I've always loved listening to music when high. I've played guitar most of my life and the heightened senses (hearing) is just incredible when listening to music. I've also had severe mood disorder, dissociation since a teenager. I think pot was stronger in the 70s because it was grown outside (mexican gold): much better aroma, taste and high.

I smoke it when I'm with friends or alone. Its truly used as a medicine for me.
They say that 30 MG of THC can get someone very high (like beginners) while people (like me) who've built a tolerance toward marijuana need around 80+ MG of THC. I use MM to get high. Sometimes a buzz. But just to get high because thats where the benefits are. It helps with my joints (yes, i have painful joints due to my CF), its helped me through Prozac withdrawal (yes, i myself decided to withdraw from it for about 2 months. miserable. but i couldn't have done it without MM), and most importantly it helps me eat (which is why i got it; main reason). i take provigil which is notorious for decrease appetite, so i take it during the day, and by night the marijuana allows me to make up for the day (calorie wise). 80 MG THC does get me high. Maybe a 8/10. 160 MG of THC gets me very high, about a 12/10 . it does help me with anxiety. before id take about 1 mg of xanax 3-5x weekly, now. I haven't used it for about 1 month.
Edibles digested by the liver change THC to 11THC (not delta 9, but 11 hydroxyTHC) . but eating normal, "unactivated" marijuana will barely, if any cause a high because it isn't THC. Its THCA. for me if i eat on an empty stomach i can feel it in an hour, and it peaks within 2 hours or so. if I'm full from eating, it takes about 2-4 hours and peaks at around 4-6 hours after i eat it. smoking/vaporizing high (the cannabinoids are treated the same way as it involves the lungs, unlike edibles) lasts about 1-2 hours. an edible high lasts about 4-6 hours.
