Tried to give pot a chance, but continual weird experiences

[newtosmoking]

So say I've smoked about three times. Twice from a bong, once from a bowl. And it's weird, because the experience I have smoking pot is totally different from how it is portrayed in entertainment/what others describe. People brush pot off as being so harmless and fun, so I was really surprised when I freaked the first time I smoked it.

I can tell when it hits me, because first I get a sense of everything "flipping" (ex. if a chair was on the right side of the room, I suddenly feel like it's on the left). At that point it's like my existence splits in two, and now I'm in the "high world" instead of the "real world." Everything feels so dream-like, to the point where I constantly question if I am hallucinating (even though I'm not). I begin to mishear and misinterpret things people say, thinking they are all talking and laughing about how weird I am when I'm high. And then I start to question their motives for doing and saying things in the "real world," too, and I start to wonder if it's the real world that is a dream and the high world that is real...

I get nervous and feel like I'm going to go crazy any second.

The first time I got high, I kept talking about how it felt like a dream, how I must be in a movie or a story, and how everyone was "characters" and how each event was like a scene. How it was like a choose your own adventure, and I didn't know who to trust or where to go. I felt like if I did or said the wrong thing, something terrible would happen, probably because I thought I was hallucinating and that for all I knew I was wandering in a field somewhere imagining everything. I ended up just telling myself that if I closed my eyes and just sat still, it would all be over. My heart was pounding the whole time, going so fast, like a heart attack. All of this really freaked out my friends, of course.

The second and third times the same feelings repeated themselves, but I knew that everything that was happening was real because I knew what to expect. Because I had to be overly calm to keep myself from freaking out, everyone just thinks pot just makes me really relaxed and chill.

Does THC just have a weird effect on me? Does it have a similar effect on anyone else? I did it so many times because I thought it must have been the pot that was strange, maybe laced with something, or, I don't know...but now I think I am probably going to give up on it if this is what it's like to get high...

No, man. Honestly I was scared shitless the first time I smoked, now I toke up like two to three times a day and it just relaxes me sooo much. The first few times, I agree, everything seems very dream like and other-world live, but after a while it just gets great.

Just calm down and enjoy the high don't try to fight it off.

1st time getting high reminded me of a shitty internet video from the way I saw things.

Smoking pot the 1st time was the shit back in sophmore year in High School just me and my friends since elementary school walked home from high school to my buddy's apartment where his mom wasn't home.

So my buddies went in the apartment to make a tinny never again after that, I remember thinking this isn't a good idea people said I might freak out or get extremeley paranoid. My buddy was educating me about the plant before we smoked. After 15-20 minutes, I was like fuck it lets smoke this green.

So we go to this shady spot, near this electrical thing that gave power to the entire apartment. My buddy starts packing the tinny and the 1st hit felt soo wrong like I am doing something I'd regret maybe it was in a tinny but the taste of weed was very harsh at the time. After the 2 1st two hits, I was like yea I like how this makes ya feel give me another hit, for some reason my buddy took 4ever to pack the next one or at least thats how it felt.

I just remember just being extremley goofy and loud, no way of controlling it. We would also just go on these walks to mcdonalds or the shopping center good times. People would just mess with me, and I remember getting picked from my mom making sure I didn't smell like pot.

lmao the first time i got high i would constantly repeat myself because it was my first time and not my friends and i would just constitantly say "dude i feel like im in a dream" hah i thought it was awesome but i mean u just get used to it but still to this day im not "relaxed" if im around a group of funny ppl i just laugh my ass off and im so loud lol idk just keep doin it things will blend

[lawlnub]

I KNOW it's easier said than done, but just try to settle down, Not think about all the effects, and just go with it. Also, I was a bit scared the first few times I got high, but then i waited a year and I loved it. You might need to wait a bit if your not ready.

You must also take into consideration there are 3 types of highs. It sounds to me like
you are smoking sativa which is the psychedelic head high. Here is some info, you
should read.
Indica High- Gives a feeling of having all your energy completely drained, leaving you tired and
relaxed. Referred to as the "couch lock high" or "body high" because you can sit in front of the tv
for hours starring off into space.

Sativa High-Gives a very energetic, head based, almost psychedelic high.
Creativity with art and/or music can be experienced as it stimulates brain activity.

Hybrid High- A combination of both highs which are relative to strain ratio,
mostly you get the best of both worlds with a hybrid, a little body high and a little head high.

I would recommend smoking indica next time, as its less of a trippy high and more of
a relaxed high, very enjoyable if you are new to smoking.

hey man that sounds like some times that I used to have when everything seemed almost as if I was tripping, but just tell yourself its some bud and you will start to mellow out as the high goes on, if I was you the next time that you blaze up you should just take a rip or two and chill and then continue from there so you can start to get used to the feeling of getting high, cause enjoy these times I remember the first times I blazed up...I was on the floor uncontrollably laughing...good fucking times! have fun and hope it goes better for you

The first time one of my good friends got high, he said he saw demons and got transported to hell. Now he smokes every day with me.

It's normal for the first few times to be extremely intense. Just smoke some more and get used to it, and you will love it.

Haha. I tried sativa the first time I smoked, and my previous perceptions about weed were totally changed.

My friend and I smoked 3 bowls of chronic one night and this was like his third or fourth time smoking, so he fucking freaked. He got all pale, showed no emotion, and told me he thought he had to tell himself to keep breathing. Since then, he has only smoked once, and it was just one hit off a bowl. I keep trying to tell him that he just smoked too much and should try it again, but he claims it's "not his thing".

[Dan Gleesac]

that same shit happened to me....i was told that feelings got something to do with lowering blood pressure? but i dont know anything about that so im not sayin its true...those things happen you just gotta push through it and enjoy it because after a while you want that feeling of getting really really really blazed again....

[k2696]

its called CRACK and i dotn think ur parents want u hangin with that crowd bra....



jk but yea i guesss u should start drinking alot or smoking fags cause reefer aint for u

[This Dude]

Herb definitely isn't for everybody... Certain types of people do have bad experiences from it. It's the same for every drug.

But you shouldn't try to worry so much. It's impossible to OD or anything like that. And don't expect it to be anything that it's not.

Drugs were put on this earth so that we can escape reality for a short period of time. If you can't handle that then don't smoke.

i wish i got that high nowadays...

[phailurism]

sometimes that happens to me when my tolerance is low. after a couple days, the high is way more chill.
