First time ever smoking a Sativa strain and I have to say the difference from anything else I’ve ever smoked was immediate. I stopped smoking weed maybe 12 years ago because I hated the heavy slow stoned feeling. SSH was anything but that - everything I always hoped marijuana could be: invigorating, illuminating, inspiring. Took one hit this morning and I felt alert and social, happy and engaged. Spent some time writing and editing and cooking and then hit the gym. Super great focused energy. Open, relaxed heady feeling. Body felt light and peppy. This was a totally different weed experience for me and I think one I will def return to.

My first experience smoking in probably 12 years. Went to the Dispensary here in San Diego and bought 1 g of Sativa, one of Indica and one hybrid. Decided to start with the Gelato. Having to little or no Comprehension of the potency of modern marijuana, I smoked a whole bowl to myself. Good Lord. I could have taken one hit and been fine. The resulting experience wasn’t “bad” just incredibly intense. Brought up super intense emotional baggage, fears, doubts, which I could look at and process and let go. Very stoned, I texted myself, “ there is so much bullshit I carry around in my head that I can pack up like boxes and move out.” I was waaay too stoned to be around other people and was totally overwhelmed for the first hour or so. Then I realize that I could just as easily shift my thoughts into beautiful affirmations and change my mood entirely. Which I did. Then I started listening to Led Zeppelin, which brought me to tears as I marveled at the beauty of human beings creating music to communicate with one another. I could see not only the actual music appearing as color and emotion, But also I was aware of the lives of the human beings who made the music and all of their experience that was bringing us together. Later i started to journal and had some amazing insights into relationships in my life. I also texted myself, “ interactions with things illuminates me” which I found beautiful. Overall my body felt very relaxed, heavy, soft, strange and foreign. For a long time I hardly moved. Incredibly potent. But, of course, I am brand new to the effects of THC. Next time I will def start with a lower dose but this was an incredible, moving experience.
