Do You Respect Your Limits?

[DaZeD]

When I'm smoking alone I know my limits very well, when I take a few tokes I waith till I'm high, and put the joint away till I feel the need for another toke.I allways smoke pure and I don't smoke cigarettes, so it can take several hours or a whole day for me to finnish a joint, in a balanced controlled way, so my high is spread very gentle over time.

But when I smoke with friends I roll one, as big as I would roll one when I smoke alone,( 0.7 to 1 gram.) but I finnish the joint in like half an hour, -alone I can easely do a whole day with a joint - wich results in me being very very stoned, usually too stoned to function normally, that's a problem, I know my limits very well, but I tend to disrespect them, and go over the line in company, it's not to act tuff or anything, I'm 26 and no one cares if I finnish the whole joint or not, but it's like I only notice that the whole joint is finnished when I'm allready too stoned.
Like I forget about my limits, I'm not much of a control freak, so that might be the issue.

Maybe it's because everyone else smokes tobbaco with their weed and I just smoke along their tempo, pure, without really realizing that I allready smoked too much to keep proper control over myself.It's annoying, cause it takes a good while to leave the daze behind, and come back to a more sober state of mind.

Anyone else has this problem, or do you know and respect your limits very well?

interesting issue. I smoke very very rarely but when I smoke I tend to smoke mor ethan I would when I am alone. Here, it is tradition to mix with tobacco, so, to be honest, I don't get really high with joints - so I can easily smoke more than usual. When I am alone I only vaporize and as I know, what dose I need to get a good high, I tend to respect my limits.

I respect my limits for the situation I'm in.

When I toke alone and have no obligations or pressing matters, it's terrence mckenna's method. When I'm out and about or with people I typically smoke a lot less, few puffs off a j or something.

I agree, I don't like to go crazy with really ANY drug around people. It's uncomfortable to me and adds too much stress.

i agree. but i think it all depends on whats going on. if iv been drinking ill tend to smoke a LOT. it gets me to the level i want to be at, and i dont have to drink much more. its also a social thing. when you pull out a large bag at a party, alot of people gather around... which can either be annoying, or "whatever, i have a big bag" moment. its alot easier to make friends when you have green, then when you dont.. especially when theres alot of partying going on.

if im alone, i like to smoke larger quantities when i can afford it. but most of the time i keep to my 3-4 toke limit. around 0.2-0.3G. i find smoking joints is a waist of weed. pipes work the best for me, and they dont require much herb to get the job done.

A friend in need's a friend indeed
A friend with weed is better
A friend with breasts and all the rest
A friend who's dressed in leather

i dont like to be wasted when dealing with "normals", other than that i usually dont have a limit

 

[Arcticpheonix]

I find that I tend to keep with what Dazed said; If I'm alone I usually respect me limits a lot more than if I'm with other people. I find that if I'm smoking with a friend of two that I'll get into a rhythm of passing whatever we're smoking and talking that I don't really notice how high I am until we take a break (to roll a new joint, change music or whatever). Where as when I smoke alone I'm much more conscious of how hard it's hitting me, and of how much I'm smoking and so tend to smoke less.

I tend to be more reasonable with all kinds of drugs when I'm alone. Like when I was still smoking, I was smoking like 4-5 cigarettes a day when I was alone. When I was in company, I was smoking up to 30 cigarettes per day...

Same with alcohol. When I'm alone I drink two beer watching tv and I feel really drunk and go to bed. When I'm in company I drink two beer in half an hour and feel liike I just started.

As far as I can remember it was the same with weed. In company I was always smoking more, because seeing someone else taking a hit just made me want to take a hit, too, even if I just had one.

That's very interesting tryptonaut! See with both cannabis and alcohol I need a SUBSTANTIALLY smaller quantity to get effect as opposed to being alone. I guess it has a lot to do with your attitudes around people, perceptions etc. I know likely most people are the other way around from me.

I suppose when I use around people I become more/extra conscience about what i'm doing and saying so I notice everything a lot more; as opposed to being more laid back.

 

[Crimzen]

i usually smoke too much
mostly when i'm with my close circle of friends because they all smoke so much weed so if they're offering i'll smoke it you know?
when i'm alone it depends on how much weed i have, if i have heaps i'll smoke alot but not as much as with my mates, if i dont have much i can go off like 2 cones and be nicely baked

A non-smoker, non-coffee drinker, vegetarian, non-alcohol drinker who takes 3 hits of pure quality cannabis with at least 2 weeks THC abstainance, will be put into a almost full psychedelic experience with possible unexpected confusion.

But even without all this, pure weed as a non-nicotine smoker is much more powerful than a tobacco joint. Back in days I used to smoke 1 whole tobacco joint with a friend in like 30 minutes. Yes, great sedation, but nothing close to the mind-expansion I get now from cannabis with just 3 pure hits. Racing heart, racing thoughts, deformed sounds (especially if they are unexpected), and movie-like visions of detailed events.

Man, who dares to take about smoking weed and decreased short and long-term memory. When I have lost my keys, I can load the visual moment of the last time I had them. Or I'll think about my administration and spontaneously have a fair overlook of what needs to be done, which I would have forgotten if I went through the weekend with sober levels.

Some shops do have great quality, digg them for that. The notorious vessel expansion does have productive mental health benefits. You can also make a sort of self-diagnose of the condition of the heart. And what's good for it and what not.

Nowadays I just smoke 2 hits, which allows me to be clearer aware of inner activities, with too much THC it's harder to back up.

 

[DaZeD]

Wow Brugmansia, the mind is a wonderfull tool huh? Especially when it's loaded on drugs!

I'm a non smoker, non coffee drinker, and allmost full vegetarian, except for a good steak, chiken or fish once in a while (yea, I'm sorry for the cows, but they can taste so very good), besides that I eat substitutes for meat, there are some really good ones out there (Albert Hein).
I ussually don't drink alcohol, except for some good peated Islay whisky, and a beer occasionally.

I can't abstain from weed though, but even for me it can feel like a psychedelic experience sometimes, smoking pure makes a huge difference indeed, and allmost all people I smoke with smoke tobbaco, so if I smoke my pure joint at the same tempo like they smoke their tobbaco joint, I'm far more wasted.

 

[Synith]

Personally I smoke until I get a headrush. Not the point where I black out, but to the point where I lean back and go 'Whoa, I'm still falling.'

 

[FluidDruid]

I smoke quite a bit at social gatherings mostly because my peers are drinking loads of alcohol. But I do reserve being extraordinarily high for meditative purposes when I am alone.

 

[Psyolopher]

I respect my limit WHEN I REACH IT!
When i smoke alot, its hard to get to that point.

 

[greenwizard]

I don't know my limits



To the infinite! And Further more!

 

[silv]

When smoking only weed (not drinking or such) with very little to no tobacco (i don't smoke, however i get annoyed by j's going out and adding tobacco takes that away and in that way enables me to have a more expanded easy mind) I can smoke a lot and get all the stuff brugmansia described, and even more and sometimes it becomes even crazier (however it does seem to flatten out). Socially I'm not much of a weed smoker, I nearly only smoke when I'm only with friends who smoke too and don't drink alot of alcohol since I don't like the alcohol vibes when toking. Seeing that the conditions in the last sentence are rarely met I usually smoke alone listening to either chilled out reggae or chet baker (gotta love that cat, he's brilliant).

 

[ophiuchus]

i try to respect my limits, but they change all the time, and so does how hard it is to respect them
