Question about pot

[Blabj]

Hence the term mind altering drug, then?

[Lordwafik]

So much advice, thank you guys. And Chillin, I'm 20 (almost 21), I just made the choice in high school and the first couple years in college not to do any of this shit, so now I'm curious and experimenting. I guess the other choice is to act like a poser about it and be like "nigga plz i smoke joints all tha tiem but dis one high wuz like RUN NIGGA RUN iz dat normul?" If I'm ever not drunk and in the mood for a blunt I'll have to try it on its own, sounds like a much different experience than alcohol + weed.

I'm like this too, the other day I read about shrooms and how hallucinogenic they are , and now I want to see it for my self! The stories my friends had when I asked them about it are insane (mostly about objects morphing, colours changing, etc)

I wouldn't try any substance that has addiction potential in it though.To me it's more of a fascination on how much these things can affect peoples current mental states than a "omg i am so kewl from lyk doin dees drugs lyk".

Alcohol is more additive, everything is relative.

There has been some pretty good advice so far. The effects will vary slightly and your reaction can vary as well depending on personal preference.

It took me 3 uses to feel the effects for the first time, and I was not under the influence of any other substance. Some people get high the first time, but I think that is the minority (not as in 'minorities').

I am partial to bowl smoking, but eating weed can be pretty awesome. If you take a hit a minute later you can gauge how much it is affecting you. Some people can bug out pretty hard their first time eating brownies (or any pot-food item) mainly due to the fact that you have less control because the effects are not instant (I would say it can take 15 min or more to really kick-in). This can lead to people over (dosing) eating and not being able to handle a crazy high (I have a great story about a zoo trip, maybe I'll tell you sometime). I would stick with smoking until you get a feel for how you react.

If you will be eating here are some tips: you saute the weed (broken up finely) in the butter on a -LOW FLAME- for up to about 10-20 min depending. Strain the stemy, chunky parts and use the weed-butter as you would any normal butter, for any dish.

I would also avoid getting super drunk and smoking, b/c it can completely over shadow the high. I like to have 2 or 3 drinks max when smoking, unless I am going balls-to-the-wall.

Enjoy!

You'd love LSD, much more fun than mushrooms, and not physically addictive. Habit forming though, like every other drug.

Oh and weed tea is fucking awesome, make it in a pan, 2/3 water, 1/3 milk, 1 teabag per person + 1 for the pot, add sugar to taste, and boil it up with a few joints worth in there.

Half of the effects of weed you were/are experiencing is only in your mind.

100% True.

You gotta train your mind. When you start not enjoying it, and you will in the beginning because your mind isnt used to what it's feeling, you should just put on some chill music and LET yourself feel what it's feeling.

Good ways to actually ENJOY your high, not freak out or spin. Train your mind to embrace it, not fight it.

Start saying in your own head stuff like "This feels good, it's supposed to feel different. This is relaxing." - have that mentality and dont FOCUS on the strange feelings like a bad thing. Comedy movies and anything that'll make you laugh are a good way to forget and enjoy the high. Oh, and eating. I dont know about anyone else, but when I'm high I crave EVERYTHING. Go to a 711 or grocery store high, seriously. You want to eat everything.


When you have your first laugh-fit from weed, you'll love it. When you laugh hysterically over the absolute dumbest shit. And you can't stop laughing. Again, comedy movies work wonders.

Dude, whatever you do, when eating the brownies...

Don't eat one, wait 90 minutes, decide "man, this shit isn't working" and eat another.

I did that the first time I had brownies - at a friend's house 2 blocks from my apartment. By the time I left I couldn't find my way home. I was high the whole next day.

I mean, it was awesome, but nobody needs to be that high. Just give the brownies time to kick in - lots of time, watch a movie or something.

Am I the only person on the planet that has never tried pot?

Not that I see anything wrong with it, just get tested alot for the army and never felt a need to before that.

[Celebrindor]

don't mess up good pot with alcohol. Easy as that. I've smoked on and off for several years and still don't like to mix. For me, just makes me feel exceedingly drunk, and I don't get to enjoy the high at all.

[Mr. Flippy]

im no pro but i have smoked my fair share back in high school. my buddies all used to tell me " you cant mix weed and alcohol you dumbass" but i did it all the time. im a bigger guy so i have a high tolerence for alcohol but when it comes to weed, after a 1 joint and im blazed as fuck. i guess it depends on your tolerence levels too. but i never puked when i mixed the two. well there was one time but thats because my dumbass downed 2 liters of jaegermiester and smoked about an 1/8 of weed. so i guess just dont push your limits

Though Shue recommended LSD, I'll toss in some basic recommendations in case you do decide on shrooms.

For starters, most people chase it with something that has a strong, distinct taste, and one of the most popular beverages I've seen is orange juice. Shrooms themselves are disgusting, so this isn't a bad idea. However, if OJ makes your stomach upset (due to the acidity), I'd suggest pineapple juice as a gentler alternative. This may also help you stay relaxed while high.

Secondly, if you're going to be listening to music or watching television, try to avoid anything too fast-paced, gory, and so on, so forth. Some people can get away with these things just fine, but any powerful, frightening, or negative stimulus may overload you while on shrooms, and give you a very bad -- and potentially unforgettable -- trip.

The best thing to do is to take it with friends, or at least someone to supervise you, in a closed-off area (e.g., your house and you won't be having any guests, your bedroom where you can listen to music and possibly watch something, and so on). Doing it in a forest or something -- as one of my boneheaded friends did once, and the end results traumatized him from ever doing shrooms again -- may sound cool, but you might as well stick to a controlled environment.

And if you want to watch something trippy, even though it does have some violence, I recommend the anime movie "Paprika," or other animated movies you're already familiar with, like Disney flicks. Definitely an entirely different experience while you're high.

EDIT: Opener to "Paprika," in case you're unfamiliar with it.

hmmm i never chased my shrooms with anything, i just popped em in my mouth, chewed a bit, held them in my mouth then swallowed.

things with hallucinogens are that you ought to be in the right mindset before, and be in the right environment as well. can't let other people bring you down either, so mind who you're with

You gotta admit, though, that they taste pretty damn nasty.

[Penthesilea]

it's been awhile, can't really recall the taste. they didn't taste strongly in one direction, just kind of weird.

whatever you do, make sure you don't have any relatives get hospitalized while you're tripping and have to go visit them...

[Devek]

Nothing like giggling uncontrollably at Thanksgiving dinner.

(p.s. haven't done any drugs including alcohol in 10 years)

[Chelly]

damn the first time I tried it I didn't get high, but the second time was from a bong and remember being so paranoid for hours

felt like I was going to black out too, I think I smoked like 4-5 bowls

[Saga]

Just wondering if I could get a bit more info on how to go about the brownies. Sounds like a) eat a lot beforehand, b) little/no alcohol, c) few bites, see how I feel in a couple hours. I doubt I'm going to eat a full brownie, and definitely not more than one. Going to take it easy after last night. That sound about right?

[chillin]

so you are in middle school. cool, so am i.

[Saga]

alright, I'll just be a poser like you and use Day's avatar to look cooler
