What do you prefer- getting high or drunk?

[mnewsham]

Pot is for teenagers, alcohol is for adults.

Guess we should tell those damn cancer patients to stop being so bitchy and become adults.

Dayum, neck-to-neck poll result. I'm proud of myself.

I thought your typical internet nerds would all vote for pot.

really? Seems to me the edge should automatically be given to the substance that is socially accepted and is legal under the law, fairly obviously that should win hands down.

 

[Saint Nick]

Mmm...bubblicious

Well at least if they switched to alcohol the anti cancer medications might save their livers from going down as well.

 

[evanesce]

I just think the stuff should be legalized!

Assuming typical internet nerds have contacts/friends in real life capable of hooking them up.

 

[Dumac]

Neither. I like being lucid.

i think you underestimate how easy it is to get weed in most places

I don't have the slightest clue.

I find getting high extremely stressful. It tends to bring out OCD like behavior that I guess I normally suppress, so I end up counting things in endless loops, making things symmetrical, etc. The last time I got high I thought I was going to go insane. I dont remember that happening when I was in high school/college, but the few times I have done it since has been stressful enough to put me off weed.

And alcohol only tastes good to me when I'm drunk, so its hard to get to that point. Such a light weight in my old age. Even having a cigarette after not smoking for awhile gives me a buzz.

How about just a buzz off weed instead of high? I find that far less stressful and more relaxing!

I'm not one of those "just one chip" kind of people, its all or nothing. A couple of hits seem fine, then I keep going and going, and the crazy just drops like a hammer. Better to stay away.

That's what most people I know who don't like getting high do, they try it, but when they try it they take WAY more than is suggested because "it doesnt do much for me" then they get way to high and say they dont really like smoking pot, well no shit

Not saying this is what you are doing as I have never smoked with you, but I have had 3-4 people do this in front of me and I just kinda look at them like they are idiots and continue on my way.

lol Well, I once got high and forgot I was supposed to update a some backend software that night, and when I did I messed everything up. Stayed up for 36 hours straight fixing everything. So I stopped weed for a long time..like 5 years. I basically reverted to a newb state, but the few times I have tried since then, I smoked like they were cigarettes. I have learned not to trust myself to do things in moderation, so I just avoid it altogether.

Yeah if that's how it is and you can't help yourself, best just to avoid it all together, or smoke so much you get a high tolerance

mmm yep.

Oh wow, you actually NAILED it. This is what I forgot to mention.

Weed's forgetfulness puts my innate OCD into overdrive. Yup, I keep doing crap in endless loop no matter how much I tell myself to relax and I'm just under the influence.

It's like my sanity is trapped inside a shell of a high body. I scream for help inside yet I can't help myself doing same crap over and over.

Last time I smoked, I happened to shake my head once. But then I asked myself 'did I shake my head because I'm high or did I really need to do it?'. So I shook my head again to confirm. But this time I gotta check again. So I shook my head again. Did I just shake my head? I have to shake it once more just to confirm. So I shake my head.

My friend recorded me while this was happening. I was uncontrollably shaking my head endlessly despite wanting to stop inside my head. How the hell does weed supposed to make you 'relax'? I was absolutely miserable. Fvck this paranoia.

Weed is just not for me.

there are meds that treat your kind of insanity

It's the weed. I've only smoked it 4 times in my life. This craziness happened in last 2 times.

I'm not even OCD.

It's all about your state of mind when going into it, if you go in expecting to be paranoid, guess what you're gonna be feeling? Paranoia.

For anyone who has never been high but wants to i recommend;
a relaxing environment(living room or bedroom if possible), nothing scary, make sure you wont run into police or authority figures (big cause of paranoia), put on some music, and preferably have a good friend who you trust implicitly, drink water, do NOT smoke too much, 2-3 hits will usually get me a decent high for 90 minutes, and I smoke every day.

That's the thing. Why should someone have to 'try' to relax in order to enjoy weed? Drinking feels good no matter what- you are happier if started in a good mood. Stress in life? Drinking unwinds you (hence the world drinking after work).

Strangely enough, the most enjoyable high was my first time (your first time isn't supposed to work). I was very relaxed and enjoying the crazy sensations.

That's not the case, I simply recommend that for the beginners, once you are comfortable being high, and have some experience you can enjoy it anywhere for the most part. Its when you are starting out that it's crucial to form the connection of relaxation with smoking.

You're kidding right? so many angry drunks. I mean, have you watched K-TOWN? do those guys look unwound!? lol

Maybe the strain didn't agree with me?

It was Grapefruit Kush. But then, that's a hybrid.
