Tolerance?

[whalemeatt]

I'm a college student, home for break. Whenever I'm not hanging out I'm in my room at night, usually getting high to pass the time. At first it was awesome, but now whenever I smoke I tend to stay up till 5am just on the computer or doing nothing. I feel like I'm waiting for something interesting to happen, but it doesn't?

There have been a few nights when I'd have a drink, get pretty buzzed then smoke. Trying to extend my high I guess, or maybe I'm just craving some mind alteration?

Just wondering what one can do to make a high a little more interesting, I'm open to any suggestions!

I'd recommend trying some other drugs.

What's your favourite part about weed? The psychedelics or the sedation?

edit:
also where are you from?

 

[whalemeatt]

I'm from Vermont, I go to school in New Hampshire.

I enjoy both, it depends what situation I'm in. I enjoy getting as 'fucked up' as possible, getting really set back into my head. To the point that everything is an adventure.

I've done LSD before but I feel like for me that's a huge event. The first time I did it was with my girlfriend, the second time was with 5 of my close friends.

I'd recommend trying some other drugs.

....um....

Trying other drugs will definitely add variety, but I feel like that advice isn't in sync with the harm reduction spirit of BlueLight.

If anything, whalemeatt, I would just cut back a bit. Reward yourself with smoking, don't make classes and homework the obstacles you have to get past just so you can smoke.



The smartest thing any of us could tell you to do would just be to take a break, though... just chill with the ganj' and pick it back up in a few weeks for that oh-so-lovely zero-tolerance high.

after reading that you've just confirmed that you and I are very similar in why we use mind-altering substances. I stand by my previous advice even more adamantly now, because for people like us breaks from psychoactive substances are an absolute necessity. You never want to retreat too far into your own mind... there's a lot of potential for some serious fuck-ups down that road.]

I think you are just getting used to weed. Remember how much fun booze used to be back in highschool when it was all new and fun?

Anyways in Vermont you can try Kratom which is a legal opioid which generates euphoria and empathy. As you've tried LSD I'd also recommend LSA (hawaiian baby rosewood seeds) which is more of a mental than physical trip.

The main thing though is you aren't going to be able to suddenly get a lot more out of weed. It is what it is what it is :S The only thing to really get the magic back with weed is to make it a special occurrence.

True but it is better than him smoking an ounce everyday trying to find weed's magic again.

That sounds good because that's pretty much exactly what I've been doing.

could something I eat/drink help reduce tolerance? Maybe cranberry juice or something? I've heard its a natural detox.

No not really. Besides what you have isn't a tolerance so much as you've just grown accustomed to the drug. You can't build up a tolerance to sex but doing it with the same person night after night isn't as exciting as someone brand new.

Actually, I'm a pretty big fan of living and learning. If weed isn't sufficient from him, he'll adapt even if we don't give him any advice... my question for you is do you really want to be the guy pushing other drugs on his psyche, or do you want to be the guy that reassures him that there's more to college than smoking weed until 5am most nights?



I'm not hating, whalemeatt, so please don't think that's what this is. I'm honestly in the same boat on a lot of nights.

 

[whalemeatt]

Yeah I getcha, it's mainly because I'm home and I don't have roommates to entertain me.

 

[Jibult]

Lucky you, my roommates normally annoy the living shit out of me.

Fuckin' gogo, i swear to God....

^(edit: at Jibult) I suppose you are right. There is no need to do other drugs if you are content with weed and laying off it and making it a treat would be even better. I guess for myself I became disenchanted with bud and ending up doing a shit load as well as drinking my face off before I found other drugs such as pyschs and ops which helped me become a "festive only" user.

But to each his own and you are right that there is no need to go running off to try every drug in existance.

Thanks, buuuuuuuuuuuuddy, we gotta keep this as legitimate of a forum as possible.

... UNH?

PM me.


edit: I'm with Jib.... butttt... it sounds like you'd enjoy some psychedelics if you like that aspect, or an opiate if you're looking for sedation. Or a tolerance break to get back to what cannabis used to do to you.

It's not like cannabis cures boredom, it just makes it more tolerable.

 

[Ninjetic]

Yeah, take it from me. I live in the middle of nowhere and all I do when bored is smoke weed. My tolerance was pretty high, now I'm on a forced break cuz my dealer can't sell cuz he's all beat up from a wreck. Shit happens, take a break.
