Third time trying herb....still not great?

[silverspring07]

I tried some very potent weed when I was still relatively new to smoking and it gave me the paranoid feeling you are describing --I did not feel mellow or relaxed at all, I could barely move and 2 minutes felt like an hour. When someone spoke there was a huge echo effect, which was weird.
The stuff I have bought since then has been a lot less potent, but it gives me a very relaxing high and just makes everything I do more enjoyable (still able to function.) Maybe since you are a noob you should work your way up to the more potent stuff. Also, I smoked several times before I really got the high I was expecting, so don't give up.

Dear Beautiful,

First of all, i think you choose your environment VERY well... If i had a bathtub, im sure i would reach the nirvana while smoking... :jointsmile:
You did well smoking slowly too. This way you could control better the level of the high.

Anyway, i think you didnt smoked enough to reach a real high. It seems you felt just a bit of the effects. The vertigo is one of most notable effects of the indica high. When youre HIGH from indica, you lay down and feels like youre moving (or spinning) at a great speed... you can almost feel the wind on your face... it is nothing more than an extreme vertigo... for me (and im sure for a lot of stoners) its a very pleasant feeling...

Woozyness and dizziness are "classical" effects of indicas too... when people say indica gives a "couchlock" high, is because sometimes you just have not another option else stay locked to the couch, feeling your body is somewhat melted, completly dizzy, with the mind sloooow, somewhat confused, but also happy and peaceful...

The anxiety you felt can be probably an mental reaction, like a "trauma" from your first (and unpleasant) experience. Maybe you started to feel some effects, then remembered of the first experience, become afraid, and so the anxiety. I say it because indicas are used by people to control anxiety (and not to create it).

I dont know what exactly you expect from weed. If you could say your expectations, i would try point out the better type of weed (indica/sativa) for you try.
Anyway, keep trying. And, most important of all, let it go. Go wherever the "trip" take you. If you feel dizzy, enjoy the dizziness... If you feel confused, with the mind wandering aimlessly, enjoy it. Try enjoy the "trip", and im completly sure earlier or later youll be very well rewarded.

And as another people already posted, try doing some pleasurable things while high, like listening music, or eating chocolate (chocolate while stoned is the seventh heaven...), os just talking nonsense with a friend (stoned too, preferibly)... :stoned:
So, good luck, and keep posting!

To answer your question, the kind of high I'm looking for is one that includes feeling very happy, relaxed, and giggly. I want to have fun with friends without wanting to fall asleep, but I have to admit, the dizzyness and vertigo make me feel sick. Any suggestions on what names of weed I might be more tolerable of? Thanks for your help. :hippy:

yeah it took me around 5 times to love the stuff.

btw i take around 20 hits to get high so 2 hits barely does anything

Jeez.. 20?! Either your smoking HORRIBLE stuff or your the most Tolerant person on the face of the planet!

^Yea for real. But there are a lot of people out there that think they need a lot more weed to get high than they really do. You should get plenty high smoking even 0.1 - 0.2 grams at a time.

Well... if you wanna feel happy, giggly and not dizzy, you should smoke a weed with more sativa-like then indica-like character. But it must have some indica too, for help to relax and avoid any anxiety. So, i think the better for you is a mix of the two.

If you still have the weed you smoked first time, try mix it with this weed you smoked last time. About the same quantity of each. If you have not, heat your weed in the microwave some 20-30 seconds, before you smoke it. It will make the weed more sativa-like (as the heating decarboxilates/isomerizates the cannabinoids). Note that heating the weed will make it dry, and it will burn way faster, so you must take smaller hits.

Try again in the same environment of the last time (which seems perfect for me), smoke slowly, and enjoy a very good trip! :jointsmile:
Good luck! :thumbsup:

I don't know about all the times and shit. The first time i truly enjoyed smoking was when i found my own intake.Your supposed to take good hits but you need to get comfortable with it. Ppl are also good.
