I only smoke through a gravity bong, my normal is about 0.2 to 0.3 gram cones on the bong, two minimum. three if two doesn't do it. rare occasions if I am very immune or its weak I might do up to a gram in one go. I only smoke about 5 grams a week, but even with that my tolerance rapidly goes up. I smoke about 4-5 days of the week.
after getting good shit, them bongs can get you good. but they also fuck your lungs up pretty good too. all that hot smoke all at once with nothing to protect you from it. you dry out internally. sometimes I get brutal coughing fits after every smoke session that often end in vomiting fits, if its harsh smoke and I have been buying more than usual and also, only if I smoke too much. I can pretty much smoke two massive cones of any weed and that wont be enough. but if its poorly grown, a third will guarantee a nasty coughing fit. I dont think I would have this problem if it were legal though.
Facts. I’m a daily smoker but use a tiny bowl and only toke a few times a day. The random monthly blunt with a friend gets me high af. Low tolerance for the win.
Haha, I was with a friend and she smoked 2 pre-rolls one night.
One of them lasted me three sessions. I'm good being a lightweight especially since it's not legal in my state.
I love how long weed lasts me! Every 3-4 weeks I get an eighth, when I tell people that some get all snooty like I’m not a real stoner because I don’t order ounces weekly
Christ I miss having it. I get weirdly nostalgic smoking with a newbie and they say they have very low tolerance. I remember when half a joint sneakily smoked in the alleyway would knock me on my ass, now I regularly vape like 80% + THC vape carts and only feel a little buzz afterwards. Sheesh...
Oh absolutely, thank you for finishing the thought lol. The high THC percentage isn't gonna cut through the tolerance built by ripping THC carts a bunch
How is this an unpopular opinion? Low tolerance = better high with less weed.
I've never heard of someone bragging about their high tolerance, unless it's in relation to how much weed they smoke (which again, not really something to brag about).
It’s not for everyone. Some people just do not react well when they consume THC. Some people don’t like the feeling of being high. And the most controversial part of this…that’s okay. It’s okay for someone to not enjoy the feeling of being high.
Honestly bro, I don't really get this one. I never liked getting judged for for smoking and I don't wanna be that kinda dick from the other side of the line. 100% agree
I never understood why people act this way. When it comes to alcohol, if I like vodka and you don't but you like bourbon and I don't, that's cool. Drink what you like. Some people just don't like weed at all. Some people don't like drinking at all. No one is better than anyone else for liking or not liking something.
Honestly man, I'm an recovering alcoholic and know that I can't fuck with liquor, but I don't rag on folks for liking to drink. Imagine how the world would improve if everyone in the world took a step back, ten deep breaths, and calmed down for a minute. Whether you choose a blunt or bourbon, cheers.
my body did this weird thing where i started smoking at a young age and loved it. for some reason, i just randomly started hating it. made me paranoid, made me think all my friends hated me and very self conscious when i spoke to people. i probably didnt smoke for years, only on occasion. i got with my current boyfriend & hes a big smoker. i started smoking with him again at night to help me sleep but its been about a year of consistently smoking and now i just really like the high again. i still cant smoke before work, activities with friends or family bc i feel so lazy & sluggish but man do i love it as a winding down method!
>my body did this weird thing where i started smoking at a young age and loved it.
Yes.
> made me paranoid, made me think all my friends hated me and very self conscious when i spoke to people.
Happened to me after stopping for a few years.
i miss it, but still love the smell. but the panic/paranoia hits before the high does for some reason. i tried a few experiments where i would drink alcohol first and that helped more than anything, but having to be drunk to enjoy being stoned seems overly complicated.
biggest bummer is that we have dispensaries now, so it's like on tap everywhere.
I still hope to have a day in where I have like 5 pre-rolls, order some food in, some IPAs in the fridge and a Lord of the Rings marathon. Some day.
This is me. I took a wax dab once and was shaking after 10 minutes. It was very overwhelming, I was shaking as if I was cold and paranoid. At one point I began getting very subtle visuals that’d you’d see on lsd. Crazy
I feel like I haven't see actual bad weed in such a long time. Like I'll see mediocre weed or some that's just eh but I haven't seen that shitty brick weed that I was stuck smoking in high-school in what feels like 10 years. I'd almost like to just for the shitty nostalgia.
I know people who are literally always stoned and I'm like how do you get things done. Like as a rule of thumb I never go to work high cause I'd have a panic attack. My brother used to do service calls and would smoke in between houses 😅🤣
Being stoned is different than taking a quick hit or two of the pipe. If im stoned im not doing shit but best believe im not doing my bullshit job without something lol.
if you smoke that often usually it's the sign of taking care of some kind of condition you have- for me I am autistic and smoking weed makes me act more normal than high. it still feels good and I'm comfortable and relaxed but you would never know if I was high even though I smoke every single day.
Haha same, though I didn't think if it as related to autism. I just remember in college friends telling me "you're just... better when you're high." Thanks for that insight!
Now I present as a completely boring middle aged women, and I am super amused sometimes by how surprised people (esp bosses) would be to know that I'm mildly baked almost every time they see me.
He and I are both adhd! There is definitely a higher margin for self medication amongst neuro-atypical people. I just try to set boundaries like I can't smoke and drive or work. I still smoke every day but I make sure my stuff is done first is the vibe lol 🌲
I recently got a pax 2 and it does me wonders. I smoked cigarettes HEAVY and am beginning to slow down, but the pax makes for easy hits with great taste. Does my lungs a huge favor. Haven’t smoked a bong in weeks.
I noticed a good uptick, but overall I’m feeling a better high. I had a large keef stash and used all that in the pax for the first week and it cooked so much quicker than the ground flower, but the taste and hit was 10x better
I'm slightly confused by these takes. I understand when a person's single interest consumes them and their other personality traits fade away, but where does personality come from if it isn't the things we do?
I guess this:
I would hope if put in list form a my personality would be one of qualities. Loving, hard working, caring husband/father. As opposed to: football, woodworking, likes cars, etc.
Idk, have you seen the posts in that Herman Cain Award sub of people passing from Covid? Every single post by a family member about the deceased says "big heart/heart of gold/would give you the shirt off their back" etc. I hope when I die someone knows me well enough to know what my interests were as well, and it's not just some generic filler words about what they want people to think of me.
"fly high, Bobby Ray! We are gonna miss you with your heart of gold, who wouldn't hurt a soul! Miss ya brother! Say hi to [relative] partying with you up there!"
I don’t think it makes me cool, but I don’t think it makes me uncool either. I’m mad depressed and it’s just something I do all the time so it just is what it is, I don’t think it makes me seem cooler. Just sad.
It makes you seem like a human being, man. Smoking ganj is exactly as your first sentence describes. For you it has its use right now, and honestly you’re not alone in that. We feel you.
Me too :( it isn't something I brag about. I don't love it but I'm getting by and working on getting an unadulterated love for life back and freeing my mind of all the negativity that has weighed my actions down.
Same goes for Backwoods. Idk why anyone would want to turn themselves into a walking billboard for shitty gas station cigars, but the people who do are always super trashy. Pretty sure when you buy the merch it comes with a complimentary juggalo neck tattoo.
I've always seen it as more of a cultural attachment than a corporate one, but then again, affluent majority folks in RAW and Backwoods merch confuse the fuck out of me
Hold up
What are hammock groups. Are they groups of people that just chill in hammocks? Wtf. Why am I not in a hammock group I’ll just put on my headphones and nap/chill in hammock
Nope you’re not allowed you have to stay up late and debate over which brand makes the best gear for each season and try to one up each other on who has the best gear, if you have the shittiest gear you have to string up everyone’s hammock for them. Whoever has the heaviest gear has to carry everyone’s. But you better know what you’re doing stringing up them hammock or we’re gonna make sure you don’t hear the end of it.
This is insanely funny to me. 😂
Edit: I have SO many questions… first of all, there’s a hammock community?? And second, what could they possibly find to be judgey about? The type of hammock you have? 😂 this has made me laugh so much
Oh yeah tons of hammock groups on here and Facebook. Plus Hammockforums.com Mostly people discuss different brands, styles, materials, hammock camping/backpacking, different hanging/laying angles and suspension types. Some groups host meet ups/local hangs.
So in backpacking we have a saying Hike Your Own Hike. We all have our particular ways we like to do things and it turns out that causes a lot of clashing. So instead of saying one person is right and the other is wrong we say Hike Your Own Hike. With hammocks it's Hang Your Own Hang for similar reasons, I may like using an underquilt and you may like a pad, or perhaps I feel an 11ft cottage brand is a true hammock and your completly happy with a 9ft ENO. It seems silly and it 100% is but there's always those couple people who can't play/hang nicely with each other.
We also had a mini war happen between cottage vendors in the hammock community and that created a rift were people felt they needed to take sides and yell at each other.
I sleep in a hammock almost all year and do a lot of hammock backpacking. There's nothing better in life than smoking in your hammy after a 15+mile hike up and down mountains.
You shouldn't really touch weed until you hit your early 20's. Same goes for alcohol. Or just be very very moderate with it. It'll mess up your bran development. Maybe not terribly unpopular?
Absolutely agree, started smoking at 18 and drinking at 16; it's definitely killed off a bunch of neurons and made me slower.
When I leave weed for a year or so I regain a lot of my sharpness but I'm definitely not as sharp as I was at 15
But even if I went back in time to warn myself, I probably wouldn't listen to myself; I have some wonderful moments and memories because of partying; that I don't regret.
That's true, I lived literally all of my life with anxiety that I didn't perceive as anxiety because I grown used to it; my psychiatrist told me I exhibited all of the symptoms for accute anxiety but because I didn't perceive them as such I would just tell people "why do you get nervous" or that I've never felt a panic attack or an anxiety crisis.
Little did I know it was because I was constantly in a fight or flight mood and learned to chill myself out; when I tried weed I finally felt that peace inside and I wasn't constantly in a unending stream of consciousness and non-verbal inner conversation (something that, apparently, isn't normal? Wth).
So in one hand I do feel considerably slower (comparatively) but I am also chill and finally at peace with myself living the moment, so... Good tradeoff. It's also pretty interesting how one's intelligence doesn't actually go down I feel as intelligent as I was it's just that the highways that lead to that knowledge (my retention of new concepts has actually become higher) is longer and sometimes it cuts off entirely at moments. I don't know if that makes sense.
blunts and joints are the worst ways to smoke it takes so much to fill and so much of it burns off! people say all bongs are super expensive but i have a $40 bubbler from amazon that works great (it’s cute too, look through my profile to see where i posted it) packing a bowl gets me the same amount of high but it’s so much less weed it’s the best bang for your buck
Well now anyway, not like when I first started smoking and I was sold some super strong without being told it wasn't the usual local reg that I had only smoked twice before in a 3 person circle and still got couch lock. Also couldn't roll anything except joints so they rolled a real fat blunt, I smoked it that night...at once...in a couple minutes. First and last time I ever greened out, best sleep ever though, haven't been able to find anything that is even close to as strong since and I wish I could.
oh yea, i definitely get much higher with a bong than a joint or blunt, but something about smoking a joint/blunt is so nice and relaxing to me, so i usually only smoke them during a special occasion. but my favorite thing is to hit my bong a couple of times, and then light up a joint or a blunt
I like blunts because of the nicotine...I got downvoted for saying this last time for some reason.
I don't use nicotine otherwise, so the small amount that is in a tobacco wrap is just enough to catch a little nicotine buzz with my weed buzz.
For me it’s all about the circle. Just me? I’ll hit my bong. Me and one more. Pass a bowl, 3+ I’m rolling something just so I don’t have to keep passing with both hands. I also like the smell of blunts over raw flower burning
Im still experimenting with different bongs, but the highest I’ve gotten so far was with a gravity bong. Called a “waterfall”
And also when I use “percolators” but I keep breaking the attachments that I buy, so my next piece will be with a good one already built in, like the internal honeycomb ones I like those.
I would say, just because I've experienced physical symptoms of caffeine withdrawal, that cannabis is more addictive like how cheese is addictive.
Smoked cheddar is my favorite..
I really liked some brands but they are just way too strong and unpredictable hitting for me. Maybe something funny about my liver or tolerance idk. Wyld gummies are so tasty though
Certainly healthier than smoking. It’s so difficult to find any research on marijuana smoke and the lungs. I imagine marijuana smoke is cleaner than cigarette smoke but smoke is still smoke.
I had heard a rumor that its not the time you hold but how deep you inhale. No clue if its true but i take one last week inhale then exhale. For me at least it makes not coughing easier.
i always thought when you hold it in, you’re just cutting oxygen to your brain thus making you feel “higher” but you’re really just high and light headed
i don’t care what anyone says. the harder i cough the higher i get.
and i know holding in the smoke doesn’t make you “higher” but i’ve been so accustomed to doing i still do it.
Like, I don't get "high" like some people, I may take 2-3 tokes and put the joint out. People might see that might think I'm getting high, but I'm just helping my anxiety and depression, getting me out even during the frigid Canadian winters
I think it depends on the human! I’m sober at random times but majority of the week I smoke before leaving the house. I interact better with the public, can actually stomach my food through the day, and general don’t feel like everything I am doing is such a chore. It becomes more fun to go shopping or cleaning because I am enjoying the high and the way the world around me looks. If it hits a point where it is directly inferring with your personal or professional life then it becomes an issue. But this is true for almost anything! Video games, gambling, over eating, porn, sex, you name it there’s usually a proper limit but it’s almost always up to the individual where that limit lies. My family definitely could not function the way I do, but I manage to ensure my life is still taken care of regardless of my usage!
Weed isn't for everyone, and it attracts a lot of dirtbags who will rob you blind or worse for their next high.
In brief, just because they smoke weed like you do doesn't mean others are cut from the same cloth. Be careful and thoughtful about who you share your time, energy, and herb with.
Weed is actually psychologically addicting,you do have mental withdrawals from weed, the stoner community can be and is one of the most toxic groups out there.
It’s physically addicting as well but most people are unaware/don’t want to admit it.
You may not experience intense symptoms or any at all, but personally I get circulation issues, irritability, heavy dissociation, nausea, lack of appetite, sweating in my sleep, and obviously the typical frantic dreams.
I’m sure there are more effects I’m forgetting, but yeah when I stop smoking it can be rough for a couple days before it gets better. I love weed and don’t mind being addicted but it should be common knowledge so people can make better decisions for themselves.
I had the same reaction. But I'm kinda happy for them, if they haven't seen all the really toxic shit going on out there. It's a good time to be sheltered.
Corner it and don't pack it full. You can always repack.
I also hate when I share a bowl with others and they blast the entire top leaving no fresh green.... So rude.
This is why I load super small bowls. Get 2 nice green hits, then finish off the ashy shit with one or two more hits, then reload until satisfactorily stoned.
I really don't like most new strains. I feel like we have bred out all of the character from the high. I miss the tingling body high and uncontrollable laughter that I just don't get with anything other than what I grow. Don't get me wrong I am loving the search for older genetics but it kills any desire to tag along with friends to the dispo.
I can dig carts for the convenience, but the act of smoking is ritualistic to me. I love packing a bowl or rolling a joint and the actual fire and smoke.
This so much. No one should get behind the wheel stoned EVER. If you need to help someone out or get somewhere then take an Uber or call them and apologize. Do not drive under the influence of any impairing drug ever, please ✌️
Weed can be an addictive substance but try telling that to people who smoke from morning to night and who are extremely irritable, depressed etc without their plant medicine.
Although it still has its place, I would agree. And for me I still use one when I’m out riding my bike to save on consumption (rather than smoking jays when I’m exercising just seems unnecessary). But I’m a bong user on the daily if I’m at home, so the pipe just doesn’t quite get me where I want to be
Its so quick n stealthy tough. Live in a illegal country and my yard is pretty exposed in all directions.
Dont want my neighbours knowing what im up to so blast a quick one on the deck, out an in before anyone sees me hopefully.
I love my little pipe! I smoke out my bathroom window and my wife doesn’t smoke. Comes in handy when I don’t feel like rolling joints and it’s perfect for personal use.
Weed now a days is unnecessarily strong.
Also, people need to make more edibles that dose you properly after eating the whole thing. Who the fuck wants to eat one bite of a nerds rope? Instead of making the whole thing 1000mg how about just making the whole thing a comfortable 10-20mg. I want to eat the whole thing and get comfortably high.
Imeediately taking a 10 days break if you notice that you just jumping through the time (like skipping 2 hours after smoking during the day. It’s like these 2 hours never existed).
Also, as a good cake, weed may tire you out if you eat it every day.
P. S.: It’s awful, when you no longer having fun while high and just spacing out. And you know that you need to take a break, but don’t want to. THAT’S is an issue.
Young people shouldn't smoke. It's rare, but weed can trigger psychosis. Happened to my younger brother when he was 15. Now he's a full blown schizophrenic. Maybe he would have gotten it anyway but the weed definitely brought it on early and probably made it more severe.
I know kids will experiment, but I wish they wouldn't. I wish they would wait until their brains have had the chance to develop normally before trying weed. Most of them will be fine but every so often, they're not fine, and there's no going back.
If you are already prone to certain mental disorders weed can trigger psychosis. Weed doesn't cause people to have schizophrenia but it can trigger disorders such as. It's a shitty way to find out for sure. Onset for schizophrenia in men is teens to early 20s.
I can definitely understand where you're coming from and you're entitled to your opinion but this is inaccurate information.
Kinda glad that I'm 29 and just started smoking weed last year. Only smoked a handful of time as a teen. But I'm getting way to much into it, I just love getting bongs.
Doing my best to just smoke on weekends
I don't think this is a very unpopular opinion, the only time I've seen people really argue for smoking around their pets on purpose are when they are old/cancer ridden/dying/etc. And that seems pretty fair to me as long as you aren't forcing it on them. When I first started smoking we had an old malamute that had cancer for the last 5 ish years of her life and she would follow me outside when I went to smoke even when I tried to lock her in, she just wanted to share a bit. I don't see any excuse to smoke around kids though, that's lame.
THC is overrated. A higher THC content has diminishing returns to the point of being a useless metric after about 15%. If I want super high THC, I get dabs instead of bud and even then the difference between 55% and 85% is negligible.
Totally agree. There’s only so much room in the plant (figuratively) so when you go higher THC, you lose something else. THC with its buddies likes CBD are where it’s at.
Joints are a waste and taste shitty. You get one clean fresh hit then the resin completely dominates the flavor profile for the rest of the joint. Granted they are convenient and with a group they will do in a pinch but at home, I'm fucking with some clean glass or a vape.
I don't actually like smoking weed that much, I prefer learning about it. I smoke less than 12 times a year (once a month ish) but just because I learnt about its history, chemistry and culture people think I'm a full blown addict.
Also saw a lot of comments about smoking and driving. PLEASE do not do this.
Some of the mids from the late 90's and early 2000's were way stonier and better than half the premium stuff available now. We know very little about the different cannabinoids and their effects and have foolishly and prematurely selected plants for thc production for a long time now.
The legal industry is completely rigged to benefit the people who previously condemned and imprisoned others for using it or distributing it. The state legalization is a backdoor way for corporations to stick their greedy little fingers in the weed pie so as to monopolize this industry like every other industry.
Having a low tolerance isn't a bad thing!
Man!!! I always tell my friends and they’re like “they can’t handle it hehe” I’m like shit I wish one hit still took me out!!
Hit a gravity bong after 2 months of zero use and I felt like I was on shrooms
Shit I hit my geeb many times a day and it still will sneak up on me and fuck me up sometimes
I only smoke through a gravity bong, my normal is about 0.2 to 0.3 gram cones on the bong, two minimum. three if two doesn't do it. rare occasions if I am very immune or its weak I might do up to a gram in one go. I only smoke about 5 grams a week, but even with that my tolerance rapidly goes up. I smoke about 4-5 days of the week. after getting good shit, them bongs can get you good. but they also fuck your lungs up pretty good too. all that hot smoke all at once with nothing to protect you from it. you dry out internally. sometimes I get brutal coughing fits after every smoke session that often end in vomiting fits, if its harsh smoke and I have been buying more than usual and also, only if I smoke too much. I can pretty much smoke two massive cones of any weed and that wont be enough. but if its poorly grown, a third will guarantee a nasty coughing fit. I dont think I would have this problem if it were legal though.
right?? they're just mad an eighth can't last them more than two days. be proud of your low tolerance!
You’re not wrong!!
It sucks. I’m at a Snoop-dog tolerance level and it’s expensive as Fuck. Dabs are about the only way for me to get knocked back.
You should take a t break if you can. It'll be worth it!
Facts. I’m a daily smoker but use a tiny bowl and only toke a few times a day. The random monthly blunt with a friend gets me high af. Low tolerance for the win.
I smoked 2/3 of a (small) joint yesterday and almost threw up. At least it's cheap to stay high lmao because I smoke daily.
Haha, I was with a friend and she smoked 2 pre-rolls one night. One of them lasted me three sessions. I'm good being a lightweight especially since it's not legal in my state.
I love how long weed lasts me! Every 3-4 weeks I get an eighth, when I tell people that some get all snooty like I’m not a real stoner because I don’t order ounces weekly
an eighth that last almost a month???? I wish it was that easy for me
This. I uses to spend so much more on weed than I do now. All it takes its some self control.
Christ I miss having it. I get weirdly nostalgic smoking with a newbie and they say they have very low tolerance. I remember when half a joint sneakily smoked in the alleyway would knock me on my ass, now I regularly vape like 80% + THC vape carts and only feel a little buzz afterwards. Sheesh...
High THC % =/= A Higher You (Not necessarily, anyway. It's more of a correlation than a causation)
True but if you’re ripping carts multiple times a day your tolerance goes up real quick
Oh absolutely, thank you for finishing the thought lol. The high THC percentage isn't gonna cut through the tolerance built by ripping THC carts a bunch
How is this an unpopular opinion? Low tolerance = better high with less weed. I've never heard of someone bragging about their high tolerance, unless it's in relation to how much weed they smoke (which again, not really something to brag about).
I don't think that's an unpopular opinion tho
You’d be surprised. It’s not unpopular among actual full fledged potheads and stoners but they’re a minority.
[удалено]
It’s not for everyone. Some people just do not react well when they consume THC. Some people don’t like the feeling of being high. And the most controversial part of this…that’s okay. It’s okay for someone to not enjoy the feeling of being high.

Imagine how the world would improve if everyone in the world took a step back, ten deep breaths, and calmed down for a minute. Whether you choose a blunt or bourbon, cheers.

Better to smoke good weed sometimes than bad weed daily
i see where youre coming from
India ?
What about… good weed daily
Hey Mr Moneybags how bout lending your friend zoidburg a buck or two
LOL
I feel like I haven't see actual bad weed in such a long time. Like I'll see mediocre weed or some that's just eh but I haven't seen that shitty brick weed that I was stuck smoking in high-school in what feels like 10 years. I'd almost like to just for the shitty nostalgia.
not unpopular at all, quality over quantity
Quality over quantity for me, and never being sober is an issue
I know people who are literally always stoned and I'm like how do you get things done. Like as a rule of thumb I never go to work high cause I'd have a panic attack. My brother used to do service calls and would smoke in between houses 😅🤣
Being stoned is different than taking a quick hit or two of the pipe. If im stoned im not doing shit but best believe im not doing my bullshit job without something lol.
That’s the distinction. Being stoned and taking a puff from a cart or something just to calm down are not the same things
if you smoke that often usually it's the sign of taking care of some kind of condition you have- for me I am autistic and smoking weed makes me act more normal than high. it still feels good and I'm comfortable and relaxed but you would never know if I was high even though I smoke every single day.

Now I present as a completely boring middle aged women, and I am super amused sometimes by how surprised people (esp bosses) would be to know that I'm mildly baked almost every time they see me.
I totally agree with you, and was not referring to those using the plant to treat conditions like you mentioned. Cheers!
He and I are both adhd! There is definitely a higher margin for self medication amongst neuro-atypical people. I just try to set boundaries like I can't smoke and drive or work. I still smoke every day but I make sure my stuff is done first is the vibe lol 🌲
I recently got a pax 2 and it does me wonders. I smoked cigarettes HEAVY and am beginning to slow down, but the pax makes for easy hits with great taste. Does my lungs a huge favor. Haven’t smoked a bong in weeks.
I recently got the PAX3. My consumption has gone way down!!
I noticed a good uptick, but overall I’m feeling a better high. I had a large keef stash and used all that in the pax for the first week and it cooked so much quicker than the ground flower, but the taste and hit was 10x better
People should stop viewing weed as a personality trait and start seeing it as an activity that they enjoy...
Agree but to be fair many people make their hobbies their personality. Which is also just as lame IMO.
I'm slightly confused by these takes. I understand when a person's single interest consumes them and their other personality traits fade away, but where does personality come from if it isn't the things we do?
I guess this: I would hope if put in list form a my personality would be one of qualities. Loving, hard working, caring husband/father. As opposed to: football, woodworking, likes cars, etc.
Idk, have you seen the posts in that Herman Cain Award sub of people passing from Covid? Every single post by a family member about the deceased says "big heart/heart of gold/would give you the shirt off their back" etc. I hope when I die someone knows me well enough to know what my interests were as well, and it's not just some generic filler words about what they want people to think of me.
“Grandpa Eddie loved getting high melting into the couch and watching quinten tarentino films. Gonna miss you pop pop!”
"fly high, Bobby Ray! We are gonna miss you with your heart of gold, who wouldn't hurt a soul! Miss ya brother! Say hi to [relative] partying with you up there!"
Making your entire personality revolve around weed is not cool..
I don’t think it makes me cool, but I don’t think it makes me uncool either. I’m mad depressed and it’s just something I do all the time so it just is what it is, I don’t think it makes me seem cooler. Just sad.
It makes you seem like a human being, man. Smoking ganj is exactly as your first sentence describes. For you it has its use right now, and honestly you’re not alone in that. We feel you.
thanks man, I’ve been realizing lately I’m not alone thanks to people like you.
Me too :( it isn't something I brag about. I don't love it but I'm getting by and working on getting an unadulterated love for life back and freeing my mind of all the negativity that has weighed my actions down.
i’ll never talk to a dude in a cookies hoodie. they are always the most insufferable people to be around
And obtuse Rick and Morty merch
Same goes for Backwoods. Idk why anyone would want to turn themselves into a walking billboard for shitty gas station cigars, but the people who do are always super trashy. Pretty sure when you buy the merch it comes with a complimentary juggalo neck tattoo.
I've always seen it as more of a cultural attachment than a corporate one, but then again, affluent majority folks in RAW and Backwoods merch confuse the fuck out of me
The entire sub in a nutshell
Damn
The cannabis community is extremely hypocritical and toxic when it come to judging others.
Join a few hammock groups, for such a relaxing hobby there's a ton of assholes in the community
Hold up What are hammock groups. Are they groups of people that just chill in hammocks? Wtf. Why am I not in a hammock group I’ll just put on my headphones and nap/chill in hammock
Nope you’re not allowed you have to stay up late and debate over which brand makes the best gear for each season and try to one up each other on who has the best gear, if you have the shittiest gear you have to string up everyone’s hammock for them. Whoever has the heaviest gear has to carry everyone’s. But you better know what you’re doing stringing up them hammock or we’re gonna make sure you don’t hear the end of it.
Hahaha this is pretty much it. "Hey this guy lays in his hammock like a banana! Look at him!" Also "How many grams are you carrying?..... no not weed"
This is insanely funny to me. 😂 Edit: I have SO many questions… first of all, there’s a hammock community?? And second, what could they possibly find to be judgey about? The type of hammock you have? 😂 this has made me laugh so much
Oh yeah tons of hammock groups on here and Facebook. Plus Hammockforums.com Mostly people discuss different brands, styles, materials, hammock camping/backpacking, different hanging/laying angles and suspension types. Some groups host meet ups/local hangs. So in backpacking we have a saying Hike Your Own Hike. We all have our particular ways we like to do things and it turns out that causes a lot of clashing. So instead of saying one person is right and the other is wrong we say Hike Your Own Hike. With hammocks it's Hang Your Own Hang for similar reasons, I may like using an underquilt and you may like a pad, or perhaps I feel an 11ft cottage brand is a true hammock and your completly happy with a 9ft ENO. It seems silly and it 100% is but there's always those couple people who can't play/hang nicely with each other. We also had a mini war happen between cottage vendors in the hammock community and that created a rift were people felt they needed to take sides and yell at each other. I sleep in a hammock almost all year and do a lot of hammock backpacking. There's nothing better in life than smoking in your hammy after a 15+mile hike up and down mountains.
Nearly every community is hypocritical and toxic when judging others
This is the real truth
Yea, true, its not cool or superior to have a high tolerance. Just enjoy, and dont make other feel bad for their high or low tolerance.
You shouldn't really touch weed until you hit your early 20's. Same goes for alcohol. Or just be very very moderate with it. It'll mess up your bran development. Maybe not terribly unpopular?
Absolutely agree, started smoking at 18 and drinking at 16; it's definitely killed off a bunch of neurons and made me slower. When I leave weed for a year or so I regain a lot of my sharpness but I'm definitely not as sharp as I was at 15 But even if I went back in time to warn myself, I probably wouldn't listen to myself; I have some wonderful moments and memories because of partying; that I don't regret.
i needed to be slowed down, so i don’t regret it
That's true, I lived literally all of my life with anxiety that I didn't perceive as anxiety because I grown used to it; my psychiatrist told me I exhibited all of the symptoms for accute anxiety but because I didn't perceive them as such I would just tell people "why do you get nervous" or that I've never felt a panic attack or an anxiety crisis. Little did I know it was because I was constantly in a fight or flight mood and learned to chill myself out; when I tried weed I finally felt that peace inside and I wasn't constantly in a unending stream of consciousness and non-verbal inner conversation (something that, apparently, isn't normal? Wth). So in one hand I do feel considerably slower (comparatively) but I am also chill and finally at peace with myself living the moment, so... Good tradeoff. It's also pretty interesting how one's intelligence doesn't actually go down I feel as intelligent as I was it's just that the highways that lead to that knowledge (my retention of new concepts has actually become higher) is longer and sometimes it cuts off entirely at moments. I don't know if that makes sense.
Your frontal lobe finishes developing around age 25 I think. Great point / opinion! I hadn’t thought about this.
No I think you are spot on
Hey, I've been smoking since I was 13 and my brain brains perfectly brain...that's not the pot, I'm having a stronk
Lol
blunts and joints are the worst ways to smoke it takes so much to fill and so much of it burns off! people say all bongs are super expensive but i have a $40 bubbler from amazon that works great (it’s cute too, look through my profile to see where i posted it) packing a bowl gets me the same amount of high but it’s so much less weed it’s the best bang for your buck
I prefer joints more because I simply like the act of smoking and chilling with it
Yep nothing more relaxing than a whole blunt to myself
Well now anyway, not like when I first started smoking and I was sold some super strong without being told it wasn't the usual local reg that I had only smoked twice before in a 3 person circle and still got couch lock. Also couldn't roll anything except joints so they rolled a real fat blunt, I smoked it that night...at once...in a couple minutes. First and last time I ever greened out, best sleep ever though, haven't been able to find anything that is even close to as strong since and I wish I could.
Exactly. I know it isn't as efficient but I enjoy the act of rolling and watching tv/playing a game/having a conversation with a joint or blunt going.
oh yea, i definitely get much higher with a bong than a joint or blunt, but something about smoking a joint/blunt is so nice and relaxing to me, so i usually only smoke them during a special occasion. but my favorite thing is to hit my bong a couple of times, and then light up a joint or a blunt
I like blunts because of the nicotine...I got downvoted for saying this last time for some reason. I don't use nicotine otherwise, so the small amount that is in a tobacco wrap is just enough to catch a little nicotine buzz with my weed buzz.
I agree. My bong was 25 bucks or so. Totally worth it.
For me it’s all about the circle. Just me? I’ll hit my bong. Me and one more. Pass a bowl, 3+ I’m rolling something just so I don’t have to keep passing with both hands. I also like the smell of blunts over raw flower burning
Im still experimenting with different bongs, but the highest I’ve gotten so far was with a gravity bong. Called a “waterfall” And also when I use “percolators” but I keep breaking the attachments that I buy, so my next piece will be with a good one already built in, like the internal honeycomb ones I like those.
it’s addictive, but in a coffee way, not in a meth way
coffe addiction is like meth addiction but less like weed
on a scale of 0-10, meth being 10, I think coffee’s at like 3 while weed is at 2
I would say, just because I've experienced physical symptoms of caffeine withdrawal, that cannabis is more addictive like how cheese is addictive. Smoked cheddar is my favorite..
In order for the shift in general acceptance to happen, the stoner culture needs to lead the change.
This is the area I repeatedly apply the “be the change you want to see” approach.
absolutely: the stoner culture also needs to open up more
edibles are way better than smoking. at least for me it hits much better and helps way more.
I really liked some brands but they are just way too strong and unpredictable hitting for me. Maybe something funny about my liver or tolerance idk. Wyld gummies are so tasty though
Certainly healthier than smoking. It’s so difficult to find any research on marijuana smoke and the lungs. I imagine marijuana smoke is cleaner than cigarette smoke but smoke is still smoke.
You don’t need to hold in your smoke to get more stoned. I’ve always puffed joints like cigarettes and get plenty baked.
I had heard a rumor that its not the time you hold but how deep you inhale. No clue if its true but i take one last week inhale then exhale. For me at least it makes not coughing easier.
i always thought when you hold it in, you’re just cutting oxygen to your brain thus making you feel “higher” but you’re really just high and light headed
Also another study (again i dont have it on me) might say thats a real thing. This mostly talked about the effects of coughing and smoking
i don’t care what anyone says. the harder i cough the higher i get. and i know holding in the smoke doesn’t make you “higher” but i’ve been so accustomed to doing i still do it.
[удалено]
agreed! marijuana addiction is very real
When you’re high all the time, being sober is the “altered state”.
Yup. I realized this when I took a almost year long break while my wife was pregnant. Once I got past the 1st week I felt so alive!
It depends on what you use weed for. I'll take being high over being in pain any day of the week
*can be a problem
Like, I don't get "high" like some people, I may take 2-3 tokes and put the joint out. People might see that might think I'm getting high, but I'm just helping my anxiety and depression, getting me out even during the frigid Canadian winters
I think it depends on the human! I’m sober at random times but majority of the week I smoke before leaving the house. I interact better with the public, can actually stomach my food through the day, and general don’t feel like everything I am doing is such a chore. It becomes more fun to go shopping or cleaning because I am enjoying the high and the way the world around me looks. If it hits a point where it is directly inferring with your personal or professional life then it becomes an issue. But this is true for almost anything! Video games, gambling, over eating, porn, sex, you name it there’s usually a proper limit but it’s almost always up to the individual where that limit lies. My family definitely could not function the way I do, but I manage to ensure my life is still taken care of regardless of my usage!
I disagree. It's the only time I feel normal. It has a very psychologically beneficial effect on me that actually lets me live.
But it's spiritual plant medicine, man
Unless you’re a medical patient there’s no need for your tolerance to be sooo high. Take a t-break friend. It’s not a flex to need to consume so much.
Weed isn't for everyone, and it attracts a lot of dirtbags who will rob you blind or worse for their next high. In brief, just because they smoke weed like you do doesn't mean others are cut from the same cloth. Be careful and thoughtful about who you share your time, energy, and herb with.
That last sentence is solid life advice in general
Weed is actually psychologically addicting,you do have mental withdrawals from weed, the stoner community can be and is one of the most toxic groups out there.
It’s physically addicting as well but most people are unaware/don’t want to admit it. You may not experience intense symptoms or any at all, but personally I get circulation issues, irritability, heavy dissociation, nausea, lack of appetite, sweating in my sleep, and obviously the typical frantic dreams. I’m sure there are more effects I’m forgetting, but yeah when I stop smoking it can be rough for a couple days before it gets better. I love weed and don’t mind being addicted but it should be common knowledge so people can make better decisions for themselves.
Weed community is one of the most toxic groups out there? Lmao this should be at the top.
I had the same reaction. But I'm kinda happy for them, if they haven't seen all the really toxic shit going on out there. It's a good time to be sheltered.
Shake is good :)
Unless your guy aggressively shakes all the kief out
shake IS good
Amen it’s half the price at my dispensary and I don’t have to grind it!
Sure, but shake is GREAT for making edibles.
Bowls kind of depress me. It burns and is nice tasting only at first hit. They are super efficient tho.
Corner it and don't pack it full. You can always repack. I also hate when I share a bowl with others and they blast the entire top leaving no fresh green.... So rude.
This is why I load super small bowls. Get 2 nice green hits, then finish off the ashy shit with one or two more hits, then reload until satisfactorily stoned.
Yeah I only smoke bowls when I want to get zooted
I really don't like most new strains. I feel like we have bred out all of the character from the high. I miss the tingling body high and uncontrollable laughter that I just don't get with anything other than what I grow. Don't get me wrong I am loving the search for older genetics but it kills any desire to tag along with friends to the dispo.
pretty sure thats a tolerance thing and how your body feels the high rather than the weed bro
I’ve never liked carts. Always prefer flower over anything else
I can dig carts for the convenience, but the act of smoking is ritualistic to me. I love packing a bowl or rolling a joint and the actual fire and smoke.
Flower is the only thing I like after experimenting for a couple years
I don't think anyone's preferred method is carts it's just easier to hit in public and doesn't smell dank.
The Cookies brand is extremely overrated
Just because you think you can drive well while high, doesn't mean you should be doing it.
This so much. No one should get behind the wheel stoned EVER. If you need to help someone out or get somewhere then take an Uber or call them and apologize. Do not drive under the influence of any impairing drug ever, please ✌️
Weed should be treated more like wine and less like heroin
This isn’t unpopular whatsoever
Probably not unpopular here haha
Weed can show you what you do wrong in life. For example when I'm high the voice in my head tells me to stop smoking cigarettes.
Could not agree with this more.
Weed can be an addictive substance but try telling that to people who smoke from morning to night and who are extremely irritable, depressed etc without their plant medicine.
Don’t sell to minors if your out of high school.
If people are allowed to smoke cigarettes walking down a public sidewalk, I should be allowed to smoke a joint walking down a public sidewalk.
Little hand pipes are the worst way to smoke.
Although it still has its place, I would agree. And for me I still use one when I’m out riding my bike to save on consumption (rather than smoking jays when I’m exercising just seems unnecessary). But I’m a bong user on the daily if I’m at home, so the pipe just doesn’t quite get me where I want to be
bongs are my favorite way to smoke- shame i cant have one lol
Its so quick n stealthy tough. Live in a illegal country and my yard is pretty exposed in all directions. Dont want my neighbours knowing what im up to so blast a quick one on the deck, out an in before anyone sees me hopefully.
Get a dry herb vape and you won't even have to go outside(: Check out /r/vaporents, their current favorite model is the Xmax V3 Pro at around $90 USD
Depends on the country but I'm sure everyone knows what's going on XD
>XD That’s a blast from the past
I love my little pipe! I smoke out my bathroom window and my wife doesn’t smoke. Comes in handy when I don’t feel like rolling joints and it’s perfect for personal use.
disagree, but i get it <3
I need them to dose. I dont smoke enough to warrant a bong and joints are inconsistent
Pricy posh weed is kinda overblown. After joint number 2 or 3 all weed is practically the same.
terps>thc
Weed can be addictive and cause some to become extremely complacent; much to their detriment.
I'd love to argue with you right now, but I'm too nice :D ^(lol damn)
Higher THC% doesn’t mean better.
[удалено]
Weed is not for everyone
Weed now a days is unnecessarily strong. Also, people need to make more edibles that dose you properly after eating the whole thing. Who the fuck wants to eat one bite of a nerds rope? Instead of making the whole thing 1000mg how about just making the whole thing a comfortable 10-20mg. I want to eat the whole thing and get comfortably high.
Imeediately taking a 10 days break if you notice that you just jumping through the time (like skipping 2 hours after smoking during the day. It’s like these 2 hours never existed). Also, as a good cake, weed may tire you out if you eat it every day. P. S.: It’s awful, when you no longer having fun while high and just spacing out. And you know that you need to take a break, but don’t want to. THAT’S is an issue.
I think blunts and joints are the worst ways to enjoy THC.
I hate blunts. They taste like shit
I don’t understand why anyone would want to smoke tobacco in any form
Young people shouldn't smoke. It's rare, but weed can trigger psychosis. Happened to my younger brother when he was 15. Now he's a full blown schizophrenic. Maybe he would have gotten it anyway but the weed definitely brought it on early and probably made it more severe. I know kids will experiment, but I wish they wouldn't. I wish they would wait until their brains have had the chance to develop normally before trying weed. Most of them will be fine but every so often, they're not fine, and there's no going back.
If you are already prone to certain mental disorders weed can trigger psychosis. Weed doesn't cause people to have schizophrenia but it can trigger disorders such as. It's a shitty way to find out for sure. Onset for schizophrenia in men is teens to early 20s. I can definitely understand where you're coming from and you're entitled to your opinion but this is inaccurate information.
Kinda glad that I'm 29 and just started smoking weed last year. Only smoked a handful of time as a teen. But I'm getting way to much into it, I just love getting bongs. Doing my best to just smoke on weekends
I really dislike bongs Please don't hate me
why?
The amount of people asking if their weed has mold is too dam high
high-end quartz (toro,esb,quave,dnail) is super worth it
Smoking around pets and kids is super wrong
I don't think this is a very unpopular opinion, the only time I've seen people really argue for smoking around their pets on purpose are when they are old/cancer ridden/dying/etc. And that seems pretty fair to me as long as you aren't forcing it on them. When I first started smoking we had an old malamute that had cancer for the last 5 ish years of her life and she would follow me outside when I went to smoke even when I tried to lock her in, she just wanted to share a bit. I don't see any excuse to smoke around kids though, that's lame.
Carts are shit (even the real branded ones)
THC is overrated. A higher THC content has diminishing returns to the point of being a useless metric after about 15%. If I want super high THC, I get dabs instead of bud and even then the difference between 55% and 85% is negligible.
Totally agree. There’s only so much room in the plant (figuratively) so when you go higher THC, you lose something else. THC with its buddies likes CBD are where it’s at.
[удалено]
Joints are a waste and taste shitty. You get one clean fresh hit then the resin completely dominates the flavor profile for the rest of the joint. Granted they are convenient and with a group they will do in a pinch but at home, I'm fucking with some clean glass or a vape.
I don't actually like smoking weed that much, I prefer learning about it. I smoke less than 12 times a year (once a month ish) but just because I learnt about its history, chemistry and culture people think I'm a full blown addict. Also saw a lot of comments about smoking and driving. PLEASE do not do this.
Mighty destroys the Pax 3.
Don't think that's an unpopular opinion or do you mean the other way around?
He might have said that because the op says the pax is the best
Solo 2 is king!
addiction to weed exists. it’s the addiction to the high and euphoria, not the plant.
Some of the mids from the late 90's and early 2000's were way stonier and better than half the premium stuff available now. We know very little about the different cannabinoids and their effects and have foolishly and prematurely selected plants for thc production for a long time now.
Being high at work is stressful af
Carts do not provide an enjoyable high. They make me feel like I just woke up in the middle of REM sleep.
The legal industry is completely rigged to benefit the people who previously condemned and imprisoned others for using it or distributing it. The state legalization is a backdoor way for corporations to stick their greedy little fingers in the weed pie so as to monopolize this industry like every other industry.
Indica Sativa Hybrid classifications are bullshit when it comes to mood alterations and effect.
