Why don't people get high the first time they smoke?

hehe my first few times were smoking mexican brickweed, i wish i would have started out smoking dank.

 

in the book "The Natural Mind" by Andrew Weil, he talks about how all drugs act as triggers to highs that already naturally occur in our bodies. it´s not the drug itself that gets you high, it´s your body that produces it. therefore, based on that logic, that means there are other natural ways to get high (eating mangoes, watching a solar eclipse, laughing, etc) AND that we can get just as high as we do with weed once we recognize how to do it.

i dont think of this as an absolute and complete answer to how drugs work, but i think it´s an important point of view to consider.

someone smoking for the first time might just not recognize the difference or change in consciousness. after a couple of times, you start to catch on. then, once you kind of know what to expect, those effects will happen after you smoke. you basically reinforce your perceptions about it which realize themselves in the high.
this leads to how "set and setting" works with their impact on altered states. your mindset is a factor because of your expectations, percetptions, fears, etc.


but i also think that people not smoking right the first time is a reason why some dont get high. i remember a couple of times where i didnt really smoke it right and didnt get high.

not the case anymore....

 

That makes a lot of sense.

 

this is ridiculous lol trust a stoner to believe there are receptors in their brain that are there purely to accept cannabis

if this made sense, then everyoe who never smokes weed has wasted resources in their brain that they could be utilising.

no, cannabis effects receptors that are there for an existing and important reason, though one that is not properly understood.

 

It took me three time to get chopped too, but the third time powerful, I freaked out and ended up sleeping it off.
But yeah I think the the first few times you smoke, you and your body doesnt really know how to embrace the high, and as we all know the state of mind your in while smoking does affect how you feel once you are high. So basically after a few times of smoking your body knows what to expect and how to utilize its new state of being.

 

then whats the explaination for people that get high the first time?

 

its asubject that needs study but its a bit awkward because you can only study it on people who whove never smoked, and how many of those people are going to willing to smoke for research if theyre not willing to smoke with friends in teh first place?

what really needs to be developed is an IV thc treatment mwahaha but seriously, this would clarify once and for all whether its smoking technique or not. finding subjects would be incredibly hard.

 

well i probably would have done the study if i had never smoked before. The first time i got high i wasnt looking to do it and really didnt have any interest in doing it until someone asked me if i wanted too. So if money is offered im sure there would be some non smokers wanting to do it and even more pot heads trying to get signed up to get high for free.

A study would be pretty hard to do because it most likely wouldnt be all first timers because im sure there would be some pot heads that lied and got into the study.

 

well then youd say that youre gonna compare virgin tokers to stoners and see

 

I think their first time ppl just dont inhale right, dont hold it in, etc. I dont think its as complex as its made out to be.

 

Well, the first time i did it, i said i had done it before.. and took some baby hits
everyone called me out on it but i said i had to go to church 0_o...
well, anyways
