I have an opinion about weed and would like to share it to help others, and would love to see support from anybody else who feels the same way.

I have a super thread here: [MEGA]Idiosyncratic/Unusual Responses to Cannabis. I would like to branch off of that and help non-smokers with a different approach. I first smoked around age 15. I was blown away at how psychedelic it was to me. I would try it with friends or in parties and be blown away by how powerful it was. I didn't really like it but would continue semi-regular use when prompted by friends. This timeline below will help visualize how I personally adapted from being ignorant with weed to a 'pothead'.

+1 month smoking.
  • Smoked a few days in a row because me and my friends had an eighth and we were all first trying it out.
  • After the first I would feel it start to take me over
  • Next thing I would know I am taken over and my thoughts are completely discombobulated.
  • It is interesting. But overall annoying and too psychedelic. I was disoriented and confused. But high to say the least 8)
  • My preferred range to smoke would of been 2-3 hits from a bowl

+12 months smoking
  • I would smoke one blunt an average of 20 days w/ a friend
  • The high still did the same to me, blew me away and was overall uncomfortable
  • I would never try to cop weed, I only smoked when my friends offered ~once a month
  • Still too "trippy" of a high to enjoy, just got f*cked up.
  • Extreme paranoia in front of sober authorities. (School etc...)
  • This is while I was in a group home. The routine was smoke, corner store, munchies, home, bedroom, be paranoid. ~once a month
  • This was smoking about every 20 days.

+24 months smoking
  • I would say it isn't until 2 years after I first smoked I started smoking regularly.
  • Senior year for school & sports ended. Had nothing to care about.
  • Forced myself to smoke every day because there was nothing else to do and I was more open to experimenting.
  • ALAS! The high finally starts to change.
  • After about a 3 week binge of smoking non-stop, the high finally develops into something greater and more enjoyable.

The high DOES change. It is enjoyable. You learn that people do not have "weed vision" and how to reduce any anxiety caused from weed. The high just becomes raw enjoyable. It is like smoking a cigarette, maybe taking an Adderall if your are prescribed. (A.K.A Not a big deal, just a small buzz) Slowly you will find it becoming a daily, enjoyable event. My point of this thread is to show how there is a GOOD SIDE TO WEED, not matter what bad you have seen or experiences. It takes self control to reduce anxiety and most of weed's mental side effects are controllable. Simply said you just need to smoke a lot more, but this is my personal story of how I did it. I would be curious when reading reports where people would smoke a blunt while waiting for a small hydrocodone dose for example. All I would think is how the weed would greatly overpower any other emotions/problems/highs for 4 solid hours. This all changes but ultimately tolerance will not be acquired if you do not have some sort of smoking binge. I look forward to other's opinion in regards to this process of weed tolerance and their story.

All in all, its just a little weed <3

I was the same way except i progressed much quicker.

First time i smoked was swag, and i got SO confused about everything. i didnt know how much to get, so i bought 2 ounces not knowing how much that really was lol.. me and a friend stole my dads tobacco pipe and smoke it all but a dime (3-5 g where i from) and i ended up leaving the weed on the trail we were at. We got so confused and it took an hour just to light the bowl at the end lol. Anyways, I didnt know how to feel about it, i liked it but i didnt. I started to smoked every 3rd day and i ended up loving it.
After about 2 months i was a pot head, smoking 8 times a day and not giving a f*ck, especially after i discovered dank. the high was so much different back then as well. 4 years later, i still smoke about 4 times a day (dank now of course), but the high is more medicating than wild. and now i dont let be it shown so much, i dont want to give weed a bad name. it helps me with anxiety and at work i am completely focused. I just smoked a bowl of some juicy fruit.. lol i hope this makes sense.

it took me about 8 times of smoking to actually get high, and when i did, i fell in love.
if you only smoked once and hated it, try to have an open mind about it next time despite the negative experience. that is if you choose to try again. (which you should but that is your choice)

its nahhhtt suuuhhh baaaddd %)
 
My 2 first years of smoking were very similar to yours about the frequency I smoked, but it's the complete opposite with the effects. At first, One of my friend (who was also new to weed) bought an eight so from the first time I smoked, the 3-4 following weekends we also smoked. At this point, the effects were the most enjoyable to me (and the most powerful also). The high was very trippy, and we just kept laughing for absolutely no reason. We simply chilled, talked and random stuff, and everything was very interesting and fun.

After that, I smoked once in a while (on average a 2-3 times a month) for a year. The effects were similar, but the "trippy" aspect of the high was reduced as I began to smoke more. The second year of smoking, I started smoking on a daily basis, taking a few breaks now and then. I'm at the end of my second year of smoking, and I can tell we are in a similar situation. Weed is no longuer trippy like before, I can now act pretty normal when I'm high but it's still very fun. At the moment, I'm on a break and I'll probably stop smoking on a daily basis because I find it has too much impact on me when I use it on a daily basis. Also, I actually enjoy the trippy aspect of weed which makes some persons anxious.

So yes, tolerance has an enormous impact on the high. The first times I smoked, it was really psychedelic, trippy. Now, it's more relaxed, chilled out, euphoric (it was euphoric at first too, but in a different way).
 
Reading these threads really calmed me down. I miss the enjoyable high I used to get. I don't want to smoke every day so I can go back to it, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds weed to be an uncomfortable experience.

But I have to say, one thing I do remember is I rarely got calm or lazy. I always get wired. The times I would get lazy were when it was crappy stuff, and I just wanted to eat an entire pie and watch cartoons. I hate that more than the psychedelic freakouts, to be honest. I dislike feeling like I have to climb trees or go for a run, but I really hate when I get lazy-stoned and I can't even roll over in bed.
 
I'm still in the phase where i don't really know what to think about it. When i smoke by myself i get all freaked out and paranoid, but with friends I'm much more comfortable, but i have about 2grams that i need to dispose of and am just gonna keep smoking to see if i can ever have an enjoyable time by myself.
 
No offense to any of ya'...grow into yourself, before you start smokin' -
Have a purposeful daily routine before you start tokin' up daily...always have a friend/lover to share it with. Figure out
want you want to do to live/make a living before you get caught up in smoking daily...

Many moons ago, some of the first bud I smoked was Panama Red (dark brown rock buds w/ red tri's) this shit was unreal, I still remember the sweet taste to this day, was only 16 (I had just bought a belt buckle that folded out into a pipe) the weed was known to be an extra strong Sativa, I was basically tripping balls -
I had to walk about a mile to get home The only thing I was paranoid about was walking in the door & my ma & dad seeing me, luckily they were on their way out, said damn your high as a kite arent ya'? I was droolin'...They said go to your bedroom & try to sleep I got to my room put on Pink Floyd - Meddle I started thinking to myself "why was I scared, my parents
didnt really seem too mad about it" Never had anxiety after that.. I still dont like extremly
strong Indica though When 100% Indica became so famous/plentiful in the 80's a couple bong hits of that shit would plant me in my seat for 2 hours - dont really like that feeling
hell, I can barely sit down for a half an hour anytime.

+1

I started smoking in grade 7, and me and my friends (most of whom were a year older) would always pitch 5-10 dollars each and get a large sack to get ripped for the night. Like posters above, it was very trippy (psychedelic thoughts, plus I didn't where my glasses which I have astigmatism in both my eyes so the light trails were fun) and was confusing. We'd all be very high, watching T.V/playing video games in the dark, lost in our own headspace. By the next year, it stayed mostly on the weekends but I found I could control the high much easier (also being much more mature). By highschool I smoked maybe 3 times a year during school (special occasion with a friend of mine), but guaranteed I'd smoke during weekends and sometimes afterschool. Same thing continued in grade 10, and though I'd still get slight paranoia, I could interact with people with no problems high. By grade 11 and 12 I was smoking every day after school (if I could afford it) but never at school because I found it interfered with my work too much and I couldn't focus as well as I needed to for the courses I was taking. Once you start smoking daily, weed almost just becomes a routine. Now I smoke weed a lot of the time just because I want to smoke something. Obviously I still enjoy the high very much, but it isn't psychedelic nor confusing anymore, and is always enjoyable without paranoia/anxiety, but I also think that may just come with age and maturity, and not so much how much you smoke (though obviously tolerance plays a part).
 
cannabis is certainly you want ease into slowly. Slowly using the time to work through anxiety issues; if you want to know what it's like to be too high then give a strong jwh a whilst And once you can smoke 10 times a day don't look back. Get high at least 10-16 times a day but don't be bothering with that shitty mall dopel

Good idea.

Some wonderful drugs aren't for everyone: anecdotal, my best friend cannot dose 2c-e with me, because he goes INSANE. I, however, can do heroic dosages.

The same can be said for cannabis. If you are determined, regular smoking does knock back a shit ton of the newbie negatives.... but why force that onto yourself if you're not enjoying it in the first place?
 
i cant handle weed, the high never changed in a few years of occasional chongin.
fuck that shit i wont smoke weed so i just snort speed
rhyme.
causee i spit hot fire.
 
when i first got into it i remember the intial highs to be rather unpleasant, trippy and intense. No panicing or nervousness just like "oh shit oh shit". Like my vision being changed or seeing differently. I was smoking and doing something and then when it hit me or peaked it was like every mili second that passed i didnt remember why or what i was doing and it tripped me out.

but as i smoked more often those 'trippy' things went away and i could function more normaly and be at ease when i got used to the aspects of the buzz. This happened to alot of people i know, they smoked and found it a lil "scary" and intense almost to the point of not handling it.
 
the first time i smoked everything was like a cartoon. after that i don't remember trying to make myself like it, that seams like a silly thing to do. hahaha. i just started smoking more. now i smoke everyday, often but not a lot. a couple hits from my one hitter & i'm good to go, it's always given me motivation and energy. to the point where i can't smoke before bed, it keeps me awake, which i find amusing b/c my bf smokes to go to sleep.everyone has a different body chemistry. i'm prescribed adderral, if i take less than my prescribed dosage, it'll make me fall asleep. anywho, pot's good if it works for you, i don't know that i'd suggest "making" it work for you though. different strokes for different folks. PEACE<3
 
It does change, at first I couldn't handle it and felt like I died, and I was the only soul in the universe that destroyed it's own mind and is doomed to be stuck in a eternal time loop. I had very intense hearing distortions, and strong CEV. It felt like life was a story, with chapters that included basic human ideas like trust, love, honesty, betrayal, trickery, etc. It felt like I was part of something very immense and powerful. These feelings would sneak up on me and I would experience them for a minute to 30 minutes while being sober too, which was weird. It went away after 6 months.

Now, it's really chill most of the time, I cannot replicate the first few times I've toked up (I used a vape my first time).

Just a little note: First time I smoked up was 2+ years ago.

holy shit man.... that like LSD, DMT and mushrooms in one go
 
I know what he means i felt that kinda high before. I guess thats why they classify weed as a mild psychedelic or straight out psychedelic. I would get strange thoughts like that and at the same time feel like i was out of my body looking from another "camera angle" up at my face.
 
No no no...

You're seeing it completely wrong (in my opinion). To me it sounds like you're saying, when you start smoking weed, you're smoking a lot and you can't enjoy it because of how high you are. You finally start to gain a tolerance and you start to enjoy it more. But now you need to spend more money on it. Sooner or later it won't get you high and you will have to spend too much money on it just to get an 'enjoyable' high.

My tips to new smokers are: it's not a competition about who can smoke the most weed. Find the right amount that is enjoyable to you. If you're a new smoker, start with one bowl, or maybe a few puffs off of a joint. You won't be too high, and you will be comfortable. Don't smoke as much as you possibly can and wait until you have a tolerance, that's just stupid. Smoke as much as you're comfortable with, and don't over-do it. You'll find that your tolerance will raise a lot slower and you will be able to enjoy it for longer.
