Bongs Are not a scam.......they are a way of life!

True by definition ganja is a drug but if you go that far so is sugar, salt and many other common everyday things people consume in life that they never call drug. Most people call heroin, meth and Coke drugs. I feel our community gets a bad rap because of it. Lets stop vilifying ourselfs and start speaking positively, at least how we refer to our herb. Just my opinion.

I would have to say if you smoke properly grown herb tolerance becomes a thing of the past. Turpenes rule..

tolerance for sure man, didn't realize it or believe in it until a month ago or so. Need to have those different strains. Right now i have a nice og kush and some chemdog. I might post in whatcha puffin. I can't smoke sats.
But yeah, right on the money.
I'm starting to take this medical thing seriously. I could even get those old people pill cases with the days of the week and throw 2 grams in each

best thing to do, as far as tolerance, is to get into edibles especially if your into medicating. ima big dude and didn't think a lil ass brownie coulda done a damned thing for me . . . until i tried to get out of the chair i was sitting in a half hour later! my brother did warn me first so i cant say i didnt know.

yeah man, edibles, do that! making the budder is easy and using it is even easier.
 
I still want my dark green ceramic bong shaped like a microscope that the campus cops took in 1980. We weren't hurting anybody by laying in that parking lot.

the stomach is more effective at absorbing the active constituants into the blood than the lungs and especially after many years of smoking.. the high from edibles makes smoking a joint alot more powerful.. and i think the word drug does degrade cannabis personally.. it does more than a drug..

i've wrestled with my mj intake with the intent to keep my tolerance low.

Changed my motivation to get high. Now, i motivate to get the "first time" smoking experience.

supply is never the constraint.

used to smoke +10 bowls a day. high was good.

Now, i smoke 2-4 bowls a day with a day off once in a while. Great time each day.

smoke too much, my body built up a HELLA tolerance. Just smoke 2 days (+20 bowls) hardcore and by the third day your tolerance should be much higher.

now, smoke after 5 pm or later. Put the bowl and stash away when i am done. Keep switching strains everyday. And take a day off once in awhile. I am MUCH happier than smoking 10 bowls and not get the super high feeling.

i havent used my bong since my last post in this thread, it's now officially put away. I've been using the one hitter, and seem to be as high as i was with the bong and instead of smoking whole buds i can get baked off a few fat calyxs

So its a good thing not smoking as often and i should control the urge to smoke during the day. Or should i start smoking a less potent strand?

I think im addicted, the only time i dont smoke is when i have a big project going, too parnoid!!!

i think that if you like to smoke period then just smoke a less potent strain and save the good stuff; the regs you roll big the goods you roll nice and light then every once in a while, if you get low on the goods, youcould always mix the regs with the goods and stretch it out a lil until you reup or your harvest comes in.

thats what my brother and i used to do; get a 1/2oz of teh good stuff and a full oz of the regs.

i love smoking, but you wont EVER catch me dead or alive with a cig in my mouth jack!

I only smoke once, or twice a month. Sometimes nada, suits me perfectly. I like my brain clear and focused. After a three year period smoking non-stop i felt like nah is good, growing is giving me more joy and enjoying my smoke once in a while is just a bonus from the love of the hobby.

BTW chaps the word 'drug' comes from the original french word 'drogue', meaning 'barrel'. This comes from the days of shipping when only those items of highest value would be packed in a barrel and put on a ship and sailed off for trade with all the inherent risks involved like sinking, shipwreck, pirates, goods getting wet and rotting etc... So salt, spices, teas, medicinal plants and plant extracts like hashish and opium, wine, gunpowder etc. would all be considered 'drugs'. The word itself has no negative connotation, just an assumed one.

What is more accurate is medicine and poison when talking in this respect. Ie. Cannabis Sativa and Indica, hashish and THC would be medicine and meth would be poison. Heirloom seeds would be medicine and GMO cannabis would be poison. MDMA would be medicine and 'uncut' street MDMA would be poison, heavily tainted with manufacturing mercury/alu amalgam and such. A lot of stuff actually fits into the 'drug definition' and is very benign.

Moderating my cannabis use.. yeah I gotta train that discipline a bit, my tolerance yeeeeaahh. I just put my oil machine away for a few months every now and again otherwise it becomes pointless, I just get to a point where I don't get stoned at all but my short term memory just gets worse!

I cant lie, the bud has turned me out!

I cant function normally when im smokin more than 2 times in 48 hours. I dont think its bud i like its just the act of smokin, i can replace whats being smoked with anything ie( black and mild or tobacco)

I think when my lab is back up and humming i will be too busy, focus to smoke!! Im bored until then.

Smoking is inefficient compared to edibles.
Vaping is better than smoking, but still slightly less than edibles. But I also use vaped buds to make edibles as well, so at the end not sure which is the most efficient, but I very much like that combination.

For those who mix with tobacco, the nicotin craving reduce much the interval between consumptions.

Since I stopped pretty much smoking and mixing with tobacco, and start vaping and baking, I have cut by two my consumption while this was not my goal at all, while being as much high than before.

I manage my intake depending on how I feel my body and mind feel, not on quantity, I grow for personal so I don't really care about that problem. Plus now I vaped and use edibles mostly, so health is not an issue neither.

The more I read about Cannabis as a medicine, the more this approach make sense. Cannabis seems very good for me, as long as I carefuly choose the strains I am using. Not much indica or I get too lazy ^^

Time to start growing ;)
