I'm not tryna be a hater but weed is supposed to be natural and doing all this to get higher is pretty much chasing a high like crackheads do, this is how people become addicts.

The funniest thing in the world watching pot heads deny they addicted. It's almost funnier than that one friend looking for their vape.
Edit: you niggas justifying it in response to this comment prove my point. An addiction is an addiction, you're sick. Get some help.
Agreed. Some people drink coffee all day, some people just take a cup in the morning, or get their caffeine through other means. They are still all addicted and dependent on caffeine. Some have a healthier habit than others. Some do 20 dabs an hour, some smoke a bowl or two every now and then.
I'd compare it to porn. Some people have a serious addiction that needs attention. Doesn't mean others can't consume it responsibly.
We all have our vices, it is absolutely important to form boundaries though.
The problem with weed is that you do not get addicted to it but get addicted to being high. Going to the movies? Get high. Dinner out? Get high. Chilling at home? Get high. People say that because it’s It’s not a physical addiction like crack or cocaine but it’s a psychological one.
This is the correct answer. It’s not addictive like other drugs are. It’s also hardly a gateway drug. Ffs I’d rather my underage kid smoke weed than say drink alcohol…..
Both of which should be fully legal and available to people who are old enough and aren’t felonious. Stop criminalizing drugs, normalize them, educate you children and don’t make it like a big red button that parents yell DONT PRESS.
>It’s not addictive like other drugs are.
It's not **physically** addictive. But **psychologically** will fuck you up almost as much, and for far, far longer.
Fuck me, I'd say psychologically addictive is way harder. The body may not crave it, but your head won't let it go and you can't do *shit* about that.
Dude I’ve stopped smoking weed cold Turkey multiple times and the worst that happened was I didn’t sleep great for a few days. Ymmv, this psychological addiction everyone is talking about is just that…. Psychological.
I quit smoking cigarettes cold Turkey and let me tell you if you think weed is “addictive”, nicotine took years to reset whereas weed was like 1-3 weeks and really not a big deal.
Nicotine and Alcohol are addictive, marijuana hardly.
I have a month long T-break every 3 months to keep my tolerance low and avoid paying increasingly more. Some people take 100 THC at a time and barely feel it. I never want to get to that point.
I’ve been cigarette free for 3 years and it took a global pandemic locking me down at home for it to happen (I have children so I didnt smoke at home). Yet, I still crave a cigarette every day.
Quit weed 7 years ago and I havent even thought about smoking since.
Weed is definitely the least addictive drug out there. I’d have a harder time giving up sugar and caffeine than weed.
I stopped smoking 4 or 5 years ago. I still crave a cigarette when work or life is stressful. Unfortunately with my job that's almost an everyday occurrence as well.
But I can easily go without weed and not crave it. But I also use it in a very small dose (one or two edibles at most for the night).
Now alcohol was way worse. I found it harder to quit than smoking. I used to be a daily drinker years ago, but now only have a beer or two every few weeks.
I'll never give up caffeine.
Cigarettes was literally the hardest stop ever for me. I stopped for 4 years at one point, got hooked again stupid easy. Took the birth of my first kid and being told I couldn’t hold my baby after smoking to quit cold turkey. Most miserable time ever…. (Stopping the ciggies, not the kid).
‘Psychologically addictive’ isn’t a thing. Having an emotional dependency on something is what I think you meant. That is far from addiction. You can have an emotional dependency on anything. After a long day some people drive home as fast as they can to play video games. Any type of escapism can become and emotional crutch.
Addiction is a physical dependence on something. Trying to say the ‘psychological addiction’ of weed is worse than the physical addiction of any drug is misleading at best. Anyone who has ever withdrawed from opiates would laugh at someone claiming to have withdraws from weed.
I’ve been financially fasting from weed for like 60 days now. First thirty was just the psychological craving of going through the motions of my smoke routine. Now, I periodically miss it, but I’m fine without it.
Hmmmm it’s two weeks if you just smoke weed but if you smoke blunts the tobacco is gonna make it a little harder, but weed takes about two weeks to get out of the habit
100%.
i had a friend like that, id come over to just say hi or go grab a bite and this dude had to do a dab before each step. He didnt have anxiety or anythin he claimed, just wanted to do EVERYTHING high. I'm someone who used to smoke a little for anxiety/pain relief but i couldnt stand the mental lag being high gives me but this dude lived on it. It got to the point having a decent convo with him was like losing a brain cell, he had no motivation to do anythin besides sit at home and smoke.
k, but til there's something else people do to get the exact high that weed does, imma say they addicted to weed.
I'm not addicted to WoW, I'm addicted to loot.
I know I'm addicted but I've got a grasp on its impact on my life and I think it's positive, and that's literally how every decision is made about everything you put in your body. Just because I'm addicted doesn't automatically make it a crippling disease.
I don’t smoke weed, but I agree with your sentiment. The only thing I’d add to it though, is it’s very hard for the individual to see the negative effects any substance has on them while they’re using that substance. I, for one, can not and could not grasp the true impact anything was having on my life/future while I was ‘in it’. I don’t have that internal machinery in me 🤷♂️
I take a 30-45 day break every other month to reset my damn tolerance smh. Guess I can see how it can be a gateway 'drug' for some. Nigga be blasted for 9 minutes then its like damn, roll up another one.
Hey I just quit a week ago. I’m fucking craving all the time. I just cut my lawn today and I wanted to grab my weed and hit it. But I didn’t. Have a dr appointment in 2 weeks they want me clean for blood work.
A bit of both for me. I'm 100% addicted to nicotine, no doubt about it, but I'm also pretty bad with weed. I figured if I could start eating my weed I could start looking at quitting nicotine but the problem is I like the combination of weed and tobacco. Eating it hits different, vaping it hits different, smoking a bowl hits different. That weed and tobacco combo though? Oof. That's got me good.
Oh, shit. Just now realizing the spliffs I used to roll in college might've contributed to the 4 years of vaping I did after I graduated and quit smoking weed.
"it isn't addictive and there is no withdrawal. Anyway I have to smoke a bowl before I eat you the sight of food makes me physically ill"
I will give them that it is one of the least addictive drugs, but these morons are living life like that is a challenge to be overcome.
Yeah I smoke everyday and still get my shit done but it’s definitely a dependance.
I also use it to stop myself dreaming due to chronic nightmares though and when I did stop for 3 weeks a month or so ago I slept so bad cause I was scared to go to sleep.
I absolutely hate dabs. I was always a smoker who stood by the purity of weed. Just a plant that gets you high if you burn it and inhale the smoke. That dab shit adds unnecessary steps to a process that's supposed to be natural and that's when it becomes too much.
not to mention, the THC concentration of dabs is so high, your tolerance sky rockets almost immediately. so then you have to hit bigger and bigger beads to feel anything
just watching an ex hit a dab rig every day that made him cough so hard I was worried for his physical safety was enough to make me never want anything but flower.
even edibles sketch me out. sometimes 15 mg is enough to put me out for a day, other times I don’t feel it at all. and these are medical grade, batch tested, etc. there should be some consistency, but it’s like rolling a dice. do not like it, au naturale pls
My theory on edibles is that it depends on your metabolism during that time. When you don't feel your usual dosage working, you may just have slower metabolism that day.
I guess mines way real slow. I tried out some gummies with my friends, and while one of them was out like a light, I was feeling fine. And that was my first time trying to get high too.
Everyone is different, you might not be able to get high at all from edibles. If I don't have any edibles for months, my first time back I always need a little more than my usual dose or I only feel slightly floaty.
It takes experimenting and you can even keep a notes doc to track how you feel.
You’re 100% right about the inconsistency of edibles. Same bag of 10mg gummies will have some that hit like a train and others that seem not to do anything.
Last night i took a 10mg gummy didn’t feel anything after 3 hours so i took another 10mg. Still didn’t feel anything after another 2 hours (5 total) so I took a few hits from a preroll. I don’t know why but the preroll was like an activator for the edibles and I was suddenly in outer space and had to lie on the floor because I could tell I would’ve fainted if I remained standing.
These were Kiva gummies btw, which are supposed to be “top shelf”.
You want consistent? The venerable punch bar is the answer. I don't know how that company has done it, but they have been consistent in their dosing since its inception however long ago. Across a decade I have never had an iffy dose from them.
Dabs are unnecessary , if you need a blowtorch to smoke your shit you should reconsider your habit like it just takes so much effort to do that when I can just smoke a J and be fine.
i don’t understand how anyone can want to be that high. after a certain point, i just get insane anxiety and paranoia it’s not even fun. i smoke most days and a .3 joint is enough to get me melted.
Once you dab you can’t go back. Seen it happen to a lot of my friends. Imagine smoking with your friends and you’re the only one who can’t get high off the flower.
This is my thing. If you're distilling the thc out of the plant and pairing terps with it, you're looking for a purified hit of the drug. You have a problem. Sometimes pens can be useful, especially when you just want to take a little hit and be discreet, but just like with nicotine vaping...you're seeking out and ingesting a purified hit of the active drug.
I mean... yes? I'm not downplaying shit, I can't stand people acting like THC somehow is different from other drugs. Crack ain't physically addictive either but crackheads are real, same as meth. *But*, it's not like people just appreciate weed for its looks. There's a reason they don't eat raw flower. The only reason to smoke weed is the heat activating the THC. Fact is everyone that's smoking weed is already doing so for the high, aside from CBD and a small minority of medical users. The problem isn't that they've changed it from its natural form even though an aversion to that is very much natural in itself. In most cases, purification of drugs is done to eliminate unnecessary harms. There is a completely reasonable position of vaporizing one hit of a pen being better for your lungs than half a joint. Edibles and other concentrates save your lungs altogether. It's, like all other drugs, simply being abused by some people and the form isn't the issue.
Not allowing people in hospitals access to pain meds can be flat out cruel, but these same drugs being used in 20x doses on the streets tend to look differently; who does them, how, how it affects others and them, any negative externalities come down to use vs abuse. Xanax can give people with PTSD induced panic disorders a whole life back, or it can make a person who abuses benzos never remember a day and become a different person to others, literally erasing their own life.
The dosage and responsible use is the diffence. Even if the dosage is high with dabs, no one makes you take the last bus to blinkerton or dab a half gram. That's their choice. Just like you don't smoke like snoop or wiz Khalifa. Wiz is arguably even more "natural just weed", he promoted the fuck outta papers back in the day vs blunts but try and keep up for half an hour and see if you get shit done that day.
Ingesting the purified hit of an active drug lmao
Yes drugs are made of drugs, and indeed drug users do use drugs to get high.
Thank you for your insights
I mean no one really neeeeds to be high at all lol, most stoners get high because they \*want\* to get high. Even medicinal uses of weed aren't like... literally preventing death or disease. If im just getting high for fun imma min max for sure lol
Same argument could've been made when weed changed from outdoor grows to indoor with much higher thc levels. Efficiency doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing. If you want to be real, indoor and higher quality grows are actually more likely to be better for you than the many outdoor grows that use pesticides.
I used to be a big stoner and it’s pretty similar. I saw a lot of people fuck up their lives because they only wanted to get high and did anything to do it
I agree. Too much extra shit these days. How how do motherfuckers need to get? I like a nice buzz and I’m straight. Been smoking for over 18 years and never felt the need to chase a high.
Yeah this is one of those things that’s plainly obviously a sign of a problem. Like the people who drink so much they can’t get beer or wine drunk anymore and have to switch to hard liquor to catch a buzz. Bro you got a problem.
I live in a state where weed is legal, and weed is getting worse. The shit is too fucking strong now. I miss my mellow highs, but these stoners are trying to have a goddamn panic attack every time they smoke.
“Cannabis is habit forming in the sense that all things worth doing are worth repeating”
Interesting article, not all who use cannabis are brain dead stoner zombies.

Some of use find a positive use for it.
This why I can’t do dabs or all that other shit. Anything beyond smoking a J every couple of weeks is a no go for me.
If I gotta upload my weed into some strange contraption, enter the secret code, and then do the required hand signs before smoking it then I might as well do hard drugs.
Preach it! I’ve been saying this for a good minute
It’s natural UNTIL you start fucking with concentrates
Concentrates don’t appear in nature, they are only created through man made intervention like designer drugs.
It’s gotten to the point that I’m afraid of getting too high. There is a huge difference between puffing a J and taking a dab, anyone who claims otherwise is probably already stoned.
Anyone who says weed is not addictive is fucking lying, or they just don’t know better. Had almost this exact conversation with a friend last week about how I’ve been doing more dabs because flower doesn’t do it for me anymore, or I have to smoke an absurd amount. I’m making an effort to cut back, but Its a struggle, literally chasing the dragon.
That’s why I never did dabs, that looked like some Crackhead shit. Really reduced my intake overall. Just because you can smoke weed all day everyday get super high and not die like you would with booze, doesn’t mean you should.
This. I've had moonrocks on a few occasions and them shits hit stupid and don't even have the flavor of the weed underneath anymore. Best to use these like a garnish or a seasoning for your blunt because smoking them straight starts to feel like you're not messing with weed anymore
> "weed drenched in live resin and covered in thc-a powder"
psychosis speedrun. At this point, just put the weed DOWN

get this mad scientist off the streets!!
Hanging around too many of his friends who are getting high to run away from their problems. Most people are trying to chill and this guy wants to ride a fucking spaceship into the sun.
I really think the refinement of drugs is a symptom of late stage capitalism. The world is just too real and ragged and everyone needs a way to escape that shit even if it's into your mind.
Imagine if people, real working people, could just take a vacation on a regular basis or go camping or get seen by a doctor for their chronic pain without getting a medical bill the size of a small nation's GDP.
People smoking themselves into the 5th astral plane because they live in a food desert and walk with a limp.
Like you aren’t wrong but my dude people having been chasing the dragon since before the invention of modern capitalism. Physical addiction and chemistry alone can push it. We are engineered to if we like something want more of it. Not everything ties back to late stage capitalism this is a human issue.
if you try to hit this on a smoke-break, you won't be going back to work. you're gonna wake up like this

This the type of shit that’s part of the reason why I quit, imagine bringing the fuckin xenomorph eggs from Alien to the function. But, yeah call it out and you get called a square🙄
This product is double stupid, super high THC content is kinda dumb to begin with but this method of "processing" also just makes it a pain in the ass to consume.
Like how tf are you even supposed to break it up without making your hand or grinder super messy smh.
Also most likely won't burn well by itself so now you need to combine with regular weed just to light it. Smh we need to bring back hash lol
Use scissors you don't care about, but make sure they are sharp. Cut a few pieces off and then add to a bowl/joint/blunt but make sure it's surrounded by actual flower. So if it's a bowl add a little flower, a couple pieces of the space elevator, then top with more flower. If it's a roll up, sprinkle flower in to make a nice bed, add little pieces throughout the length and then cover with the rest of the flower. Basically you need everything around it to also be hot to work right. The other option is look like a fiend with a blow torch or some shit.
Or just smoke some weed like a normal person.
This is exactly what I mean lol u have to serve it the same why as u do hash so why not just use hash lol
Ig little brown turds don't sell as well as these rocks
Gotta use a dab torch to combust it in a bong and then it just runs and clogs your shit. Joint/rillo straight up won’t burn, and got help your grinder if you even try 😆
The crazy thing is people here are acting like this is crazier than what we already have - shatter and oil. This is just weed covered in oil. You wanna space ship to the sun? Just take 2 dabs of oil instead of one.
Shits corny
Moon rocks always cracked me up. Take low quality bud, coat it in low quality oil, dust with THC-A and BOOM, sell it for top tier prices. 🥴
I’d rather just take a single dab of great rosin or just smoke the flower on its own. These gimmicky shits ain’t it. Lol
God, at this point just smoke Spice or something. Or just drink straight juice syrup without mixing it with water since we're being assholes about consumption.
Pretty much. Even if you roll a pearl, you're gonna spend more time relighting it than actually burning. The only thing they really work in is a bowl as part of a time bomb.
Hate to sound like the Boomer, but weed today is way more potent than it used to be and the way that people are using and upping the potency is getting out of hand. I'm in a lot of other weed subs and the stuff that is going on is just wild. Flavors and cool ways to smoke are one thing, 98% pure THC is another. That is like drinking straight Everclear because regular liquor doesn't do it anymore for you. When it gets to that point, there is a problem.
I used to smoke at least an eighth a day and I know there’s people out there that smoke wayyy more. And looking back I don’t see why I did that probably just using it to cope with not being happy about life.
Nowadays I’ll literally have like 2 drags off a joint every couple of months and it’ll do me and I’ll enjoy it
In Texas we used to have “corn” 10 dollars got you around 2 grams and it was manageable, you could smoke half a gram and be chillin.
Everyone wanted “Kush” (I know it’s a strain but in Texas we literally just called high grade weed kush regardless of strain) it was unmanageable I could take 3 hits and be gone smoking wasn’t a fun social activity if I got in the rotation I would be dying 1/4th through the blunt. I would have to smoke a one hitter every 30 minutes or so to not get too high.
Where’s the beer of weed not everyone wants to drink shots of tequila when they get off of work. I don’t smoke anymore but I agree it’s gotten too strong for a lot of casual users
As someone who just took a t-break, my mind was NOT addicted but my body WAS. The insomnia and low quality sleep that came from not smoking weed let me know I was more addicted than I thought. Other smokers won't be that honest though.
Physical addiction and psychological addiction are very different animals. Leave it be for a few days, just be alone or hang out with non stoners for a short time, and you're clear. It's just your brain. Other shit, like nicotine or heroine, you have a situation for some weeks and months ahead of you... because the withdrawals echo through your nervous system and beyond, which is utterly different.
The dude says it's "weed drenched in live resin and covered in thc-a powder"

I know it's addictive. it's just not the worst addiction in the world.
Agreed. Some people drink coffee all day, some people just take a cup in the morning, or get their caffeine through other means. They are still all addicted and dependent on caffeine. Some have a healthier habit than others. Some do 20 dabs an hour, some smoke a bowl or two every now and then. I'd compare it to porn. Some people have a serious addiction that needs attention. Doesn't mean others can't consume it responsibly. We all have our vices, it is absolutely important to form boundaries though.

“I was a drug addict for 7 years. This year marks my 8th!”
Same, I don't deny it though. I'm addicted, is what it is.

Anyone who has ever withdrawed from opiates would laugh at someone claiming to have withdraws from weed.
As someone who has been physically addicted to opiates numerous times. You are very much correct.
People get addicted to gambling tho?
Semantics. Emotional dependency, addiction, call it whatever you want. It's a problem and it's hard to get rid of.
Quitting alcohol cold turkey can literally kill you....quitting weed will make you cranky. It's not the same...
I’ve been financially fasting from weed for like 60 days now. First thirty was just the psychological craving of going through the motions of my smoke routine. Now, I periodically miss it, but I’m fine without it.
Hmmmm it’s two weeks if you just smoke weed but if you smoke blunts the tobacco is gonna make it a little harder, but weed takes about two weeks to get out of the habit
100%. i had a friend like that, id come over to just say hi or go grab a bite and this dude had to do a dab before each step.

k, but til there's something else people do to get the exact high that weed does, imma say they addicted to weed. I'm not addicted to WoW, I'm addicted to loot.
Weed is not addictive, but I’m definitely addicted to it
Right. I'm not addicted. I'm committed.
I know I'm addicted but I've got a grasp on its impact on my life and I think it's positive, and that's literally how every decision is made about everything you put in your body. Just because I'm addicted doesn't automatically make it a crippling disease.

It’s not that hard to take a break. But I can’t lie — if I didn’t need to, I never would’ve.
I take a 30-45 day break every other month to reset my damn tolerance smh. Guess I can see how it can be a gateway 'drug' for some. Nigga be blasted for 9 minutes then its like damn, roll up another one.
*rolling a joint* why you gotta call me out like that
Hey man I'm calling the kettle black 🤷🏾♂️
very nice to meet you, pot.
It was VERY hard for me to quit smoking. You smoked to get high. I smoked to escape my life. We are not the same.
Hey I just quit a week ago. I’m fucking craving all the time. I just cut my lawn today and I wanted to grab my weed and hit it. But I didn’t. Have a dr appointment in 2 weeks they want me clean for blood work.
truer words have never been spoken
I think it’s more the tobacco most people are using to roll with. Getting off weed is a piece of cake compared to nicotine.
the homies was supposed to quit blunts like 4 years ago. it’s definitely the tobacco
A bit of both for me. I'm 100% addicted to nicotine, no doubt about it, but I'm also pretty bad with weed. I figured if I could start eating my weed I could start looking at quitting nicotine but the problem is I like the combination of weed and tobacco. Eating it hits different, vaping it hits different, smoking a bowl hits different. That weed and tobacco combo though? Oof. That's got me good.
This is me.
Oh, shit. Just now realizing the spliffs I used to roll in college might've contributed to the 4 years of vaping I did after I graduated and quit smoking weed.
When we get off the couch, you'll be sorry.
"it isn't addictive and there is no withdrawal. Anyway I have to smoke a bowl before I eat you the sight of food makes me physically ill" I will give them that it is one of the least addictive drugs, but these morons are living life like that is a challenge to be overcome.
I'll fully admit I'm addicted, but it doesn't wreck my health & life like cigarettes and alcohol ever did
I can quit anytime I want! Let me go get my blow torch so I can rip a dab tho
Meanwhile they are at the gas station at 730 getting blunt wraps. Stoned all day. Couldn’t be me.
Problem with that is most potheads view addiction as something physical like heroin
bro are you sitting on my vape? can you stand up real quick?
They still deny even if you tell them that they smell like weed even before they light up.
Funny how people who obsess over hobbies will also deny it because its called a hobby 😂
Yeah I smoke everyday and still get my shit done but it’s definitely a dependance. I also use it to stop myself dreaming due to chronic nightmares though and when I did stop for 3 weeks a month or so ago I slept so bad cause I was scared to go to sleep.
I say this to anyone that smokes dabs. No actual person needs to be that high.
I absolutely hate dabs. I was always a smoker who stood by the purity of weed. Just a plant that gets you high if you burn it and inhale the smoke. That dab shit adds unnecessary steps to a process that's supposed to be natural and that's when it becomes too much.
not to mention, the THC concentration of dabs is so high, your tolerance sky rockets almost immediately. so then you have to hit bigger and bigger beads to feel anything just watching an ex hit a dab rig every day that made him cough so hard I was worried for his physical safety was enough to make me never want anything but flower. even edibles sketch me out. sometimes 15 mg is enough to put me out for a day, other times I don’t feel it at all. and these are medical grade, batch tested, etc. there should be some consistency, but it’s like rolling a dice. do not like it, au naturale pls
My theory on edibles is that it depends on your metabolism during that time. When you don't feel your usual dosage working, you may just have slower metabolism that day.
I guess mines way real slow. I tried out some gummies with my friends, and while one of them was out like a light, I was feeling fine. And that was my first time trying to get high too.
Everyone is different, you might not be able to get high at all from edibles. If I don't have any edibles for months, my first time back I always need a little more than my usual dose or I only feel slightly floaty. It takes experimenting and you can even keep a notes doc to track how you feel.
You’re 100% right about the inconsistency of edibles. Same bag of 10mg gummies will have some that hit like a train and others that seem not to do anything. Last night i took a 10mg gummy didn’t feel anything after 3 hours so i took another 10mg. Still didn’t feel anything after another 2 hours (5 total) so I took a few hits from a preroll. I don’t know why but the preroll was like an activator for the edibles and I was suddenly in outer space and had to lie on the floor because I could tell I would’ve fainted if I remained standing. These were Kiva gummies btw, which are supposed to be “top shelf”.
You want consistent? The venerable punch bar is the answer. I don't know how that company has done it, but they have been consistent in their dosing since its inception however long ago. Across a decade I have never had an iffy dose from them.
Dabs are unnecessary , if you need a blowtorch to smoke your shit you should reconsider your habit like it just takes so much effort to do that when I can just smoke a J and be fine.
Rolling a j don’t require effort?
i don’t understand how anyone can want to be that high. after a certain point, i just get insane anxiety and paranoia it’s not even fun. i smoke most days and a .3 joint is enough to get me melted.
Dads are nowhere near as hard on the lungs and I can take one dab and it'll last me a few hours.
It's healthier for you
Every freakin time. I just want a nice buzz and eat some food, not traverse the multiverse in my living room.
I tried dab once and my immediate reaction was 'Holy fuck this is terrible', followed closely by 'Why is someone trying to turn weed into heroin?'.
Once you dab you can’t go back. Seen it happen to a lot of my friends. Imagine smoking with your friends and you’re the only one who can’t get high off the flower.
Yeah I’ve only smoked them when offered on occasion. Never actively wanted to. It’s too much.
I take multiple dabs daily but a single joint still fucks me up immensely
This is my thing. If you're distilling the thc out of the plant and pairing terps with it, you're looking for a purified hit of the drug. You have a problem. Sometimes pens can be useful, especially when you just want to take a little hit and be discreet, but just like with nicotine vaping...you're seeking out and ingesting a purified hit of the active drug.
I mean... yes? I'm not downplaying shit, I can't stand people acting like THC somehow is different from other drugs. Crack ain't physically addictive either but crackheads are real, same as meth. *But*, it's not like people just appreciate weed for its looks. There's a reason they don't eat raw flower. The only reason to smoke weed is the heat activating the THC. Fact is everyone that's smoking weed is already doing so for the high, aside from CBD and a small minority of medical users. The problem isn't that they've changed it from its natural form even though an aversion to that is very much natural in itself. In most cases, purification of drugs is done to eliminate unnecessary harms. There is a completely reasonable position of vaporizing one hit of a pen being better for your lungs than half a joint. Edibles and other concentrates save your lungs altogether. It's, like all other drugs, simply being abused by some people and the form isn't the issue. Not allowing people in hospitals access to pain meds can be flat out cruel, but these same drugs being used in 20x doses on the streets tend to look differently; who does them, how, how it affects others and them, any negative externalities come down to use vs abuse. Xanax can give people with PTSD induced panic disorders a whole life back, or it can make a person who abuses benzos never remember a day and become a different person to others, literally erasing their own life. The dosage and responsible use is the diffence. Even if the dosage is high with dabs, no one makes you take the last bus to blinkerton or dab a half gram. That's their choice. Just like you don't smoke like snoop or wiz Khalifa. Wiz is arguably even more "natural just weed", he promoted the fuck outta papers back in the day vs blunts but try and keep up for half an hour and see if you get shit done that day.
I appreciate everything about this comment.
Ingesting the purified hit of an active drug lmao Yes drugs are made of drugs, and indeed drug users do use drugs to get high. Thank you for your insights
Not a single one of y’all knows what the hell you’re talkin about lmao
I mean no one really neeeeds to be high at all lol, most stoners get high because they \*want\* to get high. Even medicinal uses of weed aren't like... literally preventing death or disease. If im just getting high for fun imma min max for sure lol
Weed has become way too powerful. Long live dirt weed is what I say by god
Smoking that stepped on only, that straight up dirt. This is the way
Hell yeah, my man knows what's up 👉😎👉
Same argument could've been made when weed changed from outdoor grows to indoor with much higher thc levels. Efficiency doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing. If you want to be real, indoor and higher quality grows are actually more likely to be better for you than the many outdoor grows that use pesticides.
Apparently not a single soul in this thread knows jack-shit about how weed is grown or how it has evolved over the last couple decades lol
I used to be a big stoner and it’s pretty similar. I saw a lot of people fuck up their lives because they only wanted to get high and did anything to do it
Stan Marsh’s speech on it said it best really lol
People chase the high with flower too lol nothing is natural you not SUPPOSED to smoke the shit lol
Natural means it comes naturally from the Earth. Saying nothing is natural is stupid. We are not SUPPOSED to ingest a lot of shit but we still do.
I agree. Too much extra shit these days. How how do motherfuckers need to get? I like a nice buzz and I’m straight. Been smoking for over 18 years and never felt the need to chase a high.
They go from smoking natural green to cooking the shit like a chemist after the apocalypse.
From stoner to junkie.
Yeah this is one of those things that’s plainly obviously a sign of a problem. Like the people who drink so much they can’t get beer or wine drunk anymore and have to switch to hard liquor to catch a buzz. Bro you got a problem.
I live in a state where weed is legal, and weed is getting worse. The shit is too fucking strong now. I miss my mellow highs, but these stoners are trying to have a goddamn panic attack every time they smoke.
“Cannabis is habit forming in the sense that all things worth doing are worth repeating” Interesting article, not all who use cannabis are brain dead stoner zombies. https://bigthink.com/health/carl-sagan-on-smoking-marijuana/#:~:text='%20When%20high%20on%20cannabis%20I,tastes%20from%20a%20vanished%20era. Some of use find a positive use for it.
This why I can’t do dabs or all that other shit. Anything beyond smoking a J every couple of weeks is a no go for me. If I gotta upload my weed into some strange contraption, enter the secret code, and then do the required hand signs before smoking it then I might as well do hard drugs.
1000000% r/leaves has people taking their addiction SERIOUSLY
Preach it! I’ve been saying this for a good minute It’s natural UNTIL you start fucking with concentrates Concentrates don’t appear in nature, they are only created through man made intervention like designer drugs.
I can’t disagree.
It’s gotten to the point that I’m afraid of getting too high. There is a huge difference between puffing a J and taking a dab, anyone who claims otherwise is probably already stoned.
Anyone who says weed is not addictive is fucking lying, or they just don’t know better. Had almost this exact conversation with a friend last week about how I’ve been doing more dabs because flower doesn’t do it for me anymore, or I have to smoke an absurd amount. I’m making an effort to cut back, but Its a struggle, literally chasing the dragon.
Cats be smoking rocks in a glass pipe with a torch lighter. That’s not just weed no more. That’s drugs drugs
Yup once you cross into making concentrates that is a drug now imo.
That’s why I never did dabs, that looked like some Crackhead shit. Really reduced my intake overall. Just because you can smoke weed all day everyday get super high and not die like you would with booze, doesn’t mean you should.
Explaining dabs to people already makes me feel like an addict so I do it in a "wow can you believe this!?" type of way
Fr like if you’re having to do all this shit to get high you need to take a step back and reflect bc what the fuck is this lmao
This. I've had moonrocks on a few occasions and them shits hit stupid and don't even have the flavor of the weed underneath anymore. Best to use these like a garnish or a seasoning for your blunt because smoking them straight starts to feel like you're not messing with weed anymore
> "weed drenched in live resin and covered in thc-a powder" psychosis speedrun. At this point, just put the weed DOWN https://i.redd.it/gyit9bs4bmub1.gif get this mad scientist off the streets!!
 STAY OFF THE DAMN WEEEEEEEEDUH!

Shoutout to Way of the Househusband 😂😂✌🏿
I mean, it’s all about concentration. Involving flower makes it less potent than a simple dab.
If you want good flower, *the city of Brooklyn, New York exists as a thing.*
PCP with extra steps😭
This nigga smoking powdered donuts holes wtf lmao
I smoke that, I'm seeing munchkins for real.
Lmaooo I hope he gets saved as “Dunkin’ Donuts” in his customers phones “Babe, why u got Dunkin’ on speed dial? And who tf is she!?”
i got hungry watching this
Hanging around too many of his friends who are getting high to run away from their problems. Most people are trying to chill and this guy wants to ride a fucking spaceship into the sun.

I laughed way too hard at this.
I really think the refinement of drugs is a symptom of late stage capitalism. The world is just too real and ragged and everyone needs a way to escape that shit even if it's into your mind. Imagine if people, real working people, could just take a vacation on a regular basis or go camping or get seen by a doctor for their chronic pain without getting a medical bill the size of a small nation's GDP. People smoking themselves into the 5th astral plane because they live in a food desert and walk with a limp.
Damn… you’re not wrong. It’s so obvious, but I’ve never thought of it from that perspective.
We are definitely self medicating. You keep making it harder and harder to live people will do anything to avoid it.
Like you aren’t wrong but my dude people having been chasing the dragon since before the invention of modern capitalism. Physical addiction and chemistry alone can push it. We are engineered to if we like something want more of it. Not everything ties back to late stage capitalism this is a human issue.
I'm not talking simple opium wars, I'm talking about the continued refinement and concentration of just pedestrian drugs like weed.
coming back from smoke-break with powder on my face like: “wut 🤷🏽♂️”
ASHY LARRY - MARCY, SON. WHAT!
Hey at least everyone thinks you’re just really ashy I guess lol. Coworkers going to sounding Charlie Murphy “put on some lotion, god damn!”
if you try to hit this on a smoke-break, you won't be going back to work. you're gonna wake up like this https://preview.redd.it/ao8dd981emub1.jpeg?width=1317&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac913c3f788a36eeea85e03a8133f8da61d14c82
This the type of shit that’s part of the reason why I quit, imagine bringing the fuckin xenomorph eggs from Alien to the function. But, yeah call it out and you get called a square🙄 
Speak for yourself.
ya’ll got any more of them munchkin nugs?
My fat ass thought this was a new kind of powdered candy, 🥲
Ok me too! I was thinking Omg they got sour-coated freeze-dried candy 😭😭
I thought it was the midwestern snack puppy chow 😅
I thought it was the new version of those candied grapes lmao
This product is double stupid, super high THC content is kinda dumb to begin with but this method of "processing" also just makes it a pain in the ass to consume. Like how tf are you even supposed to break it up without making your hand or grinder super messy smh. Also most likely won't burn well by itself so now you need to combine with regular weed just to light it. Smh we need to bring back hash lol
Use scissors you don't care about, but make sure they are sharp. Cut a few pieces off and then add to a bowl/joint/blunt but make sure it's surrounded by actual flower. So if it's a bowl add a little flower, a couple pieces of the space elevator, then top with more flower. If it's a roll up, sprinkle flower in to make a nice bed, add little pieces throughout the length and then cover with the rest of the flower. Basically you need everything around it to also be hot to work right. The other option is look like a fiend with a blow torch or some shit. Or just smoke some weed like a normal person.
This is exactly what I mean lol u have to serve it the same why as u do hash so why not just use hash lol Ig little brown turds don't sell as well as these rocks
I bought moonrocks once… Was super stoked, never seen them before! I have never bought moonrocks again 🤷♂️
Gotta use a dab torch to combust it in a bong and then it just runs and clogs your shit. Joint/rillo straight up won’t burn, and got help your grinder if you even try 😆
I’m all for bringing back crazy ass bubble hash. 👀
The crazy thing is people here are acting like this is crazier than what we already have - shatter and oil. This is just weed covered in oil. You wanna space ship to the sun? Just take 2 dabs of oil instead of one. Shits corny
Finally, weed that I can smoke, eat, or snort, depending on my mood.
You can even shove it up your ass
Boofing one of these is insane.
Moon rocks always cracked me up. Take low quality bud, coat it in low quality oil, dust with THC-A and BOOM, sell it for top tier prices. 🥴 I’d rather just take a single dab of great rosin or just smoke the flower on its own. These gimmicky shits ain’t it. Lol
It's all fun and games till one of the black gloves chefs try using these as butter beans in the oxtail.
Moon bae
This deserves more love than it will get hahaha
Weed is way too damn strong these days. Fuck around and be schizophrenic
God, at this point just smoke Spice or something. Or just drink straight juice syrup without mixing it with water since we're being assholes about consumption.
This shit looks like it belongs in a deep fryer.
I’m honestly confused on whether your supposed to smoke this or eat it.
Break it down and smoke it. But as others have pointed out they never really became practical.
I still can’t imagine this burning very well in a pipe or bong. And it seems too thick to go into a dab rig or vape.
Pretty much. Even if you roll a pearl, you're gonna spend more time relighting it than actually burning. The only thing they really work in is a bowl as part of a time bomb.
I thought you’d eat this like donut holes. I’d mess around and be the first death from weed.
Whatever happened to natural weed. I’m sick of all these gimmicks and bullshit. That’s how they try to get you on fentanyl and random shit
ya I wouldn't take anything that looked like it had powder on it, fuck that
I had to come to the comments to even know wtf I was looking at. Brain is gonna be fried after one hit
If you want psychosis so bad just start smoking meth
Hate to sound like the Boomer, but weed today is way more potent than it used to be and the way that people are using and upping the potency is getting out of hand. I'm in a lot of other weed subs and the stuff that is going on is just wild. Flavors and cool ways to smoke are one thing, 98% pure THC is another. That is like drinking straight Everclear because regular liquor doesn't do it anymore for you. When it gets to that point, there is a problem.
I used to smoke at least an eighth a day and I know there’s people out there that smoke wayyy more. And looking back I don’t see why I did that probably just using it to cope with not being happy about life. Nowadays I’ll literally have like 2 drags off a joint every couple of months and it’ll do me and I’ll enjoy it
In Texas we used to have “corn” 10 dollars got you around 2 grams and it was manageable, you could smoke half a gram and be chillin. Everyone wanted “Kush” (I know it’s a strain but in Texas we literally just called high grade weed kush regardless of strain) it was unmanageable I could take 3 hits and be gone smoking wasn’t a fun social activity if I got in the rotation I would be dying 1/4th through the blunt. I would have to smoke a one hitter every 30 minutes or so to not get too high. Where’s the beer of weed not everyone wants to drink shots of tequila when they get off of work. I don’t smoke anymore but I agree it’s gotten too strong for a lot of casual users
My brother in Christ just take a T-break for a week or two and you’ll get way more out of regular weed. This dude isn’t a stoner, he’s a crackhead
Fuck all this extra shit. Just give me some nice bud.
Like bro, just smoke meth at this point. Weed’s supposed to chill and mellow you out, not blast you into the fuckin atmosphere
This is like the weed version of mixing light with dark, when we gonna start calling this fiend shit what it is?
If you gotta do all this to some damn weed, baby you might as well just do fucking crack. All this shit is why folks all fucked up.
As someone who just took a t-break, my mind was NOT addicted but my body WAS. The insomnia and low quality sleep that came from not smoking weed let me know I was more addicted than I thought. Other smokers won't be that honest though.
Would you even have a comfy high off this shit? The hell you smokin dust for bro 😂
I can never understand why most chase the high like that. Even though I grow I usually use it to extract its properties in tinctures/lotions/salves
Physical addiction and psychological addiction are very different animals. Leave it be for a few days, just be alone or hang out with non stoners for a short time, and you're clear. It's just your brain. Other shit, like nicotine or heroine, you have a situation for some weeks and months ahead of you... because the withdrawals echo through your nervous system and beyond, which is utterly different.
Man smokin fuckin magwai eggs! Lol i would hit that shit if someone passed the shit my way tho fr.
Alien spores??!!
ATP seek help !
I am actually really scared some of this new fire will result in literal brain damage. But that’s the fear talking. Fuck it, load the bong!
At this point weed consumers need to take time to self reflect if they need things like this to get high
That's the shit the ninja turtles tried to convince Tokar and Razar to eat in Ninja Turtles 2 secret of the ooze
Sir that might be fentanyl, I wouldn’t touch or trust that.🤷🏿😢
Moonrocks always made with the worst quality everything
Holy Shit. Yo, do less.
If I need anything besides a piece of paper and a match, I’m good
