So this past weekend I got an 8th and It was my first time so I made a bowl out of a coke can, and went out in the garage and me and my friend took about 5 hits each. I figured that'd be enough and went back inside to get on the computer after I took a shower. I felt so relaxed but didn't really feel a good "high". So I went out to the park (safer, don't want my parents to find out) and smoked about half of what was left, went home and had the munchies and still the same thing. So me and my friend went BACK to the park to smoke the rest, this time with a home made bong and a joint. All the weed was gone and went down and watched the superbowl for a little, not feeling high, just very relaxed.

So do I just need to smoke more at once? Or smoke more in general to get a high? Any advice would be great, thanks!
 
a bong is the best way to take it, most effective anyway.
try smoking afew cones in 1 sitting
 
Well I know it's very common to not feel anything the first time you smoke weed (I didn't, but I only smoked one joint). But a full eighth split between two people should have had you high as a kite... Was it your friends first time as well? Was he feeling it?

You absolutely should not need to smoke more than that (or even close to that much) to feel it if you're brand new to pot. My biggest guess was that it was a very weak Indica strain. Indica is known for it's body high's and relaxation while Sativa is known for it's mind and "trippy" effects. Maybe you were really high, but it just wasn't what you expected it to be? Do you know any other people who said they got high from the same batch?

I guess it's possible that your home made pipes and bongs weren't properly constructed but I doubt it, it's pretty hard to fuck up making a pop can bowl...

I'd say buy a cheap bong (smoking from aluminum cans is very very bad for you anyway), maybe find a different source for weed and try again. If you STILL get minimal effects after that, let us know.
 
Welcome to BL OP. It would be helpful if you gave your threads descriptive titles in future. Please read the CD guidelines (link in my sig).
 
^^^ What he said lol maybe your not hitting hit hard enough and combined with not making an effective pipe. Take in bunch of smoke hold in let out. When you have to cough mean you got a good suffsiant hit. And I don't understand you say you got an 8th but yet you say you smoke bout 2 bouls (10 rips) then you say you smoke another boul. Then you say you went back and smoked the rest which would be like 2 or 3 times of what you smoked before but say you only smoked a joint. Maybe you didn't smoke a full 3.5 grams.

Just a couple possibilities. Theres no resone why you shouldn't of gotten high off an 8th in what sounded like a 1 to 2 hour time period.

Hmm... I was getting lung fulls of smoke, and I could see I was getting a good hit, and when I smoked from the bowl, I would smoke it until I could feel my throat start to burn a little bit. I'm guessing it was the weed, It smelled a bit minty, but I wasn't sure what it smelled like. And the bong I smoked from I got the biggest hits and still nothing. I'll try a different source next time, thanks!
 
how much do you trust the guy you got it from to give you good stuff and would you recognize good or bad stuff either way?

Maybe someone sold you something other then weed? Seems unlikely but still possible. This generally doesn't make sense to me though, when I first smoked I could barely finish a bowl of weed it got me so high. Yet half an 8th barely hit you. I smoke several times a day and only smoke about an 8th per week (usually 1 or 2 grams of chronic and 4-6 grams of schwag, which is similar to an 8th of chronic probably).

If you smell the bud in the bag, then it should smell generally skunky and maybe lightly fruity, it's a bit hard to explain but it's a very recognizable smell.

Also I'd say you probably didn't get a full 8th, because it would be pretty hard to smoke through an 8th that quickly. 1 joint would usually be between .2 and .5 grams, a bong bowl around .1-.3 (depending hugely on the bong).

A lot of people don't smoke right when they first start- they don't inhale properly, don't hold the hit in, burn the bowl too directly, stuff like that. But your technique sounds about right as long as you were holding each hit in for a min. of 6 or 7 seconds. I think that finding a new dealer and giving it another shot is your best bet. You could try a waterfall bong or a blunt or something to make sure you get high as hell.

i agree that you probably werent inhaling, most people who are new to weed dont. but if im incorrect, maybe u have shit weed, mids has never worked for me even with 0 tolerance. also it seems to me you got ripped off because the amount of bowls/joints etc u guys smoked doesnt seem to be a whole 8th. (unless of course the j was massive)
 
Are you holding the smoke? If not hold it in your lungs for at least 5 secs.

Also.. an entire 8th? Your lungs would be dieing.
 
Yeah he said it was an eigth, and yes I was holding it in for around 6 seconds and sometimes I'd hold it in for a litlle longer for around 15 seconds. I'm gonna guess it was the weed, and from what you guys are saying an 8th is alot. I paid *snip* for it, and it filled up about 1/2 an inch of the bag and it lined the whole bag and we smoked all that. Thanks for the help, im gonna finish up my oxys then maybe look for another dealer to give it another shot.

well a dude who deals mids "saying" it was an 8th means absolutely nothing especially if u dont really know the guy too well. but yea an 8th for *snip* means it was total shit so it makes sense that you only got a few threshold effects
 
Sorry bout that Yerg, and no I meant I have 20 oxys and im gonna take those until I run out, then try pot again...

The first 4 or 5 times I smoked I didn't get high because I wasn't inhaling really long enough, it would be quick and blow it out and cough, you got to actually hold the shit in your lungs several times.
 
OP - since I know how much you paid for it, I wonder if you actually got the 3.5gs that should comprise an eighth, and if the weight was right, my experienced guess is going to be that it was EXTREMELY low quality. To this day, even after smoking pot daily for years, half an eighth can easily knock me on my ass. After a few days without smoking, just 3 lil bong rips or so had be stoned as shit. So, I'm going to go with the advice you already got here --- DEFINITELY try a different source, and for people learning how to "smoke" things, after you inhale the smoke breathe in some air to make sure it's going into your lungs, if that makes sense, since learning to inhale can be an issue here too.

I also don't think it's strange to try opiates before weed...I didn't, but I randomly know quite a few people who have. Sorta depends on your social circle and location, I suppose.
