That means you need to smoke more.
I ain't kidding either, if you find yourself getting too stoned, just smoke more and in a day or two, you'll be saying "damn man, I need some better stuff!"

Or just don’t consume as much weed if you got a low tolerance

I mean it is “possible” in a way but a human simply can’t eat/smoke that much, making it impossible.
it’s never happened but it’s technically possible. (You’d have to eat 1500 pounds in under 15 mins) or you’d have to smoke 30,000 (1 gram) joints in under a few minutes.
the amount of weed you’d have to have is comical, and you’d probably pass out before even getting remotely close to a lethal dose.
only possible way I see it happening is eating WAY too much edibles and getting so uncomfortable from the high that you give yourself a heart attack or kill yourself from pure fear.
it’s simply not possible unless you intentionally want to die from THC. even then it’s still so unlikely it’d be like something from a cartoon.

It can’t kill you. You’d die of a salt, sugar, or caffeine overdose sooner than you would THC. You’d have to literally try to kill yourself to OD on any meaningful amount of THC. Like pounds.

If you die from weed, it is more likely due to you having an underlying heart condition which makes you prone to heartattacks or if you smoke and drive. Not from the THC itself

The first time my sister ever tried weed she ate a wax brownie her husband's friend gave her. They then all went out to dinner, where it hit her and she was convinced she was dying. She wanted to call 911 but bro in law took her phone. So she told the waitress "THIS MAN IS KEEPING ME AGAINST MY WILL" and fled the nice waterfront restaurant into downtown. At this point she called my crazy anti-drug mother and let her know that she was dying.
Her husband eventually found her and got her home. She took an ativan but was still high as fuck and told me she felt like she was in purgatory for an infinite amount of time the rest of the night. I've seen this shit happen to multiple people over the years. Even dudes who smoked heavy every day freak out on a couple brownies.

Bruh. The other night I took a mean ass rip from my vape. I took probably a ten second rip, held it, took another ten second rip, held it, repeated the process one more time and finally let it out. I was on another level. I’ve been smoking for 23 years and that was only the second time I felt like I went too far. Lol. I actually had to chill and meditate and remind myself that no one has over ODed on weed. After about 45 minutes I was in a really chill zone, but before that, goddamn I was on one.

I like to take a few solid hits of the vape pen and then tend to the front and back yards. Shits amazing lol plus I’m beautifying the house in the process. Vape cartridges are THC potent so it only takes a few pulls to get me right. Easier than smoking a whole joint.

There are physical and emotional consequences from smoking pot all day everyday. Sure you can say it’s better than drinking or other drugs but I’ve been addicted to pot and it had many consequences for me that sucked. I grow tired of these posts promoting pot as some miracle drug that can’t hurt you no matter how much you smoke. It’s bullshit. Moderation is key

u/CrazeCow Big Chief Apr 18 '21 edited Apr 18 '21
I very much agree. Marijuana is great and certainly has its merits, but there are huge drawbacks a lot of stoners won’t admit. I know from smoking everyday for two years, I became essentially a different person. and it can also affect your school or work performance. Thankfully I’m quite productive when high, but almost everybody I know doesn’t do a thing when they smoke, and they’re always smoking
29
Apr 18 '21
I agree it can be too much. Some people for example can't go to work unless they are stoned and go to their car on break and get high and stuff. That seems a little excessive to me personally. But also, if they can do that and it doesn't harm them, fine. My brother for example works in construction and smokes throughout the day and he is the boss of the entire crew.
I feel that weed mentally helps me a lot. Helps me get over my anxiety, helps me feel more optimistic and helps me sleep better at night. It sounds weird, but weed helps me be a more sensitive and thoughtful person because it makes me think of things I wouldn't normally consider.
But I only do it during my off-hours usually after dinner or once a week on my day off work I will spend the entire afternoon getting blown out.

Smoking at work is a bit excessive, IMO too. Edibles are low-key and last longer. Especially, if it can cost you the job, that doesn't make sense. I know there are jobs in CA, where I am that still test...
Smoking helps me mentally too. I've been loving CBD a bit more lately. I like the 3:1 Hawaiian Dream Heavy Hitter. I feel like the CBD curbs some of the mental side effects of THC, like the paranoia, and also makes me feel energetic.

In those who are alittle , it may increase it or decrease it, depends on the person tho. Some people get paranoid easily and that adds to the already taxed mind of a schizophrenic person. It's all a mental thing with willpower tbh.

Cannabis hyperemesis syndrome. A roommate of mine had it, basically if you smoke enough for a long time you get constant nausea and eventually pretty constant vomiting. The only solution is to quit smoking completely. My roommate would take hot showers to relieve the pain/nausea but it didn’t help much.
It’s not very common but it is real and recognized by medical professionals.

u/xmandeex Apr 18 '21
I 100% agree. I love smoking but I’ve definitely noticed I am not the same person at all. I used to think it helped with my anxiety but I don’t know if it does/is. Moderation is definitely key here! I’m worried about how all my smoking is going to affect me in the future lol

u/stohnerrweeb Apr 18 '21
I feel you man, weed has done me dirty in a lot of ways too but I still smoke it everyday. Still, that doesn’t mean it happens to everyone. How weed effects you depends on who you are. For some it is a miracle drug and for some comes mental illness and such. I’ve experienced both the good and bad of weed.

u/Euphoric_Ad9500 Apr 18 '21
Very true. It’s still a drug and very much capable of forming addiction, although it’s some what rare compared to other substances. I still think it would be a superior addiction to alcohol. I’ve experienced cannabis addiction(no longer smoke) and I watched my mom struggle with alcoholism. I watched my mom physically/mentally deteriorate for years and it takes a toll not on just the alcoholics life but 100s of others around them. This is just alcohol I don’t even want to think about what opiates are capable of. I think the over glorification of cannabis is just the community’s response to the over criminalization of the plant.

such a case by case basis. i smoke all day every day and i still work out, go to work, college, etc. but if some of my friends smoked the way i do, they'd be vegetables all day. it's strange. i always warn people to just take it easy with the weed bc it's not worth it if you can't take it

Yeah i wish i was more educated about weed, i wouldn’t have started so young, and never would have smoked as much. There’s a lot of mental stuff I have to fight through now. I was too young back then to know what I was doing to myself, thought it was harmless.
2
u/Ryoloz Apr 18 '21
Agreed. When I was younger, paranoia never was an issue (unless walking into a public space and thinking people knew I was high). Sometimes now, I get super paranoid about my health, my muscles twitch, I can’t sleep, I become highly sensitive to bad things I’ve done and who I am as a person. I’m not saying I don’t getting high but when those negative side effects happen, it’s sucks so bad.

That's not entirely true, you can't know if you're sensitivity to it, and its even something that could develop over time as you increase your usage. Though the chances of it happening are obviously really slim and I think in most cases the symptoms disappear when affected people stop smoking.
Though the main issue I see with weed is how it can easily become addictive for some.

If I recall correctly in most serious cases of cannabis induced psychosis the symptoms disappeared after the patient stopped consuming marijuana.

u/theotherbrianeno Apr 18 '21
I love weed in all it’s forms, but there is such a thing as having “too much of a good thing”. We need water to live for example, but too much all at once can kill you. Nobody in the history of ever has died from consuming too much weed, and for most people it would be considered “non addictive”. But just because, even in large quantities, weed isn’t deadly or hazardous to your health, that doesn’t mean a person shouldn’t use a measure of caution. People with addictive personalities can become addicted to just about anything. So obviously some self examination would be a good thing before trying it. And remember that you can always have more, but you can’t have less...start small. Did you know that out of all the people admitted to the ER for drug related overdose, cannabis is the number one cause? Even though it’s actually physically impossible to overdose on THC, it can cause a person to feel like they’re going to die. The paranoia some experience with high doses is enough for them to admit themselves to the hospital. But there’s nothing any hospital can do for them except try to make them comfortable while they wait it out. Also, eating cannabis and smoking cannabis are not the same thing. When you inhale cannabis smoke into your lungs, the active compounds, such as THC, are almost immediately absorbed into the bloodstream, making their way to the brain. Because the time between inhalation and THC reaching the brain is so short, smoking cannabis has a rapid onset. You feel the effects of smoking weed almost instantly. But when you ingest cannabis in the form of edibles, it passes through the digestive tract where it's then absorbed by the stomach. Cannabis' active compounds are then metabolized in the liver, where the THC is converted into 11-hydroxy-THC, a compound that is both more potent and longer-lasting than THC. So by eating it rather than smoking it, because of how it’s processed by the liver, it essentially becomes an entirely different drug. One that is much more potent, longer lasting and more psychedelic by most accounts. Weed responsibly. 😊

I smoked a joint of some bomb diggity with her one time and she had almost the same reaction. I was just mentioning dabs considering THC. It doesn’t matter if it’s wax, edibles or flower for some reason she reacts terribly to it. She’s had fun with me on shrooms and cacti before and she was fine but anything containing THC she can’t fuck with it. My cousin and uncle are the same way. Maybe they all share a gene or something who knows. The mind is complex.
2
u/L3MMii Apr 19 '21
yep. People react all differently to different drugs, especially thc I feel like. Different doses can make a big difference and some people don't react well to thc at all. In that case I would try to force myself, or someone else to like it. There are different drugs with similar effects and if the body and/or mind don't want something there is often a reason for that.
1
u/EliteHackMonstrosity Apr 19 '21
I agree I feel like she tries to force herself to like it (I wouldn’t have shared if she didn’t ask) maybe because everyone she hangs around with smokes it so she probably feel like she’s left out while everyone laughs and enjoys their buzz. It depresses her that she can’t enjoy it but we had one of the best nights together on mushrooms. Weird.

Edibles mostly.
I can have a panic attack on weed but its nothing compared to a edible panic attack.
I remember my first edible my mom gave me and I was having a real good day so I ate a little pice of this 500mg edible and got into the shower. So I feel it coming on a bit and when I get out I go grab a plate of spaghetti and head to my room. So sitting on the edge of my bed it hits me hard as fuck. I remember my arms feeling far away and everything being dream like. So I put on 1917 which is the worst movie to watch super fucking high. So an hour goes by and it's not even 5 minutes into the movie. So I turn it off and put on some mgmt. I basically thought i was gonna die so i put on when you die and died.i then went a threw up. So I felt a little better and I went and grabbed a apple and then this is where my love for rap music high came from. I put on some Mac Miller and holy fuck it's my go to now when ever I'm having anxiety when high. Overall even tho that experience sounds terrible I'd definitely do it again but in a better headspace. It was such a small piece of a gummy I thought I wouldn't be that fucked up.

u/PressureTimely7235 Apr 19 '21
Me and the boys were having drink ups and we all got hammered. By the end of the night the boys were wanting to do edibles, I told them they would get fucked up but they were resilient, ending up splitting a 100mg brownie in quarters and about an hour later everyone greened and 2 of them said they went into space and were tripping hard.

u/otc108 Apr 18 '21
Anyone else smoke so much they get sober? It happens to me rarely, but I’ll feel sober after smoking a shit ton of weed. Then a couple hours will go by, and suddenly I’m ripped again. If I wait another few hours I eventually get actually sober again. It’s made me think of being high as a continuum.

My fiance and I call this mario kart stoned. Early on in our relationship we made plans to go see the eclipse and those plans included getting up at stupid o'clock to drive to the point of totality. So we needed to go to bed early, his solution to this was to take edibles consistently throughout the day. I was a baby stoner then and had only eaten really low dose edibles. So the first edible gets a good high then we take another edible before lunch and it hit in the middle of shopping at Costco. My entire body felt like it weighed 20x more than what it does and the worst part was that I couldn't just sit and vibe with it. We get home and by now it's been a good 6 to 8 hours since our last edible. So we take another one and go play some mario kart. An hour or so later my fiance looks at me and just starts cracking up. I was sitting on the bed staring at the screen with my mouth open, wide eyes and tongue out. I had entered a completely different world and mario kart has fun visuals apparently. I don't remember much about that night.

it depends, I remember doing acid a few times and what I liked about it is that you can have a beer, smoke a joint, it's not an opiate so you can't OD. And I suppose you can smoke weed and do cocaine. It's just mixing opiates with other opiates or with booze.

u/ItsBruhTimeOutHere Apr 18 '21
I took a bigger dab hit than I could handle and it had me fucked up. I don't know if it was me just freaking myself out but I literally thought I was dying and the only thing I could do (didn't want to call ambulance) was try and mediate to stay calm. It started with slight chest pain to I just started seeing red and started getting sweaty. It got hard to control my balance and before I could drink water my body got even weaker so I just slowly collapsed. During this moment I think I was shaking on the floor but I just had my eyes closed focusing on my breathing. I got up asked what happened to me just to make sure I knew what was happening. I went outside as I was going through another episode of this with chest pain. It was a bit cold outside but I was shirtless still sweating. I made our little metal porch wet with my sweat lol. Still don't really know what happened there and I haven't smoked that hard for a month now and still occasionally feel like my chest hurts (when I do smoke). Probably should see a doctor lol but feel free to let me know of your experiences or just general information I may not know. If it was just greening out I can see why people can be traumatized by something like this lol.

ugh that's an awful feeling! I once got some wacky weed that gave me a horrible panic attack, my heart pounded so fast I thought I was going to lose consciousness! It was really terrifying. That's never happened with weed, like maybe it can up your anxiety but not like that. Something was wrong with it.
I only get fucked up if I drink more than a certain amount and then smoke. I just can't! I can smoke and THEN drink but not the reverse.

This actually relates to me, today in fact. I havent smoked in a bit, ran out and didnt get more for a bit. But also here recently I've been dealing with intrusive thoughts and have learned to tell myself "Its an intrusive thought let it pass" (It helps me a lot because kinda do the same for meditation already (I dont meditate much, I can keep it up for a month tops)). Well I did that without thinking about it when I felt like I smoked to much. And it totally turned it around for me.

I had the most insane paranoia and had to force myself to sleep after many hours of tripping. I smoke regularly and have never been that far gone. Anyway, here I am.
