My first toke. Ever.

Hello guys and girls.

Last friday i had my first green experience, with some snicklefritz weed that
i got from a good friend of mine.

It was around 1.7grams or something like that. Not much, but enough for me anyways, as i figured im a newb to this etc.

So, last friday i stuffed around 0.2 - 0.3grams of weed together with some fine tobacco in a pipe of mine. Went outside for a walk, and toked once every five minutes or something like that. Was out for about 25mins.

I toked quite fast before going inside, so nothing would go to waste.

After 30 mins i started to feel really relaxed, but then i suddenly felt
"occward", i didnt pay attention to things my gf talked about, and i was feeling overall woozy. Which is kinda good

BUT, my heart started to race really fast, and i felt varm and suddenly cold, and i even got a bit shaky (not much but a little, just like when its nippy outside).

This made me go a little paranoid, and i was kinda afraid that i would pass out, die or whatever.. i've never felt this kind of "high" before, and i guess i reacted unfavorably to the buzz so to speak, because some minor anxiety-attack came right in the middle.

After 45mins-1hr i felt more relaxed though, and i felt quite good actually.
Then after a little brief moment i decided to go and shop some candy.
Couldn't help myself to be quite frank

So that was my first high.. im being honest when i say that im a little worried for my next toking-session due to my minor anxiety-attack.. it wasnt a pleasent feeling there and then, but the racing heart, the cold-feeling and woozyness wore of after 30mins approx.

Anyone knows why i experienced this?
Well it was my first time, i guess i made up expectations and was thrilled at the same time due to the fact that this was a "drug", and the high feeling was/is very new for me.

Maybe i should go easier on the toking next time? Any tips?

The weed i bought is a little sticky (and compressed) but it worked out fine with a knife as cutting-tool and it burned quite well - mixed with tobacco
from cigarettes.

So i dont think the weed is to blame.. ?

Appreciate all replys, huge thanks in advance

 

Thanks for the great feedback.

I'll try to use pure weed next time i smoke.
I will also consider using a joint istead of my pipe, always fancied smoking
a good fat cone/joint of smellicious weed.

How do you guys recommend i toke it up? In what rate?
I'm just a tad frightened that i'd might smoke too much to quickly, and that this will
fuck me up, literally.

When you mention it, i dont think i really could identify the feeling i got as "a high".
Was more like a small buzz, with dizzyness and minor nausea - accompanied with the racing heart and cold feeling that i experienced.
This made me go (as i said) a little paranoid and triggered my minor panic-attack.

I wasn't smoking with someone who had the experience either, was just me and my gf, and she has never tried it. So i just had to lay down for a while and i felt anxious and not very well at all, for that small period of time.

So the tobacco mixture is something i should try to avoid? Ive heard it can interfere with the "high" earlier, but then again i was afraid i'd get too baked if i smoked the grass alone. It doesnt seem to burn that well either, its kinda wet.. not very, but ive tried to
twist it apart with my fingertips, and that seemed to be hard. So i had to use a knife.

Ive also had a past with anxiety and panic-attacks when i was younger, not so much now anymore though. Used medication for this for like 5 months back in '05.

I can go into detail how i felt after smoking: (keep in mind this was around 0.2 - 0.3grams of weed mixed with tobacco) - in a timelapse:

1. The feeling of getting varm, a little more relaxed
2. Getting a little dizzy, couldnt focus straight
3. Getting cold, racing heart, anxiety starts to interfere
4. Afraid of falling asleep, got sleepy, my eyelids got heavy
5. Starting to feel more relaxed again and was urging for snacks, candy

But having this said, i would also like to mention that i really tried to "go with it"
and i told myself that it wasnt a big deal, just a panic-attack.
I know that a racing heart and change is blodpressure are common effects
of smoking, and this could also explain my feeling of cold.

Aside of this i was, like i said very anxious and spooked out for a while,
i guess this just fueled the feelings i already was having, making it worse (in my case)

Ive never been high before, so i didnt really know how to "notice" the high once it hit me, or how it should feel. So i cant really say either yes or no to me being high that night. Really not sure.

Ill try to smoke some more soon though, hopefully itll be better (?) hehe.
Got around 1,2 - 1,3grams of weed left, should be enough.

 

Thanks a bunch for all the feedback, it really eases my mind!

I also believe that i had some anxiety-issues when i smoked last friday, MOSTLY
because i actually was kinda nervous about how my body and mind would respond to
THC, and in general i was thinking like "well now i've taken a few hits, i hope i wont get superduper fucked up because of this, or get ill sideeffects" etc.

Its good to see that there are other newbeginners experiencing the same stuff,
and im almost certain that my anxiety was triggered by myself, especially when i
started to feel a little uncomfortable.

Like you guys say, next time ill toke (should be quite soon) i will surely
sit down, relax and try to easy my mind and just chill out.
Smoking in a stressed state of mind is probably not a good idea, especially
for a newbie.

Im dl'ing The Union now, love documentaries, especially about weed.
Ill watch it tonight for sure.

Ill also try and take a couple of hits, then wait a little while before smoking more, to
see if i achieve the desired high, or if i should toke some more to get more baked.

Good tips about keeping the bloodsugar up aswell, i felt like a friggin diabetic to be honest, i went cold, i got this "numb" feeling. Most likely because i didnt eat at all before or during the smoking-session i had at that time.

So, i should smoke pure weed, not mixed with tobacco..
And i should probably just take one or two tokes and then chill out for a while to
see what happens, before i do any more? Sounds wise to me, as i think i overdid the toking quite a bit last time.. i also kept my breath for like 5-6 seconds each time i toked, to be sure i "got high". But i guess 1-2 seconds is more then enough in general?

Thanks again for all the good support, really really appreciate it!

 

Hehe yeah, i'd might consider buying a glass-pipe or something.
Right now i use a "gandalf" looking pipe, shaped like the one he uses in the LOTR movies, just not as long. Its a wooden pipe.

Thanks

I think i'd go with a glasspipe for next time, and perhaps a joint.

And then ill cross fingers and toes, and try to avoid an unpleasant high, and otherwise try to get a GOOD buzzy high.

Ill put all you guys' advices into action next time im going to toke, for real.

I just hope that the weed will burn properly.. its kinda sticky and seems like its a "little" hard
to get it to light up properly without added tobacco. But i will surely give it a hearty try.
How much would you guys recommend me to add into the bowl/joint?

 

Last time i used like 0.2 - 0.3grams, this isnt enough to fill a joint though.
But a pipe does the trick i guess.. just dont know how much i should put in.

Anyway, its recommended to just take a hit or two and then chill for a while - to see how things go?

 

Okay thanks for the tips

Any recommendations concerning online shops selling pipes etc?
And accessories?

I live in Norway, but i can gladly wait a week or two for delivery if the stuff is good
