Well, this is a huge coinkidink! I was wondering the very same thing.

I made some very tasty brownies last week with a trainwreck x that kicked my ass. Hard. My mind just went off doing it's own thing outside of the matrix. Oh, and the horniness! I can't remember the last time I felt so damn horney. Made me wish I hadn't broken up with the last guy I dated (although, after I came down, I was damn glad I didn't high dial!).

I gave a big fat piece to a friend who said he got nothing but cotton mouth. WTF is up with that??? I'm kind of small (5'5", 120lbs), but have a pretty high weed tolerance. The guy I gave the brownie to is over 6 ft and around 2 bills. Maybe this has something to do with it?

thanks for the replies guys and gals some very good input on the subject.

supermanlives-yea it defently seems that way

tokinafaty420- this was another thing i suspected the friend that said he didnt get high defently expects the stony lethargic effect from weed and personally i dont think he recognizes it either because when i smoked some kali mist a about 6 years ago and really i didnt feel it all because i didnt recognize the new effects yet ithought i was going to get hungry and stoned

coyoteattack- just chillen i feel the effects when sitting around tho so i dont think this is the case but possible

Andyo- i also believe this to be somewhat true as ridiculas as it sounds. i remeber after the dood left that day he said it doesnt get him high i looked at my girlfriend and said maybe hes not smart enough hahahahah and i really i dont think hes the sharpest knife in the drawer either


yoss33- nice a first hand experience with this situation. yes this is exactly what i thought and said to the guy


Japanfreakier- this seems to be true and kinda corlates to having a higher iq. people with high iqs generally speaking probally can make out the 3d pictures and people with low iqs probally have a trouble making the picture out. just my guess

gavin2511-memleak- the guy has probally a quater a week tolerance maybe a little more but nothing near my tolerance i dont think i know anyone besides my girlfriend that has tolerance like we do at least oz to an oz and half a week if not more just between us. so i dont think tolerance is the issue

Custy Noob- i have absolutly no experience with smoking pills i have plenty with eating them and i dont think this guy has ever even thought of smoking pills because honestly that sounds fucking retarded. and defently dont hang with pill smokers lol


VenturaHwy- i know what this guy gets and i can tell you that if its indica dominate thats what he would consider good dense frosty smelly, stony

TheGreenReaper and Kush_Master- this was my understanding untill thhis guy siad he didnt get high where me my girl and many others clearly enjoy and feel the extremely heady motivating soaring effects.


wow longest post ever lol
lots of good ideas on why my friend did not get high
and even a first hand expierence too if any else has been in this situation where someone smokes a really good sativa and says they dont get high

great disccusssion everyone!

Some smokers think they have to be stuck down and falling asleep to get the desired effects. Remember effects are sativa is a high and indicas are a stone. Two different effects. I love haze strains to go out and party. If i just want to chill out and relax, then indicas will do it.
You may want to try a 60%sativa 40% indica like white widow. Sure to be the crowd pleaser. Best of both worlds.

I'M a indica fiend too been smokng my own purple kush for like 3 years , still getting me high every time but last week had to go out and buy some sativa just to keep me from loosing my mind, love to mix the two strains in a salad with a lil bubble hash, I feel you have to mix it up too much of one is boring

oh i mix it up man i get many differnt kinds of smoke hash and buds i defently still get burnt out on indica dom flowers even if they are different with the expception of a few elite indicas like deep chunk that produces a very floaty relaxing cerabl effect imo a good indica high. and i know he switches it up so i dont think this the case i mean he has never smoke pure or almost pure sativas ever thats why i think he doesnt feel it so theres no way hes burnt out on them. that would be impossible after only one session

thanks again guys keep the discussion going!

Yea I agree with the thing about meds. If you know it's potent and he's trying to say that he isn't high then he is either lying and wants more, or something is actually blocking his effect. Or he was trying to be insulting.

But you say that he is your friend, so it seems to me that there was some activity in his body that took away his high. He could have been justified in saying what he did because he didn't understand why he was not high.

also i think that crusty noob meant that the dude takes prescriptions orally, and the pharms interfere with the cannybus. I have a relative that takes a lot of legitimate scripts (not pain meds but the pharms that I would not want to eat) and doesn't smoke while taking the scripts because they interfere with the high.

As it's been said, some people are used to smoking indicas and just expect a certain body effect which they define as being high. In order to fully enjoy a sativa, staying on the couch doesn't help. The guy should have played an instrument or do something creative, then maybe he would have realized he was high. On more than one occasion I have smoked a sativa and only felt it when I got my ass off the chair/sofa.

But maybe there is another explication. I remember reading about metabolites in human body. To put it short, metabolites are by-products of chemical transformations occuring in our body. In some reactions, the presence of metabolites (which requires the reaction to have taken place before) speeds up the reaction. This is why some people don't feel any effect the first time they smoke cannabis, but do get high when they try it again (I was one of them). Now I don't know if the chemicals contained in sativas and indicas are different enough for them to not share the same metabolic pathways, but maybe the guy didn't feel high because he had never or only on a few occasions smoked sativa?

for me it's the oposite... indicas doesnt's get me high at all, only makes me want to sleep and be bored. another thing that i hate about indicas is that a couple of joints gives you the same effect as 10, only makes you more tired and useless, while several thai (for example) joints make you enter into a colorful happy world of awarenes that can't get reached even smoking a ton of the most powerful indys...
 
i can believe that your friends said that.....probably a combonation of reasons why as baan stated.....

ive given some kids some earlyass sativa nugs which only gave a face eye type high 2 it....pure "headies" high as they say...they liked the feeling....probably cuz it was a lot diff than indica stone....however id bet if they kept burning it day after day it would become completely unsatisfying and boring.....im not speaking of full bloomed sativas btw

IMHO over decades of smoking many pharmaceuticals interfere with the capacity to enjoy a sativa buzz opiates and benzos are good examples
im so glad you posted this custy cos it has been a theory of mine for ages due to the fact most people love my bud but a few say they dont get high from it. after a while i realised that the few, where all the ones who take smack or methadone. i believe its because they associate indica mongness with being stoned yet if you gave it to a old stoner from way back when, they would say its all mong and no high.
There are places for both in my life however indica and sativa but if i had to pick 1 to smoke forever it would be sativa:ying:

There are good and bad sativas like anything else, but if you aren't getting high off of a good sativa then you didn't grow it long enough or cure it long enough. Sativas are like good mescaline and only come with enough time. If you are not a patient person then you are bound to fuck it up. Also If they are not grown in organic soil then I doubt you are going to be as impressed with it. If you look at how many compounds are present in humus, how many of those are related to aromatic compounds, and the relative ease that Cannabis absorbs heavy metals. Then it doesn't take a huge stretch of the imagination to see it absorbing and metabolizing a whole slew of simple organic compounds (modified carbon) and then ultimately accumulating them in the plant matter. Being that they are spending more time in their medium, it wouldn't be hard to see it being that much more imperative for them to be grown in exacting conditions. Anyways most folks want to block the outside world out, that's not what sativas do. People aren't that into psychedelics right now. Sativas go along with that.

I love to smoke such "pure headies high" early harvested sativas. And I'd be happy to do it all my life, it's not boring to me at all. Full bloomed sativas to me are just degraded "pure headies", albeit stronger.

People smoke Oxy's all day every day. You have to roll it down the foil with a straw in your mouth as you cook it, chasing the dragon.

Fuck that shit.

i dont think its about sativas and indicas...some people just want to get blasted, they want devastating pot, raw power...there are also gentle, sophisticated indicas...you can get wasted even on original haze if you smoke certain amount of it...and people who prefer raw, devastating, flat buzzz aka xanax(nd why to smoke painkillers if you dont have real pain?) their souls arent tuned to quality sativa high so they dont feel it in right way...you must learn to smoke it... its like with quality music.. you must learn to hear it... everybody has ears but not everybody is able to hear it ya know?

hey everybody, yea i do agree with that sativas pulled very early can almost be like smoking ditch weed sometimes. BUT i know what mature pot looks like and there isnt a single white hair on any of this bud and it defently looks done and smokes like its done.

I dont know what the deal is me ,others and this new tester obvisouly really reaally feel the effects . while the other guy was so stuck on it not getting him high he wouldnt even listen to what i had to say about what the effects are supposed to be like

ive read other posts as well on this site a while back about a guy who grew out sams - thai haze skunk and let some of his hardcore indica smokers try it and he siad it didnt get them high

its probally a combination of things and just basically not understanding the high like some of you said. some people just dont get it.

cheers!
