Why don't people get high on their first try?

yes-you-can.
At least part of my sources, here: http://science.howstuffworks.com/marijuana.htm

 

the only reason SOME people don't get high their first time is because they don't smoke it properly. people who are shown how to smoke pot their first time will always get high.

 

What instructions do you give exactly? I have a hard time explaining how to inhale correctly. It just now comes sort of naturally to me.

 

My theory is that its not that people dont get high on their first try, rather its that it takes longer for it to take effect, so people just give up smoking thinking its not working. It happend to a friend that way, so i this is why i think it happens to some beginners.

 

I just tell people to inhale like theyre trying to hold their breath for along time. I dont know why some people dont understand breathing in deep, but they dont.

 

for noobs i usually just say, "ok...take the toke however u want, [let them take it even if it's just into their cheeks] then i say, ok, now inhale a breath deep into your lungs like if u were breathing in at the doctor or somthing"

 

I dont know who those people are, and personaly I think the whole thing is bullshit. Nobody I know including myself hav not been high the first time. My first time I was fucking laughing uncontrolably for hours! I wish I could do taht now!

 

the THC receptor thing is the truth,

you want to know the best way to get high your first time?

have your mom smoke while she's pregnant, get them receptors woken up good and early.

 

IMO its because your first time you are worried about how much you need/should take in so you might not be doing enough (combined with proper inhaling). My first time i was definitely blazed so i cannot really relate.

 

tell 'em to cover the carb (or cover it for them, even better) and exhale all their air before putting their mouth on the piece (important, so that they can take a full hit). then, light it for them or get them to light it so that the contents of the bowl glow fairly brightly--then ditch the lighter and just focus on inhaling. inhale slowly but steadily so that no smoke is rising from the bowl (all of it is going into their lungs). then, i ask them to stop when they feel that they have reached about 2/3 of their lung capacity. at this point, i tell them to release the carb and clear it, then set down the pipe and fill the remainder of their lung capacity (about 1/3 left, remember) with fresh air---this is crucial because this is where the pot smoke really gets to the depths of the lungs where it is absorbed most effectively. then they hold it in for a 3-second count and exhale. it's foolproof, if they can understand english. otherwise i'll explain it to them in spanish, but that's all i got. peace.

p.s. sometimes lighting the bowl for them can be key. some folk can't use lighters for shit.

 

Are you serious? If they're that incapable maybe they shouldn't be trying out drugs anyways lol...

 

The firs time I tried I was nervous as fuck. I was shakin and shit cuz I was so sure I was gonna get caught by his mom. Turns out she does too tho. I was pretty blazed my first time. It could have been a placebo effect like he said tho. The second time I smoked it worked tho.

 

My first time was great. It was earlier this year, up around the Byron Bay, Nimbin, Lismore area in Northern NSW, Austrailia... It's such a beautiful place. I bought some in Nimbin, went for a drive back to my camp ground in Byron, smoked a joint and had some music playing on my car stereo. Then all of a sudden it was pouring rain and my tent was flooded so I had to pack up everything and leave. It was so crazy.

 

I think the bestway to discribe inhaling is to take the smoke in your mouth and then take a deep breath( you know just like you were breathing) hold it in for as long as you can and just breath out. thats how it was told to me the first time i smoked and i figured it out pretty easy. I too was a non-smoker when i first tried pot so i didn't know how to inhale. now look at me.

 

The first... I don't know, maybe 8 times I smoked, I didn't get high. I later found out it was because I wasn't inhaling correctly. Then I got high. I think that's the problem for most people. You have to learn to BREATHE, not suck the smoke.

 

im pretty sure its not about inhaling. I took hits like a madman my first 3 times smoking and I didnt get the slightest buzz. I remember coughing like crazy and almost throwing up.
