A bit of a power-level. Figure this might be an interesting read for someone.

My entire life I never partook in weed or anything that will make you "high". Brief experiences with alcohol that were just summed up as "yep, I feel somewhat impaired and that's about it." Extremely dubious of uppers/downers and opioids being taken to manage stress/anxiety/depression/pain. Family history of addiction and abuse. Very intolerant of being around anyone that's a Xanax zombie.

Talked to my doctor about getting a medical card. Went to local dispensary and ended up getting a package of edibles. (Not interested in smoking, have always been put off being around any type of smoking.)

Here's how the first experience went:
1. Ingested 10mg edible.
2. 10-20 minutes pass, no perceivable effect yet.
3. 30-40 minutes have passed, a dull headache, still no perceivable effect, starting to think nothing significant is going to happen. (used to pain medications ranging from OTC to prescribed having little to no effect on me)
4. 40-50 minutes have passed, slight tingly feeling.
5. 50-60 minutes have passed, on computer while lying down in bed typing out a response in regards to something I was working on. Suddenly hit with an overwhelming sensation.

The following will just be a string of consciousness and fuzzy recollection of how things went for the next 2-3 hours:

Wave of elation throughout body. What I was doing has gone out the window. Nervousness and heaviness in chest. Heartbeat feels fast, but when measuring it, it seems fine. Surroundings feel very far away. Three second goldfish memory. Cannot hold together a thought or sentence fully. Perception of time feels desynced. Paranoia. Getting up from bed, walking between bathroom, kitchen, and living room. The journey between these places feel instantaneous and I can't remember even physically taking the steps.

Terror. Feels like too much. Intrusive thoughts. Briefly thought I had died and this continued existence was my deceased brain's neurons still firing, at least for a bit. Uphill battle to rationalize how to handle this unknown feeling. Decide to unlock my front door and keep my phone next to me in bed, in an attempt to make things easier should emergency services be called. Thoughts and attempts to communicate with a friend in DMs extremely abstract and detached from reality. Paranoia. Chest heavy. Slow acclimation. Slowly less scary and more tolerable.

Brain making countless connections. Sudden flashbacks to very vivid and clear moments of my own past. Things I had long forgotten ever happened. Epiphany and self reflection. Meta thought through brief lucidity and coherence: "how does anyone get anything done in this state?" Hunger. Frozen pizza? No. I do not want to gamble on using the oven while in this state. Ordered Taco Bell with no-contact delivery. They got the entire order wrong. (Not even my order?) Didn't mind, ate it anyway, got refunded for receiving the wrong order. Stayed awake for a while in a more manageable state enjoying the relief from the usual sciatic nerve pain. Pass out for several hours. Wake up still feeling good and more coherent. Continued to be in good spirits for several days after this.
Takeaway is.. It's nice if you can handle it and avoid letting it become too regular or frequent of an occurrence or something that impacts other people around you negatively? Don't want to be in this state all the time, or in this state around other people at all, too vulnerable and unpredictable. Offers an opportunity to not feel so painfully grounded in reality and jaded. Has made me think in different ways and recall moments from my childhood in uncanny clarity. Did feel more creative, but struggled to bring myself to channel it into a productive output. Very envious of anyone who can tame this state of mind and use it to their advantage for creative outlets. All I really have managed during it is schizo-tier rambling.
complexity numbness
splendor was the advancement as we grew up
but we have been numbed by the amount of constant splendor everywhere around us
advancement as a species

what if you just stop seeing yourself
the remembrance of your own appearance is merely remembering a time you looked in the mirror or had your picture taken
imagine going years without seeing updates of your face
what if a man were to only witness his own visage every 10 years

knowledge to know why you are not undefeatable is what will lead you to your defeat
it's not an enemy learning your weakness, it's the enemy simply stating that they know your weakness, before the weakness was ever real

Any gymbro stoners in here who enjoy lifting heavy stone while blasted?
 
Two weeks is good enough of a tolerance break to get the CB receptors back to normal. If feel like you need to but can't do that you've got to take a look at what's going on in your life and your relationship with weed. Situational though, if you're in a good place with your current usage there's no inherent need to take a break.

If you're like me you'll want to sometimes just for a different perspective.

Longer than this is way better if you're having some negative psychological or physical effects though. Receptors in general really aren't that well understood.
I mean taking a break from any substance even if things are going good is beneficial. Just for the sake of mental health, being perpetually under the influence cannot possibly be good for you, unless you're a schizo.
But your other points are sound.
 
Potheads anger me so much, from their annoying voices to their garbage arguments in favor of pot, such as What About Alcohol? Weed is medicine, dude; its not addictive. Or Americas not a theocracy, bro, stop biblethumping, let me smoke pot, or Freedom, even though they only care about the freedom to smoke pot. Is there any other argument in favor of pot besides these?
It's fun when you got nothing else going on.

That's exactly what it is, you're giving yourself a break to get back to baseline. Sometimes that'll bring things to your attention you were covering up through using the substance even if unintentionally.

Always a good idea.

Seeing less of the extremes on this one, but I have noticed that none of the frequent smokers I know are anything but pozzed n zogged
 
Been smoking since 16, now 57. My SO also smokes but far less often, when he takes a hit he gets BUSY in the garage and outside doing yardwork. Depending on my mood it either gets me up and at 'em, or readies me do my tedious hobby while listening to a podcast.

I never got high before work, and morning toking was for lazy weekend morning wake-n-bakes.

Now that I'm done working, chances are high that I am stoned whenever I post (like now!) I go through about an ounce every 45 days and have at least 2 strains at any given time. I am just so used to it, and I am a very high-strung person with the metabolism of a racehorse. I try to be classy about it what with my Czech blown glass scorpion bong and weed vial, plus lil' glass bowl with a tiny red crab (so cute!) and I clean 'em daily. My how times have changed since my first G Graphics bong filled with thai stick or Colombian gold!

I don't get the munchies nor do I get paranoid (anymore, I used to get panic attacks here and there a long time ago, but see also "high strung.") Pot helps my chronic rheumatoid arthritis and TMD. Mentally, it lets me get deep into the conversations I listen to while I do my hobby, yet also helps me get motivated to tackle things like sweeping and mopping the hardwood floors throughout the 2-story house (a real chore, with 4 cats it gets hairy around here!) or pull out the bread machine and make something yummy. It depends on my intentions and mindset before I partake. If you are just smoking to smoke that's fine, but I try to put a POD together during my first hour of the day so I accomplish my goals. Or not, I ain't gotta do nuffin if I don't want to 'cause I keep up with my shit.

Speaking of shit, there ain't nothing like coffee and a small hit to get things moving first thing in the morning.
 
Weed would be a lot more tolerable if it hadn't been suppressed for generations creating a counter-culture borderline neo-culture that refuses to accept any criticism of stoners.

It's pretty much harmless as long as you 1. don't consume it 24/7 2. don't base every aspect of your personality on it.
 
So are you against sugar, corn syrup, caffeine, and social media?
Aside from sugar, which isn't inherently bad for obvious reasons. I can say with full sincerity that I would never tell a person that any of those things are good, or even benign, nor do they have a dedicated religious sect proselytizing them constantly.
Far more of a problem weeaboo.
This thread isn't about those things. Whataboutism doesn't mean weed-addicts aren't addicts.
 
Disclaimer: I'm not a 24/7 stoner, but I do get high every night after work so I'm not unbiased.
All I really have managed during it is schizo-tier rambling.
10mg is a lot for your first time imo, but I'm glad it wasn't a wholly negative experience for you. My first time using it was overwhelming as well, but I found that once I knew what to expect and I'd done it a few times I enjoyed it more.

I'm not necessarily encouraging you to do it more, but my first time high and my tenth time were very different.
Perception of time feels desynced
I love this feeling on the condition it feels like time is moving slower than it is. I can't stand the times I look at the clock, feel like it's been minutes and it's actually hours later.

Same. I'll get high after work, chill for like hours and think it's like 3am but then realize it's not even midnight yet.

It's really great, like an extra good version of the time change backwards and getting the extra hour, or at least it feels like that. Such a great drug for relaxing.
Dude weed lmao
