help on intensity of high

[pyschidelicmann]

the last time swim got high of mj was last weekend. swim has only smoked marijuana about 7 or 8 times and this was the first time he got extremely stoned. it was out of a vaporizer and it was some pretty high quality marijuana. it was very intense and swim liked it at first but soon it started to get very scary. everything went numb. like i said, swim thought this was cool at first but when it wouldnt go away swim started to get worried. for example swim would lay down in his bed and listen to music and he couldnt feel his throat. so swim thought he wasnt breathing. it was very scary because he thought he was choking but soon he started breathing again. swim still doesnt know if he wasnt breathing or he just couldnt feel it. also swim started to get very paranoid. he might have been nervous that he would get caught but at first his heart was beating extremely fast. swim was getting extremely paranoid and thoughts like. "was this laced with speed or something?" "am i going to die?" and thoughts like that kept rushing to swims head. i just kept wanting to be sober. after awhile he calmed down and tried to enjoy the high. he ended up being fine and it was a good night except for those bad things.

im telling you this because tonight swim wanted to do it again but he was wondering what he can do to enjoy the high more rather than worry and be paranoid. is there anyway it can be less intense?

when swim was a teen, many years ago, swim and his friend indulged. Swim enjoyed the indulgance, but, swims friend found it to be a very undesireable experience ,couldnt "think straight",mental confusion and paranoia. Swims friend never indulged again (eventually became addicted to alcohol). Weed affects some swims like that. Try limiting swiy intake.

Simple, smoke less or consider getting a milder strain. Lot's of people get too stoned for their liking when they first get introduced to cannabis. Take small hit's at a time and work swiy's way up to a desired effect. And remember......wait 15 or 20 mins between hit's as it take's a few minute's for the full effects to be felt.

Also set and setting are important to newbie smoker's especially. Smoke in a relaxed enviroment with good friends. Good music help's create a nice atmosphere also.

Keep in mind no matter how baked swiy is.....swiy will not die from cannabis. No one ever has. Swiy must realise this paranoia is all in swiy's head and has no basis in reality. Just cause swiy is stoned doesnt mean swiy cant be logical.

Agreed. SWIM is has been smoking for a while and has noticed that when her tolerance gets low, like after a few days+ without smoking, the next high ends up being way too strong and then comes the paranoia and very uncomfortable body load etc etc..that's why SWIM smokes regularly because at a higher tolerance level cannabis is much more enjoyable and what she was looking for in the first place. However, SWIM isn't suggesting that SWIY starts smoking all the time..that can bring on its own problems altogether.

Basically just smoke less next time..take two hits and wait 10 min, SWIY will be better able to determine how much more he will want to smoke.

ok swim take 2 hits and wait. swim hears everyone talk about how great weed is and he wants to feel it. but so far he hasnt really felt something that great. either nothing at all or too much.

And he continued to smoke for 5 years ? Swiy's friend is an idiot....or else he is full of shit. Why anybody would continue to take a (non addictive) drug which clearly isnt doing them any good is beyond me. Why didnt he use some basic common sense and realise that weed just aint suited for him. Doesnt bother me personally......it's his mental health, but wouldnt you think he'd value it at least.

the problem is that this guy isn't relaxed when he tokes up

i reccomend people get high when they're relaxed, like after they watch something like modern marvels on the history channel or have sex or eat a pop tart

u can't expect the weed to work for u, u must work for the weed
