Story Cannabis Microdosing Observations Journal (constantly updated)

[Yomyom]

Well, that was a very unusual thing, but I had a real trip yesterday.
I don't know why but it felt like I am not on weed but on something else. That was a few hours of never-ending hallucinations, I kept my eyes half closed and was seeing very weird pictures: dinosaurs, eagles, mountains with lakes and rivers. They did not have a very vivid color, but they were in front of me. Sometimes I was hearing strange sounds, it was not like I am hearing with my ears, but they were coming from inside. Now I understand why psychedelics are attracting people so much. That is similar to immersing in a completely different world. Was a quite interesting experience.

From CBD oil?!! I'm in shock!
Did you took anything in addition?
I thought to try it for sleep but hallucinations is one of my biggest fears

No, regular weed with high THC and low CBD. I drank a tiny bottle of wine (200ml) an hour before, just wanted to try something new. Probably that was not the cause of hallucinations.
It is the first time I have this.

Well, seem you had a nice trip, do you think to start work with psychedelics? My dream to take mushrooms, but I threw it because bad experience with DMT

Synergy with weed it's so strange, I took weed, wild dagga and blue lotus, three hours of nightmare, I kept thinking that i jump without parachute from a plane

I think no, I won't try anything else now, because many countries are on lockdown and it may take a long time to be shipped. If you are experimenting, the best option would be not to take too much, start from a small dose.

Have you grew this weed yourself? Unless you did it could have been laced with something. Scenes you describe - I didn't have anything like it on moderate shroom trips, let alone weed and I smoked my fair share of trees.

I have had same weed maybe since October 2018 and everything has been okay, I guess this is because of my schizoaffective, just an occasional triggering.
Edit: no, I bought it. Probably shrooms will be an unforgettable experience with schizoaffective disorder

Wow you sure buy in bulk

Yeah it could have been due to your schizoaffective disorder or maybe they laced a small batch with something, who knows. Shrooms are nice, did them on many occasions, although can't say how your disorder will affect the trip.

Never tried DMT (actually bought caapi but fell short of buying dmt plant and the plan canceled) but did low-to-moderate shroom dosages. Loved it. Didn't have any major hallucinations like op desribes with lakes, eagles flying etc. Just the colors and breathing patterns. Was quite surprised when I looked at the wall and saw these patterns moving. Mesoamerican aztec type of stuff. It became obvious to me that aztecs did shrooms and their art was derived from these hallucinations.

i can't find the strength to read atm.

tldr; What method of smoking and how much does it help insomnia?

in the last time I tried weed I had a really bad trip, high bpm, bad thoughts , etc.. I wanted to see if It can help my sleep due to my insomnia issues, so i can taper benzos.

Read what? Smoking what, weed? Plastic bottle with hole at the bottom and a tinfoil bowl. Doesn't get much simpler. Weed does induce deeper sleeping. Whether or not it will help your insomnia - there's only one way to find out. Personally the only insomia I have is cause of noisy neighbours. Your bad trip is cause you had paranoia, panic attack. Weed intensifies everything with me - anxiety as well. Whether to give in to anxiety - it's up to you though.

If you stable, it should be wonderful.
For me all I felt is one huge darkness, like big nothing that freaked me out.

You don't have Dealers in your country that you need to buy from another countries?

2018?!
Dude, it has molded by now. You're probably hallucinating from smoking mold. Mold will also fuck up your lungs. Weed isn't designed to be stored for years. Dispensaries here have to trash excess product due to mold, and they've only been legal for about a year.

I was storing it with silica gel and can't see any difference despite being extremely dry.

I don't know any dealers in my small town. All I know are in Dublin. We are on lockdown so going now might be a mistake.

 

[Underwhelming]

how are you dosing?

 

[faust]

The best thing to say would be "irregularly". I cannot be on weed all the time :(

Sorry if i worded that incorrectly, but i meant to ask, how are you taking it? Smoking? Small piece of edible? Small amount of decarbed inside of a pill capsuple? The chemical compound of smoked vs ate is different, so you might get different effects. It might be worth a shot to take a small pill of decarbed flower 2x a day, I doubt it would get you totally fricked, but it might have some longer lasting smother effects.

Oh, sorry, I am smoking it using a small pipe. No tobacco added, just regular weed. Weed is illegal there and nobody would prescribe weed for schizoaffective disorder. So pills are nearly impossible to get and eating would be pricy.

Putting flower out on a baking sheet @ 250 degrees for 30 minutes will decarb it, allowing you to orally injest it. You could then just place it inside gel capsules ordered online.

I have never tried this method, cant say how well it would work. But since your microdosing it might be worth a shot. Obviously this runs into issues with making your kitchen and oven reek.

It will be hard to explain to my neighbors why I am using the oven though I never do. Though I have a huge amount of capsules which can be emptied and easily opened.
And I guess weed becomes less potent when ingested orally. At least I felt nothing when I did that before.

 

[Yomyom]

It should be the opposite, weed taken orally Should take much longer than smoking or evaporation
I think it is because of the stomach it takes a long time to digest it

Okay, how long does it usually take to be digested?

It takes a little time to kick in, but it last longer, I think up to 5 hours more than vape
I never tested it, because I don't have where to Cook it
But a lot of people who tried it said That the effect takes longer

How about raw weed then?

You have to cook them, the Cooking activates the cannabinoids that cause the effect.
You cna make cannabis butter to put it in cookies or other things

Cannabis-infused butter, or cannabutter, is one of the most common ways to make edibles. Check out our easy step-by-step recipe to make your own.

Or if you can eat in the original flavor you can do what @Underwhelming suggested

Putting flower out on a baking sheet @ 250 degrees for 30 m

 

[Underwhelming]

When you cook it and orally injest it its a different compound than regular smoking so it has different effects, so its worth a shot to try.

It takes two to three hours generally. They have a tendency to start working once you talk shit on them and say they dont work.

You can cook it inside a sealed mason jar i think? Research this first please. I dont want a jar exploding inside your oven. Is is possible though.
It contains the smell.

"They have a tendency to start working once you talk shit on them and say they dont work". I liked this phrase so much! Reminded me of Lemon in "The Wolf of Wall Street".

[Sensei]

@faust, I just want to say that I'm impressed by your systematic efforts to recover. I'm sure this can be of great help to others who are struggling too.

 

[faust]

@Sensei I think I am still doing this because I did not have unreal requirements, I just wanted to make my existence more comfortable.
And there is one thing I noticed - anxiety does not bother me much.
I checked that fact in the earlier posts and realized that it is not just assumption.
Cannabis helps to cope with anxiety, at least now.
I had depression and anhedonia the last few weeks, but I noticed that anxiety is not a matter of big concerns for me anymore.

 

[faust]

Alright, yesterday, 2020.04.06 I got drank and felt very bad after that. Had been very anxious, but somewhere at midnight today I was already okay. Now I took regular dose, no caffeine was taken before, feelings might be a bit different.
Added suicidality, crossed out heartbeat and body tremor.

I decided it would be better to say how I feel before the dose taken, not what is happening 1 hour prior. Desperate, depressed and suicidal. This might be a good state to CTB. I just want to cry, lots of regrets and different feelings. Staying is not a pleasure, I am looking forward to doing what I intend to do.
