Questions about MJ Highs

[Zman]

I don't know if I'm even in the right thread to post but I have questions that I need/want answered please.

Okay, first off I'm going to start from the beginning of when I first got into drugs. I was 16 I believe and my friend got me into trying weed. I soon enjoyed the high of MJ and I was in a happy mood--even talking about MJ just gave me a boost of endorphines in my body. Weed was my drug and I always enjoyed the high. Later in life I got into Cocaine heavily and did it everyday for over a year. The high was totally different and I actually liked it a lot better then weed. Its been over a year being sober of Yay and now I recently got back into MJ but now the high just sucks! I get somewhat anxiouty, nervous, and I just dont get a pleasant high anymore. Is it because of doing hardcore drugs so much and so much of it? Or is it my medications ineracting with it? Or is my body just used to the high and I just won't get the same high I used to get??

This happens to all those who switch from mj to coke then to mj. You have to remember that being anxious is part of being mj high. Coke is a drug that purely just boosts you. MJ makes you either boost yourself or tweak yourself out. Thats why mj users are so chill about the worst of situations cuz when they get high they get rushes of crazy thoughts you just gotta laugh at them and flow with it. I'd go more into depth if you want me to. On my tips to overcome smokers anxiety.

The best way to administer cannabis if you have anxieties is with outer distractions(video game, a movie, someone to talk to, somewhere to walk to), and slow intake(No big ass bong rips of dank nuggets). Avoid caffiene, and wake 'n bakes.

Set up your environment with some food and water, and make sure you have nothing important to do(as you learn the basic fundaments of being high you can learn to drive and do normal shit but if your a tweak then baby steps). As you slowly toke your pipe or joint ignore that fact that your even smoking marijuana. Just focus on what is going on around you. Enjoy yourself, when you hear that noise in your head, or see the dullstatic surrounding everything you see, you have to remember that that's what the world looks like through stoned eyes. Giggle at it, and it's no longer a monster.

if you start tweaking out because your hands/feet are cold, it's normal for any kind of smoker to experiance that. If your tweaking because you can hear your heart beat pretty fast you have to realize that you are in control of that and move to higher ground, giggle, eat some cookies.

If you get that whole "there is two me's in my head thinking different things!?" my best advice is just to close the debate and move on to higher ground, once again giggle, cuz I've seen some breakdowns become of that. Marijuana is a tool to over come your fears and anxieties because you actually FEEL them, so it makes the battle harder, however after you have won the battle you can use what you've learned from the fight and carry it on in your daily life.

I'm pretty drunk this turned into a huge tangent.

...Or better yet get some Indica. You probably smoked some Sativa...

Indica will give you that body high. Sativa can make your head spin, I have a hard time with some Sativas and get very anxious. Stick with Indica if you can.

Thanks for going into detail of my situation. I kinda get what you are saying but a little confused at the same time. Are you saying that I need to just relax and re-think like a stonner? And teach my body to be calm etc? I have a comprehension problem so bare with me and correct me if I'm wrong or misunderstood what you were saying. Will I ever get the same high that I used to get when I first got into MJ? The high I would get was awesome. My lower half body would go numb (feeling like I was floating) with a firey-tingly sensation. Seeing 2D also sometimes. And just having fun and laughing at the dumbest things; with a good additude still. Now I don't get that kind of high and it really sucks... makes me upset that I don't feel that. Instead I start to feel noxious and just a not-so-pleasant high...

MJ is not a drug, you can smok it as much as you want but in certain dozes...., but better not to abuse real drugs....

Marijuana is a drug. Just like caffeine is a drug. It just happens to be a naturally occurring drug. (like caffeine)

And zman, The best thing I can suggest is for you to just rent a stoner movie, get some food ready next to a couch, sit down outside, chill out and have a good smoke. You probably shouldn't get ripped, just buzzed. Once you're satisfied, go sit down, start your movie and have a good time. If you hear something, write it off as the mj talking and laugh (like Smaerd said)

I'm sure that if you keep at it and get yourself to remember that kind of mindset, you will regain your happy high.

Thanks Ziggy! I really do appreciate your input. I wish I never got into heavy drugs because now, lower class drugs just isn't the same like it once was... =( I remember when MJ was the only thing I would think about and actually appreciated the drug and the high I got. Its bogus now and it makes me depressed that I somehow just don't get the enjoyable, same feeling high I once got. I'll do what you told me tho and see if that helps.

[Ziggy Fry]

No problem

Keep us updated.

also one thing i dont think anyone has mentioned is that anytime someone first uses MJ that the affects are the greatest. maby people complain of not getting the same effects as they did at first even after quitting and lowing their tolerance. I know that i for one am that way. although i cant offer any advice about the effects of MJ after cocaine use which i'm sure plays the majority of the role in your problem.

The only way i get nervious or anxious when im high is because i feel like im acting awkward or wierdly and i start getting nervious about what people think about me ussual only happens when im around people i dont ussual chill with though.
Also sometimes when i get high i will just start worrying about shit that i wasnt even thinking about sober

I don't know what your source of MJ is, but if you buy from dealers, try buying from a different dealer in order to get different kind of bud. Smoking different kind of buds may also help alot. Some buds are more anxiety provoking then others, and of course, some buds get you MUCH higher than other buds, example.... kush vs. beasters.
