Weed is NOT that powerful

I don't mean to violate any board rules, but this movie tends to misinterpret the state you get into through smoking weed. By all of the scenes, and Craig's tripping out most of the film.

I've smoked a LOT and the most that happens when you get really high is that you relax. Most people just sit down and are extremely quiet for an hour or so, or they talk a lot about stuff they see. Trees blowing, or rain, for example. But one thing that always bothered me about them getting high is that it turns Smokey and Craig into complete idiots -- who can't focus on anything.

I think that this is done for comedy, but all of their behavior is more akin to that of someone on acid. One of the prime examples is Big Worm's head in the cabinet after he first gets high. Then the statue of the dogs barking inside of his head. Again, its all more like they've done acid that regular weed.

If anyone knows what I'm talking about (experienced what I'm saying), you'd know what I mean.

i know some people who smoke it occasionally and they always say they get the munchies after they've smoked it..

one time my friend thought a chair was chasing her.. that was pretty damn funny..

Well, they're lying then, man. You don't get hallucinations from (regular) marijuanna. At best, you see bright colors thump like a pulsing disco-ball. But thats about it.

Weed chills you out. If you see a bunch of crazy stuff and freak out -- you're doing something else.

if you smoke weed that's extremely high in THC you will see and hear things. I stopped smoking weed because I could only feel my head one time and heard voices, saw the virgin mary, weird *beep* like that..Could have been laced with PCP, but i dunno, all my friends smoked it and just got really stoned..but i dont know..Canada has the sickest weed--hydro in the world, hands down...

[–] fgaze72 17 years ago

i found that the first 3 or 4 times i got stoned i did genuinely spaz out, like proper whacked, no idea about anything, but these days i can smoke a blunt to myself and still walk 4 miles to my mates house AND do my history coursework (last night tbh)

so it depends on your tolerance at least as much as the strength of your weed

"one time my friend thought a chair was chasing her.. that was pretty damn funny.. "

when i hear shiet like this i cant help but laugh. your friend is full of shiet, and those who repeat stuff like that usually have no clue...

one time i remember smoking way too much for my tolerance level, my eyes were "redder than the devils dick", i had to drive home from a friends house that only lived a few blocks down from me and i remember getting scared because i didnt know where i was. and when i was turning my head to see where i was going i was seeing my surroundings in frames, like if you fast forward a dvd and see the scenes change gradually. that really had me scared off my ass, i just wantd to get home, so i just kept driving straight (i was taking back streets) then when i pulled out onto my main street i was so relieved..

no, YOU are an idiot...
every *beep* stoner knows its all about the indoor.

indonesian... what a *beep* dumbass....

[–] kuhlio13 18 years ago

I just looked up indo and it doesn't mean indoor. It's often confused for that term because it is mostly grown indoors. However, indo is weed laced with embalming fluid and crack. Look it up yourself *beep*

[–] wel_da_war 9 years ago

Man, you on some other shiet. He says it in the movie.. literally.. "You said this is some indo.. but it smells like some outdo."

Indoor.. outdoor.. Indo is grown inside and usually hydroponically. Outdo is grown outdoors, usually in the woods. Big difference.

No questions. No answers.. You just accept it and move on.

YOUR *beep* RETARTED INDO IS INDICA A STRAIN OF WEED YOU ASS CLOWN YOU CANT LACE WEED WITH CRACK JACKASS MABE ANGEL DUCT OR OPIUM BUT THEY WERE JUST SMOKING GOOD WEED

the dude abides

[–] steviefric420 18 years ago

God damnit, nobody knows *beep* here...
INDO is not Indica you *beep* tool, and Indica isn't a strain of marijuana either, its a *beep* subspecies (Indica, Sativa and much less useful Ruderalis). an example of a strain would be white widow, or skunk, or any individual breed of pot.

and again INDO is INDOOR, as in not that cheap ass outdo...

EDIT: LOL, I'm watching the movie right now and to quote Craig:

"Man, I thought you said this was indo... smells like outdo-"

to which smokey replied somethin like:
*beep* I ain't gonna be smokin you up, if your gonna be dissin my weed"

The fact that they actually addressed this IN the movie just makes it funnier that most of you STILL have no *beep* clue what you're talking about....

Marijuana is not as powerful a hallucinogen as LSD, 'shrooms, etc. but it is still a hallucinogen.

Many different kinds of weed provide many different kinds of effects, some offer more relaxing, body highs like the one you describe, and others are very mental and send you into pretty strong hallucinations.

I've smoked excellent weed in Amsterdam that was very mental and caused very trippy hallucinations.

I am big. It's the pictures that got small....

Well, now we're talking Purple Haze stuff. That's closer to LSD than actual marijuana.

[–] ledZEPPELIN1977 19 years ago

craig and smokey were smokin that cali chronic ... that isnt just ordinary weed man.

Rock on

[–] steviefric420 18 years ago

Oh my god... you can't be serious...

Purple Haze IS marijuana (a specific strain to be exact), it is not 'closer' to LSD at all, thats the dumbest *beep* thing i've ever heard.

now, in your defense, the song Purple Haze by Jimmy Hendrix was about LSD, which is what the strain is named after, but aside from that, there is NO connection at all between purple haze buds and LSD...

[–] courts0 19 years ago

Yeah it is sweetleaf, it's legal in all of Holland.
And I actually thought that Ice Cube did a pretty good job of acting like he was high during that scene.

I just think that Craig was a little stressed that he got fired. Plus you have to remember that Smokey was all jacked up from the Angel Dust that he did with Hector.

Des What are you doing with that booze? Can't you see, I'm saving the world Brotha?!?!

[–] Hipmonkey33 19 years ago
