Anyone who has much experience with mids and dank... Get in.

Well let me just start off by saying that lately I have just felt kind of numbed out when I'm high. Like usually I get really excited and happy to smoke, but it hasn't really been doing that to me for a little while now. I wouldn't so much say I feel burned out as much as I feel just kind of mundane... The highs aren't really doing that much to me lately but kind of mellow me out or give me a little buzz, but nothing too much.

I have been smoking pretty consistently this past year, and it hasn't really affected my performance or anything like that, in fact I've been doing really well, but it just seems like I don't really get all that interested in smoking lately.

However, the majority of my smoking this year has been of mids, in fact I rarely smoked dank at all this entire year. So I am wondering, do I just need to switch to some higher quality buds?

I know of a lot of people that will only smoke dank, because middies just don't do the job for them. I know that the only way I can really know is to test it out myself, but I'm looking for input from my fellow posters here. Do you guys get the same feeling from too much mids, like they just don't get you that high? It seems like even if I smoke a lot of them in one sitting, it doesn't really get me lifted.

So I would really appreciate any advice, stories, experiences, and input you guys can give me.

A few other things: I am going to try to get more sobriety, that may be what I need as well. You gotta have some soberness in order to understand why a high feels so good, I think. So I'm gonna try switching over to only smoking at night for a while and see how that works. So far I've only done that for two days and it hasn't really done any wonders yet, but maybe I just need to keep it up for a week or two before I really notice the effects?

And I really hope all those rumors about mj I hear are false, that it can fuck with your dopamine and make you unable to get too excited or interested in life. I really really really hope that isn't true...

 

meh...it all depends really

the way i can explain my smoking quality would probably be somthing like a scale


1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

1 being the shittiest weed that doesnt even get me high, and 10 being weed that gets me fuckin cooked half way through a joint

usually i'm smoking 6-8.5

that is your typical symptoms u are explaining, the weed u are always smoking doesnt really "excite" u anymore, u are just smoking to get high, u expect the outcome, and u know what it's going to be like, so it's kinda blah. Because really what is exciting about feeling the same way u have felt hundreds or thousands of times over?

then there is the 9-10, this is the weed that u smoke and u are fucking ripped, usually u will be suprised by the effect the first time u smoke it, but even if u have say, a eigth u could smoke the whole bag and have an enjoyable time just because for that couple days of smoking, u are feeling a new high, BUT if u keep smoking the 9-10 the same thign with the 6-8 will happen eventually

haha i will use an analogy from king of the hill last night, When u introduce a forigen substance into an enviroment, eventually the life form will adapt to the new substance's strength, and in turn, will need somthing stronger to achieve the same effect

 

Yeah. Sounds like you need to up your dosage.
Either get more potent weed, or get a better smoking setup.

Believe it or not, but the way you take weed can dramaticly effect its power.

What do you smoke out of? a pipe? a bong? vaporizer?

Also, besides smoking just normal standard bud, consider theres a whole world of other options.
You could start smoking hash, and if you cant get your hands on any, you could make some.
You could start collecting Kief. Which I actualy started doing about a week ago, and have been very happy about it ever since.

honestly tho, consider buying some new smoking equipment.
Heres a little list, in which I think how smoking equipment ranks, from Lowest to highest.

Hookah
Pipe
Joint
Blunt (shared with friends)
Bubbler
Bong (generic)
Steamroller
Namebrand Bong with upgrades. (like a RooR, PHX, AMG, etc, with any/all of the following attachments; Diffuser, Ice Catcher, Ash Catcher, Glass on Glass, Multiple Chambers, Splash Guard, etc.)
Vaporizer
Volcano
Vaporizer + Bong (using a vaporizer through a bong)

I cant think of many other ways to smoke. But maybe if your only smoking joints and maybe out of a pipe, its time to upgrade.
People often forget that using different smoking setups can actualy change how much THC is absorbed into the body.
I recently got a vaporizer (i spent a decent ammount of money and bought a nice VaporBros) and have been loving it ever since.
I have ever single type of smoking thing that I listed, and getting a vaporizer is by far the best.
But if your not a fan of vaporizers, maybe you should get a nice bong.
People dont realize how much Technology is put into some of these new bongs.
At first I was like "wtf, who would spend $300 on a bong??"
but once you see all the options and special things that go into these bongs, and how much better it makes the smoking experience, then you will see how awsome it really is.


Anyway, let me explain Kief really quick.
Go to your local headshop. Find a nice grinder with a "Pollen Collector". Dont skim on this thing, buying a crappy grinder will haunt you, spend a few extra bucks, and invest it.
See if they also sell a "Pollen Press"
Expect to spend around $30-50 for the grinder, and then another $20-40 for the press.
Every time you grind something, put it through your new grinder.
All the little THC crystals which normaly get lost as dust, are insted collected up inside a tiny little chamber at the bottom.
You take all that dust, put it into the press, and then press it really hard, and it will make a nice little disk.
This disk will basicly be like some awsome Hash.

If you grind about 1/2 oz of some decent weed, you will get a nice little disk which will be around 1 to 2 good trips, (depending on your THC tollerance and the quality of the herb).
Over time, it will pay for itself.

Consider getting a vaporizer. Again, dont skim on quality. There are alot of vaporizers out there that just plain suck. Do some research, and find a good one, and then shop around.
Vaporizers help you utilize your weed alot better, so you might only have to smoke about half as much.

If your willing to invest a few hundred go get a nice "Wooden Box" style vaporizer, and then get a decent glass on glass bong (make sure it has an ice catcher and diffuser. Remember tho, when buying glass on glass, you can spend an extra like $30-$40 later and add that diffuser, cause glass on glass is tight like that.)
Then also buy a Vaporizer Whip to Glass on Glass attachment (I bought mine for $35, but I have seen them for like $20).
Anyway, using a vaporizer + a bong is about as badass as it can get. and it will get you higher than anything else. Totaly worth the $200-$400 you would have to spend to put it all together.

Also, one last thing. Making delicious treats out of weed is good. Always remember that smoking with different equipment, and eating weed, and smoking hash, and all that stuff.... well, it all gives you different Highs.

Combining different highs together makes it feal alot more awsome. Next time, try making a nice little weed treat, and smoking a little good shit.
Its a good time.

Enjoy.

 

I've smoked nothing but dank and better this year, and this is also the year I have missed the most classes. Go figure.

But I have to admit, it's a pretty good life. Plus, I've only missed one class so far this semester.

 

vaporiser through bong doesnt make sense, as the thc would just condense

 

people should only smoke good weed. anything that isn't dank should be used in a vaporizer or should be used to cook with.
