how much is too much?

[Guest]

I eat it raw mainly. When done this way your body will tell you if it wants any at a particular time. Does it smell good to you? Do you feel like tasting it?
Then it seems the body wants something in the marijuana...

This is how primates do it. They walk around tasting plants. If they instinctively want it they eat it. Same with all animals.

With smoking I would guess this instinctive internal mechanism gets thrown off and its harder to calibrate. It seems it becomes more addicting. Maybe more if your MIND wants it...

So then you have to sit there and think, and make threads...about how much is right. Since you are not going by your own internal guide.

But maybe you could apply this instinctive form of usage to smoking... (maybe?)

Do you want to smoke? Would it appeal to you? Are you enjoying each hit? Done this way, if you are enjoying each smoke then keep smoking. The moment its not that enjoyable...just put it down. It might work well...a way to adjust to your own unique biochemistry.

Of course like I said smoking may not work for this... worth a shot though yeah?

Wrong...with any drug use, or compulsive reward-driven behavior, the primitive brain has the first say, and then the rest of your brain decides...if you haven't agreed with your primitive brain, first, that is..It isn't just smoking, that goes for eating, too.

i smoke about 1-2 bowls a day. some days not at all. but i would recomend like many others to get a vaporizor. you could smoke vapor all day (out of a good vaporizor) and not feel it in your lungs.

i'd say about 35 grams a month-give or take
always use my bubblers-couldn't iimagine the weez from burning 3-5 bombers a day-(.5-.7 a bomber)
don't even get me started on holidays!
Ps-plenty can be accomplished burning some mild sativas during the day

i agree with ww, i smoke 2-3 joints a day on average. i roll 2 cigarette sized joints every morning and they last me all day with roaches uaually left over. of course, like the majority of us here on ic mag, i can and do smake as much as i want.

matsuva - yes, you are right. vaporizing is healthier and i like it! i try to do it more than joints, but joints are highly portable and of course the vaporizer is bulky, not portable, etc. i have looked into a portable vaporizer, but have not found one i like yet. i also want to get a super vapezilla to replace my volcano.

tracy

perakko - i think there are differences with raw and cooked. Just not sure exactly what. I do not have a huge tolerance like many on this site as I do not smoke alot...
I think cooking the weed makes it hit you harder in the head. One thing I like about eating it raw is it makes me feel great. I don't know... I haven't tried eating a ton of it raw I normally just eat something the size of my thumbnail or a bit bigger. Not much at all...and I'm talking schwagg too. hehe... a few months ago I was eating some good medical bud raw...man that stuff took me off my hook. and the effects of that lingered in me for weeks...seriously.

I also know a guy in his 40's who still acts the same way he did in his 20's. Lives like a bum, barely works,, stoned 24/7,, but happy. Should spend some of that weed money on a dentist though...

haha this is me except for the bad teeth.

Get a vaporiser, better for your lungs but the taste is not for everyone (i prefer joints, i know tobacco sucks but i still do).
I don't think the amount of J's you smoke is what matters, it's the THC and cannabiol levels that matter.

yeah definitely get a vap

This shit is crazy. I could not function if I smoked a zip a week of nice bud.I guess if all I had to do was to look after plants I would be smoking 24/7. But with school, my job and everything else I smoke 2-4 pipes a day and sometimes I feel too foggy.

Me and my partner try to smoke no more than 7 grams of nuggs per week. Some of this is financial (until harvest!) but alot has to do with the fact we are happier when not stoned all the time.

I used to be the type to wake up, rip on the roor, start my day, get home, smoke the roor, and just keep burning until bed. But when I lived like this I noticed that I couldn't get done what needed to be done and it actually INCREASED my anxiety!

Peace and THC

I smoke about 5 grams of high quality weed a day most in blunts some bowls though. I'm always high pretty much.

 

[FallenBuddha]

too much is never enough!

peace =fb

There is no such thing as too much - if you can function blasted, go for it...

I could smoke all day if I had the $$$ to buy, or the freedom to gro.

 

[Geezer 101]

That's the thing, you can't function blasted. You can only fool yourself that you can.
I've watched people try it. They think they are together , but they are falling apart at the seems.

i think that quote from the movie Jackie Brown sums it up:

Sam L. Jackson:"Girl, you gettin high at 11 o'clock in the morning?! Don't you know that shit will rob you of your ambition?"

Bridgette Fonda" Not if your ambition is getting high and watching cartoons all day!"

and there ya go. Different strokes for different folks.

I can, maybe you can't - stick to what you know, not what you think you know...

And quoting lines from movies don't prove squat - unless you think that movies are real...

I've been blasted for pretty much every major event in my life since I was a teen. 30 years.

Most that know me don't have a clue unless I let them in on the "secret" - and I have mensa membership and am computer tech.

All while dancing with MaryJane...

 

[George Hayduke]

yeah i agree i know plenty of people who get high all day every day and still function like everybody else. i can get high and still function but i can't be blasted. i have a friend who smokes like every hour and functions just fine and he is one of the smartest people i know.

I totally disagree.


I passed electrical trade school at the top of my class......was baked 24/7.

I manage a household of 3 young kids, full-time work, wife, friends, side business and more......all baked 24/7.

Please speak for yourself when you make statements about who can function on what amount of THC......please.

As people have pointed out...many can indeed function like this. I've also seen the people that thing they can but really can't, hell I used to be one myself.

Thats the reason I went from smoking all day everyday to about once or twice a day on weekdays. Weekends are still an all day smoke fest when I don't have anything to do though.

a buddy in college was blasted 24/7-EVEN IN ART CLASS-and still managed a 4.0 average-i only managed a 3.2 but it was something else seeing this 40+ yo dude looking pie-eyed whenever i ran into him
