Hi there, I'm a 59 year old female mmj user. The time distortion is normal and you'll just have to figure out a dosage by trial and error, like the rest of us did. I strongly recommend that you get a vaporizer. They are way easier on the lungs than a pipe. I toked for 40 years and my lungs were a mess! Two weeks after getting a Vapor Brother's, my lungs were clear! I got mine at discountworldonline.com. Good price and good service. As a medical user, you may want to visit treatingyourself.com- a medical marijuana site. Lots of good people there and since we are mostly mmj users, the tone is a bit more mature and serious than Cannabis.com (You guys are great, too, but in a different way.) - Granny:stoned:
