Strains To Try For Beginner

Most strains are fine, just try to to go for things like "Gorilla Kush" that is some heavy stuff. But why not try to smoke from both and see which one you prefer? There is no bad strain.

I personally for beginners I would recommend getting a GLASS pipe for your first piece. It's much easier then rolling a joint or blunt.

 

I agree with above poster in his saying that no strain is bad, but take it easy if it's sativa dominant. Also, cannabis does have a high - you'll feel sensations you'll like esp. If it's indica dominant.

Erowid reports with stars beside them can describe the feelings and I recommend "the experience" if you want to get super high and "scientifically documented report" for description of very high.

Get a glass pipe, take comfortable hits, and keep some water beside you for coughing and cottonmouth. A mistake beginners sometimes make is smoking when they haven't eaten for a long time, causing a bad reaction because of low blood sugar. Don't do this.

Have fun, bro.

 

I meant not to try "Gorillia Kush".
 
Untill you are used to being high, then I would recommend a higher THC content strain.

 

You do realize that even if you go to a legal state and smoke, when you come back and (if you) get a drug test, you'll lose your job still

Glass pipe...note weed is stronger now a days. Take a hit and sit. Work with your tolerance

Take it easy your first time! You don't want to get to high and start freaking out.

I say buy a prerolled joint and smoke half. Wait a couple minutes see how you feel and decide if you wanna get higher.

If you ever smoked before, then go nuts when your there lol. I've always wanted to try blue dream

 

might wanna try the lower THC level shit i guess

 

@[member="NoobHillbilly"] It's nice to hear as a 49 year old man you are diving head first into the wonderful world of cannabis.  I hope what I post will be of help to you.
 
If possible I HIGHLY urge you to try vaporizing as opposed to tradition combustion.  The high is much "cleaner" in my opinion and the flavors you will experience while vaporizing are unrivaled.  Quite frankly, SMOKE TASTES LIKE SHIT, no matter how tasty the strain might be, vapor will always taste better.  Not to mention it's much healthier. This might be a nice option if you have the plan to continue toking in the future.    Portable vaporizers aren't cheap though.  I would recommend looking into the Arizer Solo.  Magic Flight Launch Box is also another good option but might not be right for you since there is a lot of debate from the community as to it's learning curve and seeing that you are a newbie it might not be the best.  As you can tell I don't burn so I am biased.
 
A few things to consider.  Some strains of cannabis can actually have a racy effect which will prevent you from easily falling asleep for a few hours after ingesting..... at least for me.  You also mentioned you want to be sharp for the conference at 8:30 the next morning.  If highly medicated the night before I find it extra hard to get out of bed early.... but that could be just me.  Do you only have one night of smoking? 
 
I suggest looking for indica dominant strains since you are looking for a relaxing contemplative high.  You also might want to consider looking for something lower strength.  The shit is strong these days and over medicating can be quite the un enjoyable experience.  Wherever you are buying your herbs from I would simply tell them the same things you have told us.  Most likely they would be glad to help you find something right for you.

Like the guy said above, blue cheese is a great indica to try. I'd also recommend smoking a joint first time as I find they are more of a slower creep compared to a big bong rip, not to mention more sociable.

 

Probably within 30 mins. If you doing feel it then, smoke a bit.

 

I would go for a sativa dom. strain as it will allow you to function better, you wont have that 'couch locked' feeling.  As for your conference, I would play it safe, but you could easily smoke all morning, stop at lunch and just get a little caffeine in your system and you should be fine. 
 
Smoking daily for 5+ years

 

If cost isn't an issue, get a volcano vaporizer....
 
Or a bong... or both.

 

Cannabis high is pretty much instantaneous. The high will build tho

 

If you have never smoked, you are not going to get any of the medical benefits that come along with prolonged use. Your first few highs are going to be crazy and out of control. There isn't really any medical benefit to it until you get a tolerance, but everyone's first time is different. Mine was a trip.
