...in which certain people don't get high the first time and it does NOT stem from inhaling incorrectly.

Before I smoked MJ I had smoked cigarettes and cigars socially with friends. Cigars I did not inhale, and cigarettes I did not inhale at first but later on I did in preparation for the first time when I would try MJ.

And months later I decided I would. Now I am 100% sure I inhaled correctly because I would prove it to my friends by exhaling out of my nose. You can't exhale from your nose without putting the smoke in your lungs first. But after finishing two bowls I did not get high. I did not feel lightheaded, numbed, my eyes were normal and focused and I wasn't laughing hysterically like my friends were.

After a couple of more occasions of smoking I got REALLY high.

I think part of the reason I didn't get high the first time was because I didn't expect to. Or more appropriately I didn't know what to expect. And for a while, I really thought I had some sort of immunity to marijuana, and even some of my friends thought so too!

Oh well that was quickly remedied.

Mind over matter.

When you got high was it the same weed that you had smoked the first time?

When you inhale you should be coughing (even when you experienced) because you lungs still won't like other stuff than Oxygen and CO2 in there.

It may have been the weed not being potent but I notice many 1st time smokers never really get high, maybe it's some body function or something...

I will probably never know for sure if what got me high after that was higher quality or lower quality bud, but I do know that my friends who had smoked for a long time got high when they smoked me out for my first time. And I did cough! Hard too, because I inhaled too much. I must have hit the bowl like 10 times.. I kept asking my friend to fill it up again because I didn't feel high yet and everyone else got baked off a couple of hits. At first they told me to wait and that I was probably high but later on they decided that I really hadn't gotten high.

I didn't know I was high the first time I really smoked bud, I had to have my sister tell me.

It could be that the brain doesn't know what to think about the THC the first time you get high, so you really don't realize that you are high.

Creeper works kind of the same way, you smoke three bowls and say "Man, this is some ****ty weed!" Then you wait about 30 mins or more, and you are stoned out of your mind.

Also, if you sit still and don't really move much, and suddenly get up to go do something, things change quickly, and then you realize that you are stoned, because that's what weed does, it impairs the ability to properly interpret things in the world around you.

It's been medically proven that the first time you don't get high.

i got high my first time so i didnt have to worry about what you guys are talking about.
But you know how drugs like LSD [only as a compairison] build up a tolerance? well THC does kindof the same thing. but in reverse.
so the more times you smoke the easier it is to get high.

"It's been medically proven that the first time you don't get high."

umm, point me to the medical literature which proves this point and i'll have to convince myself that the reason i was laughing so hard i couldnt breath the first time i got stoned was not from smoking marijuana.

i was also wondering if there is a reverse tolerance effect from smoking weed, i had never really believe it, but i want some clarification before i believe it as being true.

I wanna see that med paper that saz that, my friend got so baked on the 1st time he smoked, and we smoked out of a joint but he is cig smoker too, i didnt get high till the 5-6th time i smoke and i did inhale right i no this much. But i guess you dont get high because newbies keep thinking about it, like "uh dudes i dont feel anything" and "what am i supposed to feel" , that why i think newbies dont get high

There's probably a lot of factors involved in whether you get high, a lot of it probably having to do with what you're expecting. If you're trying to find the high, chances are, you'll miss it, because you don't know what to expect. Sometimes, it is because you're not inhaling properly. Sometimes, you just have to smoke a lot of weed. My friend smoked a fat blunt with just him and one other person the first time he smoked. He got REAL high. I smoked 2 bowls. I didn't. I don't think it's the kind of thing where there's one answer.

Yeah, I don't think newbies now what to expect and while you having fun there like "I don't fell anything, this sucks". I think Jax is right, the more you smoke it the more your brain realizes what it is that it's looking for (THC of course). I have had friends get baked the first time they smoke and other friends feel nothing for like their first 8 tries.

Smoke2Joints, I wanna see this "Medically document" that says you won't get high the first time you toke. I think this is complete bullsh!t but maybe it is true. We need some evidence.
