New to Weed: Am I High?

I am new to smoking weed, and have a couple of question. I have smoked twice now, with my girlfriend who is much more experienced. Both times she got a nice high off of 3-4 hits. She says we have good quality chronic, so bad weed isn't the problem here.

The first time I tried it I didn't have much success, but that was to be expected. The second time, this is what I felt:

Fuzzy head, numbness all over, bad coordination when standing up, really bloodshot eyes, extreme dry mouth, unable to concentrate, very sleepy, cold, a weird sort of nervous edginess, and my legs wouldn't stop shaking.

Here's what I did not feel:

Euphoria, things being funnier, being more talkative, any psychedelic or hallucinogenic effects, getting hungry.

I probably did 8 hits the second time.

So, one part of me thinks that yeah, I was high, but why didn't I get to experience any of the good stuff? My girlfriend sure did. She isn't normally talkative, but she was talking a lot, laughing at unfunny stuff, and said she felt like she was melting into the couch. So, clearly she was high.

Was I high? Is this a common thing for new smokers to get some of the effects of weed but not the really good stuff?

Is it possible that I smoked too much, too fast, and went right past the euphoria part and got stoned?

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Any advice, help, you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
 
You were high.

Now quit wasting good chronic trying to analyze what you are feeling and just relax and feel it.

If you keep analyzing you will never feel the good stuff.
 
So, you guys think that my lack of getting the euphoria, psychedelic effects, hunger was all psychological? Like I'm waiting for it to happen, so it's not happening?
 
Look at it this way, any other time you're having fun; are you constantly asking yourself if you're having fun?

If you're spending your whole high questioning yourself, it's no wonder that you aren't feeling the good effects. Take it easy, and you'll be giggling like an idiot in no time at all.

This is likely possible, there is a difference between being high and stoned, given that your a new toker it's probably a good idea for you to keep your dose moderate. Next time try taking 2-3 good sized hits from a pipe and see how you feel.
 
@neverstop: I am glad you think so, because that makes the most sense to me.

Thanks for the advice, guys. I will definitely be more relaxed and just enjoy it the next time around. I am pumped to try again. :)
 
Your first few times you are going to feel more side effects than desired effects. As you build up a tolerance over the next few sessions you will feel more desired effects than side effects. At least this is the case with me. That is probably one of the few complaints I have for cannabis, that it requires you to be committed to it to get anything out of it.
 
Yeh if you have no tolerance to weed and are practically a virgin this is typical (well it was for me)
First time I got "high" I was WRECKED. Nocoordination, I was scared/paranoid about everything and it basically felt like a "pot overdose".

Once your tolerance goes up a bit your body will let you actually enjoy it. I think right now your body just is learning how to react to it.
 
Try taking only 1 to 3 hits that you can hold in a while. But I think the more likely problem is that you are too worried about whether you are high to take in the awesomeness. So next time, just smoke and do not think about being high, just do whatever. Within several minutes, it should become obvious that something is different than it was half an hour ago.

I have gotten high every time I have smoked by the way.
 
Yeh maybe Im weird but I only usually have 2 hits of the same good pot everyday and I never get any less high from one day to the next.

I can take 3 tokes but I really dont need it, I do notice when I smoke a lot though certain sensations I normally dont get off of 2 hits.
Like if I smoke an entire joint I get this nice cozy warm feeling all over my face and body, but I never get that from 2 hits. I do it mainly to wind down and ease my senses. I think Im off topic too now lol
 
bojangles: 2 hits? you must have some sweet bud and a pretty low tolerance to boot.

i wish just 2 hits got me stoned-to-satisfaction... hell, it probably would now, but back when i was smoking i was just non-stop packing my bowl or rolling up or whatever the method until i got so distracted that smoking more was the last thing on my mind.

...i guess that's why i'm a pothead, though.... :|
 
im in the same boat with bojangles, 2 hits of my bud everyday and ill be set :)

but i do love to get skull fucked... haha!



try only hitting it once or twice not 8 lol
 
I don't have the time to read everyone elses posts but heres what I have to say. Don't expect halucinations because some people get them from weed, minor visuals at that. and if you havn't experienced psychedelia you don't really know what it is but all in all, your just not experienced enough with weed to know what to expect/look for in your high
 
god i wish i could feel anything but a head change off of 3-4 hits. even off good shit, enjoy your tolerance being low while it is cuz you'll miss it.
 
I definatly think that you just smoked too much too quick for yoour second time, I have seen it several times with people who have not smoked before, they dont recognize the feeling, and just keep smoking then go way past the fun part. what you should do is really relax, a good way to make sure you are, is not to have anything you need to do in the back of your mind, as in work or something, which can cause abit of panic and a bad headspace, but anyway, relax, dont have expectations, just smoke abit, after your first couple of hits have a break for a little while, and have fun! i noticed this alot when i first started too, and not having expectations helped alot. keep smoking, you will love it when you know your bounds abit more
 
wen i first smoked weed i didnt feel anything at all for the first 3 tyms, except mayb a lil headrush, by the 4th tym i was lyk fuck this, smoked it feeling sorry 4 myself, next thing i knew i was just happy, laughing at everything, and a feeling kinda lyk being mildly drunk swirling in my head an travelling down my spine, then i realised, it worked !!!!!!!!!!!!!
So yh, lyk evry1 else ses, just let it happen, have some alchahol or other drugs handy if it doesnt work, but just relax
