- Two questions --
-
-
- In the bay area recently, I've been hearing a lot of rumors about
- "Stanford weed." From culling together all the rumors, this stuff
- is being produced somewhere at Stanford in conjunction with the
- medicinal marijuana movement in SF (which isn't legal yet, as far
- as I know, which I why I mistrust this rumor). The main quality of
- this stanford weed is that its *strong.* People who I know who have
- cliamed to have had Stanford weed say that a single hit is enough
- to leave you heavily stoned for hours
-
- Has anyone in the bay area run across this stuff? Does anyone happen
- to know if its really from Stanford, or if its just a really good
- batch of weed floating through the area?
-
-
- My second question is sort of related. I was fortunate enough to
- be given a small bud of what my friend described as "really good pot."
- she warned me that only a small bit of this pot would do the job.
-
- I smoked perhaps two thirds of it over a two week period (I'm a
- really casual pot smoker), and didn't notice that it was especially
- strong. But I never smoked that much of it at a time.
-
- Until a couple days ago, when I finished off the bud with my boyfriend.
- He hadn't smoked in a number of years, but we figured that there
- simply wasn't enough of the bud left to go overboard.
-
- We each had about four hits a piece -- and small hits, not massive
- brain-clogging breathing smoke for three days afterwards hits.
-
- In about twenty minutes I found myself completely and utterly unable
- to move. Apathy is one thing with pot, but this was almost like
- *physical* paralyzation. Shortly after that the hallucinations started --
- the crutains across the room were moving, and so was the carpet. I
- have never had hallucinations on pot. The spins set in soon afterward,
- which were ok to deal with as long as I didn't close my eyes. Also,
- time started to slow down and do strange things, almost exactly the
- way it does when I'm on nitrous. I had never noticed any time distortions
- of this sort while stoned (except that its a great way to waste it :)
-
- It was about that time (maybe half an hour after the last hit) that my
- boyfriend announced that he wasn't feeling well and when I questioned
- him more and more he got more and more panicked. He's no stranger to
- pot -- when he was in school (Humboldt State, no less) he was a severe
- pothead. He claimed afterwards that he was almost certain that he was
- going to die, and had to keep repeating to himself that no one ever
- died from pot. I tried to reassure him, but his freaking out was
- making me freak out. He finally just slid off the couch onto the
- floor and lay with his head down. I coulndt get him to move anywhere,
- and finally I just gave up since it was so hard to get *me* to move
- anywhere.
-
- It was another half an hour before either of us could move. We went
- directly to bed, and both of us had nasty nightmares all night.
- We compared notes in the morning, and he had much the same symptoms
- that I had -- paralysis, visual and audio halluncintations, time
- distortion...
-
- Both of us are very experienced with pot in all strengths. But this
- was far above and beyond either of our exerpeiences, and it *wasn't*
- pleasant. I began to get a nagging feeling that the pot had been
- coated with something. But it looked and smelled just like pot,
- and the first few tiems I smoked it nothing as dramatic happened.
-
- So I draw upon the wisdom of the net -- did we just happen upon some
- *really* strong pot? Is this what's supposed to happen in extreme
- amounts? Or was it treated with something, and if so, what?
