Is there anything one should do to avoid feeling tired and lethargic after a day of tokin'?
I'm really mellow and practically 1/4th (no not half) asleep. But I don't wanna feel so lethargic, I wanna smoke again too! I'm not really high, just tired.

Hey i useto have that dilema too man.... but id go with what jimbob said... before u get that feeling smoke another joint...
but somtimes ur low on weed and need to save up... so id do the coffe thing, but fuck ciggarets DONT DO THAT!!
The best for last..... i dont know how old u are but what ive found out what works the best the best... is 1 beer! JUST 1!
your not gonna drink it to get drunk or tipsy... NO! your not sapose to think like that... or youll go for the 2nd, then third, forth and so on, and youll end up fucked up, or even worse a fucken alcohol addict!
what you have to think is... im just gonna drink 1 for the cause.. which is to take away that dumbass head hurt feeling.. and set that as a rule...
but if you dont think your strong enough to resist. stick with the coffee.
*i sure can stick to just drinkin 1 beer...

I find that different strains do different things as far as the lethargic end of it goes. Strains like White Widow and Swazi x Skunk will anihalate you, while strains such as super skunk and Durban Poison don't quite have the same effect.

The reason you feel groggy is because smoking herb causes a temporary increase in seratonin, and high levels of seratonin expand blood vessels, and when these vessels constrict again it is painful, and can cause a drained feeling. The same thing happens with migraines without aura, and sleep is the answer, go catch a quick nap when you feel like crap.

energy drinks work
but if you drink a little to much you feel even worse when you crash
iv neer tried caffine pills but im pretty sure it does something b/c some of my friends take them while smoking weed..

check out the thread in experiences named "how to increase the potency of MJ".
I tried it, and i have to say its DEFINITELY clearer and stronger. Micro a bowls worth for 15 seconds or stick it in the oven @ 325 Fahrenheit in a tinfoil tent for 4-5 minutes (the oven method will start to smell when you come on the 4 min mark). Take this suggestion or leave it, but i am definitely going to do this again, and im sure so will the others who have tried it.
Read the topic, you will see.

I find the best way to beat the grogginess is to get up and go get something to eat. Spend some time away from the pipe, get some food into you and you will feel much better.
If your burnt out just smoke more. It's like hair of the dog.

Doesn't microwaving bud destroy the THC?
That is what you would think, wouldn't you? I thought the exact same thing myself until I went and tried it. It most certaintly doesn't destroy the THC, and I feel it makes it more potent, less harsh, and makes you less sleepy as well. 15 seconds in the microwave, or 5 minutes at 325 with a little tinfoil tent in the oven, or even boiling it as thc is not water soluable.

I was expecting the replies to the first question to be more natural and healthy ways. ;)
Sure, drinking coffee, beer, and of course everyones favorite, the wake and bake, are ways to get rid of that feeling, but these solutions come with other symptoms that you don't want.
I've found that this tired feeling, "stoneover", if you will, happens mostly to people who are occasional smokers(a 2-3 times a week). Now sometimes when you wake up from smoking the night before, at first, you'll feel fine, you're not high, but you don't have a stoneover either. This is because there's THC still in your blood, a small amount, but enough to make it so you don't have the stonever symptoms. In another hour or so, however, sometimes you may find yourself feeling tired, and getting those symptoms.
Also, the amount of sleep you get determines the severity of your stoneover a good deal. Of course, it's possible to sleep through the stoneover, wake up before it, and wake up during it.
So what to do to get rid of this feeling?(without creating later problems) Usually I'll take a shower, get some food in me, drink plenty of water, and some green tea. Another thing I've found that helps for the next day stoneover, is to drink a lot of water while smoking.
It's weird though, before tuesday, I had gone a month and a half without smoking(drug test for job). So come tuesday night, I smoke a pretty good amount, wake up the next day with a stoneover, smoke that night a lot, wake up with a stoneover, smoke that night a lot, and I wake up this morning completely fine. All the same bud. I think this goes with what I said before about if you smoke often enough, you don't ever really get the stoneover feeling.
Ok, I'm done!
peace.

Wrong. THC is out of the blood within 3 - 4 hours after using it. That's why drug tests dont test for THC, but for the cannabinols still in the body. But unless you've only got an hour or two's sleep, theres no THC in the blood.

theres think energy drink called Monster Energy, its like 3 times the size of a Red Bull, has way better taste, bout the same price, and like twice the caffeine. its big with the extreme sport people, u should try it
i would drink it all day if i wasnt so sensitive to caffeine

The microwave or oven smells like bud. It takes a couple of hours for the smell to be gone. You have every reason to believe that I am wrong and everyone else is right, because its common sense that microwaving or putting weed in the oven destroys thc, right? I mean, thats what any normal person would think. Just break up half a jay, or half a bowl, and microwave it for 15 seconds. Try it a few times over two weeks. I will be very surprised if you don't feel any difference. If smell is a problem, I'd go with the microwave.

I fully admit that I don't know the meaning of it, Lip. the huge majority of the times I get banned from forums, or chats, or from a real life social forum, is from not freaking knowing.
Now, is posting a one liner not a flame? I personally don't care what a flame is or not, I just want to know in clearer terms what your delicate sensibilities happen to be vis a vis the internet, text, swearing, and insults. (I have none, but when I get a papercut I wince and grab my hand like a pussy. It's true, I can't stand paper cuts.)
I care, too this is not an insult. All I can hope is that you will take me seriously and not just denouce me as a troll before even talking to me, like most internet jerks :/ (not saying you are a jerk!)
I have no problem with swearing - most people dont. It's just a word. Fuck fuck fuck. Doesnt annoy anyone, or shouldnt annoy anyone.
Flaming is blatant insults - eg: Fucktard, douche bag [that's a popular one with the kiddies who dont know what it means] prick, dickhead, cunt and so on.
The first post you made [before you edited it] was a flame. Uncalled for, insultive, and against the forum rules.

Ok, no flames. I apologize to the OP for derailing your topic. You should try drinking lots of water, that usually gets me over that tired feeling. At the very least you won't have cottonmouth. :rasta:

Nothing wrong with a few beers, they are a nice chill out drink while smoking up for me and if its a beer can you can use it to smoke out of :stoned:
So if you're high 5 hours after you smoked, there's no THC in your blood?
No. THC, the chemical, is out of the bloodsteam with 3 - 4 hours.
It may, however, be stored in fat. Not blood.

lol, I forgot about this thread.
I'll try the microwaving it tomorrow.
I doubt I'll be smoking as much though, I was up to 4-5 times a day and I just can't afford that at the moment. Hopefully I can get a job and smoke as much as I want this summer.
Oh and I don't drink caffeine, so thats definitely not an option. Uppers aren't really my drug of choice anyway, waste of time.
And beer isn't an option as I'm underage, and barely drink as it is.

I microwaved my weed(it was pollen) last night for 5 minutes on full power, as soon as it was done I put it into a bong(didnt have to burn it since it crumbled when i applied pressure on it)...I cant say I noticed a different high although my high seemed to last till I went to bed.
