My two different reactions to smoking pot

[bif]

I've only been high twice from pot. This was many years ago. The first time I had a totally paranoid reaction. The second time was after having a couple beers. I laughed my butt off. I've grown pot for the last two years and last year gave it all away. This year my crop was decent and I still have some left. I'm having dinner tomorrow with some friends and the guy enjoys smoking. So I'm considering taking a hit when he lights up tomorrow. Hoping I have a positive reaction.

Any advice or suggestions?

BTW, it's legal here in Michigan.

1. Check PM. n/t

2. Don't watch the news tomorrow. I think anger can affect your high. Personally, I've never had a bad reaction

from smoking weed, going back 50 years to my college days. Relax and try to enjoy yourself.

NOTE: The first time I smoked back in the day, NOTHING happened, no high at all. The second time (and ever onward) I did. So you might want to consider your first try at smoking weed a one-off.

11. Not feeling anything the first time was the word of the day

back when I took my first puff. Nowadays, I just want to be able to afford (and legally buy) the two different types... one that will make me giggle and eat everything in sight, and the kind that nods me off and helps me sleep through pain at night. Unfortunately, it ain't legal for me yet (and with all these holy rollers, it probably won't ever be), and second, at the prices I saw (and paid) at the dispensary in the next state over, I couldn't afford to go crazy with it!

3. Don't fear the reefer, man!

It’s cool for relaxation, occasionally .

Enjoy!

7. I help out some cannabis users mostly close to first timers...

Like you.
There are a bunch of seniors in my area. Most have had hard working lives, farming, logging, excavation…etc.

Some have tried cannabis in the past but are a little wary now because of the reports about the high strength of the buds now. I liken smoking again to drinking moonshine…we used to call it ‘sipping whiskey’. You don’t down the entire shot…you sip it, savor the burn…let a little sublingual action take place before you swallow.

These people are using it more as a pain/stress reliever and sleep aid, not so much as a recreational drug.

I tell them to smoke cannabis the same way…take small hits from joint/pipe…let the smoke linger..lift your tongue up … smoke will be absorbed sublingually…then finish the inhale…this shout only take less than 10 seconds. Wait…’sip’ some more…go slowly. I find once people learn their tolerance levels. It comes as second nature.

Oh yes….most important…have a very positive attitude.

8. I had a paranoid reaction when I resumed consumption after a 24-year hiatus

It was in Michigan, serendipitously enough, in the shadow of the world’s tallest statue of a Native American - Hiawatha. The feeling passed after about five minutes, seeing no narcs crouching in the bushes. That was over three years ago, and my tolerance is considerably higher now. In fact, I could come visit you, do some dabs solo - just so long as you’re in the same room - and your tolerance will go up tenfold.

9. Relax and enjoy. Like other things it is different depending on many factors including age.

10. Don't really even a hit, just sit in the same room, and breath deeply!!

I can smell the smell of Pot on people who walk into the bar, and boy, sometimes it is a very strong smell. I get high just smelling them!

12. enjoy!

I'll smoke to that!
