Tolerance is the biggest issue when cannabis or any thing else.
The same bud that gave you dry eyes and mouth and had you running around like a chicken with its head cut off, can make the next man say meh when the substance is incapable of reaching the accustomed level of tolerance.
Once tolerance of any substance is met, the body will initiate a series of stress response.
Dry mouth, runny nose, itchy eyes sound more like succumbing to smoke inhalation than getting high. As the the brain becomes oxygen depleted, it will initiate even more responses. Such as rapid heart beat, blurred vision, and decreased motor function. Fish out of water responses so to speak. You can call it dehydration if you prefer. That why they tell cannabis smokers to stay hydrated.
Any away the question then becomes, how much of a substance did you have to intake to illicit such a negative response? We’re you already smoking? Had you had any caffeine or any other diuretic in the last 24 hours? Most Coffee, chocolate, or sodas contain huge amounts of caffeine. The sympathetic responses of intaking caffeine, cannabis, and cigarettes, can have a synergistic effect on the body thus produces a more negative and longer lasting stress response.
I know people who have been smoking bud for over 20 years and still can’t tell the difference in a cannabis high and a cigarette high.
I did an experiment on a guy to prove this theory. In front of a witness, I rolled a blunt that was filled with cigarette tobacco. I placed just enough cannabis on the ends to simulate an actual blunt.
When the guy had but they blunt out, I asked him how was it. He was like “awe man, it was good. Smoother than usual, but good.”
At that time, my witness speaks up and tell the guy that he was smoking cigarettes tobacco.
I felt bad for embarrassing my friend. He was always talking about all the good strains that he had smoked back in the day. Therefore I wanted to test him. Try it for yourself on one of your buddies who come smoke with you.
See for yourself just how many there are who can’t tell the difference between smoking a cannabis joint and smoking a cigarette. You would think, they should know the difference in just a few hits.
