Considering Weed for the First Time

Don't take more than one big hit, or a couple small hits. Currently, most pot is strong enough that one or two hits will have you nicely stoned, and not totally tripping nuts - which is easy to do with cannabis if you simply smoke enough.

Hope you have a great time, cannabis is a fantastic substance! <3
 
Do not mix it with any other drugs your first time. After you know what it is like by itself, then try adding alcohol if you still want to on another occasion.

There is zero chance of craving cigarettes unless you add tobacco to the cannabis. This is unusual. I recommend knowing what just cannabis by itself is like first anyways.

I do not understand how some people do not get high their first time. You just inhale and hold it in. Take small hits and hold them in for as long as possible to let your lungs absorb it. Have plenty water (or better yet, cold peppermint tisane) nearby. You will cough quite a bit, but that is it. Just cough and do not worry about it. For your first time, only take a few hits (no more than 3).

Have your favorite music available. :D Food is good too, but you might want to decide beforehand whether to limit yourself.

Make sure you do not have to worry about any obligations or people you do not trust during the high. Also, get enough sleep and enough to eat & drink beforehand (beforehand as in earlier in the day, not right before smoking to leave room for eating a bunch while high ;) ).

Most of it lasts several hours, but the afterglow goes until around a day after. The next day you should be sober enough to drive, but be careful if you do.

Welcome to Bluelight. :) Wise choice to ask here before smoking.

HAVE FUN!

Right, I'll be extra careful to breathe and not swallow then - I'm a bit of a puke-o-phobe. And it will be just him and me, so I won't need to worry too much about coughing and looking like an idiot I suppose, he's already seen far worse drunken behaviour from me.

Although I can see myself with the joint in one hand and nervously checking this thread on my laptop with the other ;)

Haha! So am I. Which is why I'm weary about getting drunk, even if I come from a family who can drink without vomiting or having a huge hangover the next day. :P
 
The fact that you have even thought ahead enough to make this thread and look into it so much proves that you are responsible and will be fine.

Goodluck. Pot rules.
 
I'm bored and love typing how-to's lol


1. Have you ever smoked a cigarette? because smoking marijuana is not hard, especially when its in a joint. You're boyfriend said something about exhaling to make room in your lungs for the marijuana smoke. Don't over-think this, cause it mainly applies to bongs and glass pipes. You'll be fine even if you don't exhale. Just suck air through with your mouth for a second or two, then inhale it. Holding it in doesn't really do anything, since i believe that most of the active chemical is absorbed in the first second of entering your lungs (but you can go ahead and do whatever your bf says you should do lol). Just remember coughing is a good sign- its a sign that you got a decent hit. As you finish the joint, the smoke will become hotter too, so take shorter drags.

2. As for the experience.....well....You just have to try it. All i can really say is that first times can be a little unnerving, just because its a different kind of experience. You may feel like you're in a different world, and you're loosing control (first time fears for me) but i don't think you'll get that high anyways, so i wouldn't worry about it. It definitely helps if your bf is there though. dry mouth is common. Food tastes wonderful. music is awsome. (sex is awsome...) short term memory is not so good while under the influence lol....uumm....in reality driving is usually fine if you're not too baked. You won't get that horrible stomach feeling from drinking too much, and you won't throw up. And if you're too high, its kind of like the opposite of alcohol- getting up and doing things makes you sober up. Sitting down and staying still makes you feel higher. That's i guess the biggest piece of advice, because the only caution is honestly getting TOO high...which is funny....but if it happens, take a walk around or something.
 
To those people who suggested smoking the weed with no tobacco - the reason my BF tells me that is not possible here in the UK is because weed is too expensive and you get too little to be able to do this feasibly. I've seen the standard amount that he gets, and I'm guessing you would only be able to make one joint out of it if you didn't mix it with tobacco. I'm not overjoyed about the thought of smoking tobacco, but we're both students and the money situation is too tight for anything else.

Jakeperson - my mantra is "someone on the Internet will know" :) everyone has been very supportive, which is nice, as this is a "bad" thing for me to do, if my family knew they'd be EXTREMELY shocked and appalled...but hey, it's my life. I'm very glad I found such a friendly and helpful forum.

Crystal Antlers - No, I have never smoked a cigarette. I am nervous about the experience, because I can be a bit of a 'control freak', but I guess that's partly why I want to do it. I feel I've never truly let go or let my hair down. And thanks for the tips about walking around. I'm sure my BF will look after me :)

I suppose all that's left now is for me to try it and let you guys know how it went. Not sure when this will be - probably between just over a week from now and in the following few weeks. I'm also going to stop thinking about it too much, and just relax and not make a big deal of it when he passes me the joint. Thanks again for all your kind comments.
 
Just get a cheap little acrylic bong or a glass pipe (no idea how much they are where you are, but probably not much and worth paying for to not smoke an addictive and carcinogenic herb). Then you will not have to worry about filling the joint. If you really want to smoke a joint and fill it up, you could use some cheap herb like tea or peppermint.
 
You shouldnt get any cravings for tobacco if you only smoke one weed/tobacco joint. But just remember to relax and have fun and dont worry about anything while smoking and you'll have a great time. And make sure to let us know how it goes and how you like it.
 
i feel like everything you smoke out of effects your trip greatly bacause thats generally where your coming up and it has effects your high on your peak sometimes. be away of this next time
 
Well, if you are like the rest of us, you most likely won't get high the first time you spark up. I would highly reccommend having some benzos on hand in case you have a sketchy trip. You might start with some commercial shit so if the worm turns it will not be too bad and won't last for only an hour or less.

Happy surfing%)
 
yea somtimes if youv been drinking ,espicialy if ur new to pot , wen u hit it too hard it will set off ur gagg relex and ull trow up a bit . this happend to me vodka+huge bong hit= mess on the patio
 
and dont be surprised if u hate it ur first few times- both my gf and my sister complain that it makes them uneasy so i say its somthing u gotta get used to ,but some ppl just dont like the high most chicks (not all) i know dont like the high at all theyd rather drink than smoke.
 
I liked when I was a freshman and liked it, but then the more illicit drugs came into the picture, and I've hated pot ever since unless I'm comin down off somethin else lol
 
...

note that most people don't get high the first time and when they finally do it's a slow subtle change that often goes by unnoticed until pointed out.

^^that's an answer to a post about hypothetically blending a certain mint with pot to make the session last longer. at the time, it was great. smoked great, tasted great, same high. the next day my throat was sore as fuck, it hurt when i took deep breaths and it looked like i had strep throat (but i didn't, because it all subsided in about a day and a half)

when i come back from drug class i'll try to find a legit source about smoking mint.
