good vs. shitty weed

[welshkillabee]

Smoking shit weed means you inhale more burning plant material which affects your high, it makes you somewhat lethargic

[Sinsemilla Jones]

And also the fact that THC's brain receptors don't react in an exactly linear way.
:thumbsup:

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.

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.

To use the imperfect comparison of alcohol - beer, wine and liquor will have different effects even given the same mean percentage of alcohol consumed. They'll all get you just as drunk, but a different kind of drunk, because of the other active and inactive chemicals consumed.

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.

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.

[Reefer Rogue]

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.

[RatedR]

I had a nug of some dank ass shit. 3 hits off the 1 footer and wow, I was tight.

[Fengzi]

I picked out like 10-15 seeds. I still got high, but I don't think it was the greatest. He said there's always seeds, even in the best weed, but I thought he was lying.

He was lying or he's just stupid. I haven't seen a seed in over 5 years

Marijuana plants are like people. There is a male and a female. The male must fertilize the female. If there is no male there is no fertilization and no seeds. Once a plant is fertilized it focuses on seed production and reduces production of THC. Good growers take care not to have any male plants mixed in with the females. That way the plants can focus on producing THC and the best weed possible.

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?

Dude there are sooooo many reasons why good weed is better.

1. its stronger, so you smoke less, so you save money.
2. the highs are better, or 'cleaner'.
3. bad weed can give you a bad rush - it might even be laced.
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.

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.
