I'm extremely tolerant to pot. So yesterday, I inhaled it, drank it in a tea and ate it. I was disappointed when nothing happened for a few hours, so I went to bed. By the time I woke up, 10 hours after eating pot, I was finally stoned!!! :p

It was weird when I woke up. I tripped out when I started feeling what my brain was doing. I was also connecting things that I don't usually connect. My senses were heightened. And my eyes were doing weird stuff! I didn't realize I was baked, so I thought my brain was damaged! :D

The weird eye thing was paticularly intriguing. They were moving back and forth and everything was blurry. It felt like I was travellling through some sort of substance, like water. I felt like time was passing faster. While this was happening, I could feel heat in a particular part of my brain. It was about on the front of my skull, but a little bit more inside....

So I wonder if anyone else has experienced the eye thing, and particularly the awareness of which part of the brain you are using at the time!


Anyways... pot is fun. I wanna do it again!

:m:

Is that legal where you live...?

Trouble with eating it is that there is a delayed reaction and you may find you are stoned at a time when you really shouldn't be.

I don't know why, but I just had this vision of all of the people in, say, the USA stoned on pot all the time. Reminded me of some of the scifi movies in the old days ...everyone lined up, crowded around, numbly and stoned awaiting their next food tablet and pot supply distributed by the government.

Yep, that's the way it oughta' be, huh?

Perhaps it was.

You INHALED it? You mean, like coke? Man, that will surely fuck with your respiratory system. You must NEVER inhale grass, unless you mean you just smelled its fragrance.

Pot is fun. It is so fun that you could easily get enamoured with it, yes, I mean fall in love with it, as opposed to being addicted, which is almost the same thing but not quite. You could love it so much that it can fuck with your daily life, your relationships and your capacity to reach a decent pinnacle of success. It could also land you in prison, or at least leave you with a police record.

Before I ever tried marijuana seriously, I was always against drugs and never felt that I had a need for them, but then it happened, and I fell in love with it. My love affair lasted more than 30 years and if my wife hadn't asserted that she would divorce me if I didn't stop a couple of years ago, I would still be making love to it right now. My plants would still be growing (illegally) in my little ganja room and every day I would run the risk that one day I would be discovered and end up with a 5 year jail term sharing a cell with real criminals, getting my arse fucked daily and no wife to look forward to at the end of my term. When you look at it like that, you realise that :m: is probably the worst bitch you could go and fall in love with. I say cut her out of your life right now.

Perhaps he means he smoked it?

Anyway, truthseeker might be the first person I've come across who I would encourage to smoke a hell of a lot more pot.
He's got this real cheeseball factor going on which needs dulling or toning down, and pot might do just the trick.

For the rest of us it's a real good idea to stop once you're expected to be anything like an adult. The worst thing about heavy pot use is it makes you incapable of noticing how you've become an utterly disfunctional human being.

as long as you don't inject it :)

I used to smoke pot as well as a variety of other drugs when I was in my early 20s.

I've experienced two forms of 'altered time' while stoned.
The first is slowdown of time- where it feels like each second seems like it takes an eternity to pass. I did not enjoy this feeling at all, and it was always accompanied by weird breathing, and my heart feeling like it was beating out of my chest. I experienced it the most when I was trying to sleep after getting stoned.
The second is 'choppy time'- where it feels like everything is moving in segments. The best way I could descibe it-- it's like looking at people walking around in a strobelight where everything is divided into single frames. I encountered this feeling whenever I would smoke excessively large amounts of pot (IE- my crazy friends at the time rolling gigantic spliffs using close to entire quarter bags).

footnote- I kinda miss getting high. I haven't taken it or any other drug for that matter in a long time. If it were legalized however, I would certainly indulge. I wouldn't smoke it because I go jogging every other day, and smoking is unhealthy...... but I would certainly eat it. I used to have one friend that knew how to make some really nice brownies. If I remember correctly, he was telling me that the secret to doing it successsfully is to saute the herb in butter first because just mixing it in with the batter tends to make people sick.

I thought my brain was damaged!

I hate to tell you this, but....

Is that legal where you live...?
It's not illegal! :D

I thought that was Russia... :D

I made tea from it, and while it was in the stove, I picked up a funnel and breathed it in. Yeah, maybe "inhaled" is not the best term...:D

I've done that with nutmeg too... I didn't drink it though...

I say cut her out of your life right now.
I rarely do it anyways...

Perhaps he means he smoked it?
Smoking it does nothing to me...

Thats exactly what I had! :D

I'm glad my brain is not damaged! :D

I will remember that... :D

Parent's shouldn't smoke pot when they have a child to care for.

you could mix it with butter and spread it on toast.. and yeah someone above pointed out the dangers of ingesting it through your mouth.. couldnt be truer.

ive been high 4 or 5 times, first time was fun..... but i fel lasleep :(

Thats exactly what I had! :D

I'm glad my brain is not damaged! :D

I will remember that... :D

About the butter thing: my trick is to mix 1 oz. of weed with 1 lb. of real butter. You let it in slow-cooking for 24 hours.

This will give you a special butter to cook with (you can cook about anything with it), and beware, this is strong stuff... I have decided this is the best way to cook it because the THC doesn´t get wasted, it disolves in the butter.

The funny thing about comments like these...

smoking pot does do lots to you. In fact, it does the exact same thing to everyone. It's just a matter of whether or not you are aware enough to notice what it has done to you. For some people - many, I think - they need to get into that state a few times before they actually notice the difference. That's why people often, mistakinly, say "I didn't get high the first three times I smoked". Yes you did. You just couldn't tell.

It's the same with acid. I don't know how many people I've seen on acid for their first time who consistently insist "I'm not feeling a thing" while they're dancing in bizarre tribal movements, confusing sounds with sensations and entirely incapable of wielding simple forks and spoons. They're just too darn unaware of their own mental state to be able to tell when it's altered.

But acid, like pot, does the exact same goddamn thing to every single person on earth*. Whether ya' like it or not.


* I should note there are some exceptions to this. Some people have oddly wired cannabanoid receptors and so do experience something different. These cases, in research, are few and far between.

I'm extremely tolerant to pot. So yesterday, I inhaled it, drank it in a tea and ate it. I was disappointed when nothing happened for a few hours, so I went to bed. By the time I woke up, 10 hours after eating pot, I was finally stoned!!! :p

It was weird when I woke up. I tripped out when I started feeling what my brain was doing. I was also connecting things that I don't usually connect. My senses were heightened. And my eyes were doing weird stuff! I didn't realize I was baked, so I thought my brain was damaged! :D

The weird eye thing was paticularly intriguing. They were moving back and forth and everything was blurry. It felt like I was travellling through some sort of substance, like water. I felt like time was passing faster. While this was happening, I could feel heat in a particular part of my brain. It was about on the front of my skull, but a little bit more inside....

So I wonder if anyone else has experienced the eye thing, and particularly the awareness of which part of the brain you are using at the time!


Anyways... pot is fun. I wanna do it again!

:m:

According to Howard Becker, that just means you finally learned the technique.

i miss weed, i stopped smoking it for stamina reasons. every couple of months i will have a blunt though. just stick an 8th in and thats it.

i found that i dont enjoy taiji training as much anymore though, it always seemed much better when i was buzzin. it also made me lazy in some senses, not that i didnt want to train or do active things. instead it made me more of a slob, i didnt like to clean up the place and sometimes couldent even be bothered to shower for 2-3 days. i would still happily go to the gym and do martial arts. but the thought of washing the dishes or cleaning up the house just seemed like bullshit.

i think weed is ok now and again, just like booze. but if you take it nearly everyday or allday long everyday it just makes you bummish lol. but all bad things aside, it sure is nice to roll up a blunt listen to some hip hop and chill with your boys.

or having a single J or blunt after a hard days work in the evening or night, thats always nice. damn i want some weed now.




peace.

Smoking it does nothing to me...

The best way, for me anyways, to get stoned while smoking is to immediately try and remember something and focus on it, go ahead and fantasize about whatever, but think hard about it, then you'll really feel it kick into your brain. Otherwise if I don't try and get my brain active, it won't do much for me either.

You were suffering from nystagmus. That means your eyes were moving back and forth beyond your control. It's a sign of a toxicity. Mild overdose. Not good.
The desired effects from smoking or ingesting marijuana are primarily neurologic in nature. These include euphoria, relaxation, increased sensory awareness and altered space and time perception. However, many other effects of marijuana are not desired. These include
decreased short-term memory and coordination, sinus tachycardia, pulmonary mucosal irritation, dry mouth, conjunctival injection and increased appetite.

At high concentrations the effects are more profound. There is a significant decrease in motor coordination and strength. Slurred speech, ataxia, nystagmus, sedation and lethargy are usually evident. Panic reactions often develop at high doses also.

Chronic use of marijuana is associated with significant health risks. Chronic smokers are at risk for both obstructive and restrictive lung disease and are at increased risk for lung carcinoma. Chronic users tend to have decreased REM sleep and may suffer from blackouts. Memory and attention deficits may also accompany long-term use. http://uuhsc.utah.edu/poison/healthpros/utox/Vol4_No2.pdf

... I should note there are some exceptions to this. Some people have oddly wired cannabanoid receptors and so do experience something different. These cases, in research, are few and far between.

If in the later case you're referring to people who experience psychosis as a result, there is actually a fair amount of research (and a pretty good meta-analysis of it in the latest issue of the Lancet).

While it is true that it does the same thing to everyone, as with any drug outcome expectancies are going to play a role in how those effects are interpreted (e.g., as pleasurable or not). How one experiences a drug or reacts to it, especially one that is relatively subtle, is definitely learned behavior.

Yes, like I said, it is something that takes an awareness of your mental condition. Because marijuana is often the first drug people try outside of alcohol, they are completely unaware of what it means for their brain to be under those conditions. So they think nothing is happening because they quite simply cannot detect what is happening. This doesn't happen with large quantities of alcohol because booze is a much less subtle 'high'. However, if you've ever seen a 13 or 14 year old try their first two to three drinks, they'll most often say they 'feel nothing', but then watch them walk, or listen to their speech and you - who know the signs of alcohol intoxication - can easily tell they've been drinking.

But this whole "smoking doesn't work for me" or "acid doesn't affect me" thing is bullshit. It's just people who aren't very in touch with their mental state being unaware of what's happening to them.

I love time dilation.
