An often unasked question

So I have a problem. I love smoking good, sticky, tasty weed. But I'm fairly sensitive to THC, and a small hit of good marijuana gets me plenty blazed. However, I would love to have a whole joint of good weed to myself, be able to enjoy the act of smoking it, and then not be uncomfortably high. This leaves me with a choice between smoking more low quality brick weed, or sticking to only being able to smoke small amounts of good, flavorful weed. But then it occurred to me:

What about male plants? When growing, people quickly remove plants revealed to be male in order to stop seeding, and then get rid of the plant since it has much less THC and isn't worth it in any commercial growers mind. But how much less is it? Could one purposefully cultivate male plants and get quality, tasty buds for smoking, but with a greatly reduced THC content? Has anyone tried smoking male plants before? How is the taste/smoke compared to usual female buds? I'm thinking something like O'Dweeds from the Chapelle's show skit, but with enough THC to get someone with a more average THC tolerance a little high after a joint to themselves.
Thanks!

How would you define; " uncomfortably high?"

Maybe what you should consider doing it looking on an actual medicinal marijuana site and find some strains that are for people who suffer from anxiety, strains that relax you and made you feel happy.

Male plants do not produce buds because what people call buds are actually clusters of individual flowers. Each seed pod, that together with very large numbers of others growing together making up a bud, is an individual female flower and they do not form on males, so you will not be able to grow males and get weaker buds.

You just need to do some strain research and then grow and smoke the right strains.

Forget the male plants.

Try what I do. For 'social smoke', like for just myself or where I want to be able to share an entire joint, I harvest some of my crop ~2 weeks early. When fully mature, it's 2 hits and quit and a lot of times, just too damn strong.

With the early harvest, you can share a j and still have a conversation after.

Why not mix some tobaccoe 50/50 with your weed. Heard they do it in Europe. Would still have good taste and not as much weed you'd be smoking.

sounds like you need a pure indica and just get relaxed ,just my 2cent
It wouldn't have to be a pure indica. It would only have to be the right sativa/indica crosses. A pure or heavy indica is good for evenings or night but if someone has to work or get things done during the say something with a fair amount of sativa in it, that is still a relaxing type, is a better option.

I just do not understand the desire to be able to smoke an entire joint or bowl. Most people search for a true one hit wonder, not something that you can smoke and smoke and smoke and only get but so high. If it were me I would look for something where one or two hits did the job, made me feel like I want or like to feel and be relaxed and just enjoy it rather than look for some Roadside Red where I could smoke an ounce and just have a slight buzz.

Here are a few various stains known to have medicinal use for anti-anxiety.

Strain Name: Kush​
Grade: A​
Type: Indica​
Looks: Super dense buds that look like mini golf balls. Bright green loaded with crystals and bright orange hair. (9/10)​
Smell: Strong kush smell with a hint of pine and a dash of skunk. When I smelled this – I knew it was for the win. (9/10)​
Taste: Kush and fresh pine. Just like it smells. Standard kush taste that is oh-so delicious! (9/10)​
Effects: Night time use. TV Check. Remote Check. Couch Check. Powerful couch lock narcotic like stone. Good strain for pain, headaches, anti-anxiety, relaxing, asthma, insomnia, and appetite stimulation. Superb medicinal strains. (9/10)​
Potency: Very Strong (9/10)
Strain Name: AK47​
Grade: A-​
Type: Hybrid – Sativa Dominant​
Looks: Dark yellowish green buds completely covered in an avalanche of crystals. Very little hairs, what hairs are present are a dark amber red and are only visible when breaking up the buds. (7/10)​
Smell: Strong pungent skunky smell mixed with berry fruit, diesel exhaust and diesel fuel. This strain is a room reaker. (9/10)​
Taste: Has a weird distinct taste. It tastes like the way an old crawl space smells – sweet musty taste with a hint of pine. Doesn’t taste as good as it smells. I think the taste could have been a result of too much nutrients or lack of a proper flush during the grow. (7/10)​
Effects: Day time use with a thc tolerance, night time use only with a low tolerance. I see why they call it AK47 because this strain is killer! I’m a seasoned vet and this strain had me traveling the world in the clouds. Good strain for relaxing, anti-anxeity, couchlock, pain relief, and insomnia. (9/10)​
Potency: Very Strong (9/10)
Strain Name: Diesel​
Grade: A-​
Type: Hybrid – Sativa 70% / Indica 30%​
Looks: Super bright green and bright orange hairs – fairly dense buds. The bright orange hairs look like they are pouring out of bud. Crystal heavily cover the entire bud. (9/10)​
Smell: When the jar is cracked it smells like a delicious freshly sliced grapefruit and sugary rice crispies. When it’s ground up it smells like grapefruit and unburnt diesel fuel. Smells yummy! (9/10)​
Taste: Fresh grapefruit berry green taste with a touch of sour on the inhale. The exhale was a little rough not as fruity as it should have been. Fruity taste is not as strong as the smell, but it definitely tastes like some chronic. (8/10)​
Effects: Day time use. Ever hear of 5 hour energy? Well this is a 2 hour energy punch! Had me bouncing off the walls with new creative ideas. Pretty much getting stuff done on my to do list that has been there since 2009 ;) Even with the energy burst, I was chillaxed to the max, I could feel my eyelids dropping. Great medical strain for energy, creative thoughts, and anti-anxiety. Perfect balance of sativa and indica. The effects lasted a long time, I was feeling it hours later. (9/10)​
Potency: Strong (9/10)


Strain Name: Star Nebula​
Grade: B+​
Type: Indica
Looks: Like some dank! Darker green buds with deep thick orange hairs. Every part of the green is covered with tons of frosty crystals. The buds are fairly compact. (9/10)​
Smell: When its not ground up it smells like a small mom and pops pet store, a combination of fish aquarium chemicals and wet dog. With strong hints of lemon and a very potent strong skunk smell. Has a very strong reak to it. When it’s ground up it has a strong chemically lemon smell similar to the lemon heads candy with unburnt petrolium fuel and fresh greens. Has a strong after smell of skunk. A small amount of this strain will stink up a room like lemony skunk lives there. (7/10)​
Taste: I thought for sure it would taste like lemons, but surprisingly it didn’t. The best way to describe the taste would be a faint taste of lemons, mixed with clay, fresh earth, petroleum fuel and slight hint fish aquarium chemicals all overpowered by skunk. Similar to the smell. It tastes pretty damn good. (8/10)​
Effects: Night time use. This strain is very potent! I’m talking melting into the couch – eyes on fire kind of potent. A tiny bud through the volcano put me on a plane that was soon to be destined to the kitchen. Excellent strain for anti-anxiety, increased appetite, pain relief, and insomnia. Strong indica effects! (9/10)​
Potency: Strong (9/10)


Strain Name: Medicine Man
Grade: A-​
Type: Indica (Organic Grow)​
Looks: Chunky light green buds with bright orange hairs. Tons of hairs that hang off the buds like troll hair. Lots of crystals cover every green part of the bud.(8/10)​
Smell: Very fresh earthy smell with hints of berry fruit. When I broke it up it smelled liked fresh berries. Smells absolutely delicious! (9/10)​
Taste: Has a great fresh crisp earthy taste with a faint hint of sourness, the organic grow really showed up in the great taste. Very smooth. (9/10)​
Effects: Night time use. This is a great strain for pain relief, relaxing, and anti-anxiety. Provided an almost narcotic like effect and had me nearly couchlocked. Was somewhat clear headed and able to get stuff done in the process. Too much and its sleepy time. Powerful medicinal effects to say the least. (8/10)​
Potency: Strong (9/10)


Strain Name: Chocolope​
Grade: A+​
Type: Hybrid – 60% Sativa / 40% Indica
Looks: Super dense buds that are light green with tons of dark orange and dark red hairs. Buds look real dense like golf balls. (10/10)​
Smell: It smells delicious like a strong piece of juicy fruit gum with a slight hint of skunk. (10/10)​

Effects: Day and night time use. Excellent medicinal effects. Provided an energetic, creative like effects. Good for pain relief, relaxing, munchies, and for getting stuff done. A few tokes too many and it provides a narcotic like couch lock which is great for sleeping. This is some FIRE! (10/10)​

Strain Name: Bubblegum​
Grade: B​
Type: Hybrid – Sativa Dominant​
Looks: Light green with lots of bright orange hairs. The buds are kind of airy. Has TONS of crystals that looks like snow. (8/10)​
Smell: When the jar is cracked it smells similar to a piece of old school bazooka bubblegum. When its ground up it has a strong citus like smell with hints of manufactured plastic and bazooka bubble gum. (9/10)​
Taste: Has a decent sweet and wet earthy taste on the inhale, similar to the smell before it’s ground up. The exhale tastes like burnt campfire leaves. The taste on the exhale is from the grow and not the strain, as I’ve had bubblegum before that tasted like bubblegum chewing gum. (6/10)​
Effects: Night time use. Provided powerful medicinal effects. Worked great for pain, relaxing and anti-anxiety. I was expecting more of a sativa like effect, but it felt like it was more on the heavy indica side. I was on verge of being couched locked, but still very energetic at the same time. One bowel from the volcano was more than enough to get er’ done. (8/10)​
Potency: Strong (8/10)

Strain Name: Jack Herer
Grade: B
Type: Hybrid (Haze) – Sativa dominant
Looks: This variety’s long-fingered leaves and dense, grape-cluster bud formations appear light green due to the frosty resin coating. The few hairs on the buds turn brick red as the plant matures
Smell: The smell is fresh with a signature Haze accent and a pleasin hint of skunkiness.
Taste: Fairly fruity strain, not harsh
Effects: lung expansion and possibly visually enhancing or silly effects. Head high with little chance of couch lock.
Potency: Strong strain – high effectively lasts 2-3 hours


Strain Name: Tangerine Kush
Grade: A+
Type: Indica
Looks: Rich green dense buds with a bit of leaf and bright dark orange / red hairs. (9/10)
Smell: It smells like kush and unburnt diesel fuel. When it’s ground up it gets a really strong smell of kush, unburnt diesel fuel and skunk. The smell when its ground up reminds me of a spare rib, it has this twang to it. Some of the strongest smelling medicine EVER. A small bud will reak up the WHOLE house when the jar is cracked. This is the stuff you smell before you even see it. If you’re trying to be discrete with the smell, look for another strain. (10/10)
Taste: Super heavy kush taste. With hints of a fresh pine tree forest. The kush taste is so overpowering, that I have to change the volcano bag afterwards or every other bag until it is changed tastes like kush regardless of the strain. (9/10)
Effects: Night time use only. Strong indica effects. Provided a calming, anti-anxiety happy feeling. Noticed although I was in floating haze I was still fully functional and had lots of energy to get stuff done. Too much in one sitting is instant nap time. Works great for high tolerances. Made me really hungry too! (9/10)


Strain Name: Sweet Haze
Breeder: DNA Genetics
Grade: A
Type: Sativa
Looks: Typical medium green with dark orange pistils. And a generous amount of long,plump trichomes covering the entire surface area.
Smell: Very sweet,hazey aroma.
Taste: Like Candy. Smooth smoke.
Effects: Very clear head buzz. Quit long as well. Good for anxiety.
Potency: Moderately high. Not the most potent, but damn satisfying and does the job. Overall this is a fun smoke because it helps with bad vibes and taste and smells awesome when smoking, so it’s almost like an aroma therapy session as well. Can’t wait to use this in my breeding program.


Strain Name: Master Kush Diesel
Grade: B
Genetics: Master Kush x Diesel
Type: Indica
Looks: Long dense buds with a deep bright green and dark red hairs. Some buds have seeds :( (5/10)
Smell: It smells very piney and kushy in the jar. When it’s broken up it has a strong smell of skunk, kush, and pine. It does have a slight musty basement after smell. If it didn’t have the musty basement after smell it would be much better! (6/10)
Taste: Very piney kushy taste on the inhale. The exhale tastes like burnt cardboard. If only the exhale tasted as good as the inhale… (6/10)
Effects: Night time use. Provided a calming anti-anxiety couch locked effect. Worked great for relaxing and sleeping. Too many volcano bags and it was lights out. (7/10)
Potency: Medium / Strong (7/10)


Strain Name: Sensi Star
Grade: A
Type: Indica
Looks: Light green with amber pistils and a great deal of trichomes. Fairly dense nuggets.While growing it looks like torn cotton.

Taste: Sweet hashy taste, and smooth.
Effects: It first hits your head then a body buzz follows quickly afterwards. This is a relaxing herb with no ability to have clear thinking.
Potency: 1-2 Tokes good for 2hrs. A bowl, roughly 4-5 tokes time for bed or the couch and relax. Good for insomnia.

Smell: Very mild as a whole nugget with hints of saffron and butter scotch. Once you break the bud up though the smell of burnt toffee becomes dominant.
Taste: Wow can we say spicy, this bud has a tone of spice to it with nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger being the strongest. Very smooth the taste of nutmeg stays with you for a few moments.

Sounds like you need to smoke a significant amount of cannabis (I'd go For the good tasty Stuff any kind)
You will Be uncomfortably High For about a week Ignore The Uncomfortableness During this time while your tolerance builds.
And soon there will be no unpleasant feeling regardless of how much you smoke, The Uneasy feeling you have will With increased use disappear altogether tho you may have an anxiety attack or two along the way just rememer no one in human history has ever died from any amount of cannabis EVER!! Just use more and you will like it more

The above is more or less true UNLESS like me there is a true physical condition causing his discomfort level. I was born with an extra circuit in my heart and as I grew a little older, mid to late 20's, I began to have a different reaction to virtually any strain than ever before. My heart would race and paranoia would set in. One day I found myself in a hospital emergency room with a heart rate of 237 beats per minute. When I left the emergency room I was told that I had set a record, I had the fasted heat rate of anyone that walked out of the emergency room rather than being wheeled out with a sheet over my entire body, head and all.

For some reason as I aged a bit pot would cause a 'short circuit' in my heart causing the extra circuit to come into play and the electric signal that is produced/generated within a heart causing each chamber to pump in order would "racetrack," as the Doctor worded it causing my heart to beat at an incredible rate and that would cause fear and paranoia and would release adrenaline which would only intensify things making them worse.

Once prescribed a medication that regulates my heartbeat I was able to smoke virtually anything again, the raciest of strains was not at all a problem. But for a while the weakest strain of any type would cause me major problems and damn near caused the end of my life. Had I died it would not have been blamed on cannabis but instead on tachycardia, the name of the particular medical problem, but it would have been cannabis that set it off.

I highly doubt he shares the very same physical problem, but there is always the slight possibility that if almost or every strain can cause increased heart rate and paranoia that it is not what he smokes or how much he smokes but instead what it causes his heart too do.
