Cannabis Disappointment

[Breukelen advocaat]

As much as many of us like it, most people do not. I don't care for many of today's varieties and strains, either - and often don't smoke much, or any at all, for long periods because of this. Conversely, there have been times in my life when I used it extensively.

Remember, the people that use and enjoy it are in the minority - and always have been.

Breukelen advocaat Reviewed by Breukelen advocaat on 11-21-2006. Cannabis Disappointment So here's my story. Pretty much beginning in June I had a slight, sliiight interest in trying out marijuana. I was 16 at the time and I guess it was about time I gave up the whole 'straight edge' thing and saw what all the hype was about. Why are there songs written about it? Shirts that say 'Legalize it!' and just, what is this great substance I've been missing out on? I had, and have, no interest in drinking. From what I've seen, every person I've met who drinks frequently has no Rating: 5

Am I going to be the only one to say your boyfriend is controlling? Hasen't been the sign of a comfortable enviorment in all my years. I Think its funny that when you enjoyed being stoned, it was with your best friend. My advice is somke some pot with someone you enjoy being with, and someone whos not telling you what to do.

That folks who can't get high are suffering from an endocannabinoid deficiency. Endocannabinoids are body-produced chemicals that are needed for a lot of bodily functions. Without them, you are very sick! The theory goes that if you lack endocannabinoids, you can't get high because your body snatches them to make the endocannabinoids that you need. So none of it gets to your brain- no THC in the brain, no high! The solution is to smoke more and improve your diet! (Modern diet is just a slow way to die- chlolesterol, transfats, no fiber, vitamins processed out, no raw foods except a bit of watery iceberg lettuce, etc) You might find this to be an interesting article-- http://www.freedomtoexhale.com/clinical.pdf Russo is dealing with extreme cases, but the basic idea is interesting. The psychological side of things should be considered, too. If you feel uncomfortable for any reason, it cuts into the high. You got high with your friend, but not with your boyfriend. Think about it. That high was more like it's supposed to be. The flavor of pot varies as does the high. I like the heavy indicas (fat leaves, "heavy" painkilling high-I get migraines if I don't toke), but my hubby likes sativas (skinny leaves, an "up" party high- sometimes with paranoia). Your different effects may be due to a difference in varieties. Ask your friend if he knows what type he had. Your paranoia suggests that it was a sativa. Take care of yourself. Get a vaporizer. Keep toking Granny Storm Crow :stoned:

There is no way I am reading this whole thread, but there are really only three main reasons for not getting high..

- Getting too high, too often (tolerance)
- Not inhaling properly
- Not smoking good enough weed

I actually bothered to read the whole thing, and conclude that I have no idea what's up.
Only getting high some of the time is weird.
Yeah it must suck to never be high. I wish I could help.

You shouldn't feel so much pressure to smoke. You have been doing it for a while and havn't been very pleased with the results. I would suggest you tell your boyfriend to smoke if he likes, but you don't want to anymore. You are spending money on grass, literally. If it isn't getting you high, there really isn't any point in buying it. Some people do have a hard time getting high, some never can. The only possible reason I could think of is that you aren't inhaling right, but you said you are.

I'm not sure, but I think the best option is to stop spending money on it. If your boyfriend isn't alright with you not smoking, dump him. Why should you be forced to go through the motions of smoking if you aren't even getting high. I imagine that would be rather annoying.

Any way, best of luck with which ever dicission you make, but I would give it another month tops, and if still you don't get high regularly I would suggest sobriety.

ROFL, this post made me laugh. Trust me, the first few times I smoked marijuana I hated it also. But I was convinced that if sooo many people loved it there was no reason why I should quit trying to reach the gold. And one day...I got high, the scary stuff tried to attack me and I said NO, I'm getting high and I'm gonna enjoy it. And that is just what I did and I've been enjoying it every since. If you aren't enjoying it then rather you realize it or not there is something you are not liking. Find out what it is and overcome it. Just keep trying it and don't give up. You'll get what marijuana has to offer once you become used to the effects enough to ignore them .

ok, i know what youre going through. the first few times i tried weed were really confusing, and a bit scary. sometimes i would get WAY too high and could not handle it well. the only cure to this issue is experience. i felt shitty and down 24/7 for about a week after i started smoking pot daily. sooner or later though, i became used to it all and it started to get very enjoyable. my advice is: smoke a few bowls every night for a week before you go to sleep. no, it will not make you a druggie looser, you just need to become used to it. right now im dry and do it every few days, but i never feel shitty like right when i started toking. weed now makes me feel good and happy.

marijuana completley changes you when you start (maybe some people dont get affected as much by these changes, but for me they were huge). like you, i said that weed is not for me... but thankfully i did not quit. before i kept feeling down and whatnot, but now its all good. so yeah, get high a few more times regularly and you will begin to enjoy it. also, make SURE you are in the most comfortable environment you can be in. the last thing you have to worry about is getting in trouble, etc, therefore ruining your high.

good luck!

I enjoy weed more than anyone I know, and I've often wondered why on earth anyone wouldn't like weed. I realized through experience that not everyone enjoys it and Storm Cow gave a good scientific thought as to why that is. Also, the notion that men can hold liquor better than women isn't just a steroetype; men have an extra enzyme in their stomachs that allows them to metabolize alcohol faster than women. Their might also be a gender-specific reason why you or other women might not enjoy weed as
much. I hope I don't sound masogonistic (sp?). There's no reason why you can't just not try to get high anymore and just say it's not for you. Peace!
