Any tips or tricks on how to moderate my smoking? I've been abstaining for 3 weeks and plan on starting to smoke again. I just don't wanna go back to smoking all day everyday
 
Smoke little and smoke it slowly. When smoking try not to make it the main activity rather use it to enhance an activity. Try not to smoke alone.
 
only smoke for certain situations. if you smoke along make it late at night and set aside something fun to do like watch a movie or play online games.

i personally dont like smoking all day every day. it gets old. keep it fresh by making a trip to the beach with some friends or something and lighting up there (i prefer it in the morning)
 
Tnx so i should try to smoke little bits in intervals? I don't have many smoking friends so smoking alone is my only option. So if i'm planning to watch a movie could i have a hit or two before the movie and one or two more after? Would that help from your experience
 
be careful bro! I recently just abstained from ganja for about a month until yesterday, and just a few hits got me supper blazed for hours straight! haha.

and yeah I guess just smoke for special occasions or every once in a while...
 
I know i've done it before. The only problem is when i loose my tolerance i get paranoid and obsessive until i become tolerant again. Any tips on how to kill the tolerance. I've thought about taking a few anti anxiety pills?
 
to kill the tolerance is simple, just don't smoke or cut down to a certain amount.....and your thinking to take anti-anxiety pills to calm down while smoking?
 
What i'm sayin is that i usually get a bit paranoid when high. This paranoia only goes away after a few days of smoking. I guess its because i become tolerant and this allows me to logically overcome the paranoia. How can i eliminate the paranoia without having to do that.
 
hmmm well I think what you should try doing like maybe conserve a bowl for a while? like just take a few tokes every like hour or so. That what I would do if I wanted to eliminate paranoia....
 
I'll try that. I live in south africa and our weed is real potent so its like kinda hard to put a small amount of thc in my body
 
I usually buy swazi from a lady from zimbabwe from R10(+/-$1) for a matchbox full. See the humor. A european guy buying weed grown in swaziland from a zimbabwean lady in south africa lol
 
When I try to limit myself, I will just buy 2 grams and make it last me a week. That way, I know i have to conserve my stash, and I will smoke Sat/Sun night and one day during the week.

I suggest smoking at night. Getting paranoid after smoking is never something I have had to deal with, but I don't think pills are the solution, either!
 
Think of the money. Think of how much extra you save by not having a tolerance.
 
what i always used to do was just wait til night came, then smoke a 2 hitter of some dank out of a bong. doing it that way made a gram last like 4-5 days for me.

Some local tips from an ex pot-head:

Dude, sorry to say but any stuff they sell in match boxes or envelopes is not the best stuff - not for that price - it's full of sticks, stems and seeds and normally very dry because the box is porous. But strangely it does seem to make you extra paranoid, I agree with you 100% on that - it's quite an intense high (if you have no tolerance) but shorter lasting. You want stuff that is bit sticky and the buds are large and difficult to maul (no sieve) with larger but less stems and few seeds. You can buy it only in "bankies" or jiffies (I have never gotten matchbox's with good stuff - not in 16 years of smoking, neither has anyone I know). The decent stuff will have 10-20 seeds at the bottom of the 30g (1 Oz) bag which are normally very large and dark in comparison to stuff out of match boxes. Completely seedless stuff is even more potent but can be expensive.

All you do is mix more potent weed with tabacco if you smoke cigs or get a one hit pipe and blaze small amounts often, it takes longer to hit you as well. I'm a light weight these days, an Oz (or bank bag) can last me up to 6 months - maybe more. Vaporization is also much better than smoking - especially if you get paranoid. Proper vaporizers are expensive, but maybe worth it because they cook the weed at the right temp to only get the chemicals you want out of it.

The rest of you guys might think I'm mad suggesting smoking better stuff when he is struggling with the cheaper stuff, but what we call 'jat or madjat in South Africa might be cheap, will eventually make you pass out and give you a headache - but it is a different type of stoned. It's got a strange intense quality to it, even most of the hardcore pot heads I've spoken to agree, they'll also avoid it like the plague because smoking it with tolerance only gets you the negative side effects and nothing more.

I've got a feeling that the cannibinoids are in very different concentrations with that strain of weed. Not good ones, low in Delta-9 and high in the others which cause unpleasant feelings and high memory loss, like a fog around you. I noticed that your mind starts wandering and because you aren't tolerant of the less desirable effects of 'jat, you become really forgetful. You eventually forget that you weren't really paranoid, just not feeling 100's, and become paranoid because of that - like something is wrong... Or the unpleasant buzz just puts you in a bad frame of mind and then you carry on with that train of thought (or mood rather) to the next idea, which becomes something negative and so on. This happens with most weed, but especially with low grade local stuff. Like I said, it is quite intense, just not that great of a feeling.

Remember, most of the time, it's just your mind playing tricks on you... You can control it if you just think fuck it - but it's not that easy.

NB: Just don't buy any weed that costs around the same to up to a quarter the amount as proper drugs like cat or coke - and comes in 1g-4g sections. That will really mess you up good and proper if you get proper stuff, into psychosis for 4 hours, it won't come from the friendly Zimbabwean lady who sells matchboxes (although not impossible - but highly unlikely).

Ya I used to smoke all day everyday and I just simply got sick of it. Ended up taking a break for a while and now I've been sticking to just the weekends. It's much better that way believe me! You just gotta have the will power to say no when your friends ask you to smoke during the week, or if they really support you they won't even ask you.

Best of luck buddy
 
Does anyone ever find it hard to smoke in moderation? I find my tolerance shoots up over the week and my dose ends up being twice as much as the start of the week.
