Weed Question (for those who smoke it)


Recommended Posts

Since this is my 420th post, why not make it about 420?  Marijuana isn't legal where I live, but I live beside a state that has medical marijuana, so the last couple times I've bought, I bought from a guy who travels to the next state to pick up med grade, dabs, and edibles. 

However, I've noticed that the med grade stuff doesn't seem any more potent than the high grade stuff (what the kids today call "loud") I buy from the two people I would normally go to.  What are your opinions on that?  Is med grade the same as high grade?

I'm from Australia, where we don't as yet have medical grade legally available. But it's coming though......

Generally speaking, it's illegal, and your breaking the law by having it in your possession, but it's absolutely common, and easily available if you know where to look. 

On a side note, so is ICE, and unfortunately, that's even easier to score sometimes, and is a REAL problem.

I myself am a regular smoker, and have been for about 25 years, although I don't smoke the same quantity that I used to. Many years ago, I'd go through up to an ounce a week, but these days, it's more like just having a few cones before going to bed. 

Most common is probably hydroponic grown, which is certainly stronger, but I actually prefer natural home grown myself. Can get nicely mellow but still function, without needing to completely "veg out." Also, the hydro stuff can give me a headache sometimes.

The other option is synthetic cannabis. Some shops sell it legally. But it's not technically legal. It's a never ending cycle, the law continues to ban it, but the manufacturer tweeks the ingredients slightly, and it becomes "legal" again.

Just this week in West Australia, a chain of smoking shops called "Cloud 9" got busted, and a heap of it was seized, but within a week or two, they'll have it again, called something else, with a different recipe. 

Its expensive, full of chemicals, and can really fuck you up. I'm not a big fan personally, although of course I have tried it a few times. 

Theres been a few deaths associated with it. People having adverse reactions and stuff, and suffering heart attacks and strokes, as well as psychotic episodes. One kid jumped off the roof of a hotel last year after smoking it. 

For me, a middle aged man, I just like having a quiet smoke and mellowing out in the privacy of my own home these days, so natural pot is my preference.

If I do feel the need to get fucked up, I can always get ICE, speed or dexies, although I rarely indulge these days. Those sorts of things are generally left for camping trips or boys nights out away from my family. I won't use amps or chemicals when I'm around my wife or kids.

That synthetic crap is crazy.  I smoked it a lot when it was in generation two where I lived.  It was expensive, addictive, and a poor substitution for weed.  Yes, it got me high, but it wasn't anywhere near a similar high, or as long lasting.  I didn't understand how some people could have major freakouts on it, but at the urging of some of my friends, I stopped buying it until one day I couldn't get a hold of anyone to buy weed from.  I went to the headshop and found out it was now in generation four, and bought a pouch.  I took a few rips out of my bong, and I'd never been so paranoid or hyperaware in my entire life.  I didn't like it.  I was married at the time and had to call my husband to come home and sit with me until I came down, he was at a neighbor's.  By the time he arrived, I felt much better, but I never touched that stuff again.

I myself never had a really bad experience with it. 

But having said that, it really took me back to my earliest experiences with smoking regular gear. The first time since many years ago, I got the giggles, like uncontrollably laughing, and another time I got supremely paranoid, both things that I no longer experience.

But I've also had bad headaches as well. 

A friend told me of smoking it with a group, and 1 guy passed out, had a bit of a fit, and pissed himself. I know one girl who smokes it regularly, and her whole personality has changed. She's a real paranoid delusional bitch these days. 

Also, perhaps an age thing as I get older, is I no longer enjoy smoking and driving any more. I always liked getting bent and going for a drive, but not anymore. These days, it affects me negatively too much. Same as being in a crowd, just don't like it. I much prefer having a joint or a couple of cones, and settling in for a movie, or going to bed. Can't be fucked socialising. 

But strangely enough, I can smoke ice and still function normally. Thankfully, that's only a rare occurrence.

I'm strictly a weed person these days, and lately, I've even been thinking of quitting that, and just going straightedge for awhile, while I quit cigarettes, which I now want to do desperately, may as well just feel like crap all at once, you know?

I just feel like I'm getting "too old" for most drugs.  I used to drop acid and do mushrooms and smoke opium, but I can't say I'd do either of those if they were offered to me today.
