Why is weed taken so lightly? * 1
    #22373321 - 10/13/15 01:15 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I started smoking weed 7 years ago, the first year and a half of smoking was only on the weekends, maybe twice in a weekend. Then there was a phase around 2 years that it was at least 2 times a weekend, then for about 3 months it was every damn day. This phase passed quickly and for about 3 years it was about 2-3 days a month, sometimes more, sometimes 1-2 months without smoking at all. Now this last year it was more like 2 times a month, and the last 4 months I haven't smoked once.

In that time I smoked alone exactly 7 times, and even then I had my dog and was doing it instead of taking prescription narcotics for a surgery I had.

Thinking back to all my times smoking, even that 3 month period of daily use, they were all pretty damn profound. I've had legit full blown visual hallucinations to real deep introspection, I've also had abdomen destroying laughter attacks and 4am $30 Taco Bell munchies.

My question is how do you think that this obviously very strong and potent substance has slipped through into the mainstream well other psychedelics are so taboo still? Do you think it is OK that people treat it more like ibuprofen or cigs than as LSD? Also as kind of a side note what do you think about the rising popularity of ridiculously high THC content concentrates?

Because it's a light drug.

like anything when you do it often it becomes more normal. most people mid tripping are much more incapacitated vs being stoned where you can function at work or driving ect.

also with those long breaks you are bound to get really high vs many stoners smoking every day.

When you mention full blown visual hallucinations, do you mean from edibles or from just smoking?

But what I'm asking is how did it get to the point everyone just thinks it is a 'light drug'? I can't speak for everyone but I know my friends and I have had some real deep trips on weed. Also there is documented instances where ayahuasca shamans have tried weed and spoke of how strong it was. I think it is totally fine to use it however you want as long as you don't harm others; I'm just curious how it made it into the mainstream when other psychedelics are still taboo?

I think the only problem I have currently is that the medical stuff is pretty strong. I've already fainted twice here in Colorado from smoking and being a bit dehydrated. I don't know, I don't find weed THAT strong, except when I started smoking. People just need to chill. They be smokin' too many blunts and then complain when they forget everything, spend all their money on cheap food, and sleep for 12 hours.

i think you should have to personally grow that stuffmake it
too many noobs smoking that shit not knowing what they're doing, too many shitty drivers but hey gotta be 21 now so...
I started growing recently, working on some cbd diesel it's like 8% but the shit gets' me high as balls and I get the real thing as far as CBD goes, if they put that in a pill I'd probably take CBG

Didn't have an edible for the first 5 years and had numerous visual hallucinations. One instance I remember vividly is of the small room we were smoking in, first the colors all went into red scale monotone, proportions getting really funky (like I was small and a person 5ft from me was HUGE) then the walls began oozing and moving.

I have also had hallucinations on edibles, very different then smoking ones though.

No matter how stoned i get mentally, and how fucked i feel, I'm physically fine. I'm capable of doing normal things, and am normally a little better at doing them :shrug:. I cant say the same about tripping.

Nothing is sacred anymore, IMO. Not even tripping. People have turned those activities into recreation rather than spiritual enhancement.

Better than someone speedballing meth and heroin, stealing all your shit, ripping the copper out of your wiring and vacuuming the lawn while shooting an AK at helicopters manned by shadow people. :shrug:

Drunks are no better than stoners.

Some drugs are better than other drugs.

But that's just like, my opinion man.

because its a soft drug. when I say soft
drug I mean it basically does no physical
damage to the body and is not physically
addicting.Just like mushrooms and LSD.

Unlike cocaine, meth, heroin, even alcohol
and cigarettes, which are all hard drugs.

Ive got the weird proportions. You ever get "cartoon vision"? For me it all went away, but to this day if i smoke enough everything looks a little warped and too colorful.

I used to take weed lightly, but after a long period of daily use it has become my opinion that weed is pretty powerful stuff.

Not good or bad, just powerful. Be careful with it.

Damn, I know for certain that most times when I smoke there is at least a few minutes where I wouldn't trust myself to do anything important, drive, or just get up off that uber comfy couch I'm on. I think LSD, shrooms, DMT, etc. are way more in your face literally and figuratively; but I know weed changes my minds eye perception of things just as much as those drugs do, just in a different direction.

Yeah I have personally found that i feel waaaay more euphoric off 3 big hits from my bowl than if i smoke a whole gram at once. Nothing fun about getting so high you feel incapacitated and insane.

Yeah I agree, that isn't what any of my questions are about lol. I asked why is it that weed is accepted in mainstream society and not the other psychedelics?

This is pretty much my opinion of it. I have no issue with daily or large dosage users, I just am confused why it is assumed to be a 'light drug' or lesser than other psychs when I think it can be just as powerful, just in a different way.

Yeah, i said capable, not willing :lol:
I've driven really stoned, i drove fine, but was going 35 the whole time and freaking out. It felt like i was driving forever, in reality i only drove 5 minutes.

I normally dont put myself in situations where im high out of my mind and have to do something like drive, but if the situation arises I'm not unable to function. If I was nodding off or shit faced I would definitely not be able to drive.
