Every time I eat a homemade edible from someone, I quickly remember that it is always a mistake.

Like right now.

I'm pretty goddamn sure I'll never reach for an edible... >___<

I really, really didn't think I'd go back to using weed after my last nightmare, New Years 2016. Clearly a paradoxical substance for some, like myself. I resumed with it almost a full year from the last time, this past December, going into it here and there ever since. I've been vaping the green mostly so far, but also experimenting with smoking again due to CBD release. Dosing is everything.

I know I've changed in identifiable ways since my last dealing with it. But as always, sometimes I'll border on some kind of hypomania, or a kind of extreme clarity where I know, as long as I'm alone, I can positively get high and be alright, and/or I just don't care where it takes me. That's probably where most stoners draw their tolerance from, and not the brand of anxieties I possess. Issues I have include but are not limited to OCPD, so I know my issues of control all too well, and am always learning more and more of how it is to let go, when I can/do. And with that, my main goal with weed is to continue to "open my eyes." Weed started as a seriously profound thing for me, where it was all positive, 4 years ago, and if I actually want to put my guard down it still apparently can achieve for my brain what it always has trouble fully doing on its own. It can truly be a tool to learn from in my case.

It's worth mentioning I started taking regular recommended doses of St. John's Wort this past November, along with certain adaptogens, cognitive supplements, and common relaxants like valerian root throughout the day. In the last couple of weeks I've started to up the SJW dose high, after confirming there'd be no harm in doing so. I've read some people online having compared megadosing SJW to a very mild dose of LSA. I'm at 2,500mg-3,000mg a day right now, not quite megadosing, but that is triple the recommended dose. Anyway, I can absolutely say this (and many other a supplement) is something worth trying for anyone carrying on with depression/anxiety, that is if you don't notice any side effects with basic dosing at first. It's hard to explain the feeling I get, but I know I'll continue doing this indefinitely, and also introduce other supplements. I use Nature's Way "Perika" brand of SJW, which is a patented extract from Germany (where SJW is a mainstream approach for depression), a reputable SJW product (and brand name). Like with any supplements, you must take it on a schedule and for 6-8 weeks before you should make any claims on any effectiveness.

Please remember that SJW quickens the life of any other drugs/supplements in your system. For example, for women on birth control, SJW is probably not a route worth trying as long as they're relying on birth control.

I've wondered a bit about MDMA lately. The real thing. No bullshit cuts.

So yeah, I'd say I'm a heavy cannabis smoker (the joy of having a movement disorder that doesn't seem responsive to other treatments; dealing with the acute chronic pain is just a nice bonus).

What do I mean by heavy? Just a touch more than 112g (4oz.) / 30 days (in Canada, if you are a part of ACMPR, we get monthly grams/30 day limits).

As part of keeping track of what I'm inhaling, I post pics.

I wish I could get high more often, but it takes quite a bit of effort for me to get there... I'm more happy just not shaking all the time.

Is there any point of doing cocaine other than doing more cocaine?

[Harry Seaward]

Anybody else on meth, caffeine pills, kratom, nicotine, sleep deprivation, malnourishment, and what I can only assume is frostbite from the lovely 10-15F temperatures we've had every night for weeks? I know most of those aren't really very extreme drugs but they do whirl quite a wind when married. Oy. I got what they call a lack.

[elevenism]

@Amaro , I know it's been a long time since your post, but rereading it, i had to wonder if you were talking about TRYING MDMA or using it again.
@Harry Seaward I would argue that several of those things/drugs are fairly extreme: meth, sd, malnourishment, frostbite.
Tell me about the fucking golf shoes.

Trying it, good sir.

I still haven’t, and I’m still not sure if I will. Definitely not on the mind at the moment. I just moved to Arizona where weed is medical, so I’m gonna go full-on CBD on you muh fuhs once I’ve become a member. Standby.

I was able to get off of 300mg of Tramadol per day by replacing with CBD. Not having to rely on synthetic opiates is amazing, for many reasons.

I use 2 drops of sublingual (100mg) every 4-5 hours. FWIW, I fractured my ankle completely, but the bone didn't move (lucky; so severe break?). I was supposed to wear a boot for 6 weeks but only ended up wearing it 4. My ankle is permanently swollen and purple on all sides, with the only way to fix it being surgery (rebreaking my ankle and clearing out dead tissue).

I'll stick with the CBD.

Holy jeez, dude!!

I think we all here must know what exact product you’re using.

Meanwhile there are some people who say CBD is a joke. I’ve used different products before but I was a mess with anxiety and stress and can only say so little about effects on me, not to mention experimenting was done from 2013-2016. Of course, every body/mind will be affected differently, but I have high hopes in a fresh start with how I’m feeling these days and the access to an array of products, especially with actual CBD strains.

CBD derived from hemp is legal in all 50 states (for now), and the go-to recommendation is Green Roads. If you purchase in a store (head shop / vape store), the price is usually around $5 more than what's listed on the website.

CBD derived from marijuana varies too much from state to state to give a recommendation.

@Amaro I think it's imperative that all people and animals eat at least one dose of God's Own MDMA while they are on this earth. (Maybe not animals. I'm just stuck on saying people and animals lately)

You know how acid and such can open your mind and teach you about metaphysics when properly used? Well I would argue that MDMA does the same thing on an emotional level, in the realm of feelings and mood and such, when used properly.

No experience, but I think you're right to call the doctor and report the symptoms. If there's one thing that bugs me it's people who have the means to actually get medical advice and don't do it out of stubbornness or laziness. I like where your head is at re: "this feels fucked up; I should talk to the doc". And obviously, if anything more vital pops up (shortness of breath, etc), stop taking it until you can see someone about it.

Phenergan is an antihistimine. All antihistimes are gonna make you feel fucked up. Ask your doctor for a straight up antiemetic instead.

Found a joint someone dropped on the sidewalk at work. Here's to hoping it isn't laced with something that'll kill me!

eww, don't put that in your mouth! laced with the flu, maybe.

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

Just wanted to follow-up: The joint has been smoked. If I had to describe how I'm feeling though...

...my palms are sweaty, knees week, arms are heavy. Vomit on my sweater already...

...mom's spaghetti.

Yup, that's the flu all right.

LYRICA/PREGABALIN DANGER

So i was reading back through this thread and saw a bunch of posts from years back where i was talking about how wonderful big doses of pregabalin aka lyrica are.
Well, shortly after posting all those rave reviews, i learned that shit is VERY dangerous. i didn't just read about it, i experienced it.

a couple of years ago, one of my big doses resulted in a massive seizure while another caused parkinson's like symptoms/dyskinesia.
So i feel like it's important for me to say that i DO NOT ADVOCATE HEROIC DOSES OF LYRICA. it is NOT SAFE.

Use this shit at your own risk. Better yet, don't use it as a recreational drug, AT ALL. i feel like i'm lucky that those episodes didn't cause permanent dyskinesia or even death. :/
I feel like an idiot now for glorifying that shit back in the day and talking about how wonderful it is, and i hope to GOD that some kid didn't read my posts and try what i was doing with it and wind up in the hospital.

So I smoked pot for the first time in years this weekend after my friend’s wedding. I swear, it was like being in the sunken place:



Also, time was moving at like 1/15 of a second. I would feel like an hour passed by, look at the clock, and it’d only be just a few minutes.

Yeah man that shit is the strongest drug I've fucked with in about a decade. What it does to me is FAR more intense than strong opiates. A lot of folks don't seem to understand that.

My buddy has been using CBD oil for a bit now, more so now that his wife left him. Even before i could feel the difference in his presence. He's a pretty aggressive type of personality, not really in a bad way. It really seemed to notch him back to say a 6 instead of 8-9 intensity level. Since shit hit the fan for him he's been really finding it to be a help with anxiety etc. I tried some the other day and it seemed to help sort of chill my head out some as well. IDK it's weird and hard to explain, kind of like having coffee vs not having coffee is one way to describe it. I definitely didn't get high off it. I tried it again today and felt the same thing. I think I may pick some up myself and give it a go for a bit.

Weed + Bubble Bath is my latest hobby

[chuckrh]

drugs aren't as much fun when you have to take them. & legal weed has taken the scofflaw factor out of it. turns out was big part of the fun!

dude you can say that again. I used to take opiates for fun. For most of my life I did, in fact, and only got physically addicted maybe once? Just like one lost summer?

So, okay, I broke my back a few years ago and was prescribed a LOT of oxycodone. At first I was like, "hey, at least that!"

36 fucktons of oxycodone later, the whole thing looks different. Miss a dose and go into withdrawal. And tolerance makes it to where it's pretty much impossible to get any sort of buzz from it, EVER, under any fucking circumstances.

I sure do miss getting maybe 100mg of Vicodin every now and then and feeling like I was in heaven.

I also have the same issue with xanax. As I got older, I started having more mental and emotional problems and they kept raising my alprazolam dose. And, same shit. Now I'm wildly physically addicted and will have a seizure if I miss a couple of doses.

Hey everyone, the licensed producer I use for my cannabis usage had a nice video made of it... (and if you want to see my pics of the product; check them out here)
