Marijuana Lounge

[The Dames 0]

As an offshoot of the Smoking Lounge Thread, discuss your experiences with marijuana here.

 

This is NOT a discussion on the moral issues of smoking marijuana or its legalization, but a place for those who have smoked it to discuss their experiences with it, so if you're going to judge....don't do it in this thread. Start one in Hardcore Discussion for that if you like.

 

My experiences with the green stuff shall be posted later.

Saw Fantasia 2000 at IMAX a few years back, after smoking out in a poorly lit section of the parking lot. My only clear memories of the night are 1) making fun--quite loudly--of the may-or-may-not-have-been retarded child who was sitting in the row in front of us; and 2) being shocked by the surround-sound type system they had in the auditorium. In one scene, Mickey was somewhere off-screen, talking to the on-screen Steve Martin. With the Mouse's voice coming very clearly from the right side of the theatre, I quickly turned my head to check what was going on. Upon realizing my folly, I laughed and laughed and laughed, to the point tears were coming out of my eyes.

 

It helped that, at the time, it was the first time I smoked pot in like five years.

That sounds hilarious. I wanted to see both Matrix movies (which I saw at IMAX) high, but I wasn't able to. I bet IMAX must be completely bugged out like that.

 

Seeing the first one high made me question reality...

I saw all three Lord Of The Rings films absolutely muntered. Subsequently I love every film. I've found that watching films, especially comedies while stoned heighten the experience massively. I recommend it to everyone. I remember marking out like an 8 year old at WM6 for the battle of Helms Deep...

[The Dames 0]

Shiet...how was the Battle of Pellenor Fields to you then?

My stomach churned and I had that feeling of holy shit something great was going down. Kinda like the feeling I had before Hogan-Rock at WM18.

 

Also watch any wrestling while stoned. Bad wrestling becomes funny and entertaining, while good wrestling becomes awesome. I recommend Rock-Jericho from No Mercy 2001 and any TLC match. Everything just becomes *THAT* much better.

I've got to agree with that statement 100%.

 

I was watching two friends of mine just playing No Mercy for the 64...and I got so caught up in it, I thought I was watching a house show for a while there.

I got high for the first time in almost four years a couple of weeks ago. I remembered all the things I liked about getting stoned. The next time I get ripped, I'm popping in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." That flick is ten times funnier while baked.

[Matt Young 0]

I've smoked weed for almost 4 years. My first time was the night before Easter of 2000, a few months before I turned 16. I've loved it since I started, but I don't smoke enarly as much anymore. I've taken to drinking and I do that more often since it's cheaper. Also, when I smoke, I get tired and anti-social unless the other people I'm around are high as well, which is the opposite of what happens when I get drunk.

 

Still, when the setting and time is right, nothing beats some good ganja. I love getting high and turning on some trippy lights, just chilling and listening to music... It's like you can hear each individual instrument/voice in the song separately, with perfect clarity. It's beautiful. In that same vein, I also enjoy playing my guitar and writing songs while high.

 

Other things I love to do while high....

 

Playing video games- I feel like I used to as a child where I would be PSYCHED about a new game and LOVE every second of the experience to the point where there's nothing better. I also perform even further above my already high level of skill when I'm baked. Ah, the joys of carrying on a non-stop conversation about silly shit, staring your friend directly in the eye the entire time, while beating them flawlessly at Soul Calibur. Oh, and old school games are the best while high- NES especially.

 

Sex- The pleasure is heightened ten-fold. Nuff said.

 

And then there is of course what I'm doing right now- Smoking a bowl and watching lucha libre. Hell yeah.

 

The only bad note I have in my experiences with smoking is that I got arrested for the first time a couple months ago due to the guy I was with (whom I barely knew, and that was my biggest mistake) getting pulled over for expired plates, and the cops noticed his open beer case in the back seat. He had only had 2 beers and was fine to drive, but nonetheless, that gave them a reason to search us. They found around a gram in my cigarette box and my gorgeous new glass bowl from Toronto. Needless to say, I lost the bowl and I go to court on Monday.

 

I'll share some of my funnier stories later when I have more time. Right now I am going to smoke more and watch the last 45 minutes of lucha. Great topic, Dames... I didn't have any idea that you smoked.

I started smoking about two years ago, and, for the most part, I enjoy it. The only downsides to it are that if I smoke before I drink, I get fucked up A LOT faster. And when I say "fucked up", I mean I lose the ability to speak. But if I'm drinking, then I smoke, everything is fine. It's very strange.

 

My friend has a snapping turtle that lives in the backyard, in a pond that his brother built. We'd always go out there and smoke by the pond, watch the fish swim around, and then we realized that if we stayed still enough, we could watch the turtle hunt down fish, and, if we were lucky, birds. Every now and then, a bird would fly down and land right at the edge of the pond, presumably to get a drink.

 

The turtle would pop up and go straight for the bird's head, breaking his neck in the process, then he would drag it under the water and eat everything except the feathers. So my friend and I got the brilliant idea to go to PetCo and buy a mouse, since it was only like a dollar, and have ourselves an event.

 

We set up a little arena, got a video camera, and we were all set to watch these two go at it. Turtle was so petrified over this mouse that it didn't even move.

 

Then we lost the mouse somehwere in the house.

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

I've been smoking the herb since I was like 13. Half of the posts I've made on this board where while I was stoned 9it shows eh?).

 

I did the whole gnomewarfare stuff while stoned out of my mind. I was so stoned once I was convinced the gnomes were talking to me.

 

I remember seeing Independance Day while high and getting booted out of the theater when I started screaming, "He killed Data, that bastard!!"

[Nighthawk 0]

This thread is immature.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

I saw Benoit vs Angle at RR 03 the first time when I was stoned and I'm pretty sure I got an erection when Benoit hit his diving headbutt to Angle 3/4 of the way across the ring.

 

Seriously.

 

Fun Story: I called into Live Audio Wrestling (Toronto based radio show) totally funked outta my skull and proceeded to blabber on and on about how Benoit vs Brock on Smackdown was Godjesus. I was also dl'ing porn in the background and every time the clips finished a chime sounded. The host of the show thought that I was getting a ton of e-mails and suggested I should get off the phone to answer them.

 

Kudo's to Dames for starting this thread. Speaking of Dames, I never pictured you as a smoker. Don't know why, just never did.

 

Anybody else enjoy playing GTA: VC while high? That game's quality improves tenfold and the stunts/violence go from "hella cool" to "jumping around screaming like a girl mind blowing."

[Giuseppe Zangara 0]

This thread is immature.

I failed to mention that every other time I've been high, my friends and I discuss the serialized Fitzgerald in latest issue of Collier's.

[caboose 0]

Has anyone had sex while completely stoned?

 

If I remember correctly, and I have to be honest, it has been a long time (d'oh!), it's fucking amazing.

[Art Sandusky 0]

Never done it myself, but after being around so many people doing it, I can safely say that the contact high is a myth.

 

Either that or I'm just not affected by the stuff.

[The Metal Maniac 0]

I've smoked for...fuck, I don't even know for sure. Maybe 2 years? Let's say two years. I generally tend to smoke only on weekends (upon which I will spend the entire weekend high, sometimes) though when not in school, it becomes anytime that someone calls me to see what's up.

 

Anybody else enjoy playing GTA: VC while high?

 

Oh my God, I get disgustingly vicious while playing that game high.

 

Someone clipped me with their car once, so I chased them down (They had stopped shortly aftwerwards for reasons I don't recall) and stole their car. But then I got out of the car and shot them about 6 times, kicked them when they went down, and got back in the car to drive them over a few times.

 

But yeah...I sure do love gettin' high. Seeing movies high is excellent (I'm quite sure I didn't move a muscle, not even to blink, when I saw the opening scene of The Two Towers) as that way, you're pretty much guaranteed that you'll be entertained, because even if the movie sucks, it's still funny.

 

I REALLY like listening to music while high, to the point that I'll totally ignore all other people and conversations to listen to the music. And, if possible, I'll direct the conversation TO the music..."Man, you guys gotta hear this fucking song" and such.

 

Also, I find I tend to like two different styles of music. Like, if I'm sober, I (obviously) listen to heavy metal, Iron Maiden, that sorta jazz. if I'm fried, fire in Pink Floyd's The Wall and I'm a happy camper. I'll still listen to metal high, but I listen to a lot more Floyd and mellower stuff when I am.

 

I love the way you can get mesmerized by the most inane shit. Me and a buddy once turned out all the lights except for this one strange one (You know, the round glass things with all the pink light in the middle, and if you touch it, it jumps to your fingers...those things) and set it to activate on music, then listened to "One" in stunned silence, as it flashed to the double-kicks beautifully.

 

I also love being able to have the most inane conversations about the stupidest shit. I've had discussions with people about some fucking retarted things - but they didn't care, because they were high.

 

Oh, and I love the joy that comes from perusing some flea market, and walking away with a new smoking toy. I remember once, my cousin found a gas mask.

 

Before we had left the parking lot, it was already converted into a workable smoking accessory. Good times.

 

Oh, and I also like the feeling of waking up, half-dead from the night before, and heading right outside for a wake-and-bake. Good times.

 

I also enjoy the ability to find ANYTHING hilariously funny. I once almost pissed myself laughing at a joke that I made up, and me and some buddies spent about 20 minutes making plans that involved getting people to dress up like Smurfs, and having someone dressed up like Gargamel chase them all around town.

 

But anyway, since this thread is here, I have a few queries for my fellow potheads...

 

When you guys roll a j, how do you do it? And no, I don't need to learn to roll (I already know I can't) I'm just curious as to what you fellows put in a joint.

 

Specifically, do you use tobacco and/or filters/crutches?

 

Everyone I know from around my area either uses tobacco in their joints, or doesn't because they had to quit smokes. I don't mean a lot, mind you; just a pinch. I perfer it with, these days, mostly because I'm used to the taste, and besides, it helps it burn better - but what about you people? Is this like, some odd Maritime thing, or are there other people on earth that do this?

 

And crutches/filters? If you're not familiar with the terms (I once looked at someone funny when they used the word crutch because I'd never heard it before) it's basically just a little piece of cardboard (often torn from a pack of smokes, or a zig-zag pack if someone's being a dick) rolled up and put into the end of a j. It keeps weed from blowing into your mouth, and gives the end a bit of shape to make it a littler easier (I find, anyway) to smoke. Plus, it gives you something that's not weed to hold on to, so you don't have to worry about getting roach clips or whatever.

 

So yeah...use 'em? I'm honestly just curious as to how people in other places smoke...

[BigPoppaKev 0]

I have to agree with JSYK. Smoking and drinking for me is a bad mix. I tend to lose all control when that happens.

 

I have been smoking for I'd say around 3 years but only regularly for about a year. I have to admit that out of anyone I know I probably get the munchies the worst. I can't count how many times I have sat in a Wendy's parking lot chomping down on some JBC's when I'm totally stoned out of my mind.

 

One of the funniest things ever was watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail while stoned out of my skull so I reccommend watching that while stoned to anyone.

[Guest Elgyn]

A few weeks ago, me and a couple of buddies made a whole thing of weed brownies. We gobbled them down and then went to see Return of the King. About an hour or so into the movie, we just started laying our heads off and couldn't stop till the movie was over. After the film, we went back to a friends and played Manhunt for a few hours. Even though we kept dying over and over, it was still a blast.

[Damaramu 0]

I smoked weed a few times in the 9th grade.

Nothing. I did it....felt nothing. Everyone around me was "I'm so stoned!" I took several giant hits and held it in forever. Nothing. I looked around at all the people around me acting like idiots...still nothing.

Suffice to say....I don't smoke weed. It's just not fun.

[Mole 0]

I used to smoke weed for about four years, and I was a big stoner.

 

I started getting paranoid, so I stopped smoking.

 

The funniest thing I can think about was my senior year in high school.

 

I used to have study hall period 8 with my friend Mike, so we always dipped out and got high.

 

My friend Mark took the day off, so we went to his house. We took some gravity bong hits, about maybe 3 or 4. I remember that gravities getting me the highest, so taking about 4 got me super high.

 

Mike and I got back in my car to go to chorus together, which was a joke class anyway. Him and I looked at each other, and just started laughing be on belief. It was the highest I've ever been, so the laughter just kept on pouring out.

 

We went to chorus, and just sat down ready to sing. Our teacher used to pick a few people to come up to the piano to sing sometimes. He just happened to pick Mike and I, along with a few other people.We started singing, but Mike and I just took one look at each other and couldn't stop laughing.

 

Since our teacher is just dumb, he didn't even know we were high. He just told us to sit down again, still laughing our asses off.

 

I have plenty of stories, but I won't get myself started.

[Corey_Lazarus 0]

Toked on the way back from MetalFest. Didn't feel shit.

 

Fishbowled my friend Holly's car with her and our friends Allison and James. SIX BOWLS. SIX. No high.

 

Smoked a few nugs at a jam session in July. Minor hunger, but I attributed that to the fact that I hadn't eaten anything in a day and a half.

 

Smoked a bowl with my buddy Jay, to which he got stoned and thought I was. I felt fine, my eyes were normal, and I wasn't hungry or anything.

 

I've never been stoned. NEVER. The closest thing to a high I've gotten to has been the nicotine rush after smoking a cigarette too fast, and a buzz from liquor. And now, my girlfriend has put me on marijuana prohibition, because everybody SHE knows that smokes weed is an asshole (something about stupidity can be said here, but she puts up with me, so I gotta love her).

[Nighthawk 0]

If you ever take your balls out of your girlfriend's purse, Laz, try eating the weed. Not in a brownie or anything, just choke it down straight. If that doesn't get you high, nothing will.

You can't get high by eating weed. You have to cook it so the THC becomes active, that is why people put it in brownies.

[Nighthawk 0]

I didn't know that. I meant when it was all crusty and in clumps. So I guess it's cooked then. That's what I was talking about.

[Guest Krazy Karter]

Bullshit - I used to buy 20 oz. Lipton Brisks in study hall, crush a nugget and sprinkle it in, shake it up good and I got high as hell.

 

Use it to season a sandwich. It works.

[Damaramu 0]

Wow Laz you sounded like me. You're standing there while everyone is getting high around you just going "What's the big deal? This sucks."

I sometimes think that more people act high than they actually are. And I think being high is more of a mental thing anyways. I mean sure there's a chemical reaction there but most of the way people act is all in there head.

[Guest Krazy Karter]

The first time I smoked I didn't get high, but acted like I was to look cool.

 

The second time the same thing happened, but imagine your friends blowing bong hits in your face for 2 hours straight without you knowing.

 

I was FUCKED up.

Aww, no.

 

It doesn't get you high, trust me I've tried.

[Corey_Lazarus 0]

No, Dam, it's not so much that I was like "wow, this sucks." It's more like "wow, I've just smoked SIX FUCKING BOWLS and I'm not high."

 

And IDRM, I like my balls in my girlfriend's purse. They stay warm that way.
