There's such a fine line between pity and envy that I straddle when I encounter the likes of you.What am I missing out on?TIA.
The weed these days is so potent and I smoke so infrequently it always feels I am smoking for the first time.There's such a fine line between pity and envy that I straddle when I encounter the likes of you.
I ate a whole cookie way back and had that odd feeling that my chair was tipping over....for like 4 hours. This was 15 years ago when I was smoking regularly.I’m 47 and got high for the first time on edibles when they made it legal in my state 9 months ago. They say to take 10mg or less of THC your first time, so I did around 3pm on a Friday. I made the beginners mistake of trying 10mg, thinking nothing happened after an hour, so I took 20mg more. After 3 hours - yes 3 hours - it kicked in - hard.
At first, I felt a little lightheaded, but in a good way. Then I started coming up with the most hilarious jokes ever (so I thought).
My wife and I went out to dinner - she drove (and was laughing at me the whole time). She ordered her meal and it came out cold. I was a little less inhibited in telling the waiter that it was bad. I wasn’t a jerk about it, but I didn’t have the same hesitation I normally would, and we ended up leaving.
She and I tried having a conversation, but - and I wasn’t aware of this beforehand - my short term memory was GONE. Like I would start a sentence and forget what I was saying before I could finish. I’ve never experienced something like that, but it was a very funny to us both.
We were frustrated with the restaurant, so we ended up going to a Mexican fast food chain. That crappy food was THE BEST EVER (I guess it was “the munchies”). In fact, all my senses were heightened. Listening to music was so clear - I noticed instruments in songs I never noticed before.
By about midnight, most of the largest impacts were gone, but until about noon the next day, I still felt some effects and would not have gotten behind the wheel of a car in that light headed condition.
I’ve done it several times since then (once or twice a month - only on weekends), and think everyone should just try it once to see what the deal is. For me, it is relaxing, enhances the senses (ALL senses....ahem), and helps me get a great night sleep when I am ready. I also have anxiety issues, and it certainly helps with that - it’s like ingesting happiness.
On the flip side, my wife tried it once, and she got really dizzy for an hour (not in a good way), but then recovered nicely. I think it hits everyone a little differently, so you just have to see for yourself and adjust your intake accordingly.
username doesn't check out ...Ha!
This is the same topic I started in 05 that earned me my 1st TO.
(Actually, my topic was I've never been drunk or high...what am I missing)
What am I missing out on?TIA.
i've got us covered, and then someMe neither.![]()

If you do it regularly, it doesn’t have the same impect.I can't imagine doing it every day, but a handful or so times a year to chill out is pretty sweet. I recommend it.
I work with a gal, who is convinced I smoke weed every night because of the kind of music I like. To say she is stereotyping would be the understatement of the year.Folks are surprised i'm not a weed guy, but i never have been.
That sounds pretty 80's right there.If you are going to try it, lace it with some PCP first
Ya, it's weird. Got nothing against it but, when i returned east a few years back, i ran into some old friends who have toked pretty much every day for the last 50 yrs. They are now about the biggest waste of shirts i ever met, so there's that.I work with a gal, who is convinced I smoke weed every night because of the kind of music I like.

Noob question - how you keep it fresh that long?I*'ll pick some up once or twice a year. $50 will last us like 3-4 months so it's not like we smoke a lot. A few hits now and then before we go out for a walk or before certain movies. Just for a little buzz.
I keep it in these little containers. It does get kinda dried out the last month or so but I'm not very particular.Noob question - how you keep it fresh that long?

It lasts a long time. Keep it in something air sealed. My friend likes to age his, he has a little museum of different strains at different ages.Noob question - how you keep it fresh that long?
I don’t even have kids ?that is the most dad explanation of doing the pot ever.
Agreed, but I must confess that I miss the ritual. Packing a one hitter, rolling a joint, breaking buds down for use.Cartridges. The only way to go.
I'm still old school.Agreed, but I must confess that I miss the ritual. Packing a one hitter, rolling a joint, breaking buds down for use.
For example...?Truth. Certain strains put me down like Old Yeller.
