I plan to go out in nature on my horse with a joint but am concerned because I’m not entirely sure how quick I’ll go from high to stoned to encumbered. The goal isn’t to be couch locked but to help with my anxiety. The previous time I got high it was somewhat light and the second time nothing happened. I don’t want to get stoned and be unable to ride back home 😂
related: any strains or things I should look for when using cannabis for anxiety/depression/PTSD? The first time was amazing for my mental health, and has helped me a lot in just that one time. I just would like to re-up periodically when I need it.
Edit: I live in a legal municipality with access to dispensaries.
Whatever weed you’ll get, I’d definitely first try that strain / dose whilst home, so you know exactly what effects you get once you wanna ride high
I’m honestly with you on this one. I had read somewhere that if you smoke in a positive and happy environment it’d help steer the experience away from an anxiety attack (exactly what I’m trying to help with, lol). I’ll just take a joint with me and relax on the terrace before I go out.
It’s worth noting that horse riding is more dangerous than motocross. I don’t want to harsh your buzz if you’re an excellent rider, but if somebody told me they were going to smoke a joint and then go motocrossing I’d be a bit worried about them.
The onset is pretty fast because it’s going straight into your lungs and bloodstream. Within a minute of inhaling you’ll notice the feeling.
I would recommend talking to a dispensary about what you’re looking for. If that’s not available, try talking to your dealer or someone who knows more about smoking in your local area so you can get some reputable information.
Generally speaking, it sounds like a mid strain is what you’re looking for. Roll some .5g joints so you can smoke them in littler portions.
Back when I didn’t really smoke, (but would with friends who did) I would take one big hit off of whatever they were smoking, and be good for an hour or two. When I felt it wearing off, I’d hop back in the circle grab another puff.
Smoking is fast. You’ll feel it quickly, but it will build up. Take a hit. Put it away for 5 minutes. If you think you need another one, go for it and wait another 5 minutes.
You should be good as long as you don’t rush it.
Have fun and good luck!
When smoking, I find 1-2 minutes to start feeling it, 5-15 minutes for peak effects.
Absolutely try it at home first. Don’t go out on a horse for your first time.
As always, start low and increase after you’ve waited long enough to peak out.
Talk to your budtender, but also be prepared to experiment, because everything hits people differently. Strains will give you an idea what the effect may be, but it won’t be a certainty. Indica vs Sativa will probably be bullshit, terpenes and thc to cbd will probably have more of an effect. All of which can vary from producer to producer, and batch to batch.
