Can't Feel Effects At All

[notbakedenough]

Ok, heres the scoop. Not too long ago I posted a thread about my mom wanting to try cannabis to help her with insomnia. Well the other day she obtained some hash and smoked a ball of it in a cigarette. She felt absoloutly nothing apart from slight dizzyness for about five minutes. She has smoked it before (around 6 times but these were a few decades ago) and never gotten high.

Is this at all common for someone to not be able to get high?
What explanation could there be?

[Horus XCIII]

Not inhaling properly is probably the most likely candidate. Tell her to suck in a breath of air after drawing the smoke in, that's the best way to explain it. Or she could be smoking shitty hash, or she could have a naturally high tolerance.

Try making some edibles, then she's guranteed to get high, and can always boost if she doesn't feel anything (but wait at least 2 hours they're slow to kick in).

Hash has many grades, from bubble hash to mud. The process of making hash essentially removes the resin from the MJ. The compacted resin is hash. I think she got some bogus hash - the mud hash which has little power to get you high.

ok well first, the quality of the hash is not the issue here, because it came from a VERY reliable source. She got it from a close friend, who got it from their dealer. They smoke the same hash and get blown away.

I have suggested making some food, and we're going to do some bakeing some day this week. Any good small scale recipes that are recommended (apart from stuff like fire crackers) would be quite helpful.

And finally, I also believe that she has a naturally high tolerance, as most pills and medications she took beforehand to help her sleep, had very mild effects if any at all.

Thanks for the input guys.

ok. this is where you need to realize that cigarette filters = trap THC. your mom was hardly agetting any of the THC at all. tear them filters off *****

[notbakedenough]

My mistake, I forgot to mention that she rolls her own and doesn't use filters. ...So that clears up that.

try http://recipes.marijuana.com/ some pretty good recepes covering many types of foods. For smoking maybe a better technique. What you need to do is take a hit, then breathe in a little air. ( this will move any smoke from mouth into the lungs) Maybe you have already done this... then all I would know to do is try a different device, try a bong, pipe, bubbler, gravity bong, or a vaporizer. I'd say if the issue was tolerence level then a vaporizer would be best followed by a gravity bong if you don't want to spend alot. If none of this works you might have to do some research or something else I don't know. I hope this helped a little, but yeah trying to cook some would be a good way, just make sure you use enough as you need more for comsumption. Goodluck man.

I highly doubt cig filters remove the thc from smoke. I've stuffed weed in my cig before when I was a beginner smoker and I can recall it getting me quite high.

To the op of this thread, why don't you try something different rather than putting a ball of hash on the end of a cig? Why don't you just get a gram of dank weed off that dealer, roll a blunt, and have her smoke the whole thing? If she tells you shes not high after that either shes lying to you, or the dealer just sold you lawn grass.

he never said it trapped all of it.

i'm positive it takes some of it out... i mean, afterall - it is a 'filter'

Cannabinoid receptors are NOT created equally, you're right about the high tolerance. Some of us do need more, it sounds like the cigarette is the problem...Nicotine is a STIMULANT! Why are you dosing a medicine combined with an antidote? Would you take a cup of coffee and put your sleeping pill in it?

Try some high quality edibles, or a strong tincture, dosing orally is definitely a better relaxant!

[Horus XCIII]

Nicotine is a stimulant but pot isn't a depressant. Smoking tobacco always boosts the high.

I smoke cigarettes when I'm high and they get me more fucked up, not less. If anything the cigarette would help her feel it. Just because they do different things, doesn't mean that they can't still give you a high at the same time.

Pot is a depressant, it slows down the electrical impulses of the central nervous system. That's what makes it a depressant. But like I said before, you can mix depressants and stimulants and still feel both.

Some guy in a court ordered class I took tried to tell me that pot was a stimulant because it accelerated your heart beat. Man that class was a waste of time

Actually, the nicotinic receptors in the brain tend to increase activity when stimulated, which is one reason you think that you are higher, when in fact its merely oxygen deprivation. The cannabinoid receptors are different for everyone, so it's necessary to determine which drug is doing what...this thread is about medical application, not just "trying to get buzzed"

To effectively relax, try first to cut out all unnecessary stimulants, and use the drug pure...The beneficial effects may also take time to manifest themselves, so be patient, once again, tolerances vary greatly! Happy Medicating!

Make some tea with 1.5g or more of some dank, if you make it correctly and she drinks it on an empty stomach I guarantee she'll feel it.
Here's the recipe:
