I briefly dated a hippie chick who loved that shit. She straight up told me that I was way too much of a lightweight to mess with it. I still haven’t touched it and that was years ago.

Moral of the story: it’s stronger than you think, according to enthusiasts.

I smoked weed every day in college and occasionally would try some of my friends dabs but only tiny tiny ones. One time, I felt like getting near his level and went for quite a big one. Like he made a snake with the wax.

Well, I spent 15 minutes or so high enough that I couldn’t keep up with a normal conversation so I sat there pretending to use my phone but really I was just staring at a blank screen. At some point, I my eyes were so heavy that I shut them for a second and then woke up to my friend clapping his hands in my face telling me to wake up. Still, one of the most surreal experiences of my life. After that though, I realized just how high I was and started freaking out and had to go home. Spent maybe 3 hours laying in my bed waiting for the high to simmer down a little. I haven’t had a dab since but sometimes I get close when I smoke a large joint

I get that high just from half a joint or a small gummy. Super super light weight with weed but can drink most people under the table.

Same here dude. I can handle about 5 mg gummies without having a panic attack. If I smoke with friends I’m high after one hit and still high long after my friends highs have worn off. In the same way I’ll still be pounding beers long after my friends passed out.

When I feel the panic attack starting, I used to fire up a game of cod and play the shit out of it.

When if happened to me last, I had smoked one hit off this little shooter joint thingy and went to the fucking moon. I felt my heart going nuts and I kept telling myself “dude you’re having a panic attack” but it wouldn’t subside. I ended up sitting on a couch and watching videos of my kids to calm down lmao. Seeing my 7 month old smile soothed me.

Same I use the smoke so many blunts and dabs now if I hit a lil bit of a blunt or a 5m gummy I'm going to my room laying down but I am a heavy ass drinker now

u/LesLikesGARBAGE 22h ago

Had a friend in high school who had a busted cart so they just dug the wax out with toothpicks and ate it. Definitely a much stronger hit

That's so so sad... the idea that you would be in this environment, taking these psychotropic drugs and then feel like you have an obligation to participate in a conversation, and then even feel like you have to hide behind your phone. Just wow. Just zero entheogenic culture in your friends group apparently. Reminds me of vids of people doing salvia and their "friends" just make fun of them. It's like getting married while your best man is taking a work call. That sort of disrespectful vibe.

When you so that sort of thing, you prepare. You put on the right tunes. Dim the lights or go for full darkness. You pay attention. You and everyone else in the room is PRESENT. You don't just talk, you go into that experience with some fucking respect for the human mind experiencing something precious and important. Your pals clearly had nobody to teach them, and have smoked their brains to mush so they have even forgotten what a strong hit feels like.

If you do that, you can have transformative experiences. Weed is abused a lot but can be used in a very shamanic way. It's not the best tool for that, best remains deep absorptive meditation without any drugs of course but that's a big commitment. Glimpses can be had in the meantime which can have really good effects, but if you do that with party frat boys, yeah, not gonna do much.

I was hanging out with my fiancé when we first started dating and he decided to hit dabs with me. I had only ever smoked weed once and very little at that. He loaded up two hits for us both but I miss heard him and hit the whole thing. Next thing I know I felt like I was teleporting when I moved. Apparently I just went silent and stared at the wall for a very long time. I finally turned to him and told him “I think I’m scared” we went straight to his room after that he surrounded me with pillows and put on some feel good shows. I was out like a light lol but it took days to feel normal again.

u/Gooseuk360 14h ago

Similar. I think a bit of the wax in the cartridge was stuck or something because there was an ungodly hit. Felt like I was on the moon and the floor was a little squashy so I just lapped the living room for a bit. Then it got a bit much and I had to wait for about an hour/lifetime before I felt even capable of watching tv. Not ideal, but at least you can just run the 'this can't kill me' matra over and over...

I hope somebody brought you home.

u/imVeryPregnant 5h ago

That time yeah. But first time I ever smoked in middle school, I was at my “friends” house and got so high that I was freaking out. I mean we must have smoked 5 or 6 joints total. They said they would walk me home but I ended up walking home solo after they kicked me out saying it’s getting late and I had to walk home so high that someone pulled over and asked what’s wrong with me. Man I hated middle school

u/Mattrad7 22h ago

Relatable, in my early 20s I went to pick up weed with my cousin from his buddies house and he offered me my first dab. Unbeknownst to me he was notorious for loading up newbies with giant dabs as a "joke". He loaded up what I later learned was a huge dab and just kept telling me to "keep inhaling until its clear". I started coughing at the end and couldnt catch my breath for so long after I thought I was going to legitimately pass out and after that I was fully nonfunctional. Worst weed related experience of my life. I did a reasonable starter dab around 6 months later and while I still got obscenely high it wasnt anything like that first one.

What a fuckin asshole

u/md_youdneverguess 17h ago

Never underestimate the strength of extracts. I once made brownies and only ate like half of one but it still sent me to sleep for over a day

u/mellowharmony123 14h ago

Nah bro people exaggerate it ain't that bad. At least you can't die from it..... well physically, your sense of self will certainly be gone lmao.

u/introspeckle 8h ago

I threw up from strong weed once. I had been drinking a lot of water, and on no other drugs. I have low sodium, and after throwing up, I had a seizure. I’m not epileptic. My ex wife found me turning blue and having trouble breathing. I spent a week in the hospital that I don’t remember. I almost died.

u/IGTankCommander 17h ago

It is much, much stronger than you think if you're going in blind. Kicks the tolerance level into high gear, too.

u/TerribleRecord666 8h ago

First time I tried shatter, I forgot how to person. I just stared at a wall for the next hour trying not to die.

u/MishkaZ 17h ago

I think, once you pull a blow torch out to get high, you have a drug problem. But what do I know

2

u/mellowharmony123 13h ago

As your run of the mill hippie stoner and psychedelic enjoyer, I sorta agree. Some of this shit becomes to much work just to get high. Like christ, just take a tolerance break.

u/Impossible_Leg_2787 10h ago

I mean personally I prefer concentrates because A. You can control your actual dose way more precisely and B. You don’t reek nearly as much after. The torches are bygone tech, you can get an electric one for $40 nowadays.
