  • laughter

  • relaxation, stress reduction

  • increased awareness of senses. (eating, drinking, smell)

  • change in experience of muscle fatigue. Pleasant body feel. Increase in body/mind connection.

  • pain relief (headaches, cramps)

  • reduced nausea, increased appetite (used medically for this)

  • increased appetite, snacky-ness

  • slowness (slow driving, talking)

  • change in vision such as sharpened colors or lights

  • nausea, especially in combination with alcohol, some pharmaceuticals, or other psychoactives

  • coughing, Asthma, upper respiratory problems

  • difficulty with short term memory during effects and during periods of frequent use (Ranganathan M, D'Souza DC, Psychopharmacology, 2006)

  • racing heart, agitation, feeling tense

  • mild to severe anxiety

These may last for 1-6 weeks after cessation of use and can include anxiety, anhedonia (reduced experience of pleasure), headaches, general unease/discomfort, difficulty sleeping, and a desire to smoke pot. Severity of symptoms is related to frequency of use and individual sensitivity.

Blue smoke is oil burning and is generally indicative of one or more of the following: a)bad rings, b)bad valve seals or c)bad head gasket. White smoke is water/coolant burning and is generally indicative of a bad head gasket or bad intake gasket. As such there is probably something seriously worn out and/or bad in the internals of your engine.
