A debate on whether or not you can "peak" your high.

[Joexi]

What I mean by that is that you can reach your maximum high. Like, even if you smoked more, it wouldn't do anything. I have yet to reach this peak, if there is one. I just smoke until I decide I've smoked enough (which can be a few hits, or a few bowls).



Who here has hit this barrier, and who here believes it's non existant?

[JOINTMASTER5]

i dont think theres a barrier personally, third eye meditation, look into it, shyt wil make your mind expand like never before,e ver since ive done that, ive experience some unique highs

[ToDrunkToFish]

I smoke until I ask where the fuck a perticular item is. When its in my hand all along. Then I know im done.

This barrier exists, but the "highness" of it depends of the quality of the weed. With schwag/mids (what i used to smoke) is very easy to reach a point where you smoke, and smoke, and dont become more stoned. With good quality weed, its harder to reach the barrier, but its still there, and as your tolerance increases, it becomes easier to reach it.

Or, if were to say exactly what happens. If you smoke twice the amount you smoke usually, you dont become twice stoned. Like... you smoke 2x and became 1.5x stoned. If you smoke 3x, you become 1.8x stoned. If you smoke 4x, you become 2.2x stoned... and so... the "barrier" effect comes with large amounts of weed.
Like... if you smoke 10x more weed, you become 3x more stoned. If you smoke 20x more weed, you become 3.2x more stoned... If you smoke 30x more weed, you become 3.3x more stoned... so, strictly speaking, there is not a real "barrier", but what happens is you need to smoke much more to get a small increase of the level of the high.

Note that this numbers are in no way exact. They are only an example of what i mean.

Theres a limit for toking, but when it comes to eating the skys the limit

[BUZz UK]

yeah, i get to a point if i've been smoking spliffs all night, where you don't get any higher. If you have a bucket or something it fucks you a lot harder though...

[MinusRyan]

personally i believe there is a point, but you'd have to smoke the ounce by yourself.

[make it legal]

I hear you can smoke yourself sober. I don't believe it but I've heard from a few people.

[JOINTMASTER5]

u just enter the weed reality, then it seems like your sober, but your lookin at everyting thru a weed perspective without buggin out or trippin, som ppl that been smokin for a long time r usually like this all the time

[AsianStoner420]

Never hit the highest of the high,... coz evrytime i try it makes me go to sleep,.. like im already stoned as fuck and smoked another one im just gonna find myself lying on the couch not moving for like 1 hour then ill just go to sleep whiich is a really big waste of weed,..if u know ur high enuf, i recommend not to smoke more,...

[JOINTMASTER5]

lol the "american high"

[pass_the_dubbie]

I have noticed the peaks a few times but it was only when I was taking a lot of weed at once. Like the first time I took a lung I went into the weirdest high ever, I was sitting in a room but I forgot the room was there apart from the bit I was looking at. Then I smoked a few joints and although I was really high I was falling....not quickly....just not on the same high....like it went to a normal high.

[Wintersweet]

I completely agree with Coelho. I may keep getting higher with each hit I take, but it's not enough of a significant amount to make me keep smoking, because then I feel like I'm wasting it.
Like, instead of smoking that extra 1/8 to see if I can get myself even closer to the point of passing out, I'd rather wait till my high dies some. Then that 1/8 will get me farther.

I dunno, I like to think of it as a scale out of 100, I can be at an 85, and smoking that extra 1/8 will only bring me to an 87.
But if I let myself wait until I'm at a 50, and smoke that 1/8, I can get back up to an 85.

Does that make any sense?

[Samwhore]

I hear you can smoke yourself sober. I don't believe it but I've heard from a few people.

It's not a feeling of being sober, it's a feeling of being more aware of your surroundings and almost Deja Vu, it feels like your in a painting.

But for this thread, you can't get any higher than passing out.

[Oneironaut]

I don't think there really is a barrier. As long as you introduce more THC into your system, you're going to get higher. Whether or not you notice it is a different thing; it can be hard to tell the difference between being really really high and being really really high plus some, for the same reason it's hard to tell the difference between something that's 50 feet tall and something that's 51 feet tall.

[Purple Banana]

I think the barrier is just your nerve receptors being overloaded, and it can't process the THC fast enough, but if you smoke more, you could get higher, that is, after a break from smoking because your recepters are used to withstand a higher tolerance...

Does that even make sense?

[Skwirl07]

Yeah I dunno if you could ever physically reach the peak.. At least for me every individual time I smoke I get higher and in certain instances where I've smoked as much as I can I just fall asleep before I find out. Before passin out I still get higher so I dunno lol...

[Matt the Funk]

I think there is a peak. Its just like, after I smoke so much(like I will be doing friday) I know I won't be getting much higher...and smoking that extra weed will be a waste.

[originalblu]

the peak is when you pass out, if you can stay up and smoke more, then you will get higher.

Every sense... i was trying to say exactly this, and you put it in a way far understandable than i. :thumbsup:
