Why get stoned?

[sno capz]

I was comparing weed to alcohol as an analogy of the strength (alcohol proof vs THC level in weed). I'm not sure what you mean by weed being a controllable feeling though. The only control I've found is the same I have with alcohol, by cutting myself off once I've had enough. Once I've gone overboard I have just had to ride it out (which has only happened twice).

My girlfriend typically uses a dab rig, but I do know someone with a pen. She tends to think that a dab rig is the only way to go when doing dabs though. The next time the opportunity presents itself I'll try it. I had thought that even one hit would put me farther than I wanted to go. My girlfriend has been smoking daily for years, and typically smokes two bowls for my four hits so I know her tolerance is much higher than mine. I had assumed that this was why should could handle dabs.

Just don't go big For your first rig.... Haha see what I did there!

Just start small... About the size of the head of a pin..

Do you know what strain the wax is from by any chance?

I can dab like a bastard I ain't going to sleep and I'll work like a bastard after. You and your girl are just lightweights.

You can shoot dope all day till your sucking your own dick I'm not going to question your motives. Why can't we just get high? We need to explain it? Is it not obvious we just like weed?

I'm a lightweight; she is definitely not. You do not need to explain why you like weed, but at least for me understanding is the first step in growing as a person, so it would help me if you could explain it.

Am I the only person that makes a distinction between getting high and getting stoned?

Let her go bro. Don't hold her back in what she wants to do in life. I hope you've never told her any of this. Let this nice women go and you might be able to find another woman. And she most deffinetly will be able to find another man.

I'm seeking to understand so that I do not hold her back. She's amazing and can have anyone she wants, and I don't want this to be a barrier in our relationship.

LOL. Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I do not know the strain, but I can ask her later.

No difference your high/stoned or buzzed I guess edibles would make stoneder though them things hit me hard as fuck I eat too much. I love it hate the taste but I just made some pills.

I think you should eat some shrooms at least an eighth dry you need to live.

Okay, so maybe I'm just getting buzzed then and am not really getting high. Hard to really know without some degree of context.

I skimmed most of the post, as far as getting too high to function, some people like the stress release it gives, I like incapacitating myself at the end of a shitty day, although I don't see the point of doing it at a party if you can't handle it. Like any other drug everyone has different limits. You need to find a level that's right for you, I've seen many people turned off by it just because they were given a huge bong rip or a big dab their first time..thinking it will be funny to wreck someone. If i know someone is not a heavy smoker, or only tokes once in awhile, I'll let em know what I'm smoking is probably stronger than what they are used too. It's also about tolerance, I used to be a " one hit wonder" for years, until i started smoking every day..then every day, all day. Initially I didn't like being stoned out of my mind, like you said, I felt like i was too high to function, but I liked just getting high. First time I did dabs was like the first time i got high...now I'm at the point of 2-3 dabs, or one big booger, to get me where i want, and that's still a functioning level. It's funny people talk about lightweights like it's a bad thing.. I wish i could get back to a couple hits getting me stoned..the $$$ I'd save!

Well said.... But the type of strain that the wax is from will make a huge difference in the overall outcome of the high. Sativas more uplifting, indica is more narcotic like... Not always but for the most part. If you are going to try dabs know what your dabbing instead of dabbing some garbage with unfiltered butane that will just ruin the experience for you

That is not true for every one.
First, I smoke all day long. Cannabis can not really incapacitate me unless I do 27 dabs or drink a 1000 milligram soda. Cannabis actually allows me to focus better sometimes. A friend of mine has ADD and uses cannabis to focus better.

Many sativas make me tired and in need of a nap. Super Lemon Haze makes me really high for 15 minutes, then hungry then tired an hour later, then a nap. I can smoke twice as much Blueberry in the morning and have to think if I had smoked earlier.

This whole sativas are uplifting and indicas are sedative has never sat well with me.
Cindy 99 feels like an indica to me and Thai Lights feels a bit sativaish to me.

Ingrid, almost pure indica is such a clean high for me, not tired or sedate at all. Chem Dawg and some good diesels are more sedative to me than many indicas.

Not all dabs are as safe as someone mentioned earlier. If not made properly the oil can have bad crap in it. If you are using cheap dab rigs you might be inhaling very dangerous chemicals.

Okay, my girlfriend didn't smoke to the point of unconsciousness at the party. My problem there was that all she wanted to do was smoke dabs. We were in a 2500 sq foot suite with a hot tub in the middle of the suite, but she stayed in the bathroom and did dabs. Typically when we smoke, we smoke and then do something, but that is not the case when she does dabs.

 

[Trousers]

The problem is your gf, not dabs.

 

[whitebb2727]

I get the distinction. I get buzzed during the day but get properly stoned at night. You need to lighten up. You are apprehensive. When if first started smoking as a teenager there where a lot of good Sativa's coming out of mexico. You haven't been stoned til you see visuals and tracers.

Oh and if you smoke and get paranoid just smoke more. I know that sounds weird but sometimes you got to fight fire with fire.

I did not say all indicas and sativas are that way... I said for the most part. Meaning a lot of the times but not all of the time. And I said nothing in that comment about being incapacitated

LOL, I definitely have not been stoned then, unless you count everything seeming to move in slow motion.

Well that's stoned to. Just live and let live. Come on man live a little. I have woke up the next morning at parties with dicks drawn on my face.

I have even woke up in different states the next morning. I don't anymore I got three kids. Live while you have the chance.

It bothers me when I hear "sativas are more uplifting and indicas are more sedative"
It is a terrible generalization and I have found it to be very inaccurate.

Yea its more on when a plant is cut. I find sativas tend to be more trippy or paranoia inducing but not always.

 

[farmasensist]

To me, stoned implies a lazy couch lock typical indica feeling while high is more of a energetic head high with the trippy paranoid thing going on. I tried growing some c99 and some haze to get that up high but it didnt really work out, i thought it was because i'm naturally lazy but i might have let it go too long. I have some sweet tooth and thai lights seeds ill try chopping them earlier this time.

I disagree with that too. I'm the worst.

Get Stoned? Why not is the question? Everything is better. Words and letters have different meanings. You are in a different world for a while yet you are not. High I can't think. Stoned I can think and function and feel a lot smarter. I don't get munchies after being stoned. Thats a great reason.
