I get a horrible high... every time.

The first time I ever smoked was about 3 yrs ago, at my friends house whereas I was really nervous; when I smoked I went and sat down on his couch, my vision turned into a widescreen movie and I felt knives down my throat every time I swallowed. Also my mouth would get way to dry. I wouldn't feel good at all, almost to the point of throwing up. So after that experience I thought about it, and came to the conclusion that it was my paranoia/nervousness... Though I was wrong because I've been "attempting" to get actually get a high since then, with around 15 attempts (I honestly don't know). I think its a allergic reaction or a medical problem... I hope it's fixable, cause I really would like to experience great herb. If anyone can help me out that would be great. Thanks.
 
Another one! ha ha.

As you can tell by my response we get virtually the same question on almost a daily basis in one form or another. Some people get used to weed by smoking less, or they become more accustomed to the effects but some people just cannot handle weed and the drug is not for them. Don't force yourself to smoke just for the sake of it.

And no, it's not an allergy. I think people throw the term 'allergy' around far too lightly. If you had an allergy to it you would have a swollen throat, breathing problems, hives, flushed face etc.

edit: is this the same thread as before, re-posted? I'm sure I must have already replied to this exact same thread yesterday if I'm not mistaken :?

Oooh, sorry :(! Well, that's a bummer...
 
Just start out on some indica dominate mids or something, take it slow. No need to jump into Headies right away. Thats why your freaking out. Just try to get some with a lower THC% and a higher CBD% and you'll be good man.

I would do this but then again I heh grew up smoking mids/schwag but this was before kind bud/dank/nugs were easily and hypothetically available. Or just smoke a single hit of the bud even if it's good herb, and see how it is. You can always smoke more later if you want. Keep some water around too for cottonmouth.

I'm not sure what you meant by "attempting" to get high? How were you not able to get high again, unless you are new to smoking herb and don't know how to inhale?

Not everyone enjoys herb if you're really getting terrible highs or experiences from herb then why smoke it? I have friends who told me how they've tried smoking herb once or even a few times and how it's not something that they really enjoyed. The one friend said, "It makes my tongue taste like silver!" and the other friend just said how he smoked a blunt with someone we both knew and how being high made him feel tired, bored, and not something he wants to do again. They both prefer to get drunk. Another friend of mine used to use all sorts of drugs and even be addicted to dissociative drugs, benzos, and opiates but they find herb to be not so enjoyable since being high makes them very paranoid and anxious.

Yeah, cbd high strains act to modulate/attenuate the affects of thc. The selective breeding of super thc strains over the decades imho shares some of the blame.

But starting slow, and treating it like a psychedelic can be useful as well. Alot of the panic attacks/paranoia/unpleasant affects of cannabis for me at least, was because i thought of it as a general intoxicant as the majority of people do. That worked at first, despite a few general unpleasant affects initially, but as the months went on, it did not stay that way, and either i developed a sensitivity to cannabis or possibly developed some kind of mental perturbation. There was a tipping point where anxiety/panic attacks were a regular thing, and i said enough is enough. If its not giving the desired affects, and the side affects become dominant like carlin said the brain should kick in and say "oh, this is making me feel bad, is not good for me, maybe i should stop". All pain, no gain, why continue?

After an extended break, and discovering some issues created by that kind of daily usage without taking care of myself psychologically, by using classical psychedelics, i realized it was set and setting. Half the time i consider getting high now, i don't. Simply for the same reason i don't trip whenever i want to, because its not psychologically healthy for me. But when i do its usually a good time, so long as you prepare yourself for what can arise, but not fixate on it to the point of inducing a "bad trip". Maybe thats why alot of cannabis users that partook heavily as teens/young adults often become occasional users. Could be a developing mental condition as well, be careful, its not as harmless as people want to believe.

It doesn't affect everyone the same, and some people just can't use it like that without being rubbed the wrong way. With that said, theres people who can/do/need to smoke weed errday, and it suits them fine in the long term. Unfortunately no matter how much i want that to be the case with me, its not how things play out in reality.
 
Nah, not trolling, no peer pressure. Just want to get an actual high :(.

ok, sorry dude.

have you tried eating some rather than smoking? oral admin might be easier for you?

get better dope! if your smoking leaf or whatever your not gonna get high your just gonna get a heavy head. try and find either another strain or at least better buds, even better still get some hash or hash oil the high will again be much higher and clearer. hope that helps a little. :)

it might just be that you body doesn't handle it well. id get the best hash or bud i could find and give it one more go if your uncomfortable with the experience id give it a miss, whats the point
 
As others have pointed out this is a very common issue. But heres the thing. It isnt so much an issue. Everything effects everyone differently. Weed isnt a wonderful high for everyone even though its wildly common. But so is drinking, but there are tons of people out there who dont like to drink for many reasons.

I know this for a fact cause I am one of them, this si the easiest comparrison to make, I am one of the few people who(but really not that few) who just cannot handle booze. I get sick easy, it makes me sleepy and feel blah, I never am sure if i will get a good drunk or if i will just feel gross. Because of this i rarely drink.

if you havent enjoyed a cannabis high you it just might not be your thing. Drugs effect everyone differently! All of them!

I have smoke schwag when I was youner also, its all we had now these days the weed and the THC% is way better then anything we could imagine, If you get your Medical Marijuana card if you have that sort of thing in your state, I am lucky right next to California so I do have a card. If its your first time hit a pipe not a bong, easier on the lungs for your fist time, just hit it and inhale, I dont work if you dont inhale you are just wasting weed and that is not a good thing these days since it is expensive.Cotton Mouth still sucks after all these years!
 
Maybe try out hash or a stony strain? When I got into drugs I tried JWH-018 about 5-6 times in finger print amounts and each time was PANIC and aweful, I was scared to try any new drugs infact I would randomly think I had tajen it and it was hitting or some random guy spiked me with it, when I did try other drugs it took awhile to play with potent ones I was ok but went toAmsterdam had cakes 1 nightnothing muuch then the second I hated it, the whik=e exp came back. I Had this from the few other weed times too, either horrible/rubbish or too much - need to get used to smokin it proper I guess.

No, no nice effect it's evil!! I do still wanna try it proper.

No drug has mentally screwed me like this ever, ever.YOung and daft I guess.

gbl/ghb, opiates n stimmy stims for me.
 
Well thank you all for all your responses. I read all of them, they were great. I appreciate it. I'm gonna try edibles probably soon, and if it doesn't work... well. I guess then I've got to stop trying and take up drinking :P.
