Do You Find Weed These Days doesn't Get You STONED like Yesteryear ?

nope

i used to be happy with schwag back in the day lol

(((anything but headache pot)))

now we have what we need and it is just exactly perfect for me !

oh yea i smoked all sideshow bob's thai stick and other assorted old frozen buds when we first met

no sense "saving" them for a decade, after all

lol

When I was smoking a lot of concentrates a few years back, getting STONED became elusive, but since I've dialed things back, it's all good again.

I heard that with all the popularity of cannabis these days people are developing a resistance similar to what happens when overuse of antibiotics results in ineffective treatment.  
They say in the next 5-8 years no one will be able to get stoned at all!

What you are doing on weed is important. 

Started toking in 1968. Started smoking good weed in 1969. Since then it;s been the same; no change. Good buds are more prevalent now but the good stuff is still just as good and gets me just as high.

Endocannabinoid receptors are "cleansed" after a 2 week hiatus from weed use , resulting in small amounts of weed having a stronger effect once use resumes.  And , imo, the endless kush and cookie cuts help with pain management, insomnia and anxiety, but they don't take your mind anywhere.

I'm happy even living in a non- legal state.  Of course the amount of ingestion matters.

Hi, Joe.

^ what joe said. Quitting for a while every now n agin has its advantages

A Joe indicated, your bodies tolerance matters.

I took 20 years off- the first time I took three tokes (killed my throat) I was reduced to sitting on the couch laughing at what was on TV like a 1st-grader.

Getting stoned,  it's still a thing

I seem to take a month or so off every 3-5 years to hit the reset  on the receptors, as Joe said above, it also saves money, smoking a bunch of weed is not cheap. Cannot wait until its gro time down here, I have always had a green thumb. Started in 75 

eating mangos helps get ya there too

Joe or Tim- never grew before, but a guy gave me a 3 foot plant that seems to be kicking ass. When is our "growing season", and why not now? 

Earl, assuming it's a photoperiod plant, now is a great time with daylight hours getting shorter. It should be ready sometime in October.

Don't know what photoperiod means, Mike, but that thing looks like it's going to flower like yo' momma. 

Hi, jaz. There's some decent legal weed just a bit northwest of you  ;-)

Earl, reentry from your 20 yr break sounds like it was time well spent. Sometimes those micro-vacations are what's needed :-)

.

There's two kinds of cannabis, Earl: photoperiod and autoflowering. Photoperiods rely on the amount of daylight to determine when flowering begins; as daylight dwindles, flowering begins. Autoflowers start flowering after a certain amount of time regardless of the amount of daylight available.

With the Florida rain and sun Earl, that thing will grow like a weed. 

I did run into some interesting weed the other day, the most purplish thing I have ever seen. The whole bud was purple leaves and all. 

^ maybe it was Huckleberry Soda, I've seen that purple going around.

I have a friend of a friend around Miami, FL whom dropped a few seeds from a bag of weed into a bucket of dirt in his yard sometime in the early  Spring which took off and flowered normally. He was sending pics,  asking for tips throughout the development, and he harvested in later June. He said the weed was really good. I was and remain a little perplexed how this could all happen in an environment of increasingly long days. Does anyone know how those big equatorial Caribbean Sativa's do "year round" or is there a regular season like most places?

This guy had to remove a male though that he thought was "budding". I wonder how seedy the remaining pot was. LOL

I'll be in touch. Might be a short while. 

Lotta purple weed in CO. I had read a while back that cooler air during flowering will do that and it doesn't necessarily point to genetics?

CT selling Headcracker at T40  so if that doesn't get ya burnt then ya may have a problem.

The taste of the purple was nothing special, and I did not have much to really judge it. Usually I switch up a bit, but have been on a steady diet of gg#4 lately. I have 1 rule to stay away with anything with a fruit in its name. I will try a purple something but call it grape and I am out 

Back to the spirit of the thread....For as long as I can remember smoking any weed, 2-3 hits of anything worthwhile should be good (for me anyway). I notice that some (usually dispensary) weed has shorter affects with a sometimes 'boring' buzz as in no real head space stretch or deeper, funnier thoughts and ideas. My tolerance has basically not budged at all and I am happy about that but I also very rarely ever smoked concentrates, consumed edibles, and I typically only smoke in the evening/night. THAT is boring in and of itself, huh? LOL 

I generally much prefer home grown or weed that has been small-batch cared-for by good growers whom really care to take the extra steps to make a t as fine as possible.

Buncha outdoor autoflowers comin' ripe around now (not ours). So far, they suck. Not much in the looks dept., not much flavor, not much density, not much THC. We had one - it refused to autoflower and is now almost 8 ft. tall and looking to flower "normally"

My understanding is that autoflowering strains share a common parent: cannabis ruderalis. Ruderalis strains adapted in northern environments, where the amount of daylight hours is short, so they start flowering quickly, like 3-4 weeks after planting, but the amount of THC they produce is quite low compared to what many of us have become accustomed to. That deficit has been overcome somewhat by breeding ruderalis with high THC strains, but the resulting autoflowering strains still don't really measure up to photoperiod levels of THC.

That's part of why I am back on another hiatus.  I tend to chronically smoke when using, morning, noon and night.  It just wasn't elevating me, and made me even more introverted, which wasn't helping me effectively manage my business.  This is my third lengthy break in the last six years.  I went over a year the first two breaks.  
 

One thing I noticed this time were much greater mood swings when I stopped.  From euphoric giddiness to deep depression, the likes of which I'd never previously experienced.  I had started smoking again last December when I was driving my mom's SUV she had willed me after she died last October across country.  My dad died 12 days after I got home.  This current break was my first time being weed sober since their passings, and I think my usage may have inhibited my ability to process my grief.  I'm feeling much more stable and better now, but for a couple of weeks, it was sketchy, and I was wondering if I was losing it.   Making me think real hard about how regularly I use if/when I start up again.

These are my favorite zone threads.

The ones where all the burnouts compare notes?

only custy's smoke dispensary weed. even when the bud tender tells you it isnt hydro, its hydro. 

I get a kick out of all the strain names.  I have a trio of OGs on hand.

Church

Fire

SF (maybe that one's "S-FOG"?).

3-5 others counting "Rainy day" and instrument case stashes.

But to answer the question:  They all seem to be doin' the trick.

The oil concentrates now are much purer - especially the C02 extracts. Smoked and vaped oil for years that always had something of a solvent taste. Some of them still do, but there are brands that are very pure - and stoney.

CO@ extracts are completely clean, as are concentrates made from presses, and they're super high-potency. Quite a departure from the hash oil of yore.

Still makes me want to murder.  

Da Jams!
