What's the big deal in the difference of the quality of weed? If you have crappy weed, just smoke more and more and get as high as you want. Or does better-quality pot give an inherently better high? If so, how?

smoking better weed is an all round better experience. it tastes better, it smells beter, and yes, u can get MUCH higher off of it, (no matter how much schwagg u smoke, u wont get as high)
so stop smoking djat.
It definately makes a difference. I remember one time I bought some 'dank' off this guy. It SUCKED. I mean smoking two full bowls got me as high as one joint. On the other hand, I had some shit recently where three hits had me blizzied, 4 hits put me to sleep. So the quality definately does make a difference.

2. your throat and lungs will thank you
3. Less smoke inhaled makes you feel less groggy, shitty, out of it (in a bad way), etc.
4. Better weed gives you a better, longer lasting high
5. It tastes better
6. It smells better
7. it looks better
Finally somebody who can understand this. I was begining to think that nearly everyone on this board lacked basic math skills.:pQuote:

you have to smoke less of it to get high, and the high is much better
I like to call that the ceiling of the weed.The absolute highest it can get you.With shit weed the ceiling is much lower than with dank weed.:)Quote:

He said there's always seeds, even in the best weed, but I thought he was lying.
what are some of the best ways to differentiate between good/bad weed, even if its broken up?
1. Smell. if it smells strong as fuck and danky, it will 99.9% of the time be dank.some of us can differentiate between smells of different strands of weed.just takes time and variety of weed.Quote:

keep smokin that dank, and how much did you buy from your friend that had 10-15 seeds in it???
I bought it for 10 bucks, it was just a little sack, wasn't nugs or anything, maybe a 16th??
I'm thinking about getting an 8th soon, hopefully checking it out first, making sure it's decent. thanks for the tips.
omfg man! 10-15 seeds in a 16th?! i think you must be mistaken...that would be about half the sack of seeds. i have NEVER found a seed in any sack ive ever bought.ive been smoking for a little over a year and have probably bought about 5 ounces total...and never a seed. this is insane!
hmm....maybe I'm fucking retarded, but arent the seeds like a millimeter or so in diameter?
Yeah, I was surprised too, I couldv'e sworn there was that many, maybe more like 8, but they were small, black or brown hard round things, so my only conculsion is seeds hahah.

Of course, that was one of my first times buying off a guy I wasn't familiar with.. so I really had no idea what to look for. But I won't lie... it did get me pretty damn stoned. Since then, of course I only buy the dankest bud I can find and I know what to look for in good bud. A seed here and there doesn't bother me at all, when I actually get bud with seeds in it. I'm not one of those stubborn people that can't have ANY seeds in their bud.. a couple is fine. But as of late, everything has been the most awesome non-seedy dank. :D
But yes... there is weed out there that has TONS of seeds in it. Be happy you haven't run across it! Booo
Awww man, that must suck. When i first started smokin all i could get was shake too, the highs i got were pretty crappy (as well as the price's for the fucking shake me and mate used to get), but now i got a decent hook up and he's a good guy who brings you dank smelly huge nugs :D :stoned: Mmmmmmmm
Iā??ll go for better weed any day if I have a choice, but there is no shame in picking up a sack of bammer if itā??s cheap. Itā??s a lot better to smoke something than nothing.
i disagree with nothing said except for this... it may take more, but if you consume just as much active ingredient from the shitty weed, that you do from good weed, you'd be just as high, quality has shit to do with thc/blood content level... therefore this can be nothing else but false. and before anyone says that i'm wrong tell me how the quality of the bud, can possibly have any outcome on the thc/blood content level. it's still the same plant, it's still the same chemicals (couldn't think of a better word, 4 in the morning and about to sleep) in both, they can both get you just as high, the only question is how much it would take.Quote:

Good weed, fo' shizzle. If you can get good weed, smoke good weed.
Peace
doesn't high quality reefer have higher quality all around cannabinoids. in what i mean is aren't some of those super strains bred to give you a special high.

Smoking shit weed means you inhale more burning plant material which affects your high, it makes you somewhat lethargic
And also the fact that THC's brain receptors don't react in an exactly linear way.
:thumbsup:
CBA, CBC, CBD, CBN, and other active and even non-active chemicals affect the end experience by both interfering with THC's absorption and attenuating its high with more sedative effects. Also, since no method of extraction is perfect, any end product will still be somewhat affected by the properties of what you start with.Quote:

However, timing also plays a major factor. The quicker the drinking, the more intense the drunk. And the smaller bulk of liquor gives it a big advantage over beer, although most beer drinkers can certainly compensate if they wish. But say the beer drinker had to have a glass of water and/or eat a plate of food with each beer, while the liquor drinker could just do shot after shot. The food and water handicapped beer drinker could never get as drunk as the pure liquor drinker.
:stoned:
Of course, alcohol and THC are different, because alcohol depresses the Central Nervous System directly, while THC has it's own receptors in the brain. The cumulative effect of THC is therefore different and doesn't translate as well to a percentage in the blood. Quantity and timing of the exposure of the receptors apparently affects the reaction of other receptors as they are exposed. In fact, after a certain point, the receptors will no longer react to continued exposure, thus why marijuana will only get you so high in general and perhaps somewhat explains the ceiling effect in specific as well.
Marijuana works in complex and mysterious ways.
:smokin:
At any rate, the ceiling effect, an excellent term btw, is most certainly true.
:pimp:
Sometimes with the lower grade weed you run across a bag thats actually a really good high, but probably looks and smells like shit. With all higher grade weed it always looks and smells good, but you may also run across bags that take you longer to get high.
The higher the thc content the better.
After all the comments people make with low mids, high end mids, regs dank and even swagg, if it gets you stoned, its cannabis, and therefore doing what you want it to.
I had a nug of some dank ass shit. 3 hits off the 1 footer and wow, I was tight.
He was lying or he's just stupid. I haven't seen a seed in over 5 years :DQuote:

That way the plants can focus on producing THC and the best weed possible.

3. if you always got bad weed no one will want to smoke with your cheap-ass.
4. if you smoke with ppl with good weed - they'll be all like 'hey man, why do you always bring your cheap-ass bad weed to my place.
5. if you ever had chronic you'll understand the difference.
PS - BREY FROM JOHANNESBURG!!! WORD UP BROTHER FELLOW S.AFRICAN RIGHT HERE!
Schwagg, especially brown shit wont get you high, it wont even get you half-baked, more like half-buzzed. The most you get from low shit is a warm head, low eyes and heavy body but it's very mild, and still tolerable..you wont be stumbling and shit. But good quality weed usually has a strong high, you sit there waiting for it to happen then all of a sudden it consumes you and your brain walks into the high and your in a new world for how ever long and experience wonderful things. Then you come down feeling really sleepy, after you satisfy your munchies you feel like your body is just refreshed and you go get some sleep lol.Quote:
