Does getting high a bunch change how it effects you? (lemm.ee)

Found myself in a pretty terrible place mental health wise for a few years. Every day after work was 20-60mg edibles, a bowl or three, and vaping. I did this with some incredibly toxic people.

I'm back on track with my life now and only smoke occasionally. But now when I get high I just fucking panic. I'm talking one single joint and I'm in full blown stoned panic. It's not eating junk food and laughing at stupid movies any more. It's being terrified that everyone hates me and that I'm wasting my life and stressing about climate change the increasingly fascist government. I literally cannot relax when I'm high any more.

Is this a thing that happens? How do I go back to a happy high?

Iirc Canada did a study and apparently you only get about 12% extraction through smoking. The rest is broken down and forms the carbon particulates that make up smoke. A good vape can maybe get you 80%+.

Anecdotally, when I dropped smoking in favour of vaping, my consumption halved, meanwhile I was getting more high than ever.

Hah you just named my two go to vapes. Mighty for normal use, dynavap for when the zombie apocalypse breaks out and there isn't much electricity.

But I understand some people like the taste of smoking. Maybe I'm lucky that I tried a really nice vaporiser bong in Amsterdam 20 years ago, early on, so when the portable ones got near to that standard it was already kind of nostalgic.

I can't have a vape. I won't stop hitting it until it's gone. The smoke at least forces me to stop because it hurts.
