Sucrose posted:I need a “Have a good high rather than bad high” guide. Make sure you feel safe and comfortable, have a couple things planned, even if it's just "watch this movie," have a drink and some food ready in an easy spot to get to, maybe make sure your most pressing real world responsibilities are handled. Suggested music: Spyro Gyra - Catching the Sun e I also really liked the movies 2001: A Space Odyssey and Quest for Fire (Clan of the Cave Bear isn't as good, just rewatch Quest for Fire). YouTube also has a whole grip of recordings of Terence Mckenna lectures set against spacey music and visuals, those really did it for me for a while. Go one bowl at a time, and examine what you're feeling. Cannabis isn't really a party drug, even though parties usually include some.

Try not to bring any baseless anxiety with you and it won't be there to get multiplied. Buy some industrial cbd hemp too, and blend a bit with whatever else you got.

weed is boring the hell out of me, i either need a new strain or i need a longer t-break edit: i guess i use it to deal with depression/ptsd and it isn’t really helping for that anymore, too

I've got the same issue and I've found that vaping at a lower temperature or vaping different stuff entirely fixes it. Some weed does it and some weed doesn't. Durban poison at 430 makes me anxious, at 370 degrees doesn't make me anxious. African queen doesn't do it to me at all.

This is a real phenomena; different cannabinoids vaporize at different temperatures and seem to have slightly different effects. You can also decarb concentrate/weed for longer to get a sleepier edible out of it.

I think when weed is no longer serving the purpose you want it to, i.e. not helping with depression or anxiety or ptsd or whatever else, it's time to take a T break and re-approach your relationship with it. I've been trying to practice mindfulness more often and trying to be more aware of my own self and emotions, and that's helped fill some of the gaps during my t break. I am hoping that after a month off, I can get back to a bit more casual relationship with it, because I think that's gonna be more successful for me and what I want out of it.

Also, if you've never done it, buy some cheap weed and throw it in a mediocrely sealed container for 4-6 weeks, then smoke it. CBN is fuckin' awesome for sleeping

Thanks for the response. Glad you’re looking into mindfulness—that was going to be my suggestion (and something I’ve also been working on). Sucrose—echoing the advice re temperature. I rarely vape above 350-360 anymore. Supposedly, that gets you all the happy/stabilizing chemicals (beta caryophyllene, myrcene, limonene, CBD at the highest point), without the anxiety and without the sleepy chemicals (CBN and THCV, primarily). Don’t know how seriously to take lab environment boiling points when vaping black market “Chemdawg,” and you definitely leave some THC on the table,but it’s served me well so far.

Sounds like you're close to a month and having a net positive experience. Whenever I feel comfortable making that call I guess. For me the pandemic made it really easy to fall into a smoke weed everyday habit. I don't want to do that indefinitely since it clearly has some negative effects for me. I had a 4 day weekend when I started this break where i took a mini trip a few hours out of town and just didn't bring any weed with me. After that it was relatively easy to keep my daily habit broken. I might start smoking again on weekends or something once I feel like my system is cleaned out but I don't really have any concrete plans. I might try to just keep it a social thing when I'm with friends instead of what I do when I'm bored at home. My only real goal is to just not do it every day

I got some Cheese Whiz (Skunk #1 x Afghani) and even mixing with CBD my anxiety went nuts. So I don’t know if it’s a strain thing, or a terpinolene one since it’s almost a 1% batch. I vape everything at 380 so maybe stepping it down some might help (this does have some thcv though so either way I won’t be getting any of that)

Vivian Darkbloom posted:If you're in a legal state, look for high CBD varieties. It's supposed to moderate the anxiety-inducing effects of THC. Thanks. It was an edible I had that made me all nervous like that. I didn’t even have that much, it was like 10 mg, but it was bad enough I was just laying there wishing for it to end for an hour or so. I don’t know if I was just too high or things went sidewise somehow. I’m fine smoking a couple bowls. Crimson Harvest posted:Try not to bring any baseless anxiety with you and it won't be there to get multiplied. Ha, that’s not going to happen. I have an anxiety disorder and maybe the problem is just that too many of the thoughts that go through my head are worries and it gets really unpleasant when it feels like each thought takes about 5 minutes to complete. Obviously, I don’t have this problem when I’m drinking alcohol, but I prefer weed to alcohol because a) I don’t have to get up and piss constantly when high, and I sober up in just a few hours instead of being hammered all night b) I reeeaally don’t want to fall into a pattern of drinking every night and becoming an alcoholic.

I need to go back on a t break/take a longer one this time. However, over the weekend I got insanely high and watched Godzilla vs Kong, which was basically the experience I've been chasing for months, so I feel I'm in a more satisfactory place to take a break now.

Sucrose posted:I need a “Have a good high rather than bad high” guide. For me the key is mainly the amount and the situation. If I get too high the anxiety just spikes, so a couple puffs of weed or a single medium-sized dab hit is plenty. And not getting high in situations where it doesn't make sense and won't help anything. Weed also doesn't help me sleep at all like it does some people, in fact it makes me incapable of sleeping until the main high has worn off. So basically, just using discretion and smoking at the right time, when I don't have much to worry about and I can just kick back and watch or play something. And then discretion in the amount as well.

Another way to avoid anxiety (this helps but doesn't actually fix it) is to have something ready to do as soon as you've stopped smoking so you don't just think anxiety thoughts. Have a podcast or music or video game or whatever ready. Don't stop smoking, amble into the kitchen, and do some washing up while thinking your hosed up anxiety thoughts.

Small basic rear end poo poo like yard work, vacuuming, cleaning, all that stuff owns bones while high. It's great because you have a defined "thing" you need to do and you can keep your high rear end focused on it while not hating what your doing. My personal favorite for the past year+ has been doing bike repair/restoration. Every time I gently caress things up, I actually get to spend the time working through the problem and figuring out how to fix it. Satisfying as poo poo.

Im trying GSC for the first time tomorrow  So far I have tried: Gorilla Glue - very strong, good taste, good for when you want to be sociable. Super Silver Haze - Also strong, piney sorta flavor, great for going to sleep. Big Kush - good all-rounder that is v strong and v tasty.

best way to deal with a bad high or trip in general of youre not able to prevent it altogether is get up and go do something else. Leave the room you're in at the very least. Plan things that you can do ahead of time to occupy your thoughts if you get in a bad place. It seems simple but if you sit around in your head thinking paranoid or anxious thoughts you can and will get stuck there especially on weed and other psychedelic drugs. my go to is i will take my dogs out for a walk if i need to calm down or distract from uncomfortable thoughts. if youre very new to getting high going out in public might not be such a good idea so come up with something that works for you at home. videogames are great distractions. or a movie/tv show youve seen already.

One of my go-tos is bed + comfort movie/show. Like bed+King of the Hill is basically a magic "you're not dying" potion whenever I'd get way too hosed up. But if you can do it, walks are wonderful as well as exercise, video games or anything that distracts you

Lying down and taking a nap always mellows me out, and unless I got way too high, I can try getting high again when I wake up. Or I wake up 10 hours later still in my clothes with the lights on.

Me my arm just hurt for a few days so i guess im lucky.
