Hey. I'm going to be smoking for the first time this weekend and I was wondering what people could tell me about doing it for the first time. I'm not too nervous but I just want to know before I smoke. Thanks

1. Many people don't get high the first time they try it. Don't be too disappointed if you don't.

2. It takes 10 - 15 minutes for a toke to reach its peak effect. If you smoke a lot within that window, you can easily get a lot higher than you want to be. Having a negative experience the first time you smoke can sour your attitude for later sessions. I recommend to newbees that they take a hit and wait 10 minutes before taking another. Repeat as desired. That way, you can avoid getting into any spaces where you feel out of control.

3. Many times, "friends" will try to push you into smoking more than you're ready for. Experience smokers have developed a tolerance to marijuana and don't get the intense effects beginners do. (and they're jealous!) Don't allow peer pressure to get you to do things against your own self-interest. Smoking marijuana is not a competitive sport. At least, it shouldn't be. Don't expect to be able to "keep up" with experienced smokers.

Thanks. Do you think I'll get high within the first couple of hits?

Ok, this guy knows what hes talking about. If your not a pussy then take like 3 decent hits or like 2 good rips to get you started. Assuming you have nothing to do that day then smoke more. I recommend just getting in a rotation and taking some small hits after that. Make sure to take at least one lung buster if you want to enjoy your first time the best.

Personally I got high from 2 messed up hits and one massive hit that like knocked me out for a couple secs from oxygen lost and I was blazed. I also know plenty of kids that smoked correctly and it took them 7 times to get high.

Dude, stay with pure weed. If its questionable, don't buy it. If you already have it, don't smoke it. You might be out 30$, but I'd rather a drained wallet than a dead head.

Um. No. Sorry foolcoolguy, no offense at all, but I just don't agree. Don't run head long into smoking your first time. Thought there is a chance you won't get high, don't take that as indication that you need to smoke more. There's no shame in saying "I'm not blazed". On the flip side, there's nothing wrong with getting caught up in the moment and just having a good time, even if you don't mean to "fake it". Smoking to much and having a bad experience won't do you much good either, so if your not blazed after a couple hits, chill out and wait till next time.

Take a hit or two. You'll cough, and cough. Then you'll cough. Then, I'd say there's a good chance that you'll cough. Then get comfortable and chill out. One thing that is certain about everyone's first time is it was NOT what they expected. Don't take this as a bad thing, it's just not the stereotypical "lay there and smile" (yet at the same time, it is). You don't see swirling colors, or anything like that, but your thoughts work differently. Pay attention to your train of thought, and notice the difference. If it is noticeable, your probably stoned! Its indescribable, but it sounds like you'll soon know what its all about, so have fun!

Rule #1, as always, relax.

Make sure you INHALE!!!!!!!!!!! none of that pull halfway down your throat bullshit. Pull some smoke into your mouth like you would a cigar. then inhale fresh air. the smoke should rush down with it. Hold it. exhale.

Alive-And-Dreaming
