Why the hell do dabs not get me high

Discussion in 'Marijuana Consumption Q&A' started by Mathis Yahu, Jun 9, 2015.

  1. First off hey everybody, new to grasscity and really glad I joined. So just some background. I have been smoking since 8th grade and have now graduated high school. I took about a two year long break in high school because my school started drug testing and I played football so had to stop. But since December of last year I have smoked everyday and just recently started to use concentrates. The first time I used oil was with the oil coated on the top of bowls and it got me pretty dampened stoned so I decided to purchase my rig. Me and my friends have now used the rig a few times and I am the only person not getting super baked, not only that I don't get high at all. Any help is appreciated.
    P.s. flowers and kief still get me high

    Forget to inhale?
     
  3. Take a deep ass breath after your hit and make sure it gets to your lungs, hold it in for like 3 seconds and exhale, if your friends are getting baked and you aren't then you're clearly doing something very wrong so just try this.^
     
  4. idk. my mom has been growing and smoking prime flowers for 30 years, and insists that she has never been high from a dab.
     
  5. Concentrate or poup soup? Post a pic of your concentrates? It's bullshit you don't get high, it's not the same high as flowers. You probably are taking the "dab thing literally and putting 0.0000001 grams. Hahah if I gave you a dab you would be on your ass sweating, struggling for air.

    Not possible for them not to get you high if what you posted is true.

  6. Pics or gtfo
     
  7. Tolerable misery is only because you don't have the money to support your habit. But really tolerance is about the ratio of effect to efficacy of user. Don't be a drug user if you just want to smoke weed.
     
  8. Bull shiiiit. She's doing it wrong. Some are immune to edibles though
     
  9. yea, we been growing since before meical was even legal in cali but we're "doing it wrong", thanks for the pro tip.
     
  10. Never claimed you were inexperienced, it just seems very odd considering nobody on gc has ever had a problem like this. You said you do get high when you top off a bowl with it? Well in that sense, getting a nail red hot for a dab would prove combustion in the same way that lighting a bowl of it would. Either your oil is defective, or you're doing something wrong. Lose the sarcasm and try being a little less vague if you want some help, pal.
     
  11. i dont want help. what i originally said was that my mom claims not to gain a psychoactive effect from dabbable concentrates, which was simply letting the OP know that he is not an isolated mystery.
    your arrogance is astounding. "your oil is defective" right.

    Oh my goodness, I said your oil being defective could be a possibility because nowadays the majority of concentrates are made incorrectly, that's not arrogance, that's an assumption based on reality. Sorry I had mistaken you for the OP.


    It seems to me that you would like to say "that's just the way it is" and move on. I can tell you'll do great here at grasscity. (by the way, insults aren't tolerated here too well)
     
  13. Because when you dab you are vaporizing the oil. You're not smoking it like you would a bong. The THC content is of course higher in dabs but the underlying method is still vaporization. Also with oil/dabs you aren't getting as much of the other cannabinoids like when you hit just straight flowers. Some people , like me , don't like just pure THC (and lack of cannabinoids) along with vaporizing. This is why the high isn't the same as when you hit a bong. Vapes produce a cleaner high and I don't like that. I would get pretty high but it just wasn't the type of high I wanted.


    I have debated this on here so many times so I won't get into it. But just take a few minutes and do some research on the differences between smoking and vaping.
     
  14. Dude I don't think dabs really get you that high Ive smoked giant globs of dabs and like many hits at a time Ive been Ben done like a long sheet of dabs and I don't get high. I cough like hell and get it deep in my lungs but I'm still always chilling I maybe only get a little wavy. But a blunt gets me high right away but I still smoked more cause I can always get higher . Btw I'm a girl and although I'm tall I don't weigh a lot so I don't think that's the issue either.
     
  15. Or maybe you shouldn't speak like a know it all it's annoying when people constantly say you are smoking it wrong. I have smoked in front of many people too and every time we smoke dabs I take huge hits get it into my lungs cough the whole Shabbat, but I just never get that high. Ive gotten local shit dispensary shit, cali shit it just doesn't work. It is at least reasonable to say that it doesn't effect all people as intensely. But I can get stoned from regular bud. Also when I smoke dabs I smoke A LOT of dabs and do not get high, and I'm not a dab smoker its once in a while and even so I smoke amounts that should knock people out and I barely feel high...
     
  16. Oil isn't weed. Plain and simple.

    Do drugs; smoke weed.
     
  17. LOL. Dampened stoned lol. I want to expierience "dampened". Do you break out in a sweat because of the dab?

    Anyway, I'd suggest you ask about the THC content. Some concentrates are used from trim, which has a low THC value. Smoking flowers hits you the hardest and fastest. (IMO). That may not be true for everyone.

    The first time I dabbed shatter was from some 85% THC. I was only supposed to take 1 hit, but I took about 5 and then greened out. All my friends were making fun of me saying "first dab everrrrrr!"
     
  18. How can you get vapor from a red hot nail?
