(3,894 posts)Just as not all booze has the same effect on an individual, neither is all mj identical with identical characteristics. There's busy pot, one might smoke before a day in the garden, but not good for setting around by oneself with nothing to do, as it will cause ansty-ness when hands are idle, there's sleepy pot for when you want to relax, veg, or sleep.
People all over say and believe and I think they are correct, "man, I can't drink Tequila, it makes me crazy" and I've seen how bourbon and sour mash whicskey seem to make men (sorry never knew any women bourbon drinkers) very pushy and borderline aggressive, rum seems to make people a bit happy go lucky, ... well mj is no different.
Regardless, you would never be forced to smoke if it was legal, nor would anyone else. Just a folks are capable of saying and following thru with, "man I don't drink tequila because..." and you seem to analyze your situation and determine likely that mj isn't your cup of tea, there's no more to worry about than there already is with alcohol.
Secondly, how much you smoke can make a huge difference. I have found that pot, again like mj, isn't instantaneous. So I inhale 2-3 puffs (like cig puffs, not TOKES) and then I hang for 5 minutes before smoking more. Usually within that 5 minutes it kicks in a little and I don't want or need anymore. But if I'm not thinking, same as with tall cold highballs in the summer, I might overdo before I realize it, and then that kind of antsy feeling comes over me too.
If you are determined to smoke, which there's no reason to choose such, then try to buy the right pot for your choice, and then take the time to smoke it you are comfortable with, rather than what you see others do in movies, which is normally way over-smoking compared to anyone I know in real life.
