Does anyone else not enjoy or care about weed anymore? 4

Years ago the thought of near national decriminalization/legalization of marijuana would have been one of the GREATEST pieces of news I could have ever heard.
Nowadays, it doesn't even excite me. In the past few years in the rare occasion I consumed in any form(bud,vape cart,edible,etc) it pretty much led to the same exact thing: extremely weird racing thoughts, physical and mental discomfort, hyper awareness of pain in the body, paranoia, and anxiety. It was infact almost always the exact opposite of all good things most may associate with marijuana.
I honestly don't even understand how people can even function after smoking this modern stuff, let alone super concentrates like oils,wax,dabs,etc. based off these strains. To me the flower alone feels weirder and more intense than taking a low dose of standard psychedelics.
It wasn't always like this. I cut my teeth and pretty much only smoked primarily what was widely available as the generic 'mids' in the early 2000's. Obviously by today's standards it isn't considered technically great weed, but damn if the high wasn't great.
I don't know if its a change in brain chemistry, nostalgia goggles, the change in the market of weed with sky high THC potency and hyper breeding that legitimately changed the effects, or what. I feel like I've read similar experiences from people who used to smoke and was highly enjoyable for many years, but somewhere along the line it just became a horrible experience, so they avoid it.
Anyone else feel this way?

I have been smoking weed since the mid 90s when it came in a brick. I have a drawer in my house with 7 different top end strains of flower, plus concentrates, candies, tinctures, vapes, etc. It has never been a greater time to be alive.
I agree with you that the weed has gotten more potent than the reggies of my day, but now you know what you're getting for the most part. I used to enjoy mushrooms for years, but somewhere along the way, I got what I needed and they're not as exciting anymore.
Maybe you got what you needed from the weed

Yeah that's the thing, I see how much more advanced the options are for consumers, the endless amounts of strains, and absolutely wish I could enjoy it without having said negative effects.
Valid point, maybe it's a simple age old case of a good thing coming to an end, and should leave it at that.

I smoked weed all day every day for almost 20 years and never thought I'd quit.
Something happened along the way and the only time I ever even take a puff these days is when someone pressures me into it and I usually regret it.
I remember a long time ago my boss was mad at me and he said, "One of these days you're going to grow up and quit smoking dope because you just won't want to be high all the time!" and I laughed at him.

yes mid 2000's chronic (what we called sensi in the burbs) was great and like you I also don't know if it's from brain chemistry changes or what, but the last time I smoked after a long break I got a 11% thc indica dominant hybrid and even that was too much. If I ever smoke a bowl again it will be from my own grow and I will try to find some oldschool seeds or something with a good cbd amount an indica heavy autoflower with hot/supersoil set it and forget it!

Yeah I'm the same OP. I still keep a little weed stash just in case, but...I'm pretty much never in the mood anymore. Truth be told it got to the point that for years I only smoked out when I was tripping, and now I'm starting to not even do that anymore (smoke during trips).
I mean one strong pull these days and I'm pretty much toast. And not in a good way.

I still toke on occasion. I remember the days when I felt the need to be high for every occasion. "Aw man, this concert/party/movie would be so much better if I was high". I still enjoy it but do not need it. It is also nice that when I do want to partake, I get blasted on just a little bit.

i have schizophrenia it heightens paranoia and anxiety, some times more in touch with pain so i wonder why i keept going to the dispensary for more purple creeper. it made me feel less delusional and lonely but at the same time fear based effects would make taking the trash out a dillema.

I am 30 and actually just recently started to smoke with any regularity. I never had any desire, then or now, to be high all the time but I have recently started smoking every night. After like 3 days in a row, almost all the weird/uncomfortable side effects that you mentioned diminished significantly. I now smoked nightly for a few weeks and that phase is already over.
However, I definitely know what you mean about not getting excited about it though. Weed has shown itself to be useful for a few occasions only; comedy, TV and sex. Otherwise, it kinda just slows me down and makes it hard to focus.
But who knows, could definitely be changes in the chemistry of the weed. Be interesting for you to get some old school weed and see if the change remains. My bet would be on the dose though... Easy to overdose on these super intense products.

I've been through that man. Smoked all day every day, workin at the clinic. Got to the point where I thought all my friends were talking shit about me in front of my face I was so paranoid. Had to stop completely to clear my head. Life gets a lot easier when you're not stoned all the time.
But then I started missing the magic and inspiration it brings, so I eased back into occasional use. I've learned to avoid it if im in social situations, or maybe MAYBE keep it to just one puff. I can handle more if im just listening to music alone.
Less is more. I'm loving the legal shops around here. Lately ive been getting weed chocolate bars, which are awesome because the dosing is so consistent. 2 little pieces is perfectly manageable, every time. Not getting super fucked up, just lightly uplifted, making the music sound better while I go out for a run.

With how strong it has become, you really need a tolerance to enjoy weed. Or you need a microdose (tiny hit).
With no tolerance I get anxiety, racing thoughts... with a tolerance I get warm fuzzy feelings. I still love weed. I mostly do dabs of rosin.
But I agree it’s lost it’s edge, it’s so normal now. I bet the kids these days don’t even care about it because mom and dad smoke it and you can get it delivered legally.

haha, " back in the day... brick". most of you are so young, heh heh. i started smoking mid 80's, and we all wondered what was up with that brick shit when it came around. but yeh, i think the old weed was " better" by that i mean thc was low enough that it was great to pass around a couple joints in a small group or even to only smoke now and again at partys or if u felt like it you and buddy spend the day burning a 1/2 oz just because. but the shit nowadays?? nah, too much for me. i get way to introverted, stupid ( not in a funny way ) thoughts, and barely even get the munchies! then again, getting falling down drunk isnt as much fun either... maybe im just old now, haha!

These days weed is only enjoyable if you use it frequently.
What you want is the dopamine hit, yes? But with today's weed, there's so much cannabinoid content that the side effects you mentioned- racing heart, racing thoughts, anxiety and paranoia, dry mouth, nasal congestion, intense hunger that is impossible to satisfy- are often so intense as to outweigh the euphoria produced by the dopamine hit.
But when you use frequently your experience of the side effects seems to diminish much more rapidly than than your experience of the euphoria from dopamine hit.

I miss pot! It's been over 2 years since I smoked. I smoked some spice on paper while in jail, but it's just not the same. I can't wait until I'm off parole. I intend to have a fat sack and a pack of wraps for when it's official.
I do miss the the old bricks, at least when it was decent. I had quite a collection of nice looking beans at one point. I used to have fun cleaning up a half a lid at a time.

Haha lids, beans, that is the true old school stuff - Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers era.
I wish that kind of stuff was still around today, it seems MUCH more enjoyable. Like some of the posters above saying, that stuff you could just smoke a bunch and not be totally incapacitated. I'm sure the THC of that bud was 5% or less, but gave a nice smooth buzz, instead of just sending you into instant full on psychosis from one tiny hit.
I tried CBD nugs because I read they were sometimes similar to what pot was in the 60's/70's maybe even 80's but no matter what I tried, it was super harsh on the lungs.
It's interesting looking back in time on weed. I remember seeing a High Times from the 70's or maybe early 80's and the crowning nugs of the year that were highlighted in it looked almost like seaweed or random lawn clippings, very 'natural'.

The corner? Like, of the block?
Clearly weed shops should offer low-THC weed. There is definitely a market for it. Not as big ad the market for the strong dope, obviously, but i know quite a few people who would dabble more if taking 3 hits of pot didn't render them completely useless for 9 hours

Started in 77, I'm not a heavy smoker. I still love it and use it to enhance movies, road trips etc...I think the trick is taking breaks for weeks at a time or even years. I don't get the paranoid feelings anymore. That was when I was younger. I can regulate my weed intake though and will go a week or two without smoking, and when I do I only smoke a few hits at a time. When the medicine works I stop smoking until later or another day. An eighth can last me a month or 2. Fuck all those dabs and concentrates. I use distillate carts to travel with only. They (1/5-1g cart) can last months for me.

Haha I love the Freak Bros. My buddy (an old hippie drummer) turned me onto FFB comics as well as R. Crumb.
The pot was nice, as long as you got some that was still somewhat fresh. I always like the term "roach weed" because it's the bud that got smoked most in joints. It was pretty mellow, but if you had to, you could still function. I used to roll up a few fat ones and go burn cruising for a few hours.
I do like the high-test bud, too. I just have to ease into it or else have a 6-pack handy, because it will give me a good anxiety jolt, right out of the gate. I usually just smoke with a one-hitter, anyway to conserve and because I don't need much to get off.

There’s no shortage of low grade weed at the dispensaries. Just buy the cheapest crap they have.
Once you get used to the taste of really good weed though it’s tough to go back to mids
In high school we used to go to this really bad part of town and meet these gangster kids to buy $20-40 worth of brick weed and yes sometimes I got the corner of the brick
I don’t miss those days at all. That shit was garbage, tasted like shit, made you cough up a lung and barely got you high
I’ll take the strong stuff any day. Learn how to smoke the right amount and it’s very enjoyable.

Sort of. I like being high but I hate actually smoking. Like the act of holding a pipe to my mouth and lighting it with the other hand has just gotten sort of tiring over the years. I'm just sort of getting sick of smoking. It's different now that the prices are so high at dispensaries that I don't even have the luxury of picking and choosing fucking strains. I go to my black market connect and I get $100 Oz. He gives me a sativa and indica and I'm good to go. Sort of reminds me of being in high school in the year 2000 when we didn't get to pick the strains, we just got whatever our dealer had. I will say though that my dealers weed is way better than the shit low potency weed at the dispensaries.
Pretty lame for being in southern California. I liked the dispensaries before legalization when I could get different strains and still pay the same amount for a full ounce. Now, all the eighths are way more expensive than just getting a full ounce so it's not even worth it to try different strains. So fucking stupid.
Yeah, you're right, smoking weed just isn't fun anymore. I love being high but smoking just doesn't have the same appeal anymore.

Try some delivery services. The prices are better
Still not $100 an oz but I got some really nice stuff for $160
I have a friend I’ll buy from for $80~125/oz but as you say what he has is what you get. And sometimes I get sick of whatever that is and I want to pay a little more for something better
Edit: ah I missed the part about splitting up your ounce. Yeah it’s lame that they won’t let you do that. It’s hard to pick the right thing you want a whole ounce of too. But sometimes you get lucky.

Delivery services in my area are even more ridiculous at $180/oZ for half decent bud.

The concentrate isn't the same anymore either. It's not as potent as the shit I used to get pre 2017 and I'm pretty sure my tolerance has not gone up that much.

Weed has been a constant in my life for a long time. I don't really get tired of it, but I need to take short breaks once in a while or I start consuming way too much due to tolerance.

Nope, not tired of cannabis one single bit! Daily user, I keep it to 05.-1g a day and that's my sweet spot. It absolutely compliments my self-employment lifestyle, and I don't even notice on days when I'm so damn busy I forget to smoke (until night)!
Cannabis isn't for everyone, despite arguably being more ubiquitous than LSD, mushies, etc (where I am, anyway).

Hell yeah! Sometimes you'd find jute strings or hair too! It was like extra presents!
I still have a bunch of seeds that must be 20 years old at least that have been sitting in my freezer. Been saving seeds since I started smoking weed. I sat and picked out only the most tiger stripey ones that I felt would germinate. Gotta say....20 years later....most of these seeds will still germinate. You have to wait to see if they're male or female, but God only knows what strains I have because back then it didn't have a name. It was all Reggie or Hydro (Krippy, Sensimilla, Etc.).
Man, that brick weed was mostly stems and seeds, so I haven't added much to that collection in the past few years. It's rare to get anything with seeds anymore. Even the reggies are decent quality now.

I almost got shot trying to get a 10er of that brick weed. I remember how flaky that stuff was. Also remember selling a big corner piece that weighted an ounce. You could have swung it at someone like a weapon and actually hurt them

Don't buy cheap concentrates. I dont know what they're doing but it's not getting me as high either and it tastes like shit.
I swear they're putting some kind of filler in there, its like cellophane or something. The stuff is suspiciously clear and rigid and tastes like chemicals.
You can get a good rosin press for a few hundred bucks and press your own. I don't trust BHO anymore.

I kind of want to not care about it, but the habit is too strong. Although i've just run out yesterday and have just ordered more but might not get it til after Christmas So probably just enough time to kick the habit before the carts turn up

Strong weed is dysphoric for me now, though taking as many hits as possible in 5-10 minutes then shutting the lights and turning up the music is a pretty damn intense psychedelic experience for me, and the shorter duration is great for when I don’t want a full mushy/lsd trip but need that kick in the ass. The paranoia and terror at first is wild.
I grew my own strain that was only like 5-10% thc and lots of CBD and it was fantastic though. Could smoke a joint to myself and just be clear headed and buzzing, all smiley and shit

when i used to get high on medical grade marijuana i would adjust my blinds slowly because i felt people were looking in at me and i also hated where i was living, never again will be an aprtment, for some reason i was real shy and struggled with it. but getting high is anti=pain strains and calming to paranoia deeep enough into delusional beliefs, like people watching me when they're not, and feeling very lonely. reduced voices to a friendly level etc. i would also say i would get into panic that someones gonna smell the skunk weed and call the cops on me. this has happened before in a big field, officer shows up, i empty my pockets , had some pot, a piece, etc, pipe but he asked if i was high on my meds and i said yes. told me to move on. lol. got the euphoric effect got kind of addicive more than negative signs.

I don't get cheap concentrates. I'm in California, they all are required to be tested before put on the shelves. I just think they use shittier quality weed nowadays than they did before 2017.
As for that brick weed back in the 90s, I remember one time I bought an ounce for $20. it was so hard I couldn't even break it up to smoke any so I put it in a bag with a few huge pieces of orange peel which gave it just enough moisture to break apart easily. Shit. I remember just leaving the orange peels in there for a few days until the brick opened up.
I remember back in the day there was either Reggie or chronic. if you knew the right people you could get some really good quality Reggie which was really similar to low-grade chronic. You saved a lot of money doing that and it got you just as high as The chronic.

The motto back then for our group was if it's brown turn it down, if it's green it's good. I've had seedy weed that was killer diller.
 I plan on getting a greenhouse the 1st of next year before spring or by early spring. I'm growing and I plan on never buying weed again.

Yep I remember the regs as we called it, that was always the best deal. And so many $20 grams of chronic, what a waste of money.
I had some weird shatter a dispensary gave me recently for free when I bought an ounce. It tasted like chemicals. I did one dab and put it away, it was gross. It’s super clear and brittle and it’s piss-yellow. It made me suspicious of cheap grams of shatter.

I feel like in the late 2000's, 20 a gram was super common lol. I totally forgot about that. A gram would somehow last me like three days I have no fucking idea how I did that lol.

When I was 14 a gram of chronic lasted me about 3-4 days. All I needed was 3 hits. A gram is what I smoke per session now.
$20 a gram was the standard for chronic. Then it was $50 for an eighth, and $100 for a quarter. $150 for a half and $300 for a full oz.

A friend came over last year to smoke some DMT. Afterwards he asked if he could buy a gram of weed. I grabbed some good stuff another friend had grown and was like “idk I guess that’ll be like $25.”
Had no idea weed was so cheap now, last time I bought any from a dealer was like 15 years ago and homegrown headies was always $25/g. Haven’t heard from that friend since, guess I ripped him off

I think a lot of the time when people used to smoke weed a lot in their youth they probably had less stress from the types of jobs they worked and less general stress. Life was easier sort of. So when people come back to weed after maybe a long break, they kind of forget that good bud can blow you away with no tolerance to it

Good point here too. In my heaviest smoking days, I generally felt pretty care free about mostly everything, I never thought about the future or had much anxiety about anything at all. There were little to no worries, but it may just have been because I was pretty young and that goes along with it. Since then, life has changed so much.
So many crazy things have happened since then, and I have way more anxiety about everything in general. It may be a biological thing, as some days, I can barely handle caffeine anymore without having a panic attack.

Yeah you ripped him off. You should have given him minimum 2 grams. Even when I was in high school I never paid more than $20 a gram. I remember when I found out I can ask for a “half eighth” and get 1.7 for $25.

So where I live, weed is sold by the government. And you can get the THC and CBD percentages right off the damn label. They mail it straight to your door. High quality stuff, and it's all organised like a curated library by strength, flavor, indica, sativa, thc, cbd.
I've been getting into the super high THC sativas, you only need a tiny joint , and it's basically a psychedelic experience. I treat it as such and only smoke like once very couple of months, and it's a special event.
Strange times new times. I think people are using weed much better now that it's legal here? or at lest less people are getting their lives ruined by the law. Oddly enough, you aren't allowed to grow (of fucking course)...

Same here.
For many years that was my standard weekly smoke, "half eighth" 1.7g for $25 is what I would buy once a week and it would last me all week long.
And a "dub"/$20 would be a mere gram (tho usually 1.1g or 1.2g).
That was back around 2005 to 2009-ish.....The prices back then were way higher than they are now, but the quality back then was ridiculously dank! The weed I was getting back around those years was super dank and much better quality than pretty much everything that I've seen from stores and on the street market over the past 5 years.
The quality of most of the cannabis in my region (california) has gone down hill a lot over the years...Majority of it is mediocre crap that lacks flavor and it isn't sticky/oily at all.
Weed should be resinous & oily/greasy and should leave a thick oily coat of flavor on the tongue/in the mouth, I rarely ever see weed like that these days unless I grow it myself.
In regards to the topic of the OP....I've been a daily smoker for 10+ years now and I still enjoy the herb. I adore this plant, it is so much more to me than just a "drug", it's become woven into and part of my daily life and I look forward to growing the plant every year for many years to come.
There's always something to look forward to when growing this plant...Excitement from seeing the seeds germinate, to seeing the plants grow up rapidly during early summer, to seeing them transition to flowering and start to form buds, to getting to smell all the unique mouth watering aromas of the buds every morning and how the aroma/essence becomes more complex as the plant matures, getting to see the buds swell up and glisten & sparkle in the sunlight, getting to see the plant change colors during the fall, getting to harvest the plant and having buds larger than my arm, getting to see how the aroma/essence changes as the buds cure, finally being able to smoke the buds and share them with friends and family and strangers, then making various edibles and infused oils, then getting to make hash...then making plans for the next year and looking forward to doing it all over again, learning more and improving with each passing year.
I thoroughly love & adore this plant . Maybe things will change some years down the road for me, but at the moment I see myself working with this plant until the day I die.

Strange times new times. I think people are using weed much better now that it's legal here? or at lest less people are getting their lives ruined by the law. Oddly enough, you aren't allowed to grow (of fucking course)...
My experience with legal weed is pretty crappy. The illegal market is far cheaper still and has better products though I haven't been a regular smoker for 6 months or something.
You must live in Quebec cause I'm pretty sure it's the only province that had the balls to tell people they can't grow their own after they gave people criminal records for decades for possessing a plant and still had the audacity to ass fuck ya'll when they legalized and tell you you can only buy it from corporations. If there is other provinces who pulled that stunt, well that sucks but I think quebec is the only one??
I don't smoke weed these days. I stopped cause I was getting too much paranoia and the last time I smoked some weed I had a full blown psychedelic experience that lasted like 30 minutes. Visuals and everything. Auditory hallucinations. It was a bit fuckin crazy. I've had less intense acid trips 
And it was stuff I grew myself in the backyard I really don't think the THC is that high, maybe 10-15%

Bingo, and same here. You know weed, it's a real drug.
It IS strange that they won't let us grow. And look at how hard the gov is pushing weed now. It's nuts. We are the most 'socialist' province, so it makes sense to try and earn tax dollars. The hypocrisy is very real. A lot of people just stick to the illegal market. I still like it occasionally, but I expect to be tripping kind of hard, and don't get the same clarity that psychedelics bring me. Here check out our government's website, it's wild if you're into weed : https://www.sqdc.ca/en-CA/
As a kid growing up I'd be on cannabis culture all the time, now those very same strains I'd read about are just *available* now. There's even a dude at the store to help match you with weed to fit your desired experience. Amazing!

Dislike is a strong word, but it's definitely not as interesting as it was 2 years ago when I started. It's kind of take it or leave it for me at this point. I mainly only keep it around as an optional additive to other psychs and things.
Also I think recently the weed has started to ramp up my baseline anxiety for non-weed trips, so maybe that's a sign to put it away for a while. That could just be from too-high edible doses though, not the cannabis per se

Same here.
For many years that was my standard weekly smoke, "half eighth" 1.7g for $25 is what I would buy once a week and it would last me all week long.
And a "dub"/$20 would be a mere gram (tho usually 1.1g or 1.2g).
I have never heard of a half eighth before. "Half quarter" for an eighth is a common term in Ontario though.

Half eighth is a term mostly made up by broke potheads using the illegal black market trying to take advantage of wholesale pricing on small deals by describing small amounts in terms of larger amounts. It often worked for me when i was a pothead, but some dealers werent having that shit

Lol, I guess that’s right, except I wouldn’t call an eighth “wholesale pricing”, that’s still a relatively small bag. I’d say a $20 gram is a ripoff, and I’d say my dealers knew it too so nobody was complaining.

Here a half quarter would have pretty much always been a worse price per gram than a quarter, but better than single grams if the dealer sold those. Although I guess if you split on a quarter with a friend you'd get a half quarter for half the price of a quarter.

I wonder if anyone who no longer enjoys weed, or doesn't enjoy it as much as they once did, has reasons for feeling so beyond anxiety and paranoia. To me those are side effects that have always been present with heavy usage, especially coming back after a tolerance break, but the main gripe seems to fall around those side effects. Honestly I still enjoy weed a lot, I've been a regular smoker since I was a teenager and while I just recently stopped smoking daily, I enjoy it just as much when i can. Unfortunately i can't smoke now, but I will enjoy it when I can again.

I don't know what kind of dealers you guys had back in the day but when I was getting half eighths they only gave me 1.5g. But it was still a way better deal than just a gram. And what the fuck is a half quarter? That's the same thing as an eighth. Where I grew up in San Diego county, there was no difference of price between an eighth and a quarter unless you were friends with a really good dealer that gave you a deal for $80 or $90. but yeah back in the day a quarter was $100 standard at least for southern California area.
For me, buying weed is not as exciting as it used to be because I don't have access to all those millions of strains that I used to have access to prior to California legalization of 2017 and the budtenders have no excitement anymore. The dispensaries are all a bunch of corporate shills now. It's like the same thing as going to a corporate grocery store like Vons or Ralphs or anything like that. And I hate going to the grocery stores. I just feel like the whole experience in buying weed And getting weed has gone down the toilet. The budtenders used to be really helpful before 2017 but now they don't know shit about strains (recommending a sativa when I specifically ask for a fucking indica), and they all act like they have a million better things to do than help you. Fuck that mentality.
I picked up 2 ounces from my dealer today for $200. We were talking about how shitty the weed quality has gotten at the dispensaries.

My state is not even legal yet. I love Marijuana but I keep having such a hard time finding it! I don’t know why but my state is fighting as hard as it can to be one of the last USA states to legalize Marijuana and it really frustrates me. I wish it was legalized here so badly. People in other states are not better than me so it makes absolutely no sense why it would be legal in their state but not in mine. It’s just unfair and I don’t understand it.

Could be a tolerance thing since you don't smoke very often anymore that on top of weed being much stronger these days your getting 100x magnified effects. I suggest smoking fat blunts to get your body used to the effects again.

For me it was the opposite, weed is mostly sativa here so I'd have to smoke veeery little to enjoy it or I'd be feeling paranoid about being caught, and my mind would be racing. Now that I think back on it, I'm not sure why I thought it was worth it, but now that I can access well grown stuff it relaxes me more, is more enjoyable and lasts me forever.
It's probably also that my anxiety has diminished recently, as well as being able to get a hold of super consistent edibles. I've always loved edibles since they always feel more relaxing to me if I dose them right, but the problem was dosing them right. Was rarely able to do that right.

Shivs has a point here. I mean, there's medical use and you can go anywhere and get a card for $100 bucks, but you can't have a medical card and own a firearm at the same time. I recently had to have a debate with myself on if I want a firearm or medical marijuana more. I went with the legal firearm. If they catch you with an ounce of weed, it's a $100 fine, but if they catch you with some street gun, that's a much bigger problem to fix.

This is no longer true in most places. You can own guns and have a "recommendation" from a doctor to use cannabis. In fact my doctor specifically mentioned how the rec would not in any way mess with a concealed carry permit. The local police confirmed this. Just like any other medication. In most places you can carry both on your person.
The federal background check asks if you are "an unlawful user of". If you are a lawful user then nobody can violate your constitutional right to bear arms.

As I understand, Federal law goes here and marijuana is still illegal on a Federal level. So even though you’re legal in your state with a medical card, it’s still a Schedule 1 drug federally. Maybe this will change now with the MORE Act.

Think tolerance and stress levels definitely play a big part as others have said. Been smoking about 7 years. Gotta agree paranoia and endless munchies suck when your tolerance is low. Plus I am sub par even when my tolerance is "normal". I had to quit smoking due to an issue with my lungs so I couldn't smoke if I wanted to. Last I had was some hash pressed rosin.
I hate that weed has been commodified so greatly because a lot of love has been lost. I like it being legal but there's so much GMO crap going around, not to mention the prices... Shits a scam. I've also noticed a lot of stoners use it as an escape from life. Like their sphere of consciousness is so small its not funny.

This is more or less how I recall it! 2008-2010ish; what a weird period, lmao.

I loved going to dispensaries in 2016. I always tried new strains every week. One of my favorites which you will probably never ever fucking find was Russian glue and Redbull. Paris og was the best indica I've ever smoked in my entire life and it's rare as fuck. You could look at, touch, and smell anything you wanted. The budtenders were a lot more helpful and a lot more patient. It wasn't all corporatized and it sort of had one of those dirty small porn shop type of vibes to it that I totally digged. Like it sort of made me feel like I was going someplace dirty and some place I shouldn't be going to but I fucking loved it. I remember having to ring the doorbell and then get let in. Nowadays the dispensaries are like fucking mall boutiques. The vibe is completely different. Some of the security guards and cops were really cool too. The security guards they have now are a bunch of squares.

Yea.. not being able to even see what you're getting cuz it's all prepackaged is kinda a bummer.. But, having been a budtender, I bet it's nice to not have every single person all day ask for an extra point every time you're weighing out 
I like the legal shop near me. 30% tax (sales+state+local) is insane, but $20 eighths are awesome.

I learned that if I found the really really good dispensaries and went there and always had the same budtenders helping me they would always hook me up fat with an extra point or two. but you need to create a good rapport like be nice to them and talk to them and be chill with them because any random budtender would not just hook you up with an extra point or two.
You can't blame people though. I mean who here has never had a dealer that hooked them up with an extra point or two at some point in their lives? so they sort of have the assumption that maybe you can get away with hooking them up a little fat?

I hated when they would give me exactly .000 of a gram. A couple times they would be fucking literally sitting there picking off the tiniest pieces of trim leaf to make it read to exactly 1.000 or 3.500 or whatever.000 grams. Like fuck just give me the whole nugg. Taking their sweet ass time to pick off a fucking milligram or fucking microgram. Jesus Christ.

Yea that's lame, 'specially cuz there is likely a stem in there that weighs twice as much. But that is the sign of the corporate transition... Our shop got bought out.. moved to a new location. At the end of my shift I rolled up a joint out of the bit of shake and scrap left over from the day -common practice under the old management. I got fired the next day.

That's what's kinda got me sad about the upcoming legalization here in Mexico. The law says it's supposed to help rural farmers but they require a tracking chain from seed to bag and there's no way some rural farmer who makes 5 USD a day is going to be able to pay that setup. Hopefully it'll change, since there was another extension on the time it'll take to pass the bill to supposedly iron out more details.
TBH I think US and Canadian companies are gonna swoop in and take up most of the market with cheap but and once they kill off most of the competition, lower prices and after they've killed off competition, lower quality.

I was getting $25 eighths from a buddy who always had dynamite bud. I'd get paid, pick up a case (24 pack) of Old Mill, swing over and pick up a half ounce for $80, go home and pack my dugout to keep in my pocket, then head up to the bar. Life was beautiful at that time.

I am not aware of any cannabis strains that are considered GMO/genetically modified.
I'm pretty certain all strains of cannabis these days are the result of breeding/crossing various genetics, and not actually the result of tinkering with the genetics/code directly.
Unless you're talking specifically about the strain "GMO" (which is short for "Garlic, Mushroom, Onion" ...It's a cross between Chem Dawg & GSC).
But I do hear what you're getting at and where you're coming from....The overall quality of most of the flower out there has gone down over the years and the prices/taxes inside stores are ridiculous.
I just remember all of the herb in my area back around 2005 to 2010 being super high quality stuff...Extremely loud/pungent aroma. The buds were actually resinous and sticky & oily & greasy, breaking up a bud would have one's fingers totally gummed up & sticky with resin or they'd be coated with a sheen of oil/grease, and the buds had tons of flavor that would coat one's mouth and would last all the way through a joint.
These days most weed I cross paths with doesn't have much of a "loud" pungent aroma (nothing like it used to). I rarely ever come across herb that is actually resinous and sticky/oily/greasy (unless I grow it myself), even buds that look completely frosted with resin aren't sticky or oily at all. And finding some herb with good rich flavor is super rare for me these days.

Lynnch said: Yea.. not being able to even see what you're getting cuz it's all prepackaged is kinda a bummer..
I hate that in California it has to be pre-packaged and that I'm not able to see or smell the herb before purchase.
It's so fucking stupid for so many different reasons.
I select herb based damn near solely on aroma alone, aroma is a key characteristic I use for judging and selecting the flower I want to smoke.
At the very least I want to see the herb, but with most packaging it's impossible to get a good look at the herb.
Also, most stores I've been to in California won't even allow me to hold or touch the package until after it has been purchased. As if I'm going to grab it out of their hands and run out the door with it . The person at the register has to hold the package the entire time and I'm not even allowed to touch it, so I can't even get a good look at the package either before purchase .
The entire system/framework of legal cannabis in California is fucking retarded.
So I grow my own...turns out better than most of what I see on the "black market" these days and certainly better than most of the crap sold in stores. And tremendously cheaper, costs me less than $1 a gram.

There's a brand called "Pacific Stone." They sell prepackaged flower. NOTHING they sell is more than 19% thc. The STANDARD for thc has been 20% at the BARE minimum ever since the 90s/early 2000s. The flower looks and smells pretty but it doesn't get you baked.
How can it be 2020 yet these weed growers are only producing 10%-19% bud???? Are they purposefully growing low potency weed for some reason?

Some people have had recreational marijuana legal in their state for so many years that they are getting tired of it, and yet in my State Recreational Marijuana is not yet legalized. Such a different polar opposite of the extremes. I want it legalized so badly and some people are bored of it already. The extreme of the exact opposites. Such extreme differences between me and OP. We are so extremely different people.

it will be constantly debated by scientists, I dont want GMO weed tho, even if the genes are from weed.
There is a cannabis hormone that increases THC production, im fine with that.

Right? My state is like that, as well. The medical card holders can't even buy bud from the dispensaries. It's stupid and it pisses me off.

"Dubs" and "bricks"  Takes me back.....
I've been smoking since the mid nineties and recently I've been getting bored with it. I don't feel like I'm getting really high anymore. Maybe it is because the THC is so much the focus and the other cannabinoids get bred out. I don't know. But I am always on the hunt for landrace strains to grow for those 'other' beneficial cannabinoids. I got some old seeds (I think Mexican sativa from the 80's) from my aunt but they weren't stored properly and I haven't had any success germinating them. I put a few in the freezer to see if they'd wake up, but to no avail.
Maybe my tolerance is too high. I guess I'll never know

How can it be 2020 yet these weed growers are only producing 10%-19% bud???? Are they purposefully growing low potency weed for some reason?
TBH...back towards the end of this last summer and early fall when I had ran out of the flower I grew the previous summer, that "Pacific Stone" brand is what I was getting for a little while for some cheap smoke.
I, and the stores I purchase it from, consider that brand to be bottom shelf weed or damn near bottom shelf, it's the lowest priced stuff they carry...But I was getting it for $16 an 8th out the door ($12 before tax), and for that price I found it to be decent weed (at least the strains I got and the "batch" that I got were decent, tho I found their "Sour" to be garbage). Their "Orange" was pretty good and so was their "Banjo", Wedding Cake, Glue, & Sherb.
I don't really get hung up on the THC percentage too much. A true 15% to 20% weed can still get me pretty stoned, I feel that a lot of THC % numbers are inflated & exaggerated. The lowest I've seen & smoked from a store was 12%, it was some "Lemon Tree" if I remember correctly, and it still got me high...I've had 14%/16% weed get me as high if not higher than stuff that was labeled 22%/24%, and 20% weed get me as high or higher than stuff that was tested at 27%+....I hear ya tho, there's been a few times I've got herb from the store and it felt like it had very little potency to it regardless of what the # on the label said.
That brand, and another brand called "Elyon", at around $15 to $20 out the door for an 8th are actually pretty alright. I talk a lot of doo-doo on the legal market and I have my reasons, but at that price-point I found those brands to have decent quality flower most of the time during the couple months I had to buy from a store...But I have also seen those brands priced around $20 to $30+ per 8th at some stores which I feel is a bit overpriced for what one is getting.

Interesting...I actually wasn't aware of that being a thing that could be done lol.
I'm not aware of any strains that were developed that way but from my very short bit of reading about it it does seem like some folks have toyed around with it.

I think you and some others may be misunderstanding my lack of interest. The root of the disinterest and eventual boredom doesn't have anything to do with tired of state legalization, over saturation exposure or anything like that.
My lack of interest stems directly from the immediate physical and mental effects i've gotten in the past few years. Every time i've smoked, it's been a horrible experience. Being high makes now just me feel absolutely insane and/or paranoid, and not relaxed and chill like it used too.
Weed consumption, in some form was a really big part of my 'identity' for many years, not in a Bob Marley Hot Topic potleaf poster way, but something that I loved for many years, and could always enjoy and somewhere along the line it stopped working like that.
I am attributing it to either sky high THC levels, or just change in brain chemistry. Who knows. I think it be great if I could get those original feelings again, but it may not happen.
Some suggest the tolerance thing (that now you have to build up to get the good effects), but I recently talked to a close friend about this and he said pretty much the same thing happened to him (negative effects), even with a tolerance.
I figured a market that produced low to very low THC strains would be super popular in today's climate, or at least more common than what it is. like the 'light beer' or 'sessionable' of weed, maybe not? Weed that gives you a nice buzz, but doesn't send you into a full on psychedelic mind fuck after 2 hits.

Well I for one am shooting for psychedelicness with weed.
My biggest paranoid freak moments have directly preceded my best weed highs/ weed feelings.
It seems really bad and really good actually arent all that far apart.

@Rumble I've been in that situation before, like full panic attack mode. It happened the first time a buddy smoked me up with some Colorado medical back in 2012. My tolerance was at ground level and I took 3 bonghits and was fucked. That's why I stick to one-hitters because I can moderate my dose better. The bud today jumps on you with a vengeance. Even sticking with one toke I usually need a few beers to keep from getting paranoid when I start up after a break from it.

Before I found my black market dealer I was getting ounces of Pacific stone for $120 before taxes and about $140 after taxes. It was the only fucking weed in the dispensary that was the least expensive but still tasted good. There is this other brand called Eighth Brothers for the same price but their weed is very horribly cured and it makes me cough a lot because it is too harsh. Again, like, how can it be 2020 and people are still not curing the bud that they grow correctly? What the fuck reality are potheads living in nowadays? Like are you serious you think you can grow fucking weed and then do the shittiest job curing it so it makes you fucking cough like hell and you think you can sell that and profit off of it? What the fuck. Really pisses me off.
I bought that eighth brother shit one time and then the next time I went to that dispensary I spoke with the manager and I told him that they shouldn't be selling horribly cured bud that just makes you cough a lot. He gave me a good discount on the next ounce that I bought from Pacific Stone.
The forbidden fruit from Pacific stone is the 10% bullshit. I used to not worry about THC percentage because all the bud was pretty good before 2017 but after all this packaging and shit I've been paying more attention to percentages and it really does make a difference. It really needs to be at least 15%. Any lower than that and you might get high but the high will not last more than an hour. Anything lower than 20% is not going to get me baked. I like anywhere between 20 to 25% THC. Any higher than that and the high is too cerebral and energetic.

I think if people don't want to get "too high" they should just SMOKE LESS. Gee, what a concept. Like if you know your tolerance is low, start with 1 or 2 small hits and wait 5 minutes. You don't need big hits like you're sucking a god damn dick.

Maybe GMO isn't the right word because you're right all strains are technically GMO. My point being that the plants are being forced to produce insane yields with unnaturally big/frosty nugs in a short period of time. Rarely come across oily/smelly buds from dispo. not to mention they just look off. Used to buy bulk from some organic hippie growers out in the woods and man I've never seen bud like that again after I lost contact. Had this pineapple GG that looked turquoise smelled like a dead skunk and stuck to the top of a big ass cheese pops lookin' jar. Like defied gravity type of shit lol

There is a lot of grey area. Technically the Fed is supposed to honor local law in those places. If there is a law allowing the use of cannabis then the Fed can't (usually) enforce their contradicting law. In some places people who work in the "cannabis industry" are encouraged by local law enforcement to apply for CCW permits (where needed) as they are at a "higher risk" lol.

This seems promising for complete legalization. Cannabis needs to be completely free from ANY laws period.
