I'm not getting as high as I usually do

So like 30 minutes ago I smoked three bowls....unusual compared to my usual 1.5-2. I usually get a great high where my ears feel all tingly and I'm just soaring. These past few nights though they seem so mediocre. I'm like on the brink of highness and want to get there but keep lingering on the sober side. It's disappointing really...but maybe part of it is thayt I'm trying to stay just a bit grounded in case my parents wake up and decide to check on me. Well, yeah.

:spliff: arty: :hysterica

 

ahh well worryin bout the parents can dimminish the quality of the high
if the weeds not as good odviosly that effects it

and..if you smoke alot, you will get a tollerence and need to smoke more
if your not enjoying it as much, many will say just smoke more (how much can you afford to smoke realisticaly? rventualy it wont be enough) but i preffer the opposite approach, smoke less often
if you clean out a bit, then keep the smoking occassional, you get way higher, off way less

i'm getting in the same possition myself now..just had it all the time recently, and its starting to disapoint me unless i smoke alot more, so im concidering not smokin just cause its there..and might not smoke again for a bit (or only on tuesdays at drum circle)

 

Yeah you're killing your own buzz, my friend. Gotta let go of your mind or it won't float.

 

Yeah but I don't see how I could've built a tolerance this quickly. I've smoked pretty heavily for only like 2 weeks now, I normally only did it like every few days, now it's at least twice a day. I dunno I guess thats long enough haha. I might take a few day break in a couple days anyway just to see. Still though, it's hard to not smoke when it's around. I mean I'm still enjoying it, just want to get higher and I can't. Well, let's hope I get some days/nights alone sometime soon so I won't have to worry about beng discovered

 

Even if your smoking only once every 7 days, you'll never can get the perfect high every time. It can depends on a lot of things, also on if you smoked a few days in a row, but it doesn't even have to be that necessarily.
Sometimes I felt a bit dissapointed as well when I didn't get high like I used to, but I also had times I smoked on a few days in a row and then on the fourth day I got a high which felt just like the ideal again.
Just enjoy the lesser high's as well and don't think about the perfect high too much and you'll get suprised by it once in a while

 

imo, when you see that you're smoking more than one bowl, that's when you know you're not getting high like you used to anymore

 

I don't know whether this is shady to talk about myself or not...but I've got a book coming out soon that's a lot about getting and keeping a good high, even if you're a daily user like me. It's going to be available soon for download as a PDF first, then as a print book. There's a bit about it on the UK Amazon site.

wow, that sounds like an interesting book

 

actually sorta does

 

Thanks I really hope it helps people. I'm getting as good a high as I was ten years ago (I've used weed for 20 odd years), which I'm pleased with, considering my daily intake.

I'm interesting in what's in it! I also still get the same great high as I used to get ten years ago (when I started to smoke) every now and then. I noticed that there's a lot of different high's, so to speak.

 

Thanks for the link

 

Good, it's nice to hear you still have a fresh high at least sometimes. I think everyone goes through at least periods of dullness from time to time. And I'd agree that there are a lot of different kinds of highs in terms of intensity and/or how trippy or relaxed a high will make you.

There's a lot of little things that come together to create a high which also control whether it's going to be deep, light, long or short, etc. Once you know what they are and can practise meditation from time to time you can not only keep the high strong, but enhance it quite a lot too by doing the right htings. If you want to, you can also learn how to explore consciousness using meditation and do various exercises to make a high more interesting.

Its entirely possible that its just the different kinds of weed you might have. I just recently smoked some which was from a different source than my normal guy and it was a completely different high. Normally I float off and buzz out really well and it last a while and the munchies aren't too strong - the perfect high, in other words. But this stuff didn't last long and the munchies were huge and I couldn't reach that buzzy plateau either... it was just that it a was different sort of weed.
Try smoking something that is different to what you have and see if it affects you differently.

 

I still get high as fuck with half a bowl of decent mids, and I have been smokin for about 7 years now.

 

tolerance gets the best of us

 

ya wen im by myself i rarely smoke more than one bowl. i just never feel like i want/need to. ya when im with my friends i go all out, but i dont need to get completely blazed out of my mind everytime i smoke

 

Yeah, I've decided to stop looking for the perfect high and it sort of helps. And I've found it's not so much the intensity of it, but the length. It lasts like 40 minutes and then is gone. I'll get different weed this time and see if that helps. I used to find the most pleasure in smoking alone, so hopefully I'll get that way again

 

Changing weed always helps. If you're stuck with just one kind of high it slowly becomes less interesting through familiarity. I try to change batches once a week if it's available.

40 minutes isn't long for a high though? I normally hope for at least a couple of hours per bowl. Or do you just mean for the main rush?

different styles also helps for instance i smoke prob once every 3 days and i was a bong rat and probably had about 9 to cones a session then one day on weekend i went to a mates house and he had a vapourizer and i had about half a cone and got really ripped and it was more of a floating head high then full on realaxed muscle and head fog high
