(sorry so long, but I wanted to get it all out)
Greetings SR members. I have recently completed my third purchase on SR. I'd like to share my thoughts and hopefully with your help figure out my perplexing problem. I'm only into weed and no other substance. My first transactions here went very smooth, and the vendors have all been nice, helpful, and professional in every way. Yet, I am somewhat disappointed. I am simply not getting high from anyone's weed so far. Buzzed yes, but not high, at least not what I consider high. I weigh 125 pounds, and I have not smoked at all in about ten years, until just recently, so it's not a high tolerance issue. Plus, I weigh the same, even a bit less that I did ten years ago.
I last smoked weed about a decade ago, during the late 90's and early 2000's, and I was never a heavy smoker. Maybe two or three puffs on a pipe a day or every other day. And with that stuff, I got absolutely blazed, every time. Now, to clarify my definition of what it means to be high from my experience. When I smoked, I had strong euphoria, and the giggles. My body would sometimes almost shake or shiver, but not because it was cold, it just would make my body feel so good and the buzz so strong, I was just kind of trembling from the pleasurable sensation. I rarely got "couch locked", but I could if I wanted to. When I smoked, the first thing that would happen to me is I would feel the euphoria, feel the body buzz, and get inspired to be productive. I would either want to clean up and organize stuff, study, do homework, read, draw, listen to music, create music, or exercise. I felt so good, I never wanted to just zone out and vegetate and watch TV, although I did sometimes of course. And, there seemed to be no ceiling. I could take a medium hit and be feeling really nice and fully functional. Or if I wanted to get really high, just smoke more and more until i feel like I'm having an out of body experience, like BLINDINGLY HIGH. The stuff I've gotten from SR has a ceiling so low, I feel like all I can get is slightly buzzed at best, barely.
My point is, I'm not feeling anywhere near what I've just described, other than slightly enhanced music and the munchies and a bit of a boost to get up and do something. I used to have a wave of creative ideas and impulses that were very strong and that kept me focused on musical composition for literally hours and I was as happy and high as could be.
The smell and appearance is also different from what I remember. This is of much less importance to me than the effectiveness of the weed, but I'm mentioning it just to previde more details and clues to this mystery. What I used to smoke usually had a minty, or black peppery smell, or skunk farty, or all three. What I've gotten on SR has been the diesely fuel pine smell, and one was more skunky. But the effect (or lack thereof) is just about the same from all three vendors.
I didn't want to contact each vendor and share these thoughts with them until I had tried a product from them all, then make my assessment. Besides, I can't explain everything I've just said here via some PM's, and I don't want to be a PITA. And I don't want a reputation as an impossible to please customer, especially to all three venders because then I might seem to be a troublemaking troll scammer customer. I want to make it clear that I love the SR, and I want it to work. So as far as I'm concerned, as long as the vendors I deal with are nice, responsive and take great care in packaging and security, I don't want to complain too loudly or be too critical, unless of course the transaction truly warrants it. This is all more important to me than even the quality of the product because regardless of whether the weed is good or whether it's crap, the U.S. Stormtroopers will knock down our doors just the same.
I don't know if it's me, and what I used to smoke years ago was the most premium alien god-like hydro super weed on earth, or the stuff I've bought here is in fact just regular decent human weed and I am simply forever spoiled.
At first I thought the weed I got from each vendor was maybe ok, but not great. But after trying all three over the course of almost 2 weeks, I've come to the conclusion that it's either me, and for some inexplicable reason I have become impervious and immune to the effects of marijuana, or, all three vendors weed was indeed just not that great. I don't consider any of this a complaint against a vendor. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on with me.
FYI I've been using a glass pipe and the Magic Flight Launch Box vaporizer, which I love and is much much easier on the back of my throat.
I would really appreciate any comments or input that might help me figure out what is going on.

TL;DR
I've tried three high ranking reputable venders, and I'm just not getting high from any of their product. This is not necessarily criticism. This is me being baffled and trying to determine whether I have developed a bizarre immunity to THC, or what I've gotten so far has in fact been of average or less quality weed.

i happens, mate. i knew this irish fella who climbed the highest mountains, ran through the fields, scaled these city walls, and a whole bunch of other things....but he STILL hasn't found what he's looking for

Yeah he's been searching for like 25 years. You gotta respect his perseverance though.

What you describe is a strong sativa. You won't find that here. Sativas are not profitable (such as a haze or thai), if grown correctly because they need a long flower time to get a full round high and don't yield visually appealing bud, sometimes. What you are looking for is a specific high, a specific strain. Any sativa you will get will most likely be premature. Generally, sellers don't want to invest a 4-5 month harvest. If you want a strain, I can suggest four, Kali Mist (98'), Super Silver Haze, Cinderella 99, Mr. Nice Mango Haze.
Kali Mist is legendary and would be best. But again, you won't find these really anywhere. But you could always grow them yourself and find a winner and have that high you want for life.
If you want a seller, Christy Nugs is best. I have tried everyone and for price and consistency she is the best and will be the only weed vendor I use.
Remember your mindset changes with age and experience also. When we are younger with less worries it is much easier to be 'giggly', happiness is egocentric. Maybe try and shot of alcohol or two before smoking.

hahahaha
ontopic, have you tried any hash or oil? if you don't get high off oil, then you're cause is hopeless.

Thanks for the input Lumps. Why wouldn't I find a strong sativa on SR? I see sativas all over the place here. Why wouldn't real deal premium stuff be here just like it is on the street? I understand what you are saying about profitability, but still, there's got to be great shit here somewhere. And I'd like to try ChristyNugs, but she requires you to have been on SR for at least 7 months! Plus, all I see as of today on her vendor page is 1 oz and I'm afraid to buy that much of something before I try it. I have bitcoins burning a hole in my instawallet, but I'm running out of high ranked sellers with a many transactions to choose from, and I will only order domestic.
And I agree about perceptions changing as we age, but surely not to the point where I just flat out don't get high at all. That seems physiologically improbable.

Christy, jesakai, and humboltsfinest have the best buds on sr. and they are all awesome vendors to deal with.
If you choose any of them you will be satisfied, I'm very picky when it comes to weed and I really enjoy all three of these vendors.
Jesakai by far has the best bud I've ever seen on sr hands down and if you want some primo shit you should talk to him.
-
i don't know.. for you to say you found three vendors on here, tried the weed, and you didn't get high? are they a1 vendors? did they have complaints?
this sounds psychological. on a side note, i do want some c 99, or dr. grinspoon. i think i may start a c99 and or grinspoon grow soon.. get the rest of my buds on the road. wanted to try some of humbolts headband but i don't see his listing anymore?

Stamped brick pot is exactly what you're looking for. You CANNOT buy this stuff by anything less than ten pounds at a time, and usually no less than a bale. The dealers who get it, keep it. It's the same pot you remember.
You hafta know a Mexican who is a weed BROKER (Semi trailers full of weed type connection) and who REALLY LIKES YOU to get it. Costs 35K/100 pounds (which is alot for that kinda industrial weight) but is SO, SO worth it.

Its not anything about the drug, its you. You've GROWN UP. I use to get the same feelings you described, and I've been smoking over 10 years as well. Now I just get a nice relaxing buzz no matter how much I smoke, I kind of think the placebo effect had something to do with it back then, but my high has never been near as intense as when I was a "kid", and I smoke medical now and low-mid grade crap back then, not that there's anything wrong with mids, just cannot find them here since its a med state.

Thanks for the recommendations.

I know, it sounds psychological, but I'm not sure. That would mean a psychoactive drug's effects can be neutralized by one's state of mind, and that doesn't even seem possible, at least for me. There was never a time when I would get high, and then suddenly be ABLE to snap out of it for some urgent reason, just like when doing LSD or mushrooms - once the train starts moving, it ain't stopping for ANYTHING, no matter what your age or state of mind. You take enough mushrooms and you're going for a ride. I don't think my physiology could have changed so much in ten years that I would go from being particularly sensitive to pot and having a low tolerance, to being practically unaffected. Strangely, I do get the standard "side effects": cotton mouth, munchies, etc., but without the primary effect.
Stamped brick pot is exactly what you're looking for. It's the same pot you remember.

Never heard the term stamped brick pot. And how do you know it's what I remember? Also unfortunately, I don't happen to know any Mexican bulk quantity drug lord weed brokers.

Now I just get a nice relaxing buzz no matter how much I smoke, I kind of think the placebo effect had something to do with it back then, but my high has never been near as intense as when I was a "kid"...
Not sure I'd say it has nothing at all to do with the drug. Possibly what I used to smoke was some specific strain/type/grow method from that region (NJ), and was an optimized, consistent organized pro operation?
I am grown up, but I wasn't a kid when I first started smoking, I was a young adult more or less fully grown. You've been smoking for over 10 years, but I stopped smoking for ten years - big difference. Actually, during that ten year weed break, I did smoke on rare occasions, and all the weed had barely any effect those times either.
What changed was that I moved to another state, from New Jersey. That's when weed basically stopped working for me, because everything I could get from new friends or co-workers was shit. Gave me bloodshot eyes and made me cough. That's it. All of the side effects, none of the fun. This is pretty much why I stopped smoking all together. Gave up looking.
I agree with you about "the placebo effect" having something to do with how I felt when I was a young adult. Still, the fact that a decade has passed and I weigh almost exactly the same as I did then, have never done ANY other drugs, am not on any prescriptions, have no major health problems, and do not drink at all, should to some degree offset the difference in physiological changes with age and psychological development. For these reasons I think I should feel almost like I'm smoking for the first time again! Of course I know it's not going to be exactly the same, but I'm not even getting close. When I smoked that late 90's Jersey weed, I had to use that shit with caution. If I knew I had to go out or drive, I wouldn't smoke before because time perception was so distorted that one minute would feel like 15 minutes have passed.

It's not psychological, the old school strains from a while ago were pure sativas, which were much more psychoactive and would make yer head spin, while today you will mostly find indicas (because of profit) which will give you the opposite effects pretty much.
An example of what I mean, is that white widow was originally a nice sativa, but nowadays it's been bred like fuck for profit and you see people growing more indica like versions of it, so nowadays a lot of white widow you buy will couchlock you, which is not something original cuttings would do.
To Mitt, if you really want the oldschool effects you're looking for, then only way is to find an original or close-to-original cutting (usually this means plants from pre-2000 that have been kept as mothers), which as you can imagine are very rare and sought after.
So realisticly, you can't really get a hold of the oldschool stuff you want anymore, unfortunately.

If what you say is true, then that is very interesting, and also quite depressing. lol Are you shitting me about pre-2000 era genetics being lost in time?! Holy shit man, that would make a good sci-fi-horror-rom-com-dramedy-noir script.
But seriously, this is an interesting theory, and like I say sad if true, but you mean to tell me that these days, there are people who have never smoked what you called "oldschool" strains? If there can be that much difference in the physical effects felt from today's most common upper quality bud, and those of the past, then this would explain my long held curiosity about people who actually did not like marijuana. When I discovered it and used it for some time, it was a revelation. Rarely was it a relaxation effect I got from it, more like a major creativity impulse that motivated me far more often than it sedated me. At the same time, it did not deter me from being able to wind down and go to sleep. Just all around godlike stuff.
If this kind of stuff is endangered, or extinct, then fuck.

Sorry you must have misinterpreted it, the pre-2000 mothers are not extinct, but VERY hard to find and sought after, so you really need good grower and breeder mates/contacts which is not easy to find.
And yes, especially in the younger generation of smokers, I very much doubt ANY would have tried the oldschool strains, as they just aren't available on the street anymore.
And I agree, I much prefer a psychoactive, creative, energetic canna high than just the slow, monged and not near as high effects I get from most stuff today, I mean obviously there are sativas today too, but it just isn't the same at all.
Nowadays it's all about making profit, people just want shinier and prettier buds grown as quickly as possible, while the oldschool stuff looked like shite but that doesn't matter, as the high more than made up for it.
