1st time smoker, got questions.

[Bob555]

Man, looking at clouds was so fucking cool. It would take me 1 second to see something perfectly cear in EVERY cloud. While me and my friends were checking out clouds, some old man on his bike with a really big box(1.5mx.5mx.25m) on his back came to see us. He said he didn't want to disturb us, walked next to my friend, took some kind of metal tube that was hidden, walked away, put it in his box, put his box on his back somehow, and then went away on his bike. Hehehe.

Also, me and one of my friends walked to my other friends girlfriend's house(lol) and he tried to open the door but it was locked. I also tried, but it was looked. We knocked on the door, rang, nothing. So we waited about 10 minutes and finally decided to search for a window. We found one, but we also found out the door wasn't locked.

Go out and buy a pack of cigarettes. Use that to practice. That's how I teach my friends who want to smoke for the first time. Most think they know how to inhale, but they only say "OH! now I got it" after they cough like shit from one puff of tobacco. You will understand when you try... the smoke has to go into your lungs and stay there. Not your stomach, not your mouth and don't exhale from your nose. People seem to do that subconciously.

It's pretty funny how your username is "inhale".

But I'm sure I inhale correctly. I keep inhaling from the pipe and the pot turns red because of this and I do it for around 10 seconds, then exhale after 2-4 seconds. I can't imagine doing it some other way.

[formula]

Do you suck into your mouth or suck straight into your lungs? My best advice is to keep sucking and sucking untill you feel like your absolutly about to cough, then hand the pipe to someone else so you dont kick the bowl or anything and cough your lungs out. Keep doing that and i garuntee you will be fucked up.

Just because it's turning red doesn't neccasarily mean you're inhaling. To be sure, after you take a hit, stop hitting the pipe and leave the smoke in your mouth, and then just take a breath of air into your lungs just like you would normally breath.

dude, I've had that thing where it lasts for 3 days... the thc is still in your system, and while you're not actually high, it kinda puts a fogger on the world.... real weird....

[inhale]

As the post above says, it doesn't mean you're inhaling properly if your thing turns red. I didn't inhale properly my first time and just felt light headed. Same with cigarettes. Hold the smoke in for 7 seconds. Do you cough? Inhale A BIG hit and you should cough. If you do, then it's going into your lungs.

I'll try to explain it in detail but it's best to practice with tobacco so you don't waste Marijuana. Such on your joint/mouth piece and stop right when you think you can only hold a little more in your lungs. Now, open your lips and inhale as much AIR as you can. This will force the smoke into your lungs. Now close your lips and hold your nose shut and don't laugh/cough/sneeze. Just wait for seven seconds and then exhale.

The first time I took a bong hit, there was so much smoke that I felt like my lungs just ripped into little pieces. They burned throughout my whole high. It was great. I say to use tobacco because the smoke is harsh and nasty, you will def feel if it's going down or not.

Haha, I remember once I was smoking a bowl of what was supposed to be good shit. I was getting ready for work, and I wasn't feeling anything so I smoked another bowl, and another thinking I got ripped off with some bad weed (I didn't, and still don't know much about good weed..haha)

Ten minutes later, I'm getting into my car when it starts to finally kick in. Luckily, the drive to work is literally five minutes, so I took it fairly easy.. then I started talking about my car's tuned exhaust. I don't remember much, but I do remember I kept yelling ":Shut the fuck up Muffy (Muffler), you're giving me a damn head ache with your bitching."

That was the day I learned not to keep smoking up before work.

[Oregonian_Hippy]

man i feel lucky, i got high off my second time....and ya you'll know when your high, but to inhale it you have to suck it into your mouth first then inhale, unless its a joint whereas you just suck it straight into your lungs......first time i got high i was coughing like a mofo, ran into the bathroom feeling like i was going to hurl, sitting next to the toilet for what felt like a eternity in some other world where i couldnt fix my mind onto even one thought process......my first was intense as hell

[jfeezy]

Yeah dude, if you think your high but your not sure... Your probably not high. The first time I smoked weed it was after school one day of my Junior Year. I had always been homies with some Stoner kids, I just never indulged in their activities, but I was feeling like shit and figured it might help. I took 4 hits off some Detroit Skunk Chronic and felt a little bit weird, but nothing major. 4 or 5 days later I was hanging out with the same kids, and one of them had some Good Garden. They smoked 1 bowl with me (I got like 5 hits) and pretty soon after I could not stop laughing. The kid who's house I was at was trying to get me to smoke more and told me I wasn't high... but I knew I was. It was the greatest feeling ever, I was just cracking up about nothing. Then my friend told me to look something up in the booklet for the Need for Speed game we were playing. I tried to concentrate on the words but they were going in and out of focus and this even made me crack up. Then I tried playing the game and it was WAY TOO FAST for me to comprehend. The road on the game looked like it was moving at Warp Speed and I couldn't handle it. The high lasted for about 3 hours and then I came down pretty hard for another hour or two after that.

as for the breathing, this is how i teach my friends:

Get a straw and a cup of water. First, tell the person to breath throught the straw, then tell them to drink a sip of water through the straw. They should notice they are two different types of inhales; mouth inhale (the sip of water), and the "good" inhale ( taking a breathe through the straw).

Apply this to a bowl, and you should be good to go

[capecoder]

the way i use to think about it is imagine you're about to go underwater and take the biggest breath you can. You can feel your lungs opening up. If you don't, your probably not inhaling right.

[Bone Thugs]

Yea, it took me like 4 times to get high for my first time and then even when I did get high it was hard to even tell how high I was. Its hard to tell at first but after 5 or 6 times os smokin you should have it down. But practice makes perfect so keep trying and have as much fun as possible. I look back now and discovering weed wit my friends was def a great time in my life. Have Fun MAN

[PlainShane]

Niiiiice spoon ya got there, beautiful.

Um well no, that sounds like placebo. I dunno about not getting high from smoking, never happened to me. I have always been able to get high, my first time it took only 2 hits before I felt something odd happen to my nerves. hehe. Take in as much as you can, take in a quick breath of fresh air, hold it all in till it burns, release and repeat

what if you take a massive mouth hit and breath it in all at once? hmm.. better or worse then taking a normal hit? i'm gonna have to try it. ah and you put the concept of mouth hits and lung hits perfectly. rep.

i'd say every single person can get high for the first time, if you toke right, grab a bong, and aim for 30 bong rips... haha you'd be too baked to do that much on your first try probably.

and....Bob555... welcome to mary jane's world, enjoy your stay.
