Marijuana - First Time - Overrated

*Drug: Marijuana.
*Time: smoked from midnight to 12:15a.
*How used: smoked.
*Dosages: 1/10th of a gram.
*Set: annoyed, impatient, excited.
*Setting: wooded area behind some houses.
*People: myself and a guy friend.
*Effects: dry mouth, glass eyes, calm, easily annoyed/frustrated, spacy.
We used a cigarette looking piece to smoke about a 1/10th a gram of weed. I was surprised to find that the weed smoke went in very smooth. I figured I'd cough out my first lungfull. Not the case at all. It also didn't taste half bad (however it did stink). I was giddy for probably a minute after smoking, but that soon turned to a fixation on anything and everything that wasn't important. I found myself getting annoyed at small things, yet I felt smarter and motivated, too. I had/have terrible dry mouth, and though I was before I smoked, I was definitely hungry after. Besides being annoyed, I was calm and not at all concerned about the future. And I really let myself go (to sing along) with the music on the radio. Oh, also soon after my last hit I developed a small headache in one of my temples. It went away after I ate. I'll most likely do weed again, just to get the full experience.
 
Most people dont get high the 1st time. I did and couldnt stop laughing for about an hour. The first few times they can all be different. With weed you just need to give it acouple of chances. And always have something to drink. I dont see how 1/10 of a gram could do anything. Sometimes I will smoke 5 grams in one sitting. But I have always been a mad crazy pot head so my tollarance is high as hell. I did once roll a joint that weighed in at 3 3/4 oz. Almost a 1/4 pound. About 20 of us smoked that log!
Next time pack a bowl and smoke that.
 
Its good to see that you're willing to give it another go. Sometimes you just don't get much out of weed, other times you get a hell of a lot. Just depends on the grade of the stuff you smoke. I agree with Mokenwee here, chop yourself up a bowl of the stuff and smoke it.
 
I'm surprised you could even measure out 100 mg of weed. That is a very small amount, especially to share with someone! Are you sure your measurements are correct? The effects you describe sound like the placebo effect to me. Did time seem to flow differently at all?
If you want a taste of what weed is really like, and you don't know how much a bowl is, you should share about 1 gram with your friend, not 1/10 of a gram.
 
Hmmmmmm sounds like your dose wasn't very high, but as Monkwee and Fragment have said, you often don't get high the first time you smoke weed. I didn't and it wasnt until my 2nd time that I actually felt the effects.
Still, good to see your optimism and enthusiasm to try again even though your experiance wasn't good.
 
#1 Rule of weed, don't expect anything to happen.... The whole idea of weed is to relax and go with the flow.
Smoke a joint, chill out with a funny TV show.. or go for a walk in the park.. don't be so concerned about what will happen, when, where..etc..etc..

ah...mary jane. it's been so long since i was a real "pothead," like, three months or so. heh. anyway, 1/10g of bud is what, almost microscopic? i don't see how anything short of the highest quality dank or dro would give you even the slightest high off that. but, it could also be your first time. i know i was rolling on the floor for about half an hour laughing my ass off my first time, but i guess me and two friends smoking a quarter between the three of us could have had something to do with it.
the paranoid feeling comes on with alot of people when using any drug, i've noticed. it's a bad vibe to have, so try to think about something else. it'll help. and, as already recommended, try a bowl. but, instead of a normal pipe-style bowl, use a steamroller or, *gasp*, a BONG. fill it nice and full and then clear it, and i'll almost guarantee that, unless it's ditch weed (*gag*), you'll be floating in no time.
and some good things to have handy while baked would be beverages that have a citrusy flavor. for some reason, they taste so much better than normal, i think. and quarter cakes (ie-fudge rounds, oatmeal creme pies, etc) can really help alleviate the munchies, and they're not a cotton-mouthy as, oh say, powdered donuts. but, you gotta find the right munchies for yourself. just trying to help out.
 
remember, she said she used a cigarette looking thing, which is a one hitter. as the name suggests you get about 1-2 hits from it, and fit about 100mg of weed in it. obviously this is no where near the amount of a normal bowl piece or bong etc, imo to get a good idea of what weed is about i suggest you smoke a bong with your friend.
 
I haven't smoked weed in ages... I just don't like it. Never undertstood what the big deal is, and believe me, I've tried to figure it out.
On the other hand, I don't enjoy drinking that much either... Maybe some people are just wired differently.
 
Buy a huge fucking bong and take a few rips off that...I gurantee you you'll see what it's all about ;)
 
I've forsaken bongs for the great portability of a pipe. First time doping was a pretty good setting, altho eager, i wasnt expecting anything to drastic.
was good to know it did something.
 
1/10th of a gram is like one hit, not a freaking dose. Try a whole gram next time, and see if you get high. :-P
P.S. -> BONG IT!
 
keep smokin tha ganja and don't smoke schwag , thats where herb gets its bad rap from.

what the fuck??? 1/10 of a gram? I smoke a half gram by myself pretty much every time I smoke, you need to smoke more. hit up a gram with two other people and enjoy yourself.
 
I love weed :) However, there are lots of people who have tried it many times, and still find little enjoyment or effect. Not every drug is for every person (duh). I hope you enjoy it even more next time, cos weed is probably my favourite drug, but if it's not working out, don't push it.
:)
I think that to recognise and appreciate all the facets of pot, you need to have been really stoned at least once. The more I do it, the more I see. Hey it's a year on and I am still discovering new effects and experiences. For next time:
-get some good strong weed
-smoke it good (small bongs to start with...easy does it...)
-smoke heaps til you get really stoned!
Definitely have lots of drink, munchie food, a comfy setting, some funny stuff to watch, or just chillout in the backyard, whatever you enjoy. I just find that dope enhances all my senses, so if I feel shit or aren't comfy, it really affects me. Listen to some music really loud, get your favourite songs (you'll feel them like you never have before), sit in the sun or have a shower, just experiment with the awesome feelings!! all your senses come alive man! *makes hippy peace sign* schweet!
Also, if you want to drink alcohol, make sure you do it after you've smoked your pot. Smoking while already pissed, especially for inexperienced people, don't even go there sister, it will probably make you spew your guts up, feel terrible and turn you off pot for life (maybe a little dramatic there). If you smoke first it's a nice combo but I'd steer clear for a while.
People think weed is a soft drug but I think it is one of the most powerful and mind-altering in terms of heightened physical and mental states! It should be given more credit. But not everyone is comfortable with it like I said.
For a chilled session, maybe try joints or a mini-pipe. For some hard-core headspins and explosive laughter, chug on a few bongs.
Sorry if this was rambling but I want you to have fun!
Good luck! Happy smokin' ;)
Have a nice day too :)
 
Also - make sure you are INHALING correctly.
If you are a ciggerette smoker, you probably already know how, thus this doesnt apply to you.
If you dont know how to inhale, the rule of thumb is this: breathe in your marijuana, then breathe in some normal air over the top of it as well.
So often I cringe seeing first-time users waste a huge hit because they bum-sucked (ie. didnt inhale.. aussie slang)
 
Most people dont get high the first time and then badmouth it. Glad you arent doing that. Try it again but smoke more, at least a 1 gram of kb.
 
I had about 3 cones and a joint the first time I smoked weed. I wasn't high at all until around half an hour later, where it suddenly seemed to kick in while watching my friend playing GTA2 and i noticed how real the game seemed, and couldnt stop laughing at shit and talking absolute shit :P
