    It’s not for everyone–some people have very strong reactions to it, but they may also have strong reactions to alcohol and nicotine. Alternatively, most people get zonked out of their gourd from between many weeks and many months when trying antidepressants or anxiolytics. Weed is probably not different in that regard.

      I hit a joint like 4 times. I didn’t really feel any effects, it just felt uncomfortable going in. I also downed a regular orange juice sized tall glass of whisky, took a while to take effect but oh boy did I feel that. I just don’t like not feeling like myself I think. Don’t like feeling under the influence of anything. I avoid meds for that reason too unless they’re necessary.

        Yeah I figured that was the case. I have also not enjoyed feeling like I’ve lost control, which made it hard for me to get on to weed in the first place. I have since learned that it is a great medication for me and makes my life better, but I had to get through a lot of anxiety first. Now I don’t feel it at all.

        If you hit a joint 4 times on top of a cup of whisky and didn’t feel it, you didn’t smoke it right. No offense meant, it’s really common for people to not understand how to inhale smoke properly when they start.
