Marijuana goes viral in Colorado -- I've never been this high
    #19363719 - 01/03/14 02:42 PM (10 years, 27 days ago)

As everyone is probably aware of by now, anyone of age can now purchase marijuana for recreational use in the state of Colorado. Since I've never had a card, I went to my nearest dispensary to experience the legal purchase of marijuana for the first time.

It was an incredibly long wait, but the entire experience was well worth it. The weed was also pretty expensive too, and everyone there already had access to weed through outside sources anyways, but we were all in for the ride.

I picked up an eighth of sour kush and a small (but really nice) glass pipe. Now please note: I am an experienced smoker and I've had medical-grade bud from dispensaries before, but this was something else entirely...

That night I packed a small bowl of this sour kush into my pipe and smoked it while holding in each hit for a good amount of time. One. Bowl. 10 minutes later I'm sitting in my house and full-out tripping face. Visuals, rainbow patterns, voices in the background, eyes on inanimate objects...I really had no idea what I had gotten myself into. I actually had to calm myself down on the "come-up" by listening to music and just relaxing.

I'm officially calling this a trip. The whole experience lasted about 5-6 hours and the peak happened around 2 hours in. I was truly blown away. The only other times I've been this high comparably was the very first time I ever got high and one time where I took 4 dab hits of shatter hash oil.

Has anyone else been surprised on what just one bowl could do out of nowhere? This was from a small glass pipe nonetheless! Not some mega bong, or a tightly packed joint, or a thick blunt...just sour kush :trippinbawelz:

I have had my medical card in the past and know many people that grow for dispensaries and/or personal use, but I have never had an experience like that. I do smoke on a daily basis (approx. 5 years now) and the product I do get is very good stuff, so i may have a high tolerance at this point. I have not been into a recreational dispensary as I live in a small town and we only have medical dispensaries near by, so i wont be able to check out the new recreational ones until i make it to Denver next i suppose. do you think they could have been selling that synthetic weed? i have never tried that either or seen it in person but who knows. I want to try some of whatever they are giving out! haha. i cant remember getting a psychedelic high from weed since my first few times smoking it, if ever. maybe i smoke to much.... haha  :blazed:

I do not think it's synthetic weed/spice but it  sure felt like something more than just regular weed! I've stopped smoking on a regular basis however, so I'm sure that my lower tolerance affected the outcome of my experience.

For people without a "card" like me, it was like $60 an eighth. I felt like I was being ripped off at first until I actually smoked this stuff! And like I said, it was more for the experience than it was for actually obtaining the  weed itself.  Also, I don't think it's against the forum rules to discuss prices since this is all legal. Am I right?

60 an eight! wow I haven;t paid that price since sophomore year of HS. Top shelf is 35-45, some of the expensive areas might touch 50.

Prices were steep in California in 2002 too. My friend grows for Cali dispensaries he is poor as fuck despite being great grower, its a buyers market. Once things get established in CO prices will drop. In 6 months growers won't even be able to unload it at huge discounts.

60 an 8th is high. I understand that they are running a brick and mortar shop, so I can see the prices there. As of right now I have seen suggested donations under amend. 64. Of 180 an oz. I have seen craigslist ads for suggested donations ranging anywhere from that up to 250, although I wouldn't deal with anyone I didn't know, unless it was an actual shop. I have even seen it as low as 50 an oz. it will be interesting to see how everything pans out and where the price will settle considering  supply/demand, and the fact that these new stores have overhead and tax. they may be competing with individuals who are using this "donation" scheme or the scheme of "buy this size poster (or whatever other legalization commemorative piece), get this much weed free!" Which who knows how long that will last.

I'd like to know what percent of households have taken up a plant or two since the legalization. I know a few people that grew one in the window just because they could. Really they make a cool house plant haha

I went on the second day after work and managed to get into a shop after not too long a wait

The weed I bought was $70 an eighth. The same strain was selling in the same shop for $35 for medical users. so they doubled the price.

I bought an eighth of NYc Diesel and an eigth of Bio Diesel.

I payed $170 total including taxes.

The prices are totally ridiculous.

I am going to go back to buying from my buddy until my fav dispensary starts selling rec weed. They are going to have a $25 cap on all eighth like they do their medical stuff.

I have a hard time believing this. I whole heartlessly believe that you can trip on THC but I don't think it's possible from smoking bud as the THC content is much less than what it is in other forms such as hash, edibles, wax, oils, and pure injection. I've eaten edibles with no tolerance and had a very very light trip, I've smoked enough wax and mixed edibles enough to have a very very mild trip but I can't imagine smoking buds and tripping face. Usually the body load is too overwhelming and/or the drop in blood pressure begins creating anxiety before a trip comes on.

I make good money, and I can't put a price on freedom. I'll happily pay whatever they charge to enjoy cannabis without the risk of getting in trouble.. or worse, going to jail.

I have to agree with you here. I can't put a price on freedom, but as long as I'm free to grow a plant or two I don't care what they charge in the shops. Those are some ridiculous prices though. The way I see it is most colorado resident smokers will already have a hook up or card or whatever, so may not be as affected by the higher prices in the shops. Tourists, however, probably will have to go to a dispensary in most cases, but I guess that will give our local economies a boost. The town I live in is almost 100% tourist oriented, we have a ski resort close and also a very small college and also get a lot of county revenue from mining operations over the hill, but the winter and summer activities is what draws most people and the local economy is mostly based on that. The city (or maybe county) has decided that we will not host any rec dispensaries ( we have med ones in the ski town up the road) but to me it seems stupid to not let any rec shops open when our economy is so based upon tourism. To me it would be another draw for people to come here, and a chance to generate a large amount of profit.  Most of the people living here are pro weed anyway and MANY people grow, shit there is a guy on the next block over that has one of those huge dome tent things outside (like the size of a small house or garage) and he has been growing in it for a few years now. And the cop shop is literally right across the street, and there is no hiding that smell. Luckily the cops in my town have decided to leave marijuana growers alone since it's medical legalization as they don't want to get into any kind of legal battles, which they had at one point and lost which is why I think they have just decided to back down. and even before it was legal I had a surprising amount of out of towners ask me for it. I just don't see how the leaders of my town think its smart not to have rec dispensaries available, the black market is already so big for such a small town that they could generate a lot of revenue, although I know many people that rely fully or partially on it to get by, so they may be screwed if they opened rec dispensaries. It's all very interesting and I'm excited to see how things pan out over the next while.

Besides all the costs associated with starting a business (it aint cheap bros lemme tell ya), the price soared upward due to the old economic "supply and demand"

it's a good marketing strategy: they knew ppl would pay high to get their first taste of 'legal weed'. they knew the demand is there and they can get away with it.

and finally, weed is being TAXED so this is actually beneficial to the state of Colorado.

definitely when shit gets settled in I'd expect the prices to go back down to what they were already.

I have had a similar experience after smoking about a .5g bowl out of a bubbler. It was medical grade but I was convinced I had absorbed "lsd" through my fingers because of how trippy it was. My vision went completely kalidescope and I had a powerful rushing sensation. I thought it could have been a head rush but it lasted a good 15 minutes
