Do you smoke more or less before a trip to Mokum?

[Big C]

Just wondering your thoughts on this? I was thinking of chilling out a couple of weeks before my trip to just get really high when I'm in town but I have been getting really high here at home and have been getting paranoid

So I dunno if it would be a good idea to be paranoid in the dam. I have consistently (Only recently) been getting lesser quality than I used to get from everyone I know. So stuff I would snub my nose at six months ago now get me pretty high, for the same price

So I wanna stop a lil bit before I go to Mokum but don't wanna be to high

Does any of that resonate with any of you?

I know many do take tolerance break before a trip, to get as high as possible, but i always increase before a trip to build a stamina. I love researching the menus and want to sample as much as i can, which still isnt a HUGE amount, so i like to increase my tolerance, and thus increase my tastings.

Saying that, my ability to smoke does naturally go through the roof in holland. I think its some sort of holiday state my brain goes into, excitment adrenaline or something. Same goes for drinking abroad too. Could never smoke and drink from breakfast to 1am at home, i'd be out by 4pm, but when in the dam im a machine

Also on the paranoia front, i say this. Weed doesnt cause paranoia on its own. It can heighten worries and it can make you focus on them. just being in an environment where what your doing is illegal can do this. it is so so incredibly liberating walking into a shop and legally browsing, choosing, and then smoking weed in public that the highs, especially the first few visits, are just sublime. i just never get the paranoia that i have had before when getting too high at home. Admitadly ive pulled a couple of whities when younger and found that Amnesia gives me strong heart beat and uncomfortable adrenaline, especially in the morning, but if that happens, i purchase a pastry or something, walk around quiet streets or sit by a canal and relax it out, untill im ready for a beer, then when the heads clear again, ill go find a nice tasting and stress free indica. Love it.

this time im not smoking any green, smoking polm though. after 4 months its pretty useless, but saved a few more £££.. have had a couple of bongs inbetween (7 at most) and totally lost it each time.. not ideal for a 420 trip as there will be a good chance i lose it alittle in front of everyone, on the good side there will be some good stories and pics of me on the floor. so remember to have your cameras at hand in nes

This will be my 10th trip come 420, my 9th i tried to stop smoking a week b4 i stop but broke the detox waiting for my flippin cab to the airport as i was panicing i'd miss my flight

Still got super baked with my first mokum doobie.

Id strongly recommend detoxing for a week of course if u can, b4 the goodness seduces your lungs

Sure the Windy City gets some good shipments from Cali, but you ain't getting hash... Do hash if you want to stay smoking, by still get higher in The Dam. Oh and don't forget Paradox. Da Bears suck!

Years ago I accepted that whatever paranoia I experienced when high/stoned was drug induced. I embraced the paranoia and made it my bitch.
Next, my intake of cannabis doesn't change before or after, I don't see the need.
But my intake does change during because of simple economics, commercial weed is expensive (overpriced IMHO), especially when compared to the actual cost of growing.
Something I've thought about was to detox "once in a while", clean my system and all that, but then I get stoned and forget about it.
Lastly, what are you paranoid about? It's all in your head.... get it?

That is why I prefer to hang with the T&T groups for safety . And Gapie is a great stoner herder. Plus he know the town very well.
Once you feel comfortable being stone in a land of Happy-Happy; you can wonder off on your own. In general the Dutch are very friendly. But remember Amsterdam is a melting pot. of people from Around the world.
And I do not know how Gapie does it day in day out all day,I mean every time I see Gapie he has a joint hanging around some place.

Don't worry just start slow! last week first thing I did was smoke a big J of the amnesia (I never mix J's with tobacco) and I was toasted.
I walked around until I noticed my feet were killing me (ended up with blisters)
I used to think the only tolerance I had to weed was how much my lungs could handle in a session, but since I left California, smoking multiple times everyday, to Belgium where I smoke maybe 3 times a month, I'd recommend getting your tolerance nice and high before you come. It can be a little strange when you are alone, stoned, and in a new city! Plus there is so much variety of herbs and hashes that you don't have to worry about NOT getting very high.

Ive tried a one week "detox" and it worked on the first joint in Dam...nearly knocked me on my ass....gave my paranoia....then it was back to normal tolerance next jammer.

Imho, you are wasting time and losing out on being high at home by fasting short term before a Dam trip.

However, if you do a three or four month abstinence from herb you will have the desired tolerance impact.

At the same time, its not really about how high you get, it should be about different steains and flavours. The herb in Dam is really no stronger than anywhere else....its just more freely accessible.

I had 4 days off last week, enforced due to a work trip abroad. Since I returned I've only had vapes (2 volcano bags for wake and bake and 4-6 throughout the evening). Almost whiteyed after the first one but the rest have been great. Decided to do this to give the lungs a break. The flu season has left them in need of some time off the bong.

We smoke just like another day ,except that we have to buy it in Adam
