*shrug* i smoked pot for 10 years and whiteyed once that whole time.
I was probably tired and a bit drunk as well, but i wouldnt have gone all sicky feeling without having smoked, it was the weed that bought it on.
However, it only lasts for a short while. Its just like when your blood sugar drops or whatever really.
It really is a common term, and a common thing. Its just like sometimes people get a bit too pissed and throw up.
Never seen anyone do that and I've grown up around it. That's nuts.
I saw a bit about the nausea thing and I know people that can't smoke because it makes them very nauseous and gives them a horrible headache. Doesn't soothe everyone's stomachs. :P
None, mainly because I'm just not that interested. I know the effects it has had on some friends who have taken it, and I know the effect the smoke (even when it is being blown out of an open window) has on me. I know what the people who suffered a whitey were doing, and I know that they would not have experienced it if it wasn't for the weed.
Who is saying that? I'm certainly not.
Someone alleging to be writing a book on the subject and not knowing about or what a 'whitey' is? Seems a bit odd to me.
Look,
you can believe what you want and you are certainly entitled to your opinion.
I've already admitted to being wrong about marijuana having the ability to push someone over the edge. And I've admitted that this is the first I've heard the term.
If you have no interest, you can speak from experience all you want, but there is always more to know about the subject.

I've grown up around it, too- and I thought it was pretty nuts.
it's something I'll have to read more about I guess
& fair enough ha
I suppose some things just don't work for some people

I know people who won't touch a cigarette, or alcohol, but smoke plenty of weed, and they have whitey'd before. They feel sick, turn pale, clammy, sometimes they're physically sick, get a banging headache, then feel exhausted afterwords.
Some people do react badly to it, theres good and bad to every drug, weed unfortunately isn't perfect.
And The One Who's point (I believe anyway) is right. You cannot compare medical weed to the stuff sold on the street. Its grown differently, in varying strengths and one is tampered with and the other isn't.
I dunno. I guess I this is just one of those things I have to see to believe.

Of course there is always more to know. There will always be more to know.
I'm kind of on the line over it being legal, to be honest. I dislike the idea of it being a C-I but at the same time, given the area I live in and the cautiousness you have to have even in National Parks at times, it's a bit disconcerting to think of it being legal.
I'm not trying to say that it would mean those grow sites would be untouchable by law if it was legalized but there would be significantly less funding. The war on drugs isn't just taking drugs off the streets and out of the hands of people. These sites are dangerous. They are booby trapped, they leave garbage everywhere, there are significant numbers of weapons to keep people off the land...
A case here from less than a year ago was three teenage boys decided to be stupid and head into a grow on private property outside of town. One of them was shot dead, chopped up and hidden in a fridge and buried in an orchard. The amount of not even mature plants these kids would have been able to remove is not equal to a life lost, but it's a sad, recurring story. Those are the things that worry me about the legalization of bud.
At the same time, even shops weren't safe here. They were repeatedly robbed, sometimes at gunpoint. They become an easy target and eventually all were kicked out of the county due to the crime rate going up in the area of these shops.
I'm far from against people smoking it but now it seems my concern is how would people safely sell/purchase/grow it.

Nothing is equal to a life lost, this was a senseless tragedy. It's horrific and wrong, and I'm sorry that you & your community had to suffer through something so.. evil. The people that were so wicked to do something like that are not your average people, they are criminals and they are simply depraved.
And dispensaries can be targets, that is true! I live in Arizona where medicinal marijuana has been legal since 2010, & there is only one dispensary in all of southern Arizona... in Tucson... which makes no sense because the crime rate there is atrocious & rising almost every day...
yourockmysocks is absolutely right about logistics. There are so many variables in the equation that eventually equals decriminalization. There is indeed a possibility of increased violence in places where despensaries are located. But the violence that exists now, surrounding the black market, certainly has the potential to decrease.

Charlie - if your son regularly smoked weed when he is older (legal or not) would you be ok with it? Obviously kids are going to experiment, but if he was using it regularly would you see it as no more damaging than going for a drink with his mates?
I don't like the idea of it being legal. If it were up to me smoking would be banned too. The vast majority of people who use alcohol recreationally (sensibly) do not end up addicted or with long term mental health problems. Many people I know who smoke weed have become addicted. And have suffered from paranoia, not to mention how physically unfit they become similar to smoking normally.
I appreciate alcohol is dangerous. But mild-moderate drinking even over a lifetime is unlikely to cause any health problems. Smoking and weed are!
In essence i wouldnt have a problem with it if he maintained a job and normal social relationships. I wouldnt mind him getting stoned, i just wouldnt want him to become a stoner.
My worries would be the tobacco mixed with it, i would hate for him to start smoking cigarettes, and the legal ramifications if he were to get caught buying it.
I dunno man, ive seen a lot worse happen to people through drunken injuries/fights etc than through being stoned.

hahaha that seriously sounds like something Richard Nixon would say/has said:
Quote:
Speaking privately with Richard Nixon in 1971, the late Art Linkletter offered this view on the use of marijuana versus alcohol.
"When people smoke marijuana, they smoke it to get high. In every case, when most people drink, they drink to be sociable."
"That's right, that's right," Nixon agreed. "A person does not drink to get drunk. A person drinks to have fun."
I'm sorry but that totally reminded me of this^
here is the article I got that from: http://www.addictioninfo.org/articles/4354/1/Pot-Versus-Alcohol-Experts-Say-Booze-Is-the-Bigger-Danger/Page1.html
they talk about several studies which all concluded that marijuana is less addictive than alcohol.
People have been psychologically addicted to stranger things, though.
I love this article because the studies performed are not only American, but from Canada, Australia, France and others. Also they are all significantly spaced in time, between about 1989 up through 2007

I think that's the crux of this. Smoking weed and drinking alcohol can be inherently social activities (weed possibly more so than alcohol due to the sharing of it), but it is when things cross a line that most people start to get worried.
I smoked weed for years and years and the last time I smoked it I whiteyd, freaked me out so bad I havent touched it since and probably wont again.
There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.
I aint no abacus but you can count on me.
I wanted to know more about the whole whitey'd thing simply because it does not constitute the illegalization of illicit substances. You can get shtface obliterated drunk, but alcohol is legal, how is the whitey'd thing any different?
Who is saying that it can cause a bad reaction means that it should be made illegal? I can only speak for myself, but my response was more to refute the idea that it has no ill effects on people, when it patently does.

I never said anyone mentioned that
it's just another reason it remains illegal

Idk who mixes tobacco with it. That's almost a travisty(sp?).
Its not commercialised yet... so to say. Legally, still figuring out licensing etc. But shops have mass wanted ads publically for budtenders and looking for wholesale growers specifically to sell to them. Its open. Just the specific sale of a marijuana seed is illegal. On a small scale if you're 21 growing it and have a lock on the door you're fine, smoke up. if y'all wanted to make bank... move to a legalised area with small amount of investment money get in while you can lol.
Everyone I know who smokes it mixes tobacco with it because it makes it less potent and smoother to smoke. At least that's their reasoning.
Yep, extremely commonplace. I thought "spliff" itself referred to a joint of tobacco and weed (may be wrong). I personally avoid it because tobacco after weed makes me feel nauseated. So tobacco + weed has the same result.
Also, whitey-ing is real but can be very very rare. I've been smoking for years and have never seen it happen to anyone, but it happened to me once. I zoned out and passed out in a grocery store after smoking a few huge bowls with my buddy and taking/drinking nothing else. Woke up completely drenched in sweat and feeling like death with a nurse (who was shopping near us) holding me up and calming me down. REALLY unpleasant! Felt fine the next day though, except the sore ankle I twisted.
I also strongly disagree that pot is a gateway drug. If pot is a gateway to heroin, than breast milk is a gateway to hard liquor.
tu as tant de choses à dire,
mais le tout reste enfermer.
et quand tu ne sais plus quoi dire,
tu te mets à pleurer.
Mais ça ton publique le voit pas,
tu l'incites à rêver, pendant que toi tu le regarde...
Hm. I haven't seen anyone do that since like 2005. Akward...
Because clearly if they do one thing where you're from, it should be exactly the same everywhere else? Where I'm from, different TOWNS smoke differently and have different ways of doing things. Different ways of rolling, mix in different things... it's not the same everywhere. Tobacco is still a VERY popular addition to marijuana in many, many parts of the world.

Idk blows my mind how pot could be too strong to smoke. Interesting thing is being in a place where its legal, there's nothing but good stuff. Not to mention underage rates are going down.
Their called blunt wraps or rolling papers. Not sure why one would have a bucket? Gravity bong? Use a friggin bathtub lol
