Does smoking cannabis work like this?

[Taylor]

So I've always had this idea in my head and wanted to see if it was anything vaguely correct?


+0.00 - First toke on joint 20% thc

+7.00 - Start to feel effects. 20% high

+15.00 - Finish joint. 40% high

+20.00 - Take sip of sugary drink -15% = 25%

+35.00 - Bong hit 25% thc = 40%

+37.00 - Milky bong rips. 60%

+40.00 - Eat chocolate bar - 20%

+50.00 - Bong rips x15 80%.

My question basically is, when you smoke and get to a high point then eat a chocolate bar, does it go down a little and then have to take another toke to get back to where you were before the chocolate bar, can you also get up to that point, let it subside to almost nothing then get totally baked within the next hour?

I never paid any heed to the eating sweets makes you less high. Never worked for me when I needed it to

[geekymonkey]

Eating sweets will not make you "less high".

Processing thc uses glucose, so if you are smoking a lot you can cause your blood-sugar to plummet, thus causing a "whitey".

That is not a reversible cycle. It is NOT the case that glucose in your blood runs around sponging up the thc.

Good question?
I've always believed that it only takes three licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop... others may differ.

Eating sugary snacks definitely makes me feel less stoned. Your blood sugar levels drop all the time while high not just when you whitey. A whitey is just the extreme of this so why wouldn't eating sugar when somewhat stoned not have the same effect as eating sugar when having a whitey? Obviously it would be less noticeable but your body doesn't decide to process sugar differently all of a sudden because your too high.

If I'm wrong then I'll gladly be corrected. I'm in no way a scientist

If you interpret the sensations of having low blood sugar as feeling "stoned" then raising your blood sugar will make you feel less stoned. That's not the same thing as processing the thc faster, so it depends on what you mean by "less stoned".

I find that if I'm eating normally (my normal diet is healthy, and full of fat and protein, no processed food or sugar) smoking weed (even a lot, all day) does not cause my blood sugar to drop precariously, or particularly noticeably. My body doesn't have any problem "keeping up" with the amount of glucose it's using to process the thc. So I don't associate feeling of low blood sugar with feelings of being stoned. That's something different that happens if I forget to eat while smoking heavily.

So, like everything else in stoner land, ymmv.

Keep rolling, my party peoples.

Jeez .With the greatest respect , you really need to find something more constructive to do with your time.

Sugary stuff only helps to pull you back from the edge when you're whiteying... Doesnt seem to affect your high as such.

Like your most constructive reply.

Well geeky, I have a very VERY sweet tooth so that may be partly the reason I feel a greater difference than you and others. Maybe I'm unknowingly on a massive sugar buzz and when I smoke I lose that sensation. Eating sugary foods then brings back that feeling giving me a placebo effect of being less stoned. Just a theory. I don't feel wired or anything at all, I'm such a chill person. When I say I feel less stoned I guess I mean more functional but in no way normal.

The more I think about it the more I realise it's probably the fact that I'm a sugar addict, and the 'less stoned' feeling is me satisfying cravings. I mean, I guess I always knew that eating a whole packet of chocolate fingers half hour before dinner isn't the done thing

I never really knew how smoking weed effected us apart from our receptor in our brain. Just wondered as I've never actually talked about it before.

Me neither, and I've been smoking for nearly 30 years.

I remember suffering a whitey at Abraxas once, or something pretty close to it. I was by myself there one afternoon, upstairs in the lounge section after walking around a good part of the city one day. I had walked from the hotel near the Museumplein to the Hermitage, then from the Hermitage to the Amsterdam City Museum. For some foolish reason, I hadn't considered the trams on this day as I had never used them before. And I didn't smoke at all before visiting these two wonderful museums lest I forget everything I saw. Needless to say, by the time I got to Abraxas, which is around the corner from the Amsterdam City Museum, I was really exhausted, hadn't had much to eat other than a light breakfast, and was smoking away when it hit me really hard. It must have been 3 or 4 PM when I started to smoke. There was a French couple next to me on one side who seemed annoyed at my presence there, and a German couple on the other side of me who kept trying to engage me in conversation, but I was starting to lose control. At one point, I was head tripping trying so hard trying to figure out what language they were each speaking, and because I was so out of it, my brain could trick me into thinking they were speaking Mandarin or some non-Western language (they later told me they were French & German). I was afraid to leave and walk away from it all, for fear of falling down that narrow stairway. Finally I did manage to exit the premises safely, and walked around lost in the city for a good two to three hours before finally getting back to the hotel near the Van Gogh Museum. But the whole experience was weird as hell. Don't think I've ever been that paranoid in 30 years of potsmoking. Lesson learned. Eat more food, particularly if starting out the trip with a low tolerance level! Some of us are very slow learners. The rest of the week-long visit to Amsterdam was lovely--just not that afternoon.
P.S. Oh, and this was a pre-rolled pure haze joint that I couldn't even finish

I've only ever done one whitey (I assume that's what it was - it was certainly close enough to a whitey to be fucken frightening anyway) - it really isnt funny is it? I was terrified and thought I was gonna die. I got very close to losing my cool entirely and asking my pal to call for an ambulance I just about managed to hold it together and after a lie down for 20 mins I recovered enough composure to fuck off home. Never again have I smoked a joint I didnt personally skin up - I wanna know exactly how much is in there before I chong it hard.

[amstajunkie]

I always get a little paranoid when smoking. I think it stems from my inner guilt that I am doing something wrong. I work in a position that if anyone found out it would be career ending and life changing for me, so much so that I feel guilt about even revealing my career on here. So it isnt something I do very often anymore naturally. Someday I will retire and finally be free . Anyway when ever I am in Amsterdam, the extremely potent marijuana coupled with my low tolerance causes me to hear people saying my name a lot. This is particular unnerving when walking down the street.

So your name is 'Cocaine?'
