Problem

G

Guest

I really like smoking weed. I like smoking it and sorta allowing the aromas to waff into my nose... and to open up my chest in that way.

Problem is, I get too high. I probably only need one or two hits to be good. But I just enjoy the act of smoking.

How can I reduce the potency of my herb, so that I can smoke more of it...for the pleasure and art of smoking... without blowing my top off...

Should I just get a heavier CBD strain?

Or should I just keep smoking until my tolerance is up...

Thanks,

Indicad :rasta:

I think I need to grow some low THC content, higher CBD, and very fruity strains.... that way I could smoke/vape alot without getting ripped off my flippin head

EDIT: I just thought of something. I could bake my weed in the oven for like, 20 minutes... on a high temp, like 350... to try to vaporize some THC.

But maybe that wouldn't work... since I still want some THC, just not as much.

Its not a notion dude. I'm a lightweight. It was over the amount I wanted to be... I'm really sensitive to the stuff. I normally just take little sips of smoke... but this time I did mad bong clears. I just like smoking... but, its not like smoking a cigarette u know? You can smoke a full cigarette, and its not so psychoactive.

I wish I could smoke a full joint just like smoking a cigarette...but not get so blasted that I feel ungrounded...cuz that is how I felt tonight. Like my head was so blasted up high that I lost touch with my body.... it was fun in some ways...but eh kinda got a little paranoid (rolled with it) too...

Peace fellas

Do a search for low THC strains, I know there are some out there, I've read reports about them. I wouldn't go for a strain higher in CBD, that will change the quality of the buzz, I think it tends to give a "knockout" quality typical of indicas.

In the end though, the more smoke you inhale, the worse it is for your health, so maybe just get over this attraction for inhaling smoke....
 
Find a strain with a "low ceiling". Usually indica strains have a low ceiling. That means, eventually you can keep smoking, but get no more higher than you already are.

The opposite would be a strain without a ceiling, or a high ceiling, which means you keep getting higher the more you smoke.

Indicad,

Definitely don't put your weed in the oven! Personally, I roll a joint, hit it a few times 'til I'm good, and let it go out. In about 30 mins or so I'll find myself lighting it back up. I find this more efficient that just smoking the whole joint at once.

If you're not opposed to tobacco why not roll some spliffs? Get some decent tobaccy, no drum or top and you'll get yourself a nice flavorfull smoke. Of course not the same as a virgin joint, but not neccessarily worse ya dig? This way you can regulate the amount of bud you want to use, but still get the satisfaction of smoking the whole thing.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I like the idea of low THC weed, or one with a low ceiling. I bet the indica hybrids have low celings, because the amount of CBD eventually just mutes some of the THC highness. I'll have to play around with that.

Yeah smoking a spliff I could do. That way I could put enough for a hit or two in a spliff, and get the enjoyment of a meditative smoke out of that.

I also thought of something else. I could smoke marijuana leaves. Also, I think I'm going to get a vaporizer. What I'll do is take a tiny pinch of mj, and mix it in with other herbs that I like...and just puff on that during the course of the night.

try growing a landrace sativa, they usually aren't as potent as the modern hybrids. you could also smoke frosty trim which will be a little bit less potent by weight than actual flower material, usually.

Why don't you just smoke it like a cigar and just hold the smoke your mouth for 30-60 seconds and/or just inhaling little bits of smoke once and a while. Doing this will let you Saviour the taste(if it's done in a joint or cigarette style not a bong) as well as let you absorb the thc slowly which gives your body time to react to the chemicals being released which won't give the head banging effect.

Also get an aquafilter that uses a wet cellulose filter which cools down the hot gases, which are carcinogenic. This filter has been shown to not reduce lung cilia hairs mobility like other filters that are dry.

A trick you can use to really make the smoke damn near harmless is to let the filter dry and use strong black tea as a wetting agent. The tannins and polyphenols act as antioxidants and help stabilize free radicals which smoke has tons of and this is one of the main causes of diseases and problems from smoke. It also helps filter out tars due to the molecular weight being able to trap the heavy tars.

If you can't find info on low THC strains here on IC, you should go to the various seed sellers catalogs, in the descriptions for each strain they will frequently give the level of THC present, either in percentage or by saying low, medium, or high.

Take some nice bubbler rips to the head, every morning, and again at lunch, and a few times before dinner, and again before bed... and then like me your tolerance will be so high... :D then you'll be craving the heavier hitting, and super heady strains...

Happy Hunting!!! :joint:

Space Ghost. I bitch alot. Get used to it. :))))

For now I'll be taking Truthman's advice...that way I can enjoy the herb longer! and still be at the level I'm comfo with...

Thanks for the other advice. When I start growing I'm going to be exploring all of these options.
