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

I know some people can get high the first time, but I did not. We hotboxed a car for my first time. I knew vaguely what I was doing, for I had been been smoking cigarettes and cigars for a while then. After a few bowls, everyone was like "O_O wow I'm stoned...." But I really didn't feel anything.

The next few days after that I smoked again, got a little high, but then the third time around, I got fuckin baked.

 

I didn't get, like HIGH until the third time I smoked either, idk what that's all about

 

ya i got fucking blown my first time. I think most people dont get high the first time is because they dont inhale and take really tiny hits.

 

That's probably true for a lot of people, but I inhaled the shit out of the weed the first time. Plus, the car was impossible to see through by the time we were done.

 

the first time i smoked i don't think i got high but the second time i didn't know were i was man

 

How strange... me neither I didn't get hight the first time... the second time was quite nice however.

 

The whole thing about people not getting high the first time is just out of context. If you think about it.. you dont go into smoking pot knowing how to hold in your hits, lighting the bowl properly, taking large hits etc, until you get the hang of it around your second or third time usually. My cousin who had been smokin for years before me got me high the first time and he showed me how to do it properly right then and there and I got blown outta my head.

 

I got pretty stoned the first time, and it was only with 3 bowls passed between like 4-5 people. I didn't cough at all either, so the people I was with were absolutely convinced that I was lying about having never smoked before.

 

thats really weird that you didnt cough.

 

Imagine if you got a baby high every day all day untill it grew up and then stoped getting it high, the normal world would blow its mind!

I didnt get high untill I started takeing smaller hits and leaving room for air to push the smoekin my lungs! The first time I did this I didnt know where I was.

 

I thanked my swimmer's lungs.

 

I got trashed as hell the first time. Like TRASHED. I started freakin out and shit...it was insane. The highest I have ever been.

I didn't cough when I got high the first time either. I only ever coughed (and sometimes still do) when I hit my pipe REALLY hard and toke the shiznit out of it, but only when there are only like 2-3 hits left and I am tokin the stuff on the bottom of the bowl.

 

Just out of curiousity...to the people that said they got high the first time...had you guys all been cigarette smokers beforehand?

 

I didnt smoke cigarettes beforehand.

 

Smoked for a month almost every day after a friend almost died (it was a good stress reliever), but I stopped easily and didn't start smoking the ganj till a year later.

 

some people hold the theory that since the cannibinoid receptors in your brain have no other function, they have been lying dormant for the first however many years of your life and need a few times till your aware that youre high. i dont know if that has any basis in truth, just something i heard. it makes since to me i guess, but im not a neurologist.

 

Nope

 

they aren't able to get it down to their lungs, and if they are, they never hold it in long enough. Some people get high their first time, I didn't, but my gf got high her first time, and so did my best bud, so I guess some people have stronger lungs

 

I heard that those receptors react to andenamine (sp?), which is released whenever you are learning something. It's like when you were younger and couldn't shut up asking questions, humans are just basically wired to be curious and like to have that curiousity fufilled.
I was a cigarette smoker before i got high, and the first time i did i was fuckin trippin...
How many people who got high their first time were read to as a young child might be a better question (the whole brain receptors postulation).

 

i had never smoked anything before i first toked. i coughed like CRAZY because i was with some pros with realllly dank shit. i got insanely ripped, higher than i think ive ever been. they taught me well.
