Smoking A Joint and Going Straight To Bed?!

[Alticus]

I don't understand why people do this. When I smoke a joint I like to enjoy the high by gaming or watching TV. Going straight to bed seems like a waste to me. You?

I assume they want to sleep better.

My brother and a friend do it. They smoke joints all day and into the evening and still smoke one right before bed. How relaxed do they have to be? lol

I have no idea. Some people have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. I know I do sometimes.

 

[Seamajor]

Naw. Makes complete sense some days.

Hey Becky

Just because someone's an addict doesn't mean that smoking a joint before bed isn't odd to me.

I don't smoke pot but I have a hard time sleeping. So now it makes me want to try gummies so I can sleep. What I don't get it why won't people just chew a gummy instead of smoking? Pot smell is gross. Jmho

Admittedly I can't speak as authoritatively on this subject as I could oh, three decades ago? Something like that.

But I tend to agree with you... smoking immediately before going to bed seems like a terrible waste of a buzz; I would think the mellowness of coming down off a buzz would be a better time to hit the sack. Maybe it gives them more vivid dreams or something?

But again I have very limited experience with today's SuperWeed so it's entirely possible that I'm just missing something they think is obvious about toking up right before snoozeville.

I've never tried edibles before but I think that they are more of a body stone.

Psychologically? Perhaps.
I've never met or heard of someone who was literally physically addicted to marijuana.

The mind is a powerful thing though; if they *think* they need it that's how they will act.

Sativa is for a buzz, Indica is for nodding off.

Indica = In-Da-Couch LoL

Also, the act of smoking is an enjoyably relaxing activity. It's the most fun you can have while doing nothing. :D I'll smoke the occasional cigarette too.

May e they have high tolerance
or really like weed

for me smoaking before bed calms the racing thoughts, allows me a sort of tranquil euphoric state, as tho I’m enveloped in a cocoon of bliss
smoaking the rong weed could result in monkey brain, turbo racing thoughts, time to get up open a beer fuck sleep
@Moonpie
gummies and spliffs are two diff things .

That could very well be true.

When I’m high I pretend Cw is a kitten in a cashmere sweater…

I’ve tried it once and coughed for an hour.

 

[realgrimm]

Na , someone smokes a joint before bed its an aid to sleep , I get into edibles when I wanna sleep because after the buzz it puts me out, same if you smoke it and watch summat on TV extremely slow..IMO

So a website run by a company that makes its money selling addiction treatment claims people can get physically addicted to marijuana? Seems legit.

Maybe I missed it, but did they include any objective peer-reviewed studies that back up their claim?

That would be far more helpful than linking a commercial for treatment centers.

It doesn't matter what you post. An individual has to have a mind open enough to receive, and consider, new information. That is not what you have on the other side of your discussion.

1) dependency =/= addiction

2) a site that again simply makes claims and is a government web site... the same government that classified marijuana as belonging in the same category as things like heroin and continues to fight legalization.

Do you not understand the assignment?

"After examining the acute and long-term effects of cannabis, CUD appears to conform to the general patterns of changes described in the Koob and Volkow model of addiction. Previous preclinical and clinical studies indicate that features of the three stages of drug addiction described by Koob and Volkow are also present in cannabis addiction (Fig.

), although these findings may not be as robust as other drugs of abuse."

Not "addiction" but cannabis use disorder that conforms to the Koob and Volkow model of addiction. Hmmm...

eta because well, funny : "Chronic cannabis use is also associated with the presence of cannabis cue-induced craving after abstinence (Filbey et al.

). The presence of cannabis cue-induced craving seems to be related to the loss of executive control over excessive salience for cannabis (Norberg et al.

). In addition, chronic cannabis use has been linked to impaired memory and IQ, suggesting changes in executive functioning after chronic cannabis use. However, IQ deficits appear to be present before initiation of cannabis use which may suggest that lower IQ could be a risk factor for cannabis addiction (Jackson et al.

I'll smoke a cigarette when I have a good buzz.
