Marijuana: Chester the Brain Molester

[Sqwunk]

I haven't smoked in 6 days. Not gonna lie it's been the longest 6 days (and my insomnia has returned, shocker!). Trying to switch to a different job and the place I want to get into piss tests, and I've smoked every day for the past 7 months. Luckily they said they probably wouldn't need me until may so that gives me a really good amount of time to clear my system out. They do random piss tests too but I'm told it's only at the end of the month and they randomly pick employee numbers, so I'm hopefully going to go back to smoking after I get hired and only smoke on the weekends.

If I get caught and they fire me it will suck but w/e it's only seasonal work, going back to college this fall and living on campus, so I'll be back to smoking full time if I can afford it when I'm there.



I feel awkward saying this kinda, but man I really miss smoking some herb.

I wonder if anyone else here, especially older & well-seasoned MJ smokers, has experienced this yet - I started smoking regularly again last year (after a 3 year break) and I rarely stay high for more than an hour or so, and sometimes I don't get stoned AT ALL. I'm not sure if it's because I'm getting older and it just doesn't affect me the same way or not..

It might also be I'm buying decent dried-out mids instead of the most ridiculous dank I can find, but I've been buying from two sources - one local and another two states away - so it can't possibly be the same strain or batch.

I'm net necessarily a "seasoned" MJ smoker in the fact that I've only been smoking for about 2 years now. But I am quite seasoned in the aspect of tolerance levels and going long periods of time without smoking. I generally smoke every day during the summer and almost exclusively on weekends during the school year, with small exceptions here and there of course. Many times during school I go for 2-3 weeks without smoking, which is easily enough to basically completely reset my tolerance. What I've found is that if you come off a break you generally get pretty stoned pretty easily for the first few days, but after a few days of constant smoking, you'll eventually need more and more to get you high or keep you high. Especially if you're only smoking decent mids like you said.

For example, last week was my spring break. Before my spring break started I had only smoked twice in the 2 weeks before it, so my tolerance wasn't very high. I bought an eighth of pineapple-mango kush.(side note: probably the best stuff I've ever gotten my hands on, and I've had purple diesel, OG kush, and alaskan thunder fuck before) I smoked pretty regularly over the first weekend of break and into Monday/Tuesday of break and ran out of it on Tuesday or Wednesday I believe. It definitely got me super stoned over that weekend, but I noticed on Tuesday that it still got me pretty high, but it didn't last quite as long. After I ran out I got myself an eighth of mids (decent to good mids at that) and it took a ~1.2-1.4g blunt between me and 1 other person to get me stoned and to keep me there as long.

Then later in the week after all this, I was smoking with some friends who only ever get mids pretty much. We smoked 1-2 bong bowls out of his bong between 2-3 people each time, and while all of them got blitzed, it only got me kinda high and it was gone within an hour, which sounds similar to your problem. So basically my advice to you is to pay attention to how much you're smoking. And what you're smoking. Try and find some dankness once in a while if you can. But don't over do it, or your tolerance will skyrocket. It's basically a game of tug-o-war with your tolerance level lol. I don't know how much you smoke exactly, but maybe some days take a break or something. Or only smoke 1 bowl or a few hits or something. Just anything to pull back your tolerance level. Then after a day or 2 of that, go all out. You'll be stoned all day if you want to be lol

Hope this helps a bit ^^

I have a steady source of Strawberry Cough if I want it, it's a curse and a blessing at the same time because of this haha. I never took breaks though so it really just fucked me over cause mids would get me stoned but it would not last long at all.

I can kinda relate, though I've been without for much longer. Usually takes me a few hours to get to sleep (which really sucks when you have to wake up at 5-6 am), but when I'm stoned it usually takes no more than 5-10 minutes. It gets easier to deal with the sleeping thing, but nothing beats being able to fall asleep that quickly, I feel you on that.

I can only suggest you pace yourself, and even if you have the opportunity to smoke and get high the whole day to not do it.

On that note, anyone in the UK (around Manchester/Preston) got a reliable hook-up? All my contacts are in London and I can't go back and forth that often to pick up, so it's been a dry month to say the least.

[Sqwunk]

Thanks, I doubt the sleeping will get easier cause I had this problem before, one of the reasons I started smoking was because it helped me fall asleep (and I also have to wake up at 5am.)

I'm aware that I shouldn't smoke all day the first chance I get haha, man I'd be fucked if I did that. =P

This article is fucking hilarious and somewhat relevant to this thread: http://www.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/cele...ex.html?hpt=C2

Willie Nelson's latest pot bust could be settled for a song and $100, a west Texas prosecutor said.

"You can bet your ass I'm not going to be mean to Willie Nelson," Hudspeth County Attorney C.R. "Kit" Bramblett told CNN Monday, confirming his plea recommendation. No court date is set, but Bramblett said he would recommend a plea deal for Nelson that includes the legendary country artist singing his 1975 hit "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain." The courtroom performance would serve as his community service, he said.

He would also ask for Nelson to pay a $100 fine and court cost, he said. The sentenced could also be deferred, which means it would fall off his criminal record after 30 days of good behavior, he said.

Bramblett joked that while Nelson was initially charged with possession of six ounces of pot, which would put the case out of his jurisdiction, he and the sheriff smoked or threw out enough to bring it into his jurisdiction.

Texas does something right!

That sucks they won't let him do the song lol, Judge sounds like a bitch

She needs to chill out, man.

Going to Hashbash in Ann Arbor, the city of legal weed. Will provide pictures perhaps. Anyone in the Michigan area going?

Smoked a bunch of times now, with different people, different stuff, different ways, doing different things.

Verdict: I don't get it. It's not enjoyable. I don't get euphoric senses. I don't feel like a genius with awesome ideas. Movies are only SLIGHTLY more interesting (I might be exaggerating here). I don't giggle more. Music sounds the same. The things that annoyed me before I smoked still annoy me when I'm "high." I don't have a better time. Either I'm defective, or people are way over-hyping this shit and putting more effort into being high than the drug does for itself. I really, honestly, don't get it.

It affects people differently. Maybe you are broked.

^this for sure. It's definitely not overhyped if it's working properly. It's fucking great, so much better than drinking in my opinion.

Sometimes, I find changing up the method helps out the madness. If all you do is roll spliffs, get a good water pipe, or try vaporizing.

Simple Recipe for a Gas Mask:
Take your leftover McDonalds drink cup, make small holes in the side with a pen, and plug them with filtered J's. I ran 4 once in a medium - it's like chewing smoke its so dense.

May also have been the bud. Good shit always ruins me, even if my tol is up.

I guess smoking with different people, you're "doing it properly" n shit, so that's not it.

I'm not sure, perhaps you need more? Maybe a mindset thing? Do you at least get a beastly appetite? 'Cause that's generally a good indicator.

At the start, it's like reverting to a 12 year old - laughing at stupid shit, learning new things you already knew, easily entertained. After a while, it becomes more of a calming euphoria rather than a magical mystery tour.

So a couple weeks ago I had to go bail my brother out of the drunk tank after he was hauled in for disorderly (the nice policemen even had the decency to steal the leftover cash out of his wallet, after they hauled him in for breaking up a fight, then let me sit in the lobby for over an hour at 11PM on a Saturday night... since they never even called down to the drunk tank to bring him up and forgot I was there).

Turns out his friends have been baking brownies with pot butter, and I got three as a thank you.

I thought my brother was trying to insult me when he recommended eating no more than half a brownie in a sitting (and these are not large brownies, maybe 1"x2" each, so 1/2 is about 1 bite).

I didn't see what all the fuss was, but apparently the last person who decided to down a whole one started hallucinating. All the same, it's not like I was going to be getting any more, so I did back off to halves to make the two I had left last longer.

Aside from the whole 90 mins to kick in part, I think I've found my new favorite method for consuming THC (not that it really matters... house, wife, etc. leaves Chester pretty low on the list).

This friend of mine has been on a weed baking spree. So far she's made chocolate pumpkin bread, fudge (with no nuts! I hate nuts in fudge.) and rice krispy treats. She's been talking about making some weed infused Zotz suckers for a couple weeks, but they have yet to come to fruition.

[Crowort]

There are good reasons not to eat too much. Firstly since the effect takes so long to happen you don't have the basically instant feedback on effect that you do with inhaling, so you can't know when you have had enough. I don't know the how but ingesting it also tends to see 'hit' you harder. It is a good idea too have loads of nice non weed baked produces about too. You don't want to get hungry and want to eat more most times. I've seen big batches pretty much wasted because people just keep eating but didn't need the effect.

[Dylon]

the reason the high is so effective from edibles is because its a higher concentration of THC because of the way the butter is extracted, so instead of getting 20% THC from smoking you get about 40% or more depending on how well the butter was extracted.

Theres a new edible going around called Cheeba Chews and it won first place edible at the Denver cannibus cub this past weekend, and those are seriously amazing, its the size of tootsie rool but its conentrated hash and the THC concentration in those are like 70% and have about 5 grams worth of hash in each one so you only need like half of one and its like 10 bucks, which is cheap as fuck for the THC ratio in the thing.

I think you might just be in the wrong mindset, you keep thinking "Aw I'm not going to get high this isn't working" and you're psyching yourself out pretty much. I've done it taking X before I've literally psyched myself out of a high. Either that or yeah, you're pretty much immune to the effects of THC which is a huge bummer lol.

No insult :D, I had a friend tell me the same thing when he gave me some THC fudge, didn't heed his warning and ended up petrified in a chair tripping out for 2hrs~ lol.

[Zoolander]

Is it wrong that I have a morbid curiosity about getting that stoned? Definitely never had any experience like that...even if its unpleasant I kinda want to try lol
