How much weed should I plan on smoking?
    #18826797 - 09/11/13 07:59 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Dear shroomery,

It's recently come to my attention that I'm rather stressed and anxious. I mean for years. For decades. For most of my life, no doubt stemming from underlying stress and insecurities in my mother / father's lives, passed on through daily family life during childhood.

All manner of insecurities plague my psyche, and I tend to instinctively cling, agitate and buzz around excessively, which no doubt will take years off my life if continued at this pace.

This is a type of vibe that I haven't seen with weed smokers. There's a certain chill, a certain smooth flowing flow to them that I wish I had as well, but as of yet I don't. I've taken all manner of psychedelics and have only had mediocre results with weed before. However now I think on my next Holland trip I should perhaps make an effort to offer thc the proper attention it deserves, as a real green plant medicine.

How might I best go about this? I must mention I loathe tobacco, don't have a bong at the moment and have had a few weird experiences on weed, that came nowhere close to a good proper shroom or aya trip. Any advice on how to tackle this problem?

bongs are very conservative on weed, consider getting one if you plan on using for a long time. It will save you money in the long run. I would recommend smoking only when you feel anxious at first. Then take it from there. Try to develop alternatives like going for walks as well. Exercise helps too.

I suppose that might be true.  I don't like rolling my weed, I prefer glass pieces.

A good old glass bowl will let you take small hits until you're just where you need to be, whereas with a bong the bowl tends to get burned through very quickly for an intense hit.  Or maybe I'm doing it wrong.

I must mention that I'm not a pill popping meat eating alcohol drinking tv watching couch potato. I do know the value of exercise and good nutrition, and even meditation / breath awareness sometimes. That being said, even on my most active, sporty, fit and awesome times, I could still not shake this type of nervousness, that I see weed smokers have very well handled.

It's the rhythm with which one approaches life. I see myself approaching it too suddenly, rushed, as if I just need to be more mellow. Take my time. Smoooooooothly think things over, and then act nicely, deliberately, all in good time.

Dedicated weed smokers on this forum may find it hard to relate, as they've been living this lifestyle and are now like fish in the water, but you know that feeling when you just know this dude needs some herb to unwind?
That exact thing, I feel a lot of my life has had that exact vibe to it. Just chill for a minute, puff on this and then rethink your options, you'll feel much better  :jah:

Going to the Netherlands soon. I was planning on Ibogaine but that didn't work out yet. I think weed is the next molecule I should really look into, get some green flowing calm in my life, and paint my worries away :tongue2:

From experience I never plan how much weed I need, I just keep stash so during trip I don't need to worry if it will last for whole experience. Also I like to smoke moderately throughout rather than take couple big hits and roll with it till the end.

In my opinion have as much as you can and smoke when you feel like it.

Sounds like a plan. I wonder if the rest of the world knows about Polish pipes, and how much they cost. I really liked the one I've seen at this random Polish guy, it seemed super effective and stealthy. If I can't find one in Holland, I'll prolly just spring for the cheapest pipe ever and use that instead. I hope pipes work without tobacco, I just need some thc.

It's funny because I'm polish and I was using polish pipes until I bought vaporizer couple days ago. They cost 1 euro each where I live, you can find them in every head shop. They are very efficient because you can control how fast you smoke it (close both side to keep smoke in pipe).

Get some edibles to be health conscious.

A vaporizer saves a lot of weed.  You can just vaporize your bowls in the sun using a magnifying glass, or hold a flame above it so only the heat is running through the green, turning it brown before you even touch flame to it.

I would start slowly, working up momentum throughout the month and maybe taking a tolerance break for a few days halfway through.

Favorite entheogen experiences in descending order:
1)Combo of oral DMT + smoked Bufotenine
2)Amanita (urine drank twice)
3)Mushrooms > Achuma 16"+cid(still need higher dose Achuma)> Cid (still need high dose)
4)Morning Glory-HBWR (+cumin, cinnamon aldehyde adducts) > Methyl chavicol (need more activators)
5)Salvia (need to try quid)


All readable matter in the above post is ficticious... any similarities to real life are purely coincidental.

Blessing.

It took me about 3 years to learn this, but if I don't smoke I get stressed out.  I also learned the value of exercise, because I was in ROTC for 4 years, and when I just stopped doing everything this summer looking for a job, my body stopped working as well.  I had heart palpitations, which scared the shit out of me at first, but once I started exercising again, it went away like magic. 

I wouldn't recommend Ibogaine regardless of how serious your problem is, but thats just because I had a buddy in the first 3 years of college who was fighting depression after a massive dose of LSD one summer.  Without me realizing it at the time, he was approaching his psychedelic experiences with the intent of finding the answer to life, for lack of a better term.  You have to figure this shit out for yourself, IMHO, although I have no doubt psychedelics have helped many people through rough times.

THAT being said, don't use the herb as a crutch.  I've gotten to the point where I smoke for fun, after all my work is done, and not a second before (okay, maybe folding clothes and cleaning around the house is much more enjoyable stoned :jah:).  I definitely feel like it could help your problem, but I've also heard of many people who feel anxiety and paranoia while high.  Different strokes, so I'd recommend giving it a shot.  It could just exacerbate your problem, or it could be a welcome relief from it.

I'd also buy a good amount at a time (saves money in the long run).  I used to have an ounce last an entire semester, when I was smoking only on weekends, but now I think I could put away an ounce a month.  As for smoking apparati, if you're health conscious, get a vape (VOLCANOS FTFW).  If volcanoes weren't so damn expensive I'd have one, but I can't wait to get a bong!

You'll just have to play it by ear broseph, good luck!

Hmm, come to think of it, I know this dude in Holland that has a pretty fly vape, I suspect I shall put it to good use when we meet :lol:

I think all my current problems are completely circumstantial. There's nothing wrong with my head per se, I'm just in the wrong context. By nature I'm a psy painter, I'd thrive to no end if I were in South America somewhere, working with other similar-minded artists, but as of yet I didn't manage to get my arse over there, so things are a bit meh for me. This leads to stress and nervousness. Moderate amounts of weed might be the temporary solution, to be able to push through this stuff. Will test and report how it goes.

First, let me say I didn't read through every post, so this may of already gotten addressed.

In my experience, if you have chronic stress and anxiety, weed is the opposite of what you need. If you smoke it conservatively when you get bad panic attacks, it'll be fine and help you. But if you start habitually smoking it, it can worsen your anxiety a lot.

I've had chronic anxiety most of my life and after being an every day smoker for the past year, my anxiety is horrible. If I stop weed, I get panic attacks all day long, I can't eat any food, I get depressed, I can't sleep and I feel like dying. On top of this, weed has also introduced paranoia into my life, so I'm not just anxious, I'm paranoid.

I'm not trying to speak negatively to weed, I love it. But know that if you have bad anxiety, you may end up either having to become a daily smoker to deal with the negative side effects or you'll have to deal with worse anxiety than when you started.

Again, this doesn't happen to everybody; but I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the side effects that can happen when you combine weed+anxiety. This isn't an isolated case either, many of my smoker friends who had anxiety now have the same or similar daily effects as me.

If you just want anxiety relief, here's a few things that help me deal with daily anxiety: Two cups of green tea a day (it's healthy too!), burning incense, cutting down on caffeine and meditating. Obviously there's a lot more that you can do, but those are some simple things I try to do on a daily basis to keep control of my anxiety. I also try and hippie flip a few times a year. It helps me keep a fresh a clear outlook on life. No more than 4 times though, the negative side effects of MDMA overuse is chronic depression. Which is the opposite of what you want.

Well there's more reasons to not smoke a whole lot of weed daily. Chief of them being the pothead effect :lol: I mean I'm ineffective enough as it is, if I become a dedicated pothead and then just chill all day watching Daffy Duck cartoons, then obviously that's a bit counterproductive.

I don't have serious chronic anxiety nor panic attacks, I just don't particularly like the speed I function at. Just seems slightly too nervous. I'd like my default setting perhaps a notch or two more towards mellow.

Surely some things other than weed help as well. Exercising. Socializing. Philosophy, reading and watching videos about it, and then taking time out to actually think things through. The analyzed life, that goes a long long way. That being said, in the same way that mushrooms make you dance and move a bit more free, it's my impression that weed makes you slow down, mellow out and sail a bit smoother around life's corners. I've dodged and avoided it for years, always preferring psychedelics, but I don't think they do the same thing.

Should definitely be an interesting stay in the Netherlands, that's for sure  :bigjoint:

Go to your local headshop, and ask for something that looks like this:
http://i01.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/1097807227/New-Click-N-Vape-Portable-font-b-Herbal-b-font-Vaporizer-Wind-Proof-Torch-Lighter-Velvet.jpg

You put your weed (bud) in it, and then you click a button that activates a built in torch lighter - you then breathe in, and you will get some nice hits.

And then you should get a small bong too, something just for personal use. If you got these two things (probably for less than a total of $60), you will have a few good options for smoking.

Good luck

Hello,

I've been smoking consistently for around 3 years. Joints waste the most weed, but are the most therapeutic IMO (although paper is not good for your lungs). Make some edibles if you're trying to conserve weed (you can use .1 in a firecracker that gets you zonked if it is decarboxylated and fully saturated with fat).

If not into edibles, buy a small vape or a pipe and go for it. Start slow, weed can be very mentally addicting. I like vaporgenie - packs huge vape hits but you have to light it. Volcano's are the most cost-efficient vape, or Arizer. Maybe just a bowl would do you well as a casual smoker.

Sincerely,

King Pot Head

3 weeks of smoking weed isn't gonna chill you out bro. You don't really learn anything from weed experiences like you do mushrooms. It's a lifestyle kind of thing.  What you're trying to do is cram for an exam in a short amount of time when you have to work at it for awhile for it to really happen.

Well you do and you don't.

Here's what I mean: 3 weeks is enough to get some habits going. I'm interested in painting for instance, and I find that my head's usually to buzzing with conflicting thoughts, too fast, to get actual work done. I'll start towards something, then impatiently shift directions in the middle of painting a piece, like 20 times. Before I know it, the day is over, I'm stressed and pissed off, and have no painting to show for it. Completely counterproductive.

What I'm hoping the weed will do, is take the edge off enough, to get some hours of focused painting each day. I'll get a few weeks of consistent painting, hopefully. A good rhythm during the day, if that makes sense, slow and even. Mellow. Once I get into such a rhythm (as I did back in art school) I am hoping then I'll be able to sustain it. It's easy to stick to a technique and style once you've figured out the steps and have done 10-20 paintings with it.

Also, it doesn't have to be limited to 3 weeks, while I'm in the Netherlands. I'm sure I can find some OK sources in my country as well, get some emergency stash for when I get edgy. Make it a lifestyle thing as you say, although I'm a bit paranoid about weed possession actually.

Yesterday I got a joint passed around, being a terrible smoker I couldn't inhale for shit, but the two puffs I did get in, totally mellowed me out for a while. That's EXACTLY the feel I need.

Since I'm on a budget, I think I'll start with a small cheapo pipe, see how that works. If I could find any kind of cheapo glass vaporizer, the kind you heat with a lighter, that would be even better. Will see what the smart shops have over there. Or if that doesn't work, then there's always :sporedrop: microdosing. That's tried and tested, last good painting I made was on that :lol:

What I'm hoping the weed will do, is take the edge off enough, to get some hours of focused painting each day. I'll get a few weeks of consistent painting, hopefully. A good rhythm during the day, if that makes sense, slow and even. Mellow. Once I get into such a rhythm (as I did back in art school) I am hoping then I'll be able to sustain it.



Now this is exactly what weed is good for. Good luck man! Hope it ends up working for you.

This seems like a real issue, maybe starting to smoke weed would not be the best idea ? I have been there, and although i love some nice weed then it is really not the cure. And once you get sober again it all may seem much worse. Smoke all you want but if you want to change the underlying source of misery then do something more - such as a very well controlled high dose mushroom trip or meditation :smile:.
Just my opinion tough , weed is great !

Did some mush tripping, either I didn't do enough, or it was too long ago, or it comes with other benefits, just not this one. Also did Ayahuasca several times, and I noticed the same thing. It gives ideas, shows visions, doesn't seem to give the calm and even pace of thinking required to actually paint them.

Will try to focus on low dose (micro-dose actually) shrooms, and some weed as well. I've had too many trips that filled my head with awesome visions, and not much came of them, in terms of painting. This time around I'm all about the rendering. Sustained attention. My only concern is acting like a pothead, being equally unproductive, but for other reasons (laying on the couch feeling good about life in general, not getting anything done) :jah:

I hope my sensitive nonsmoker lungs and a few other things will keep me from that, and allow me to get back on track. Will definitely report. By the looks of it, my travel date has moved up, in about a week I shall be on the premises, ready for the "research" project :lol:

instead of trying to fix what mental hangups you have buy puffing a cloud of smoke over situation, maybe, try to use that meditation you spoke of in previous post.  it doesn't make much sense to me how smoking weed is going to help with whatever it is your having difficulties with.  sounds as if you want to smoke weed and have found an excuse to do so.  if you want to smoke weed, smoke weed and enjoy it.  don't tie anchors onto the experience only to have to pull up later to sail on.

that's what the earlier post of the thread sounded like when reading OP's posts.

I don't particularly like smoking in general, and previous weed smoking sessions were far, far less satisfying than psychedelics, for me. When given the occasion to smoke weed or salvia, I'd probably take salvia every time.

That being said, after the experience, when no longer high, I see a certain vibe that weed smokers have, that I don't. I've seen this with weed smokers of all levels of intelligence, with or without psychedelic use, etc. So I can only suspect it does help with getting this vibe, this mellow rhythm, which is what I plan to test.

And dont think this is bad weed, premium haze strain .. but that DOES NOT CUT IT! :stonedjerk:

No i quit that Shit instantly:baaaam:




I know exactly what you mean. This is why I had to quit. Get high all weekend and then feel hazy at work all week, no thank you. But used during trips or on rare occasion... :thumbup:

Peace

With no tolerance, weed feels very narcotic.  With years of tolerance, weed is fun and interesting. With prolonged tolerance, weed can get boring.

What's the message here? Personal evaluation of use is recommended for optimal experiences.

I need a tolerance break, just so I can remember what if fells to be sober again. Then it's back to dabs n hash.

I believe similarly to Terrence McKenna that weed should be smoked rarely enough where light OEV's can be achieved in the dark by smoking enough on no other intoxicants. :hippie:

Trust me it works, if you have never experienced this, I truly feel sorry for you. It's great!

I still get high very fast, but mentally I realized that I use weed all the time. I don't want this attribute. It may debilitate my Relationship with MJ.

I can't comment on the OEV's because of my residual HPPD visual effects, but I can definitely see changes in visuals. Everything has a gloss color to it, and everything is sharper. Like the most modest dose of mushrooms, without the trippy thoughts.

I've had that excessively stoned feeling before, and definitely DID NOT like it :thumbdown:

For my purposes, I think moderation is the key. Not looking to trip or "get high", if I feel like doing that I have a whole range of psychedelics to choose from. What I'm looking to do is get mellow, or get my thoughts more evenly modulated for a few hours. For that I have probably a mild weed buzz (what I will be testing) or shroom micro-dosing as alternatives.

Like any other substances, the dose must match the purpose.

rikuni from what you describe IMO you just took too much. Might work better if you slow down a bit
