1/8th of cannabis A Day?

[MrSpliffy]

Hey guys this is SWIM's first post

When SWIM smokes, he always gets 1/8th and it only lasts him one day and half a night. Would you say this is excessive, or about normal, because everywhere he has read, an eighth will last most people a week or thereabouts.

[fnord]

its should only be excessive if its takeing money out of swiy's pocket that swiys dosent have or if smokeing that much interferes with your day when swim buys it he goes thru 1-2 grams a day by himself.it all depends on how much people like to smoke i gusse.swim knows some people that have ounces yet only smoke 1/2 or a full bowl a day.

[MrSpliffy]

SWIM was just wondering if he was abnormally hard to get stoned, it takes most of an eighth, yet he's only been smoking 4-7 months. Also, how much is an eighth is grams, or how much should it be?

[ThePopeIsMyPal]

an 8th is 3.5 grams and u seem to just got a pretty big tolerence to it already id say

[fnord]

dont trust swim on this but he thinks an average metal bowl head fits about .4 grams so a 8th should be about 9 bowls.is that what your getting?do you own a scale or have accsess?maybe swiy is getting ripped off and is really smokeing less tehn he thinks?

[MrSpliffy]

Yeah, thats what SWIM was thinking too, kinda sucks. It also seems like SWIM has been picking up an extra 2 grams every time, he thought they looked huge compared to his friends eighths (they go to different people). SWIM also smoked out one his friends who has smoked for 3 years, and swims weed baked him half to death, talk about couchlock.

[MrSpliffy]

Swim is most certainly getting more than he pays for, by almost 2 grams. Swim uses digital scales, his eighths are usually 5.5-5.7 grams. This makes Swim very pleased, and Swim is sure he makes his dealer very pleased by going back once or twice a week.

[Nature Boy]

SWIM could easily get through an eighth in a day if he was smoking with friends. When smoking alone, he'll only make a joint every several hours or so therefore he wouldn't get through an entire eighth in under 24 hours unless he wanted to get completely baked. To an outsider, that amount may seem excessive. There really is no "normal" level of cannabis consumption.

[D.U.M.B]

SWIM has smoked more and less than an 1/8th in one day as his fellow Swimmers probably have too.

But rarely will SWIM smoke an 1/8th a day to himself but like NB said there is no "normal" level of cannabis consumption.

Didn't Bob Marley claim to smoke a pound a week haha

[MrSpliffy]

Haha yeah, thats fairly heavy! The most Swim has smoked in a week is three ounces, and thought that was fairly heavy.

[meep]

Try rolling less weed into a joint if your smoking joints. swim could easily smoke up an 8th in 4 joints if hes not careful.

Try smoking king skins and not rips. Swim would pack a massive rip and just cain it.

Now swim just rolls king skins with little in and just smokes them slowley. Swim gets a good 8-10 joints this way. just a thought =)

[MrSpliffy]

Swim does indeed smoke joints, but Swim rolls them with rolling tobacco (Golden Virginia), as this was the way he learned from friends. He usually gets about 10-13 joints out of an eighth. Also, one of Swims friends is not yet 18, but wants to buy a grinder and pipe from a local headshop, anyone know what the U.K law on age for buying these is?

[The Doors]

SWIM buys about 5grams a week and usually ends up sharing a lot of his weed with his friends.

SWIM suggests rolling a bunch of pinners, and once you get to roll these things properly, they can last pretty long and get the job done. What I'm saying is that you could probably smoke less then you without compromising the enjoyment of smoking. No need to get completely baked all the time is there?

[pickledsheep]

Whatever you enjoy, if it isn't interfering with your life. Just hope you realize life can be enjoyable sober.

Pot usually loses it's allure after one has finished adolescence. One no longer is faced with emotional shifts and jags that can be made laughable to the person with a bit of grass. Most of the "Horrible Psychological Damage" little Joey is going through when Mommy and Daddy ship him to the Marijuana Re-Hab are attributable to the kid going through puberty. The same stupid parents would have sent Joey to the Nuthouse for puberty without the kid smoking pot. The pot just made the ride more tolerable. And Mommy and Daddy prefered to think of Joey as a victim of the "Devil Weed" - instead of thinking junior had a confusing growth between his oh-so-Christian legs.

By the time Joey - if unmolested by his stupid parents - reaches 18 - 22 years old thereabouts, the pot slowly is reduced and Joey becomes a happier sort as his emotional state stabilizes.

In the circles I travel in, kids smoking pot is considered about as dangerous as masturbation. But Joey's Mommy and Daddy were trained to think that was deadly, too!

SHRIEK!!

(Not to be sexist, but boys have a rougher ride in puberty than girls do. Please refute this if you wish!)

It sounds to swim like you need to find higher quality herb to get more effect with less consumption. Swim has smoked varieties that were certainly more potent than others. Just a thought.

[hh339]

SWiM now smokes about 6 grams of standard hasch a day, OR: About 2 grams of high quality weed a day. So, it all depends on the quality of the product. 1/8 (3,5 grams) could be a lot, could be next to nothing, could be normal, could be waaay too much, could be...

[searcher]

a little more than 3 grams sounds good to swim. Thats a couple fat blizzes, not bad.

Half 8th is nothing considering THC content. Even a 8th is nothing. Quarters or Ounces or evn pounds is when it gets alittle better. Quarter last a week, Ounce maybe last 2 or 3 depending on useage and a pound could last a month? 2?3? Someone brought up marley who not only smoked it but ate it also...depending on the quality it could take a pound or more a day with tolerance comeing into play also. Real high quality Marijuana builds tolerance very very fast while crappy Marijuana just takes lots to even get high.

Excessive? Really just depends on the persons opinion of what excessive really is. No where near excessive in Smurfs eyes definitely since the doses could be anything. THC to plant material, type of Marijuana used, method of use, etc.

One could bake up a ounce in one shot, with a few doses every cake. Lasting alot longer and getting effects alot stronger and better.

[Nadams47]

Try baking your 8th into 10 cookies for a change, and eating it. It's the only way SWIM can take it but SWIM understands the effects, whilst longer to appear, are considerably stronger. The first time SWIM tried it he was stoned for 3 days, but he had eaten 3 cookies thinking it wasn't going to kick in !!!

[copeseticman]

SWIM thinks that it depends on the quality of cannibas you are buying. If it is quality cannibas and it takes a small amount to get you to your desired level of "elevation"

cope

[Knate]

People i know have had VERY poor quality marijuana, in which a single person has to smoke nearly an entire joint before getting a decent buzz, meaning that if you have a few friends smoking with you the eighth can be gone in 4 or 5 joints. in that i dont think its excessive at all. All I have for advice is to tell your friend to either smoke using a small bowl, to conserve the weed better. If they use one of those rolling machinces, stop and roll by hand it requires way more product to roll a joint in one of those because of it rolling so tight a pinner from one of those is next to impossible to hit. If they roll by hand i think they will find that their stash will last much longer.
