Smoke yourself sober?

[modest moon]

My girl always says if she smokes too much she can literally smoke herself "straight". I'm not sure whether to believe this or not...I feel as though I may have done it once, but that could've been me overthinking it.

Any thoughts on the smoking yourself sober thing? Truth? bullshit?

[BlackImperialBlood]

I have heard this as well...

I think before that would happen, you would probably just pass out. It is also very unlikely for this to happen and I doubt that there is any scientific proof regarding this subject.

[modest moon]

well i mean, i'm sure there's no "proof", i'm just wondering if anyone else can testify to this happening or not?

[konsealedkoncept]

ive done it- my freinds have, just tell her to keep smokin nd shell be good.

[JeKo]

this actually happens to me alot, i just smoke too much and maybe i forget what its like to be sober or something, but just being high dosn't seem like anything different

[Breukelen advocaat]

Yes, it can happen. I posted that very saying on a thread yesterday - but I said, "smoke yourself straight".

However, if you sit down with about an ounce of very strong hash, and just keep smoking continuously, not even inhaling, for a few hours, you will most likely NOT smoke yourself straight. You'll get extremely stoned, possibly even "tripped-out". That's an old cultural tradition in some countries that make hash, because it's cheap and plentiful.

Its BullShit.. You Can Only Get So High And Then It Will Just Start To Wear Off As Your Still Smokin And Then You Will Just Be Burned Out And That What Makes U Feel Like Ur Sober

[debob]

I reckon it's true, been suffering the same myself lately. I think your body just gets used to it and so it goes unnoticed. Tell her to take a few days off and then see how it feels.

[Gazella]

well i have been smoking for a while and sometimes i just feel stoned enough.. but not stupid. and don't get those pretty red eyes and walk straigh and talk right.. but pretty fuck up in mind

[pass_the_dubbie]

My friend says this all the time..We will be sitting chilled out after smoking a lot and he will utter the words "im sober". Dunno if he actually is sober or not...

[LIP]

I dont think you can smoke yourself completely sober, but after a certain point you wont get any higher, you'll just be inhaling smoke.

Ive smoked myself sober before. It wasnt a pleasant experience, you know, that whole wasting my entire high thing just isnt my gig.

And I was pretty much sober... just sitting there, none of the normal effects that I was feeling even half an hour before.

Granted, it does take ALOT of smoking for it to happen, at least to me. I think we finished off a quarter between two friends and I in under 3 hours. I was baked out of my mind for almost all of it, but then just suddenly I realized I wasnt high anymore, but I was still smoking.. odd experience to say the least.

I see it like this

the more THC in you, the more fucked up you get..to the point you gotta go to sleep.

I find that the sleepy point usually comes before the sober part. I can smoke myself sleepy pretty easily, and occasionally do ass out on the couch or where ever I am at. Pushing through the sleepy stoner phase though is when I eventually end up sober again if I go balls to the wall smoking.

[GotWake88]

I've heard of it, but havent experienced it. My friend once smoked so much within a week that he swore he couldnt get high no matter how much he smoked.

[WalkaWalka]

Man my brother and I used to do it all the time. You just smoke all day. Its not so much that your sobers its more you just don't give a fuck.

[broomstick]

I bought a half Ounce last friday, been smoking every day this week and yesterday I couldnt get high. I smoked 2 joints, went to Chinese for about an hour, feeling ok but no where near high. Then smoked two big bowls and was perfectly sober. It sucked real bad. talk about wasting weed....

[modest moon]

yeesh...I gotta keep this sort of thing in mind from now on. fuck man.

[greenvoodoo]

idk if you can smoke yourself sober

but you definitely cant drink yourself sober :silly:

[MechAnimal]

I've done it, only once i remember, twas a fine night of drinking and smoking, bout 4 in the morning rocks around, and you realise your entirely lucid, i dont think its so much that your sober, its just that you have complete control over your thoughts and actions like a sober person would. its a strange feeling, one thats difficult to describe.

[hateyoul3itch]

i dont think its posble but when im high if anyone asks me if im high i say no because i dont think i am. I obviously act different but i cant remember the day after i realize i was.

[Newbie87]

i do know that you can drink your self sober if your drunk or have a hang over the best thing is to grab some more beer and keep drinking. never done it smokin though

[rastaman79]

its possible to drink and smoke yourself sober we do it all the time in the uk especially in portsmouth.the trick is to keep changin strains(and spirits) my mate grows some killer "hemlock" but after bout a week on it constant it loses potency,but thats cool,you can straighten up for the next crop as it a quickie (8 weeks start to finish!)

I wouldn't say it's possible to "smoke yourself sober". I would say it's 100% possible (and happens a LOT) for your brain to go into a self-protection mode.

Studies have been performed regarding brain chemicals that show that if you give the brain more and more cannabinoids, it will actively seek out and turn OFF the receptors. Meaning, if you smoke a 1/4 oz to yourself in one day, your brain will realize that something is off balance. It will try to fix itself, and turn off the sites of the brain that "feel" high. Then you stop feeling high. At this point the only solution is to take a break. Depending on how much you smoke (and other things like body metabolism, diet, hydration, etc), the length of the break may be different for different people. Have you ever wondered why it's so hard to get that ridiculous high you used to get when you were a newbie stoner? It's because your brain is such a powerful machine that it actively protects itself from going crazy. That's why cannabis is so completely harmless compared to other drugs. Cocaine, heroin, etc... THOSE are destructive permanently, but cannabis only activates a temporary on-off switch inside the brain.

I limit myself to 1-2g per day, and NEVER go to bed high. I smoke every day, and never have to take a break to "get the high back". Keep it in moderation, and LISTEN to your body/brain. If you feel burned out, the solution is not to roll another one. The solution is to drink some fluids, get some vitamins, and help your body regain normality. Perform good eating habits daily and you'll never have to "go on a diet". Same goes for weed. It's stupid to burn through $50 of bud in a day, then spend the next two weeks detoxing so you'll feel high again. Put the pipe down when you're high, and your brain won't fight the herb. It'll work with it and you'll actually start to regain some of the primo newbie high after a little while. Trust me.

Alcohol is of course a completely different story, as it's technically a poison to the body.

Well I know that I can smoke so much that I don't know the difference between high and sober if that counts. You think your sober but you wake up the next morning and go.. what the hell was I thinking last nite?

[Thepossumdance]

i've thought that i'd smoked myself sober but to be honest i pretty damn sure i was just so high my mind thought it was sober. Although every so often when im high i will have short little 10 second trips where i will sorta jump out of the level of highness im out and feel relatively sober...

to be honest though i've smoked about a half ounce wof some amazing club herb with only one other person there, and i sure as shit didnt hit sober at any point during the hour it took to smoke or the time i spent baked outa my mind just following...

[cannabis campbell]

I dont know about that but i doubt it it doenst seem possible, think about it?

The more weed you smoke the more fucked you get.

[greenmeanie]

Don't worry, your brain is FAR more complex than that :)

[CannabisCrooz]

its not literally smoking yourself sober but I know what she means. eventually I just become a stoned zombie, i feel totally in my head, like normal. just tired and slow, its hard to explain i feel totally stoned but in I'm total control and totally sober at the same time. i dont feel high i just feel like i woke up from a shitty nap on a cramped sofa.
when that happens it means its time for a little break to bring down my tolerance
