[QUOTE=Cpn Crunch21;47015776]Gonna snow about a foot where I live, though I love smoking a bowl to the absolute silence of a state in emergency. No one is on the roads, no one is outside, nothing but the sound of your lighter flicker, the embers of your bowl, and the pitter patter of snowflakes. It's so tranquil, the noise of a busy society is gone, time to relax dudes. [editline]26th January 2015[/editline] Damn Cody you weren't kidding about this storm.[/QUOTE] Maan I want a snowstorm, the winter here has been shit so far. Only had to scrape ice off my car once... barely been below 0C
I wish we were getting more snow here. I love smoking during heavy snowfall. It's so peaceful. Why does caffeine just make me more aware of how tired I am?

I had been eating edibles every day for about 6 months. Cookies, brownies, cupcakes, w/e we decided to make with the butter. Pretty much wasn't smoking at all anymore since I was receiving an endless supply of cheap butter from a friend, and because I enjoyed the edible high more anyway, I didn't see any reason to stop. Well one day I was in a hurry to go somewhere and didn't have any cookies made, so I just chopped some of the butter off a fresh stick and spread it on some toast. Had done that once or twice before with no issue. Well I guess this time I ate way too much. I don't use any other drugs so I don't know what those are like, but this was by far the most intense high I've ever had from THC. That part was glorious, the bad part was that my chest and neck tightened way up and I felt like I couldn't breathe. My body began shaking uncontrollably every couple of minutes, then would settle down, then I'd start shaking again. I tried to just focus on how good the high was and relax, but I simply couldn't take in deep breathes and couldn't stop shaking. A couple days later some more cookies got made and I had one, same thing happen, albeit not as bad, but still I had this weird tightness going on and I had trouble breathing. That was the last time I ate anything. Tried to just smoke a couple times after but would feel some of the same symptoms creeping up. Last time I smoked anything was 2 weeks ago. Ever since, I have been having extremely weird health problems. Been having weird chest pains, bouts of shortness of breath, and worst of all feeling dizzy and unbalanced every day. The dizziness gets so intense sometimes I feel like I'm going to fall over. I ended up going to the hospital emergency room because I didn't know what the fuck is going on with me and any primary care physicians I called were saying they could not see me for another couple weeks. Anyway, they did some tests on my heart and did a blood test, could not find anything wrong with me. The doctor comes in to tell me my blood test was fine and says he thinks the chest pains / shortness of breathe are just anxiety, and that the dizziness is my "brains reaction to quitting weed so abruptly". Kinda confusing. My life has been so incredibly awesome lately, it's hard to imagine i have anxiety. And I have quit smoking many times before and never had anything like this happen. It's been a couple days since I was at the ER and my head still just feels fucked up every day. Any time I'm at work I start feeling like I can't breathe and I feel all woozy and weak. I don't know why I'm sharing this but I know I just want my life back. I want to be able to get high and chill and animate some films and play some smash bros without feeling like I'm dying.
tbh while everyone here always posts about smoking and whatnot, I feel like some of you do this stuff way too much, like the above post. I understand that there are studies showing that smoking weed and other shit can be beneficial in some ways but honestly, I've seen everyday smokers who've become literally braindead. I was with someone one time, and I was talking about how I personally don't enjoy weed because of the effects it has on me, causing me anxiety and making me feel stupid. One of my friends, a literal 24/7 smoker started going off on how weed's actually good and how there's nothing wrong with it, really defensively. It wasn't that I was even trashtalking weed, I have nothing against it. He was just so caught up in doing it that he's uncomfortable with the idea that it's not good for him when he's doing it everyday, all the time. Now a lot of you will reply telling me how weed isn't addictive and how bullshit that is, and some of you might even reply just for your own self comfort, but I know people who cannot LIVE without it. They smoke before work because otherwise they get grouchy or angry easily; some people I know cannot sleep without smoking a bowl first. I personally know some older people who've done it for a long time, and their memory is fading as a result of it. Waitresses who worry about how they can't remember orders or drinks like they used to, they're just not as sharp as they once were. Some of you always are posting how you're high, and it's cool. It's fine, that's literally the point of this place. I love hearing about it, but don't be doing this shit every day of the week. It can make you stupid. And don't be replying telling me how I'm uninformed and how I'm just one of those anti-drug people who trolls this thread. You've seen pictures of shit I have and whatnot, things potentially more damaging or addictive than weed. It's all about using it responsibly and I hope you guys use this stuff responsibly as have I. Sorry if this is a rant but I've seen too many people turning into potheads, and a few people I know are turning into cokeheads too. It's alarming and I hope at least some of you really ask yourselves if it's worth doing wake-n-bakes and whatnot, and if you do, take a break for a month or so, just so you're not caught up in shit. Besides, your tolerance goes back down too. My point here is that everything should be in moderation. Some of you guys need to watch yourselves.

[QUOTE=Banandana;47016320]Tons of stuff.[/QUOTE] Well you're kinda right and kinda wrong. But most of it is your opinion which cant be right or wrong so I respect your opinion. Weed is non-addictive. It is habit forming but anything that changes perspective is. However it is when you get to hash oil and hashish that you find there is an actual psychical dependence. Still, it is hardly a dependence. I have seen people get way too into it, so youre right about that. However about the "making you stupid" thing. All the stupid people I know on weed are not stupid because of weed, they were just always stupid. Weed kinda keeps them from getting any smarter though. It only makes you stupid if you let it. It is a basic moderation that some people lack. (Also addictive personality etc etc) But heres my idealism: What is better, a world of alcoholics who fight and hate, a world of cokefiends who steal and lie, or a world of potheads where everyone gets along. Haha I am not 100% serious on that but still I get your perspective. I feel the same way about alcohol due to the disassociative affects. I will disagree with your statement that weed makes you stupid, as I come up with some profound thoughts when I am high. But unlike some lazy stoners I put those thoughts into action and it gave me some fun weapons for my old TTT servers back in the day where TTT meant "Trouble in Terrorist Town" not "Twelve year olds screaming".

[QUOTE=psientist;47016168]long quote.[/QUOTE] My friend has the exact same thing, not with edibles though. I'll talk to him tomorrow and give you some information about this. I also added you to Steam if you don't mind.
[QUOTE=Charrax;47016498]Tons of respectable stuff.[/QUOTE] Yeah I guess my statement that it makes you stupid might not have any background evidence to it, but I totally know what you mean and I think you got my point there. It is addictive in a habitual way, which is what I was getting at. It's not cocaine or anything, (I can see why coke is addictive having done it myself) but when you're smoking a bowl for a while to loosen up after work, and it becomes a habit you can't quit, I'd personally consider that an addiction. You can say that about anything but moreso with weed as it calms people and changes your mental state (just as you have said), so it has a different dynamic than having a cup of tea or whatever the hell people do. You can see where that would cause some dependence. The point of my rant was that it's not something people should be doing all the time, but they seem to. Anytime some friends of mine are hanging out or going somewhere, they get BAKED first. I'm probably the more not-weed-but-other-drug-using-person of them, having done cocaine, LSD, etc etc where they've only done weed but I get annoyed when people react so terribly to what I do when they're doing that shit ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Oh, also. I almost forgot. The whole thing about coming up with ideas while on weed I 100% understand. I feel the same way about LSD but like anything, certain drugs have their time, place, usefulness, and whatnot. I used some xanax yesterday to do a 6 hour sleep schedule shift for school. Also just so you know I'm not trying to be hostile or anything, I really appreciate your reply and it's totally not what I expected. I pretty much expected a bunch of defensive or hostile NO YOUR WRONG posts and whatnot. I was going to add you on steam but you hit deny, probably because you didn't recognize me or you secretly hate me or something :v:
[QUOTE=Banandana;47017084]bunch-a-stuff[/QUOTE] Oh sorry! Your steam level came up as 0 which is an automatic alarm in my head haha. One thing you said is so super true. If a stoner dares to smoke early on in a day, his day is ruined. it is filled with being either burnt out or this mellow high that really isnt worth being called a high.
I've always smoked at night and I find it a lot more relaxing to do so since everything around you has calmed down. Then again I only smoke occasionally.

[QUOTE=cody8295;47017271]I love smoking in the morning, it's actually my favorite time of the day to be high.[/QUOTE] Well smoking in the morning your body seems to recover. I am talking about that weird phase when you've been smoking all day and youre caught in that crappy limbo.

pills
[QUOTE=Scot;47017319]pills[/QUOTE] Speaking of pills, lean is such heaven.
[QUOTE=sam6420;47017399]Smoking in the morning has its up's and down's, although I don't like the fact that the next time I smoke it doesn't seem as strong..[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=koppel;47017300]When I start smoking in the morning then I need to smoke all day.[/QUOTE] Both of these things are exactly what I mean. You smoke early and you get a really fun high. Then you get burnt and need to smoke more. You still get rather high and its pretty good. Then you get burnt and need to smoke more. You barely get high. It is like how crack addicts try to chase the original high.
I don't know what you guys were talking about I was just saying pills
orkel can you stop banning all the good posters in this thread for tiny offhand shit
[QUOTE=Charrax;47017355]Speaking of pills, lean is such heaven.[/QUOTE] I tried lean once. I enjoyed it when I did it but then I fell asleep and the next day I was like "what's the point" Just got super fucking tired and laughed a lot and everything slow down. Music was way more awesome, admittedly, but still, not worth the abuse potential. If we're going for awesome prescription drugs, watching Gravity on Xanax was pretty fucking tight, and it felt awesome to not feel anxious about anything. The memory loss sucked ass though.
yo does anyone listen to yung lean... He is amazing I've been gone for like 3 months and now this happens what the shit is this

[QUOTE=Mr. Bleak;47018013]Legit want to try to get a benzo prescription for my insane ass anxiety. Seems like it might be getting better lately though and I really don't want to get addicted and start abusing yet another drug.[/QUOTE] So start with .5mg Xanax from your doctor and ask for an SNRI, or SSRI. I honestly prefer SNRI's because they work better for me but they help with anxiety really well. Wouldn't recommend using benzos alone to treat anxiety, because even then they don't do that much. Long term anxiety relief will be much more healthy for you in the long run.
