Smokin problem

[Its 420 Somewhere]

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums and new to smokin all together.

I just started smokin bud about 2 weeks ago, smoked about 4 blunts so far.

So anyway, let me get to my problem.

Last night I was in my garage and I wanted to work on my inhaling smoke so I grabbed a cigarette and lit it up and smoked it and inhaled the whole thing (which was something that was hard for me, for me being a beginning smoker). So, I feel kinda nausea and my stomach feels funny so I lay down in the garage couch and watch tv. Constantly I was having to get up from the couch and spit a lot of spit. Everytime I got up a felt a little worse.

Than my step-brother comes outside to smoke a cigarette. So he does and I try not to smell any (I thought it would make it worse, which it did). I jump up from the couch and run out the garage and throw up 4 or 5 times.

This has never happened when I have smoked bud and this was my second cigarette.

Could it be the cigarette and will the same effect happen when I smoke bud? I just bought a quarter and I don't want to waste it :(.

The same thing won't happen when you smoke bud.

Was that your first time smoking a cigarette?

My second cigarette.

The first time I had the same problem, just not to a point where I felt like I threw up. I was just nausea the first time.

I don't smoke cigarettes but I'd say that is your problem. Just to be safe I'd suggest easing into green, don't go taking huge bong rips to start, but I think overall you should be fine :thumbsup:

Yea, I'm trying to ease into that now, Usually I take huge hits and cough up a storm. I will take smaller hits, until my lungs can handle a bigger hit.

Well i started off using a bubbler, then a bong.. but it doesnt matter where u start off at.. ur getting stoned easily n.eways.. its definately the cigs.. when u have the nice taste of bud, why would smoke a nasty cig..?

I don't like cigarettes at all, I just wanted to practice my inhaling without wasting my bud.

Your lung's are just new to smokin. When I first started, I coughed so much I could've got sick. But you just need time to adjust to inhaling smoke since your lung's have never experienced it. If your gettin sick just don't take big hit's or don't smoke a whole cig, Atrain's right just ease yourself into it and you should be fine.:stoned:

Well, if bud doesn't give the same effect, looks like I will be rollin a fat blunt tonight.

Thanks for the responses :D

There are two big differences between weed and tobacco --- the actual smoke and the effects on your mind/body.

With weed, you try to bring the smoke deep into your lungs and hold it for a little while. I don't know anyone who smokes tobacco that way. I can easily take a decent hit of weed, but I can barely get any tobacco smoke past my throat into my lungs --- I think tobacco smoke is just a lot more irritating.

The nicotine in cigarettes will make you sick if you are not used to it, especially if you are smoking them down in big hits like that! There is no nicotine in weed, so that same feeling of nausea will not happen.

So basically, I would say forget about cigarettes as a way to get used to weed. Cigarettes are a nasty habbit without enough payoff to be worth it.

Exactly!..dont bother with the cigs to help out wit your lung strengthing lol..

Your probably right, I decided last night (after I threw up) I would not smoke cigarettes again.

Just not a big payoff for the price I had to pay :jointsmile:

:thumbsup: that's the spirit..! lol good luck on your journey with ganja..:rasta:

[tenajtimmad]

yeah you cant really compare a cig to buds.. ive only tried 1 drag of a cig in my entire life and it was enough for me to never try them again. anyway if you want to try inhaling..just do it with some bud. learning from mistakes is what counts in the long run

[Whix]

dude dont worry man iv done the same thing with cigars. Its the nicotine in the cigs that makes u feel sick. Especially if ur not used to it, it will give you a major head rush and make u feel pretty nauseas. Most people dont even inhale cigs so for you being new and inhaling the whole thing it was a recipe for disaster.

Dude roll that blunt up man! ull feel way better after that than any cig could ever make u feel

I also wanted to know if we could use pictures for our sigs?

yeah dude you're just not used to it. Although I don't think trying to learn how to inhale smoke in general using cigarettes was a terrible idea it won't take long to get good enough at it so stick with the bud. If you insist on cigarettes look out for the light and extra light varieties with huge filters and shit. That will make the tobacco less harsh.

Stay high

Problem was is I was smokin Marlboro Light :(

[Metaphor]

i dont think ur supposed to inhale ciggs the same was as bud. actually i know your not supposed to. if you wanna practice inhaling without wasting weed you should go to a hookah bar.

what.... :wtf:


it was just the nicotine o.d that made you feel sick I think.

[dragonrider]

There's really no need to practice at all on anything but the real thing --- you'll figure it out before you're done with the quarter you got. There's not a lot to it. Just take a little air with the smoke as you inhale. If you start to feel like you are going to cough, stop pulling smoke and suck in some air to bring what smoke you have inhaled down into your lungs. Hold for a few seconds, then blow it out. Repeat as necessary.

[BizzleLuvin]

chah dude i agree with most everything folks are saying here.
1. you inhaled that cigarette to hard, thats why you threw up...all kinds of chemicals
2. you won't throw up with bud
3. cigarettes are not worth getting into
4. blunts are way too harsh for a novato, try a bub or a bong to filter. once you get the hang of hitting a bong and pulling the slider, you'll be a natural.
5. it's great that you aren't ashamed of being a novato smoker

[Its 420 Somewhere]

We don't own a bong, but would a bowl do justice?

[BizzleLuvin]

see when you roll a blunt you smoke the tobacco leaf which you roll everything in. also your mouth is so close to the bud so you inhale a lot of resin and such. a bowl would do fine, but it's not a bub. you can roll a blunt with a carboard filter (basically a little tube of cardboard which you roll and insert in the end to make smoking easier and to also catch resin) also.

[Its 420 Somewhere]

Well I don't own a bowl or anything but our buddy next door got a nice sized bowl we smoke out of sometimes.

Blunt's is what I smoke cause it's all I got :thumbsup:

[LongIsland420]

don't smoke cigarettes, that shit is nasty and unhealthy, and yes that is definitely what made you throw up. when i first tried cigarettes the same shit happened to me, but if you really think it's your 1/4 then just give it to me and ill inspect it for ya

Haha, I never though it was my 1/4.

I just was wondering would the same thing happen when I smoke my bud.

I would share with ya though :rastasmoke:

[Squiggle]

Sounds like your swallowing smoke...

This happened me me once and once only and its when you take a fucking huge hit (Out of a bong) usually and after you exhale most of it some is still in your mouth you swallow spit and smoke goes down into your stomach and upsets it(Says my doctor) he might have lied to me.

[greatish.ten]

I get the same thing sometimes when I have too many cigarettes, usually anything more than one will get me feeling pretty wasted. And I've been smoking cigarettes for a long time (not a habitual smoker, occasional). It's not the same with MJ.

It's the cigarettes.

[Its 420 Somewhere]

I can already tell this will be my favorite forum :D

I just bought my first 1/4 (<-- first time I have bought bud)

Tonight I am gonna smoke my bud with pride.

[potsmokingnome]

buy some rolling papers, and just roll joints to start. or buy a pipe.

If you had a funny head buzz like light headiness then you had too much nicotine. When we packed lips of tobbacco way back in freshman year we got our friend Charlie to pack one for his first time and later on he apparently spewed in class.

The only thing you can get wrong inhaling is swallowing a bit of your hits into your stomach, easy just dont swallow any air.


And I know youll want to roll your eyes when you hear this but just plain avoid the cigarettes. Ive been smoking 5 years and really really wish I had just said no right from the beginning like some healthy friends of mine did

[TheSmokingMonkey]

Nicotine is so poisonous that if you ate two cigarettes (rather than smoked them to let most of it burn off into the air), you would die.

So. Don't smoke fast if you don't have a high tolerance for nicotine. (Which, being only your second cigarette, is obviously not the case.)

You had nicotine poisoning, and there is no nicotine (or anything bad like that) in cannabis smoke.

SO: no need to worry, and y'know, just relax on the how to inhale thing. Everybody is a newb once.
