Most of what I hear about medical marijuana reminds me too much of this for me to take it very seriously:

Can you actually smoke yourself retarded? Are past over the top pothead portrayals accurate? What is life?

Like, permanently? No. Definitely not. And most highs aren't going to be anywhere near that, so these portrayals are, for the most part, grossly inaccurate.

With that said, I also lived with dealers in college and smoked on a daily or near-daily basis as a result, so I had a fairly high tolerance. And even so, there was one particular night when I managed to get high enough that all I could do was sit on the couch with my head flopped back against the cushions, because holding it up was entirely too much to expect of me. At that point, I was actively expending effort not to drool on myself.

Getting that fucked up takes a good deal of time, effort, and very strong pot. It's definitely possible! I also don't recommend it.

@Aria I had to ask my hipper, younger friends about smoking weed after this and they definitely said the worst thing they've ever done is strong bong hits. They both advised against it and said they threw up. I can see why you wouldn't recommend it.

The first time I was ever handed a bag from a Volcano. I was told to just inhale the whole thing.

...do not inhale the whole thing on your first try. I just sort of sat there, head spinning. Too much is definitely more of a body hit and just sort of ... yeah like @Aria described. It's not usually the 'stupid pothead' that over-the-top people RP as (and even then if they're just RPing toking casually over time.... they'd prob be more a functional pothead than a dumb one!).

Bongs don't hold enough water. Jerry cans can help.

Take one of these:

And one of these:

Get some of this:

And one of these:

And do the following:

1. Drill a hole in the back of the can large enough for the tubing.
2. Stick the stainless steel tubing down the back of the can, wide-end up. It should be long enough to coil a little at the bottom.
3. Affix the tubing with the glue gun, and make sure the seal is airtight.
4. Remove the washer from the gasket and put a small piece of netting there.
5. Drill a small hole in the handle, where your thumb might go.

Fill the can with water up at least halfway, and add aromatic liquids in there if you want -- wine, beer, something alcoholic and not acidic. Put your bud on the screen, light, and pull with your thumb on the small handle hole. Remove thumb to shotgun the smoke.

This is my college jerry bong. You're welcome.

There are indications that marijuana affects brain development:

Ain't gonna lie, when I saw the gas can I was assuming a sturdier, larger gravity bong.

I once had a friend pull this out of his garage to throw away:

An exacto knife, longer tubes and some epoxy cause I wasn't hip to glue guns. His hand held the bowl/stem.

Just for those interested, an article about Cannabis-induced psychosis, which was my official diagnosis. There's evidence that certain genetic factors increase the risk, but there is still a risk of CIP without them.

I remember one night, my then super pot smoking ...whatever our relationship was, made a bong out of a watermelon. That was actually pretty enjoyable.

Also when he packed the bong with fresh fallen snow. That was super smooth.

@Wizz Yeah, it's a fairly common thing. Cannabis can be great, but it's medicine and should be used with care.

By the way, for me, I don't smoke, but prefer to vape whole flower from an ArizerEQ. Best machine on the market.
