Cannabis / 1st time / most horrible experience

Instead of smoking cones to yourself, just take a hit and let it sit. It was a while before I could cash a bowl and not have a coppery taste in my mouth similar to bile, but now I can smoke with the best of 'em.

...The frames were easily explainable. When you smoke pot and see yourself in frames (I understand this as if you felt like there was a strobe light in the room or something), that's simply your brain having very minor seizures that don't have any effect other than making your vision choppy...."
Hmm.. :) the choppy/framed vision is NOT small seizures.. It is simply your normal vision, but when your not stoned your brain makes all eyemovement look smooth.. Actually it is'nt.. Record your eye movements with a cam, and see how it looks :) Your brain makes the normal choppy eye movement look like a smooth and consistent picure..

My first experience was pretty powerful also, but in a very good way. In a way that I wish I could repeat. In fact, my first 20 or so times with pot were incredible, but now even if I stop for a period of time (weeks) to make sure I have no tolerance, it still doesnt blow me away like it did the first bunch of times.
The first time I smoked it, I was with my sister and her boyfriend, in a house with older people (I was 16 at the time) who had no problem with it, so there was absolutely no paranoia, and I was with friendly people that I would trust with my life. Definitely the best setting for a first time. I shared 2 joints (of unknown quality) with 2 other people. I didn't notice effects until the 2nd one was finished, and it started with some colors in front of my vision. We then went downstairs and played pool. I would space out and think I was floating upwards, and it was quite amazing. It was complete bliss, and amazement due to such a new experience. I can't really explain most of it, since it was years ago, but I do vividly remember the floating sensation. I would be staring at a ball on the pool table, and my vision would turn sort of like you see in some video games when the clipping doesnt work correctly and you go through a wall. Kinda like tracers I guess. Then I would focus, or someone would say something to me, and I would be back to normal, and dissapointed that it was over, but then it would start up again right away.
I'll never forget that night ;)
Its been a long time since i've had anything similar to that from pot, even when I do large amounts I usually just end up getting tired and going to sleep. Its still enjoyable though.
 
It's not all just tolerance, although that is probably the main factor, but it is also just remembering how pot is, the reason it's so good when you first start is because it is something totally new, maybe a year or so off weed would make you forget about all of its effects? :)
 
finally.there are people out their like me...............weed messes me up. if i smoke it the next thing i know im hiding in a closet somewhere armed to the teeth
have no problem eating a ten strip of acid, or railing a vial of ketamine though.
i even got paranoid off weed cookiies that my friends sister makes
i guess everyones different

Definately, I quit for two weeks. I bought an 1/8 Saturday afternoon a smoked with some friends. I was lying there and all of a sudden it was like I had woken up into reality for the first time.
 
The first time i got ripped it wasnt too fun either, sounds similar to your experience. I didnt know what to expect, and i got really, REALLY high. I was so paranoid of everything i was doing, and thought that everyone was looking down their nose at me and how pitiful i was. Everything was more intense, i had a huge headache and some people even thought i was on shrooms i was acting so fucked.
After awhile getting stoned wasnt as intense, and i just laugh at myself and my silly thoughts :)
 
Maybe your allergic to pot or something? a few weeks back after exams finished we all went out, passed around a joint (not spliff), it was strong weed but i know for a fact it wasnt laced. Passed it between 5 of us and 4 of us were fine but a one of my friends had a really bad reaction and within a few minutes had to go outside cos the bar was to closed in and noisy, went for a walk and she passed out for a while, i was really surprised at first because i hadnt known pot to do that. but i guess she was allergic. id advise against taking it if you have a bad reaction like any drug i guess hehe :) personally i hate pot cos you get that really crappy sticky feeling in your throuat & mouth all night and all it really does is relax ya slightly and make ya sleepy, as well as making ya eat likea horse lol, much rather drink or take pills hehe ;)
 
i felt nothing the first couple of times i smoked up, and i was doin everythin right, i was smokin up with some experienced stoners and they got a good high on it, but for me it was nothing.. tho, i was pretty scared and cautious of being caught and looking like an idiot the first couple of times, so my anxiety couldve gotten the best of me.
my first time really getting stoned, and i mean really really stoned, was a few days after my 16th b-day.. me and a bunch of my friends were on a trip to the states (im from canada) and we smoked a fat one in the hotel room.. i can see what u mean about the first real time being bad, cos at the time i was very very scared.. it was my first and only drug and a brand new feeling.. i did smoke a ton of it that time and just first remember feeling the strobe light effect, where everything went by like a slide-show.. then i remember looking over at my friend who was sitting a few meters from me and then the entire room started to flash and fade away and all i could see was him, then i blinked at the entire room had warped into a desert-like place, with pyramids and the whole works.. everything that my friends were saying went in one ear and out the other..
all my stones since then feel like a dream, yknow? everything is so surreal, content and animated that im always convinced im gonna pinch myself and wake up.. everytime i close my eyes i get fantastic visions of things like looking up at a suspended bridge and the sky was a stormy dark blue, and at the tops of the bridge's pillars there were these cup-like platforms where these pale people would leap off of and float downward very slowly.. its great, just the emotional escape is what makes me enjoy it.. i just had to learn to be comfortable and ease up a bit, and and thats all it took to take worrisome experiences and make them enjoyable for me.. it was just the nerves that made everything bad for my first few times.
**ADDED** Now that I think of it though, whenever i smoke weed, my heart RACES like you would not believe.. its like i cant even feel the 2nd beat its goin so fast.. ive never thought to ask but i see people talkin about it in other trip-related posts.. is this a good thing/bad thing/something to worry about?

If you do worry about it it will only get worse, and possibly turn into a panic attack.
Marijuana increases your heart rate, and you will notice it a lot more with good weed, and you should ignore it and take your mind off it.
