grav rips aren't for little girls

[Mallory Sunshine]

Ive been smoking everyday for the past few years now but just friday night I had my first hit from a hommade gravity bong. I felt fine after the first hit but about a minute after I had my second one my heart started racing and then I passed out! A few minutes later I was being walked by my boyfriend to his house (he lives just next door to where we were) and before I could even get in the door i got sick on the frount steps, I had no idea it was coming, it just happened.

I'm assuming my getting that sick was just from the grav rips; I was wondering if anyone had any similar experiences to share, hopefully I'm not the only one who has been this embarassed! :p

peace,
Mal

I think gravity hits should be taught in grade school, so the kids can get ripped during recess. :bandit:

It's happened to me...I didn't pass out though. I did get the heart racing thing and I was hyperventilating and got very, very cold. And nauseus.

My boyfriend had to bring me a puke bucket. :o

i took a huge hit off a grav and thought i was going to die i was coughing for ages, they're quite effective.
Peace

hmm, it hasnt happened to me, but my boyfriend has been known to pass out on occasion after smokin, but it hasnt happened in a long time. thank goodness, the first time was at a dylan concert, oy, i thought he was a goner. but no his friend dragged him through the crowd and the security guards lost him. oy memories.

I've never passed out from it or gotten sick (that I remember, heh) but I do remember coughing my ass off, like for a long time. But once I caught my wind and got some water down, i was flying! :huepfen02

[Mallory Sunshine]

Wow, I've never really been a cougher, i guess i skipped the coughing and went strait to getting sick! You gotta learn, i guess!

[toman]

Coughing is good any time you smoke the herb, because it frees up the lungs and gets more smoke and oxygen in. At least that's what I've always heard, and it seems to be true. If you take a big 'ol hit and cough like a mofo after you hold it for a while, you're going to get a lot higher than just taking a could little puffs. It might just all be in my head though, I dunno... :bandit:

[moonjava]

toman,that makes sense! haha
experience. :bandit:

You psych teacher is a quack when it comes to marijauna and illicit pharmocology in general.

Holding the smoke in is far from pointless. Holding the smoke in accomplishes two things; one, it allows more time for the active cannabinoids to be pulled from the smoke by your lungs and into your blood stream, and two, it allows more tar and resin to accumulate in your lungs. Because of this, one must find a nice balance. I try to go between 5 and 10 seconds on most hits. Believe me, there is a major difference between holding one hit for one second and holding the same size hit for 10 (or even 5) seconds. One of my guitarist's brother will hold it until no smoke comes out.

Hey i'm a newbie and are these situations from just simply smoking weed or are you guys taking a hell of a lot in at once or what? I never heard of getting sick and passing out from smoking herb.

hey i'm not sure wot a gravity bong is i think we call it a buckit bong in england where u take a large plastic bottle cut the bottom off, then take bucket or something open that u can fill with water a bath is pretty funny sometimes. then push the empty bottle cut off bottom first into the water so it fills it up then put tin foil with lots of hole or a gauze on the top put ure weed or mix on top and light while slowly drawing the bottle upwards. once the bottle is full but not all the way out of the water take the tin foil off, place ure mouth on the bottle push down and breath in gently be careful tho can lead to water in ure mouth. i'm guessing this is wot the other guys r talkign about. Personally i do normal bongs and make a mix of tabaco and bud or solid or both. then place it in my bong which is basically a bowl vase type object with 2 holes on the upper edge of the bowl one allows adown pipe to go down in it which has a nut or bowl screwed to it, the other whole is aloow u to rush the smoke, u fill that with water so it bubbles nice put urte mix in the nut and suck. the joy of that type of bong is u can do as little or big a bong as ulike, and the pressure and speed depends on ure lung strength and how u want to smoke. i personally smoked bongs for the last 4 years. Teh yget u amazignly stoned but be warned there terribly addictive and not particularly good for the lungs, or the body in general. the best experiance i had on a bong was after a holiday where iwas of it for about a month i came back and did a 6 mm nut not realising my resistance was so low and i tripped actually tripped out for about 12 hours i haven't been so tripped out on mushrooms and i've taken about 40+ grams once. This is not a soft way to smoke weed, but its damn fun even if u do puke and cough ure lungs out now and then. peace hope everyone found all that interesting is my first post.
PEACE

holding it in is not good! vaporize my friends~ much better and coughing sux even more. you choke because of tar in your throught and lack of saliva. coughing will cause scars ... bad ...

my friend billy coughs untill he passes out and does not remember what happened. it is not his fault he smoked a lot of crack back in the day. I had to catch him from falling last week fishing. bastard is a heavy mo fo. :bandit:

[toman]

I say holding it in and coughing is good. Try it and make up yer own damn mind, I guess. I don't like high tech smoking methodes; just gimme a big bowl in a sweet glass pipe. :bandit:

[thgilkrad]

holding it in will get u more stoned but will give u cancer quicker!!

[LIBRA]

what??? quicker cancer, I dint think thats possible but I really dont know sounds wrong to me though but I am no cancer expert.

ya cough ya get off!!! ;)

[tooter_mcgee]

Smoking can't possibly be this trivial an activity... ;)

I'd say you're correct, toman. Coughing from the harshness of your crappy bud is bad. Coughing from the expansion of your great bud in your throat and lungs and shooting that shit around all over your lungs insuring you get the most cannabinoids into your system as quickly as you can - damn good. :bandit:

holding it in will get u more stoned but will give u cancer quicker!!
No, it will not give you cancer any quicker. Sorry :) See the thread Info needed: cancer rates; Cannabis vs. Tobacco (http://www.happyhippie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=994) for more information and references.

Oh yeah, you can get sick and pass out. It depends on how strong the stuff is and how much you smoke. Some can even give you a bowel movement. (sorry to say bowel movement, but it can happen).


Sometimes you'll see things or hear things. Like I said- it all depends on the strength and how much.

Shake won't do much. Gooey, dripping, resiny buds can knock you on your azz.

And yes, you have to hold the smoke in to get it in your system.

Just speaking from thirty something years of experience.

Saves weed, gets you stoned (very stoned), and they can be easily homemade. When i first started using gravity bongs it only took me one hit to get stoned, not 1 bowl, 1 hit!
Another really fun thing to do with your friends is to take a bucket big enough to fit ur head under, a torch lighter works best, a lake, and at least 8th of weed per person . flip the bucket so the bottom is facing up, cut a hole and make a bowl(that can fit at least and 8th) Do the same thing u would do witha gravity pulling the bucket up from under the water as a friend lights the bowl, when the bucket is filled up with smoke, 1 of u stick ur head under and breath in and out as longa s u can handle. its always good to play it smart and have someone who isnt smoking the supergravity to make sure no one drowns and so they can light the supergravity because by the last person everyone is usually passed out on the dock/shore lol
