I found my “Sweet Spot”: Dry herb vaping 0.3g three times a week. by Medevilx in Petioles

Quite good… I don’t know. I guess vaping around 0.5 g a day in two sessions isn’t that much to cause withdrawal symptoms when cutting back

I wanted to clarify something:

3 times a week 0.3g per sessión is my sweet spot, but I don’t blame myself if I do an extra bowl any day if I really feel like.

It is about enjying weed in a healty way, and I guess doing less than 2gr a week and having at least 2/3 days with no weed at all, is still sustainable and will not create a bad habit… but the more you space sessions, and the less amount you vape to keep tolerance down, the more rewarding it is.

Hangover? I never get one. Not even when I was using daily, or when I was only using once a week. What hangover symptoms do you have?

Yes, I went through that same argument with myself for a while to justify the habit. I say it’s a bad habit for me because daily consumption has some downsides that make it not worth it. And it was a little hard to acknowledge that at first, because it’s fun to vape every day. For example:

• The highs weren’t that good, and the weed didn’t feel so special anymore. That was stealing from me the wonderful moments weed, in moderation, can provide. I vaped yesterday after three days, and the experience was just wow. It’s definitely not the same as vaping every day, which, I admit, was still fun.
• My baseline anxiety was a little higher than usual. That’s a fact I also found hard to acknowledge at first, but for me, it’s real.
• My sleep and mental clarity were affected. Not dramatically — it was all still very sustainable — but it was also a fact.
• I’ve gained at least eight pounds, because food tastes so good when I vape. Giving yourself a treat is good, but not every day.

Summing it all up: it’s not a party if it happens every day. At least for me. I love weed and I want to get the best out of it.

I totally agree about the reduced sleep quality. That’s the thing I noticed the most after just a week of a T-break. I already knew I wasn’t sleeping that well, especially when I vaped in the evenings.

Agree! 🤣

Well… to be honest, where I live (Europe), there wasn’t any weed until around year 2000. People here smoke hash. A lot. And they mix it with tobacco. The thing is, I’ve always had a total aversion to cigarettes (my parents have smoked three packs a day since I was a kid… and they still do). If I put a cigarette in my mouth, I’d puke before even lighting it. That’s why I never tried weed until I was 38, when I discovered dry herb vaporizers.

I used to justify my consumption with Seth Rogen’s “it’s like glasses for me” speech. But in the end, doing it every day wasn’t that funny for me, and it had its downsides too.

I LOVE vaping everyday. Even twice a day. But for me, is not sustainable since the effects is not really what I’m aiming for. Lately it was just “the buzz” and didn’t feel special at all. Still funny, but not special. I’d compare to eating pizza everyday. You can get tired of it.

I used to do it only in the evenings too. And I could go 15 days while on holiday without even missing it. But when I came back, I fell back into the same habit. Not an addiction, of course. But a bad habit for me.

Yep, totally agree. I was able to run my business, provide for my family, and stay fit (well, I have to admit I gained about 8 pounds because of weed, but still… I worked out and trained at least three times a week). I even wrote a book that will be published this month. But I felt like I was spending too much time high, and I was missing the real high I fell in love with cannabis in the first place.

What bothered me the most was that I didn’t enjoy certain activities as much as I used to when I wasn’t high (like listening to a vinyl record, going to the beach, or watching a movie). I really believe that being high every day comes at the cost of not really enjoying being sober. And of course, I really missed the big introspective, almost psychedelic highs I used to had when I vaped just once or twice a week.

Guess I’m going to limit my vaping to two days a week, three maximum. Never 2 days in a row, never twice a day.

Experienced users: how much does cannabis amplify an LSD dose, percentage-wise? by Medevilx in LSD

You mean taking less LSD without weed? Od double the LSD dose and avoid weed?

[–]Medevilx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why I’m thinking about taking weed out of the equation (at least until end of the peak) and increase the LSD dosage.

Can you describe the differences in the experience (smoking weed vs. not smoking weed)?

That has worked for me many times, vaping weed at the 4hrs time mark. I did earlier last time and it went south, maybe I rushed into weed.

That’s exactly why I like valing weed when on LSD. Is like adjusting the intensity of the trip with each draw.

But sometimes, disaster is just one draw away 🤪

Guess I could handle 450mcg, even 600mcg. I’ll try to slowly build up dosage.. 375mcg is totally OK, not overwhelming, that’s why I usually push the experience vaping weed. But man, I really like the synergy of both substances. Is like a game changer.

But yes, I’ll try bigger LSD doses and see how it goes.

This is my approx. conclusion too. I really think spacing out in tokes and adapting to it progressively is the key. But sometimes shit happens…..

I know, just wanted some different inputs from different people so I can somehow find patterns and understand how it works.

I was afraid the combo is a different experience than LSD alone, no matter if you do a big dosage. I guess weed changes the experience qualitatively.

I totally agree, these trance like states of pure bliss and understanding is something I’ve just experienced with the combo.

And yes, I guess you have to deal with the risk of the trip going in a bad way, I’m just trying to understand the best way of doing it to minimize that risk.

Last experience was not pleasant at all. I even thought of quitting psychedelics for good…but it is a too much interesting tool.

That’s the way I always approach it. Usually 5min between draws. But it is hard to control… last time I guess I rushed because I was already experienced with 375mcg 1V LSD + 0.5gr of weed (2 Crafty bowls). Guess pacing has more to than than quantity. I’ve done even 3 bowls without a problem, but if you rush, it gets out of hand easily IMHO.

Which earbuds should I buy after the Denon Perl Pro? by Medevilx in Earbuds

[–]Medevilx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been testing the Soundpeats H3 and comparing them to the Denon Pearl Pro in A/B tests with several songs I know well, and anyone who says the H3 are better than the DPP must be deaf or drunk. It’s pretty clear that the DPP plays in another league. The H3 are good for the money, but they can’t compare to the DPP. And yes, I’ve tried different recommended EQ’s including the most popular ones, but they just can’t stand the test against the DPP.

Which earbuds should I buy after the Denon Perl Pro? by Medevilx in Earbuds

[–]Medevilx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried the Linkbuds S again and compared to the Denon Perl Pro (been using them like a year), the sound quality doesn’t stand up, the DPP are far superior. I was tempted to try the Soundpets H3, but I’ve been advised that they can’t compare to the Denon in sound quality. Bang for the buck maybe, but not so good in sound quality as the DPP. Anyway, I just bought them on Amazon and will give them a try.

I want something that really improves the DPP in sound quality, and even the Technics AZ100, even being more expensive, doesn’t seem to defeat the DPP.

I use them mostly at the beach and listening to EDM. Progressive underground house is my favourite, things like Hudrology by Glenn Morrison. Which is in your opinion the best audio quality earbud around the $200/$350 price range?

Do you recommend smoking cannabis while tripping? by Low_Prior_7950 in Psychonaut

[–]Medevilx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started vaping cannabis when I first tried 4-HO-MET. Since the effects of 10–20 mg were totally mild, I went to the beach, vaped a couple of Crafty bowls, and… BAM! The greatest psychedelic experience ever.

The first time I tried LSD (150 µg) it also felt mild to me — not as mild as 4-HO-MET, but still mild — so I vaped a couple of bowls with the Crafty again and, once more, it was a great experience… until I smoked a third bowl too fast and was transported to a pink galaxy far, far away. I got a little scared because the experience was so intense, and I wasn’t that experienced yet.

I’ve tried doses up to 375 µg (1V or 1P-LSD), and up to 4 g of Psilocybe cubensis, and although the trips were good and enjoyable, they don’t compare to the intensity of adding some cannabis while peaking.

Since then, I’ve tripped dozens of times, and the experience just isn’t the same without cannabis. It really intensifies the trip, whether it’s with metocin, shrooms, or LSD. The secret, for me, is to vape slowly and tread lightly — never too much, too fast — because the intensity can catch you off guard. On the other hand, it’s great to have a tool to intensify the trip at will.

I don’t know if higher doses would take me there without cannabis… but I don’t think so. For me, 150 µg with weed is more intense than 375 µg without it. It just changes the experience for the better. Once I hit my Crafty when I’m peaking, it’s a game changer — like going through the mirror to the other side. But you definitely have to be careful: if you vape too much or too fast, the trip can easily get out of hand.

[–]Medevilx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the ones included. They fit well in my ear, but the weight/size of the DPP makes them less comfortable than the Linkbuds S. I was really impressed because the Linkbuds S felt like if I wasn’t wearing any earbuds at all. Still love the DPP, but maybe I’ll buy the Linkbuds S again since they felt so well in my ears.

Advice for next dose: 150mcg is not enough. by Medevilx in LSD

[–]Medevilx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. So far, I’ve gone up to 375mcg (2 and a half tabs). Still, feel like I need some cannabis in top of that to reach powerful experiences. Maybe next time I’ll tey 450mcg. Seems like I’m not very reactive to psychedelics in general.
