I don't enjoy Cannbis anymore.

[Unlucky]

This may sound like the problem someone has from over-use but in fact its not as I have not used Cannabis recreationally for 11 years...

I used to be a huge fan of Marijuana and smoked it everyday, for me it used to be it was one of the most enjoyable ways to relax at the end of the day and there was always some ocassion where cannabis fit into....

But then 11 years ago I suddenly developed this neurological illness known as Autonomic Dysfunction which is a disabling condition effecting all the bodies automatic functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, temperature and etc. I could no longer tolerate any substance that tweaked my already unstable Autonomic System...

So I stopped using pot for 11 years, but recently I began to explore the effects of Cannabis to manage my chronic pain as I am unable to take any opiates due to adverse effects. But I am finding that I no longer enjoy the recreational effects cannabis as I used to, my stash has been just sitting in the house for several weeks now untouched.

When I do smoke it sure it takes the edge off the pain but I no longer see the point of its recreational use anymore. I seem to perefer my straight clean head as opposed to getting high. For me the thought of getting high is nothing more than just getting hungry, having my thought patterns become a bit creative, racey and foggy and then its all over....like whats the point? I feel more chill and relaxed when I am not on cannabis because cannabis seems to occupy my brain with thoughts and keeps it busy and active, not in a bad way but also not in a way that is appealing enough for me to use it when I am at home just chilling.

Nowdays the only times I find Cannabis worth using recreationally is when I go to some party where the I can utilise and explore its creative effects on my thinking, in a social atmosphere. I dont really understand why I dont find it as pleasurable as I used to, have I just outgrown the phase or any other ideas ?

I'm not sure what you were expecting - it's just a little green

Depends on what strain you are smoking, what high are you searching for?

You're going to be consistently let down if you think weed is the holy grail of drugs, especially if you've been down opiate road. That said, you should be able to get astonishingly high from very little from an 11 year break - the quality / strain of what you are smoking is my biggest question here.

Or hey, maybe you did outgrow it. You stated that it takes the edge off pain and occupies your thoughts - well, looks like cannabis is doing it's job then, eh? It sounds to me like you miss your old tolerance. If you keep smoking, that will come back.

well rember todays weed is ALOT stronger than it was 11 years ago.11 years ago the avrage strength of stree weed would be 4-6% THC als todays CDB % has changed alot for eg "skunk" (a strain of weed)has about %18THC and %0CBD apprentley strains of weed with lower % of CBD have a higher chance of inducing scitzophronia.
i am a every day smoker im 18 ilove it its the best way to relax i would much pefer a big fat cone of sticky hydro than a beer.
my dad on the other hand is 40 and very realy smokes now he says its way to strong for him and not enjoyable.so maybe the feeling of weed changes with age.
how old are you?plus are yousmoking medicial weed bush weed or hydro.
if ur smoking hydro try switch to some bush of some hydro leaf.
also how are you smoking it through a bong?sometimes bongs can be too much if u havent smoked in a while try using a vap or smoking a joint...
hope this helps mate and sorry to hear about ur neurological illness hope u get better..

I had a friend that smoked cannabis all the time just like you. He had to take just a four month break for some reason and when he tried it again he hated it. He hasn't smoked since. He just doesn't dig it anymore.

I took a break for a few years and when I first started smoking again it was not nearly as enjoyable as I remembered but here I am again, smoking daily (and enjoying it as much as ever).

If you feel that way about it though it might be a wise decision to quit while you're ahead and save some money and your health.

 

[Unlucky]

Thanks for the responses and you guys made some good points, to be honest I am really not sure myself but it seems like there may be several reasons as you guys mentioned.

I am getting stoned of a very little amount and the quality is high grade hydro skunk but when I remeber back to the old days when I got stoned I used to just love the feeling and often if I smoked enough it was very sedating and I used to pass out on the couch, thats what I want again but I guess now it feels different and I think it maybe because I am not pushing myself to the limit because of my medical condition because when I overdo it thing often get bad quickly. So Ive just been having a a bag or two from my volcano vaporizer to the point where I dont feel like having anymore and I feel satisfacoraly high but maybe I need to push things beyond that limit to get a more intense effect.

I also agree that after being on opiates previously the effects of cannaibis dont seem to be as intense in comparison, so maybe that and everything else you guys said.

Have you tried edibles or is that not an option for you? 12 grams of low grade cooked into 12 brownies should do the trick and more, you'll be couch locked and loving it most likely.

It's hard for me to enjoy weed now, even though I was a daily smoker all through high school. If I smoke now, I cannot function whatsoever, I used to be able to do anything high, but now, even simple tasks are damn near impossible. I don't know if this has anything to do with the fact that I'm addicted to opiates or the fact that I have overdosed from them. And the weed now is no different here then it was a few years ago.

 

[Tunnelfission]

Even I have noticed a large amount of anxiety after some sessions with cannabis, which I found very odd being a daily user for years... guess the experience DOES change with age. I don't know many old fellers who even smoke anything other than thin joints, refusing bongs and toting pipes as intense

Your whole schpeal about weed being stronger now then it was 11 years ago is ridiculous.

Im so baffled about how over time the feeling of cannabis changes over time. Maby its tolerance? I smoked heavily for 4 years. Over half of the time all i wanted to do was smoke i loved it so much. I was content with just smoking and listening to music. Spent most of my days as blasted as i could get.

Then i stopped due to a heavy lung infection that ended up turning into phenomonia. After stopping the heavy use of marijuana for about a month, my motivational level increased drastically. My social skills improved, and i was very happy.

Then after the lung infection went away i started smoking again and i swear i couldn't handle it anymore. It was so confusing and threw my head into negative head space. I started to get this feeling that everyone in my town was thinking i was doing herion because i could not handle weed anymore(something i would never do EVER!) The entire experience was anxiety filled, and i would be more than quiet. More like un-responsive.

So i didnt smoke for almost 2 months. Then ended up snagging my self a medical connection. Started smoking again, and its still not the same experience as it used to be but the anxiety has lifted slightly.

Im thinking its the tolerance that effects the experience. When your tolerance is down to zero, you get SOOO HIGH after smoking half of what you used to. IMO tolerance is nice when it comes to weed. I dont like getting too high unless im by my self. Just to socially awkard when your retarded off herbs.

guess the experience DOES change with age

Sorry but there is absolutely no backing to this statement :/ Many of the most legitamit MMJ patients are older folks.

As for you not knowing any older smokers, I'm in my twenties and I know several 50 or so year olds that cultivate cannabis in their home, and quiet well... Usually better than the people I know my age, and they still seem to enjoy getting high just as much as I do.

you wanna make a bet mate?! 11 years ago we dident have botenests ovevr in holland creating new strains of weed and going all over the world to find new strain of weed and make hybridsout of them.i would do some reaserch before start making dumb comment like that.i was just trying to help this blok out.
this is a HR site and ur comment has nothing to do with HR ur just trying to start little bitch fights over the net grow up loser...
also we dident have strains that are %15 THC or strains that make you hulcanate (spelling you know what i mean when u see shit that isent really there)

also im from australia so thing may be diffrent over in cali i hear it is legal to smoke on a state law or om shit

Nah havent trried that yet, I want to but its a bit risky for me with my condition cause if I dont get the dose right I may end up overdoing it, I find vaporizing gives me alot more control on the dose.

 

[BanginMyLifeAway]

i used to smoke weed everyday and loved ..still do..

but i started doing.. oxy rc...ect and i still smoked but it wasnt the same i didnt reallly buy weed no more but i got off the other shit and im back to just smokin for the most part

 

[88brenno]

I only enjoy cannabis when I am alone, it has been this way since.....well i guess since i started abusing mdma like HARDCORE every weekend atleast for like 4 years and then LSD HARDCORE for over a year and every weekend...


Now i have anxiety issues and weed brings it out bad... I guess if theres anything you can learn from my post it is that if you are an anxious person in general then maybe psychedelics arnt for you.... or to really keep your use down alot...


PS I have been smoking the green for about 9 years....

 

[mr.muncheez]

I think what happens is when you take long breaks from it and then start smoking again, you experience a high amount of paranoia and anxiety. You have to stick with it and keep smoking every single day and your body adjusts to it and you will no longer feel that way, except for the occasional bug out here and there from taking too many big choakers...LOL You will be able to enjoy all the benefits of good clean herb if you don't over do it, but increase the frequency of your smoking, just smoke less at each sitting...just my 2 cents.

 

[Unlucky]

Yea I agree with you mr.muncheez, it sort of like how people who smoke cigarretes enjoy it because their addicted to them and it seems you need some sort of tolerance or addiction to apreciate what cannbis has to offer.

I have learnt a lot from the reponses here, thanks everyone.

Yeah we did (assuming that you meant "we didn't have botanists over in Holland...").

also we dident have strains that are %15 THC or strains that make you hulcanate (spelling you know what i mean when u see shit that isent really there)

Yeah we did. And "hallucinate" was what you were looking for.

i would do some reaserch before start making dumb comment like that.

It is evident that you would not.

Seems like you're the one starting (poorly written) 'bitch fights.' You're giving off a huge negative vibe and making yourself look like a stubborn tosser, chill .

Weed hasn't got any stronger in the past 40 years; however well-grown potent bud has become more available and largely replaced outdoor "toss the seeds and see what happens" cannabis. Sorry for the OT.
