My friend is unable to get high, it seems.

[Lethal G]

One of my best friends seems to have trouble getting high. I don't mean like a little bit of trouble either. I sat down with him the other day and watched him smoke 3 full bowls of some decent mids mainly to himself. On top of that, I was sharing the blunt I had rolled for myself with him. He didn't get high in the least bit according to him (I was quite baked after sharing 3 bowls and a blunt, lol). I know he's doing all of it right, because he's holding it in for probably an upwards of 20 seconds before exhaling and he exhales a lot of smoke on top of that. I made sure he wasn't torching the weed in the bowl too much as well.

He told me before that he wasn't able to get high at all no matter what he smoked (he claims even the almighty white widow didn't work for him). I was a little doubtful which is why I was with him while he smoked these bowls to himself. I thought maybe he just wasn't doing it right, and gave him tips while he smoked. However, much to my disbelief, he still wasn't able to feel its effects. It makes no sense at all to me.

You guys have any suggestions as to how to get my cannabis-immune friend high?

[tendonut]

your dumb obviously hes not inhaling...share the weed with people who know how to smoke.

[Big Calhoun]

Maybe he has naturally high tolerance. If these were his first few times, maybe he needs to wait a while before he tries again. But it's not altogether unheard of that someone can't get high from smoking.

[tendonut]

if you dont get high your first time its because you dont know how to smoke perioud.

He's inhaling large amounts and holding them in for 20+ seconds..I know it's a large amount as well, as I can see it when he exhales. It seems he knows what he's doing, at least in my views.

This isn't his first time trying, as I mentioned in my post. He's tried on a countless number of different occasions with no success.

He may just be one of these people. This wasn't one his first few times; he's tried a lot in the past. It really makes no sense to me either, lol. Do you think I should try weed in a recipe to see if it works for him then?

[1234abcd]

He's not smoking it right...I agree....dont waste your weed on him.

[tendonut]

Trust me theyres not such a thing as resistant to high levels of thc or cannabinoids... Hes just sucking in the smoke doesnt mean hes actually breathing it in and opening his lungs.

[Pipe Camp Counselor]

My prescription: A hit off an asthma inhaler (to open bronchial tubes) then a few hits off a gravity bong. Make sure he inhales and holds it in as long as possible. Repeat as necessary.

[bobmarleyjr.]

R u sure that this "friend" isnt actually you? looking for ways to get high becuase you cant?




Na im jus fuckin wit u, but im bored..sorry

[YouD0nt]

[captaindredd]

Stop acting like you know everything for a fact ... every damn word you say is nothing but heresay, and there's been ZERO research on the subject, so bloody stuff it. :) Thanks.

[Gothen]

I was thinking what UnitedParcelSecrets was thinking, but not as harshly.

Think about it, there are over 6 billion people on the planet, and there have been over 6 billion people DIE on this planet. Surely, SURELY, some of them most not be able to feel the effects of THC.

It's a matter of fact that God put THC receptors in our brains, it's a matter of opinion on whether or not he's allowed all of them to work in every one of us.

I'd say your friend just can't get high. I have a friend who gets SICK off weed, like she's allergic to THC. And none of you should come back spouting, "Thats bullshit. No one can be allergic to THC." THC is a drug, like any other, my friends. If milk can make some people sick, weed can too. We've tried to get her high on 3 seperate occasions, each with a different kind of weed from a different dealer and they've all gotten her sick-to-her-stomach-i-can't-move-for-fear-of-puking sick. It sucks, but it happens to some people, ya know?

Give your friend a pat on the back, say, "Sorry, bud..." and then hand him a fifth of SoCo and say, "Let's have some fun tonight!"

[D1me]

make him some pot brownies or firecrackers. it's probably his lungs that are the problem, with eating it you guarentee that the thc gets into his bloodstream

The only problem I see with making things like that is human error. Cooking cannabis to get THC active can be a tricky thing, ya know? You're almost guaranteed to fail your first time. I know I did, and I dont' mean with small amounts. I'm talking about using an entire ounce; 120 bucks worth of cannabis. And it STILL didn't get me fucked up. Then again, my friend was saying how he couldn't feel his body anymore, so I don't know....

This is why I have friends who are experienced a bit with cooking with cannabis. They've shown me how to do it properly, even though I'm scared to try it myself yet lol.

Either way, I think I would rather make some pot brownies or something like that to see if he gets anything out of it. If he still doesn't, then I guess he could be one of the "immune" people to THC.

I think sometimes it might be brain chemistry. I have a weird problem with not being able to get high too, but it's probably different from your friend's situation, because I used to smoke plenty of weed and was able to get really fucking high... this was like maybe five or six years ago...then for one summer I was practically imprisoned by my parents and couldn't smoke, so I sat in my room all day trying to meditate to get 'high' and just trying all sorts of desperate stupid things like sniffing white out (which of course never did what I wanted them to because all I wanted was some weed)...after i went back to school and tried to smoke again, it has never ever worked like it should. it really is weird. It's like my brain developed some sort of barrier towards getting euphoric because it's so afraid of coming down, at least that's what I'm thinking. I mean, I really have tried. Gravity hits...etc...it's not a problem of intake quantity and it's definitely not a problem with not 'smoking right'. I do feel effects, they're just not what anyone would enjoy, and knowing well personally what it's like to be high, I can tell you right away that what I feel when I smoke just isn't it. It really was horribly depressing and confusing for me at first, and I just kept on trying. Now, years later I've learned to just say no when people are smoking. At first I felt really disconnected from the sort of communion I felt with friends when we shared some weed, and like I said I continued to try to get that feeling, but the only thing that happened, especially if I just kept smoking more and more, was like this sort of...you know like that sound that comes over uma thurman in kill bill when she's going to kill someone? yeah it's kind of like that going on in the background, and I can sometimes see or hear things people never said but that I later realized I read from their face or just from their aura I guess. It may sound cool....but most of those things are things that I've realized are best kept unknown or unacknowledged and it's really downright terrifying sometimes. I don't know, things got weird is the best way to put it. I don't fully understand it, but I would say if you just can't get high, there's a good reason and you should just turn your mind to other endeavors. It could mean that you're in a state of permahigh... use it to just be who you are and go beyond the need to go up and down dramatically

[dziendobry4]

Perhaps said friend is on medications that prevent him from feeling high. i tried Welbutrin (a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, therefore desensitizing my neurons to dopamine because of the elevated amount) and smoking a whole blunt barely got me stoned. Antipsychotic meds will also inhibit the high.

Try making him some Green Dragon. If you don't wanna cook the herb up, just let a half ounce of reg/mid sit in a fifth 100+ proof alcohol for a month (the higher proof the better; I use Bacardi 151 or Everclear). If this doesn't get him stoned, then that sucks for him lol.

[smokin dope]

more weed for u :pimp:

[kapnobatai]

Strange

[jayc1560]

Sucks for him! Luckily for me, I'm stupidly lightweight to it and get ridiculously high off pretty much 3 hits, sounds like the opposite :)
