Weed newbie, getting crap highs

[Telecaster]

My mate has been doing weed for almost a year now and I've just started to get into it.

Now I was mainly after a bit of info.

The weed we smoke looks to be a light green with a lot of orange strands in it. We've also smoke hydroponic.

Now I never seem to get a good high, I just get really tired and hungry and cbf doing anything.

I don't get happy or delayed response or anything like that.

We've used a vapouriser like device (light bulb glass with weed inside it covered by a bottlecap with a straw through it).

We've also used a bong (homemade doesn't work well), joints and a canpipe.

I was just looking for tips on how to get a good high and how to prepare the buds for smoking.

Basically I'm a n00b looking for info.

Cheers.

hey do you have any headshops around you? non-homemade smoking devices are the best!

What happens when you smoke really depends on the person, and on what the person is doing. I have smoked before when I was already really depressed (usually I stop caring about useless depression) but I have become apathetic and sad after smoking. So I go for a run or a walk and that cheers me up:woohoo:

Oh, and just make sure you're inhaling when you smoke and don't do it out of a can (aluminum, paint, etc., not healthy).

Happy days!:rastasmoke::hippy:

maybe try smoking from a glass pipe or something. canpipes suck. i know what feeling you are having, like someone already kinda said when i smoke alone or smoke when im depressed the high is more mellow and i dont feel like doing anything i just kinda get lazy and tired, but when im with my best friends and we light up i usually end up laughing the whole time and feel really good, and we usually go out and do something like go to a restaurant to get food, something that doesnt take any thought, maybe try doing something while high.

You should buy an actual pipe instead of using home made ones.

It could also be that you just aren't getting enough to get a "real" high. Try buying some just for yourself and see if you are still having the problem.

It sounds like it's indica.

firsly, i'd say ask your roommate about the weed. ask how could it is, and what type (sativa, indica). then, if it is, indeed, a good specimen, then just smoke and don't think about it. just forget you smoked, and just ride the wave. no expectations, no annalyzing of your high.

i've smoked alone right now...my life isn't in the best shape and i really haven't been "happy" in a while. however, right now (and usually), i smoked alone, and am just smoking a cigarette, reading the forums (what I did for a while was read up on drugs, read blogs about drug users, and all sorts of shit, which kept me in bed in front of the PC for a while, but I never felt/thought that it wasn't worth the time) and just doing whatever.

For example, while writing this post, I looked up and saw that the incense that I've had burning was making really cool patterns with the smoke, and I was just like "wow...that's so cool".


So, either way, even if you do get a mellow high, and don't do much, that's ok. I feel that the best thing about the weed, even if you get a body high, is the psychological effect. So, i could sit in bed for 15 hours stoned, doing nothing, but I'd still be impressed because of all my thoughts/feelings/etc


Sorry for rambling on and I hope that made at least a bit of sense

finely grind up about 2 grams roll, smoke, enjoy.

Maybe you're not inhaling properly? A lot of people that are new to smoking don't know how to inhale the right way and it wastes weed along with frustrating the person. Make sure you're inhaling the smoke down into your lungs and not just in your mouth.

If you're 100% sure you know you're smoking the right way then get some better weed and get something better to smoke out of. Perhaps try making a gravity bong out of a bucket and a 2 liter(or bigger). Look online if you or your friends don't know how to make one.

Get yourself a pipe, easiest way. Get a glass one if you can.

I agree with the first bit dunno about the glass however i have just a normal one and it works fine. :)

Learn to inhale properly find some good stuff and you should be fine.

bongs are the best way for n00bs, its almost impossible not to inhale

and once you become a master pothead and catch all the strains you can buy a RooR

[smokedoja]

Why are all those newbies trying so hard to get high. Just relax and smoke some joints with your friends. The rush will come eventually. Lots of newbies are just to focussed on getting high, they don't enjoy the joints.

[joe86el]

LOL you don't "do" weed. you'd swear you were talking about smoking crack or something

[Nightrafe]

don't consider weed as some sort of drugs, they're not. It's a f*cking plant, with an extremely good taste :D

[southside pothead]

try making a gravity bong ive bein smoking for years now n it still makes me look crossed eyed after taking 3 good hits

[Beefer86]

Smoke a glass on glass bong and rip the hell out of it and you wont be able to walk straight.

Relax and enjoy smoking, not getting high. My first time, the only thing I was focused on was seeing what happened. I wasn't expecting to get knocked up my ass, I was just smoking to see what would happen.

I did get high my first time, and every other time I've smoked. I never smoke to get high as hell, I smoke to enjoy and the high comes naturally.

And don't smoke too much, that might cause you to crash and end up feeling very tired. If you're starting out, you'll have no tolerance. You're going to want to start slowly, even if your friend is smoking much more. Go at your own pace, slow and steady, just to see what will happen and not waiting to get extremely baked.
