🎵 Louis CK - Smoking Pot REACTION!

[@donnagonatas3155]

I'm 62 and I smoke every day. I've had 5 back surgeries and it helps me relax and take away the pain! ✌️♥️

[@AngryPostmanStockholm]

Great, to use it is not the same as overuse it

[@WitchessJae]

I'm 47 and had 2 back surgeries from breaking it in a few places. I smoke to ease my pain too, but it also helps with my anxiety and mental health issues. I only smoke what I need. That's why I smoke out if a bowl. I can control I better that way

[@WitchessJae]

@@justlovelyaintit I will soon, I just get a super deal on flower. Almost an ounce for $100 because I know the grower. And for it being home grown basically its damn good thankfully. Getting too used to the strain though so that's why I'm going to vape for a while and see how I like it. I agree it's better for my purposes

[@donnagonatas3155]

@@WitchessJae So true about anxiety! I find I don't need to take a Xanax hardly at all! A prescription of 30 is lasting over 2 months. How great is that? I have a dispensary within walking distance from me. It's like going to the corner store!!! I'm so glad it helps you too. ✌️♥️

It's been a decade since I smoked, but I can TOTALLY relate to Louis' remark about "it's been 25 minutes since I looked out of the front window of this car". I remember feeling that way MANY MANY times while driving stoned. LOL

Love you two! All the best with your new baba! Keep up the good work.

[@Deguello23]

Nothing but the truth. I've been almost exactly there after not smoking for a couple of decades. The thing is, between the 70s and today, people have been breeding the plants for THC content, etc., and what you get now from a dispensary is practically a narcotic compared the weed in the 70s-80s. Like he said, you could smoke a joint by yourself or with a friend and still be perfectly functional for the most part. That last time, though... After about 3 hours of still being absolutely wasted from a few hits, I remembered I had things to do. So I went to do laundry. I put everything in the dryer except for one wet towel that I just draped over my head, like a scruffy jedi, and drove home like that... because it made me feel calm. That was it for me.

[@centuryrox]

I can totally relate to this. It sucked, because all my friends were laughing and having a great time while high. I just took two hits, and ending up experiencing 2 hours of the worst paranoia, desperately wishing for the crap to wear off! And this was the late 1970s! Me and pot just never got along.

[@slocumb1270]

Same for me. My friends could smoke, drain multiple beers, and be the life of the party while I turned into a paranoid total waste of skin.

[@Skovbo79]

I'm with you, man. Every time I got stoned as a teen I just spent the whole time desperately trying to act somewhat normal and just wanting the shit to wear off as quickly as possible. Then two months ago, I took a hit from a joint after a concert for the first time in 20 years and it felt exactly like it did back then - just awful! So yeah. I'm pretty sure that was the last time I'll ever smoke.

[@formxr]

Ya pot makes me super anti social to the point where I just wanna chill alone and listen to music.

[@LynnThompsonAuthor]

Yeah, I never liked it back in college, either. Just as well; I have severely damaged lungs from childhood asthma, so I don't need to be smoking anything, anyway. No great loss!

[@gdn86]

@@formxr I think its a combination of the strain you get, and however the chemistry in someone's brain works with THC. I've mostly experienced just wanting to be alone, but I've had a few times in my life where whatever strain it was, was the opposite. Back then there wasn't a label, haha, so who knows what kind it was. Even now though, its a limited scope of experience I could have, and mostly, I just do not want to be around other people in person. It's just far too much sensory information to handle on top of the inner experience. I absolutely consider it in the family of hallucinogens, albeit mild compared to others like mushrooms or acid.

[@inexplicablyleft2729]

I had that same experience smoking pot for the first time in 30 years. When he said "This is going to be an ordeal.", I remembered thinking the same thing. All sorts of hallucinations, but especially time distortions. My friend walked downstairs, then immediately back upstairs, but it felt like she had disappeared for at least a half hour. Interesting experience, and I think part of one of my two deep drags on the pipe might have been really nice, but I haven't smoked it again for 20 years.

[@zippitydoodah5693]

Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhh. I've had to go lay down before . . . more than once. Pro-tips for the modern stuff if you are older and haven't tried the new stuff before: 1. Never on an empty stomach 2. Never if you will be driving in the next 5 hours 3. Always have _plenty_ of food in the house _first_ . 4. Grilled cheese sandwiches ( trust me ) 5. Music. There _must_ be music. 6.

[@zippitydoodah5693]

@@centuryrox Good one. You'd think older people would already know that one.

[@Kipperbob]

I came to the conclusion that over thinking when you're high is a result of not occupying yourself with doing something, I just push through that shit and get busy getting shit done. The stronger the smoke the harder you need to push, but it's like perpetual motion once you get moving you get unstuck from the zombie head and start to get creative and totally engrossed in the work you're doing.

[@robertcussins2807]

Ah, man. When I was like fifteen, came home stoned to my parents house, went into my room, and discovered I could set my head in motion turning back and forth, and I couldn't stop it. Then my mom walked into my bedroom and said, "we're going to town for pizza," (they were playing cards with friends but I somehow stopped my head from going side to side) and she said I had to drive their new Cadillac to town...twenty miles away 'cause they had all been drinking. Oh man. I made it, ate a shit ton of pizza (mom remarked it was good that we ordered two family size pizza's) then drove home. They had more beer, so I had to drive home. But after having that much pizza and a few Pepsi's I was getting somewhere near coherent. Ah, the memories. Edit: This was like 1974. And I'm surprised I remembered it. Now all I use pot for is right before bed and I can go to sleep. If I did this during the day, I'd weigh 350 pounds in a few months I'm sure.

[@FarewellFix]

Bro...well said!

[@Pete_Finch]

For me, it seemed to be smoking while being in a deeply unhappy place in life. All I would focus on was happy memories from the past that were long gone, and then I'd realize how many years ago they were, and the racing thoughts/panic attacks would begin. This happened probably about 3/5ths of the days I smoked, and I smoked every day for over two years. I think maybe if I were in a better place in life, a happy relationship, etc. I might have been in the right head space to love it

[@Nickel138]

That sounds like too much work.

[@stemid85]

I live in Port Angeles WA. We have 7 pot shops in a town of 20,000. Due to a neurological condition involving balance issues and tons of migraines (2 venomous snake bites and 6 concussions) a doctor thought it would be a good idea. I don't drink or do anything else but prescriptions and aspirin. I barely am affected at all by the countries strongest pot varieties. If I am it is just a minute or so, but the pain relief is amazing. The 9 prescriptions I tried didn't even come close to this. I am puffing right now, some serious Northern Lights. I used to be a beer drinker in my 20s, but now am allergic to commercial beers and wines (the clearing agent the use to remove the sediment- - - crustacean shells, I am allergic to sea bugs like crabs, shrimp and lobster ect. )_ so this is my only vice, and it isn't even blinked at here.

[@tattoodude8946]

That bit is so relatable for me. I had a panic attack/existential crisis for the first time on pot back when I was 19 and I have had trouble with marijuana ever since. I have used it here and there but I now have to be very careful of my intake: a half hit is plenty and I am not going to be very useful afterwards! 🤣 I can play a video game or do some mindless task like putting together a piece of Ikea furniture or something and that is about it. The thing that strikes me as bizarre is that stronger psychedelics like mushrooms don't give me that same panicky feeling.

[@andrewmanford]

I'm totally the same way. I had no clue in my teens how people were smoking tons of pot and having a good time and like going to school and work and such. Just recently I came across an article on this though. Apparently there is two parts of your brain that get 'lit up' when high. One is for euphoria and can be put to all the laughing and food cravings. The other is for fight/flight/freeze aka paranoia. It just so happens that some people have one part turned on way more than the other. I agree with other psychedelics too, they can't compete with some nights with marijuana.

[@richardbartch3620]

started smoking in 1968...if you had a little cash and a good connection the pot back then was just as good as today ...just wasn't widely available. Had a buddy who's older brother was a grower of sensi back in the day and that shit was amazing. As good or better than anything today.

I was a teenager in the '80s when you could still get away with smoking pot -- like, I used to smoke an entire joint before school in 7th grade. I have no idea how people do it these days. I live in a recreationally-legal state (NV) and I know so many people who take FAT bong rips -- like 5 or 6 -- then go to work on this weapon-grade cannabis.

[@peterramsay4674]

It’s so funny and so true. When I was a young teenager pot was cheap and if it was home grown you basically had to literally keep smoking constantly to maintain the buzz. Columbian was my first experience with good pot. Not super powerful but a major step forward. We all know now that what’s available now can lay you out if you are a novice pot smoker. It can stop you cold. I’ve been smoking pot since about 1967.About 55 years. My motto has always been to never push someone to do anything they don’t want or not sure they want to try. Drugs and alchohol went hand in hand for me. Too much of a good thing really isn’t the way to go. I’m in a nursing home now and smoking is out of the question for me but I still get it in gel caps that I can take up to 12 per day for pain relief. It works good for me in. I was on oxys for 3 years and it was horrible. Give me my pot any day of the week. My tolerence is super high. When it became legal here in Canada it was a very emotional thing for my generation. I’ve been strip searched crossing the border to Detroit where many of my friends were. You could smuggle guns through the border but pot was treated like it was Heroin. If you had long hair you were a marked man. Brad figured it out. He learned it’s not for him. Then again I was dropping acid before I even started to drink beer. But that’s another story.

Ounces are now selling for $59-100+ in Michigan dispensaries. The average cost of an Ounce is $109 in Michigan now…about $200 cheaper than Illinois dispensaries. But I have seen ounces as low as $59! Adjusted for inflation a $59 ounce is cheaper than a $25 lid in the 70’s. $25 in 1975 is $139 in 2022 dollars! Also most of the weed I came across in the 80’s is what we called swag, or Mexican Ditch Weed. It’s so much better now.

They had vietnamese red , Alcapoco gold, columbian gold, Red Bud, African black bud, Jamaican. Many people only had access to Mexican and it was Garbage. Of course. I never smoked any.... The only diffrence is, good pot is more plentiful to all now.

Back in the seventies cannabis was 3% THC levels , now it's 26 and above !

You might want to check out a Cheech and Chong video. Their bamboo album has some hilarious skits. :)

I told this story before, but since y’all can relate so well. This happened to me. I hadn’t smoked for about 12 years. I noticed people taking little hits. One hit. They convinced me to smoke, so I said sure, but pack that bowl full and I’ll take it down in one hit. Everyone was like, “Nice!” I’m telling y’all, while I was still inhaling I already got too high. I’ve been too high before, I know when it’s coming. Not like this tho. It was so embarrassing. The room was spinning, when I closed my eyes it was spinning. I thought a black widow spider bit me at some point. I couldn’t stand up, sit down, or lay down. I was out of there. Hours of misery. For me, and everyone else. No one ever asked me to smoke again though. Even when it goes well, it’s still rough. I’m with Brad, give me a couch and food and no one talk to me. I’m going to be very uncomfortable for a few hours.

I made the same mistake, many years after the last one. It was awful. Defeated the whole 'drugs are fun' thing.

The first experience with a Whole Gummie saw me catatonic on my host's sofa for not less than 15 hours. Couldn't and DIDN'T move, did the whole time. Didn't even move to the restroom. My whole mind was engulfed by the subconscious. I was probably responding just enough to assuage her fears for my safety and to keep her from becoming alarmed. But I don't really quite remember. Water under the bridge, now.
