This happened to me when I started smoking until I built up a tolerance from daily smoking. Do you smoke throughout the day or just before bed? If the latter, that *could* be why every strain makes you sleepy. If not, *shrug*

I smoke it before bed no matter what bed time is, because I fall asleep 15 minutes later.

Weed can knock you out even if it is sativa dom. Sativas just make it easier to focus. It's not the energy drink of weed, just easier to stay awake on if you're moving around a lot.

I smoke indica a lot, doesn't make me drowsy.

I dont know if I'm doing edibles right, I got a 6 pack of some sour cherry (50mg each, 300 total) gummy stuff, and it basically puts me to sleep. I mean a deep rumbling sleep, really fast.

Apparently the strength rating doesnt matter and it takes a lot of experimenting?? I need edibles that'll get me buzzed but let me stay up a bit.

I start with 5mg of edible and increase that every hour if it's not good enough

What's your tolerance like? How long does it take you to smoke, say, a quarter?

I smoke about a quarter a day. Edibles do nothing to me until we're swinging in the 100mg+ range, usually 200mg.

I'm just getting back into smoking after 10 years, smoke maybe 4 full bowls throughout the evening and stay buzzed. Of my first quarter jar I think I've gone through maybe a third in a week?

This is during a really busy week at work though, once my vacation starts I expect to burn through the supply much faster. Since I plan to stay high all day every day.

Keep smoking a little more at a time and you'll get there in a few years. Also don't take tolerance breaks. It's been 40 months since my last break.

poo poo I took 20 weed capsules and smoked 3 joints while I refinished hardwood floors today. Stain done, time for the poly!

I think it’s a tolerance thing, I won’t even operate a saw or power tools until I’ve smoked at least 3-4 bowls. Let alone sleep.

Yeah weed is a top tier insomnia aid for me too, which certainly contributes to why I consume so much. It's probably at least on par with prescription sleep aids I've tried.

It's a lot of weed, yeah. Ended yesterday at six joints. But like I said, 40 months since my last tolerance break, and I'm never taking another if I can help it.

Keep in mind I buy shake often too, because it's cheap and supplemental for joints.

It's been at least 5 years since my last tolerance break and I've been at this for 20 years and I've been steady at a gram a day for a decade or more. You are wasting a ton of weed and probably getting less high than anyone you know because of your totally unnecessary absurd tolerance

yeah i've never really done the tolerance break thing (especially in the last few years when i started growing for myself) but i think i would die if i tried to smoke a quarter a day

i'm sure doing it in joints helps but yesterday i think i maybe did ten bong rips total? and i'm sure however much that was was much less than a quarter

but hey i mean if it's basically free then do whatever

if you're in that world of growing and you know other growers 1/4 is a lot but honestly i know people who smoke that much and they pay bills and have kids and manage their life fine. i don't see the harm in it if that's what he enjoys doing. again, when you grow and you're around growers there's just weed everywhere all the time and everyone's constantly smoking because it's just a plant. it grows like crazy and probably isn't really worth $2000/lb or whatever. it's only that expensive because of prohibition and also that's rapidly dropping. my mom smokes a oz like every week and she's 70 and never been healthier.

My lungs are trash anyhow, I've been smoking cigarettes since I was 15, mostly without the filters. I'm on a list for the Iraq burn pit poo poo at the VA. I have no idea how I've made it to 37.

And it's a multi-fold issue. poo poo helps me deal with the joy of three crushed discs in lumbar region, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, plus the assist on mental health. I smoke a lot, but without it, I'd be a miserable oval office.

My lungs are used to routine abuse at this point and I know my lifespan will be shorter for it, doesn't matter much to me. I spent years working on diesels too, and that exhaust is far from healthy.

Should anyone want to challenge my lung capacity, you're welcome to come to Colorado and climb the Manitou Incline with me. We'll see who wheezes out first.

Not a vape pen. Just a dry herb vaporizer. Makes a huge difference, even as a supplement to joints.

gently caress yeah, hill climb on.

Keep in mind the elevation change is brutal and it takes a week or two to acclimate here. Last time I took a friend up, I was smoking cigarettes while he took breaks to catch his breath.

My joints are 110mm with a 1cm crutch, so they usually tally in around .8-1g depending on how fat I roll it. On a heavy day, it's a quarter. Most days it's probably, realistically, 5.5-6g a day. I also sometimes give a joint or eighth away. Last week I gave a visiting goon an eighth of that sparkly poo poo I posted in the grow thread. Just depends on my mood, and as much as I smoke, it's hard to catch me in a bad one. Broke brain army poo poo still kicks out of mellow mode fast though, the more I smoke, the less angry I tend to be. Broke a knuckle two months ago in an anger burst.

If you're smoking that much crusty, why not mostly use edibles or concentrates? I like smoking joints about the most usually, but vaping or other methods seems healthier.

Yeah I feel like I’m in a similar boat, I smoke wayyy to much. I used to primarily smoke bowls and bongs but it’s killing my lungs. Those huge coughing fits after a bong hit are pretty awful nowadays.

I’m trying to balance it out a bit with edibles but I just can’t seem to make them strong enough. Last batch I used an oz with a cup of oil and I’m still eating obnoxious amounts of it to feel anything.

I just can’t see taking a tolerance break either. There is no way I’ll just go all day without smoking if I have weed to smoke.
