Hey, I'm new to this forum. And also new to smoking... I started about a month ago, but every time i smoke I dont get high sometimes just a pretty bad headache... I've heard of not getting high the first time before but Ive smoked quite a bit and its always the same shit... I would appreciate it if someone could tell whats up or what to do... thanks =)
There are 2 possible answers here: A) You're getting ripped off and you are smoking catnip, thus the headache. Check some of the pictures of weed on this forum. Does what you're smoking look anything like that? B) You're not doing it right. If this is the case, make sure you actually inhale the smoke and don't jsut hold it in yer mouth. Definitely hold your hits for a good amount of time. you don't need to do anything ridiculous though, 7-12 seconds is plenty. Also don't smoke out of ghetto ass pipes made out of random stuff. it's bad for you.
smoke till it hits ya i had the same problem untill i went and chilled with some frends and none of us where getting high (yes i am shure it was weed) and we smoked and smoked and smoked till we were soooo fucking high .. it took 3 grams but DAMNNNNNNNNN it was fucking worht it ..since then i get high everytime ..... i smoke weed
Well what I've smoked isnt cat nip... And im pretty sure I do inhale it since I usually end up coughing up a fuckin storm afterwards ...But me and my buddies smoke it out of home-made shit =/ so I guess I'll head down to the flea market this weekend and get sumthin... Any ideas on whats best for a beginner smoker? By the way thanks =)
The best thing you could do is to go to a headshop and get yourself a small pipe that you can transport easily. It'll work correctly and be healthier than smoking out of a can or whatever it is that's giving you a headache. Also, take hits that are sensible so you don't cough so much. Some people say coughing makes you higher, but I think taking an optimal hit and holding it normally is the best way.
Either get a small [metal] pipe (inexpensive, and they won't break), or if you already know how to roll or have a friend who does, get some papers. If you smoke a joint to yourself, and still don't get high... then I'unno man. If you're sure it's really weed, then that's pretty odd. My biggest advice though, is find one of your friends or someone you know who's already an experienced smoker, and go to their crib and chill for awhile. Tell them you'll pitch in some money if they promise to actually get you high. Maybe they'll have some good weed, or a nice'n'big bong that will for sure get you high. At least then, if you're doing something wrong like not inhaling properly, they can catch it and tell you what you're doing wrong and how to fix it. Oh, and as far as getting headaches? Make sure you take all the stems and seeds (ESPECIALLY seeds) out of your weed. Smoking either of those are notorious for giving headaches. A little bit of stem as a filler or to hold a nug together isn't all that bad, but a lot of it can be just as bad as a seed.
Dude, you might be fighting the high. In other words, if you don't relax and just go with the high you won't seem to feel that much. The effects are subtle. So...watch some tv, listen to some music, or watch a sunset go down while high...if you're just sitting in your garage, its gonna be boring and so it might seem like your not high.
