Didn't Like The High

[lbj123]

I got high for the first time ever yesterday, and I must say I didn't like it. I felt waaaaay too out of it. Does the intensity decrease or does the high feel more enjoyable after I do it more often? Did you enjoy your first time being high?

Any advice?

[129218]

yes unfortunatley it does. i enjoyed my first time being high. id love to go back to that first time, it was incredible.

different strains have different effects as well from what you described your high as being id say you had some indica. sativa highs are more of a head high while indicas are more of a couch lock high.

How much did you smoke?

[lazy smoker7]

I enjoyed it my first time being high. Also I have had these unenjoyable times also but this just happens when i way over doo it by consuming way to much weed by eating. Anyways yes the more you smoke the intensity decreases and also the more u smoke the more mental tollerance u get. So yea i definately say try again but try it in a place were u feal safe and were u can have some good tunes and just smoke. Relax. SO yea just try to smoke a lil less next time and go by how u feal. may thc bless u :jointsmile:

I just took 3 hits. Also, we mixed something called "Canadian Gold" with something that someone else had so maybe mixing strains had something to do with it?

[jonlem88]

No, I mean the potency of what u had has to do with it. Also do the age old way of not getting to high. Take a hit wait 5-7 min, take another, repeat until desired effect is achieved, when you start going down, smoke a cig or take another hit, unless your ready to go down of course. I smoke at night and enjoy my high then go to sleep.

do you have any idea what you were smoking? (there are three main grades... schwagg, mids, and dank.. although there are mutliple names for each)

but if you didn't like feeling out of it, well, it probably just isn't for you (unless you can get ahold of a nearly pure sativa strain) weed is generally a downer, which makes you feel down and out of it...

find a dealer who knows what he's doing and offers actual strains, find one that is sativa dominant... as indica = couch lock, very down, body intense high. sativa = a more uppity, head orientated, but energetic high...

I'm pretty sure we mixed a mid strain with a dank strain. What's weird is one of the other people I did it with was up and about, but I was couch locked. It wasn't so much being couch locked that I didn't enjoy... I don't really know what it was, it might have been paranoia.

uh... i've never heard of it... you'd probably wanna take a growers word over mine, but i HAVE heard of alot of diffrent strains, and canadian gold isn't one...

you should also know, dealers VERY often label their bud with a name... just ot move it faster, it's often something very close to a real strain, but not quite.... if this comes up, for all you know, you could be buying the lowest grade possible....

the ONLY person you should reall trust with a name, is a grower themselves who also happen to be a friend... other then that, ignore names completely.. judge the bud by itsself and not the reputation it holds (also, even 'pure-bred' strains can be shit, so even if it is homegrown, don't just automaticly buy it...)

mainly, the only thing strain is used for these days (other then dealers to get more off their score) is to know what to expect when you get high..

mixing a mid and a dank would have no effect, at all... other then if you say, mixed a dank (grown) indica with a mid (grown) sativa.. i'm pretty sure about this but i could always be wrong, but if you mixed the two in equal parts, the dank would have a stronger effect on you then the mid that was mixed in...

drugs effect everyone diffrently.. that's why there is no one prescribed pill for each 'condition' (as an example) there is literally no 'alien' substance you could add to your body that would effect someone else in the exact same way... yoru body is unique so substances effect you uniquely, then of course there's the mind and the way you perceive it to take into account...

also, weed is an experience enhancing drug... if you're feeling really good when you smoke and no worries... it will enhance that... if you're uncomfterable, it will enhance that as well.

OK thanks. I couldn't find anything about it on the internet either, but I don't think it's schwag... I did buy it from a friend so I'm pretty sure I'm not being bullshitted here. It's definitely not dank, so I'm assuming its a mid.

[ganjzilla]

enjoy the recreational smoking, once u take it to the next level or upp your dosage u begin to get weaker highs...then u gotta take a step up in quality then u get a tolerance to that too

[MadSativa]

dude its not for everyone if you wana try again smoke less or smoke less pottant.

[Lankan Lion]

might just be the people youre smokin with. Try smoking with only your closest friends or even by yourself once and see how it feels. If its still not for you then thats cool but that first time is kind of an unprecedented experience. After a little while you stop thinking "holy shit i'm fucking high!11!" and start enjoying the feeling

With the exception of some crazy nights with huge amounts of high end widow shit or hash, I've never tripped as intensely as I did the first few times I smoked. Personally I kinda see that as unfortunate but I can see how the intensity of that first high can freak you out

[chris_36824]

Didn't enjoy your first high? Your effed up man.

LOL dont say that man...different strokes for different folks

i know so many people who didn't enjoy there first high, i have to admit. for your first time its a pretty intense feeling, if you don't know what to expect. The first time i got smoked weed, inhaled.. and i didn't feel stoned.. but when i got home my eyes were so chinked and i got caught by my mom .. lol that was a fews years back.. come to think of it .. my first time i felt a bit "disoriented" but i did not feel out of my element at all really. i was bummed out my first time, then my second time. i absolutely loved the feeling. The feeling of being out of my element.. is amazing.. but im not sure id step up to hard drugs... Deffinetly not lol.

[Distortion]

the first time i ever got high i could only talk in a high voice because i was laughin so damn hard and couldent catch my breath. then i fell in my friends sisters crib. i got fuckkkkedddd up. i enjoyed it so much :P

[WeedyBoyWonder]

From what you have posted I would guess you didn't enjoy it because you didn't feel totally comfortable and relaxed. Getting high for the first time could have been a daunting experience for you.
I would suggest you try to relax some and take it in your stride.
Also eat a proper meal and something sweet/sugary after, then get high I believe you would enjoy it alot more.

[Paulkishi]

I loved the first time i got high, but you seem like you weren't in the proper environment. Find a calming place and only smoke as much as you want to, you'll have fun then.

[LIP]

You probably didnt enjoy it coz you didnt know what to expect. Try again, and make sure your somewhere relaxed and comfortable.

You dont have to smoke loads - take a hit, see how you feel, and just stop when your feeling you've had enough. Weed is harmless - so even if you dont like it at least you wont ever die from it.

Maybe it's just not for you.

Shit, my first high was one of the most scary experiences of my life. That night I took more hits than I ever have in one sitting after that, because I didn't know how much I should have smoked or what to expect. I gave it another try, and I have loved it ever since. By the way, following after my first time, up until my second time, I was pretty sure I would never do it again. I thought it wasn't for me, but I found out otherwise. You should try it at least 2-3 times before you decide it's not for you. Like others have said, you didn't know what to expect, and you didn't know how much you should have smoked to reach a pleasant, desired effect. As you get more experience, you can gauge this while smoking, and decide when it's best to quit. Even as someone who loves ganja to the point of passion, I can tell you that I can hardly smoke a whole bowl of high quality sinsemilla to myself. Yes, I'm a lightweight. But as a lightweight, I make sure to pack only what I plan to smoke, because I've learned to figure out how much I'll need to reach that desired effect. It's better to pack it/roll it too small than to pack it/roll it too big and think that you need to finish it all off, and then get too high for your level of experience.

Like that one guy said: Take a hit, wait 5 minutes or so to gauge it, and take another. Wait 5 minutes, and if you want to be higher, then keep doing that. Otherwise stop. This makes it difficult to go beyond what you feel is comfortable.

Once you get the general idea of how it feels, you'll be able to see if it's for you or not. Otherwise you can always switch to meth.

[mfqr]

You might also want to take into account that not all strains will have that desired effect for you. For instance, if you were to smoke some strong Thai strain tomorrow, it could pretty well be assumed that you would be blown beyond desire. In other words, not all strains are good for beginners. Neville's Haze, for instance, is something that mostly only experienced smokers can appreciate.

Meh, there can't really be that much to it, try smoking again and see if you like it. If not, don't smoke anymore, if you do keep doing it.

The first time you get high is the best though so don't expect it to be as strong every time. (You will still be able to get extremely ripped but there's a special glow about your first time.)

[sam42012]

yeah first time i smoked i didnt think it was that good...but after a few times youll love it :D

[UTD Toker]

pretty much what everyone else said, try smoking by yourself or with a really close bud, try telling yourself that your about to get ripped, and you should def have a better experience, if not budsky is not for you :(

[imitator]

Give it two more tries, and see if you still dont like it.

Its possible that pot just isnt for you. I have a friend who doesnt smoke anymore because everytime she does, she equates it to tripping on other unmentionable drugs that give fun visuals.

She just completely zones out for two to three hours, you cant talk to her or anything, and then she snaps out of it. So she just doesnt smoke with us anymore, and just enjoys some booze while we smoke.

[GreenGiant07]

It's all about the quality of the herb, the method your smoking it, set and setting. Try to blaze and hang with friends in a controlled environment your first couple times, get good food, good folks, good buds and lay back n chill, if your friends are more experience then you, they'll show you a good time, best of luck :smokebong:
