Does paranoia from weed change when harvesting milk vs amber?

[OldOneEye]

Most likely a Sativa,
Sativas are energetic, cerebral, active effects. Some strains are known for creating paranoia in some people.
And yes, the earlier the harvest the more profound the effect would be.

Indicas are the hang around, loaf on the couch, zone out kinda high.

When I was a young man, I could smoke as much as I wanted and felt great. After some time, something happened and I found that smoking a lot of weed was no longer pleasant. If I over do it just a little bit, I’m very uncomfortable and paranoid,.. this lasts for 20 minutes, and at times I’m watching the clock for it to end ! It’s really that bad. The after high is nice though for the next hour or so

Sadly, this happens to a lot more people than you think and I’m betting many quit weed for this reason…

I enjoy a puff or two— get pretty high, but avoid going any further than that… How people smoke a whole blunt stuffed with todays weed blows my mind… I just can’t do it !

My tip, smoke a little, not a lot if you are the type to get paranoid… If smoking a little doesn’t work, well weed isn’t for you. I must admit I wonder sometimes and have considered quitting..

quit smoking breeder crap and only smoke/grow landraces..
breeding has ruined the weed buzz,. FACT with breeding to gain something you have to lose something..
FACT there’s a ton of people experiencing psychosis etc using todays marijuana when in comparison this rarely happened before..

Yes ! There are a lot of us out there, maybe too ashamed to admit it. You make a good point, I don’t remember this happening at all back in the 80s, but weed has changed. A LOT!

Let me run a few strains past you that I’ve grown and throughly enjoyed. Northern Lights,
Durban Poison and Master Kush. Would you consider these to be close or closer to the originals opposite the breeder crap you mention? Durban is a landrace (or at least used to be)

I like the old school strains— for me the old school strains have a much better high. BUT, both Durban Poison and Northern Lights will get me nervous if over done… it’s all good, I’m used to it now, if I over do it I tell myself “ hey stupid, this happens all the time, your not having a heart attack”.. take deep breaths slow down and wait 20 minutes to make it out safely..

Why I smoke is a really good question.. I guess I just take it really easy. Did I mention I’ve been smoking daily for years now this way?

If you haven’t seen this it’s really worth the watch… this is me to a T!

i remember most of it was great.. thai stick,. hawaiian..
colombian and mexican was hit or miss,. though we always had excess to hashish and oil here..
yes durban is a landrace.. my avatar is a durban poison.. don’t think i had the other two you mentioned..
i grew feminized afghanica within the last yr or so and every friend loved it, more so than anything else within the last few yrs..

As I understand Northern Lights, it is a cross of Afghani and Thai? So, I’m betting this one makes your cut…It’s my favorite strain by far, love it. Smells good too unlike most of the breeder stuff I happen onto. Grind it up and smell a skunk orgy..

Master Kush Is a cross between two landrace Kush strains from the Hindu Kush region.. I’m thinking this one makes your list too.

Cool that your avatar is Durban Poison, I’m thinking we have similar tastes in the old school strains …

Side note: As a paranoid weed smoker, I will say this. Sativa, Indica, uplifting or chill, it doesn’t matter. If over done I panic for a little while until the high settles in, I don’t believe in any difference between the two as many say,,,

It’s all about too much THC at a time for me,,,, luckily the fix is to smoke less. Bonus, my weed lasts a long time. Bonus two I never build a tolerance, at all. (Unless I puff all day long for weeks]

try smoking hashish

 

[FungusGnat]

try smoking hashish

Is that still a thing? Weird that in the US nobody smokes it.. I haven’t seen hash since the 80’s…

Not a single dispensery sells it here or I would give it a try. Maybe I should try moon rocks or shatter? (Joke, no thanks)

i’ve never been without hashish,. in canada though

well easy way to learn is start making it with ice water extraction, bubble washing.. than maybe move on to dry sifting..
but bubble washing is easy especially when you have excess to help with it here.. ask @Bigalmoby hes just learnt how and now bubble washing everything haha

I've read up on this a bit, but am thinking hash is for larger scale growers than me. I grow a single plant at a time, its all I need. (I smoke very little)..

I have used a razor blade to collect the substance sticking to my trimming scissors. I got a small grape size ball of something that got me pretty high, Is that hash?

 

[OldOneEye]

Done properly and safely bho can be made in small batches fairly efficiently.

I did a harvest of Great White Shark. The weed is definitely good and gets you high, but I feel like it kicks my ass high where I get super paranoid. I usually have that problem anyway from weed but not sure if it's because it just has a lot of THC and it's fresh or maybe the fact I harvested when milky could change the high. If I were to harvest my next plant where most the trichomes are amber would this reduce paranoia or is that just what THC does to some people

I am prone to anxiety and paranoia even eithout weed.

Thats why I always wait for amber as it softens sativa effects and deepens indica effects. For me anyways.

Do some research into terps and anxiety to help find the best strains for you. They definitely play a role.

Yes it's called scissor hash.

Sifting and alcohol extraction (qwiso) are 2 safe easy ways that I use to make hash.

 

[Markjobs2020]

My guess is some people have paranoia more than others. I also believe late-harvested bud is more mellow. It's my preference.

Depends on the weed for me haze i can smoke all day now stardog has me checking if the cookers on six times before bed

I hear you and am already there ! I grow Indica's (example Northern Lights)... this is known to be a very chill strain ! Same goes for Master Kush...

Yes, I've harvested both early, late and in the middle of the harvest window... Early harvest is the most relaxing for me, mainly due to a lower potency I think... Middle harvest of (cloudy a few amber) gets me blasted ! One little bong hit, I'm high as F. Two, and I'm regretting it ! Late harvest is the same way, I have to take it easy..

So for fun I picked up a pure Sativa known to be a paranoia inducing strain.... Same effect for me as Indica, I have to take it easy..

Bottom line anything with high THC will make me nervous if over done.. ! (I'm used to it now and know the worst of it only lasts 20 mins !)

The more amber the more THC has degraded to the less psychoactive and more sedative CBN.

Long cures will do that too so I aim for 10-15% amber plus a good long cure.

Good that you've found a good strain for yourself.

FWIW and YMMV
There are very few sativa dominant strains that bring pain relief and motivate me without paranoia.

They include Liberty Haze, Super Silver Haze, Amnesia Haze, Alaskan Thunder Fuck, Blue Dream and Tropicanna.

Most sativas won't be good for my anxiety but these ones are fine.

Almost all indica work well for me but I don't get much done if used in the daytime.

Best of luck!

Nice list and a you mention a lot of strains on my radar! I’ve been dying to try any of the hazes, especially SSH. Blue Dream is also something I’ve seen recommended as relaxing..

Next time I visit a dispensary, I’ll look for some of these,,, thanks for the tip!

Note: smoking strawberry cough now (sativa) but I think they harvested early, I can smoke the hell out of it without paranoia. My guess, the THC isn’t high in my batch.
