Hey everyone, I'm new to forum but I've probably lurked here for advice off and on for years now.
I've done 4 indoor grows with what I call 'ghetto' DWC with CFL's. I have gotten surprisingly decent yields off each grow but am ready to step up my game and do better than I have in the past.
I've got a question while I'm saying hello though, and please refrain from the high horse judgement, or the typical 'It's the strain!' or 'That's not weed your smoking' BS please.
I started smoking herb, crappy street reg, age 16 and it was horrible. I had unexplained reactions to smoking EVERY single time, and it wasn't that I was smoking too much either, just a few puffs and I'd be freaking out and yeah I wont go into details but I always attributed it to something wrong with me specifically. I kept forcing myself to smoke to try and 'overcome' this weird stuff, trying different amounts, different strains, using grounding technique and sniffing/drinking black pepper to calm down.
ANYWAYS haha..after about 3 years I started actually enjoying smoking everytime I smoked and would only 'trip out' sometimes, which I could easily get under control unlike the past. I started becoming a major green head, probably smoking too much since I spent all my $$ on it all the time until I got so burned out I had to quit about 3 years ago [had been smoking heavily for about 5 years at this point].
I took maybe a 3 month break from smoking and started trying to again, and I can't handle any of it now just like I used to.
I've tried different strains, I've tried street crap that never used to get me high at all, I've tried smoking 3/4 straight cbd hemp flower to 1/4 thc medical grade indica, NOTHING HELPS. Everytime I smoke I get what I call the sensies, my body gets overly sensitive, and it causes me to have tremors [I have neurological illness so I think it triggers it], it makes me get freezing cold, and my nerve pain intensifies like I'm being electrocuted all over my body. It really sucks because everyone says it will help with pain and other issues and I've got a string of illnesses that I can't use modern medicine to combat.
Could I have developed a weird allergy to marijuana? I do have MCAS so I am wondering if somehow that has ruined smoking for me? I've tried vaping [dry leaf] and I tried edibles and I probably never will again because the reaction was way worse than smoking [only took 1tsp of coconut oil I made from my last grow of just trichome covered leaves!!! no bud].
Weird thing is, I smoke hemp flower with no thc perfectly fine, no reaction, so I'm wondering if it's just the THC I'm having an issue with. Also my husband is starting to have the same reaction after taking a 6 month break for work, he's now having similar issues and he has no known illnesses like I do..so...yeah...if anyone has any idea what the heck is going on I'd like to know. As for why I want to grow with my issues still prevailing, well I kind of hope maybe I can just keep suffering through it until I am able to smoke again, plus I like growing them lol.
Thanks everyone!!!!
