Smoking a Joint, Noob Questions

Tomorrow I will be smoking for the first time ( First experience with marijuana ). I will be smoking with 2 experienced smokers, and I don't want to embarress myself too much. I have some general questions:

1. How long should a hit take?
2. Any tips for not coughing?
2. Do you exhale through your nose or mouth?
3. How long does a high generally last? I'm doing this between classes ( I have about a 3 and a half hour break ).
4. We will be smoking outside, will I have to worry about the smell on my clothes? Will Axe work ok at masking the smell?

Any another tips/advice/guides? I have been wanting to try this for a while, I'm very excited.

 

First of all, there is no shame in being a beginnner, everybody is at some point.

1. Just take what you can handle, there is no time frame.

2. Same as above, and don't enhale too fast, just take it slow and easy.

3. I would exhale through your mouth, that's what most people do, and I think exhaling through your mouth is probably healthier than exhaling through your nose, but I can't be sure about that.

4. I would say no, but you can use a LITTLE axe if you want to be sure, but don't over do it. And if you are worried about being noticed, you should get a bottle of visine or clear eyes.

As for other tips: Just be yourself and don't pretend to be a experienced smoker if your not. Also, you will get more respect by taking smaller hits than by trying to take hits that you can't handle and coughing and choking on every one, so just take it easy. I also just noticed you'll be smoking a joint, which is usually a little more harsh than other methods of smoking, so extra emphasis on taking it easy.

A VERY important thing about smoking a joint is to NOT get the mouth piece of the joint all wet with your saliva, so before taking a hit make sure your lips are dry. Other than that, just try to be chill and if you start to freak out or anything, just remember that you CANNOT overdose on marijuana.

Good luck and have fun man.

 

Oh, and I didn't see the time question, 3 1/2 hours should be enough, the high might not be completely gone, but you will be fine.

 

if its gonna be a joint, dont be afraid to use a crutch. I burned my lips on a joint once and i always use a crutch now. just roll up a matchbook/ index card and stick the joint in the end. much easier. and dont be surprised if you dont get high the first time. just relax

 

Tell them its your first time is my advice.

It can be a little overwhelming.

My first time was with my first boss and a few coworkers on lunch. We smokeda joint and went back to the paintball field to ref. I didn't do shit, I just zoned out and laughed at people getting shot. It was fun but a little embarrassing the next days as I remembered talking to the older bosses who seamed confused.

Good times.
