my first time...sort of.

Me and two friends smoked last night. It was my first time but they both gotten high before. We smoked alot (not sure how much) pretty quickly and they both got very high. Wierd thing was, I didn't get anything but a little light headed. and I think that might have been from holding my breath when I took the hit. They assured me it was good stuff and I'm sure i was inhaling right. They also told me that it was somewhat normal to not feel it the first time but this sounds wierd to me so I thought i'd seek some advice here and I haven't found anything to support what they said. So is that just a standard first timer reaction or do I have a really high tolerance or something?

 

many first timers complain that they did not get high their first time, it took me like 3 or 4 times to actually get a noticeable high.

 

It took me FIVE TIMES to get off. The first four were with friends, and I didn't get off the least little bit. The fifth time, I had bought a nickel bag - 5 bucks for a quarter, for you younger guys - took it home and got stoned in my room the first time. Scared the shit oughtta me.

Next morning I got up and said "that was COOL, let's do THAT again, LOL...

 

if you didn't get high, you didn't inhale properly most likely. I only say this, because every single first timer I have ever smoked with, when we made sure that they inhaled properly, got REALLY high. and I know that I didn't inhale properly the first time I smoked while being 'sure' that I inhaled properly. The best way to make sure is to take a smaller hit, stop before you completely fill your lungs, take a deep breath sans smoke, then exhale.

 

No, it is normal. It took me over 20 times (and i used to smoke cigarettes, so dont tell me i wasnt inhaling right lol) seriously. I smoked with my friend every day on numerous occasions for about a week straight....never once getting high, while him and our other buddy were infact....high. So i quit trying after that, thinking i was immune or something. Then about 5 months later, my older bro convinced me to try again and i got faded as all hell then. But most people it only takes 1-4 times, then they start getting high. Ive never met anyone who got high their first time....if they say they are, they are probably lying. Although they will display the physical effects of being high, (eyes look funny, maybe you think they are smiling a lot or something.) they dont FEEL high...its weird, but true.

 

Thats what I was doing.

 

it just doesnt happen for everyone, even if you inhale right. if your friends were making sure you were inhaling right and you didn't get high, you just have to keep trying. it'll happen.

 

I didn't feel high my first time, and I got twos off of a blunt. At least I didn't feel high
My second time I realised I was high about half an hour after it actually hit me

 

I fail to see, after one has been properly instructed on inhaling, how anyone could screw it up, LOL.

Take a slow, deliberate hit, not too much to make you cough, and hold it for 10 seconds. Then exhale slowly...

Who could screw that up? :huh:

 

i didnt get high my first time.i also smoke cigs so i know how to inhale.might have been cuz i was drinking like a fish for 5 hours.but the next morning my friend came over and smoked me up again.then i got HIGH!!!!it was kinda strange but cool.when i came down i was like WHOA!!!!that was sweeeeeeet!!!!lets do it again!!!

 

i thought it was possible to get the THC in your lungs and still not get high your first time

 

I inhaled properly my first time and didnt get high just a little light headed. Then the second time i smoked, hoooooooly shit i was soooooooooo fucking high it was awesome. So my advice to u is give it another go!

 

i got blazed as hell the first time I smoked and was fucked up for like 36 hours. of course I also trip when I smoke so I'm probably not the best candidate for normal.

 

i guess im one of the few who got high my first time
it was probably cuz the guy who smoked me out was a realy good buddy
and i told him i wasnt feeling it so we smoked more
it actually got to the point where he was like
nah man im set you can keep hiting it
so my first time i smoked about 1.5 g before i got high
and that was the most fucked i had been for like 3 months before i got my first half

 

I was baked my first time smoking. It was only a blunt too on 4 people but I got so high that day. My friend kept asking me if I was alright and I'd say in a mellow, drawn out voice "yeaah" haha. We didn't do anything special...I went home right after smoking and I dunno. I was high. And I've gotten high everytime since then when smoking (well of course it depends on how much I have.)

 

Thanks for the info everybody! I had never even heard about not feeling it the first time until my friends told me.

 

yeah, also you kind of need to get familiar with the feeling before you realize how stoned you are. It's not obvious like being drunk - being stoned is pretty close to being sober in a lot of ways.

 

Oh, it is, my friend. I tried four times, and the smoke was not bad at all, and I inhaled properly, the whole nine yards. I'm sure the T stayed in my lungs awhile, LOL.

But the fifth time, by myself in the bedroom, I got FRIED when I did get off!

Just as some build up a tolerance, it takes others several times to get off.

 

Ya, it's all personal chemistry. I used to be in the camp of people who thought it was a matter of doing it right, then I smoked up numerous people. Even when we used a bong and I could see they were getting massive, deep hits, they didn't get stoned their first time.

I definitely did, though :spliff:

 

thats a good point. And you also need to get familiar with the feeling before you can start to enjoy it sometimes as well. (some people may get frightened or scared by the effects for example, or not realize how to enjoy the effects properly.) Thats just it....pot itsnt that intoxicating like alcohol. Its a small, mental, sometimes a wee bit physical effect that puts you in a state of mind.
