New Smoker

Discussion in 'Beginner Cannabis Consumption & Tips' started by JavonWil94, Sep 4, 2012.

  1. After being in high school without ANY desire to smoke, for some reason after I graduated, I decided I wanted to try it. If I do like it, I don't wanna be a pothead, but more of an occasional smoker. I joined this forum for tips and insight on the herb!
     
  2. What kind of tips/insight?

    Some basic, general knowledge:

    - Use in moderation, prioritize, and be responsible.
    - Know your state's law on marijuana.
    - Know your weight and prices.
    - Break only one rule at a time.
    - Use common sense and be flexible.
    - Be humble.
     
  3. If you don't want to be a pothead I would recommend only chiefin on fridays and saturdays and if you have never smoked before I would recommend finding friends or maybe even someone in your family that smokes. Also I would recommend taking it slow don't think you can keep up with other stoners right away because you can't lol. Also start with something simple like a joint or a bowl I wouldn't recommend a bong to a newbie. Last but not least you might not get high your first time but don't think it won't get better because it does :smoke:
     
  4. Tips like, the best blunts to use, different strains, etc.
     

  5. bahaha in that case white owls for blunts, zig zags/ raws for papers and as for strains you gotta find one you like personally I like sour diesel and blue cheese
     
  6. I was the same way as you lol. I just wanted to see what it felt like, now I'm an everyday toker :D you'll probably find that it helps you with things. Anyways, I was by myself when I started so I pretty much showed myself the ropes...but just don't do it too often and don't let it take over your life and you'll be good.
     
  7. Keep in mind, unless you're buying from a dispensary or a grower who gets legitimate strains, more likely than not, the strain name is just that- a name.
     
  8. cool now get out

    just buy a glass pipe (10-20$), a gram(10$ mids 15-20 dank) Personally I get 10$ dank g's but thats because i got a hookup. You also want to have someone to smoke with for your first few times that is knowledgeable about it because you will have lots of confusion lol. For joints buy RAWs or anything you can get. Zig-zags are shit in my opinion.
    And you will start off doing it occasionally but will end up being a daily smoker;) its not a bad thing but it seems to be not a good thing at first. Don't worry it's not a REAL drug.
     

  10. you gotta be kidding I can name hundreds of shittier papers

    If you want to get most out of your high don't use papers. Don't get me wrong blunts and joints are very good. You should use a good small pipe are good for beginners, gradually moving up to a bong if your ready. Basically what you need to know about strains are

    Indica's are more of a body high good for sleeping, pain, insomnia, weight gain, etc...

    Sativa's are more of a "fun high" it goes right in your head and makes you giggly and happy. Sativa's are good if you want more energy and want to hang out with friends and what not.

    Also for your first smoke, this smoke is probably going to be the best high of your life nothing can match the first toke EVER so you'll want to be in a relaxed atmosphere because paranoia might kick in and you don't want that to happen.
    :smoke:

    Welcome to the good life my man you won't regret it
     
  12. Tips and insight:

    - You probably wont get 'high' from your first smoking session.

    - When starting out, always wait 5-10 minutes after each hit so you can tell how your body is reacting to it. Don't try to rush in or you might feel a bit sick later on.

    - Have plenty of water or other (preferably non alcoholic) drinks readily available. It's pretty common to get thirsty, or 'cotton mouth', when smoking weed. Mixing alcohol with cannabis isn't recommended until your mind and body is more familiar with the sensations of smoking weed.

    - Cannabis is a 'soft drug', but that doesn't mean it's effects are weak. Be mentally ready to enjoy your trip by understanding the effects you will likely experience and knowing they are perfectly normal. Some of these being:

    -Extreme muscle relaxation.
    -Munchies.
    -Cotton mouth.
    -Fast heartbeat.
    -A feeling of intoxication similar in some ways to being drunk and tired.
    -Feeling suddenly sleepy, or a desire to stay sitting down (couch lock).
    -Coughing and a dry throat (keep drinking that water!)
    -A sudden overwhelming desire to play Mario Kart with your friends.

    So just be responsible, have fun and enjoy the ride!
     
  13. definitely take it slow. I started taking to many hits my first time expecting to feel the effects right away and you don't want it to hit you all at once when its your first time. I would recommend using a glass pipe or joint papers. pipes are cheap at your local head shop usually 10-15 dollars for one that will last your years if not forever. if you decide to use papers usually all gas stations sell them for a dollar or 2. I would also recommend being somewhere you feel safe and secure like your house or backyard. bring some music because music is enhanced 100x when your high. and try not to smoke at night when its your first time. when you get paranoid it can be kind of scarey. once I imagined a huge gorilla in my dark backyard and literally for a second thought there was really one there lol. just relax and have a good time man. good luck.
     
  14. I don't know about the depth these responses have been getting into...
    It isn't a big deal man, just inhale, exhale, and she'll take it from there, ya know?

    It's not some scary thing to worry about that you're going to do something wrong with.
    Blades lets not overwhelm this guy, I'd be intimidated with the info/ tips given even if we all know you're trying to help a bud out. Last thing you want is for a rookie to be anxious to a bad point, expecting too much or too little, thoughts swirling around trying to remember what to do and not to do.

    Welcome to the club, it's a wonderful perfect thing.
     
  15. I remember when I said id never be a stoner but that changed lol. Get a glass bong and skip all the aluminum, plastic fake bong shit. Use Raw papers . Not a blunt you must got me mixed up with chip cuz dis spitta zig zag a whole zip up
