I've heard a lot of stories from cannabis users, claiming that the drug helped focus them, make them more creative, help with life etc etc... but i really don't get how all this is possible, considering how god damn lazy the drug makes me.

I make sure to never smoke out with friends anymore... the tiredness of weed is pretty sure to piss right over any night out you have.

If i am home by myself, it is late at night...and i'd be heading for bed anyway... then smoking weed works very well. But in every other scenario it seems to be a burden.

What i'm asking is, does the tiredness effect any of you, do u have any ways to overcome it... or do you even think the sleepy effect is what makes the drug?

What are your thoughts on the tiredness!?
 
weed doesnt really burn me out or anything, maybe you could try vaporzing, a much more energetic and cleaner high. also maybe some caffiene, or maybe your smoking indicas which will make you tired and relaxed, try a sativa strain and it shouldnt put you to sleep
 
it all depends on the strain man.. some will wake you up, some will knock you out.

if you exercise a lot you probably wont get as burnt... a vaporizer is also a good idea since they dont give that tired feeling (i actually dont like them because of that.. i dont feel tired when it's night time if ive only been using the vape)
 
I've noticed the "tiredness" also varies from person to person. I have friends who will have 3 or 4 hits off a pipe and be out cold in 30 minutes flat. I however can never smoke weed unless I want to be up for another 2 or 3 hours - I just get un-tired, and all interested in the effects. I almost always stay up until I'm just about sober again. I don't like going to bed all fucked up, anyway.
 
For me the sleepy effect is a major part of the high and I quite like it - I guess it is because I spent half a decade using it as a sleep-aid when nothing else worked for that purpose...

Like it was posted above, try a mostly sative strain.

Also, the "tiredness" is usually only present in light users. When I smoke daily it only relaxes me, but doesnt make me tired at all.
 
when you get bored you get tired.

when your friends pass out what do you do? of coarse you get some food and somethign to drink and go to watch tv. but then bam your out.

my friends and i use to smoke then go lift weights. its fun when your stoned
 
For me, the second I eat is when I get tired. So don't give in to the munchies and maybe you'll stay up and high for a little longer. :) Hope this helps.
 
I've always thought that the more often you smoke the more tired you will get. I find that when I don't toke daily and don't smoke a cigarette right after I toke I don't get tired at all.
 
i just go to bed. i dont always get the tiredness but sometimes after a long hard day of getting high i can end up exhausted. i just sleep 12- 14 hours a night and that does the trick for me.
 
it all depends on the strain man..

I know there are 3 main strains (don't ask me to name or spell them... but they're mentioned somewhere else on this thread) and it's always the energetic stuff i get which makes u hallucinate. The sleepy version of cannabis (indica?) rarely get's passed through dealers over here.

Ah, very true. Lifting weights sounds great fun.. although i could imagine dropping something heavy on my head

That's also a good point.
 
I have two suggestions.. It is either the strain as mentioned above.. or do you smoke weed spun with tobacco? I find I wanna crash after smoking tobacco with weed.. like after an hour or two.. I don't know why but it makes me way more tired than smoking straight.

Some other good suggestions above too! Especially exercise.. that would help most likely. It maybe related to the workout pot does to your system.. increased heartrate/cardio and metabolism.

oh and deviate: It's bad to sleep for that long dude! Thnka bout it you're wasting half your life too :(
 
I think it may also have to do with what you're doing. Like if you're just sitting around reading posts on bluelight ;) then you're gonna get tired, even if you're not high. I find that if I go out and do something where I'm on the move I don't feel the tiredness at all. Just don't sit around! Unless you want to be tired :P
 
lifting weights stoned is quite the pasttime for me. i love to put a good cd in my discman and go to the gym baked out of my mind. im able to endure more pain and pump out way more repetitions. it also is more enjoyable to lift when experiencing a great head buzz.
 
I`m smoking a good sativa right now, and it`s getting me stoned as hell, but I still get tired, I try to deal with it as much as possible, and most of the time I enjoy it, but it makes me too damn lazy sometimes, I have learned that eating before you go hungry helps, and tea, coffee and all those things seem to help as well.You could also try not smoking as much in one go, if I get too high, I will be tired.

Absolutely. For me, sleep is the only cure for "the tiredness".

And at least a good 6 hours. I only smoke at night, usually a bowl or two, and i find that if i get less than 6 hours, i'm REALLY crappy the next day.
 
Just drink some coffee (or another weak stimulant). Btw, how does food make people sleepy..? That's where I get my energy!

:)

Well, if I eat too much I get sluggish and just want to lay down and digest in front of the TV with my eyes half open =D

I usually only smoke at night and can't eat much during the day, so on the occasions I get hungry I really binge to make up for lost time =D
