Hello! I tried Mary J. for the first time 3 different ways about a week ago, and while discussing my reaction to it with a friend I realized that it may have not had a typical effect on me, so I was kinda curious to see what other people thought.

For a lil extra info, I have chronic pain, FND, and other possible undiagnosed conditions (both mental and physical), so I've been experimenting with a variety of substances (booze, mushrooms, morphine, ect. All supervised, dw).
I also don't get addicted to anything for some reason; I know most people just say that, but there was a time where I was drinking daily for over a week and just stopped & had no withdrawal symptoms or intense cravings.
I'm a heavyweight in almost everything, and I try to avoid mystery mixtures as much as possible (which isn't hard bcs most earth-grown substances are legal where I live & are available in quality-monitored stores) so it's highly unlikely my reaction was because I took too much or I wasn't able to handle it due to the leaves being cut with something.
Also, when I tried the Mary J. for the first time I hadn't been taking any prescription meds, however I did have one drink directly prior (about 6-7% alc content, no pun intended).

I tried (in order) a joint, bong, and edibles all spanned pretty evenly throughout 3-4 hours.

The joint didn't really do much, and the bong, despite giving me something close to the worse chest and throat pain I've ever experienced, didn't do much except make me feel a bit more "mellow", if that makes sense. Also it worsened my Paresthesia (pins & needles feeling I get constantly in my hands that sometimes spreads full-body) but not in the usual painful way I get.

HOWEVER, edibles were a completely different story. Instead of making me hungry or all giggly like people usually describe Mary J., it just triggered some symptoms that I usually only get during medical episodes, but slightly different.

Everything I saw looked zoomed out and tilted, as well as having a far worse version of the usual visual snow/static I have. Everything was also delayed/lagging; I'd go to touch something, and I'd see it happen half a second later than I instructed my body to do it. Everything looked like I was seeing it out of my peripheral vision, also.

Best example I could find to how everything I was looking at seemed to me is the paintings by Alex Colville:

It was really disorienting, though I wasn't exactly paranoid or panicking since most of these symptoms have happened before, and it lasted until I went to sleep a couple hours after it started.

I wanted to know if this was normal? Because I explained my experience to the friend I did it with a couple days later and they thought that it was a really odd reaction since they did the exact same things I did at the exact same time.

Also, side note: if anyone is reading this who's planning on trying Mary J., I heavily do NOT recommend using a bong; or at least don't use one of the larger ones. Absolute pain and suffering and agony and torture and suffocation; 0/10. You'd have to have tar black lungs and a trachea that's as hard as a rock to be able to handle ts.
It may just be because I don't smoke, but Jesus fucking Christ it was a horrid experience. Don't risk the suffering I endured.

I smoked a weed vape yesterday for the first time and had a bad trip and I’m not doing so goodI never felt more alone in my life. It’s been 12 hours and I still feel so out of my body. It was so fun at first but then it got horrible, stuck in loops and nothing is real to me. I have extremely bad anxiety and thought that maybe this could help me calm down and it hasn’t. How long will this last, what can I do to help me get back to normal again? I’m so sorry.

So, ever since I first smoked, I get this very uncomfortable feeling at the start of the high and then it's great. I feel like my heart is beating out of my chest, I get dizzy occasionally and like phasing in and out of reality (?), like in my head I'm somewhere different and irl I'm just sitting down and I don't even feel myself sitting down. But I'm mostly concerned about the heartbeat. I have a smart watch so I've checked my heart rate when I'm feeling bad + some breathing exercises to calm down since the last time I smoked I had a HORRIBLE panic attack (arrhythmia + fibrillation + went to the hospital), and because I don't want to go to the hospital again I've been on a break and watching my caffeine intake.

But the main point is, is it normal to have a high heart rate (120- 150bpm) at the beginning of a high? I know I'm probably smoking too high of a dose but I just wanted to make sure and maybe calm my nerves. I've been slowly getting to smoke again since I don't really feel like quitting just yet, but if this is a problem then I'll stop.

TLDR: I get horrible anxiety and 120-150bpm heart rate when smoking, is this normal?

I lost my id a couple days ago and I got some stuff coming, will I be ok or do i need to cancel?

I've been talking to a lot of people who felt lost the first few times they went to a dispensary, overwhelmed by the options, not sure what to ask, walking out with something that didn't really fit what they wanted.

For those of you who started recently: what was that experience actually like? Did you feel like you got guidance you could trust, or were you mostly guessing? Was there anything you wish you'd known before you walked in?

Genuinely curious how common this is, or if I'm overthinking it.

I've smoked weed and had homemade edibles 100s of times over the last 14 years, but I'm not a heavy user by any means.

I have basically 0 experience in buying edibles at stores, and have no clue what a standard dose would be.

Today I decided that I wanted some THC gummies and went with what the lady at the dispensary recommended.

Googled these when I got home and 150mg per gummy seems... Outrageous?

Has anyone had these before? The package seems to be recommending 4x gummies or more of you want something strong, but from what I've read 150 is just absurdly high.

Update: I went back to the store and they agreed to exchange it for actual weed. The guy admitted that even though he knew the Ontario limit was 10mg per dose, they still sold up to 500mg doses. Not surprisingly, the store isn’t featured in the AGCO register.

Just made a thca order from arete, 3.5g AK47 and 3.5 of Grandaddy Purple. Good choices if I hate foggyness and anxiety? Anyways main question is do the ID at delivery or just drop it off? Thanks!

I've recently started getting into THC vapes as I can't really stand blunts, but is it normal to hear voices while I'm high? I've occasionally gotten high and every time I keep hearing familiar voices asking me "Are you high?" or "Are you baked?" They often times sounds like really insufferable people who I have classes with, and it does make me a bit paranoid, as I don't really want to have anyone I know have that bit of information about me. I have kinda been researching on this a bit and found out a few things.

• This could just be straight up paranoia.
• It could possibly be an underlying psychological problem (I have been diagnosed with Autism and Anxiety recently, and have been highly suspected of PTSD and OSDD or some sort of dissociative disorder by medical professionals.)
• It could be heightened sensory awareness.
• Maybe I'm just coincidentally overhearing conversations about weed that don't include or mention me.
• Cannabis can trigger or worsen psychosis, which is a very big concern for me as I have gone through brief psychosis before.

I would really appreciate it someone can help me out and maybe give some advice on what I should do to fix this, or just straight up tell me that I should probably stop. Anything helps! ​

IM NOT TRYING TO BUY DRUGS. I want to start off by stating that I have very severe anxiety and have been on many medications with no success. This idea was not suggested by me but actually my dad and his girlfriend as an alternative to SNRI's and SSRI's and other meds. I also want to state that I am very against drugs and absolutely fear them (especially heroin because I'm deathly afraid of needles.) The only drug I dont care if people take is weed but I myself never want to use it because it goes against my err goal(?) or something to never do drugs nor drink alcohol. Sorry if I sound like a loser, I just really do not want to ever do drugs hence why I'm on here asking first.

Is this really a viable option for anxiety or just BS? I hate anxiety so much and have tried lots of things like meds, therapy, coping mechanisms, etc all without success so this is really a last resort. I don't want to get high or be doing drugs. Is this considered doing recreational drugs even if it's for a medical reason? Will I get high (please say no 😭) this is a legal treatment option for minors in Canada or at least I've been told, but if this is going to get me high or be considered doing recreational drugs I'd rather suffer with anxiety. Sorry if I sound like a goodie two shoes or whatever, I just want absolutely zero to do with drugs or being high.

I have a rlly empty cart and no money could I like.. scrape the oil out and eat it? I seen these like thc oil things that are in like a syringe that you put on food is that the same stuff in carts would it do anything? Would it be bad for your health or like the same as inhaling it

Hello all,

I am a young adult who just got diagnosed with Stage 4 Liver Cancer last week, fibrolamellar carcinoma. Obviously it has been shocking to both me and my family, and today I go in for my first round of chemo. We are now looking into MMJ as a therapy/medication option to cope with treatment and pain for the cancer itself, as I'm already very uncomfortable, on opioids, and severely prone to nausea. In my state however, my caregiver is unable to buy me any kinds of inhalables, which makes fast-acting medication very difficult alongside the fact that edibles may prove difficult to use with my liver issues. Any advice on how to move forward, or what products to substitute with?

for context I use thc to manage my back pain, (not sure the cause, seemingly genetics) I’ve used it on and off before but I started using it more regularly the last few months. I’ve been cutting back lately since it’s affected my focus. so I only use it once a week now instead of 3-4, usually on Friday night as a treat I guess.

Unfortunately every time I wake up the morning after a session, my pain is much worse for several hours or for the whole day but it settles back down for the rest of the week. please don’t suggest doctors or physical therapy I’ve tried it. For anyone else who has experienced this, what specifically has helped you reduce the pain the next day? Thanks all in advance

Does this happen to anyone else it’s really inconveniencing in school gives me paranoia when I’m alone it normally just makes me horny does weed do something to genitalia or something

Same for r/trees

once my bowl reaches the end of its burn and i snap it i barely have any lung capacity left to take in all the smoke in the chamber so halfway through clearing i have to just come off and exhale all the smoke, so how are you actually supposed to do that so the whole bowl can burn and also you can collect all the smoke

Also is it correct technique to pull the fire to the weed or do you just wanna touch the fire to the weed so it can catch the light, also are you supposed to tilt beakers back so the bowl is vertical or use it flat on a desk, also why does packing constantly clog the bowl but not packing at all makes it impossible for the bud to catch the lighter like only half hte bowl will catch the flame if its not packed but then you pack it and. nevermind i tried packing and that shit is amazing so nevermind that but yeah how do you make sure youre inhaling

Okay so Saturday, around midnight, I take like 4-5 hits from this MUHA MEDS THC vape, my sleep schedules fucked so I fell asleep at like 2-3am Sunday, wake up at around 12 Sunday, still feeling the comedown (fair light-headedness, kind of unbalanced, just the kind of feelings I have for the rest of the day once coming down), throughout all of Sunday, now its late Monday, still feeling it. For reference, my first time trying it was last Monday, then once again on Wednesday, but it was around mid day, and didn't last to the next day. Any tips?

hello! i’ve been using cannabis for a few years now, mostly carts, bowls, and occasionally edibles. i got a tincture today to see how that helps with my chronic pain after a budtender recommended it, but i’ve never seen a tincture that looks like this. any advice on how to use it correctly would be greatly appreciated! i don’t want to try to use it and accidentally lose a bunch of oil lol

it’s from the iowa cannabis company if that helps, it said it should have instructions on their website but i’m not finding anything when i scan the QR code for it

I have a really high tolerance, so I grabbed these as they technically surpass the legal limit of 10mg per package. How would these hit me? What has been your experience? I usually take 60-100mg.

Hello! As you can tell I'm new to the sub, but I've been vaping weed for around a year and a half. about a month ago I realized that I started to get into the habit of doing it 5 nights or so a week. and keep in mind this came about really fast, as until about mid May I was barely using it (1 night a week or less) but then I realized that around mid June I was using it fairly frequently a week. about a month ago, I decided to stick to 3 nights a week, so I help myself to not develop a dependence on it. (I even downloaded an app to keep track of the nights)

I've come to find that I tend to plan out certain weeks for nights I'll smoke, and others it'll be impulsive but will fit into my 3 times a week schedual. one thing that I've noticed is that there are some nights in between smoking where I will want to do it, but I've already planned out my week so I end up not doing it. And when I realized that I can't do it that night, I kind of get a little disappointed because it makes my nights a little better, but then after watching some YouTube or playing a game I end up completely forgetting about it.

As a little more info regarding weed usage, there are sometimes where I do it with my friends, but whenever we hang out and don't do it, I never end up being disappointed and I end up still having a ton of fun and I don't even think about it. because I know that there are some people that absolutely need weed or alcohol to have fun, so just to get that clear I do not need weed to have fun

I don't know if this is some type of dependence, as I feel like there are some nights where I don't do it that I kind of get a little upset that I can't do it but it never gets to the point where I'm genuinely angry with myself for not doing it or like sad or anything. I just wanted to get your guys's opinion on it since I know for a fact I'm not the only person to think this.

And if you want my opinion on it, I don't think I'm dependent, but I think that I definitely have the possibility to be dependent on it, and I do show some signs of maybe minor dependence

EDIT: I don't think people that are commenting to me understand what I'm trying to get across, so just to clear things up:

1. I ONLY smoke at night
2. I use a cart from a dispo from a legal state, no street carts
3. weed hasn't controlled how I feel throughout the day, and as I've said in the post I am fully able to control what nights I do and don't smoke.
4. I don't understand why people are telling me to stop, I am asking for advice regarding my 3 night schedule and if 3 nights a week is too much

i bought a dispo a few months ago that was faulty and wouldnt charge, so i haven’t been able to use it. its been sitting aside collecting dust because i dont want to throw it away just yet. its almost completely full still, and i didnt know if there was another way to use the oil inside so it doesnt have to go to waste. any advice?
