I usually smoke on the weekend nights and I usually get really tired because of it. I know this is supposed to happen, but is there any way to make me less tired? Does it have to do with the quality of bud you are smoking? And when i go to bed a little stoned I wake up the next day tired as hell even though i get plenty of sleep. Any thoughts?

I have found that I don't get as tired when I smoke good weed. Try drinking some coffee when you smoke. The only other thing I can think of would keep you up for 8-12 hours and I can't discuss here.

The main reason you get tired from MJ is the carbon monoxide created when you smoke. Carbon monoxide attaches itself to your blood preventing oxygen from doing so. This puts you into a mild state of "hypoxia" (lack of oxygen), which makes you sleepy.

If you are serious about reducing the draining effect of MJ smoking you should look into Vapourizers. A good Vap produces little carbon monoxide, and a lot of users report that hey don't get nearly as burnt out.

Another reason why I am going for a vap!

But I find that I get EXTREMELY tired to, and if it is good quality bud and the time is right (basically if I'm not in school/working) I can fall asleep right away. A few times I smoked only a dime with a friend (good quality stuff though), and I actually passed out 20 minutes later.

That's one of the reasons why I don't smoke until the evening, because if I smoke in the afternoon or the morning it just makes me very tired all day. Helped me with my insomnia though

B7: I think you might be surprised at how a good Vap changes the experience. I find a good few Vap hits in the afternoon can recharge my batteries as opposed to a joint which will usually call the sandman.

Sounds excellent, I have heard only good things about vaps, I wonder why they aren't so popular?

Well, going to smoke my final joint (getting healthy, sticking to a vap for now on) tomorrow morning and set out to downtown and get my vap

Just want to get this straight:
Vaporizers-
- No smoke, just a vapor of THC
- Do not smell, easy on the lungs
- healthy alternative to bongs/joints

It's a wonder why everyone doesn't use them

Yeah, getting tired is a bit of a bummer. That's why I like to smoke in the morning when my batteries are fully charged and I don't get tired.

Oh, and in reply to soybomb's other question about being tired the following day, I think that has something to do with the type of sleep you get. Normally you move back and forth between 'light' sleep and 'heavy' sleep, the heavy sleep tends to give you dreams, while the other revitalizes (sp?) your body/mind. After you smoke MJ, i think you tend to stick pretty much to heavy sleep. This would explain that feeling when you wake up that feels like you blinked, and it's morning, like no time has passed. I like that, it's cool.

The thing I can't explain though, is that some people feel very rejuvinated after a MJ sleep and others don't. Fortunately, I'm one of the lucky ones. I hope it helped you anyways.

B7:

Some things you should know before you buy. First, Vaps are not as amazing as some would have you believe. Good ones are great at producing much less noxious stuff for you to inhale, but you will still get some nasties in with the THC. They shouldn't be considered a "healthy alternative to smoking" rather a less unhealthy option.

As to why they aren't all that popular. Well the market is strictly underground and the "industry" is made up of small business concerns, only a few of which are truly serious about their ventures.

Also, the majority of the Vaps that have been produced over the last ten years have been disappointing to consumers. The ones that do work well, and that are supported by a competent business structure, are few and far between... but they do exist. Do your research.

If i smoke and dont do anything, besides sit around the house, do something boring or something i'm not enjoying i get tired rather quickly. But if i'm playing soccer or any other activity that i have fun i dont get tired at all, but when i go to sleep i'll sleep in 10 seconds. But if i plan to do something after smoking like 5-6 hours after smoking and i'm REALLY tired i take a half hour nap and a shower that seem to help a lot

I have the same situation about getting tired after weed. Coffee doesn't work for me, and its not really good for my health. I think I'll try some green tea before I toke. My question is this:
What would be more efficient, taking the caffeine before smoking or after? I don't know if anyone knows the answer but I guess I'll experiment.

Peace out
