Anyone else find that weed just isn't their thing?

So after giving it a bunch of tries, I guess I'm not a weed person. Kinda sucks, I'd love to be able to hang with my friends and pass the bowl but it's not like that for me. 2 hits and I'm blasted off, talking nonsense and generally getting WAY too high and panicky to enjoy myself at all. Not to mention the comedown, where I more or less lose out on the rest of my night.

I've given the harder psychedelics a few tries as well, but it looks like I have a similar relationship with them as I do with weed.

Anyone else have the same thing?

 

Most people don't understand that, weed like anything else affects people differently. I'm just like you except I didn't figure it out so quick. Biggest problem was that I felt like I was the only one who felt like that.
Coming from an ex-pothead, weed is overrated anyway.
Your not the only one dude, don't smoke it if it don't make you feel right.

 

A few of my friends experience this. Some just fall right asleep, some get uber-paranoid, and others just dont dig it.

Mary isnt for everyone. Aint no thang.

 

good word my dude, don't get tricked, if the hemp aint got you right, then don't flucks with it.

 

Sometimes when I'm sober for awhile I start wondering "why the hell do I spend so much money on weed? is it really worth all that?" Then I smoke and remember why I love it so much.

Definitely not for everyone though, and if you don't enjoy it then don't smoke. No need to waste your lungs or money, or the risk of getting caught, if you aren't even enjoying the high.

 

It sounds like you just do it because of the style behind it, or something like that. Don't do it if you don't like the high.

Everyone's different, it's just like some people like a certain food but some people don't. Try smoking more and grow a tolerance. The first few times that you smoke you don't get the same kind of high as you do when you grow a tolerance even if it's not much of a tolerance. I love weed, it's my kind of drug.

 

I smoke weed because it feels good (most of the time) and that its a good pass time to do when you just wanna chill out with people. Weed is more of a social/recreational thing rather than a part of my life.

so what i'm saying is that just because you dont smoke weed shouldn't make people think any less of you, if they do, then fuck them. Life is too short to waste your time doing things you don't really like

 

I have felt a bit like this in the past. I just find if you smoke while in the right frame of mind, and don't think about any negative effects, they don't happen. If you smoke it, don't be on edge or worrying about getting too high or whatever, just smoke it, enjoy it, and relax. If it still doesn't work for you, then you know its not your thing.

 

Ever since my first time getting high I've wanted to do it again and again!

 

I know a lot of people that have - I am not one of them.

Two girls I know both got way too fucked in the head from smoking. One would get real paranoid, to the point where she thought people were going to kill her. The other used to smoke weed all the time, and the more she smoked it, the more it fucked with her. Then one time, when she was smoking, she was having trouble breathing, apparently she couldn't remember how to; so she stopped.

Then, I know people who just didn't enjoy it, just got mellow and bored, or they just didn't get much of an effect from it.

 

Different strokes for different folks I guess. You mention a comedown and I don't even notice it, outside of simply not being high after a couple of hours. I've tried harder drugs and now those have real comedowns. I'd just rather get high.

 

I agree. I was thinking about it and I concluded, I think I like the idea of smoking weed and more than actually smoking it. I do get really panicky and paranoid more than any of my friends. Everyone just tells me to chill the fuck out, but the only time I can actually enjoy the high is when I know there is a very low risk of somthing going wrong. Going wrong in my heads = getting caught. I think the reason i smoke is to try to achieve what everyone else does, which is relaxation. Weed doesn't do that for me, it really just makes me paranoid. So, I don't know.

 

Well, thats just the way it is for some people. I never really get paranoid unless I am carrying larger quantities or smoking near public places. Like I said, try to stay in the right frame of mind, or find a house you can do it in- where there isn't any chance of being caught by police etc.

Even when you are out side, if you aren't the one carrying weed, there isn't any chance you can get in trouble. You have to have some on you, and they have to find it, for you to get a telling off (Depending on the amount).

 

I tried almost every drug before I tried weed. Now it's hard for me to do. I guess if you started with weed it's easier to handle. Weed is pretty intense for me though. I can't even smoke it unless I'm drunk, or else I become way to introverted, focus inward, and get massive killer headaches that last for weeks and make me think I'm going insane. Smoking for me is almost like a chore I guess, I have to really concentrate and project myself outwards in order not to get those headaches.
