A Funny Snus Story

[snusjus]

A few nights ago I was at a bar with my friends and I met someone that was really cool and had the same interests I did. Anyway, as we're talking, I pop in a General Ekstra Sterk portion; this causes him to yell:

"Holy shit! I love snus. All the Swedish punks use that stuff! Can I have one?"

I replied "Yeah man. Let me warn you, this is the strong brand."

"Aw man, I don't care. Snus makes me trip since I don't smoke cigarettes."

I gave him a hesitant smile and handed him the portion. After one minute, he says "Man, I love this shit. Its just like being high."

I reply with a chuckle "Yeah man, wait until it REALLY kicks in. You're not even close yet."

After approximately ten minutes, he begins stumbling to the restroom like a middle-aged drunkard. No one notices since most of the people there were intoxicated as well.

He finally comes back and says "Thanks man! I just threw up, but I feel so damned good! When I was done puking, the floor appeared to be collapsing in on itself!"

He kept thanking me the rest of the night for his "Swedish trip". I was expecting to be yelled at for not giving him enough of a warning. Anyway, this is my best snus story yet.

LoL, awesome :^D

That's an odd reaction to nicotine. I wonder how much of it's psychological.

i dunno, i kinda buy it. as someone who never smoked cigs who took up snus, i can say i have been seriously ****ed up on snus. when i went to see that stupid cartoony star wars movie, my buddy and i each had a tourney, and by the time the star wars title came up, i was like wasted, i cant even describe it. i ended up spitting it out a little while after.

haha I can remember my first few cigarettes as a child and getting pretty damn high from them.

Well, nicotine in high enough doses can be hallucinogenic. The Native Americans used to consume it in large quantities during religious ceremonies for that purpose. Still, with the other side effects that go along with consuming that much nicotine (I've been there a couple times), I'd rather just do some real hallucinogens like tabs or shrooms. Much more pleasant, although more socially frowned upon. Besides, you do them a couple of times, and people either bored of it (Oh look the couch is breathing, seen that before), take too much of it (Oh my god, the couch is trying to kill me! And so's the carpet! And so are YOU!), or take more of it (Hey, the couch is the Buddha. Cool.) Either way, most people stop after a few times, be it nicotine or drugs.

The guy told me he took snus only one time before; it was in England with some touring Swedish punk bands. However, he told me the portion wasn't nearly as strong. I asked him which brand, but he couldn't remember. I assume it was a normal 8mg portion.

This story reminds me of something from a week ago. I explained what snus was to some of my acquaintances and they eagerly took a baked piece of GES Los from me. They told me their cigarette craving was completely diminished within five minutes! As well, they claimed snus was stronger than cigarettes. Perhaps we'll have some more snus converts on this forum soon!

By the way, the story is a true account of what happened; no exaggerations at all. Personally, I have never "tripped" from snus. Although, I did have a pretty heavy trip from my first cigarette ever way back in the day.

Snus is stronger IMO. I smoked for over 20 years 1-2 packs a day and still got a buzz from my first lame camel snus. I think that is why I like snus better than ciggs.

Nice story!

My first use of nicotine was snus.

I reacted the same way, i had to lay down for an hour after a skruf stark. i never puked from 8 mg but my first skruf made me feel like shit so i puked, might also have had something to do with me eating a huge meal right before..

Protip: if youve never used nicotine and try a stark snus...dont keep it in for more than 15 mins, you will feel like absolute shit.

It is alot stronger, which is why you dont snus 1-2 tins a day.

My 1st snus use, that was Camel Frosted, made me feel ill, naseaus, sweating. Actually, even when I 1st got some Swedish, it would make me feel ill too, but I think it was all a mix of me not doing it right, with portion placement, and also not used to nicotine. I quit snus soon after that, and took to nasal snuff, and used it like a coke fiend. But then recently, I just get so stopped up, that I decided to give snus another try, and cut down on the snuff for a while. I still was snusing wrong, but I did figure that out and corrected, but the second time around, I never felt ill like I did the 1st times.

I would say that is a normal reaction for someone who has no tolerance for nicotine.

Most follk who smoke a cigarette for the first time get high and then feel sick.

I was chain snusing at a party one night, and was a little tipsy as well. Friend of mine gave me some thunder (which i thought tasted like hell in a pouch, sorry). I was sitting down, and it was a good thing too. The nicotine buildup plus that portion made my limbs turn into jello. I stumbled out of the apartment after half an hour, stumbled back to my apartment, fell on the bed, and lay there for about ten minutes. Rolled over and puked, then I felt all better.
Didn't hallucinate, but it got me more trashed than my drinks did. Probably wouldn't happen now, but I don't test the gods of snus that way anymore. I either chain it up with regs or sterks, or hit up ES only and with breaks in between while I'm at parties.

I have never felt high from snus. But early on in my snuff exploration, I just kept hitting it back to back one afternoon and OMG, it was almost recreational. I have never felt that from nicotine before. Was fun, but not anything I have done again.

[MrSnusNSnuff]

Strange, I don't get such effects. I just get sweaty, jittery, and hiccupy. The first cigarette I smoked made me stumble and nearly pass out.

Easier just to take a hallcinogen - and if you're strapped for cash and connects, try a bottle of Robitussin (glad I don't use drugs anymore ). :P
