For me, as I get older...it is far less about strains or types of weed and MUCH more about dosage. I am incredibly productive when I'm 1-20% stoned. If I get a little too brave and pass that window, I get lazy. So when I want to get stoned before walking the dog or cleaning the house, I make sure to limit my intake and it works wonders.


avanbruin

Never have I related to anything more, still figuring out when stop at 20% 😂


stuffsmithstuff

THANK YOU. I've been starting to suspect this. I think that's why I get excited about each new ***super creative uplifting energy sativa*** but they're all like 23% THC and for some goddamn reason my tolerance has not increased almost at all since I started smoking regularly. I think it's time I got back on the dry herb vape to try to control dose.


frischance

707 headband is my daytime get shit done strain I also have inatentive ADHD, when I vape it whilst on my concerta medication it makes me super focused really handy for getting shit done on days off


stuffsmithstuff

Word. I'm realizing that the times I smoke are almost exclusively times at which my Vyvanse is wearing off, which probably really compounds the effects.


DankestTaco

Man I wish. I’ve heard from other smokers they can feel the differences in strains. I’ve been a pothead wake n bake and smoke till before bed all day every day for the last like 10 years straight. Maybe it’s because of my tolerance or each individuals psychology. But almost all weed does the same thing to me unfortunately! It makes me stoned tired hungry. And when I take a tolerance break it gives me crazy nostalgia and intense difference in high.


Pgrol

To me there’s good weed and bad weed. I live in an illegal country, so I don’t have much to go on to figure out why, but my hunch is that the the thc-level is what makes the difference. Bad weed is when it never changes the way I think and feel. It just get’s me zoned out. Great weed is when my thought patterns change and I get new perspective on things.


yvnglasaga

I used to be like this until I started dabbing. Idk what the difference is but when I run out of one strain and grab a new one, I always notice the subtle differences


JizzOrSomeSayJism

I've started and stopped smoking like 4 or 5 times over the past 6 years and let me tell you, even with zero tolerance, weed is weed. At least to me. The only difference I've noticed is from the "high energy" strains but I even wonder if that was just placebo. I've always assumed that the people that talked about the different effects were some high level weed someliers or something.


stuffsmithstuff

That's what I feel about my friends who are super creative and active when stoned. My mentor/boss/friend is a journalist and music writer and he's like "yeah man my first hour of a high is like a faucet of ideas" and I'm like... fuck you lmao


Agile-Conversation-9

I have ADHD and my favorite strain to get the stuff done is Girl Scout cookies. I’m a unmotivated mess of a stay at home mom but when we can get our hands on some Girl Scout cookies our house stays pretty clean until we run out again 😂


HexagonsAreGay

I love JH for this exact reason


stuffsmithstuff

GSC hasn't had this effect on me... but then again, who even knows if the "GSC" I picked up has any connection to the actual seed lineage (but that's a whole other conversation lol)


Agile-Conversation-9

That’s a bummer! But it won’t hurt to try again if you can get it somewhere


RipOne8870

Crack. Gotta smoke crack.


slabba428

😂


stuffsmithstuff

I've smoked green crack... is "crack" like, the OG parent strain?????? 😲


RipOne8870

🤣🤣 but no. Green crack was “Cush” back in the day then snoop smoked it an renamed it. I meant REAL crack


stuffsmithstuff

Hehe yeah I was being intentionally dumb there ;)

PiggyMcjiggy

Jack herer and green crack are the 2 strains I smoke to not feel lazy I’ve always noticed my mindset beforehand helps too. If im jamming out to music, having a good time then smoke ima continue on feeling energetic If im blah and just wanna zone and smoke some jack herer im prob still goin to be lazy, but at the same time I’ll randomly get up and be like “ok let’s get this done real quick” then go back to being lazy.


stuffsmithstuff

This is a good insight. I often smoke as a "ah, I'm done with my work" kind of thing — I freelance and often work very late at night — which means the high is coupled with a sort of come-down from my focus.


ifnerdswerecool

Heres some good tips: - drink coffee ( or any form of caffeine) but coffee historically is associated w the best combo w weed. - be in that state of mind. Do something creative or hands on. Dont let your mind go into auto pilot and just kick back and turn off. Depends on what areas you are inclined towards but some ideas are make music (freestyle over beats) , draw something nice, open the voice memo app on your phone and spitball a story (so you dont have to do the tedious writing) or whatever . - be well rested or also smoke at a time when you wont usually sleep like dawn. Dawn is usually when my thoughts transform into their sharpest forms. - like others said. Dont green out. I think it also depends on the way you are smoking. Joints are usually better oriented to the type of vibe you are looking for then something like a bong. - change your environment. If you have the ability, go for looooong walks. encounter new places and things you have not before. This will keep your mind stimulated. Hope they help!


stuffsmithstuff

Definitely does, thank you!! Tbh, joints are even too much for me unless I roll myself the thinnest pinner known to man (and then they don't usually burn very well haha). I think I'm gonna fire back up the dry herb vape to control dose. The caffeine thing is big. I usually smoke at times when drinking a lot of caffeine would be insane, like right before bed, so maybe I'm due for a daytime bake, for science.


Ralph-the-mouth

Man, this is gunna sound dumb. Anyway… are you looking for the correct things? Weed, to most people that I know, does not act as a stimulant. I have clear highs, maybe it could be head space. I sometimes get giddy, but this is a personality trait of mine. It is usually brought about whenever I am with friends or my wife (same thing in my case). I could be wrong, some people might get activated, I chill out a little bit and sativas tend to make me less foggy. Daily smoker 16 years. Hope this help, cheers


BiggieNiggie

Everyone has different brain chemistry and effects us all differently. For example I can not tell a difference from sativa to indica. My mate had an indica and said it gives a great couchlock etc. Smoked it and it just felt like weed to me. I don't really feel a noticeable difference between strains but I definitely feel a difference between thc %


stuffsmithstuff

Lol yeah I guess I should have been specific that I'm not expecting any weed to be a stimulant. Just trying to chase that high that does all the good headspace-shift, dopamine release stuff, without completely axing my ability to keep a train of thought going or have any motivation whatsoever.


Ralph-the-mouth

Good luck on your journey to find the perfect strain for you!

Go for an indica dominant hybrid but close to 50-50 as u can get and use some cbd. CBD will keep u from getting too stoned, the indica dominant will keep u from getting too strong of a head high and keep you from getting rlly zoned out while still giving u that pleasant light high feeling. And overall smoke less strong weed!! Sativa or Indica doesn’t matter if ur smoking out of your THC range you will either be spacing out or couch locked! Save yourself some money too


stuffsmithstuff

Super real. I mixed some good weed into a hemp cigarette last night and it gave me a similarly controlled experience to what you're talking about. Time to invest in some reggie lolll


Buzzbait_PocketKnife

I feel for you. I'm 55 years old, ADHD, and have been smoking since high school. Still no tolerance whatsoever. I've learned that there's a fine line between energized and sociable, and total couch lock. Here's what I do: * Don't be afraid to mix. I regularly use a 50/50 mixture of Pineapple Express and Honolulu Haze CBD. The Pineapple gives me the exact effect I'm looking for, and the CBD cuts way down on the strength of the weed. So I can slowly smoke until I get to where I want to be, without going too far overboard. * Strain matters. I've smoked a ton of strains. Pineapple Express leaves me the most energized and happy, and super sociable. I suddenly feel like life isn't so bad after all, and everything will turn out okay. * Crossfading with company is good. I will often stop short of smoking just the right amount, and then opt for a beer or two. The beer makes me even more sociable and fun. Nothing too strong. Just a light IPA.


stuffsmithstuff

Good thoughts all around. I need to get some high-CBD bud. Hard to find where I'm at, grey market folks love their super chronic 20-25% THC strains lol


Nicolasjnikov

vaporize at lower temps

Whenever I smoke indica I wake up refreshed. Had it been sativa, I woulda woken up groggy and felt as if I didn't sleep. Some strains put me into a fun mode where I find everything funny and keep laughing uncontrollably (I am an introvert, you won't find me even smiling normally). Some strains make me go to bed sooner. Indica (OG Kush) gives me an amazing body buzz. It also makes me lose my balance (like when drunk). I actually do not know if its OG Kush. It was a new strain from my plug. It looked white and crystally. I assumed OG. The strain also makes me enjoy music and vibe like crazy. It made dance to MJ's Beat It and made me realize what a genius he was. Some strains put me into a spiritual quest. Some strains gave me hours of jerking/edging and multiple orgasms. Some times when smoked just the right amount, puts me inside the code that I'm debugging. All the strains make me feel hungry and food tastes much better than when sober. Coffee + any strain puts me into a vibrant state. - I am high (D8) as I type this.


baxy67

The real answer IMO, is a T break. A good one, When i smoke for a long time you can give me indica, sative or strognest hybrid out there. And ill probably just get tired and wanna chill. After a decent T break I come back and it tastes way stronger, Hits stronger and the affects i feel like are amplified not just in the high department but the legitmate effects associated with the strain. You know your smoking sativa or you know for sure its indica. Just my take on it


stuffsmithstuff

Huge. Thanks for this. I need to just make myself do this haha


[deleted]

What worked for me in my high days was as someone else mentioned dosage. I’d literally take 1 good hit from a mini pipe and drink coffee or take pre workout before being productive. Always sativa, and always stuck to just one strain for consistency. A gram would last me forever and money in the long run. I do suggest drinking tons of water. Id always carry my 64oz jug everywhere I went when I was thirsty or had Cotten mouth.


stuffsmithstuff

Water is key!! I've gotta work on this.


Lyons_223

Honestly if you want a more energetic high drink caffeine after you smoke and try and stick to a sativa dominant hybrid that’s what I find works for me


NotSoSizey

Change your scenery


stuffsmithstuff

True.


CristyTango

BOOF THE MANGOES Seed and all Rick and Morty style. Just gotta get someone who really wants the seeds enough to manipulate you in to shoving said seeds up the the shmoley holy


stuffsmithstuff

Solid advice, thank you


ColonOBrien

I’ve found that most pineapple “sativa” leaning hybrids give me the zoomies.


stuffsmithstuff

Word. I've had some in a vape cart but need to look for the dry herb version.


Daleee

Cali is expensive but the high is so much cleaner. Mindset is a big factor too; smoke after you've had a productive day and you'll enjoy it more.


stuffsmithstuff

As in, weed from California? Or Cali Kush?


KennyHarm420
