yup.. that's exactly what i was thinking.. then i thought "wait, why would ANYONE do heroin?"

[ston3rf4g]

many possible problems:

1) it was your first time and you didn't get high, most people don't get high their first time

2) the weed wasn't broken up enough (whch i think is unlikely). make sure you break it up into small pieces

3) you weren't inhaling when you were lighting. you have to do both of these simultaneously. inhale while you light to pull the flame onto the weed and pull the smoke into your lungs

4) you weren't holding the carb down while you were inhaling and in effect you were breathing a lot of normal air through the carb/hole instead of through the burning weed.

You do understand that just because the bowl is black doesn't mean it's done? Right?

The bowl is only "cashed" (finished; done; no longer smokable) when what is remaining is a gray/white ash that has no structure to it at all. You should be able to make it turn into nothing with just a slight touch.

After you take your mouth off the pipe, suck in more air, pushing the smoke into your lungs. When I was new to smoking I found I got a lot higher that way. "Dank" is just a general term for good weed.

before we can tell you if it was a good price, you need to tell us where you are from. in socal, you normally get 1g for 20 bucks. in norcal, you get 2g for 20 bucks. I miss buying weed in santa cruz.

ok i may live on the other side of the country and may have never been to california, but I can tell you there is no way in hell 1g of dank costs 20$.

i'd say the average nationwide price for 1g of dank is 15$

i still havent got high, maybe because i smoked 1/4g last night, then 1/4 in morning, and 1/4 toninght. should i next time smoke a whole gram at once.

by the way ive heard weed often refered to as dope, but i did weed and i called it dope

No you would feel .25g I bet if you have absolutely no tolerance. I've been smoking daily for a year or so and I can feel some effects after .3 of bud, and it's not really "dank".

yeah, i agree with this...

so here's the thing with new tokers... they either try by themselves, or are smoking with someone just trying to get high... you need to find someone to smoke with you can trust will teach you the ropes... the interwebs won't get you the knowledge you need grasshopper.

but, to put my 2 cents in, i'd say this:

get a real piece, or make a better tool (gravity, bubbler, etc just search on this forum).

make sure to actually inhale deep, get a lot of smoke inhaled and hold it. you don't have to hold forever, you'll get lightheaded more than high and get a nasty headache.

smoke until you get high - weed is a drug that you [usually] feel immediately (unless someone specifically tells you something is creeper, but that's kinda old school these days - most people like indicas and sativas which are more instantaneous). if you're not getting high, then you're doing it wrong (or a more unlikely scenario of it not being decent buds)

If you can, post some pics of your stash so we can tell you if it's really dank, and whether or not your "friends" are hooking you up or gyping you.

have fun!

Absolutely. If someone learned how to smoke from the internet, then thats pretty damn funny. Make sure you inhale ftw. Make sure it burns your throat, then hold it, then let it out. Watch a friend smoke.

Well your supposed to hold your finger on the carb while you inhale.
Also you should invest in a little glass or metal pipe, if youve got some dank bud you shouldnt be using an apple
