What do people expect from weed?

After reading the occasional story from first-timers on here, I'm wondering what people expect being high to be like before they ever try weed. I didn't really have any expectations, I figured that if it was so weird it wouldn't be easily related to anything I knew, but when I was with a friend for his first time he was talking about how it was nothing like what he thought it would be.

What did you expect?

 

I got drunk before I smoked, so I expected something like that.

 

I thought I would be kind of light headed and think everything was funny.

 

before i got high the first time my friends did the pass out game shit on me and told me thats what being high was like. Other than that i had no idea what it was gonna be like.

 

I expected it to be a bigger deal than it was. The government hypes it up to be this terrible thing, so i figured it would fuck me up more than it did. Then I just realized that being stoned is a good way to be and it's nothing that I had been led to believe.

 

My friends all got high before I did, and they all told me that they laughed for a long time, and got paranoid and thought something was chasing them so they went running through a field, so I had mixed emotions about it. I thought it might be fun because they laughed, but then I thought that it would be scary because they got paranoid and ran around, but after I tried it I was like wow, its not bad at all.. and I loved it ever since!

 

i had no idea, that's why I did it.

 

I thought it would be like in That 70s Show where there are trippy colours everywhere and stuff. It was still pretty great when I first tried it, though.

 

hey it is kinda like on that 70s show where the wallpaper shifts around behind them and stuff. haha.

 

I expected to laugh.
I laughed.

 

I was expecting something more like what acid is supposed to be where you're just in like wonderland and the fuckin yellow submarine goes flyin by and everything is a cartoon.

I especially expected everyone to look like a cartoon.

That's what I was told it was like from THE GOVERNMENT.

 

^^ Yeah, my friend thought that too when I was smoking him up for the first time. He said he couldn't differentiate between acid and weed because according to the government it was just one single evil entity called "drugs".

 

ROFL at that.

 

I expect weed to be fuckin dank and cheep.

 

^hahaha i hear ya

 

Been a while since I've seen you around here...

 

Damn. Same. I haven't seen that dude in forever.

 

do you happen to live in wrightsville beach, north carolina?

 

I thought I would see colours, hahahahaha. Everything was distorted though. looked like there was smoke everywhere. And I was convinced that I was a robot. oh god those were the days.

 

there´s a book by Dr. Andrew Weil called The Natural Mind where he talks about set and setting (for all drugs). whatever you expect to happen, will happen. this is more apparent when taking things like mushrooms and acid, but applies to weed, as well. it´s better to be totally open to something rather than have your pre-conceived notions about it because they will affect your perception of it.

i dont think i expected anything. the only way i can describe my first high (and my first psychedelic experience) is that i finally was able to SEE. those of you who have know EXACTLY what i´m talking about.
