strange but wonderful thing

i dunno if its just taken me this time to realise, or if its simply a product of having smoked a lot, but whatever the case (and i suspect it is a mix of both), nowadays, i get the most euphoric feeling from weed when its just a small amount. as in, if i smoke more, ill get more stoned but its less euphoric. it can be more enjoyable when more stoned but overall has less wonderful emotion.

something im going to definately look into, but i read an article recently that suggested along these lines and i think that it helped notice this. nickelbag sent me the article, and it also concerned my 'marijuana and coordination' thread

it probably has to do with the parts of the brain that are effected first by the marijuana perhaps, but whatever the case, im in it now and ive realised that usually this feeling gives a slight urge to smoke more in a naive mindset suggesting it will increase ths euphoria.

thoughts, anecdotes?

 

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Do you mean you enjoy your high more if you don't smoke yourself retarded?

 

Interesting observation. I think I enjoy smoking less as well, due to the fact that smoking a vast quantity will end in a tired and hungry crash. ;\

 

no, that would probably not be a postworthy observation

 

it may even have to do with the time span you are consuming your smoke in. when you smoke more does it take you alot longer than when you smoke less? when i smoke alot, i usually spread a few bowls out over the span of an hour. which i find makes the high not as pleasurable as when i take those 4 bowls out of a gravity bong right in a row. having a "euphoric" high, IMO, would have more to do with setting and mind set than the quantity that your smoking. but these are just my observations. I'm not yet researched on the subject, so ill post back when i am.

 

I noticed this awhiel back, I only had a few hits so I just went ahead and smoekd it. It was a much pleasant, luaghing, euphobic experience. Much diffrent than smokign a shit ton of weed.

 

I noticed for me if i dont smoke for awhile and let my tolerance go back up, when i get high again, its kind of unpleaseant depending on the situation. I get too paranoid or something negative happens with my high. Normaly i would have to smoke atleast once everyday to get my normal high feeling back.

 

yeah like when i have a supply of bud on me and i smoked a bowl i do fine but most of the time think like, "mmm i just put a little more in". But when im totally dry and getting the last of my resin from wherever or find small pieces of buds in my comp desk area it suprises me as to how i still feel effected by such a small amount compared to smoking more when I have enough for later.

 

I feel the same way. I usually smoke in small amounts, it just feels nicer and more relaxed than getting totally retarded on the stuff... like I did friday night! ahhh that was wacky! maan

 

In my opinion you've just moved on. Your past the stage of wanting to get completely blitzed (there is a time for that too). Which is good, smoking less is better for you.

Only small amounts for me now, I just feel like crap if I get too high now.

 

hehe well i still like to get stoned, its just a different experience

but yeh now when i get totally stoned its not as fun. my friends are like 'what do you mean you arent havin more, look how much weve got

and joke that its weak or something but its muych better that way

 

yep..if i have like a .5 i can conserve the smoke enough to give me the same high off like 1.5 g's if i just let the smoke rise from the bowl..no what im sayin?

 

i can see what you are saying
definately about the urge to smoke after a little bit, even if i'm feeling good.
i do think it is the thought that smoking more will increase this feeling.

often i notice the smoother the hit(vapo-bong, or just bong), compared to a jointspliff blunt pipe, even bubbler...i get less 'smoked' out

so even though i may be higher, i'll want to smoke more.
i don't know if it's just being used to the feeling of being 'smoked out', or if different chemicals affect you when you burn it as opposed to vaporize. maybe both.

mellow has a good point too, it may be partly due to just not wanting to get real fucked up as much anymore

i'd be interested in reading this article nickelbag sent you, would you mind posting it here?
