Woo! Such advances in science! I bet they'll prove that 100% of texters are complete and utter ****ing dickheads next.

MJ is such a magical plant, if it really is as wonderfully harmless as we all think, why don't they legalise it (the government being dickheads is not the answer to this question)?

You know that lady who made Canabis cakes? Well shes appealing to legalise MJ For cake baking purposes i think and for Smoking It... You never know, It might work.

Sorry to double post but i need to bump this up for one reason. Apparently if the people in the UK vote for the Lib Dems they will legalize home grown weed! :D

Once again sorry for the double post :(

The first link is fine but the second one is a bit misleading. The type of experience you get during a high depends entirely on the strain of the plant that you're smoking. For instance a c99 strain cannabis sativa will give you a heady, "up, energetic" high, whereas a big bud strain cannabis indica will give you a body, "couchlock", lazy stone.

If you smoke a tiny quantity, you'll get a mini euphoric feeling, you'll just feel slightly happier and brighter. If you smoke a big amount, you'll get hit by the full force of the plant, and get a more full on strain-specific high. You'll either get full on head, full on body, or balanced head and body stone.

If you eat uncured bud, you'll get blasted. It'll just annihilate you. Especially if it's good shit. It'll be an altogether different kind of high or stone than what you'll get when you cure it and smoke it.

So how your experience goes is dependant on a number of factors:

-"Strain/breed/variety" of plant, and species of plant (sativa or indica).
-How much weed you take.
-How you take it (eating, bonging, smoking, vapourising, eating uncured).
-How long you've been doing weed.
-The conditions the plant grew in.
-The way your body reacts to it.

As you can see, there are a number of variables that you can control to tailor your experience to fit your personal preferences. Not everybody likes a certain type of high. Some people like more of an energetic, up, chatty high, while others like a more stoned, body couchlock type of high. Tailoring your high is what makes MJ a hobby rather than just a drug. If you don't make any attempt to tailor it, then you're not really experiencing the full potential of the plant.

Personally, I grow my own so that I can tailor my high's to be energetic heady highs. I find that couchlock body highs usually make me feel sick if they're too potent. But also I like the luck of the draw, and the randomness of the smoke that you get from smoking a friend's weed. You never know who they bought it from, or what type of plant it came from.

Hope people found this useful. Took me ages to type it. :D

Most experiences say most of those, apart from the conditions the plant grew in. For example, this one has how much weed they took, how they took it, how long they've been doing it and how their body reacts to it. They also have their body weight, which also affects how much weed gives them a good high. The reason being, big guys or girls bodies take longer to absorb the THC.

That's just a myth.

Because THC enters the body through smoke in the lungs, it gets into the bloodstream nearly straight away - the longer you hold it in, the more you get in the blood. Bigger people do not actually physically find themselves being affected any sooner or later than anyone else who smokes weed.

Also, I have found that most of those stories are probably just made up. A lot of them talk of very delayed affects from smoking MJ... for instance not even feeling a thing until half an hour later... but in reality the affects kick in almost straight after you've finished smoking it. Here's a basic rundown of what happens, in order of when it happens:

- You smoke your blunt, this takes about 5 minutes, and you'll begin to notice that it's having a slight affect.

- After smoking, you'll notice a slight "whoooaa... feeling a little wierd" kind of mild dizziness. Especially as you're walking. If the stuff you're smoking normally gives an energetic high, then at this point you will notice that you're more socially lubricated and chatty.

- After about 5 minutes of this, the stone will kick in. Depending on the plant, this will either be couchlock, energetic, or couchlock sociable.

- In a body couchlock stone, you'll feel like your legs have turned to jelly, like you're having panic attack, you'll have no energy, and feel like shit when you try to get up and walk around - you'll be relaxed, dozy, and feel good when you're sitting down - afterwards you'll feel very sleepy.

- In an up, energetic high, you'll feel really happy, chatty, and sociable - you'll be totally carefree and have loads of energy all of a sudden, if there's music then you'll have a heightened appreciation of it - afterwards you might feel a bit tired, or you'll just gradually go back to your normal self. All of this lasts for between 30 minutes to an hour and 30 minutes.

- Towards the end and after the stone, your mouth will go dry, and you may get the munchies. You'll certainly have a desire to drink plenty of cocacola. If you get the munchies and have something to eat, you'll probably avoid the sleepy feeling that you normally get after being stoned.

Surely that's only if you're talented enough to hold the phone to your head while texting. Myself, I only reserve that for phone calls.

Using a mobile phone is a bit like putting your ear against a microwave door while it's operating at full blast and keeping it there for 5 to 10 minutes.

Given a choice between that and smoking a blunt for 5 to 10 minutes, I think I'd rather smoke a blunt. It's less risk to my health, does more for me, doesn't cost so damn much to use, and doesn't scream "steal me steal me steal me!" whenever it's on public display.
