SMOKING WEED

[rutabowa]

If it's sativa then it can't be too strong and I've got to have a music activity already planned... the thai stick is good for that...

Hm. I smoke every day. And I'm not picky. Slightly difficult (for an unmotivated fucking stoner) to get sativa from most weed guys, but I'm fine with indicas. I am, however, completely unproductive. Now that I have a job where I need to be on my game, I don't.smoke at work. When I was painting houses I was stoned all day, every day. Stoopid. Switched to vaping (autocorrect wanted me to say "gaping...") a few years ago for almost a year. Fell outta that, but should prob get back on that train. I could smoke almost anyone under the table, but that's kinda sad, cause I'd really like to get REAL blazed sometimes, but now it either just makes me feel normal. Or if I do get REAL blazed, it means time for bed. Or sometimes, my one weed quirk.is to get very emotional and cry about shit,.lIke reading a story of a.child or dog or.something being abused. Or just being overwhelmed by the beauty or humor or relatability of whatever thing. Can't say that's really a bad thing, but sometimes it's inconvenient. Also my affect changes and stoned ambivalence can easily be mistaken for cruel sarcasm or curtness. I should probably give it a rest, but I dont really see that happening. To stoned to try not being stoned, haha. Might try to get a line on some organic outdoor shit, it's more conducive to chronic smoking. I think I actually prefer it to the crazy weed that's so prevalent here. Then again  I do often wish I  could get even STRONGER weed. not sure if that even exists but I've never been to Amsterdam.

After being an "all day, every day" pot smoker for nearly 15 years, I've basically traded in smoking weed for SMOKING CIGARETTES.  Yes, I started smoking cigarettes at 32-33 years old.  What the fuck is wrong with me?

What I realized is that I really love smoking tobacco and would oversmoke weed to compensate for not having tobacco in my life any other way than spliffs.  I still like smoking weed, but I can't handle being stoned most of the time (unless I have absolutely nothing to do, or am partying), and can go days without doing it now.  And I'm averaging about 3-5 cigarettes a day (which I'm sure will only get worse, but I've maintained pretty consistently since starting).

I wish I got paranoid or it were too strong for me, would save some bux and I'd probably get more shit done. It's the only "drug" that merges fairly perfectly with my DNA. Couldn't give 2 shits about alcohol, though I like the taste of a good beer. Quit smoking years back. Pills/powders don't do it for me. I'll probably eventually quit cuz I'm a bit old for an addiction, even though it's not an overwhelming thing and I take days off fairly often (and never smoke M-F until evenings). It just seems like something I always look forward to, smoking and taking a hike or listening to a record or whatever, and it's a hard thing to drop completely.

Some of you who think the current stuff is "too strong" would become habituated if you smoked every day. Probably best you feel that way, who needs more vices? I haven't had any weed that knocked me out or seemed "too strong" to do anything in years. I'll bet if I quit and smoked up a month or two later, it would be a much different story.

Yeah, I hear you. I often watch others get ''obliterated.'' Always noticed how it affects people in all different ways. I remember a million years ago, we got a friend real baked. He ran out of the house, in the pouring rain, hardly any clothes on. They found him running down the street yelling and all paranoid about, something. I have no idea. He had no idea what he was doing either. 

Some people really shouldn't smoke it...

Theres some strains today that are like 30% THC though...thats pretty potent.  Of course if you do anything enough, your tolerance changes...but some of this shit is truly next level.

Also weed is a drug like caffeine is a drug......i.e not really

[Scrod Prickknee]

Well, that's why I used quotes. I can handle any strain and drive my car across the state no probs. I've yet to have this "next level" stuff (would like to shake its hands) but again, I smoke just about every day and everyone's different. I don't believe at this point any weed can knock me out.

I used to smoke daily and felt the same, as in nothing was too strong. Now I kinda smoke when somebody offers, which tends to be fairly often—at least weekly. These days I seem to have a harder time handling it. In public anyway. Sometimes I smoke before I go to a bar (this is usually a show), which is a way for me to drink less. I usually sip my beers rather than pound them when I am stoned. However more and more I feel unable to deal with people when I am stoned. I don't know what's happening. Age, I guess.

I was never an everyday smoker, though I've done it every week fairly non-stop for about 15 years. Lately I realized I get really high very easily, and with my low blood pressure I've passed out with as little as one (big fat) joint. Right now I get by smoking only in houses with friends when I know I'll have absolutely nothing to do but stay on the couch and shoot the shit. If I do that in public, I will embarrass myself. Also, I absolutely can't bear to drink while smoking anymore. I'm so mad at myself for not growing a higher tolerance for shit. Almost anyone can drink or smoke me under the table like I was some 12 years old.

Also I get pissed because I see you americans get all the information about the strains, potency, sativa, indica, whatever, when here it's all just WEED, just random stuff. Also hash is way more common. I actually prefer hash because when you just buy that off the street it's cheaper and lighter than most weed and it won't make me faint, unless it's some fancy borbuka or afghan black.

And I really can't understand how you manage to smoke pure weed without tobacco in it to take the edge off. If I smoked a weed-only joint I would DIE after one hit.

[Scrod Prickknee]

I personally do one-hitters. It doesn't take much, or at least I don't smoke that much in terms of quantity at all. Couple hits, usually. Most people I know who aren't vaping smoke out of bowls or even bongs, but those people are nuts (you go through it super fast, and it's too easy to get dumb-high that way). Blunts and joints I think are better for getting rid of schwag, though at this point I'd rather skip tobacco entirely. I don't pay attention to the strain at all, even if there's supposed provenance. It's a (little known? You wouldn't think so) fact that most sellers straight-up make up that shit. I know people who made up names that still circulate, like "that blue turk shit a couple years ago was the best," or even claim they got summa dat again. I go to one of a small group of friends who buy extra, hang out and try it, and then buy it. Some of the worst stuff I've had over the past few years was in medical bags and etc. It's like serving those McDonald's sammiches to hipsters from a food truck. Or something.

If you grow it or know the source, then fine. Also, I've only smoked hash a few times and it was fairly debilitating for me, at least the body buzz portion. The real shit's pretty hard to find here, at least when you compare it to how much weed is everywhere.

Slightly difficult (for an unmotivated fucking stoner) to get sativa from most weed guys, but I'm fine with indica

Regional thing, you're Canadian right? Anywhere down south it's difficult to get anything but sativas on the street.

Yep.

I'm really fucking disappointed in you, man.

[Matt]

Yep, I'd drop the cigarettes now while you are only mildly addicted. I am currently on my millionth attempt to quit smoking cigarettes. I am usually good at going a week or more without a cigarette, then I will go to a show or have beers somewhere and smoke 10+cigarettes in one night and feel like hell the next morning. Hasn't quite been a week this time around. I am determined this time. Much like I was all the other times.


Also, I think since I don't smoke pot on a regular basis, it tends to tear my throat up when I do smoke it. I've tried vaporizers, but it is not the same for me. Seems like more trouble than it is worth and I'd rather have a joint.

Haha. That's great.


I used to wear Cypress Hill shirts in high school. A couple teachers were like,
"We get it." and wanted me to piss in a cup...
