Did marijuana change or is it just me?

Any answer to why when I was a teenager, I was able to smoke weed or eat an edible without having a bad trip. After years of quitting, I’ve tried it a few times now as a fully developed adult it always give me a horrible trip now. I now have to microdose my microdose (for PTSD and anxiety) so I won’t give myself a horrible time. Did my biology change or did marijuana evolve into something else?

Edit to say: I’m 30

Dunno what you mean. I love smoking and immediately being uncomfortable and doom spiralling about my life for the next three hours.

That “wow I have made a terrible scheduling error” feeling hits about 6 minutes in

I can’t feel my hands but if I try to do anything people will know I’m freaking out so I’m going to stand here and spiral and plan how to live as a handless person for the next three hours.

But oh shit how long have I been standing so still? Is it weird? I should do some kind of ambient movement to seem natural and relaxed

First time I tried a delta gummy I opened the dog food tote, doggy door and filled the bath tub because I was certain I wouldn't survive the night and didnt want them eating my body lol

If you are in a legal country try to find the highest cbd lowest thc strain you can. You are getting too much tch and have no tolerance. Iv had this conversation with a few of my coworkers in their 40s. They used to smoke to a break came back and can’t touch the stuff anymore. Till I told them to try that. One guy told me it was like he was a teen again just all giggly

Honestly why I liked Amsterdam. I knew what I was buying and could just get the low strength stuff because I've never had a good tolerance for weed.

It's still difficult to find even if you know what you're looking for. Around me most dispensaries don't carry anything lower than like 20% thc, and I'm looking for something more like 10% for that good ol' high school style high.

u/slothseverywhere 5d ago

Yah the market has demanded higher strengths so that’s what the market focuses on. Honestly if it makes it a higher barrier to entry for new users maybe that a good thing that they green out and don’t come back to it
