I've done weed 5 times. It was nice 2 times, didn't feel anything twice and had a panic attack the last time. I never knew what I smoked. I am curious to try again, but how can I avoid the panic and paranoia reaction? Do I just avoid sativa, or can it happen with any strain? I have issues with too much activating substances in general. It's decriminalized here, but not sold to the public
>>33889466Reduce the dosage. Also, cannabis requires a lot of experience in order for you to use it more effectively, so some unpleasant experiences will happen.
>>33889479It seemed random, but the setting in the last was also terrible (dark room, with friends playing CoD next to me)Would vaping or edibles be more easier to dose? Or are edibles more of an issue, because they last longer?
>>33889494>Would vaping or edibles be more easier to dose? Or are edibles more of an issue, because they last longer?If you can get your hands on dispensary gummies, you can get an exact dose (1mg would be a light dose for me and 2mg a solid dose). But it's a double-edged sword because the quality varies between brands, which affects the high. So you'd have some trial-and-error.Dry herb vaping is pretty easy, just start with only one hit. I would avoid carts or dabs as a beginner, I barely even use them myself.
>>33889520thanks, I'll check it out.
>>33889494>Would vaping or edibles be more easier to dose?It's harder. Quit now. Hippie as an insult was mostly due to the lazy stinky aspects that are associated with weed (activism was a part, the music is fine i'm ok with psych and jamming). But think to yourself do I want to be a lazy smelly stupified bum?
>>33889494edibles are not easy to dose and take too long to kick in.I use a dry herb vape and its my preferred method. Dosing is as simple as using a pipe but keep in mind that vaping can potentially get you higher from lower doses since you don't burn away anything. Next time just start with a small dose. If you don't feel anything after ten minutes, try a little more. Repeat until you just start feeling the effects and stop there so that you can get used to feeling stoned without being overwhelmed. Then the time after that, you can experiment with getting a little higher.Also a tip, you probably panicked because your mind started racing and your thinking got all warped and weird. This is normal at higher doses and can actually be fun when you get used to it. I try to see it as part of the "show" when it happens. Just sit back and observe your mind. Don't try to forcibly take back control of your thoughts or you will definitely panic. If it does become too overwhelming you can try distracting yourself by watching a movie or a lighthearted cartoon or something. That should at least redirect your attention away from whatever thoughts triggered the panic. Remember that weed won't hurt you and that the effects will be gone in 1-2 hours and will have decreased in intensity before that too.
>>33889466For me sativas were the only thing I could smoke. Any indica would either knock me out or make me super anxious.Here we normally smoke a mix of weed and tobacco, so just lower your weed dosage and stick to sativas and you will most likely be fine.
i smoked weed for 10 years and i was never able to get rid of the paranoia and anxiety. not sure why i wasted 10 years of my life trying. but yeah, stick to low doses. a high dose certainly isn't going to help. i don't think sativa/indica makes much of a difference desu.
>>33889466I won't read stoner threads. No advice is possible.
