Legitly High or Contact High?

well if you smoked then it's legit...

 

there is a better chance of it being legit rather than contact

also are you smoking correctly? (pulling the smoke into your lungs, not your mouth)

not doubting you, just tryin to help

and congrats on the first high

 

well there isn't that much too it...

breathe deep
seek peace

hold your hits for 3-5 seconds (anyone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong), that's all the THC you're gonna get.

 

this^

just make sure ur taking a breath that gets it to the lungs... tht was my mistake when first smoking, not inhaling...

happy toking

 

it takes a couple times (2-3) smoking before you actually feel it to where you notice it. its weird but it just works like that... unless of course you smoke an ungodly amount, then no matter what your experience youre pretty much gone.

 

I've been meaning to address this for a while. What do people generally mean when they say contact high?

If you mean the term literally and think you can get high from being in contact with people who are.... that's impossible. I suppose you could have a placebo high because everyone around you is stoned... but that seems sort of unlikely to me.

You could potentially get high from being in a vehicle while it is hotboxed even if you don't take a hit. If you inhale THC-containing smoke you will get high... and it will be no different from smoking... so what's the point of the phrase "contact high"?

If someone has some other meaning please do tell.

 

Yeh some people don't get high their first time, it might be because you are not inhaling correctly.

This is what i tell all my friends the first time they smoke, fill you lungs up like 40% then let go of the carb, breath in another 40% and with your last breath of air open your mouth wide and draw in a lot of air really fast (like your gasping for air after you went swimming or something) this makes sure all of the smoke gets pushed down into your lungs, also hold hit in for like 8 seconds. Do this and it is almost a guaranteed high.

You will most likely cough up a lung because you are not sued to having smoke in your lungs but it will get better as you go.

Have fun!!

 

being WAY TO stoned is over rated.

id rather be able to hold a convo

 

This ^^^

 

unless you smoke a shit ton your first time your not going to get much more than maybe the propensity to smile at people a little more than normal, it took me till my second time till i got fucked, but i know other people who it had taken longer, probably because they werent inhaling right.

pull deep, hold 3-5 and chill.

 

i've been smoking like 4 years now, just about everyday. when i smoke i do the 40/40/20 as well. take a good hit with the carb covered, then release carb and breath in, (releasing the carb allows air through the pipe, which will cool the smoke as well) then open your mouth and get a good blast of air to shoot the smoke down your windpipe. the longer you hold it, the more the smoke expands, as well as the capilaries of your lungs, allowing more thc to enter your system. but anyways i've always though a contact high was from inhaling second hand pot smoke, and getting a buzz without actually hitting a pipe. like stated above, if you breath in smoke with thc in it you will feel different!

 

By contact high, do you mean a placebo effect?

If you inhaled marijuana smoke directly from a pipe, you were probably high.

 

3-5 seconds is just when your absorbtion peaks
the longer u hold it in the better tho
and its always funner smoking with people if you got high, you got high dont question the herb. lol

 

False.

 

with friends I tend not to feel high unless I smoke a whole joint to the face, or like 3 bowls.

I stay social and watch tv and usually don't feel much. Try toking solo and sitting in your car

listening to you fave music, youll feel it.

 

The bolded is what I always thought a 'contact high' was...like being in a room or something with people who are smoking while you are not...breathing the air in the room while not actually hitting the joint, pipe, or whatever, gets you a 'contact buzz'

We had a friend we used to do this to and he would bitch like crazy....he didn't smoke, but we would give him a ride home or wherever, and we would make him sit in the middle (we had a pickup), and we would smoke passing it back and forth across him...when we would get to our destination, he would always whine about it..."You sons a bitches gave me a contact buzz...Damn you!" LOL

 

Who complains about getting buzzed off someone else's marijuana for FREE!?
