38, and want to - but have A LOT of questions.

For some reason I'm really curious as to how it went, but he hasn't updated us ... maybe his shit was laced and he got a panic attack and had a seizure and ended up in a coma like all the other stories I've read here! Just kidding of course

 

1. cant really help you.
2. id get a nice spoon pipe. easy and relatively durable.
3. weed should replace your need for ambien.
4. nope. if you want to drink you want to drink. the weed wont make you drink.
5. price varies from location to location. for me it is 20 for a gram, 60 for an eighth. 110is for a qtr.

 

He's probably just too busy getting baked and loving it.

 

If anything weed will keep you from drinking, you will not relapse. I have heard of clinics wanting to do studies to show that weed can help curb drug addiction, this doesn't seem far fetched because it will still give your brain pleasure without the addiction. I think that you will be fine, just don't smoke wayyy to much when you first get into and get any bad first impressions, respect weed and use it wisely. Don't get really baked your first few times and expect to be able to do everything as if you were sober, it takes time to get used to but after that you will become accustomed to it. Who knows, maybe pretty soon you'll be the one with BAGS of it!

Good luck and I hope you have found you new drug of choice.

 

1. Ask your friend or someone you know that smokes

2. You should smoke out of a pipe or a joint. Rolling papers are very cheap and rolling joints isn't hard, plus if you don't like weed, you don't have a semi-expensive pipe laying around

3. I'm not a doctor so I can't give you a fact, but I don't think it will do anything, it will probably help with your sleep problems

4. No. That's the whole "gateway drug" theory. The only thing that will make you want to drink again when your baked is you and your choice. Hold onto that choice, + rep for dropping the alcohol

5. I'd buy a 20$ bag of weed or an 8th (3.5 grams)

 

Give us a smoke report man!

My friend, I'm in the same place you are. I haven't been in the scene for 25 years and getting back in is going to be interesting. I battled alcohol addiction and beat it and now I can take or leave the stuff. With my life as it is now, I don't need the hassle, but when I can drink I find I don't want to, it simply makes me feel like shit. I got about ten years on you and the older I get the worse the side effects of alcohol are.

It's been a rough year, though, and I need something. I dabbled with some painkillers, but that's just a slippery slope I'd rather not slide down. Then I thought, well, I've always thought that weed was probably the least dangerous substance out there, why am I not looking at that again. So I am, and I'm looking but not finding yet. I don't really know a lot of smokers in my circle of friends. If worst comes to worst, I know where the suppliers hang after dark

But what I came here to say was: know yourself. Weed is not physically addictive like alcohol or opiates but if you're an addictive personality, you can get hooked on ANYTHING that makes you feel good. Just like someone else here in this thread pointed out, you can get addicted to food, porn, tv, anything. Sounds like you're dependant on the Ambien, is it any worse being dependant on weed? I've never done Ambien, but I suspect weed is better for you. Downside: it's illegal, moreso in some areas than others. Sounds like you need to be in CA, you have a legitimate medical need.

Will it make you want to drink again? Having been there done that, I'd say probably yes, same way when I quit smoking whenever I had a cup of coffee I wanted a cigarette. You'll remember the good times smoking and drinking and you may say to yourself, "a little bit's okay." You're always going to have to guard against that as an addict of anything. Can you handle it? Only you know. I'm not trying to be negative, only to say be careful. Sounds like you're on guard, though, and that's good. Good luck to you!

To all: this is my first post here, found this place today and saw this post and had to reply. Looks like a cool place!

 

wheres the report??
how stonedddd did you get..man i wish i had no weed tolerance

 

I say give it a go. I've liked pot a lot more than I ever liked alcohol. I'm only 20, but it's definately more chill and a lot more fun. I drink in social situations still, usually around chicks (bud makes me a lot less social unless im with my stoner buddies).

also, you might not even need the ambien after you get a nice strain of some dank. It's very possible to fall asleep from a few bowl packs alone.

 

Hey man hope it was fun!

Let us know how it went when you get back on.

 

here's my 2 cents:

1) tell your friend to pick up twice what he usually does whenever he picks up. he should be happy to, you'd both end up with a bulk discount. i never pick up for myself alone, just because buying more and splitting it up helps offset the price.

2) bong. hands down. maybe a vape... but a bong first.

3) i've never heard of a problem with it, butt i'm really not sure. you might be surprised, though - i use weed to help with my sleep problem. i have restless leg syndrome and adhd, and they mix in such a way that makes sleeping a bitch. smoking weed about an hour and a half before i go to bed (though going to bed immediately would work just as well, i just don't want to waste a high ) helps to alleviate both of them at night. i quit taking my ambien because i'd much rather trust weed than some prescription chemical. that might be worth a try for you.

4) i've never heard of that. mostly i think it works the opposite way - many people will smoke anything when they're drunk. there's actually some anecdotal evidence that says weed helps recovering alcoholics and heroin users. take that for what it's worth.

5) ask your buddy to smoke you up a couple times first. he should be happy to get someone high for the first time, but if that doesn't do it for him, offer him a food-related favor (e.g. i'll buy you a sammich). start buying for yourself if you smoke once (or twice if you can - any successful experiment should have a repeatable result)... no use buying yourself weed if you don't like the high. after that, buy grams if all you do is use occasionally, like once a week or something. get bulk if you want to commit to more than a smoke a week.

 

also, i'm from chicago - an eighth of dank runs between 50 and 70 dollars. i get most of my stuff in the suburbs, so i would pay 60 for an eighth, except that i pay 190 for a half instead.

 

FTW Listen to him

 

That's great dude. But yeah, don't worry about being paranoid. Happens to most people the first time getting high for the first time, or even not smoking after a while. Is the 1/8 you're getting mids or dank? And how much are you paying?

 

Yeah you shouldn't be paying anything higher then $60 for that 1/8.

 

haha you posted ur last one at 4:20. wordd

glad to hear u found out about this wonderful plant. how much did u get your weed for? and how much did u get?

sorry to hear u got paranoide, but i used to get paranoide alot. unless you do something stupid u have to reason to be paranoide though, just dont worry about it and youll be fine. just kick back and relax

 

Nice to hear you seem to be enjoying your buzz bro...hey ron white did the same thing as you, tho his bitch ex tipped off the cops as he was flying somewhere...we all need our stress release and I find weed is the best way to release that stress. Hopefully you will get used to the weed enough to stop being parinod and just chill. Also, there are differnet types of weed meaning indica and sativa....one makes you hyper and the other couchlocks you I believe....so that might be the reason for the upbeat hyper high....anyways, I guess you can get rid of those sleeping pills now, which is a good thing.

 

Good to hear man. Enjoy your bud.
