I’ve smoked exactly one joint in my life. I don’t think I got high at all and didn’t enjoy the experience. But I’m curious to know what folks find enjoyable about it. Does it just chill you out? Does it make you feel like you don’t have a care in the world? I don’t think I’d ever try smoking one again but idk I’d maybe try edibles in a vegan brownie or something.

It temporarily reduces my chronic physical pains as well as my anxiety. Also when I’m high I feel like I’m super focused on media so it makes watching movies more fun

Not feeling anything the first time is pretty typical. I didn’t feel anything the first few times either. Once I did, it was pretty intense. These days it’s much milder, mostly just a sort of relaxed feeling.

You should also know that edibles aren’t really the same drug; THC is chemically altered by the digestive system. It’s also a lot easier to overdo it with edibles and have a bad experience (in ways that aren’t even really possible when smoking), so be careful about dosage.

adding to this, if you eat an edible and you don’t feel anything after ~20 mins DON’T just eat another one, they take a while to kick in

otherwise it could hit you like a freight train and you will have a bad time

One time I ate all our kid’s breakfast burritos at 1am, pretty guilty explaining why I had nothing to feed her before school

i feel like this was the plot of an afterschool special when i was a kid

My depression often feels like I have a heavy cloud hanging over me, dragging on my physically and mentally. Weed temporarily lifts that cloud.

It also makes food way more appetizing and TikTok funnier

It makes me worry that the club I’m in is about to be raided by the cops and that the person I’m walking home with is going to stab me

Either that or I feel nothing
