I've smoked like 5 times and every time I do I just feel really weird and act crazy. It's not that it's not working it's pretty strong but I don't get any euphoria from it I don't know what people like about it. Anything I'm doin wrong?
 
I think you may just need more experience with it.

After about a dozen times smoking weed (and getting a decent hit), I slowly got the effects.

I get great tactile sensations ("body high"), inflammation relief, hunger stimulation, relaxes me. I also get visuals from smoking weed but I am not sure if everyone else does too or not.
 
have you considered that maybe, weeds just not for you?

My first time was amazing, nothing will ever come close to that high! & people might be able to help you more if you give a detailed description instead of 'it makes me crazy' ;)
 
i like the smell and the taste lol

i think you just need more experience as mentioned above, if you really don't enjoy it though, there's no reason to keep trying. Anxiety/paranoia are common effects, you'll become tolerant to it eventually but some people have it worse than others.
 
I like the social element to it. with my housemates who don't smoke weed, we hardly ever just hang out with each other - it's only ever really if we're going out on a night or pass in the kitchen, in which case we'll probably hang out for 20 minutes then everyone retreats into their rooms to do their own thing (facebook, xbox, playing guitar etc i get so bored). with the friends who i get stoned with however every time we get a bud (quite often hahah) it's a big group thing where 6-7 of us all spend like 6 hours together smoking, listening to music and stuff.
you could say we could do that without smoking weed and have just as good a time, but it doesn't seem to work like that given how i spend time with my housemates. the weed brings us all together, without sounding too hippyish :)

it also feels good man

It might help if you told us what kind of high you were expecting..
 
Well I get the well known recreational effects but I also receive additional medical benefits as a bonus. Really I could write a whole book about why I like it.

But at the end of the day it only matters how cannabis affects you. Some people just don't like it or take a long time to start enjoying the effects. Its not your fault and there's nothing you can do to change it.
 
It's an acquired taste. One of the first few times I tried it I flipped out and ended up in hospital uncontrollably shouting and jumping/dancing around (sounds as if I must've been having fun but it was terrifying). You would think that would put me off for life, and it did for a few months, but curiosity eventually got the better of me and I learned to titrate my dose and enjoy the experience. It's so different to any high you've probably ever experienced, especially if you've only drunk alcohol before or taken other conventional downers that you really have to learn to appreciate it. Sometimes it takes trial and error to happen, but for some it'll never be enjoyable.

For some the choice of strain can make a big difference to whether you enjoy it or not.
 
i love smoking weed. the intoxicating effects are what i desire, but i enjoy the whole process of smoking (packing the bowl, lighting the weed, ect..) it helps me get a new perspective and see the brighter side of life almost as if i am wearing rose colored glasses
 
LMAO I read what you guys wrote and gave it another chance a few hours ago. Instead this time after smoking I went home instead of hanging out with my friends like I usually do. I had a lot of fun at home just relaxing, listening to music and playing video games and I actually got a euphoria unlike the other times. I think it took a while to get the better effects and instead of following my friends on some stupid adventure I just chilled out home and I had alotta fun this time.

Another question. I've heard that it can make you unmotivated. Anyway to avoid this?
 
I love the smell too, and the way it looks and how it makes your hands smell after breakin up some super dank...I love weed
 
Ah, classic case of people reading the title and not the op.

I think you'll get used to it more the more you do it. IMO weed really hits a sweet spot after the first dozen or so times, where you're function-able but clearly high. After a while the high isn't anywhere as pronounced.
 
this thread asks the same question i've had for the last few years
what is so goddamn good about weed
i applaud the OP for asking, cause i sure as hell dont know
 
As mentioned previously - perhaps weed just isn't for you. Me? I don't really see how benzos are fun - I have a prescription for temazepam, clonazepam, lorazepam : for anxiety, sleeping, and panic attacks. That's it - however, MANY people love them. Use them on a regular basis to 'feel awesome' 'get fucked up'. Do I bother asking, 'what is up with that?' No. This is because I KNOW the answer is - I just don't find them enjoyable.

Cannabis is SO vast in variety. It serves many purposes. Maybe you don't have a reason to smoke it (clearly this is true...) ? Thus, wait until you do! Then, you'll know why it's great.

**Answer to the OPs previous question : don't worry about it. This is completely different from person to person. Also, it depends a lot of the strain. Do some research on what specific strains are known for - how they make you feel! I do this all the time and quite it pretty interesting, and fun! Good luck. Enjoy.

Haha! Maybe your like me pal, don't mind smoking out and about with the boys but when i'm high i'd rather play some video games or chill with the guitar, not running round some woods like a madman!

& it does make some people lazy, but those people were lazy to begin with. lack of motivation is all to do with you. Weed may make you think you cba to do something, but in the end it's your choice not the plants. :)

- This threads pretty cool :D

Smoked like 5 times? That's how many times I used to smoke before breakfast! You really don't have much experience with weed to even be able to judge or enjoy it yet. You need years more time with cannabis before you can make an opinion on whether you like it or not.
For me, it was love at 1st toke back in 1969. We were just kids at the time & our only mind-altering stuff we had used was beer & huffin' Carbona Spot-Remover (which I don't recommend at ALL!!). When I took my 1st few hits of some Jamaican that my buddy's brother had flown-in (he was smuggling weed during the mid-1960s & was a pilot) & turned us onto, I knew this would be my drug-of-choice from then on & I've yet to find anything I dig more.
Give yourself time to decide if weed is your bag & the day you toke some killer smoke, cop 1 helluva buzz, & realize if it's for you or not, then you'll have an idea if you're a weedhead or not.
