I was reading a website about the Jamaican culture and how ganja (weed) was a part of their lifestyle. I was suprised to learn that during the course of a day, Jamaicans only smoke a little at a time. They'll light up a joint, take a few puffs, and then put it out. Then they'll light it up a few minutes later. In this way, it can take about an hour to finish an entire joint. And the Jamaicans don't get really stoned but they're still comfortably high. Whenever my friends and I smoke we smoke a good bit at once. It's usually like 2 or 3 bowls.. a good bit. Now I was thinking, I should start smoking like the Jamiacans do. That way, I could take like 2-3 hits, then go off and do whatever I need to do, and then come back and take a few more hits. I tried this yesterday and it was awesome. I was high, but not too high. I could still do anything normally without getting confused. I was holding sensible conversations and doing the normal tasks of the day, without feeling lazy or tired. I liked the high a lot because it didn't use much weed, it let me do the other stuff I needed to do while being high, and I was actually energized by the weed. I suggest all of you try this .. If you still like to get "fucked up" by smoking a whole lot in a short amount of time..maybe you could just do that on the weekends? During the week you could be comfortably high... I don't know but thats what I do and its working awesome for me!
I don't smoke fuck all during the week anymore cos I need my brain at work but that's what I do all weekend (the way you just described). The binge-smoking for a few hours just ruins you, I reckon that's what makes you real paranoid and lethargic. I just roll smallish joints and just smoke one every now and again to top-up as it were. It's nice though every couple of weeks to get seriously toasted.
sounds like a good way...i gotta admit...and this is alcohol actually, not dope..but last night i got completely fucked on alcohol because i drank vodka, cider and loads of wine in the psace of 2 hours and it was fun but its a shame when its all gone.. burt this jamaican way of smoking sounds good...ime not too sure, but is it legal in jamaica??
Nope. Word is, the fall (main) harvest is wrecked. Don't know how much of the spring harvest is left, but it's a long time until april...
i live in ny, so i bet it won't affect my supply. bummer for you guys though...fucking hurricanes are dorks.
i hate being semi-stoned. im mostly just lazy and out of it. if i sit down to smoke, the very least id smoke is a joint or somewhere around 2 bowls maybe. to be just buzzed is not fun, you just get all the bad effects, in my case anyway. i get the munchies, cottonmouth, laziness, and i dont think like i would if i were stoned, i just cant concentrate. all the bad things. i have to get stoned, buzzing isnt fun... i guess i just prefer the good ol american way
there was just like 4 big busts in the past like 2 weeks here, so its been pretty dry, ive had to get mine all the way from detroit..
Yeh see the reason jamaicans do that is caus for them, buzzed is pretty much sober. They raise their soberness level. I dont think its a good idea myself. And as the persoin before, i dont find it that good. Its like when your at that level of drunkness when your too unco to do normal thigns but your not drunk enough to do all the pissfun drunk stuff. I like being STONED and if not stoned, then i like the after effects, that arent strong, but arent a buzz, theyre like a mellowness. If im buzzed i wanna really be buzzed, and know im gonna get stoooonned.
See, I like being lightly drunk, that's the best. When your wasted, you lose control and do stupid shit, end up looking like a dumbfuck (like making your friends stop halfway home from a concert so you can piss on a guys lawn, and the guy comes out and yells at you...). Being buzzed, you can have a great time, laughing and stuff, but not lose track of yourself. Plus, no hangover. It's the same for weed, with me. I've never done the Jamaican way, but sometimes I'll just smoke a little. I find that when I'm seriously stoned, I just want to sit and chill, cuz I'll get all these great ideas or I'm having too much fun just kicking back watching tv or something. But with a lighter high, I'm more active. I'll write poetry or draw or something, I'm more creative. I'm still with it, but still altered.
Jamaica's not a significant supplier to the US, so it'll hardly be felt. And as for hurricanes... they're BIG MEAN dorks!
That's a bummer. Whenever I'm buzzed I don't get the munchies or cottonmouth and I can concentrate fine. I get a boost of energy too and I don't feel lazy. That's why I liked being buzzed so much. Whenever I'm really stoned, I get the munchies, cottonmouth, lazy, and I can't concentrate.
