could smoke a lot of it at certain points, but my friends always seemed to be able to smoke more.

I have noticed that as I got older and smoked, my ability to function in public high has suffered. Frankly, I am just more concerned about others noticing that I am high. I find that when eating cannabis, I can both function better and also do not get the whole droopy, glassy red eyes as bad.

It is interesting that the two most commonly and historically used drugs also apparently create the widest variety of responses.
 
you guys are so damn lucky that you have reverse tolerance.
Ive been smoking for 4 or so years and it's very costly to get high nowadays.
