how does it feel for you?

I haven't smoked for about a year. I don't quite remember how I felt, but overall I was alert.

Gonna smoke pot and fly the plane. Probably because it's Boeing. When I smoke the pot I feel like im floating through space and my thoughts get really loud. And then you also get this numbing effect where your brain thinks about past experiences and how that effects the potential of the future. Kind of an interesting thought experiment.

@Leo Gura I’ve never smoked weed or vaped any psychedelics, so it’s hard for me to estimate. I was thinking of making a 1:2 cart and experimenting from there. Do you usually take just one inhale, or a few like with DMT?

It depends on the cannabinoid used and concentration of the cart. Sometimes one puff is enough for me, sometimes multiple puffs.

@Leo Gura, before vaping THC, have you tried smoking cannabis flower? If so, was the quality of the experience similar to when vaping only THC?

Have you also tried edibles? If so, was the experience different than vaping or smoking?

My advice is - don't cook your lungs.

Anything inhaled regularly - vaping / smoking / chroming.

Do not! 

Once your lungs are done you are fucked.

The more I tested cannabis flower, the more I became hesitant to feel its disgusting initial taste and smell, and to continue tolerating the pressure in my lungs.

However, I have never been a regular smoker. I just did it for testing.

In the future, insurance will cover new lungs.

No worries. You can just tell your AI:

"Breathe for me. Make no mistakes."

I guess if Δ⁹-THC is too potent for you, then after oral administration, the amount of metabolized 11-OH-Δ⁹-THC would be higher compared to inhalation, and probably, you'll be overwhelmed by the experience.

Did you have a lot of trips that were too much for you? I remember you said it was so potent you had to force yourself to do it. I'm wondering how the trips were when you had to force yourself, and how you manage that kind of fear.

Would you go back to tripping on weed if your health allowed it?

@moonawakening444, and I should say that for testing, I was smoking 1 or 2 pinches of grounded cannabis.

I don't know, perhaps the strain was the problem. If I remember correctly, it was the cheapest and the least potent one. However, I don't want to harm my lungs anymore.

Next time, I should probably try to vape some variant of THC.

@Leo Gura thanks for acknowledging both spiritual and addictive elements of smoking weed- most teachers are either/or in their perspective.

I personally only used recreationally and had to stop because it became addictive and really limited my life and Mind. It takes deep self reflection on how drugs affect us, and acceptance of our limitations with them.

Δ⁹-THC : 11-OH-Δ⁹-THC ≈ 1 (oral) and Δ⁹-THC : 11-OH-Δ⁹-THC >> 1 (inhalation), and the bioavailability of Δ⁹-THC is significantly higher when inhaled.

The total amount of Δ⁹-THC and 11-OH-Δ⁹-THC will be much lower when orally administered, and 11-OH-Δ⁹-THC has much higher affinity than Δ⁹-THC.

It would be interesting to know whether the above actually makes all people have much more intense experiences after oral administration of Δ⁹-THC or not. Why would the difference in ratio and total amount of the two cannabinoids make the trip qualitatively the same and also more potent when orally administered?
