Ok, I need to leave my house for what I've read should be about 3 hours. Does anyone have suggestions of where to go? And would it be possible to do normal things, like go to dinner, see a movie, ect? And if I'm too high to do that, will I know that, or will it be like when you're drunk when you feel like you could do anything)?
For your first time I'd recommend a friends house or somewhere equally relaxing/safe. For the most part it's safe to do normal things when high, but occassionally you can "geek out" (laugh uncontrollably), get extremely paranoid or sick. Experiencing one of those things in a public place for your first time isn't something I'd recommend. Also, I wouldn't drive.
I'd go out on your back patio at night and sit on a chair and smoke up if I were you, but if you don't have a backyard or get nervous at night alone I'd try to wait until you or a friend had an empty house and do it there and then chill and relax. It's so much better when you don't need to hide that you're high
Camping would be ideal. Maybe you could go w/ friends for a night. Or you could set up the tent in teh back yard. Movie would work...especially if it's not too crowded in the theatre. At a friends house who is positive his parents aren't coming home.
I'd say wait until 12 or 1 and just go outside to smoke then to your room. I get the coolest highs when I'm by myself, other people seem to distract me from my thoughts. I just wait untill my parents fall asleep. Go outside and smoke a joint to myself. Come back inside, turn all the lights out in my room so it is pitch black. Then listen to In A Gadda Da Vida. I can get so lost in that song.
If I smoke at home when my parents are here, and if I have a bad trip or whatever, will I still be in control? As in, will I be stumbling around knocking stuff over or something? And I'm not sure, but wouldn't smoking with my parents being about 40 feet from increase the chances of paranoia?
Just sneak out about an hour after parents are asleep, blaze, and then you can decide to stay outside or go back in when you feel comfortable. Have fun! These times are always the best highs, it's like an adventure.
If you don't want to get caught by your parents, don't smoke near them - at least until you know exactly what you're like when you're high. Assuming you can get in and out of your house without being detected, smoke very late at night and then head up to your room. Otherwise, I'd say take a detour to a park and smoke along the way and completely out of sight (but not at the park). If there's a swing set when you get there, all the better... I'd probably do this a couple of times until you know what to expect from weed, since the first time almost certainly will not be like the second. Plus you can get an idea of what your eyes will look like: some people - me, for instance - go red and stay red from the beginning to hours after the fact. At any rate, do not get lazy, and do not disrespect your parents for taking care of you and what not. If you can't smoke pot and keep it together to the degree that people don't even notice that you do so, then you might want to reconsider, at least until you get your own place (and probably a job in an umbrella factory or something...). Just don't do anything stupid like buy a two-foot bong or smoke out on the porch 'cause Mom'n Dad are sleepin'.
What about a beach? I just found out I'm going to the beach this weekend (lake tahoe). I don't know how crowded it will be, but if I manage to find a secluded spot, is that a good spot?
Yes, but you'd be better off with an experienced friend. And hoe do you plan on getting your weed to Lake Tahoe? As long as your driving... Make sure that you have a good 3 hour 'no parents' window of opportunity.
Smoke on the way to school or on the way to the activities that were listed above, movies, dinner, etc. Just take it slow and have fun on your journey.
Since its your first time why dont you try finding some woods with some friends and just chill or maybe a friends house. Just find somewhere you can be relaxed and not have to worry about anything because paranoia ruins your high. You can probly do things but i would wait until you've smoked more than once because you'll most likely get paranoia and think everybody knows and think everybody is talking about you. Just find a place where you can chill for a long time, smoke a fat blunt, and just hang out with some friends and have a good time.
