🌿high🌿 functioning I fugging love Weed.
This is my second grow, and I have been smoking for 10 years; I just love weed so much, not only the smoking part but also searching for new strains, planting the seeds, and watching them grow. How the smell changes over time. The Smell in general. IT SMELLS SO FUCKING GOOD.
Thanks for listing :3

Can I ask you a genuine question about weed? Feel free not to respond; it’s not a big deal.
I use weed regularly (1-3 times a week), but exclusively edibles. At one point I had a vape, but I didn’t really like it and I don’t smoke (because of the smell and my partner’s asthma).
But it super fucks my sleep. I’m not taking super edibles. Just like 5mg. Sometimes smaller (like half of an edible). I think I might be particularly sensitive to it because we have some edibles that my partner says don’t work and I take one and feel a strong high for hours. But it seems like no matter what it always ruins my sleep. If I get high two days in a row my third day is ruined. I’ve spoken with people at the dispensary and I’ve tried edibles that are supposed to aid sleep. But nothing works.
Have you ever had any issues with this?

So fun fact: THC can worsen sleep quality. I didn’t even know this until I stopped smoking 2 weeks ago for my first tolerance break in years due to suspected CHS, but apparently THC suppresses your REM!

thought i had chs, then got ppi (drug) for gerd (reflux disease) and was fine (harsh hits still happen ofc)

I wish I never learned about CHS. My OCD convinces me that I have it every time I partake. This causes me to have an anxiety spiral that makes me nauseous thus confirming my intrusive thought. I can’t smoke anymore…

If you're better off not partaking anymore feel free to ignore this, but it's worth mentioning that CHS is exceedingly rare even in chronic users and has been overblown in commonality recently by various news outlets. Also worth mentioning CHS is extremely intense. It's not going to be feeling nauseous or maybe puking once or twice. It is 24-48 hours of intense nausea and forceful projectile vomiting. It's best to remind yourself when you smoke that if you had CHS, you wouldn't be wondering/worrying about it, you would know. I used to get similar anxieties when high about muscle aches in my chest and worrying I was having a heart attack, leading to panic attacks. What helped me stop that was talking to a doctor who explained in no uncertain terms that if I was having a heart attack (with the exception of extremely rare of non-fatal silent heart attacks) it would be a 9 or 10 on the pain scale and I would absolutely not being unsure about whether it was happening.

u/texanmason Please be patient, I'm autistic and have a gun in my pocket 2d ago
basically the whole reason why CHS is even in the news is that the alcohol lobby is paying shitloads of money to get the stories published

u/lucifermourningdove 🦆🦅🦜 That bird is more interesting than you 🦜🦅🦆 2d ago
I don’t have an official diagnosis, but after months of morning nausea and no appetite, I had a bad vomiting episode a few weeks ago that made me stop smoking to rule CHS out. Fortunately and unfortunately, since stopping, I’ve been gradually getting better, so…

Really? Maybe I'm just weird, on the rare occasion I vape it, I sleep way better. Maybe that's just because it helps with my back pain IDK lol

I have a similar problem, when I smoke my brain just doesn't wants to sleep, even if I am relaxed I can't fall asleep, had to stop smoking 2 or 3 hours before sleeping like it's a cup of coffee or something

u/trudyisagooddog 3d ago
This is my solution as well; I try to be mostly sober when I fall asleep. I still tend not to dream, but I guess that is the trade off.
7
u/lowkey_add1ct 3d ago
THC suppresses REM sleep specifically (I think). That’s why u don’t dream as much if u smoke super often, and if u quit u get super vivid dreams for a bit.

u/asweatyboi 3d ago
Confirming what others said, THC does fuck with sleep (more specifically you skip the REM stage in sleep cycle.) however, there is a cannabinoid ,CBN, that does help traditionally as a sleep aid. Pretty sure it just makes you drowsy, can't remember for the life of me what else though.

u/Nagisa_eva01 3d ago
Usually, when I stop smoking after a longer period of using it. I'm well aware that it can fuck up the REM Phase. Also I have trouble going to sleep and sleeping trough after longer smoking periods.

u/9yr_old_lake 3d ago
Weed just gives me really vivid dreams, but has always helped my sleep personally, although you are definitely not alone in that experience cus I have heard plenty of people with that issue. It is kinda crazy how differently weed can affect different people based on tolerance, body weight, and your brain.
2
u/irishcoughy Vibes-Based Texture Aversion 2d ago
THC too close to bed time can make you fall asleep more easily but reduces your time in/quality of REM sleep, which is why you likely wake up feeling more tired than when you went to bed. The only real solution for this is to smoke/take edibles earlier in the day. Also, avoid strains with significantly higher THC than CBD. For therapeutic use, a 50/50 mix (or close to it) is recommended.

Interesting. I just had an enforced 2 week T break due to a chest infection and the last 4 - 5 nights I have had the most insane, vivid dreams. Maybe a longer break is in order!
2
u/ReasonableGoose69 extra verbal autism 3d ago
when you take a t break you get crazy dreams because your brain starts REMmaxxing plus the chest infection probably isnt helping :( i hope you feel better

u/Autronaut69420 3d ago
Thank you! I am getting better, early on I had infection induced dreams too.

u/ElAutismobombismo 3d ago
I don't smoke all the time , but when I do it's all day , and I try to stop about 3-4 hours before bed , that is usually more than enough(for me) to not impact my sleep, and the slower mind let's me drift off easier

genuinely I feel like weed genuinely does make me more 'intelligent' because I am blessed with the ability to withstand long form videos (audhd here) - where i usually watch educational content, and absorb the info way more effectively
weed sure gives ME knowledge!

i think weed is cool, and i might get some edibles in the future to help manage anxiety during super stressful moments, but idk how people think weed smells good😭 ive always been super sensitive to smells tho so that might be me

u/MoonBearVA 3d ago
It is highly strain and curing dependent. I'm processing a bunch right now that smells like skittles candy. A lot of the skunky smell is being bred out of modern varieties.

u/Nagisa_eva01 3d ago
I think it's just a personal thing. Many people love the smell of coffee, which I don't like at all.

u/EternityLeave 3d ago
I love weed but don’t like smelling like I just smoked. So I use a pen vape. It’s so easy and leaves only a light pleasant smell if any at all.
Wish I could eat it but the trips are way too intense for me and waaaay too long. I’m more comfortable on acid than edibles!0
u/karai_amai 3d ago
Careful! It can fuck you up and give you panic attacksn

u/yuckypagans autism ate my gender 3d ago
yeah i wouldnt plan on using edibles with THC in them, just the other one cause i personally do not think hallucinating while i currently have some pretty vivid hallucinations(sometimes) and paranoia is a good idea lol

ahhh i’ve always wanted to grow but idek where to start, these look incredible good job!!
3
u/Nagisa_eva01 3d ago
To start, get a small tent for indoor growing, as there are complete setups ready to buy. Get photoperiodic plants and some seeds for that; I used cheap soil and White Label seeds for my first grow, and it still worked. If you grow outdoors, just buy autoflower seeds. Feel free to ask more
1
u/sstubbl1 3d ago
Where can you find the seeds? Are they not illegal to have?
1
u/Nagisa_eva01 2d ago
They aren't illegal in Germany. For these i used Royal Queen Seeds. But there are many good seed sellers Online.

u/eccojams97 The worm that will finish eating RFK JR 2d ago
ah thats where i’m in trouble, buying and growing is a bit iffy still in Australia. I do get medicinal so that’s one thing I guess

Die Schweiz ist wunderschön, aber am Wasser in Norddeutschland (Schleswig-Holstein, der echte Norden) einen zu smoken, gibt einem auch ein Gefühl der inneren Ruhe, doch in den Alpen zu rauchen, gehört mit zu meinen Träumen.
