Well tonight im going to find out, I found some vitamin c pills and im planning on taking 5.
Each pill contains: 500mg vitamin c, %RDA-833, Cellulose, Lactose, Stearic Acid, Povidone, Maize Starch and Silca
Questions:
im taking 5 pills so i was wondering if any of the above mentioned things would be 'bad' in high quantities?
how long should take them before i smoke?
This is silly.
You're only usually supposed to take a couple of vitamin tablets a day, doesn't it say that on the packet? You'll get the shits or something.
Whenever I need to reduce red eye and sober up, I drink lots of orange juice, and it works.
take 2, not 5. anything in exess is bad for you. one pill should be a days worth of vit C, you dont need to 5X the dose.
tommyj u need to read the questions again
i think ur right legalizethegreen, im gonna take 2
rusults are in:
i smoked about 20 minutes ago
im happily stoned, BUT i would not say vitamin c with weed gets me higher, if it does its only abit....like 10% better high
I actually heard that vitamin c was supposed to make the effects of marijuana wear off quicker not make them stronger. I heard this from a registered nurse who is also a distributor of medical marijuana so...
As far as your specific question is concerned, too much vitamin c will not harm you. It is water soluble so what your body doesn't need it will piss out. Vitamin E, however, is fat soluble, so it will get stored up in your fat. You can have too much vitamin E but it would be pretty hard to do unless you're taking handfulls of supplements regularly for days. The other ingredients are pretty much harmless as well. Cellulose and lactose are sugars, stearic acid is found natuarlly in many foods we eat. Maize starch is a fancy word for corn starch. Silica is basically sand, you'd have a better chance of being harmed by a bag of sand falling off a truck than eating too much. And finally, the rather evil sounding "%RDA-833" isn't an ingredient at all. It's an indication that 500mg is 833% of the recommended daily amount.
You can take about 15-20 grams of Vitamin C before anything really bad will happen. You'll be fine.
Yes, you can... but its a complete waste... 500mg is already FAR much more than the daily needs (833%, or more than 8x). Ive heard the body can absorb at most 500-1000mg/day, so if you ingest more than it, it will be simply expelled unused.
For me, the C vitamin seems make me less sleepy and more alert during the high. I never tried to measure the duration of the high... but im planning to do it today and see what happens.
Yes, this is called sobering up.Quote:

Any vitamin will probably increase blood flow, so it will either help the THC into your brain or it will go into your liver and metabolize. Different for different people I guess.
Not always... i stay high, my mind keeps thinking millions of thoughts per second, and yet feel less sleepy and more alert than if i had not drinked the vitamin c.Quote:

I've heard the same thing, just never in conjunction with bud.
Rather, different substances... But I'll fully attest to the truth of those claims.

I've probably said too much already, remember, the crow flies at midnight!
