I hate smoking with people who've never smoked before. More often than not, they just start to annoy me with their questions and realizations.
Really, though, when it happens I just treat it as a regular session. I think that might be why I get annoyed, actually.... to me, it's just another blunt, but to them it's a brand new experience that they're normally pretty ignorant of and they act like it. Nothing inherently wrong with that, but it does annoy me.
huh. for me, its always very fun to share the experience and to revel in the feeling. it feels stronger if i smoke with someone for the first time because i enjoy sort of mentoring them through the experience, and we both benefit. although i have only done this with people i knew for a while beforehand, so that may be a contributing factor. i can certainly understand why it might irritate you though.
shimazu: i like using a piece for people's first time for a few reasons. one, i have a cheap ass piece made out of brass pipe for $8 at home depot, so i dont give a fuck if someone drops it. also, if the person hasn't smoked a cigarette before (one of the people i smoked up for the first time had never smoked anything) then a joint or blunt will not work well because the person most likely inhales the smoke into their mouth, exhales, and think they will get high. this is the reason why many people claim to not feel anything the first time (or consecutive times) they smoke weed. if you inhale it right, it WILL work. also, i suck at rolling joints OR blunts (ive tried both, but honestly a piece is easier and less wasteful). if you carefully explain how to hit the piece right and show them with the first hit, its no problem unless your smoking with a total retard.
Captain.Heroin: the reason i dont like to start people on edibles is because too often they get WAAAAY too high and dont like the experience. i smoked someone up for the first time who had never smoked anything before and couldn't handle smoke very well. my solution was to make a water pipe/bong out of a gatorade bottle, specifically show her exactly how to hit it, and she had no problem because i used ice water, which cooled the smoke significantly. she got very high, but she loved it. my first time i smoked half a bowl and got waaaaay too high. i saw shit for 10 minutes, got the most potent psychedelic effects ever, etc. i didnt like it till i came down to a reasonable level at which point i really enjoyed the experience... edibles would have made me even higher than that, and the dose cannot be titrated easily. with smoking, you let them take a few hits, see where they are at in a few minutes, then they either are way too high to smoke again or they dont feel much and you pack another bowl. much easier than waiting an hour-hour and a half to redose...
these are opinions btw. i appreciate the input guys :D
