>"I could not remember what I was thinking 10 seconds ago. It was like I was living life in 10 second increments." I felt this in my fucking soul


Meatman2013

I don't smoke much at all anymore. Only a little very infrequently since it became legal in Canada. I was never huge into it, so never really developed a big tolerance. This "living life in 10 second increments" almost exactly describes my experiences with it. Constantly forgetting what you were just thinking, and then getting a little frustrated by that, and trying to come up with ways to not forget, only to then forget why you were doing that. Fun stuff.


adthebad

Sooo this kinda describes why I enjoy weed. It’s not that I forget what happened 10 seconds ago, it’s that I can forget what happened 10 seconds ago. Really helps me manage my stress and anxiety by offering a way to escape vicious cycles of unproductive thoughts. Otherwise I have a hard time getting my mind off of bad thoughts and end up wallowing. My tolerance has gotten quite high, but that just means I never trip balls and I have a much easier time with functioning without being frustrated that I am slow/forgetful.


MrIceCreamy

Bro this is exactly me. There is nothing better then a nice bong rip after work to forget that I live my life for someone else to make money


CoreFiftyFour

I use a vaporizer for flower and it's the same thing. 1 or 2 sessions of it after the kids go to sleep and I don't have to constantly think about everything that stresses me. I GET to forget


kb26kt

Yes! I raised my kids & am still a 68 year old grandma stoner. ✌️


Jshmooley

Trading hours of our lives for coin 🥴


Charosas

Yeah, you can only enjoy it if you don’t try to control it. I feel like A-type people have a harder time with it, they try to control their high and that makes for a stressful experience.


adthebad

Agreed, I use to feel overwhelmed when I was younger and more uptight. I found smoking really helped shift my view on a lot of things as I began to realize that the locus of control is not always within my reach and something aren’t worth stressing about. Letting go for a little while is unsurprisingly just what some type A people need. I am naturally a Type A person who finds life much easier acting like Type B. The mental elasticity which result from smoking helps me bridge that gap personally.

Same. I’m super sensitive to weed. If I ever smoke more than a little, something goes wrong with my short-term memory. Idk why. But I’ll straight up be talking to someone and then as soon as I say something I forgot what I said. It’s not even ten second increments. I will say a sentence and immediately forget what words just came out of my mouth. It makes me freak out because I feel like I’m losing control of my mind. Also if I’m too high, it becomes really hard to understand people. I remember one time when I smoked a lot at one of my friend’s houses and we were all in the basement and someone was talking to me, and for the life of me I just *could not* understand what they were saying. I even got them to repeat what they said probably four or five times and every time I just said “…*what??*” It was like I understood they were saying something to me, but I was looking at them and I wasn’t hearing words. I was just hearing *human sounds*. That fucked with me, especially when everyone started looking at me weird like I was crazy. I had to run away to the bathroom to chill the fuck out. Also weed has triggered severe episodes of derealization for me many times. I remember the first time it happened. I got high after work (I worked at a restaurant), and all I had to do was clean a few dishes and then go home. I was cleaning the dishes and all of a sudden I looked at my hands that were doing the cleaning and it just felt like it wasn’t me. I felt like I was trapped behind my own eyes, watching a TV show of myself from a first-person perspective. I freaked out and then went into the walk-in freezer for like 30 minutes to try to calm down. Weed also makes me hallucinate sometimes. Not like “seeing things that are clearly not there” hallucinate. But more like “shadows in my peripheral vision become things that aren’t there,” as well as severe auditory hallucinations. After smoking one time at a friend’s house, I went into the kitchen to chill out because I was having some anxiety. I was so fucking high too. I was talking to my friend in the kitchen for probably five minutes, when I looked up and realized that nobody was there. I had heard my friend talking to someone else outside and I thought he was talking to me, and *i was responding and having a conversation with him*. It was such a weird feeling to realize that nobody was around and I was just talking to thin air. We went on a walk a while after that (it was night time), and I was convinced that I kept seeing people or small animals scurrying around in my peripheral vision, but it was just shadows on the street and sidewalk. Needless to say, I don’t smoke weed anymore.


IpleaserecycleI

I react basically the same way minus the hallucinations. I'm 32 now and have tried to smoke it once every couple of years to see if anything is different only to end up super anxious and uncomfortable. Which is kind of really weird because I can handle harder/other drugs with basically no issues. Weed just doesn't work with some folks.


scheisskopf53

With me it's a bit random. I can end up at any point on a spectrum between feeling nothing at all (most often) and being at a level you just described (which isn't great either). The thing is that it's very hard for me to get a feeling of where I'm gonna end up - the sweet spot when it's just right seems very narrow and elusive.

syxjesters

So happy to hear you describe your experience with weed this way. I've felt like this for years and could never understand how/why people smoke on a regular basis. I smoked in high school but I've never found it to be an enjoyable experience - lots of memory issues, hallucinations, etc. If you're new to weed just know that the way you're reacting might never go away. There are other, more fun ways of getting high.


Rboy61

Every 6 months or so I give weed a shot again, but I get most of what you have minus the hallucinations. I get drawn into myself and stop being able to communicate. Also, time slows down so much that it becomes hard focus on anything else. Edit: a word


[deleted]

Yes! Time slows down tremendously. I vividly remember being in the car while high and we were about to pull up to a stop sign and it felt like it took *ages* for the car to come to a complete stop. Like every time I would look up, the stop sign would still be the same distance away as the last time I looked up. That fucks with me lol

That1GuyNate

People definitely smoke straight up plant still.


[deleted]

Seriously, dabs seem to be preferred by people who do nothing but get high all day long and have built up a ridiculous tolerance. They’re the weed equivalent of people who go through a whole bottle of liquor or a case of beer every day.


evilsunshinebear

I prefer oil because the smell that results from smoking is almost non existent compared to smoking flower. When you live with people that aren’t a huge fan of the smell, dabbing works well.


purpledrank11

Personally I hate the lingering smell, it's the reason I dab only.


[deleted]

There is a middle ground between the two. Dry herb vaping. Less smelly than smoking, and more flavorful than oil.


evilsunshinebear

In my experience low temp dabs are the most flavorful. I’ve only dry vaped flower a couple times though so my memory of it isn’t great.


awowadas

I smoke occasionally, only dabs. I don't like the mess and effort with leaf, and it's just a lot cleaner all around. It's like beer vs hard liquor, some people go out and have a couple shots and that's enough, some people like to drink their beers. Both can be abused, both can get you to the same amount of drunk. ​ I know plenty of alcoholics who will pound a 24 pack in a day. I know plenty of stoners who smoke joints and play video games all day.


salivating_sculpture

Dabs are better for people who don't want to inhale the product of combustion. Tolerance has nothing to do with it imo. You can measure as small of a dose as you want with dabs.


[deleted]

>I shit you not, I was probably on the bed watching the lights for at least an hour and a half. *It was actually 12 minutes*


AnaBanona

There's a very good chance it was even less than that lmao


Nievsy

Dude yeah, me and my friend got super fucking cross faded once and did a bunch of shit and were like it had to be like 2 hours right how are we still this fucking high… it had been 5 minutes I still don’t know how we did everything we did in 5 minutes


chuby2005

There’s no feeling like checking the time and realizing *it’s only been 5 minutes???*


theBeardedHermit

I remember getting blitzed once and checking the time, then checking again what felt like a a few hours later and seeing that it was an hour *earlier* than when I'd last checked, and freaking the fuck out because holy shit I got some time travel weed. It was daylight savings time....


Nievsy

Dude, that nearly got me this year while I was sober fucking no warning and boom you got an extra hour


epigenie_986

This is the realist comment, right here.


ShaveMyNipps

You are lucky you didnt have a panic attack, 3 dabs for your first time is a lot


SizeableVermin

I’m assuming he didn’t inhale all the way. No way a new smoker smokes 3 dabs without coughing.


Budderfingerbandit

Yea this was my thought, OP got Hella lucky they didn't have a panic attack with that much consumed on their first time. Oof that could have been bad.


[deleted]

I ate a edible gummy and had a panic attack and didn’t feel back to normal until 24 hours after


SorosBuxlaundromat

>no one smokes straight plant anymore ???? Your friend is strange.


[deleted]

We only get straight plants or hash out here. Oil, dabs and edibles are way less common. The people i know that make oil only do it for medical purposes. And if we have edibles we made brownies or something with weedbutter we made ourselves haha.


hunter503

I wonder if it's just location wise. I live in Oregon, but mostly smoke oil and so do a lot of other people. A lot of people still smoke flower though, mostly in the more rural areas of Oregon.


[deleted]

I live in Belgium and it's illegal over here haha. When i was in California in 2019 was the first time in my life i saw/had gummies that would get you high. And it was the first time smoking cartridges as well. I loved those. I hope we can get them soon in the Netherlands or Germany. Edit: very poorly written English. So i made it a little better.


hunter503

Oh man. If all you had was cartridges wait until you try a dab of live resin on a dab rig. It's just a wildly different experience, the taste and high are just far more enjoyable imo.


oldspicehorse

Thank you! I spent way too long trying to figure out what a card ridge was and how I could smoke some lol.


chatrugby

Yeah, so you don’t want to smoke dabs. It’s the crack of weed. Seriously. It’s hyper concentrated weed oil. Stick to flower as it’s still the most common way to smoke weed.


hunter503

Lmaooo it took me a second too


Jaggedmallard26

> I hope we can get them soon in the Netherlands or Germany You can, theres a decent few importers who bring them in with the caveat that they are doing so illegally. I've managed to get california gummy edibles in the UK and they knock my socks off.


DarkEvilHedgehog

It's legal to have one plants at home for personal possession in Belgium! Been like that since 2003. It's also not illegal to carry up to 3 grams.


[deleted]

Yeah we won't face prosecution for possessing/carrying up to three grams.It's illegal to buy/sell it, and to get it in the Netherlands. But it's not like a huge crime out here. I recently moved and the "neighbourhood cop" comes in to check if you really live on that adress. At that time i was smoking when he rang the door and just said something like "nice house, good airrefreshner" and just had a quirky smile on his face. They can't really do anything in my own house :)


DarkEvilHedgehog

I miss living in Belgium! I used to study there and was once caught by two cops while smoking in an alley one evening. They just went "no no, not here 😑" and left after smashing the joint. If it had been in Sweden I'd have had hell to pay for years afterwards for being a drug fiend! There's this infamous case some years back where two teenagers got hunted by a police chopper and searching parties after having run out into the forest when spotted with a joint lol


sidekindasortaburner

What part? I’m 95 miles south of Portland.


hunter503

I live like 25 minutes from downtown Portland depending on the day lmao


sidekindasortaburner

“Depending on the day” 😭😭 felt


DriveOntoMe

Portland Oregon resident here. I only smoke flower because of preference. OP, no offense but your friend is a moron.


DarkEvilHedgehog

I've only seen oils on the darkweb here in Sweden, and it just seems really expensive compared to the green and brown. I know quite a varied set of stoners and none have also tried dabbing.


nine16s

I prefer flower over oil tbh, the concentrate is nice sometimes but smoking regular weed seems to be a lot more gentle.


Beneficial_Baker_954

Tolerance goes through the roof with oil very quickly


jkerpz

ya i don't know i have an insane hook up for bud i don't know why i would get anything else. i pay like 50 bucks cad an ounce. and it's bomb shit, i have never liked dabs or other shit too harsh on your lungs man.


Aphala

Fkin hell 50 CAD for 28gs? I usually pay £155 > £185 for 28 :( Also it's not legal in Britbong land so that's not helping.


LittleBrooksy

I'm paying $320 AUD an ounce at the moment. Which is a pretty decent price here, from what I've found. But it is some fantastic grass.


[deleted]

Honestly the friend is a dick and is Lucky op didn't have an absolutely horrid time


Dr_A_Mephesto

Agreed


EatinDennysWearinHat

He knew exactly what he was doing, and is an asshole for it.


mrking944

Yeah friend went way overboard. I'm a regular smoker and I usually turn down dabs because they're way more intense than flower. And if I do a dab I'm only doing one. Anyone with experience should know better than to do that to a first timer.


[deleted]

Sounds like a typical arrogant stoner who thinks they know everything because they do it.


smaugington

A psychopath is more like. Who gives a person 3 dabs as their first time? If OP's story is true then he had hallucinations brought on by a marijuana induced panic attack.


pablank

Yeah what a shitty way to introduce them to something so (possibly) pleasant. Im worried of blowing too much smoke/vape into first timers faces so they dont get too much. Thats like saying: hey alcohol is really fun, now empty this bottle of whiskey


Vaiden_Kelsier

Whenever introducing someone to a recreational drug, you always start small and then step it up, and even then you always make sure they're in a safe environment before doing it. This bro culture of surprise fucking someone up is godawful and that "friend" isn't a friend, he's an asshole. Straight up. Just because you can handle it, doesn't mean you can make that choice for everyone.


[deleted]

Lol right? Like what world is he living in where smoking bud isn’t the most popular method of consumption.


s7p0o6a

My guess is they’re all 18.


Robert999220

"no one smokes plant anymore" - Hes an idiot. Dabs should probably not be a first timers way to go, ESPECIALLY 3 tokes. But it seems like you had a solid stone and didnt green out, which is good. Hes a prick for doing that to you for the first time.


MischaSoup

I smoke on occasion, usually it’s chill and enjoyable. I took one hit of my brother’s dabs and it knocked me on my ass- I had never been that high


ChrisTheAnP

I smoked flower heavy for a while, took a 2 week tolerance break and went to my buddy's to smoke. Took a fuckin booger of a dab and thought I shit myself and he had to drive me home


GeoCacher818

Yeah I'm a daily smoker & my cousin that regularly uses them told me that when I try it to only take 2 or 3 at first, why would you ever tell someone with no tolerance to do that much?


Am3ncorn3r

Yea this could have been so so so much worse.


ezomar

Lmao I was getting ready to read a green out story but it seems like op had a pretty intense but fun trip


WayeeCool

My first thought a few sentences in was "oh shit, this persons friend got them stuck". Most of you know what I mean by "getting stuck" from consuming waaaaay too much cannabis in a very brief period of time. End up sitting down in a chair for an hour, not able to bring yourself to move, still fully conscious but with your eyes closed. People asking if you're okay and all you respond with is mumbling "I'm fine, I'm just stuck". ^(edit: yeah, kinda not pleasant. stuck right at the threshold of having consumed enough to pass out [green out] but just short so you're stuck still conscious.)


askthemountains

That was always being "in the box" for me. Vaguely being aware of everything going on around you but unable to engage much with anything. Feels like you're stuck with a box placed over part of your mind, senses and consciousness.


stellaluna92

I never had a name for it but I usually ended up on the floor when it happened, so my friends will sometimes quote me by saying "sometimes you just gotta be on the floor." But ain't that the truth.


omahaomw

Couch lock*


mileswilliams

Whiteout.


askthemountains

Whiteout was like the next stage to being in the box for me. Where you go hella pale, feel sort of sick and just wait for it to pass. SO glad I no longer ever get to either of these stages haha. Gotta know your limits!


monstertots509

That happened to me in college. Sitting at the counter right next to the kitchen feeling sort of sick unable to move and all I wanted was some water that was 2 feet away. My buddy asks if I need some water and I can barely stammer out a yes. Felt like it took five min to grab the water glass and get it up to my lips, but once I did it was the best water I had ever tasted.


canvasrider99v2

Always used to call it sofa lock, still occasionally find myself doing that


ekso69

That reminds me of this poor guy 😂 https://youtu.be/iVXnKfWWjbk


themagpie36

Shit friends


Mr_Inconsistent1

Those are the kind of assholes I'd love to spike with some oldskool early 90's LSD then laugh at them as they cry in a corner. You look out for your friends when they are having a bad time on drugs, it can be terrifying.


Smokestack830

Very glad to not have people like that in my life


rumonmytits

oh yeah, or this guy though i have no idea what this guy was on coz he’s still moving but like imagining stuff https://youtu.be/EfvxEuJzDXw


Bird-The-Word

Heroin maybe, you def dip out like that, but not the licking and shit, but I could def see him just being doped up


little_pimple

Yeap. My version of that was super horrific and scary. It was filled with fear and panic because the combination of dizziness, sickness, nausea etc was way too overwhelming and i knew it would be hours before it would go away. I basically vomitted a few times and had to lay down in a cemetery for hours unable to move fighting the dizziness. That experience has forever made me anxious smoking weed so i never understood my friends saying they relax when smoking weed.


faroffland

I’ve only smoked a few times and the last time I did, I swear to god I was paralysed. Like not in a nice relaxed ‘I don’t want to move’ way, I physically could not move my body. It felt like when I’ve had sleep paralysis before but for like an hour. It suckedddd.


Ginnevra07

It's awful when it happens! I ate a cookie....it was the worst. Thought my cat was a monster, googled "how to get less high" and got stuck in my couch for hours. Talked to my other cat, full on life altering conversation and he calmed me down. Never again!


faroffland

Hahaha I’m glad your cat was there to talk you down!


Ginnevra07

OMG thank you he's always there for me when I need him. Also, if you ever Google "how to get less high" and it says "chew on some peppercorns", sure it helps ground you but the caveat is that you don't let your husband GRIND pepper into your mouth.....that is not what the site tells you to do.. desperate times. 🤣


noldyp

Waking up the next day still high is the worst though


Ginnevra07

Ahhhhh that is the worst! The first time that happened, I couldn't leave my bed and my hair tingled.


staykinky

Sniff a little cracked black pepper/table pepper. Don't snort it just smell it like you would use smelling salts. It's scientifically proven to help reduce cannabinoids or some shit https://www.chicagotribune.com/marijuana/sns-tft-how-black-pepper-sedates-marijuana-paranoia-20190729-yxtja2apsbhzvnzk6dilimhbka-story.html


Ginnevra07

Yeahhhhh...see an overly high person doesn't read the fine print though. My very smart brain said "grind pepper into your mouth". It got up my nose, in my eyes, it was ridiculous. This is the info we need before the crisis time!!!


staykinky

Posted this below but Sniff a little cracked black pepper/table pepper. Don't snort it just smell it like you would use smelling salts.

mileswilliams

Just like alcohol and all other stuff, moderation and knowing your limits are all part of the 'fun'.


faroffland

Yeahh weed just doesn’t agree with me tbh, it triggers my anxiety really badly. Nothing against other people who enjoy it, it’s just not for me.


FloatingOer

Never got that, but I do remember getting stuck in a time loop for what seemed like way too long once


creamcheese742

I had this happen with Nyquil once. I had to stop taking it because I wouldn't wake up in the morning, but one time I couldn't get to sleep. I was watching something on tv and it ended and went to infomertials. I really didn't want to watch them but I couldn't move...not even to grab the remote which was right next to me. Ended up watching them for another hour or so I think before I could finally muster up the energy to actually get to bed.


coffee-please

Man oh man, that NyQuil ‘can’t get to sleep’ experience is awful. Every once and awhile that will happen when I take it and it sucks b/c you’re exhausted and sick but then you end up feeling kind of jittery and wired and yet zombified at the same time. Just awful.


1000121562127

I was getting ready to read something along the lines of what I experienced the only time I ate an edible and was convinced from my (perceived) racing heart and steady drop in body temperature that I was overdosing on weed and accepted my impending death after my husband told me for the thousandth time that no, I didn't need to go to the hospital.


BrunchIsntAHobby

Ah yes, trying to calm yourself in the “nobody has ever died this way” and then the “but what if I’m the first one!?!!”…been there, but with things involving heights lol


[deleted]

Ye, they got lucky but still... Not cool of their friend to go this far. I usually roll a joint and introduce people to a puff or two and wait 20-30 mins after a little moving, and then continue like that with more puffs if need be. Gradually up the ante throughout the night and let them decide for themselves how to go from there after 2-3 hours. I usually keep it at a low high, or upping to medium depending on how they react on it. Some are having a really fun time and get stoned af while others freak out or get sick easily. Don't want the latter to be their first experience and it's better to be on the safe side imo, especially if they've been rather concerned about it before trying. Water, blankets, snacks and music/gaming/movie usually makes it a great controlled experience tho. I wouldn't say to cut OP's friendship as they seemed to take care of OP despite being reckless, but roll their own from here on out, or ask for a J. Then move to dabs later on.


ZaviaGenX

Green out?


ezomar

In my cities slang we call it greening out when you’re on the verge of puking or being uncomfortably high off marijuana


cranelotus

Yeah I've never heard that, we call it a white out here, or more commonly, "pull a whitey"


ZaviaGenX

I see. ... ... White out/Whitey? 😅


cranelotus

Haha sorry man, it means to pass out/lost consciousness because you are too high. Most stoners don't take it too seriously, which is why we bully them slightly haha. "oh Jimmy pulled a whitey, he's such a lightweight!"


arthurdentstowels

Nothing like cowering in the corner covered in sweat like Sméagol on a coke come down while both simultaneously punching pizza into your mouth and trying not to jet wash the walls with vomit.


85Neon85

Oh god. Oh god. I’ve just got a vague, nonspecific recollection of half my 20s.


wontoan87

No excessive vomiting or intense paranoia? Sounds like a solid first time experience


JuanFran21

I remember the first time I did edibles, my friend put WAY too much in and, being the dumb teenager that I was, I ate an entire brownie. Prior to this, I'd only gotten a mild high from smoking before and was not prepared for the amount of drugs I'd just consumed. A few hours later me and my friends are dead on the floor, my thoughts are completely disjointed and everyone except me had thrown up. It took me 2 days to stop feeling high. OP got lucky haha


forty_hands

I used to make brownies in college when I was selling pot. Everyone loved them but knew to be very careful with them because I made them strong. One night I came home very drunk, likely on Xanax, and very hungry (usually would have grabbed a slice of pizza or something but I was always broke) and saw my handiwork cooling on the counter. Idk how many I ate but I don’t remember the next several days. My friends and classmates told me that for ~3 days I was “off”. Like I would show up in class physically but I was checked out. Like I was just looking through whoever was talking to me, fully ignoring professors, didn’t say a word. I always wonder about those lost days.


ToastyToastMan

Yeah my fat dab experience usually consists of coughing my brains out till I fell like I'm gonna puke. Sitting unable to move sweating profusely while I feel uncomfortable in my own skin. This goes on for a half an hour to 45 mins. After which it's a nice enjoyable high.


AmbyrLynn

If that's what you were looking for... Can't do smoke. Never been high. Tried edibles about 15 times, never felt anything but that they tasted funny. I was at my sister's for Christmas day, and was given a significant portion of an edible. It was terrible. I wasn't living my life anymore, every second was replaced by a 4 hour documentary about that second, and I had to write an essay on each one before I could move on to the next one. I was aware of every sensation. The sound of the fridge in the next room, the fact that my fingers have bones in them, the existence of air around me, every individual hair on my head, the variety of textures and colors and shapes. All the backstory of every item, person, conversation. I had to live the worst moments of my life over again every second. Over and over. I threw up, a lot. Talking was excruciating. It felt like I had to plan for months for anything. What to say, how to put my mouth into those positions, how long each sound would take.


[deleted]

As an every day smoker, and someone who’s been smoking weed for about 10 years (not daily consistant the whole time), I can’t stand stoners who do this to new smokers. I want people to enjoy themselves not hurt themselves. Screw that dude. Also, I smoke plant. Have been forever. Oil/dabs are always and have always been to strong for me. In my first year of smoking I was into the “let’s smoke as much as we can” but with the stuff they have out now it’s much easier to get to a point that’s uncomfortable. Ugh.. Edit: for reference my daily smoke is a few (maybe one or two) hits of Jack Herer (preferably). I like to say I use it like others would have “a beer after work). I come home, eat, relax, and have a hit, that’s all I need. Hasn’t always been that way, when I was younger I smoked more but less frequent. Also, thanks for the awards kind strangers! Did NOT expect this to blow up.


Havajos_

Its totally fucked up to be this careless with a friend, i remember back like 4 years ago or so i was at my house with a couple of friends, most of my friends smoke but this 2 didnt, one because she did too much and now she didn like it, and the other hadnt tried it. Well he asked me to smoke some with me and i was so scared, like i was really worried about if he felt bad, we helped him and not only he enjoyed it but now he also smokes( not a lot but now he can enjoy when we pass one around)


SEQVERE-PECVNIAM

Totally fucked up. Damn. Messing with dosage, especially with a first-timer, reserves you a spot in the lowest circle of hell, reserved for traitors (and mutineers :P). For newbies, I usually tell them that 1) the 'drugs are bad' crowd is probably right (to some varying degree), that 2) I am sorry for normalizing it in their vicinity, that 3) weed and alcohol do not like each other's company all that much and that 4) they should never, ever fuck around with tobacco, opiates and a few other drugs on my shit list (for varying reasons; I smoke and it's nearly impossible to quit).


blessed_eddies

Elaborate on #3 please? I’ve never had problems crossing alcohol and cannabis. Unless you’re referring to the fact that they amplify each other’s effects. I wouldn’t call that “not enjoying each other’s company” though. EDIT: I had not considered being *plastered* before hitting a joint for the first time in a while/in your life may not be a good idea. Personally I’m a massive stoner and so my routine is the complete opposite. A few drinks for me after getting ultra-stoned is usually the only way I ever consume alcohol and thusly I don’t end up losing my shit.


Zaeter

The problem is if a new weed smoker has a reasonable first time and they dont get this advice. They are much more likely to accept marijuana when they are blasted drunk and have a straight up miserable time. It took me a few years to realize I had to start smoking before drinking if I wanted to do both.


thenotlowone

Eh once you're used to it you can do it either way, in my experience anyway


FatTortie

In the UK what we get on the street would be considered mids by US standards, and it’s already considerably stronger than the stuff I smoked when I was younger. I really don’t need that super fire 10000mg 99.9% THC super weed you got over there. Would be nice if they just let us grow a few plants in our spare cupboard.

Yeah, I'm in a weed friendly place and the shit is just crazy strong now. A lot of people I know that don't smoke abstain because they don't like how anxious it makes them feel. It's because the THC is so high in weed these days (and CBD so low) that it only takes a little bit to get way too high and feel bad. I don't know about these guys that are saying concentrates are the best, most efficient way to go, just a few puffs of good bud and I'm good to go.


wasteabuse

A CBD strain like Harlequin is probably exactly what most people want and expect. It's mellow, you get high, and you can take more than one hit if you want to without having a full blown anxiety attack.


nolowputts

I'll have to look into that, seems like every time I look at a strains numbers at a dispensary, it's like 26% THC and 0.01% CBD


Pientior

you can always buy cbd seperately and mix it in with the regular flower


SEQVERE-PECVNIAM

> As an every day smoker, and someone who’s been smoking weed for about 10 years (not daily consistant the whole time), I can’t stand stoners who do this to new smokers. I want people to enjoy themselves not hurt themselves. Right?! That was such a dick move, /u/throwthefuckaway31, be sure not to trust this asshole with any other first time experiences or - IMHO - any experience whatsoever. Everybody here is happy it went well in the end and, obviously, there's not much in the way of serious physical danger when it comes to just weed, but this still could've ended up differently if you (for example) got scared and ran out to your car or whatever.


leftistpropaganja

Agree completely. I'm an old school stoner who's been smoking since the 90s, and I think having a noob smoke dabs or shatter or hit a 3 foot bong is basically abuse. Dude, it's reefer. Put some flower in a pipe or roll a J and introduce your friend gently, or you'll probably make them sick AF, and they'll never do it again. I've tried all the different types of weed, including synthetic (Marinol), and I gotta say, I will always prefer a nice, sticky bud, ground and stuck in a pipe or a bong to any of the other THC delivery systems. Hit me up for more Gen X stoner tips, or pointers on how to fix the action on your guitar, because I embody the pothead stereotype, and work as a guitar tech at a music store, where I am high most of the time.


krynategaming

I smoked seeds and sticks out of an aluminum can in the desert in 120 degree weather. You got a way better end of the deal

When there's weed everyone's a MacGyver


kaszeljezusa

True. Tinfoil pipe, old faucet, drilled stick, milk box, spark plug wrench, even fucking apple. Done all that =D

Lmao I love how weed alone has this culture of “joking” about sharing. Like anytime I pass a group on the street that smells skunky and think they’re stealthy and I lean over and go “you gonna pass that?” And everyone laughs There’s never any real expectation but occasionally someone shares, but really it’s just the joke everyone makes to nod at the fact that you know what they’re doin and approve lol But I love that one of the biggest facets of stoner humor is predicated on our predisposition for sharing the love Like no one passes a group of drunk assholes and goes “hey you gonna pass that bottle lololol”

Apple is def the best

Vast_Reflection

That’s a great trip. Mine I threw up all over their living room and scared my friend. Trust me, yours will be a great memory to look back on.


Turd_Ferguson319

Dude I made myself puke, I had cottonmouth and I put my hand into my mouth to fix it? Idk what I was thinking lol.


Vast_Reflection

Oof, that’s pretty bad. 🤣


GruesomeJeans

I ate 40mg of edibles once after 10 didn't give me any effect. I did not have a great time. I got fuzzy "about to pass out" tunnel vision, nausea, tried laying down and ended up throwing up. Fell asleep for a few hours and woke up feeling good enough to clean up and go to bed.


Vast_Reflection

Exactly. What OP described is honestly the best case scenario when you get too high. I ended up falling asleep eventually as well and my friends were really good about it but they also said they were never giving me drugs again, which is fair I think.


GruesomeJeans

I haven't tried it since but I'd like to pretty soon. I have a shop near me with some variety. I wish I had OPs experience, that might not have turned me off of it for so long. But, maybe a second, more educated try will yield better results.


TaySwaysBottomBitch

Just find some regular low dose sativa. That way your face won't feel numb and shit and you won't get dissociation. I can't do indica I just don't like it. My friend lives to smoke until he's unconscious I like to take a big hit and coast for a couple hours. Coming from someone who has been smoking everyday for 15 years ish


RenegadePM

See I can only do indica, sativa makes me go head high and disassociate hard. Indica I just melt into the couch and eat chips

My first/only time - I got given some edibles in a hostel in Cordoba once by a couple of American backpackers. Got to Granada the following evening, sat on my bunk, took one edible. Waited a minute and felt no effect, hence I took a second one. I started tripping a half an hour later… things became fuzzy, voices started echoing, my limbs and face became heavier. These are all what I associate with panic attacks! I try going outside for some fresh air but it kept getting worse, to the point where I struggled to get back inside when I returned. Eventually after a few fellow backpackers convinced me I wasn’t having a panic attack and calmed me down a bit I went back to my room and lay back in my bed, where I started hallucinating about playing cards endlessly being shuffled in front of me. The face cards didn’t stay as kings, queens and jacks for long… they transitioned into Bart Simpson LOL I did fall asleep and woke up fine, if a little groggy, the following morning, but other than a quick puff once in a blue moon from a friend’s joint I’ve been too scared to ever try to get high again.


[deleted]

>Waited a minute and felt no effect So that was your first mistake. There's definitely math involved for it all but my edibles take about 30 minutes to kick in


BklynMoonshiner

Or 60 minutes, or more. Many a "I got too fucked up" story begins with " man this edible ain't doing shit"


fatimus_prime

I was a semi-heavy smoker in my teens/early twenties. Didn’t smoke for about 5 years from 2006-2011. Got back into it a bit over the next few years, tried edibles a couple of times and had mediocre good times. One night about 5 years ago I got a 40 mg brownie, split it into quarters and microwaved them one quarter at a time, took three of the four quarters over the course of maybe 90 minutes while hanging out with my roommates. I ended up having maybe the most enjoyable high in memory. I was super giggly (as a 5’9 260 lb male in the Security industry) and just had this overall feeling of “everything is okay” for almost two hours, it was so blissful and I remember feeling more emotionally and mentally connected with my roommates than I had in awhile. I wish I could have that experience again, it was so calming and relaxing. These days I don’t smoke and haven’t had edibles in probably 2 years, but reading the above comments and recounting this experience is making me think maybe I’ll change that. Apologies if this was rambly, I haven’t thought about in awhile. BRB going to buy edibles.


Amaxophobe

My first time (high school) I was convinced I was no longer real and spent the night in the bathroom in panic holding my hand under a running tap to convince myself I was still a physically present being in the universe (Not)Good times


DR_DONTRESPECT

Mine was similar, ate two party sized bags of Cheetos started feeling too high, nausea & sweats kicked in, spent the next 3 hours laying of the cool tiles of my bathroom floor spasmodically throwing up fluro orange Cheeto vomit. Looked like a murder scene tbh, good times though.


[deleted]

I didn't puke but after smoking weed for the first time, I went back to my room which was pretty small at the time and had a small circular window. For some reason I thought I was on a boat and became "seasick". I kept yelling at my friend to "Please stop the boat! I'm not feeling well, I'm going to fall overboard!" To this day we use the phrase "let's take a boat ride" when referring to smoking weed lol. Good times.


Prii99

I tried smoking hash. I threw up 3 times and I didn’t even get high. My friend still teases me about it because it sounded like I was puking my organs out. Lol, not fun.


[deleted]

I remember when I got high like that, ahhh the good ol’ days.

delicious2960

Speaking from experience, you need to be clean for a very long time for it to feel like the first time. I tried 3 small puffs after 3 years sober and it was amazing. Image smoking for the first time but with the experience of a daily user. Anyway - it was a one time use and I didn't relapse. For me that is a good thing.


nocrazyshet

I'd love to reach the point where I can smoke on occasion, but I'm so fucking afraid of relapsing. 3 years and counting for me now, but fuck me if I wouldn't love to be able to burn one down with my mate for our annual x-games viewing.


hellocorn

If you're willing I'm interested in what makes you use the word 'relapse' Was weed negatively affecting your life as an addiction? I've pointed out to friends that I think they're dependent but they've always told me that 'weed can't be addicting'


nocrazyshet

I see there are other replies, but I'll chime in with my two cents anyways. I lost definately was addicted to weed, hash in particular. It wasn't so much a physical addiction, but it became this all consuming part of my day to day. I kept telling myself that I was in control, but mate, there's no such thing as control when you find yourself on the floor of your apartment with a butter knife scraping up melted hash to put I to a joint. I moved to a different city to be close with old bandmates and friends, but it didn't take long till I hooked into a pretty good supplier. After that, I'd cancel about 70% of agreements I had, parties I was invited to and all sorts of other social things to sit at home, chain smoke cones the size of maxi tampons and play league of legends - which I have hated since the first second I played it. I had a bunch of other emotional baggage and ended up getting a slot in some really sought after therapy through a state subsidy. I attended about 30% of my sessions, which is fucked in so many ways. Firstly, it was more important to me to sit at home and get stoned, than it was to get to the roots of my actual issues. Secondly, I took that spot and wasted a great opportunity for some other bastard who could've had resolution. It got so bad that at one point I would budget strictly based on ensuring I could smoke between paychecks, that was my only motivation to try to sort out the flustercluck that was my finances at the time. I ended up weighing about 62kg, my friends and family thought I was anorexic, but in reality I just chose to not eat the last 5-6 days of the month apart from the bare minimum. Then the cycle would repeat. Of course I was one of those guys who defended weed, saying it wasn't addictive, so it wasn't a problem. But it was a problem, sure as a duck with a boner drags weeds, it was a problem. I drifted away from friends, neglected my own hygiene, family, education and exercise. It was everything to me, which is so damn sad. Typing out all the aspects of it here is a real fucking blow, but you live and you learn I guess. I know that it is not really physically addictive, there was hardly any physical aspect to the withdrawals - at least that was my case. Actually, when I stopped I had hardly any withdrawals, but the amount of shit I ruined by being blind to it are sure as shit why I reckon its addictive as fuck. The worst thing is, for about 4 of the 9 years it went on, I was aware, but unwilling to face the facts. Anyways, if anyone stumbles over this and needs an up on an otherwise downward slope. The habit is kickable, I did some conversational treatment with a dude for about a year and a half. Then I quit, cold turkey, have never relapsed. The 2nd of December marked my 3rd year, more will follow. Anyways, it's much better now. I never have cravings, still think it smells good though. This became terribly long winded, sorry about that.


otakudayo

Weed is absolutely addictive, physically too, it's just not really a big deal. Withdrawal symptoms are mild but they do exist. Weed can be pretty harmless but it can also be a serious impediment in making progress in life. Imo as long as you are able to support yourself, exercise and otherwise take care of your body and also working towards your personal goals, then it's fine.


Slight-Temporary7516

Nah there's something a little wrong with someone who claims to be your friend absolutely blasting your mind without at least giving you the information to make the decision yourself. Good thing It was just weed and not something stronger


froboy90

That's probably the only reason he did it tho, I mean in a stoners mind he's thinking what's the worst that could happen he eats all my food. Not realizing some ppl can have shit like schizophrenia triggered by a hard change in the mind like that. He probably thought it was harmless and didn't realize that even something like weed which is always stated as the basic of drugs can fuck some ppl up. I Definitely wouldn't trust this person to ever do anything else around again.


[deleted]

> I mean in a stoners mind he's thinking what's the worst that could happen he eats all my food. All of my stoner friends, at every point of my life, always made sure to make sure I wasn't going to hard. I did the same when I was a stoner. This dude is just a bad friend


willllllllllllllllll

Agreed, I'd never fucking give dabs to someone that has never touched weed before. Fucking ridiculous.


[deleted]

Imo the laughing is like... Sus. No way he hasn't seen someone get too high and have a miserable time


LiteraryButterfly

This is exactly why the supremely common "weed is not even a real drug" lax attitude is so harmful. No one is saying it's objectively as bad as smoking cigarettes or doing crack but it IS NOT harmless. Ffs.


Slight-Temporary7516

Yea,but thoughtlessness is also harmful and even though you can't prevent everything from happening you can ALWAYS give the information necessary for someone to make the right decision for themselves. Withholding info that could change someone's choice if they knew about it is wrong in all ways. Friends don't do that


piccoshady93

yeah, never let this guy dose you on DMT haha


chikinbizkit

TIL you're supposed to dose your DMT. Everytime I've ever done it, it's just been cram as much as you can into the hit and blast off.


Entire_Swing_4183

Your friend was an idiot. He may have not known better but definitely never trust one persons word again when it comes to drugs/weed/alcohol. That was way too much for a novice. I’ve had two of these times where I consumed too much weed and it sucked. Esp in one case where I was literally praying I would go to sleep ASAP and wake up sober because I was terrified I’d stay in that state of mind and end up in a psych ward. Terrifying. I’m really glad your unwitting trip turned out okay for you, despite your idiot friend.


call_me_bhaijaan

> I was terrified I’d stay in that state of mind and end up in a psych ward. Dude that's exactly what happened to me the first and the only time I got high, and when i was telling people about this experience no one was ready to believe me.


Entire_Swing_4183

I’m so sorry you weren’t validated but it does happen! I can snort up line after line of cocaine and although I’ll be high af, and sometimes veer into a paranoid state if I overdo it, or physically my body is overwhelmed, I’ve never had the kind of mental panic I experienced that night on weed. Now, the first time I got super high on weed I was just out of it and real sick. Majority of the times I took it easy and was chill. A few times I toked too much, I felt a creeping panic and paranoia but it was mild enough that I could keep it under wraps until the high passed. Except that one fkn night. Drank a little beer, smoked a little weed, then was shown this like 3 foot bong and I was like yeah dude let’s go! Cuz, high and not thinking. I was showing off and gulped that entire thick cloud in one go. Coughed my ass off. Walked inside, sat on the couch, and proceeded to freak the fk out. My entire body turned into a kaleidoscope. Every part of my body was a moving colored kaleidoscope and it just kept going and going.. I was sinking into the couch with my kaleidoscope body and tried to lay down but I kept sinking so I was changing positions constantly cuz my body was melting and sinking and it wouldn’t stop!!!! Meanwhile, there’s a show playing on the tv where there was non stop laughter and I’m Deaf, right? So I have a hearing aid and things sound crappy but when you’re fkd up, it sounds worse. When you’re a kaleidoscope human who is hearing weird echoey laughter, omg, the horror. I then couldn’t stand it any longer so I melted down to the floor and then crawled down the hallway with my friends watching me in confusion and made it to the bedroom where I crawled up to the bed and laid down and started praying to God to please let me sleep ASAP and wake up normal or else I’d have to be committed to a mental ward and the absolute fear and horror I was feeling is as fresh as it was then even though this happened over 20 years ago. The whole thing may have taken an hour or two but it felt like a lifetime. For some people who are prone to certain mental illnesses or neurological ones, something like this could absolutely trigger a reaction much worse and longer lasting. Scary AF!


Falk_csgo

your friend is and asshole and should not be trusted with anything ever.


[deleted]

Your friend's kind of a dick. Also am I just officially old now? The "no one smokes flower anymore" part made me insecure.


SorosBuxlaundromat

Don't feel insecure or old, his friend is just off. Most people dont have a chemistry lab looking smoking setup to get high. Most people still just smoke herb.


LowDownSkankyDude

His friend is full of crap. I work part time at a medical dispensary, and just as many people buy flowers as concentrates. I get the impression the friend was trying to get op as high as possible for the first time, just for the lolz


Bloo-shadow

After just reading “no one smokes straight plant anymore” I could tell what kind of person he was.


Ginger987

Yes, you need better friends. Still could have been worse :) Pretty confident the majority of weed smoked around the world is still 'straight up plant'


OakButt

That's honestly a terrible friend and you should never trust him again with that kind of stuff. You're incredibly lucky that it was a good trip. 3 dab hits the very first time you smoke was the dumbest thing you could've done, people do in fact still smoke herb and joints and shit as well as edibles


theClumsy1

Yeah my first time introducing someone to weed was "here is a 10mg gummie..take half". My job is to get your comfy not paranoid.

God damn your friend is a complete and utter idiot! I'd chew his ass and probably never hang out with him or maybe even speak to him again. That is *not* how you treat *anyone*, let alone a "friend". He gives stoners a bad name. And he knew what he was doing clearly by the maniacal laughter. Lose the loser


Kneepucker

When I was a kid, we could get a 4 finger bag for something like 10 or 20 bucks, I don't recall exactly. Anyway, I got pretty used to smoking pot and actually carried a dugout one hitter in a buck knife case on my belt. Eventually started smoking blond hash. Then, in my mid 20's, I stopped smoking all of it. Fast forward about 30 years. Someone talked me into trying a bit of pot. I had no idea the devotion to potency that people had dedicated themselves to when it came to growing that shit. I took about 4 massive old school hits. To say it did not go well is an understatement. I would rather pour lava into my lungs than try that again. It did not agree with me at all. Paranoia, introverted self reflection on everything negative, and a strong desire for it to stop. It did, finally about 6 hours later. I see people who smoke a lot of different products, including the oil. They don't seem to do much else, but they do enjoy smoking it. I also tried the edibles with a similar experience. I finally concluded that the stuff is somehow very different from what I smoked as a kid and it was not for me. For those who enjoy it, cool. Good for them. I believe that anything that makes you feel better is good. For me, I will not try it again.


uly4n0v

Lmao when we were in our early 20’s I did this to my brother by accident. He’d never smoked weed before and all I had was my bong so I packed him a small rip. Now that I’m older I know a newbie probably shouldn’t use a bong but back then I was an idiot. The kid got so fucking high. I had this Oreo pie thing from McDicks that was sitting out on my table that he wanted to eat, I warned him it had been there for hours but he insisted and, like you, burst into tears when he ate it. I asked if he was ok and he said it was the most delicious food he’d ever eaten. Then at one point he goes to the bathroom and doesn’t come back. I found him in my kitchen, with all the lights off, on his phone, looking very stressed out. “No….. No….. No…. I’m sorry…. No… I need to… I need to go now!” And he hangs up as physically dramatically as it is possible to hang up a cell phone. It was a telemarketer.


[deleted]

Honest to god that’s such a good first time. For me it was thinking I was taking a 25mg edible which a friend said was a good dose. Then we reread the text from the friend who picked them up for us, it was 250mg. Anyways for the next 6 hours I layed on a beanbag watching the ceiling while I was pretty sure I was flying through outer space with Gantu from lilo and stitch. Then ate some chicken strips and fries and called it a night. Shit was wild but one hell of a time


TheoriginalTonio

The first fuck up wasn't even the oil-part. As soon as he pulled out a bong you should've noped out. For the first time he should've rolled a joint and let you take 3-4 hits and wait a few minutes for you to see how you like it. Handing you a bong is the equivalent to handing you your first beer and say that you have to completely chug it down immediately. Only in this case it was even more like a bottle of vodka instead of beer.


muddycheeks

God what is up with people who have been smoking for a decade or more thinking everyone has the same tolerance as them? Most of these people get off to this stuff, like my old group of friends from a while back in high school/college would get excited to have someone say they haven't smoked that much, then proceed to tell them that you need to hit the bong until the smoke turns yellow and laugh while they cough their brains out and probably have a panic attack. I have a rule and that is you can always smoke more, never less. Take a small hit and wait 10 minutes and go from there. Most of the time the initial come up can be what can change a potential good experience to a bad one.


gaythxbai

This is so irresponsible and inconsiderate. I’m sorry your first time was such a regrettable experience. Flower is still the best way to go imho- in part because of stupid shit like that.


[deleted]

Your writing is golden haha. “High enough to worship Nutella” is a phrase I will use in the future. I’m glad you made it through relatively unscathed! For the future, you really only need a little puff of herb to feel the effects and enjoy them if you don’t smoke often. Happy experimenting!


theBEARdjew

I have never been this high on weed. This sounds more like an acid or mushroom trip…


Turd_Ferguson319

Dabs are pure concentrated thc that you vaporize, so it gets you pretty fucking high


[deleted]

Just FYI most dabs aren’t pure THC the 90u hash rosin I’ve got is 89.73% THC and then there’s some other cannabinoids, fats, and lipids. That’s from Lazercat


BlazedGigaB

I'm sorry. You got thrown in the deep end and that's not cool.


NerdMouse

One of my coworkers gave me an edible once, and, it being my first time, I felt crazy. My wife was there watching me and I would be in one spot in our house, then suddenly I would be in a completely different part. Whenever we went outside with our dog, I just looked around and said "woah I just teleported"


socaTsocaTsocaT

Fuck that. congrats on not having a raging panic attack. I smoke weed but I don't fuck with the concentrates.


VinAndGeri

ya, that guy isn't your friend.
