Do you get high?

My wife is a medical marijuana user and has been for years but it's always sort of been a bumpy up and down sort of thing. She says it helps her medical issues, and even enjoys marijuana, but she's always hit or miss and can complain, sometimes quite loudly, that she can't get high.
There's little rhyme or reason to what gets her high and what doesn't, sometimes the same cannabis product "doesn't get her high." Sometimes she'll come off to me like she's high and everything seems like she's high, eyes, mindset, ect. But she claims she isn't high.
There's a couple big problems with this;
1- it can be distressing to her and she will act irrationally, or angry, or depressed, ect. This can last days at a time or be on and off for weeks or simply not seem to be a problem at all; depending on timing.
2- she often will say she can't get high and smoke all of our stash with almost obsessive smoke sessions. I need it as a medication for different reasons myself and I've been smoking well over 20 years and don't have this problem of being unable to get high; so I'm sure you can understand where this gets frustrating.
Ect... Ect... Ect...
She's tried vape carts, edibles, flower, various vape systems, balms, but nothing lasts. Sooner or later she says she can't get high. Sometimes it's the first time with a product, sometimes it's a product she knows and likes, makes no difference.
So can you get high? Does anyone else experience this?

I do get high but after periods of smoking regularly for months I've noticed I need increasing amounts to get me to the same high. There are a bunch of variables to consider but personally the best thing that helps when I'm needing more than I'd like to is take a tolerance break. Yes it sucks but the first smoke after that break makes it worth it

Yeah I definitely understand that as I get that too but tolerance break isn't something she's open to. Besides there's a real possibility that she'll claim she didn't get high anyway.

I had this problem once. I was smoking like, 1/2 oz a day personally… but was during a time when I could only get one kind. Variety keeps it close to “new” this is why I have 4 different strains/cultivars in one tent and 3 in another as well as two more different in germ rt now. I don’t consume as much as I did, being that life and responsibilities take precedence… gram to g+1/2 a night. And, you get “high” every time… you may not feel it the same though. I have one hit in me and I’m high. I will be real high soon. Also not just strains… but ind, sat, hyb, and keif, and hash, dabs, live rosin… it all gets me high but in different ways and degrees. Have y’all ever tried a good mid level 1:1 THC:CBD? Many studies claim 1:1 is the best option for both feeling high and medical needs. Tell you rt now, 30 yrs ago we had 7-10 and sometimes 12% THC in what we are smoking. Now we have consistently 20+ in most strains. I got higher back then… only other option is tolerance break which, I’ve gleaned, is not an option.

You are basically describing me when you describe yourself LMAO.
My wife on the other hand would sort of agree with this but she still has this same complaint which is perplexing to me because like you I always feel something, maybe not tore back but I feel SOMETHING.
She agrees that she can tell a difference between various concentrates, and flowers, and what have you but she can break it down to "it's not helping." Which I'm not sure what she is needing different.
Ps. I much enjoy 1:1 products as well.

Now we're talking!!

Good topic!

Neither my wife nor i get really high. We do dispo weed only, many diff
varieties, flowers mostly, but extracts, hash, kief, vapes, store tinctures, home made tinctures, you name it we
tried it. Kind of a buzz, but not really. Plus the smoke is so harsh, usually.
So, recently i scored some from a diff source and it's about the same as
the dispo stuff. I seek a flavorful, mellow smoke, no harshness, no cough,
not too much gooey tar, and a good high. What I see growing in RIU looks
like it's got to be that some of it would be exactly what I want, but until i try it how
would I know, yanno. Wife has COPD so she can only smoke like 3 or 4 hits, I
usually do 5 or 6 hits. In old days we'd toke a joint each, if not more, but I'm
sure that's not it, because the smoke of recent years, and even in the old days
was good enough for one or two tokes to get stoned. I dunno, maybe I'm not
expressing myself too well here.

Ah yeah I can definitely agree to a point here. A lot of the dispensary stuff here locally is VERY similar.
Do you grow your own? This has really helped me find variety in recent years. A lot of the street stuff is similar in quality to each other, with some variety mixed in but it's almost as bad as dispensary variety. We almost exclusively consume dispensary or home grown and I personally have no complaints.
The points you raise are interesting though and I'm not sure if there's a connection there or not with my situation.
Here's a kicker- sometimes my wife and I will smoke the same weed and I'll find it mild, while she claims it gets her stoned, but unfortunately this is fleeting for her.

Bra shes like me i have a very hard time getting high so i switched too dabs! If shes got iron lungs buy her some good potent wax and give her .3 dabs trust me shell be blitzed

No, i'm too chicken to try.

As to the effects, we get high, but only kinda high. Not really stoned, yanno.
I remember getting red eyed, blasted back in the old days. I'd buy some of
Alex's ounces, and we'd all just be red eyed stoned. This is back in the '60s man.
We're in our 70s now. We abstained for some 25 years until legalization back
6 or 7 years ago. I thought "oh boy, look at the varieties of great sensemilla in
the stores". And have been grossly disappointed ever since. I wonder if it's our
age sometimes, i just don't know. Maybe the brain receptors have degraded?

I'm just not too sure about that. Never tried dabs yet. It's like, I just
roll joints. No pipes, don't want the smelly mess all over the place. Tight
neighborhood here. So we go out on the back porch at night and have our
little smoke session, and that's about it. I keep things very clean and tidy, due
to smell, and stigma of smoking cannabis, even tho legal, many don't like it.

I don't smoke and it's been about 20 years since I did. But I found changing the setting where you smoked helped. Like go sit on the beach, light one up and listen to the waves, go up a mountain of a night and lay down and look at the stars etc.

I found sitting in the same chair, doing the same thing didn't help change the outcome.

Bra i remember back in the 90's and early 2000's i would buy some dank and get obliterated into outer space and these days i smoke and unless im taking huge dabs i dont feel like i get "stoned" anymore. maybe it is because we are old and our brains degraded lmfao

this.

I can smoke a bowl and be mildly buzzed at home, but the same bowl would feel much stronger if i was somewhere less familiar.

Still, that's not how I remember getting stoned. I tell ya, when i used to smoke,
good stuff, that is, it didn't matter where i was. I only felt safer, less 'noid if i
was at home, but high as hell never the less.

Same thing is was happening to my wife and I. I was growing with an older, disabled guy. He wanted to be in charge of the bloom room. His house, his rules I guess.

Weed was decent at first, 1 or 2 cookies would do the trick when I made butter. I got pretty sick, and was away for a year. During that time, he just lost the joy of growing. Lost the passion.

Mites took over, lights were broken (some on a different time schedule). Hermies, beaners, harvesting way too early. Starting the "flush" at week 5, starving them.

Anyways..

Me and my wife took a trip to Massachusetts. Thinking our shit sucks, let's get some good quality dispo stuff. Get high this weekend, go camping, get home and start our own grow. We bought 12 bags of gummies, distillate (500mg), wax, flower, prerolls, 10 chocolate bars (100mg ea).

Started smoking the prerolls, ate ALL the gummies, downed 2 chocolate bars. Should be good right? Maybe bordering on a bit too much? Hour later, nothing. Ate the rest of the chocolate bars, split the distillate. Nothing. Got back to camp, smoked the flower, and the wax. Finished the prerolls by the campfire.

Nothing but sore lungs. I get the fiend smoking. In her head she's like wtf, why am I not getting high? Especially when it provides relief, she's probably panicking because the one thing she had to escape mysteriously doesn't work anymore.

We went like that for 6 or 7 months. My partner harvesting early the whole time. Bought new strains, he butchered them. Dispo crap is all harvested early too. Smells like hay, clear trichomes, just put in the ground to take your money by a farmer who treats it like corn.

Started back up at my place January 1st. Harvested the first batch 10 weeks later (took some clones). We have been high again since mid March, and elated to be back.

I suggest you buy a tent, exhaust fan/filter, oscillating fans, good full spectrum led, build a sip, buy a new bong, and show your wife how much you love her by growing some bomb ass grass

I think she need to get everything else in check. Weed stops working if you're nutrient deficient. Magnesium deficiency is probably the main reason.

I said I'm not willing to grow. It's illegal to do that unless you have med card, which I don't.
For sure, I've priced a grow kit for about $700. And I'd love to do it, but i do NOT want to go back to jail again.
