New to Weed: Am I High?

[drug_mentor]

Sounds like you were high to me. Although usually first times high have a lot more positive effects than that.

From the sounds of it your girlfriend isn't that experienced with weed, shit like laughing a lot and feeling like you are melting in to furniture are not effects typical of a regular smoker. The weed still could have been pretty shit, I have known a lot of idiots who had smoked more than a few times (still not heaps but you know, not first timers or anything) to claim weed that was average at best was awesome. Shitter weed gives more of the negative effects and less of the positive.

I have never found weed psychedelic and it makes me less talkative/social, not moreso. But for a first time you should get hungry and find some things more funny, feel a nice body high and some euphoria.

I think most likely you smoked a little too much the second time and might want to try 4-6 hits of similar quality bud. You also did not elaborate on if you used a bong/pipe/joint/etc. and this can make a difference, if you used a bong I am almost certain that you smoked too much, if it was a joint then that isn't a whole lot to smoke and quality of the weed might be the issue.

Some people are sensitive to cannabis and depending on the cbc to thc ratio there could be unpleasant anxiety overshadowing the high as well

Thanks for the input, everyone. Just to clarify, we used a pipe and not a bong or joint. Next time I'll try maybe 3-4 hits, and just relax. I'll let you know.

Good idea, Dr. Tenma...

Relax. That's your best friend.

I may offer a counterpoint though - everybody's mind works differently, and reacts differently to these substances. Also, you've not talked about the quality of the weed that you have. There are substantial differences between what is effectively the low end of the market, and the high end, and weed from each of those 'ends' will also react very differently.

Also, do you know if what you smoked was indica based, sativa based, or a hybrid strain?

Weed is complicated...

some good advice in this thread, give it a few more goes and you'll get there

If it wasnt very comfortable, go very slow! When i first got high my girlfriend had some bomb stuff at the time. I smoked a whole bowl by myself not knowing what was going to happen. WHAM! i got baked and hated it. I reccomend that you take maybe one or 2 hits and chill. Actually, just take a nice hit and chill for 5 min or so, than if you wanna up it take another. Just start out slow my man and get used to it. You have to dip your feet in the water before diving in head first sometimes.






HAVE FUN!!! :D

The first time I had absolutely no control over my though processes. I couldn't speak more than one word in a sequence and I got the dreaded "Am I gonna be like this forever" thoughts. Everything was in slow motion and it was the infinite burn ride. I must have asked them 10000 times if we were close to the house yet. Now that I think about it, I'd probably give just about anything to experience a high like that again. If you're paranoid or scared it will increase the crazy effects. But I'm too chill with it now to be gettin crazy. I miss those days .
