It's where you putcher weed ...

For my 40th birthday I wanted to try a joint. Nothing. Drank a couple if things and took an edible, nothing. I didnt want to risk going from 0 to sick so I stopped.
I've tried tinctures and drinks since then, but I don't think I've ever felt high. With enough I just doze off. It doesnt even make me hungrier than usual.
Or I dunno maybe that's just what high feels like?
I am not usually annoyed with how people RP being intoxicated. I have no reference since I'm a square, and did not even try a sip of alcohol until my 21st birthday even. All of my irrational annoyance at people's RP when it is not my biz tends to revolve two other subjects, and you know, honestly its just better to let it go, esp if its only just supremely irritating rather than harmful.

@Sunny I wish my doctor's would consider the mj for pain.Trying to get referred for pain management is a joke. I've got two painful autoimmunes that I'm diagnosed with, and my doctor thinks I may have a third (please gods, no), but I can't get medical MJ? I don't WANT Morphine
Uh, but I digress. Sorry

Opioid epidemic and all, you would think these doctors (it's not all of them, it's really not) would WANT to work to help those of us who want to stay far far away from them. lolololololololololol I am so naive.
ETA: I'll even say it: the MJ was an off-the-record suggestion from a nurse. Nurses are the best. PAY NURSES MORE.

It blows my mind how easy it can be to get a nurse practitioner at a place.
...and also how worried places are to suggest it.'We're sorry but Dr. Soandso isn't taking new patients... but his nurse practitioner is?' and you can hear the tensing in their voice.
Like yes. Please. Let me see the nurse who can prescribe things for me, who has been on the front lines (as it were). 100%.As for weed: different strains do different things, for one. Indica and sativa, yadda yadda. Those who take it for pain management are usually gonna be taking an indica (or a hybrid). Those are the sedating, calming ones that usually have more of a 'body high' (and you can, if you're in a place with legalized, get ones bred specifically for this purpose). If you've smoked and just felt sleepy: it was probably an indica.
Sativas are the ones that get that more hyper, giggly, head-high (and might cause hyper-focusing since it's the 'creative' strain).
I tend to go for indicas myself (or sometimes a bit of a hybrid, like 80/20 just to keep from getting too zzzzzzzz) because of that functional high. My preferred strain is actually Blackwater (https://www.leafly.com/strains/blackwater). It doesn't get me as sleepy as it does some, but the relaxation/stress relief/pain relief is on point.
But seriously, if you live in an area where it's legalized: the people in stores are fucking awesome. You just say 'I'm looking for <X>...' and they will work with you however long to find what's perfect for you. That's how I found the CBD gel I like, my preferred strain, etc. Because of the awesome employees at the store I'd go to in Seattle.

I dunno how to RP drunk or high but I once had the pleasure of being in a sceen that Puffin ran where the characters brought haze. Some of us had it, some of us didn't. Those who smoked got a lower composure difficulty! So that's a thing!

I'd probably be dead if it weren't for nurses and budtenders. Budtenders are also super helpful people.

100%
I'm almost out of the CBD gel I like and since stuff bought in non-legalized states just isn't as good I'm sort of tempted to pester someone in a state it's available in to ship me some. I mean, it's CBD, not THC, so it'd probably be fine.But when I got it, I asked the girl about gel, using it on my joints, and she showed me the same stuff she began getting for her grandfather and oh god it works. Inflammation gone within five minutes. Before that stuff, when I'd get that painful-packed-with-cotton feeling in my knee and hip, I'd just have to... deal with it. But the gel? Works.
Even if you don't wanna get high, CBD gel > naproxen and similar, by far. (Mind, I am largely immune to naproxen and the like, so. Take with a grain of salt.)

The hemp-derived cbd is legal to ship federally in the US. I use Flow. It's worth investigating to see if you can do it.

Flow gel is the one I prefer! But the last I'd checked I couldn't get it shipped to me. I'll have to check again. At the time they were very limited in where they were shipping to. But, it's been a while. I stocked up a fair bit before I left Seattle, but I'm just about out so if I CAN get it now....

Fairwinds has 2 lines of Flow; one they're restricted on, one they claim ships everywhere in the US because hemp derived!

I don't wanna be That Guy, but weed was a net negative in my life and turned it into kiiiind of a living nightmare for a while. It was surprisingly easy to go from normal to shithouse rat crazy, it just took the right strain in the right concentration.
I guess what I'm saying is it's not all giggles and pain relief and you should be as cautious going into marijuana as you would any other potent psychoactive drug. Do your research and don't buy into the "miraculous gift from the Earth Mother that solves everything and could never ever harm you" bullshit that seems to make up about 95% of weed culture.
Also, could this maybe be its own thread?

HOWEVER, some people do have negative reactions to weed (paranoia, bad trips, etc) and I like to think the over-the-top portrayals are just this... people who have bad reactions (either due to an allergy, a bad reaction to chemical imbalances, etc) and shouldn't be smoking it in the first place. -
Another vote for a weed thread.

Weed either makes me really sleepy or fucking out-of-my-mind paranoid. It's a crap shoot on which way I go.

@reversed 'Munchies' seemed a bit too obvious.
