Never felt anything like it, but it brought me back to how I was in my childhood and I could even play more video games and enjoy myself more.
Like, damn.
Just one edible, I took. Sativa. Peach-flavored. From Beyond / Hello.
Before that, I took half of an edible.
I was relaxed and my head was swimming, but I felt in control.
I had to lie down at first, though, but I wasn’t worried.
My interoception (feeling your own body) was on fire though.
Congrats!
Yeah!
Some people have a bad “first high” when they start out.
This was pretty good though.
That was me lol. It was the fault of my guide who got me wayyyyyyy too high.
Glad it went well for you. I’ll add to what others have said here about avoiding dependence.
For me watching movies can be fun on weed, but it’s not a guarantee. I have mild AuDHD and the focus boost can be interesting, but if the mix is wrong I can just end up extremely confused lol.
I LOVE workouts on weed, the increased interoception and lowered blood pressure make for wonderful cardio performance. Makes the psychological barriers to good cardio much lower.
Cannabis has a mix of chemicals which interact as Neuro transmitters so the effects can be unpredictable when compared to alcohol. Be careful with high doses!
Yeah, I have AuDHD too, along with OCD. And yeah, the focus boost is good.
Oooo, work-outs on a cannabis edible? I’ll try that, but I’m not looking to be too reliant on the edibles, like I said.

Hells to the yeah indeed.
The sad news is that this is the last time you’ll get this experience with weed, next time you get this feeling is if you try psychedelics
Perhaps, perhaps not. I’ve accepted that it won’t be the best the next time, but that’s honestly fine by me.
smoke weed every day
I’m… going to pass on that.
I don’t want to overdo it.
it’s good to forget
lol true

Maybe I will lol
Do just a little before a big Italian dinner omg
Or as a sex enhancer. Or both 🤯
Oh snap!
Man what I wouldn’t do to get that first high feeling just one more time before I die. Well, time to roll me a gorilla thumb.
gorilla thumb
Just when I think I’ve heard every term for a joint.
lmao
A break to remove tolerance can work wonders. I find the longer I’m sober the better my high is. A few weeks is okay if you smoke often, but a few months can really work wonders.
the trick is to not just do a few months tolerance break, but to then also not start smoking the same amount that you used to smoke before. start with really small doses and you’ll get a much better high without your tolerance immediately being where it was before.
Yeah good point I forgot to mention that part. I always start with a very small dose after breaks but sometimes I forget that’s not obvious. Keeping the dose small has been a struggle but I think that’s a sign I’m taking too much too often.
Yeah, not something you want to do every day and not always every week, I feel.
I wish I had ever felt that. Its only ever given me anxiety and headaches.
Might depend on what you’re injesting.
I tihnk I found the right strain and right composition.
Yeah it’s not for everyone, my brother is like that too.
First time I smoked weed was in a dirty dorm room while half-drunk on apple vodka and I couldn’t get over how I felt like I was floating. It was magical
Duuuuuuuuuude
Watch out for the edibles comrade, it’s easy to overdo it with those
Yeah, I took half at first and then went up to the full edible.
I’m not taking more than one though. Easy to get overwhelmed.
Yeah always worth taking it slow and remembering the mantra, “you can always take more but you can’t take less”
^ Weed reference.
I love that liberal weed propaganda is going strong even in the hexbear comments.
Yeah, I’m a bit suspicious, ngl
The first time I did weed was at a religious conference, lol.
Best time to do it.
Nice
Oooo
Do bunny Stalin next!
Late but here you go:
(I couldn’t find the other one sorry)
This was an edible, but thanks.
It’s pretty great, honestly. Simply trying it shows you how completely fucked the war on drugs has been.
Definitely be cautious about over-doing it, but have fun! It’s an incredible enhancer to experiences, but can make you very ok with being unproductive and lazy.Everyone should be okay with being unproductive and lazy as it is our default state. Capitalists have tricked us into thinking we have to be productive so they can exploit that productivity for profit. Lying in bed all day and eating snacks is praxis.
Everyone deserves a few lying in bed all day days a month just because that’s a pleasure we’re entitled to as people. I’ve found even that can be “productive” when it’s purposeful rest and relaxation. Finding yourself getting out of bed at 1pm (or whatever time that is relative to your schedule) just because you can’t stand the taste of your own breath anymore probably isn’t that.
Breakneck speed and efficiency in anything can cause the same tunnel vision driving does https://www.emesa-m30.com/tunnel-effect-car/
Don’t get me wrong, I love chilling out and being lazy, but I don’t think I totally agree: I don’t think work is inherently bad. It’s bad under capitalism because we’re exploited and alienated, but under communism I think it will actually be fulfilling and meaningful.
Yeah, I’m not anti-work either.
nah, that just isn’t true. allowing your body to regenerate and being lazy are of course just things human beings need to do, and there’s obviously nothing wrong with using substances to help with that, but doing nothing but being high and lazy as your default state just numbs you to the state of the world, which is exactly the opposite of what being a communist is all about really.
Idk, my depression gets a lot worse when I just veg. I’m not saying be productive for your capitalist overloads, but being productive for myself is really important. Reading, learning, helping people, building things, all make me happy to live my life.
So. Much. This.
I think this is just me using the word “productive” literally and others using it to mean…something else? Idk I’m autistic and it’s hard to communicate sometimes. Lying in bed and reading a book is not typically what someone means when they say “be productive” in my own experience. In fact, I’ve been called lazy for doing that exact thing many, many times.
The dictionary definition is actually quite positive, in contrast to what you and I’m sure many people associate with it. According to Cambridge, “resulting in or providing a large amount or supply of something” or “having positive results”. If that’s applied to your passions and goals, then I think that’s not a bad aspiration.
Yeah, productivity isn’t bad per se; doing it for yourself and maybe for others is the best way, I feel.
Doing it for capitalism or for alienating work? Nah.
Work is… good. Your labor is good. But under capitalism, we’re alienated from our labor.
nah having goals and dreams and working to accomplish them is good actually
Is that what being productive means?
yeah true it isn’t really a term I like due to its heavy capitalist-striver-burnout-culture connotations
Yeah, that’s what we’re trying to avoid.
I’m not anti-work. I’m just not.
I believe that one should be in tune and un-alienated from their own labor.
Steal the word back.
Yes, which is why I said that it’s fine to be unproductive and lazy. Because associating productivity with having goals and being fucking happy is capitalist propaganda.
Oh true
It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment.
Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.

That’s what I was thinking!
It didn’t even feel addictive, I could tell. And my mind was more clear as well.
It’s chill and can even be really fun the first few times, nothing quite like laughing uncontrollably. Just don’t do it too much.
Personally I love indica which I think puts me in a minority but I love the feeling of being couch locked. It’s so relaxing.
Do mushrooms next, they’re amazing. But you’ve gotta be somewhere safe with friends and in a good head space
Also, where can I get shrooms?
I won’t try them though, tbh. I think cannabis is enough for me.
You either gotta know a guy, or you can try checking out the DNM. Psilocybin isn’t exactly legal. Growing it yourself is also an option, but that takes a while.
Or you could go with amanita mushrooms, which are legal, but they aren’t quite the same.
Fly agaric to be specific don’t go around looking for amanitas to eat that’s a good way to die
Find your local Grateful Dead cover band or other hippie adjacent band. Someone there will know where to get them. Otherwise, growing is pretty easy.
Oho
Yeah, I didn’t laugh uncontrollably this time; I just took one edible and felt really relaxed and had a lot of clarity and even wanted to do more fun things (whereas I’m always geared toward reading).
The couple times I’ve done indica there was immediately after some unforeseen emergency I had to attend to with people yelling at me, so they’re mentally tied to being very frustrated and angry for me now
Somehow the universe knows exactly when I’m in a vulnerable state and chooses that moment to strike.
Music was amazing though. I got into a couple new genres that day
I remember my first time so clearly, it was incredible.
depression/sh
A mandatory reporter had just told my parents about my sh and they weren’t taking it well. (they eventually came around though). I had been horribly depressed. I tell one of my friends about the situation and we go out to his truck. My god only a few puffs and I was so fucking happy. It felt like the best experience of my entire life. The depression, gone. Replaced with a child like feeling. Everything was so good. Food tasted good again. It was an incredible change from low to high.
I’m doing better now
But yes, weed is amazing. Big fan. I know what you mean by the head swimming, I really like that.
Yeah, my interoception honestly got better. It was amazing. But I felt steady and in control.
This was yesterday evening, btw.
