At my first time at the dispensary, and never having tried marijuana before, I was lost. The budtender patiently went through things. I wanted something to be able to give me energy and motivate me to paint in my art studio (I do fluid abstracts). However, it made me unsteady on my feet, which scared me a bit, so I went into my bedroom to sit on the bed. I didn’t want any sound—my own voice annoyed me. So I just closed my eyes. At first, it felt like that moment when you wake up all relaxed, but before you’re fully awake and the day intrudes upon you. It was most pleasant. Completely cerebral experience. I felt I was flying. After awhile though, my body pains started to intrude on the fun—I could feel everything which was annoying. The high gradually faded away and I was able to get up and do things. It didn’t give me a headache like granddaddy purple had. It also wouldn’t let me sleep. Like, not at all. I had to take heavy sedatives to sleep, which I hate to do. It did taste and smell good though. I used a one-hitter, which I don’t like much. A nice experience, but definitely not the one to get me up and painting. Next time will try Tangie or Green Crunch. Not much on the menu here yet.

I’m 55 and never tried marijuana before. I have fibromyalgia, so I went into the dispensary and spent 90 minutes with a budtender and came away with a headache and Grandaddy Purple, to help with pain and sleep. The first 3 times I tried it, using a one-hitter, I was awkward and was scared to inhale. No effects. I did sleep well though. The 4th time, I got confused about when to inhale (forgive me, this is so new to me), and gave a sharp, deep inhale. I coughed so much I almost threw up. The second time I lit, I inhaled so hard I actually swallowed the little burning ball at the end of the chillum. I was so mad I couldn’t get this right. The next thing I know is I kept rewinding my tv show on my phone because I kept missing the scene. I watched 2 houseflies move slowly above my head. I started to feel odd pains in my body, but kept telling myself not to get paranoid. I talked to myself endlessly and giggled a lot. My dogs looked worried. Although I stayed rooted to my spot on my bed, it was definitely more of a cerebral high. I couldn’t stop talking (to myself!). 3 hours later I started to come down and then still couldn’t fall asleep, which was the reason I got this strain. I remember the smell of weed on people in high school and it stunk. This strain has a lovely scent, not skunky or pungent. This smoke is strong but is pleasant. I think I need to try a different method of delivery, as well as a different strain, if I just want to fall asleep. I’m thinking of trying a dry herb vaporizer, so the smoke isn’t as burning hot? That’s the only thing that really bothers me about the one-hitter. At least I finally know what being high is all about! As compared to getting drunk, weed is a happy high, while drunk is just sad. I would not ever mix alcohol with this though.
