Ok so I've been smoking for a month maybe more, not very often, like 3-4 times a week.
It's just that I don't think I'm getting high properly, the feeling is just different from what I read/hear. We basically put like between 0.2 and 0.4 grams in a joint, and smoke a few. My head spins a little, I feel a bit fuzzy (like a massage) and I get sleepy. That's it. Now I've been reading some crazy shit on this forum and on other boards, as if when you smoke it makes you think differently, with a different logic and such and you end up saying crazy shit. I just get tired and my head spins.
Ok, the weed itself isn't complete and utter shit, it's ok. I know a guy that has been smoking it for years and said it was "ok". Nothing special but not bad. I've tried a few strains, including Big Buddha Cheese and Big Bang. Same effect, although big bang made me really sleepy and my head was spinning so much that I couldn't stand up (as if i was drunk). I don't know what effect it has on my friends but to me it doesn't do anything special other than what I've already described. I'm sure I inhale correctly, since I used to smoke tobacco and know when I'm actually inhaling the smoke. I keep it in for a few seconds, like 5 or 6 and just smoke it normally. What could I possibly be doing wrong?
ps: just to point out a detail, we roll them with tobacco, meaning the joint isn't 100% weed but a mix.
it could be the amount you put in the joint i think
[QUOTE=Pame;38335989]it could be the amount you put in the joint i think[/QUOTE]
yeah but after smoking like 4 in a row it adds up. I don't just smoke one.
I usually share them with like 3 people.
you're tainted, smoke meth and hail satan to purify yourself

I've smoked a bong and a pipe, more or less the same effect. I notice the difference between the different types of weed I smoke, and the amounts but it never gets worse than head spinning and getting sleepy. I'm pretty sure I inhale correctly, I used to smoke tobacco for like a year so I'm familiar with how to smoke/inhale. I think the weed is okay, my smoking mates like it and get high, and have lots of experience. I've tried a few different types from different parts of the country, plus some hash from morocco. same results.
probably all the weed in the entirety of scotland is rubbish.
the more you do it the more you will be able to notice the subtle effects in my experience
getting high now feels completely different to what it felt like in my first couple of months of smoking, and ive heard a lot of people on the internet and out of my irl friend-group say the same
to much tobacco not enough weed it sounds.
that massage-y and sleepy feeling are definitely characteristic of weed. but weed isn't really THAT intense, even your first really good bowl. it's still fucking awesome though
could you post a picture of your weed?

^ This. Also, everyone reacts differently to different substances. Perhaps your body just reacts to marijuana different than most people.
to be honest weed is hyped up a heck of a lot for what it is. most drugs are imo
just chill out and enjoy the feeling rather than getting worked up about it
[QUOTE=NeoSeeker;38336222]could you post a picture of your weed?[/QUOTE]
I'm dry at the moment, but I'll definetly post pics as soon as I get some.

I was afraid it was this. I don't see any reason to smoke it if it doesn't really give me a certain effect.
The relaxing feeling doesn't really make up for the price and things I go through to smoke it and all. Well, I'll continue for a while and see how it goes.

I can definitely relate to not getting high. For the first 3 years I smoked off and on I didn't get high a single time. Then one day, it was like "DAMN! SO THIS IS WHAT HIGH IS?" and the funny thing is I had only smoked like half a bowl.
Try to make sure you're inhaling properly. It helps to exhale completely before you take a hit, then when you've smoked as much as you're going to, keep inhaling as you remove your mouth from the joint, pipe, bong, ect. as if you're trying to gasp for air. And definitely hold as long as you possibly can.
One other thing you can try is sprinkling a tiny bit of hash on top of your bowl or mix a tiny bit into your joint and see if that does anything for you...
Beyond that, not entirely sure what you can do. I'd definitely like to see a picture of what you've been smoking. I know you said you've tried different kinds, but are you getting them from the same dealer?
try smoking a shitload while inhaling probably.

Thanks for the tips! Just a silly misunderstanding though, what's a bowl?
And no I don't get it off the same guy. Different people, from all around Scotland and I got some from Italy and Morocco. At this point I think the weed isn't the problem, it's me.
I'll upload photos as soon as I get some.
a bowl is a pipe, specifically the part of the pipe where you put your herbs

since you are smoking just joints from what i gather, try using a pipe instead.
HOLD YER SMOKE FOR 5 SECONDS

This has piqued my interest. I'm actually going to start this series tonight. :D
I might sound crazy... you might be smoking too much. You said you're facing at least 2 .4gram joints? You should be able to feel it after a hit or two.
[editline]6th November 2012[/editline]
I mean, smoking for only a month you should have like zero tolerance.
[editline]6th November 2012[/editline]
Like I've gotten to the point where my walking is noticeably different and standing up can throw you off base, but that's like really high.
[editline]6th November 2012[/editline]
When I got stoned my first time, I had like 4 hits and was spaaaced. Less can be more.
try smoking some good weed and not "just okay" weed
the problem OP is that you need to take the joint and put the end that isn't lit in one nostril, block off the other one and inhale the smoke thru your nose so its activated by your mucous membrane
Smoke with me man, I'll show you the way.

0.2 to 0.4 grams yes. I don't see how that is so much, considering that many people roll joints 100% weed.
[QUOTE=brianosaur;38340284]try smoking some good weed and not "just okay" weed[/QUOTE]
I tried some supposedly really good moroccan hash, the effect was the same but better. In the way that the feeling was more relaxing, and it didn't make my head spin as much.
[QUOTE=Rocco101;38342250]0.2 to 0.4 grams yes. I don't see how that is so much, considering that many people roll joints 100% weed.[/QUOTE]
he thought you meant 2.4 grams, not 0.2 - 0.4 grams. have you tried smoking without tobacco? that's most likely what's produces the dizziness.
It's because you think that weed doesn't give you too much high.
I know some poeple who think they "doesn't get high properly" too... Those people have another view on weed and I know they have an abusing use of marijuana.
Well, it's true that someone could have a tolerance on cannabis... Maybe you just have to make a break but please, don't tell me it's impossible to do... I believe a person can't be addicted to marijuana that hard... Caffeine addiction is harder than weed.
Also, if some people smoke weed with tobacco, they are going or are addicted to tobacco but they think that is marijuana. Of course, it's that fucking tobacco.
I also think sometimes after smoking a joint that I'm not properly high but people around me, friends who most don't smoke tell me that I'm clearly fucking high.
Also, there are many hypothesis already told in the replies like:
- The quality of your weed,
- The amount of weed in your joint,
- etc...
Oh yeah, I forgot: some people are less sensitive to cannabis... Just keep in mind: smoke to relax, not to be fucking high as hell man :P. (Or if you want to be very high, smoke more and more!)

I dunno anything about moroccan hash, or what it looks like or how it was made? but have you ever smoked weed that could be described as frosty, pungent or fruity odor, and/or very sticky and looked like:

People roll with that much when they have a tolerance built up, not after their first month smoking. Try just a couple hits of just weed, no tobacco.

This should tell you the head spins are from the baccy
[editline]6th November 2012[/editline]
Then again I don't know the exact quality of your weed. But even mids should only take you a few hits, maybe a bowl to get really decently stoned
I remember the first two times I smoked weed. I got a strange light headed feeling but other than that I felt nothing. I was just smoking a joint both times. And then the third time I used a friends bubbler and I was blazed for a solid 5 hours. Everything was spaced out and I was smiling all the time etc
The first few times you smoke you may feel nothing at all but if you try a few different ways you're going to get ripped.
Smoke it pure in a bong or pipe (or roll a pure joint, but be prepared to waste a whole lot of weed).
If you still get dizzy and shit from only weed and no tobacco, then weed probably isn't for you. Not everyone likes the high from weed. Look into psychedelics if you really want something that will change the way you think, like you mentioned in the OP. Or dissociatives (grab some MXE if it's still legal in your country).
