opiates vs pot

[Bonnie100]

Hi,
I have a question since i'm having a hard time scoring my "tabs". I have not done pot since way in high school and don't remember it much. Some times it states you get a euphoria feeling from it. Does it seem at all similar between doing lortabs or just smoking a little pot? I just don't want to get all groggy and out of it, but more happy and euphoric like tabs. I hope someone can tell me? Thanks

Every drug affects every one a little different. Some people find smocking pot to be very euphoric, while others find that it only makes them tired or anxious and paranoid. I find it to be very useful in holding my sanity together while going through WD or a wonderful potentiator when mixed with opiates. I haven't heard of many people having an adverse reaction to it so I suggests you just get some and smoke so you can answer your own question. While I have heard that THC can have some sort of affect at the Kappa receptors I don't think it is much like an opiate, but that doesn't mean that it isn't enjoyable.

I have to agree with the above post. Everyone experiences something different.
You can take the above suggestion and try a bit to see the type of effect you will have or you can wait to score.
Either way, it is your call. I won't make any suggestions and advocate you go and score some pot, but if you do, maybe a small amount to start with is the best way to go.

I've smoked alot of marijuana in my lifetime and I never liked how it made me feel. It ruined alot of days and nights. It always made me feel paranoid. I think I was just smoking it because I was young (13) and there wasn't anything better. Plus I had an endless free supply. Marijuana is nothing like Lortabs for me. Marijuana has no euphoric effects, I find the effects to actually be dysphoric. Pain becomes worse, emotional problems become worse, and sometimes I felt like I was in a nightmare and that I was truly never going to get out of the shitty buzz it gave me. SWIM smoked some about 2 months ago and became very flushed and hot. SWIM had to lie down on his bed and try to keep calm because he started hallucinating and became genuinely afraid of what the pot had done to him. After about an hour the feeling went away and SWIM was very happy it did. SWIM will never smoke pot again because his last experiences with it have all been almost identical. Hallucinogens in general make SWIM feel panicky and scared and SWIM truly wonders if he is in hell when it happens. The only hallucinogen SWIM never had any adverse effects from was DXM. Nothing scary ever happened to SWIM while on DXM. If i wanted to get an opiate type high without opiates I would take DXM and loperamide possibly or I would order some Kratom. Marijuana is a waste of money. It's so easy to grow and is worth more than gold per ounce. People pay 10$ a gram here if they have no connections and thats just a rip off for any weed hydro or not. People in the U.S pay more in some places and it's shitty weed lots of the time. So save your money it's not very good. IMHO Pot will just suck your energy right out of you worse than lortabs or morphine or heroin and you'll be really really hungry. But marijuana does effect people differently so it may make you happy but I doubt you'll feel euphoric. No one I know feels euphoric while on pot.

Weed is a beautiful high, I love getting high almost more than getting opiated. (sometimes atleast) It is true that some people get all paranoid on it, but I have never heard of anyone hallucinating. That just proves the point that every drug affects everone differently. I love doing an opi - then getting high as fuck on some Skunk. Ohhh man thats the god shit. I doubt that I will always be doing opiates, but I am pretty sure I will always be toking the buda.

Aw, man! I miss smokin' Last time was December 27th 1997. Hash. I have since "gone underground." People that have seen my posts and gotten to know a little bit about me will understand.

Wish I could still toke it up, but it just wouldn't fit with my life now, and it definitely made me think a little bit too slow. Opies are like a stimulant to me (to a point, sometimes if it's too much, I pretty much pass the fuck out), and I think anyone who opies have that effect on is pretty much going to be an addict.

I smoked every single day from when I was about 15 years old until 26 years old, and if I didn't it wasn't my fault.

SWIM is an occasional user of opiates but a frequent (4+ times a week) user of pot. He definately finds weed euphoric, but as others have said, everyone takes away something different from a given drug. With pot, there is another factor. The type and quality of weed makes a huge difference. Indica strains tend to make you tired, relaxed, and groggy, these are the ideal "medical marijuana." Sativa strains are more cerebral and euphoric. SWIM has also found that the higher the quality, the "cleaner" the high. Something like heroin is, for SWIM at least, orders of magnitude more euphoric than pot, so the more often you use opiates, the less euphoric pot will seem in comparison. That being said, Pot will always be SWIM's drug of choice. It's cheap, fun, non-addictive and one can function fairly well on it.

I feel somewhat the same as Ontario_O , even though I had extreme access to weed and smoked it all the time, I always felt like an outsider in the culture and was always paranoid and worse anxious as hell. I only feel normal on Opiates. When I drink I feel alright because I can somewhat forget my worries,on morphine I can face my troubles without fear or hiding (even if I needed a boost of cofidence from a drug). I always feel like I am on a elevator sober. I am so disoriented and just wait to see what floor I am on when the doors open feeling a little wierd when people get on or off. I can't stand that the only thing that makes me feel normal, or happy (other than family of course) it unlawful to use in that sence.

I like them both.

I get into more trouble with opiates than with buds, though.
The wife is a smoker, but hate opioids - makes her sick.

Oh well, in a few days, I will be able to start enjoying
them once again after a LENGTHY HIATUS (whiz quiz).

At least it ain't a JIZZ QUIZ. That would be uncool :)

Well I'm back with a really bizaar question, just wasn't gonna start a new thread. I tried to do opium tea, like 2 lbs roughly. I did not seem to do much. I was wondering if anyone new if poppy seeds from Canada (since I'm so close) would be better. I don't think they regulate where they get shit from as much as US. Well it's worth a shot asking. Maybe I'll get some from the bulk store up there.

Personally, I think that the buzz you get from opiates and marijuana is different. I tend to get happy and laugh alot when I smoke pot. When I take my pills, they tend to make me somewhat pissed off, almost mean. I don't know why, but it's always been like that for me. But yet when I shoot opiates, it pretty much knocks me out. I love the feeling of nodding, for me, it's the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!

My 'friend' likes both, and uses both everyday. Both are essential for optimal experience IHO. He smoked pot first daily for many years and has just been doing ops daily for the past couple years. Lately though he has been finding that there sometimes is some inhibition of the op after smoking like the effects have been considerably altered - strange, but mostly it is potentiation for the better. I disagree that pot is not addictive - look in a PDR for marinol (synthetic) and read the risk of dependancy and withdrawal symptoms. Definately not as severe as op, but definately there is withdrawal. Hardly physical, but a bitch mentally - I've read somewhere it is the hardest psychological addiction to break. To answer your question though, my friend finds that if there is no op around erbals can help a lot, but not completely. Best to mix the two in his op. (no pun intended). By the way, high grade is essential - don't bother with dirty commercial (which youll usually get off the street) or even (for him) mids. He smokes the highest quality available. Absolutely must not have any seeds. It is expensive.

My experience is probably typical of folks in my age group (I'm 44), I was turned on to weed at 16 yrs old and didn't discover opiates until a few years later. I smoked pretty much all the time, eventually taking up selling it to help with the costs. My dad has been smoking since he was in his early 30's, and still does at 66 yrs old. About the only time I toke up anymore is when he comes over or we go to his place. I recall an incident just a little while after I had started smoking. Pop and I had gone to a friend's house to grill out and generally just get wasted. We were drinking Canadian Mist and the friend produced a bag of what he called Maui Wowee, it just looked like homegrown, all green and I didn't see any buds (that doesn't mean there weren't any though). We sparked it up and I was already a little buzzy from the Mist. By the time it came around the third time, I was completely blasted and decided (wisely) not to hit it again. Within a couple of minutes I was so f**cked up I actually did start to hallucinate! I knew I needed to lay down, and Pop's LTD was just a few feet away, so I figured on getting to the back seat and crash. I never made it to the back seat. While I was walking, I passed out and fell down, hitting my head on the driveway (ouch!), well that's what they told me anyway. In MY mind, I was walking toward the car and all of a sudden I jumped up into the air to do a back flip. I actually did several back flips before I "missed" one time and hit the ground, so when I "came to", that's what I thought had happened!

We all had a good laugh later, and I was afraid to smoke any for about a week. Didn't take long before I was back to smoking full-time though. Several years ago, I decided to quit selling AND smoking it. I went cold turkey and did experience a serious mental withdrawal for months, and it was several years before I smoked again. Now I only smoke it once in a while, and I still love it, but I don't want to be mentally dependant on it again. It's bad enough that I drink a lot and do Morphine every day, I don't need yet another addiction to worry with!

Pot makes me sort of anxious. I think about how I'm not where I want to be in life, and how I've wasted my life...being stoned is depressing for me. I get sort of philosophical but in a negative way, so I don't smoke.
