Everyone is different, but for me, any alcohol, but especially red wine, along with cannabis, is not a good combo. It really screws me up, and in a way I don't like at all.

KSP: I'm with you. And I used to make a living in the wine bidness.
At this point, I drink a beer or two per month.
But the guys at my house last weekend own bars or at least practically live in bars when not at work.

lol, how about them smoking fewer and smaller hits?
newbies and irregulars, Dont crack open a strong vodka or whiskey and then just Down a fifth or more without expecting Some consequences
why should we treat weed different?
lol...
seeing people take something that strong and just cram the bowl same huge as normal.
or smoke a whole joint.
when perhaps a quarter of a fingernails worth would be enough to keep them quite happy for hours

People need to learn to take their medicine at their own personal dose size. They shouldn't worry about their friends who can smoke one or more bowls solo.
This is also where a quality vaporiźer comes into play. It's easier to measure your doses with a vape.
Though, I have a friend that enjoys some weaker strains. He likes being able to smoke a whole joint, rather than 1 drag of strong stuff. The way I think of it is like people who would rather sip wine than taking shots. I get that.
Bottom line, people need to learn how their own bodies work.

bench warmer: That's prolly the best advice so far, imo.
In the past, I've been really protective of female visitors, making sure they didn't smoke too much. (It only took having one gal pass out at a party. hehe) Maybe I need to monitor ALL lightweights, regardless of gender. But its so seldom that I have ANYONE over. Puts me in the celebratory mood when it happens.
I used to get off on treating friends like they'd entered Willy Wonka's factory, willing to serve up as much "chocolate" as they could handle. But I guess a lot of folks around here have eyes bigger than their lungs. hehe

I love a few drinks along with my cannabis. A few meaning 2 or 3. I hate the feeling of being drunk nowadays, but a few drinks spaced out over time just feels nice and relaxing to me.
I agree with the responses about C99. It's probably my favorite strain, but if you get a good plant it's very strong. I've seen occasional smokers have a mild panic attack from one hit. I love the way it makes me feel, but for some people it's just too much.
If you want buds that will make your friends happy, you could try what I've been doing for the last year. I lost all my mother plants last year, so I've been growing lots of packs of seeds looking for new long term keepers. I've found some awesome plants I plan on keeping as long as I can. I've also found lots of plants ranging from low to medium potency. I won't grow those again, but now I have this big selection of buds of all types of strengths. I could save the weak or medium strength buds for low tolerance friends if I wanted. I don't really have that problem at the moment, so I'm just using the weaker buds for hash and edibles.

Strong sativa's and new/lightweight smokers do NOT go together well.
Take your friends disclosure as a backhanded compliment, but also start trying to warn your lower tolerance friends. If you inform them and then they smoke themselves uncomfortable, less guilt on you.
Unfortuneatly some of my edibles made several people kinda OD. Misunderstanding between the wife and I resulted in a really strong coupla pans of brownies. Passed them out with the usual advice to only eat 1/2 and wait at least 1 hr before eating anymore. In hindsite, I didn't portion the brownies any smaller.
Any low tolerance partakers who partook those brownies were laid out. Literally, on the side of the trail. No one ever eats just half though.
Now I only serve brownie bites!
People with low tolerances are not pussies, it's that kind of peer pressure that leads to uncomfortable highs for some.
It's way more fun if everyone's experienced and mature enough to handle their own intake.
Just my 2c.
Don't post much, thought I'd chime in on this one.
Respect,

A couple smokers I know definitely can't handle my little pure joints, even just a couple of tokes and one guy i knows g/f goes mental when he gets home as he's blatantly too fucked to drive. He'll smoke the same weed with tobacco and be fine. Don't thinkhe's a pussy either lol What age are you guys?
call me a pussy if you like but i find some types of weed too strong - generally the mongy ones like sour diesel or casey jones.
i dont mind potency in general, heri or bubba are just great - i just dont like the ones that have an effect similar to being hit over the head with a baseball bat.
much of it is also about tolerance - i keep mine down by not smoking all day - just in the evenings... then a smoke hits the spot just right first time.
most men wouldn't admit to such things because it isnt very macho but ive never cared about such posturing
great thing about weed is there is a strain for everyone out there. i find it useful to have some mid strength ones like Blueberry or MLI around too.

Ive got a non smoking buddy who occasionally wants a puff when we're hanging out...the last time he hit some qwiso we we're blazing up & had to take his keys & put him to bed for about four hours until he was back to normal. Lesson learned....no qwiso for newbies!

Show them some of that pretend dope in high times and tell them maybe they should be smoking some of that stuff instead if yours is too much. Warn 'em & tell him your shit is one hit n quit, or they will suffer the wrath of the mighty stone. This has happened with some peeps with me also. I now warn them, even though I don't really have to anymore, they know whats up. If the weed high is too intense, alcohol won't help dumb down the buzz, just make it worse... Aaah the perks of growing your own.
Even the most experienced smokers here that I know of mainly smoke kush or diesel which if the batch is grown & cured correctly, will be potent. But even with high end buds, buying on the street(non med state) you can't be too sure of the quality of the product. Best way to always have perfectly grown & cured buds is to grow your own. Most tokers just aren't ready for it. Some even think that they are SuperMan, until I pull out that kryptonite...

why you guys bashing so much on what essentially is kids?
or people that dont smoke the same as you?
are we some eliteclub?
why bash on people that did no harm? for having a different taste?
(oh and i feel terrible too when i mix alcohol and weed, never did much back when i drank alot too)

problem unknown, we all smoke alot.
you could extract sum the resin of a strong herb with a pollinator (polm shaker)
dry bud (temp. 4-7 celsius, fritch) in the pollinator for 1 - max 2 minutes will extract the resin outside the bud. short time pollinated bud will not loose many hairs (flavour).

man i hate this pussy-ass kind of whining TBH.
if you cant handle it then simply smoke less!
i have a friend like that too. he used to always complain about my ganja being too strong and getting him way too fucked. ok i have to admit i liked getting him very high haha, i would smoke my bubble hash with him and he could barely walk that was a funny sight lmao xD.
anyway i told him to stop being a pussy and just smoke less. but over time he smoked more and more with me and manned up, so nowadays he wont complain anymore. the whole thing sorted itself out.
so maybe the real advice would not be to smoke less, but to smoke MORE so he can get used to it. i have to admit when i take a break and get back to smoking i get wwaaaaaay too high, and after a couple of days it gets back to a level where i can still function.
Man. Me personally I can't bash on the guy for wanting something with lower potency. Recently was in hospital and had to stop smoking for a good 3 months solid I'd say only hitting the vape once every now and again. Seasoned smoker. 3.5g a day before this hospital madness.
First time back smoking a good friend ran across some Headband X White Widow that he kept some of, since he said he's never ran across anything as fire. Never been so debilitated in my life, and it was only half a J. Couldn't keep eyes open and stayed that way for a solid 3 hours before it started tapering.

C99 can be just as bad. I had a heart racing effect from it. Same with jack the ripper! Guess everyones different. You shoulb be mean and bust out some hash lol
Worst heart racing effect I had from cannabis so far was from Jack Herer. It was however the most unique high I've ever experienced. Such a dream-like high it was ridiculous. Which I believe added to the heart racing effect. Gonna hunt for that pheno. Just gotta take a few shots or hits of some bubba before hand to calm that anxiety lol.
Recently a friend on mine ....
Recently a friend on mine ....
He lives 40 miles away, across town came over for a short visit.
I gave him some "Dick in the Dirt" brownies I had just made, to take home.
A few weeks later he comes over to return the favor and give me a couple of brownies for his club. I put them in the fridge and fired up a joint of Pre-98 Bubba....
I was surprised that after a toke or two his eyes turned red, sunk back into there sockets, and he said, that's enough for me, I have to drive.
I thought that was great, he knew his limits, why push them.
Of course I smoke this stuff all the time.
