First Time Smoking Issues (help?)

[lotuslanding]

Friday night, I tried smoking pot for the first time. I had never smoked anything before then, not even a cigarette. My friend got his little pinch hitter and his stash of Trainwreck (it was my birthday).

So we drove out to this little secluded spot, and he packs the pincher and I try to start toking up. I inhale just like I'm breathing in really deep and try to hold it, but end up coughing up a storm. It tastes like shit and my mouth is already feeling dry.

I toke some more, he smokes a bit, and we end up packing the pincher maybe four times. I smoked the majority of each pinch, getting in four or five really good hits (deepest breath I could manage and tried to hold it in as long as possible), with a bunch of little hits in between.

Even with the fact that I have smoked more than him, he's already high when I feel nothing. He says maybe I'm just in denial and I'll feel it later. We listened to some groovy music and just sat there trying to vibe. I'm still not feeling anything.

We've been smoking for roughly an hour or so and he has to go home. He drove me home and dropped me off, lending me a CD to vibe to "when it hits me".

Yea, one problem: I don't think it ever hit me! I laid in my bed with the CD on and just waited. I didn't feel a thing. I was looking at the CD player (my little brother's batman stereo), which has the bat emblem that changes colors, and all of a sudden it kind of shifted in looks. It looked more like teeth. I closed my eyes and swirling colors were there.

But the thing is, maybe my mind was overcompensating since I so desperately wanted to be high. Or maybe that was it. But the thing is, I didn't feel the physical high that I hear so much about. I didn't get the warm sensations, the mellowing out, the euphoria.

Is it normal for people to not have much of a reaction or no reaction at all the first time they smoke? Should I just try, try, again? (I probably will do the latter either way, but the first one I would like an answer on.)

Yea, I've heard stories of people trying it there first time and not getting high. I got SO FUCKED UP my first time it wasn't even funny, but yea wait till the next time you do it. You'll know it when it hits you.

yeah dude, dont worry, i know a lot of people who smoked their first time and didnt feel anything. myself, i got so fuckin high that that i just sat and stared at the wall all night while my friends raided my kithcen and trashed my house. and just a thought, a lot of people say you the most high the first time, and after that its not as powerful, but i think you just dont know how to handle yourself the first time rather than your super duper swooshed. fuck mman, thats totally irrelevant, just a thought though.

Forsure try it again, a lot of people do not get high the first time. BTW you dont need to hold it in, the THC (stuff that gets you high) is absorbed almost instantly, or so i hear

2 bowls and i wasnt high 1st time.

Dude, I smoked a whole joint by myself the first time. Even then it took me 2 more times before I ever got high. I thought it was all hype at first. Try it a few more times, you will fall in love.

gotta build some THC receptors in the brain.


it took me 4 smoking sessions until i was high. the 4th time i was just driving home and smoked half of a joint(it was a 2g j) and it just HIT me, i felt like my eyes were gonna pop out of my head and it felt like a bug was running up and down my throat, it was trippy as hell but i loved every minute. Man i wish i could feel like that again

[phreak]

man...I hear you...when i first blazed i was the same all my friends were soo baked...i had nothing...but then as i kept burrning with them i began to feel it... It was awesome then i could get really high and they would only get a bit high....its all about time..just keep smoking honestly dont stop you will feel it and when you do you will love it!!!

[smokinfresh]

Same with me I just felt a bit relaxed my first time. No prob its normal for almost everyone. DOnt worry bout it. And the second Time was my first gettin high for me. It's different for everyone. Do it more and U'll feel the effects. GREAT FEELINGS.

if you weren't terribly averse to the smoking experience, give it the old college try as many times as neccesary.

theres an old album my dads got (A Childs Garden of Grass) that says "some people, even baptists, are unable to feel the effects of marijuana the first, second, third, and even fifth time they smoke!"

Try taking Bong rips next time, you'll get high as a kite

[Blaze_It_Up420]

Took me about 3 times.

[MrBubbles]

for the first few times i smoked out i didn't feel anything at all, but then again i was robo trippin hardcore for most of that time, so the pot was never able to overtake the dxm high. then i finally got high.
even though id smoked a couple times, the first time i truly felt it was the first time I ever cleared a bong, and its all been a fun ride fro mthere on out

I got really really really damn high my first time, try taking bong rips next time... once you get it it's totally worth it. I need to go smoke more

[yeahIsmoke05]

i didnt inhale right at all for my first whole 20 piece...or atleast a good part of it, i was mad....maybe you smoke too much, Trainwreck is a crazy ass good strain, one or two hits and i wuold be done....
