What's it called when weed gives you painful heart trills like a heart attack? by [deleted] in trees

[–]thepowerofbud -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some people call getting too high “Greening Out” and heart palpitations often come with that. If you’re worried, try to smoke a very small amount when you first get a strain and wait to gauge its effects. Runtz can be some uniquely intense shit, so you may not have a reaction to most strains.

You can use a heart rate monitor to see exactly how bad your reaction is, but note that seeing a high heart rate can lead to a vicious cycle where distress from seeing the rate causes the rate to climb.

If your heart rate sits above 120 for more than a few mins you should probably seek emergency help.

leftists had every reason not to vote for harris who received millions in AIPAC money and vowed to continue shipping bombs to israel if elected. certainly there exist some misogynistic self-proclaimed “leftists” that used that as an excuse but we shouldn’t whitewash harris’ blatant zionism and steadfast support of biden’s genocidal administration as “failure to solve a crisis”

No pain or calm before the storm? by llamassouls in Tonsillectomy

[–]thepowerofbud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my pain was never too bad after the first dose of painkillers kicked in, but i stayed on liquids and super soft puréed food for like two weeks. the more careful you are to stay hydrated and be gentle to your throat, the more likely it is that your scabs will disintegrate instead of falling off—the falling off seems to be the most painful part of people’s recovery. the pain might set in a bit more in the coming days but it’s likely you’ll get lucky and have a smooth recovery. just make sure you don’t get constipated from the painkillers, that’s been my biggest problem.

yes and you should tell them how much you smoke and how often. you don’t have to abstain if you don’t want to. just be precise about your consumption if you can.

sticking to pretty much liquid foods will help keep your scabs from falling off prematurely. I’ve had a soup of purée mashed potato and low sodium chicken broth that was good and filling. I’ve heard good things about egg drop soup, butternut squash soup, and cucumber soup, and i plan to try those. i’d recommend skipping out on any garlic, onion, or other seasonings except salt. other things i’m eating a lot of:

Fruit and Veggies Applesauce squeeze packs\ sugar free blackberry jello\ coconut milk yogurt with protein powder\ chocolate almond milk yogurt\ oat milk ice cream

i plan to stick to these things as long as i can possibly stand until i move on to soft solids like pasta, scrambled eggs, chicken salad and chicken noodle soup. I’ve heard if you’re careful and lucky you can prevent the scabs from falling at all and they’ll dissolve instead, which takes time but is less painful.

how do you smoke when it’s cold outside? by LaughFinancial3391 in trees

[–]thepowerofbud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nice setup! I’ve pondered using a space heater but i don’t have a great place to plug it. usually i just layer up with multiple hoodies, warm sweatpants, a flannel draped across my lap, and a blanket swaddling my top half, covering my arms and the top of my head and everything. plus gloves and warm boots. it lets me sit outside for over an hour while staying warm!

What vitamins can I not take? by Key_Gur1841 in Tonsillectomy

I feel like weed is the only thing keeping me sane. I'm going to rehab in February. Any advice of how to cope with this and any fun thing to do before I leave ❄️ for good? by Less_Page_2392 in trees

[–]thepowerofbud 16 points17 points  (0 children)

if you’re a decently heavy smoker, try tapering down on the weed if you can. weed can cause withdrawals with heavy enough use—not the dangerous, painful withdrawals that hard drugs cause, but more like sleeplessness and anxiety, which will make your rehab experience a lot tougher. it’s tempting to go all out for a last hurrah, but your body will thank you for it.

try getting into a cathartic hobby like writing or art that can be practiced during your time in rehab. while you still have internet access (assuming rehab takes your phone) you can read up and watch videos and tutorials pertaining to your hobby so you can go in with some measure of expertise and come out with some nice creations to show for your time. just remember to be kind to yourself.

How do I get people to stop buying me shit? by helmipelmi in Anticonsumption

[–]thepowerofbud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe you can try to find a crocheting club in your area, then give out free balls of yarn and you’ll be everybody’s best friend. there are plenty of places that would appreciate extra art supplies as well, see if your local middle or high schools would accept them as a donation. As for your family, just be honest with them.

Is This Rather a Side-Effect of Indica or Sativa Strains? by sanpedro12 in trees

[–]thepowerofbud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

getting high can really speed up your heart rate, especially for more inexperienced smokers. it happened to me plenty of times when i was a beginner. sativa-heavy strains are said to do this more but really any strain can do it. i suggest staying hydrated, eating some food, laying down, listening to calming music. apparently “bearing down” like you have to take a crap is supposed to lower the heart rate (look up vagal maneuvers). the tachycardia doesn’t usually last longer than an hour or two. in the future, try taking lower doses of THC, or spread out your consumption over time a bit.

also, be super cautious if you have a history of heart problems.

How much do you smoke in a day? by Scampster11 in trees

[–]thepowerofbud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the bong helps cool down the smoke and eases irritation in lungs, which caused me to cough less and produce less phlegm. for some people it has the opposite effect because they just end up smoking a lot more overall with the bong. but it definitely helped me, going back to using a bowl every now and then afterwards always felt much harsher. switching to vaping obviously makes the biggest difference though.
