Marijuana Reaction Time?

[ifcked]

How long does it usually take for you to get your first "high" feelings? How about your peak?

I myself don't start to get high until 5-6 minutes after taking the first hit and don't peak until about 15-20 minutes in; however, most of my friends say that they're baked after the third hit.

Am I wierd or are they? Or both?

[Joshy]

no same here mate, it depends how often u smoke tho

[-inefficiency-]

Depends on how often you smoke, how strong the weed is, what mental state you're in and if your friends are pussies :P.
Most of my friends are baked after one of my joints, but I need a nother one or two to get to the same level as them, then by that time they're totally wasted. I get pretty strong weed though, jsut what I'm used to, however all their weed sucks and I don't enjoy smoking it at all. Guess its just one of those things about being able to get kickass weed...

ok,i havnt smoked much but heres what happens for me: i get the peak while smoking one joint and when im done smoking it(like 1 minete after im done with the joint),the efect wears of ALOT and the buzz is so small that i cant tell if im high or just in a good mood.

is this normal?

[donnie darko]

Whoa when you say when you peak imn kinda thinking were talking bout actual drugs as a bit of green or hash you dont exactly get a peak of sorts more like a general feeling of being stoned which would be really hard to explain to someone who never smoked before.

as said before it depends on the shit you iz smoking, but ive know myself smoke a fair few spliffs before the end of a day and times when 1 spliff has kicked my ass for more than a couple of hours.


all you can really think about is the the fact that shit depends on shit depending and nothing else, its just a whole fuck load of factors.

God i miss my lightweight sessions when i first started smoking but now its just a different feeling thats all

I only smoke small amounts of weed these days, with the peak hitting a minute or two after the joint. If you get up and do something it takes longer, if you relax it hits you harder. Recently I have started soaking some of my joints in scotch and leaving them to dry for a day - something I picked up from these forums. Interesting results. The taste of the weed is suppressed somewhat, making for a very smooth smoke even when rolled much stronger than normal. For a long-term smoker like me the taste triggers the first feelings of relaxation as my body anticipates the effects, so the soaked joints take a little longer to kick in. It's a good feeling though - a nice mellow feel that seems to last a lot longer than normal joints. I thoroughly recommend this method. It's a good idea to moisten these joints before smoking though, or they burn too fast. This is probably the result of sugar left behind by the scotch.

By peak I mean when the feelings gt the strongest. I can have "high" feelings like being all giggly and shit for some time before I "peak" and start seeing things in a slideshow fashion and then start to wonder whats going on and reaaally zone out.

Yesterday my "peak" was so delayed from the time that I smoked (I think an hour or so). I had smoked went inside this kid's house to play cards. Sat for an hour, got up to get another drink, and then boom it hit me hard. I was just like wtf? This was a different (worse) kind of weed than I had been usually smoking, too.

I don't know what the fuck is wrong with me, lol. My reaction times are all fucked up. It's kind of nice though to be happy/giddy for an hour and then peak and shit.

[Steve_TPF]

Never had anything that took that long to peak. Either it was a funny batch (laced with something?) or you are a bit strange. I get the strongest feelings a minute or two after smoking, like I said. But I don't get "happy" as such unless I'm with friends and have something to set me off. Normally I just relax, and become more thoughtful.

[ifcked]

Really doubt it was laced with anything. I'm probably wierd. I'm fine with that though, lol.

[Bongermann]

I take a few bowls to get to where I want, which is where everyone else gits after 3 hits of my shit... I know what you mean though, it depends on what strain the weed is. Sativa's are quicker for me, Indica's are slower. Tolerance is important to figure in too. And so is the content of THC over THCV. More of the latter is a quicker, more clear, onset, more of the previous is a slower onset, and a fuzzy feeling.

[Joshy]

on my bday i had a small joint then a massive strong one about 3 hrs later and i puked i hadnt smoked in 3 weeks but ive had much more before y did this happen?

[donnie darko]

its weird that sometimes when you get into a pure session (sessh) you can smoke and smoke and smoke and then other times you just smoke a few and you're like totally fucked in a good way but unable to smoke more.

Back in the day i found everything kicks in when after hours of smoking you decide "i need a piss" which happened to be some of my famous last word before prayin to the porcilin god which when startin you do a far bit of but hey that life, the bad thing is when you get that fucked and simnply standin up fucks wit ya then nothing is stop-pin you from layin in the the most comfortable place in the world the bog for hours on end.

Strange me sitting here remembering times long gone and past that i almost feel i miss them in a weird sort of way - does anyone feel the same

answers on a postcard

When I smoke I feel the full effects either when I'm smoking the stuff or about 30 seconds - 2 minutes after.

I have really good quality stuff lately so I feel it straight after the first or second toke.

[Syrus]

i highly recomend a nice creamy b if you want to feel the effects really quick

Heh, coming back to this thread now much more experienced. I have found that the amount of time to start feeling the weed is usually 1 minute or so depending on what type of weed and what type of smoking device I am using. I do still remember that time where my first high instance what realllly reallly late (>1 hr). That was realllly wierd/

A couple of days ago, me and my buddies cooked up some weed and ate it. It took ages to take effect, so we started smoking. The bong we smoked seemed to "activate" the weed we had eaten because, christ we were stoned. More stoned than if we had just smoked the bong.

I'm thinking the weed we ate was just starting to kick in when we smoked the bong.

I'd definately reccomend eating some weed sometime, the effects can be quite potent. If you have the patience to wait for it :P

[blacknhidden]

How did you cook it? What did you put it in? brownies like everyone does? Some kid got in the news not long ago here for putting alot of weed in the brownies he brought to school, i thought it was pretty funny.

[-inefficiency-]

We made cannabutter and then made it into these weird cookie things that my buddy makes. Check this out.

Then on the way to a party we were doing "bombs" in the car. Which is a method Kaos has mentioned before. You just wrap some weed up in a rolling paper and swallow it. I don't really like the idea of it, but it worked.

Finally when we got to the party, we had our bongs and it all hit.

Back to the subject at hand:

Erowid states that the effects of smoked cannabis last 1-4hours with the peak being somewhere around 30mins.


Image from Erowid.

Consumed Cannabis lasts 4-10 hours and the peak is at 2-5 hours.

Now, even though Erowid is generally always right, something like this is hard to measure as it all depends on the person.

It takes me a few minutes to start feelin it. Like last night we had a pipe and we were hitting it hard for a few minutes but we ran out and felt fine for a minute or two, then I lite a cig menthal by the way and then it hit I was like wow I couldent see straigh and my buddy took a minute the he just laid down and stared at the ceiling for a while. It was good weed by the way, homegrown.

[yankee1231]

It usually takes me 2-3 mins to start feeling it, then peak at around 15-20 mins. Weed is fun.

[S7@1T3D]

Im not sure but 3 cones(bongs) seems to be the magic number for me and my mates.
By that i mean its the least amount you need before really feel anything.

Supporting this is the fact that i had one cone the first time i smoked and done nothing at all. 2nd time i smoked i had 3 cones and was high and giggling like a school girl. The 2nd time was at least 3months after the 1st try.
