if i get high i just want to be lazy, maybe sleep. i like smoking pot now and again to relax, but i dont want to be around anyone or have any responsibilities when i do. i just want to get a buzz and chill out alone. and sleep like a log. ive never gotten the paranoia a lot of people seem to get. i also dont get any of the hallucinogenic side. i just get lazy and sleepy. its nice.

That can be an aspect of the strain you are using and can also be influenced by the way you consume it.

For example, when I bake ABV edibles they are much higher CBD than THC as they have already had a lot of the THC vaporised out. So the edibles tend to give me HUGE couch lock, as in I dont want to get up for 5+ hours.

However, smoking a higher THC strain straight up and I will be active and wanting to go explore (usually end up hiking).

Spent many years smoking pot on and off. I used to work at a local Pizza joint after my life took a turn in an unexpected direction, and for quite a while, I'd wake up at 11 or 12 in the afternoon, run errands, mow, work around the house, whatever. I'd go to work from 4:30 to 11:00 then come and smoke a couple bowls or joints, whatever the roommate and I had, and usually play Xbox or watch TV. Made me relaxed, forget about my problems, and at the time, happy.

Other times it was self medication; I'd work on a farm seasonally during harvest and those damn little bees wings would agitate my allergies to no end. So each night, I'd take a handful of smokes out of a pack and pack the ends with pot. Throughout the day, I'd smoke one of them and my allergies wouldn't bother me. Accidently discovered this, thankfully.

Now, I'm in a new house, got a good 9-5 job, and am with the woman I'm going to make my future wife. I drink beer regularly after work or on the weekend with the occasional couple shots and the happy I am now is a day and night difference from back then. I haven't smoked pot in years and while I occasionally (usually while on Xbox or outside working) miss it, I'm not going to throw away what I have now for a couple tokes. I'll take my alcohol any day, thank you very much.

The question i have for people in your situation is if it were legal would you go back to smoking or do you feel like you are done with it in your life?

I made an AVB firecracker last night. Used almost a teaspoon of avb (don't have a scale) and it didn't do anything. I think I might vape my bud too much though. It's not black, but it's dark brown with light brown speckles.

I bake mine just to a light/medium brown, usually on the lighter side though.

I do this because i KNOW i will be making edibles with it (or pills if I am going somewhere and cant smoke/bring edibles)

I use about .5g-1g and that will usually get me stoned for 6 hours, it does take about 90 minutes to kick in though, very slow onset but a peak hits at about 2 hours in that you slowly ride out.



Some tips for firecrackers
1. use organic peanut butter (the kind with lots of oil on top), the cannabinoids bind with fats
2. mix the weed and peanut butter into a bowl
3. let sit for awhile, i usually let it sit for at least an hour
4. if you dont know how much to use, ere on the side of caution, my first ABV edibles I ate 5g's thinking it wasn't gonna do all that much, oh fuck was i wrong.

The subjective effects of cannabis vary widely from person to person. It has so much to do with your mind and your "inner being" that different people are going to have very different experiences. My early pot experiences gave me a surge of energy, visuals of complex kaleidoscope-like designs, intense appreciation for music, trippy thoughts, increased mental/physical sensitivity, and other great things.

I encourage everybody who is interested about the real effects of drugs to read the detailed, user-submitted experience reports on www.erowid.org.

Here is a very representative one on mushrooms: http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=93993

How much is a gram? Size-wise? I can't find this info anywhere and I have no way to measure it.

I mixed it with Kraft pb and baked it in a toaster oven for 22min at about 350* (which I think was too high?). I'm thinking about trying it again tonight, but I'll have to use way more avb I guess. I'm dry right now so I want to get something out of this stuff lol.

Does this look like it's been cooked too much? It's a little bit darker than it looks in the picture.

I prefer getting high. Getting high means different things to different people though. Your experience seems limited to weed which is fine I guess but there is more than one way to get high and the way each high makes you feel varies depending on the drug you take.

Here is the thing with ABV, there is no need to heat it up, none. You already did that when you vaped it, ABV can be eaten straight up (if you can stomach it!), however it wont be as effective as would be using a good fat for the THC to bind to.

also for sizing by eye it can be difficult, I usually make 5-10g at a time and just measure it out. If you are doing it by eye then i recommend a pile the size of a quarter. Maybe double if you wanna be really high.

I used a heaping pile about the size of a toonie last night. Maybe I'll just double it tonight and see what happens. That's a lot to eat though.

I also didn't mix it last night, just kind of put it on top of the pb on each cracker, then put them together. I'll try mixing tonight. Maybe I'll throw the pb and avb mix in the toaster oven too for a little bit at a lower temp while I'm letting it sit, just for shits.

Well I think your baking pretty much baked away whatever was left in the bud, normal fire crackers with NON vaped bud is 275F for 20-30 mins.

ABV doesnt get baked, at least not normally, that could make it inert, i have never tried it. Be careful with dose, I had 5g and went UBER high for about 3 hours and passed out then woke up 15 hours later.

Haha, well that's not a problem. No work tomorrow. Alright, well if you say not baking it works, I'll forget the baking.

Well if you want to assure yourself a high, light up the ABV, you can smoke it straight, it will taste a bit shitty, but it will assure you get high.

True. Pretty sure I still have my one hitter around here somewhere. It's been months since I've smoked though, will probably taste like shit lol.

Never been high, at least not off of illicit narcotics. I have taken oxy and other painkillers for legit purposes (e.g., post surgical pain), but apart from making me feel numb and a bit warm they didn't "do" much for me.

That said, I'm all for downing a few brews and getting a good buzz on.

Neither. Never used drugs and I don't get drunk (high alcohol tolerance).

Yes, my life is boring.

high, i smoke enough that it just makes me relaxed, no paranoia no hallucinations (if i want that, i eat some shrooms, which i do for a mind cleansing about twice a year)just calm and relaxed with a nice buzz, also since i got my volcano, i conserve a hell of alot more, but i still enjoy the occasional jay or blunt with buddies or in the car on a road trip or long drive. i smoke roughly 1.5 oz a month. a little over 1.5g a day. now theirs days i smoke a .5 gram and days i smoke 5-6 grams (blunts with buddies)

personally this 4/20 i just bought an oz and it was gone by 10pm i starting with a wake and bake at 11 am. although i did smoke with several buddies.

I really miss smoking weed. I used to really enjoy it, and I was pretty high-functioning (pun intended ).

Can't do it anymore, though. I drive a company car. It's a fair trade, to be sure, and in a small way I'm proud of myself for being able to say no to it all the time.

I do miss it, though.
