It almost sounds like he's having a reaction to the terps

Specific terpenes like linalool and limonene can trigger immune system reactions or act as strong airway and skin irritants

Has he tried edibles and noticed similar effects? There's also the option to get distillate with stripped terps that may trigger him less. Flower and rosin are likely a no-go if this is the case

He has some D9 in injections from Spain (unknown vendor for me), clarified its without terpenes but he reacting same way on it. It is quite weird.
Only RSO from one of our friend and really weird BHO (prob cut with pine resin or recrystallized D9) were successful on him.

Probs not the greatest idea but he could test it by getting these concentrated terps and testing them on his skin like an allergy test haha

The specialist injected to him something with thc. He reacted, so the doctor took his blood and sent it to laboratory. He prescribed him Zirtec, so buddy tried again with bho and ended up hospitalized again🙈🙈

If he's dead set on getting back on the ganja I'd probably start with isolates and go through process of elimination

Assuming the issue stems from sensitivity to terpenes, I'd commence via isolates, adding a single item at a time and leaving time between introduction of new variables

THC-A crystals + CBD isolate could be a good starting point. Won't taste like much but it'll provide a high in its most stripped out form. Then he could go about introducing distillates (THC and CBD) - which are a larger list of compounds than the isolates

This could also explain why BHO was fine one time but not another. There's a large variation in how much of the natural oils get stripped out by the solvents as a part of the manufacturing process.

Fair point. He is about to smoke again, but 2 times unable to breathe and called ambulance on himself teached him the worst.. He ordered some RSO to try and i will tell him about CBD isolate. A few comments below are interesting point to LSD, which he consuming tons of it along with shrooms and DMT.. So maybe there is a connection between this too. It is really weird how fast this can happen.

Is it canabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS)? If it is then the only thing that works is stopping all weed 🙏💚

I searched for articles on this after reading your comment. First time I've ever heard of it. That'd be an absolute nightmare for me. It must be incredibly rare though as I've never come across it.

Reading about this condition is what convinced me to start doing mini T breaks every month.

I never have any days off. Although my usage now is much lighter than it once was I'm still dabbing and vaping and edibling. I'd probably appreciate it more too if I had a break.

I only do 3day breaks twice a month and they are matched to my shift pattern at work, so I know when I work that shift I don't have anything.

I always have weed and have to tend to my plants so it is a good test of will power. It doesn't do much for overall tolerance but that first hit after a break really slaps.

Tip my hat to that mate.

Since quitting the tobacco I'm nowhere near as clucky for a smoke. But the weed is still my go-to for where I draw the start line for my personal time.

Probably this. He still (according to him) doesnt received any results. We smoke so long together and he is only one friend im smoking with, currently we are almost neighbors too.. So its sad times for both of us now.

To be fair I've found a lot of doctor's don't even know about it. One of my mates was diagnosed and treated for all sorts before me telling him he had all the symptoms of chs and stopping weed was the only thing that sorted him out. He'd been a life long smoker too but its no good when it's making you unwell. More life brother 🙏💚

That sounds like every biggas worst nightmare.

Think Lechuga's probably on to something with it being terpene related if he's still able to vape low grade BHO without any issues.

I'd recommend you get him to speak to a professional from one of those medical sites rather than here.

He already was tested. They did this in hospital and he visited some specialist too. He still doesnt has results from that specialist. Hospital only did those entry ones and some specific thc test (EU country, not UK).

Hi safer from it few years ago, got in to hospital, puke blood or something black from my stomach, please guys more tea breaks it is like with fasting we have to give a break to our endocannabinoids system, I'm a stoner over 40, over 25 years of smoking, one of the cleanest days of my lungs where when I didn't smoke, no cough or this thing on your throat which you couldn't breathe. I know how hipocrite sound but we really should be more responsible stoners, the topic with acid is very interesting 🤔🤔 never had issues to mixed two of them together. Good luck 🤞

Did he have LSD? Quite common for lsd to change the effects of cannabis if you mix them together, happened to me last year

Good point, actually ton of it. Hes my main go to for DS3.0... This dude always has something in his freeezer

I can almost guarentee that its that, have a look on reddit or forums its appened to lots of people, I'm still only able to smoke very small ammounts and its been about 8 months, ask him if he smoked or had an edible while on lsd

I would be interested. I don't think there are any listings though

Competitive Eating….

Would it be classed as cheating though 🤔 🤣🤣

angling

Deffo 💯 used to fish as a nipper and finally got round to getting back into it a couple of years back. Even had a guy who dropped off at me local spot 🤣🐟🎣

Fishing is top, my lake also has a bbq smokehouse I need to sample 😂

Esports close #2

Fishing tops it for me, pool and darts too,nothing too energy intensive but swimming is always good

There's something magical about cycling while stoned.

True dat

I hit the gym stoned, take saunas stoned, go mountain hiking stoned, go cycling stoned, but there is zero competitive nature... As I'm lazy!

Snooker is great when stoned
Very relaxing

snowboarding gets the gold. well until they take it back

Archery is fun. I once bought from a guy who had a bunch of targets set up in his garden and would let me shoot a few arrows when I picked up.

Hes a good man

I love having a smoke and going mountain biking , turning my phone off for a few hours and just going out and getting lost in the forest

You hit the nail on the head, when the suns out like today, jump on the bike and hit the forest, big joint and then ride. Bliss!

Yep exactly what I like to do too, I named a bench near the start of my local trails 'spliff bench'.

I had planned to do exactly that today, but got covid for Easter instead.

Bjj and chess, and pool and shuttlecock and watching ufo's and tiddlywinks

Roller Skating with some good tunes in your ears.
Juggling is great once you have some flow.

Snowboarding (or skiing if you must) on a powder day. Effortless!

To watch or participate? If its just to watch I can watch any old shite stoned. Found myself watching lawn bowls once, but you can't beat topless volleyball. To participate being stoned, well, gotta be driving, personally I drive much better after a smoke and have more patience with others. The fact I have no licence for a year is a testimony to that, dunno why the courts don't share my opinion, cunts

High jump

Darts 78 180’s the last year most have been when stoned but do tire quicker when high.

Surf :D

Tennis or Gutterball in the dark 👍

Motocross or just generally anything 2 wheel related

I'll never forget passing around a bong at 6am in the back of a rotten transit van every weekend surrounded by bikes and petrol on the way to tracks like Cheddar Gorge, Apex and Whiteway Barton

flying through the air on a 100kg death machine when you're stoned as fuck is one of the best things I've experienced full stop

Ping pong.

It's the noise man and the trails the ball leaves are epic. 😂

Can't lie, on a sunny day like today nothing can beat a bit of Frisbee 💪💪

Any game in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship.
And snooker.

Beach volleyball... on the TV

Get some dosing capsules and you can sandwich hash between flower without making a big mess within the oven chamber.

I also find taking incredibly slow and gentle draws to be the most effective way of using it, like 10% of how you would toke on a joint

You can buy an official stand from storz & bickel online as well as a nice protective carrying case which is decent for smell proofing the device itself which does give off a little bit of a smell if it's just sat on the side

Most people start at a lower temp and work up (think 180-200⁰c) - lower temp = tastier but less smoke. Once you hit the 200 marker it's not worth going higher as you'll hit combustion which is the main thing to avoid

In terms of hash, it really depends on the type/quality.

Comms/crumbly hash is fine, use a higher temp than usual and either use the concentrate capsules, or make a lil cannasandwich with flower-hash-flower so the hash is nicely nestled in the centre

I've opted for the latter in my volcano and it's pretty nice. Melty hashes are the same but you gotta be even more careful as they can leak through to the internal mechanism and fuck your expensive electronics.

Best items I've found for hash specifically have been:
Dynavap + armored cap + induction heater for lower-middle end hashes
Puffco peak for high end Melty hashes and concentrates
Volcano for the dry stuff

Happy to answer any questions if you still need a hand fine tuning 😁

thanks for the replies everyone
I jammed a little orange foot thing in with a bit of a toothpick which saves me buying a stand
I'll try out sandwiching a bit of hash in between some flower

If your using melty hashes, you can hold the device upside down to prevent leakage into the device but it'll probably take its toll on the cooling/mouthpiece part but you can get new ones for £15

Nothing can effectively leak into the main unit itself from the chamber, it's a sealed ceramic chamber, but it will get messy. Normally if I'm putting hash in, I'll put some flower in with it. Concentrates, or full melts, get Concentrate Pads. Basically small metal wool pucks.

It leaks through the stainless steel mesh screen at the bottom of the oven chamber. If it was completely sealed, the convection side of the heating process wouldn't work considering the heated air passes through the screen

Was on citalopram for about five years…a bit too long.
I came off them last year and the brain zap was brutal, felt like I’d been switched off and back on again in a flash. Not a nice feeling but knew about it beforehand.
It lasted about two months, glad I came off them. Now it’s just meditation and yoga and definitely more stoned as well lol.
Good luck you’ll get there…

Apex was on all manner of those ssris, honestly for me made me a shadow of my real self.

Coming off was horrible and hard but once done (with docs advice / support). I find easier to manage now with just smoke

Cheers bud - good to hear you got through it. Yeah man I just felt numb - not angry or sad, just void of emotion like a robot, that’s no life.

Cheers for sharing, much appreciated - nice to hear a story from the other side, definitely gonna go easy on myself the next few months :)

Hiya H4yst4ck 🙂
Please see this audiobook 'Niacin: the real story' on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Niacin-Story-Wonderful-Healing-Properties/dp/1591202752

It details how Niacin has been used in orthomolecular medicine in treating mental health issues with nothing short of astonishing results.

And see this study on the protective qualities of Manganese bisgylcinate during cessation of certain pharmaceuticals, published in the journal of orthomolecular medicine.

I quit sertraline in december and it was rlly tough. The brain zaps were so bad at night when I was trying to sleep. It does get better and I don't regret coming off it. Cannabis has fully replaced it (for anxiety, depression, low motivation). Good luck bigga, there is light at the end of the tunnel!!

You got this 🤜❤️🦨

Cheers bud for the kind msg. So good to hear you got through it ok. Yep brain zaps making me feel jolty as fuck but really reassuring to hear from another’s experience that it will get better.

I've taken SSRIs during 3 different periods of my life and every time I stop taking them I have brain zaps! For me, cannabis makes things a little worse, but nothing unbearable. The good feeling it produces surpasses the bad, by far! The worst part of the zaps happened in the fist week. After that it becomes much less frequent and it eventually disappears completely.
Good luck!

We are sorry to hear of this experience and was wondering why is everyone here using SSRi’s in the first place? What led you all down this path?

Life got too much for me, a lack of coping mechanisms. A brain that can be deceptive/overthink a lot of the time.

All it ever did was make me a zombie and just numb the pain from my issues.

My issue lies in that though, the meds only ever NUMBED the pain. It never actually solved anything, so when I came off of the meds I was back to reality but my reality had been neglected for years. 😅

Never again with ssris!!

Big love,
Nickyblaze 💚💪✌🏻

Thank you so much for sharing. We can relate but have so far we've been building our coping toolkit with sacred medicines and have learnt through a long walk with IFS therapy that maybe we aren't supposed to get rid of the pain but find a way to accept the feeling. We wonder what your thoughts are regarding this numbing or feeling concept. Accepting our darkness is super hard but after having tried many other paths we keep coming to the same conclusion :-)

Yeah those brain zaps from citalopram withdrawal are shit. I didn't find anything that helped though. If you ride it out they go after a few days.

Yes I had this with mirtazapine to the point I would get a brain zap and a shock down my arms every time I blinked. Was much worse at night. Hard to sleep. Went on for about 2 months before it finally disappeared. Now and then I still get a random one here and there very rarely though
ten years later.

I was on citalopram at the end of taking ssri's the brain zap was wild 😅 the feeling of vertigo was too much for me but it eventually passed. Have been med free for around 2 years now 💪💪 hope you feel better soon!! 💚

I had this with mirtazapine it's when latency in the brain mismatches latency of reality causing a type of mini-seizure to correct for the mishmash of brain signals. If you're thinking of using cannabis use a very low dose to see if it causes any interactions, if you're tapering down you could end up with serotonin syndrome if you use too much cannabis which is god awful. If you stopped completely cannabis can help regulate dopamine which will help serotonin uptake and also help relax brain signals stop your feeling jittery.

Yeah I had it the first time I came off Sertraline. I've come off of it twice now after two really stressful periods. I've found when the zaps come ( mine come after about 5 days at first ) I take one ( 50mg ) and then the gap between the zaps gets bigger and bigger over a month or two until they have faded completely. Hope that helps.

I was on Sertraline for 6 months after seemingly being misdiagnosed.
They made me feel terrible, and the nightmares were absolutely awful.
I stopped in May/June, and the brain fits started, and gradually got worse until they stopped about 3 months later.
They got so bad that it was almost continuous micro-blackouts, and the supermarket was like being in a massive strobe light factory.
Tried something else that nearly made me face plant the floor after that. Stopped after 1 tablet.
St Johns Wort is probably best swerved too, and Amytriptline both nightmare inducing!
Now decided its the lesser of 2 evils to not take anymore pharma and just suffer....

iso+salt shake it theneave it for a bit.
(prolly depends on the design but)
for me completely clear & clean everytime, i love it

agreed about adding a little salt to your iso - MUCH more effective

Exactly this! I have been doing it for a while. I never wanted to research what reactions are caused adding salt to isopro though, I just hold my breath and shake. Sparkly clean every time. I tried doing it with water, but it just dissolved the salt, so I am assuming there is little to no reaction with alcohol as the salt doesn't dissolve.

the salt is used for being abrasive, basically "scrapes" any build up off your glass but without scratching the glass
due to this coarse salt is the best :3
(09:54 bst)

Soak it in iso

Ahh, gotta have pristine glassware!
Run it under a really hot tap so most of the worst melts off, then a few squirts of iso in a spray bottle and rinse. Takes 30 seconds

I find a quick swizzle around with a cocktail stick is great for grabbing all the tar out of bowl stems too.

Dr green bong cleaner

thanks my biggaz!

The above + lemon juice as a finisher to remove any clean but not quite pristine sections

Put hot water in bong, shake it. Then add iso and salt, shake as much, as you can. Then put again hot water, shake again. Final process is vinegar to destroy all brown and black residue. Clean it again with water :)

🦄❤️🦄❤️🦄❤️🦄

The time period after my GCSE's. Innocent but not so innocent. No responsibilities except selling weed, chasing girls and playing football

Exactly this lol I can never forget that year, GSCE finish early so nice long summer, completely free doing the stuff you mentioned

The "stoned" age 😋💭💭💭

Brilliant :)

this bigga

Honestly? Probably like 2 years ago when my current relationship was the best thing ever. It's rough now and I would give anything to have that back

Bronze age

yeah but then the skin cancer age

Now…the past is the past,I’ll always enjoy life now,know matter what’s happening even though I’m early fifties 😄

Me too I just turned 51 on Sunday. Sending love x

Yeah me too 51👍
Keep well mate.

16. No doubt. 1996. Just finished my GCSE’s. Was in the 1st 11 school football team and we’d won the Surrey cup. Had a beautiful girlfriend who was that teenage first love. Brilliant football summer with Euro 96, (Sheringham, shearer and Gazza). Being British felt awesome (not like it does now). Amazing music. Massive oasis fan and knebworth was about to happen. All my mates together with their girlfriends. Drinking, smoking fags and soap bar ;) Had got into rave and hardcore and went to lots of little rave house parties. Absolutely magical. It’s my absolute happy golden place.

When I was 12, I had a 10 week break between going to middle school and secondary.

I lived on a new estate still being built among the woods, so there was plenty of material laying about for building dens, and plenty of unfinished buildings to climb on or mess about in.

We built fires and cooked sausages, drank the odd beer, smoked the odd fag and handed around dirty magazines. We genuinely thought we were the shit 😂.

The dens never lasted long as they either got pulled down by locals or rival kids, but that was all part of the fun. I even managed my first kiss and fondle that summer.

16, one year before the last year of high school. Living in Switzerland during summer, eating mushroom chocolates, hitting bongs of Swiss Dank, swimming in Bodensea and being lost beyond belief. Ahh, the Swiss dream... :)

Late 90s

golden age for humanity

1995 young free single and no children. Going to the Arches and sub club,my weekend started on a Thursday and finished on a Sunday afternoon.Dancing for hours on end not a care in the world.Good memories of crazy weekends Always saying never again but always back out Thursday night

Mate a loved sub club and the arches ❤️❤️

Hey Family,

Would definitely repeat years between 20-25, probably been the most naughtiest would happily repeat it again :)).

Peace and Respect

I thought I was 27 for 3 years - woke up on my 30th birthday and was completely ok with that. Just didn't fancy 28 & 29 that's all 🙄

When I was 14 some local flats were getting demolished and me and friends went there everyday for the summer the holidays I think for two years actually it took so long we had free run of the place broke through the roof and everything lol

The minute I grew up and found out the cruelty of the real world was the minute the fun stopped.

I know that sounds heavy and I always answer these types of questions like this, I got diagnosed as Diabetic when I was 11, mum died , up until I was 17 my dad and me were bumping heads and I hated it (not linked to my mum I was adopted my birth mum died) I had times after where good stuff happened but I feel like I got dragged through maturity quickly because loads of stuff went to shit because of bad luck In life, my dad used to get pissed and just rent every night about needing to grow up and make money, came in the night before my 13th birthday bladdered and went “you’ve got copied video games for your birthday you’re a man now so do you need to do silly birthdays ?” And it went on from there.

Struggled hard as a kid, was very clever but could NOT wrap my head around things and did what I could, got to uni after winging it for years and failed miserably, went from hated job to hated job and here I am now at 31.

Got my own mortgage , beautiful amazing wife and a baby due in 3 months but I’ve had a wall in front of me for so many things for years that I’ve never been able to explain or get past, the depression for the last 12 years where no treatment, meds or CBT has helped has made me so cynical, jaded and overall angry and disappointed with myself.

I looked at a diagnosis for ADHD in my early 20s and got dismissed as a young man after Ritalin and after 11 YEARS on the NHS register with nothing and 4 on two private lists I was finally diagnosed 2 months ago and started medication ten days ago.

Decided to tell my dad about it last night he linked a daily Mail article saying it’s a myth so I spent two hours disproving everything that article said and he basically just said “You’re fine as you are you’re just anxious “ I’m not anxious.

So the meds are supposed to be working now but you can’t mix it with other stimulants like coffee and I drink about 4 pints of coffee or energy drinks a day to stay awake, same for weed apparently conflicts with the tablets which I smoke daily and alcohol (drink when I get the chance to feel chill).

So even though I’m on meds and titration to see what dose works for me I’m drinking on holiday, was assigned them maybe last Monday? Had to get my Bichon put down on Tuesday he had kidney failure and it came out of nowhere and because he was so silly and daft still it broke my heart to watch the life leave his eyes even if it was the right thing to do, so I’ve got grief, depression and drinking all on at the go when I’m meant to be seeing if these tablets stop me losing my temper at the smallest change.

Sorry for ranting, this wasn’t even the question I’ve just listed off everything wrong with life. Just needed to get it off my chest it’s been brutal lately.

My answer though, probably 17 to early 20s. First time getting my feet out into the world, I was a little geek until I was about 15 until I started coming out of my shell and really capitalised on that from 17 haha tried a lot of new things did a lot of new stuff but ultimately I wouldn’t relive any of it, just trying to do my best now for the sake of my soon to be daughter and don’t want to be freaking out because I can’t handle her crying so meds it is.

It’s funny, they were only really prescribed at this crucial point because if I hadn’t had meds at this point (been getting told for 6 months it’s a few weeks away) my fear of not being equipped to be a man let alone a dad would have probably been causing me to have a mental breakdown at this point.

I don’t want anyone to think I’m asking for pity, I’m not I’ve survived this long and will keep surviving but I think all your choices in life have clearly led us to where we are now, and even though I’d love to be back getting a blowjob and a stripe and feeling like I’d finally gotten free, the lessons I’ve learned from them have taught me some very important life lessons.

Cheers

Mate. Sounds like you've got lots on and are spooning out about becoming a dad. Take a breath, it'll all be good. Help your wife with the practical things so she can concentrate on the baby and everything else will follow. My dad's a cunt and it made me a great dad. You'll be grand.

your best years are ahead of you with that family of your own bigga.

early 20s, MDMA, dubstep and drum and bass. amazing times, clubbing is so shit these days i miss the grungy alternative venues with huge sound systems and cheap drinks

Probably 23.

I was heavily into a full blown career path and doing well but taking life far to seriously and had this terrifying vision of the next 30 years just flying past. On a whim I jacked it all, sold up (had my own flat!), headed to Corfu and bought a bar. One Monday morning I was chilling on the beach in the sun realising I would normally have been sitting on the M25 in the rain. Although I was there for 5 years that moment really hit hard. Amazing!

Honestly, it's hard to pick. Life is unique, precious and fragile. We can't go back, only forward. So, I'd say now, purely because we've made it to the fucking future!

For me personally, I'd go back to a time before My kids had been brainwashed against me. So maybe 4-5 years ago, was a happier time for me. I took it for granted and life made me pay the price hard. 4 years later and 1 run through family court I'm still at square one.

Honestly, I'd give anything to have my kids back, but I am starting to accept I probably never will and one day I'll be fine with that, just not today.

Big love biggas 💚

theres always a square 2 bigga or maybe even a (family) circle, love and time can do that

Definitely my first year of uni!

But I’d also like to revisit my 20’s.. the youthful, handsome young me didn’t live life to the fullest back then and it is one of my biggest regrets now that I’m creeping into my 30’s.

Back to '82.... I'd take state!

Just after GCSEs finished. I spent quality time just having fun with little consquence.
