Smoking a "blunt" is probably too much for people over 30. Take a couple of hits, and put it out - or take a hit or two from a pipe. As we get older, we do not need as much as when we were in our teens and twenties.

I also find that larger amounts of indica is less likely to cause problems than a similar amount of stuff that is mostly sativa-based. Since I like both, I prefer to keep some of each (mostly indica) around to make it last. When possible, I'll mix a tiny amount of good sativa(s), in with some indica, about 85% indica & 15% sativa, and this seems to balance it out.

The UP side of smoking this way is that you save money, won't run out as often, and will feel better.

I often use a vaporizer (non-electric) pipe, which seems to help.

If we could only get good hash, like the old days, again!
