A question for those that use weed.

[WULFSTAN]

I use to smoke weed when i was younger would always make me happy relaxed etc. Now i haven't smoked any for 7 or more years. I tried a bit of a space cake but the effects were not the same as they use to be I became paranoid and i stated feeling really bad about myself worthless like i was a failure I just couldn't get the thoughts out of my head my brain wouldn't switch off if you know what i mean. Why is this did i simply take too much or is there a other reason? thanks.

Maybe these days you're a worthless failure.

Just because you're paranoid etc etc...

I used it for the first time in years at the BCF BBQ and it knocked me out
For the rest of the weekend, I just took it easy, not overdoing it, had a few beers with it, and generally chilled, and I was fine, even though in the company of folks I'd never met before.

I used to enjoy it more alone at home for pure relaxation in the evenings after work anyway. Put the sounds on and just chill

I didn't drink for 7 years. Then one day I drank 5 litres of whiskey and was vomiting and feeling like I was going to die. Thats not how I remember it back in my day!!!!

This is pretty much exactly what you did with weed. No surprise it kicked your dick into the dirt.

Weed these days is grown for its high THC content which gets you fucked up, but isn't great if you just want to get a mellow buzz on. I asked Benson to get ahold of some for me a few weeks back, he said his usual guy had nothing in, he had an alternate but said it was "pretty shit stuff". Well my eyes lit up "yep, i'll have that then mate, sounds great!". And it was, smoked a reef before going into a gig and became one with the music. Lovely.

I don't like all the "Super OG Lemon Kush Haze Scrotum Exploder Turbo V6" shit. It makes me paranoid and panicky, similar to what you describe above. Give me the mediocre (by todays standards) shitty ass weed any day and I'll have a jolly old time.

Last time I tried 'space cakes' it had the strongest affect on me (haven't smoked in years). Music started sounding like it was on fast forward, then on the bus home I couldn't work out where I was, looking out the window I was seeing a completely different part of the city from where I was

Dunno how this helps, just noticed that weed and drink has a stronger affect on me now I do it less regularly (and probably due to getting older too ).

Weed is getting stronger and you had a long break. And weed gives you anxiety/paranoid brains from time to time with certain people, IF u keep smoking on a regular you will be fine, althugh weed isnt for some people. i smoked tonight with a 4 day break prior and it got me high as fuck also

Eating weed turns out differently to smoking it. It will hit you later and it'll hit you harder.

Plus... if you're eating 1 space cake then you've got less of an idea of how much weed you're actually eating. You don't know what the weed that went it to it was and you don't know how well (or not so well) they've mixed it. So two cakes from the same batch could be very different strengths.

If going for the Super OG Lemon Kush Haze Scrotum Exploder Turbo V6 then you'll know what to be expecting; sativa or indica and what the effects will be. If they're saying it's psychosis cheese and it's actually just cheese then that dealer doesn't know what they're talking about and so can't be trusted. It's at that point their number gets deleted from my phone.

Cannabis is the same as it was in the 60's or 70's, super strength genetically modified evil skunk doesn't exist and it's not killing your children, despite what the Daily Mail would have you believe.

[andys675]

for me it always depends where your head is at, if you've got underlying worries then smoking some shit in the wrong circumstances will expand your worries, remember when you were younger you were out with your mates having a good time, going overboard on your own you've got no-one there to keep you "high" on the moment

sure there's heavy shit these days, after the years me and my mates spent smoking ordinary gear we progressed onto smoking the flower heads which really fuck you up, haven't touched it for years now

If you want to try paranoid, try growing it at home. I had some nice green once that had seeds that looked quite good, healthy. It wasn't real skunky stuff, but nice. So I thought I'll plant loads of em, and maybe one or two might come up. I ended up with pots holding 90 plants! You couldn't move in my flat for the suckers.

Then I got really paranoid about a helicopter that started flying around above the estate where I lived, panicked, and binned the lot

I agree, "shitty" weed is almost always better than "super skunk ball buster" shite. It's why I never really touched the stuff in England, but have loved it in many other countries where you smoke "bush weed".

Also, as said, eating weed is a very different beast from smoking it. Far as I can tell, almost guaranteed miserable time.

That said, I have also noticed a shift in the way weed affects me. I'm hoping it is just the latest batch I've been buying, but I've also been feeling very bad on it occasionally. It would be a shame to lose that "soma", as I find it to be a much more positive influence than alcohol. Especially on a party.

Also, I am beginning to worry about t effects on general IQ level and capability. Dropping to occasional smoking, I notice for a few days my mind feels 'foggy'.

Also, what do people feel about their decision making skills on weed? Sometimes I feel like I have very important epiphanies due to smoking, and act on them. But afterwards I am left concerned that it was not what I 'really' wanted to do. And yet, in some ways, the stoned me is more likely to be the real me, or a clearer window to the subconscious desires, so acting on that may not be the worst thing in the world.

What say ye, BCF massif?

[Dave70]

It probably had more to do with where your head was at, at the time. If you smoke enough you'll no doubt not give a sh!t and just end up chilling out.

As Ste said, eating it in cakes can make it difficult to judge the amount you're taking.

I've always wanted to try weed. I took one puff on a joint and coughed my guts up. I ain't a smoker either.

How do I go about not coughing when I hit it?

How long is a piece of string?

It will depend on the type of gear you have, it's strength, how strong you want the cakes to be, how big a batch you are making etc. I dunno, I never even measure out spices when I make a curry. It's more like sprinkle, sprinkle, yeah, that'll do

If using normal weed then you'll want to make cannabutter and use that in whatever you're cooking.

If you can get it then bubble hash (also known as zero zero hash) is ideal for adding to whatever you're cooking.

I'd be using more than a draw for a batch of cakes.

How harsh weed is to smoke can be reduced in a number of ways. First and foremost... less tobacco!!! Tobacco is evil so you want to use as little as possible. The weed you're using needs to be dried properly. When you're grinding the weed up or breaking it up by hand, you want to be careful not to put any twiggy bits into the spliff cos twiggy bits will have you coughing your lungs up.

And on that note, it's dental plan breakfast time.

[BigShow]

You probably just over did it a bit. Weed has never done anything to me except make me lazy and hungry.

Also don't smoke by yourself that can be a bit depressing and make you a bit more introspective.
