"Greening Out" from smoking weed?

I don't know, man.

But did you know your eyes always look a little crossed?

Hee hee hee hee.

I’m listening to SLADE ALIVE and smoking a joint at this very moment, what’s the fuss? Next up, a little KISS and Sabbath. Pizza is on the way.

Never heard of it, OP, but I'm wicked old. *puff* *puff*

This generation has no idea what it’s like when it’s now or never at the Baymont Inn and Suites. Scored some primo stuff, but had to roll some heads. Can any of these sumbitches roll their own joints?

Weed has a lot more THC in it today. It's far more potent than in the past.

The weed is today is much stronger than in years past. High levels of THC in the brain repeatedly day after day does not bode well.

Why are these people smoking it so much then? Don't need to do it all day everyday.

"pulling a whitey" has been a thing for years.

They basically freebase it when smoking shatter

What R5 said, plus edibles take a long time to kick in. A lot of people take one or two edibles, and then after 25 minutes when they aren't feeling anything, they take two or three or four more when they should have stuck with just one or two and waited 45-60 minutes for that ONE to kick in. Twenty minutes after taking all the extra edibles, the first one finally kicks in, followed soon after by the rest, and then the person starts tripping balls.

The strongest weed I have ever smoked in my life was some Maui Wowee, this was probably almost 50 years ago. It made me throw up it was so strong. I've smoked lots of good pot in the years since. I smoke good pot now, but nothing like that Hawaiian years ago.

I have a prescription-- I usually only take my dose at night (25mg), but sometimes on the weekend I will have a 5mg every few hours. My sleep has improved tremendously. I don't wake up in an existential crisis five nights a week anymore. I don't think that's good for one's brain or overall health, either. I must have been chronically sleep deprived, because my mood is much better the following day.

Still, I've been going at this rate for about 8 months now, and it is very expensive, and I will admit that my working memory is not what it should be. I would like to dial it back at night, and maybe not have to use it every night. That night demon/anxiety is something else, though.

I probably wouldn't consider millennials to be marijuana lightweights.

I take 5 mg two hours before bed as an edible of indica in a gummy. I sleep like a baby now (score a 80-100) on my auto sleep app.

My coworker's 20-year-old daughter has been hospitalized twice for cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome in the past couple of years. She was throwing up for ten days straight.

I never heard of any single person in my peer group ever throwing up after getting high, not even once, ever, in the 80s/90s. And I'm talking wake and bakers.

What's that all about?

R15, I've had a lot of older pothead friends tell me it's because weed nowadays is that much stronger.

"Cannabis is involved in roughly 50% of psychosis, schizophreniform psychosis, and schizophrenia cases. Likewise, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse Cannabis Research Report, individuals smoking high potency marijuana daily may be five times more likely to develop psychosis than their non-smoking counterparts."

Whoa.

When I go to the dispensary there are always cute young healthy looking guys there. Can’t say the same for the liquor stores.

Weed is so much more potent now than in was in the 90s, 80s or worse the 70's. The fact that cultivation is so rampant has cause a market saturated with strong weed.

R11 You're chasing a high you will never achieve again with weed. I have never been as high as I was my first time.

Gee, I wonder if weed is much stronger today than in the 70s and 80s. I wish someone could tell us! :D

But seriously, why do they make it so strong? I was never much of a pot smoker, but you see people in movies, both old and new, smoking a joint like it's a cigarette. Shouldn't you really be taking just a couple of hits and then putting it away?

Some people, including me, just can't handle marijuana. I smoked it in my teens and 20s.

For me, the effects were a crap shoot. The most enjoyable highs involved munchies and food. The worst "highs" involved extreme paranoia. Even the good highs had an element of paranoia.

I consider some MJ almost a hallucinogenic. As teens, I smoked some backyard-grown weed with my neighbors and we all remember that it was a semi-hallucinogenic experience.

My self care during lockdown was spinning records and smoking weed. I still procured it thru channels not legal. The dispensary stuff make me feel like I’m at AutoZone trying to buy an air filter. “You should try the vanilla gorilla wedding cake.” Just get me high, bitch.

We’re you in the DL Magic Mushroom Club, R23?

That was one of the silver linings of Covid time.

R15, I’m R12, a moderately heavy user. I have never gotten sick, but my husband, who very rarely uses has gotten sick twice— once at a party where he passed out afterward (I had never heard of such a thing), and another time at home.

The last time, he took a whole 10mg when he was supposed to have only taken half. Every was fine, he was lying in bed with his headphones watching a show on his phone, when he suddenly sprung up and sprinted across the house— but he was about four feet short of the bathroom door when he vomited with a great deal of force.

It seems to be a never-user or rarely-user phenomenon, something that happens to people with little to no tolerance. I know the dispensary has a FAQ that mentions this as a potential side effect to some who overdo it.

Many underground dispensaries in CA have moved onto offering shrooms products (i.e. the future).

10mg made him throw up? I would never look at him the same again.

I recently started edibles to help me sleep. I used to smoke when I was a teen but it made me paranoid or "dumb" and sleepy. I quit around 20.

I'm now 59 and the first edible I took said take one. It didn't help me sleep. I was edgy and almost hallucinating. I've since cut it down to a quarter and sleep well. I can totally see how this stuff can be bad.

In the 80's you'd get plenty of nasty comments for smoking weed at a concert. There was a period when it was definitely out of fashion and associated with dullwitted hippies.

Also, frankly, it does dull the senses and the fools I know who haven't quit act like zombies.

Eat half a 1000mg brownie and get back to me....

R30, I already did, Tommy!

Not sure how my tolerance is so high (I've been mostly doing edibles for the past 6 years. Prior to that I smoked maaaaaayybe 5 times in my entire life. Oh, and I'm 45 and look 45). I can take 300-500mg at a time without being all wonky. I started to help me quit drinking but I'm spending way more money on it than booze for less of an effect.

do psychedelics feel real different from an MJ high?

[QUOTE] I never heard of any single person in my peer group ever throwing up after getting high, not even once, ever, in the 80s/90s. And I'm talking wake and bakers.

I never heard of it either back then R15 and there was strong stuff available at that time, and people who smoked all day. I do remember one person freaking out and screaming "what planet am I on" but she was a brand new user. And I don't think she threw up.

You might throw up if you mix weed, alcohol and then pig out on something disgusting like an anchovy pizza.

hyperemesis = the millenial version of fibromyalgia. Soon it will be a protected class, used to get out of doing work and obtain other perks.

[QUOTE] do psychedelics feel real different from an MJ high?'

Very different. More energetic, much stronger effects.

I love the feeling weed gives me in the moment but hate the groggy weed hangover the next day. Even with two strong cups of coffee in the morning I still feel so lethargic

R26 Mushrooms and psilocybin is legal in my county in CA... legal in the whole state of Oregon. Psychedelics, especially as a form of therapy, will be used more and more as we move into a world of more mental illness, more digital-derived isolation and depression. Psychedelics, used properly, not just to dance to stupid IDM or seek a machine-elves escape from what you can't escape... it's absolutely a good thing. And there will be collateral damage - as we try to respond to angry tribalism, hollowed-out souls, and life on a dying planet.

It isn't just that weed is stronger - it's carefully grown now for different effects (indica to plant you in the sofa for 12 hours), form ("hash", moon rocks, dabs, tincture), and method of ingestion (through the liver, not the lungs). It can, and is, abused - too much, too soon (too high, too fast.... I saw the whole of the moon) - and is much, much less of a problem than alcohol, which hurts the internal organs.

As a man over 70, I no longer have the right to all these psychic toys: but I do CBD full spectrum with enough THC to spark the good stuff, and it helps me sleep, keeps my joints and muscles less inflamed, diffuse old-fart anxiety: plant-based relief. A gift from the gods to make human life more meaningful and help the body be more comfortable.

Plant based relief. Is that what Fiber Queens are calling it?

plant based? Plant-based - adjectival. Oh dear!

You can use magic mushrooms as a colonic. You just need to liquefy them and get a turkey baster.

EVERYTHING is a three act drama for millennials.

.... R43 Whereas Boomers refuse to believe the first act is over. Gen X didn't go to the theater. Gen Z understands no play will ever start for them.

R20, I'm not chasing anything. It wasn't my first time when I smoked that Hawaiian and threw up. It was simply a strange and strong reaction to some really good weed. I've never thrown up from smoking since then.

R20

You claim that MJ toking , after that first high , is nothing but chasing that first high , trying to get as high again as that first time without success

Now that is pretty darn funny. And here I thought I had heard it all.

I’ve been hearing, “The weed is so much stronger these days” since 1987. Thank goodness it has gotten stronger and more reliable.

Just like alcoholics and booze, there are people who should not toke. Weed works much differently for our folks dealing with schizophrenia and/or other mood disorders. That post-use boomerang of anxiety seems to hit them faster and then come back for more.

r46 That's 12-step theory. But I've never heard it applied to weed. Weed highs are pseudo-intellectual and every one is different.

[QUOTE] I’ve been hearing, “The weed is so much stronger these days” since 1987. Thank goodness it has gotten stronger and more reliable.

Right?

I don't have a gigantic tolerance myself. When I have some high potency flower I just take one bong hit and wait at least half an hour before taking another one. No issues with being too high and you're also smoking less since you need less. It's just not a problem.

R46 & R48: R20 learned all they needed to know about marijuana cigarettes from DARE and After School Specials!

R20, you’re mixing up weed with heroin, you ding-dong.
