i like weed
i hate how much tolerance i have for shit. i almost want to lose weight just to save money and time with drugs
getting some mdma , powdered or crystal, don't have scales. anyone got any methods for not snorting too much?
Get scales.
I just want to share this annecdote, the following is paraphrased from an AC/DC biography.
One afternoon Bon Scott approaches one of his roadies asking he has
any pot he can spare. The roadie says, "Of course, but unfortunately I
only have a little left." Scott doesn't mind and promises to hit him up
at the next stop.
At the next stop, Scott comes up to the roadie and pulls out (no
shit) a brick of weed, tears it in half, and gives one half to the
roadie. The roadie responds that it is too much, he only gave a little
to Bon. Bon didn't care. He said, "You gave me half of what you had, I
am giving you half of what I have"
Having issues with staying awake while smoking again. Been smoking some Lemon Haze which is supposedly a pure sativa, but I'm still getting tired around 9-10pm, sometimes I'll even be in bed as early as 8pm, way earlier than I used to back in college. It could have something to do with how much coffee I'm drinking at work, though.
Are there techniques/supplements/anything that can combat weed lethargy? I half-considered getting some light stims but I'm really worried that I'll get addicted to them. I've used 2-FA a few times in the past and liked it, it would be nice to have around but I don't want to get into a cycle where I can't be productive without it.
Don't smoke weed.
Caffeine drop will do this for sure.
Do you exercise much? That increases my general levels of alertness and energy. Make sure you have a decent diet too, that'll make you feel sluggish and tired if you're eating crap.
I'd bet exercise was part of it. I exercised pretty regularly back when I smoked in college, haven't had a chance to find a decent gym since I've moved. Diet's pretty much the same, I tend to eat healthy.
Thanks for reminding me, I'll start up again this weekend and see if that helps.
Honestly the key to weed usage I've noticed after becoming a pot head in 6 months is that moderation is key, I've never really gotten addicted to anything like weed did to me.
It got to the point where I was slurring my words during my job, so I reduced my intake by a 3rd, it was also lowering my overall happiness being foggy all the time.
Got drunk for the first time in a while tonight and had a great time even though I felt terrible today. Alcohol and music's pretty good.
I've found that vaping bud greatly reduces the body lethargy, If I'm having throughout the day I'll vape then I'll have a smoke at night for bed
One of my best mates is addicted and moderation is exactly what he has trouble with. He uses gravity/bucket bongs exclusively and I think that's what does him in. He went overseas and had 3 months off with no trouble but now that he's back he can't stop smoking again. It upsets me that there are so many people out there who say, because weed isn't addictive for them, it isn't addictive for anyone. Psychological addictions are powerful things
Recreational Marijuana Petitioner Say They Have Enough Signature..
eyyyy
Had a couple lines, didnt feel much.
Snorted the rest total fucking dud. There was a bunch of crystals in the bag I gave my brother but mine was just powder with a couple shards. The powder was defs not mdma, tasted similar but not quite right.
I've been put on 150mg of Bupropion daily by my psychiatrist to treat my narcoleptic symptoms and boy it's nice not to feel sleepy literally 50% of the time I'm awake. It's also an anti-depressant and I don't know if it's placebo but it seem to literally supress anxiety in my daily activities like dealing with clients at work. Only downside is that it reduces the seizure threshold.
hey bros, today is the first legal recreational weed day in Vermont. half the state has smelled like weed all day
I've been reflecting on my drug use today and I think I understand why I ended up only having bad experiences after a while. I've been suffering from depersonalization since mid 2014 which makes it hard to relate to your surroundings and your own feelings. its like living in a dream or watching your life through a TV. it doesn't feel like your own life anymore and instead you're only watching but not relating or feeling. it's not too bad as you get used to it, but when something relieves you from it and you're thrown back into life, that thing is very special and amazing. in my case, I think drugs filled that role. I didn't have to solve it in any way, all I had to do was take a drug and that feeling would disappear. I'd be reconnected, become myself again and stop being a spectator. no worries, no disconnection, only awe and wonder. they'd affect my life positively since after so long, I finally got to have the experience that yes, I am fully capable of feeling and being happy. I'd work out, lose weight, make friends and everything looked great just because the drugs gave me an opportunity to see what was behind all of my problems, where I could potentially be if I fixed my life.
though I think I started chasing that feeling a bit too much. drugs remained wonderful for a while but eventually they lost their novelty. the drug itself stopped being the experience and I had to make an effort to feel good on them. which wasn't too big of a deal but it often ended up with rather lackluster and boring experiences. I didn't stop to think that maybe I should learn how to deal with my problems in order to fix my experiences. instead, I went with what any genius would do and upped my dosages. I threw weed into the mix, started combining stuff, just to get back to those first experiences of simply taking a drug and feeling amazing for no effort at all. yet again, drugs became wonderful but only for so long.
in late 2016 / early 2017, I got this tiny voice in my head. I was telling myself that I had to do something about my situation, that I was worried about my patterns and that what I was doing wasn't a good way to feel alive. it was mostly background chatter at that point but it grew a lot with time. I ignored it and kept it up and had more and more lackluster experiences. the drugs stopped giving me what I wanted and those ideas grew a lot under my experiences. I'd start feeling a bit anxious on weed, MDMA would become stressful and tense if the dose wasn't high enough to override it and my psychedelic experiences got a more sinister undertone. my problems started seeping into my experiences, tainting them and amplifying them. yet I kept at it, vaping weed in the evening as something to do and taking various other drugs as the activity. I still had the expectation of taking a drug to feel good for no effort even if I didn't notice it at the time. I kept pushing it and pushing it until I hit a wall.
that brings me to my bad trips. that tiny voice had grown so large in the background that it fully enveloped me when I took LSD. no longer was my subconsciousness kindly asking me to fix my shit only for me to dismiss it, it had taken hold of me and was trying to smack some sense into me. it was yelling at me, pleading me to finally do something and stop chasing the solution through drug use. I didn't like what I heard, I had dismissed the voice before for a reason. this time though, I couldn't simply dismiss it. it was staring into my eyes and I had to stare back and I wasn't ready for that. I was fighting it even if I didn't see it myself. I tried to run and I tried to feel good through escaping without realizing that every single time I took a psychedelic drug, I only came closer and closer to what I was running from.
at the time, I thought I had been betrayed. I thought there was nothing to learn and that I had been unlucky by getting the wrong side of the coin. now I see why I had my bad trips and why my experiences became so dull. I didn't have a bad trip because I had a bad trip, I had a bad trip because I kept lying to myself and ignoring my own thoughts only to avoid what I always had to do. I'm thankful now and understand why the trip had to be as bad as it was because otherwise I'd continue ignoring myself.
tl;dr blogposting about mental illness, looking for solutions to life through drugs and what I learned from it
So update on that, went to my second checkup with my psychiatrist and basically he told me that I didn't have narcolepsy. It was just symptoms caused by my depression. Thankfully it seems like the stimulant part of Bupropion is doing its job. Also he did confirm that Bupropion also suppresses anxiety so it wasn't just my imagination. Overall the drug is doing great with me and it's even better that it's the case with minimum dosage which means I practically won't experience any side effects which are usually proportional to the dosage. It also means that I can keep doing weed and alcohol without any issues which wouldn't be the case on a higher dosage of Bupropion.
Free weed! and coke! but no rad dealer anymore who went to jail when he went to court. fucker lied said he was 20 and was barely 18 and having way to much fun before he went to drug court where they use the best tests when you walk in. I thought about bailing him out but it would be 2,500 out of pocket on his 25,000 bail. got me his plug the other day before though so I can get even better deals.
That moment when you walk out of the dispensary high on wax and see that all of the cars in the parking lot are either the same car or same color as yours and then you pick the wrong one only to be greeted with a, "Bruh." Thankfully he laughed about it but man, I probably could have gotten my ass kicked if the owner wasn't so chill. Also I wasn't the one driving, just in case anyone warns me about getting a DUI.
I've only gotten so close as to put my hand on the door-handle before noticing a guy just chilling in his car waiting for me to start some shit. Awk.
Psilocybin is amazing, planning on a final trip (for a long time) tomorrow. I almost want to just dump my journal entries for the past couple of days on here but in short: Shit has really pulled me out of the dumps and I'm already seeing better results in my life from the past two weeks.
I love reading trip reports, keep us updated.
how did i just learn that oregon and denver might be voting on legalizing shrooms. i don't even care if its a long shot for them passing, that its gonna be on the ballot is incredible in itself

how dare they lock this thread
I think I'm experiencing alcohol withdrawal, like more than just a hangover. I feel essentially like I have a cold, but it's worse in certain ways. I didn't really realize I had been drinking that much lately.
Make sure it's not just dehydration and remember to drink enough water, MrJazzy. Too much alcohol will dehydrate you.
Thank you, I'll make sure to do so. I'm off to work soon, god knows how that'll go, I feel fatigued and I can't quite think straight, but I'm bringing a large cup of green Chai tea, hoping that'll keep me going.
