Title: Thinking of Trying Pot for the First Time!
Post by: iamglover on June 26, 2013, 02:13 am
First of all, I'm not all that "into" drugs - I have a chronic pain issue - a real one and Dr. incompetence and some good friends led me here so I could get opioids. But, I think that I treat my pain easier and cheaper with something like edible pot brownies. I've never tried it so could someone recommend something good for a first timer that would make sense?

Well, if you've never been high on cannabis and you start on medical grade cannabis then there is a good chance that you will not like it and will not continue to use it.  Maybe like a half a hit of med grade.  I wouldn't suggest you start on a medical brownie.  It's going to be intensely overwhelming for you because you have never been high where as it is just a normal state of relaxation and happiness for a smoker.

I remember my first time getting high on cannabis many decades ago on some red haired weed from Vietnam that we called "red bull" and it was very overwhelming to say the least.

Yah I was thinking of getting something like this and eating only a quarter or a half:

I am hesitant to go into a pot shop because I'm afraid their stuff is too strong for a first timer.

Hello,

I think pot is really good for pain.
I Think Green Crack or Super Silver Haze are energizing highs so you can use it on day without feeling tired (it is Sativa). Indica is better for helping you sleeping.

You could try that.  Remember that it takes a couple hours to take effect and he high when eating is very different than the high from smoking.  The high from eating cannabis is longer lasting, more trippy and gives you a more couchlock style high.  It also requires a higher dosage than smoking.

You can also make cannabutter with some hash oil, trim or bud.  Or you can heat cannabis or a cannabis substance to 150 degrees for like 12 minutes and eat it that way.  Or you can make green dragon.  Or you can make firecrackers.  There are many options.

The brownie idea is cheap and simple.  Go for it. :)

If you want to get technical then you should get a strain high in CBD.  CBD is the specific cannabinoid that is known to help with pain the most.

Yah the only reason I haven't tried it (YET) is because of some psych issues and but if I get something that makes me sleep I think I'll be fine because pain hits the worst at night and keeps me awake all freaking night.

Don't eat an edible your first time, it's like a trip in the sense that when you take it you are on for the ride, no getting off.

I'd smoke because you can say, "i'm done smoking, i'm high enough" when you're confortably high without being overwhelmed.

High CBD for pain and an indica strain for sleep.

I would suggest vaporizing an indica...not much at all, just one tap of it, that is much more effective than eating heavy brownies and chancing on them being doses heavier than you anticipate.  You can control what you inhale much more than what you digest.

Good luck, weed is a lovely thing so I hope you will embrace it when you try.

Peace and love and good things

Vaporizing isn't very effective for sleeping or pain because you are only getting the THC and not the CBD, CBN or other psychoactive terpenoids and substances in the cannabis.  It would also take a much higher upfront cost.

I'm not sure vaporizing would be easy for me... I need to do this without my roommate noticing, without stinking up my apartment building and without raising any red flags so I think eating a small amount should work? I dunno....

 chronicconfections by far has the best ediblesso far ALL THE EDIBLES iv gotten were terrible exept theirs. they are great potent and even distribution! my wife has cancer they work great for pain. i recomend the popcorn specifically because you can eat like 3-5 pieces and be fine! if you smoke it get straight indica more sativa means more head high! goodluck  ;D

If its your 1st time then eat a little bit then wait 45 mins-1hr cause it will take a while to kick in fully. If you eat too much your 1st time you probably wont like it and just make sure you dont drink the 1st time you use it and enjoy the bliss.

Potdoctor is awesome, he custom for me with cannatabs. Honey oil mixed with sugar sublingual! Can't wait to try! T as lk with him he is a great guy wants to make $ of course but seems genuine, he has gone way out of his wau for my wife. Stick with him and try chronicconfections! Dosing i would say check out erowid.org plsnts and drugs,they have accurate information. also cheeba chews have the mg of thc on pckg i believe,if so id so try and guesstimate about 25mg TO START(SUGGESTION THEY ARE VERY STRONG)

i cant remember how many mg an entire one is im sure it will say on the label. your going to hafta eyeball it but either dont eat enough OR eat WAAAAAAY to much so you just fall asleep and wake up rested and starving prob thirsty make sure you go to bed with a bottle of water lol you might be to lazy to WANT to move of course only if you go the way to much route say at night during a pain attack eat the whole chew drink a bottle of water youll pass out and wake up starving and rested! i did it the other day with that popcorn i told you about! lol 25mg prob perfect for morning when you wake up BEFORE breakfast because youll just get hungry again! and youll be pain free most of the day prob the whole day for a newb! oh and half im assuming might even make you pass out i always underestimate how strong concentrates can potentialy be for a person.
       have you done anything besides alcohol?

cthatpatrnovathr I think overestimating the power of the dosing is going to be key for me I have never, ever, in my entire life tried cannabis! So I have no idea how what will affect me so the less I consume the first, second and third time and the slower I consume it the better. Thanks for the tip about the water. That makes A LOT of sense.

I can't do alcohol because it have a lot wrong with my liver, pancreas and sometimes kidneys. SO I haven't even really tried that.

I do take Percocets right now my family is being difficult and trying to get me down to one 5mg of oxy per  day which, is SO stupid. My pain is much greater than that - so I'm taking a backdoor cannabis/ordering pills myself route to dealing with all of this.

pain pills ruined my life for a while car accident kidney stones etc...ended on heroin...opiates alter pain weed can get rid of it completely...also percs have tylenol get straight oxy if u really need opiates also eating weed mostly body high smoking is the head high. so if you eat to much worst thing possible is pigging oout and passing out. just make sure you hydrate or you will have a seriouos headache. kidney issues i like 100% cranberry juice......also get ground tumeric its a spice will help heal your liver its not flavor but everything its in will have a yellow tint,indian spices can change your WHOLE body...stomach problems grind up the inside of cardamom pods or do that so you can add a lot of cayanne powder which releases a ton of endophins it become addictive so the cardomom will coat your stomach and heal ulcer or prevent them from getiing off on food! lol
get into making your own curry i can give u a whole body healing recipe iv used dr couldnt believe the effect it had on me!

Pot Doctor-cheeba chews AND chronicconfections-popcorn IS FUCKING AMAZING i just did a lil custom popcorn added to my lollis and i already baught 3 bags that come tomorow or 4 bags cant remember.....lol you get either of those ypu will be ABOVE AND BEYOND SATISFIED start with the popcorn unless you like chocolate taffy........ the popcorn is litterally my favorite medible BETTER than the cheeba chews....also ask pot doctor about cannatabs after reading about then at there website  here www.organalabs.com

I'm not so sure the pills are ruining my life as much as my nausea/illness is. I'm very aware of the issue of addiction and have points of time in my life where there's been no pain so there's been no meds. I'll let my pain hit a 6-8 before I even consider pain meds 8-10 is time for the emergency room. I'm hoping though, that cannabis eliminates the addiction to pain meds and helps both my pain and nausea. Also I drink a ton of water so I'll just be double sure to drink more when I try the cannabis.

most common possible side effect is an anxiety attack just remember its all natural,your ok, itll be over soon, look into why you feel that way if not afraid and confront it you might even go somewhere and come out stronger after. i HAVE ONLY SEEN this with smoking it though but either way im gonna just put it out there for you i really hope the dose is right because iv honestly NEVER seen someone in pain eat good edibles and say that it isnt working well!
so have no fear  your GOOD  i hope you keep us all updated. good luck!

Wow this brings me back, my first time I got really high and it was a little uncomfortable (I still enjoyed it) so I would suggest taking small hits from a piece to get your feet in the water. If you are in a group don't try to keep up, I had a friend who tried to keep up with me and my other buddy (daily tokers) and he got way too high. He never touched weed again lol.

Pro tip: Only non-smokers, cops, and the 70s generation call it pot these days. If you don't fall into any of those categories, try to diversify your slang (don't over do it though). Weed and bud would be my recommendation.

Going to second (or rather 9th or 10th) the advice of buying some lower grade stuff and smoking it in small doses the first few times before starting on edibles.

Edibles kick arse, but as stated once you eat it, there isn't any going back. I have had edibles from a variety of sources (not SR, coffeeshops in the 'dam and old services like budmail) and sometimes have been disappointed, and sometimes I have been knocked entirely off the planet stone wise.

You might find that getting your own bud/hash and making your own cannabutter will be cheaper, too.


The alternative to edibles is vaping it, its ever so slightly less healthy but you can control the dose a lot easier.

Cheers O.P. for giving cannabis a try. Sounds like it would be greatly beneficial to you, and help relieve some pain. I can also concur with those who've recommended chronicconfections. The popcorn was awesome b/c it's broken up in tiny pieces so you can consume however much you want. I've also tried their rice krispie treats as well, and it was intense, off just 1/2 the treat. So yeah definitely be careful with dosing. I've found that once most people get thru the intro stage of confusion with weed not knowing what you're doing..then things get easier. In general, smoking will be a quicker high, not lasting as long. Whereas edibles will generally take a little longer to kick in, be more mellow, & they will be longer-lasting.

Yah I fall into the "non-smoker" category and want to maintain that look around friends and family but have been trying to use the term "Cannabis" more often and "Medical Marijuana" too since that is what it is.

I think Edibles is going to be best for me - I can't make my own either because, my roommate will smell it and that wont be helpful. My Roomie would be really worried if I suddenly started making my own edible treats - besides I'm lazy so getting it already made is fine - I just need to be able to eat it safely.

iamglover, vaporizing may be an option for you where you are worried about your room mate.  It cuts down on the smell alot, but not completely, but its way less than with smoking or cooking.  You can use a sploof (just take a discarded toilet paper roll and stuff with dryer sheets, blow the vapor through it) to cut down on smell significantly.  You can buy a vaporizer that is sold for aromatherapy, and if anyone asks, there's your alibi  :D Hope that helps as the medical nug definitely helps a lot of people, and should never be frowned upon by anyone.
