Any suggestions for newbie?

[moeburn]

I'm going to try some weed tomorrow, but I've heard lots of stories of people just having a panic attack their first time. Any suggestions on how I could avoid such panic attacks and just enjoy the relaxing aspects, like should I get drunk before, or how many hits i should take?

[STDzRus]

It's all in your mind. It's going to be a different feeling if you've never experienced weed before, the first time I smoked I thought the cops were at the door because somebody was banging and I ran up the stairs and fell asleep on the stairs.

I suggest you don't smoke too much <did i just say too much?> just keep it at no more than an eighth your first time and let the good times roll, try not to hang around high tense people <unless that's your thing> and just remember, things around you don't change because you are smoking weed, it's you who are changed....so just remember that everything is the same, nobody else is seeing the light you are seeing.

DO NOT:
try to drive
try to operate any heavy machines/and/or power tools
Freak the fuck out cuzz you think someting is happening that isnt
Smoke alot in a hurry,slow and relax is the way on the first time..
DO:
Have fun with it!!!


Enjoy it with a few GOOD friends that will make the experience nice and not a bummer..
It is going to be totally in your hands on how you enjoy the buzz..Just dont put yourself inany position that would make your first time a bad experience..like out driving fucked up and get pulled over with weed in the car..or worse, wreck your car and hurt yourself,sum one around you..ya thatd be a bad first time...

HAVE FUN and be responsible..

Just chill and have a good time. Try not to think about anything except how good you feel and how beautiful things look, etc. If you do it with a few close friends in a secure environment, you should have no problem. I have never had a panic attack or anything and I usually smoke in public places or places where I might get caught (side of a road or in my friends job after hours) because there are no parks or secluded spots near me. It might be better if you don't get drunk before you smoke. I usually like to smoke a lot and then when the cotton-mouth kicks in I have a few beers/shots, whatever. Beer also tastes better when your stoned.

Just chill with your friends and listen to some mellow music and have a good time. Don't worry about anything.

[NightProwler]

none of my friends or me had panic attacks their first time.

[StonedStatus]

u wouldn't get a panic attack unless u get really parinoid, if your smoking with friends that have smoked before they'll know how to handle it and will be there to help you out, any body remember havin' the fish bowl effect the first time they smoked?i don't seem to get that anymore =(

[Takingsunday21]

I'd say just smoke a joint. Pass it around you'll be high. My first time I smoked a bunch and freaked out.

[georgiapeach420]

My first time we smoked a blunt (which was perfect for me because I smoke ciggs so I got good hits) But all I remember is how great it was to ride around in the car I just got really quite (which isn't like me so everyone knew I was high) and went into my own little world and enjoyed all the turns and bumps in the road!!

[lateralus]

My advice:

- *Only* close friends. Strangers tend to make me paranoid, and it ruins the experience.
- It's always a good idea to make *sure* you're in a situation where there is no chance of getting caught. Otherwise? Might get paranoid.
- Too much (I said it!) weed probably isn't the best idea for a newb. Might be overwhelming.
- Negative thoughts = buzzkill. Always think positive.

Peace.

Lol I remember that he like smoked two joints by himself and his face was all pale and he was like shaking and shit.

[g unit boy]

Take as many hits as possible, and when you feel like your going to die just remmber that nobody has died from weed, o, and dont call up any girls u tryin to get with cuz thats what i did and i always fucked up on the phone cuZ i was always so blazed.

[Nochowderforyou]

I find a lot of people new to smoking pot always get their hopes up for something out of this world and end up being dissapointed, or not "getting high". Don't think about the feeling being high, what it is like and thinking that it is going to be a rollercoater ride.

Just sit back, inhale the smoke, hold it in for a few seconds, release, and just let the feeling come over you. Don't sit there thinking, "am I high"..."is this it?", just smoke it, and let the herb do the rest. Happy smokin :cool:

[moeburn]

Allright I got some, which way should i smoke it? I dont have any rolling paper but I've got some altoids paper which seems thin enough. I dont really feel like making a bong. I'm thinking lighting it on a spoon and taking the smoke straight up, anyone reccomend this?

[dirty raider]

If you got no papers just make a simple gravity bong or waterfall.

[Takingsunday21]

man just make an apple pipe or steamroller they're fast and easy if you just wanna get high.

[moeburn]

Allright I did it with a soldering iron. Held smoke in lungs for a long time, it tastes yummy :) 7 minutes now, no effects yet, but I have heard it takes a long time for newbies.

Haha! can you do that with the spoon? I don't know....

[420purplehaze420]

no man lighting it on a surface and trying to inhale it doesnt work i tried doing that with the bottom of a pop can but it was shitty so i just rooled a joint

[moeburn]

Yeah it didnt seem to work, guess I'll roll a joint, but later, must wait for the surrounding to sleep :)

[moeburn]

Ok I've just taken about 9 hits, 6 i think were done right, and its not working, 30 min later. I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right because I'm inhailing it into my lungs, it burns a little, I can see smoke when i exhale, and every time i breathe I taste weed :P

Why isnt it working?

[NotALlama]

are you sure your not swallowing the smoke?

[moeburn]

are you sure your not swallowing the smoke?
yeah or else i wouldnt breathe smoke would i

[Takingsunday21]

Man make a steamroller. It will get you stoned in a few hits if you do it right. Take the cardboard roll out of a paper towel roll. Cut a hole in the top of it. Cover that hole with foil, and push the foil down into the hole a little bit making a little pocket, or bowl. Poke holes in the bottom of the bowl, use something very small like a needle or toothpick so that your weed doesn't fall through. Now put weed in the bowl. Put your mouth at one end of it and cover the other end with your hand. Use your free hand to light the bowl. Start inhaling while you light it. Once you're getting a lot of smoke release your hand from the other end and keep inhaling. That will clear the smoke. You'll probably start coughing your ass off, but at least you got a hit. Try n hold it in your lungs.

[Takingsunday21]

Oh yeah make sure you're breaking up the weed. Get all the seeds out, and if you have nugs break them up.

[moeburn]

I tried that last night with the apple bong. I actually made it pretty well, but my weed wouldn't light. It would smoke when I held the lighter there, and then just go out. Its really dense, am I supposed to grind this stuff up?

[Randycigar]

Dude... i'm still a newb kinda but I've been gett'n high.. but the 1st couple times.. actaully lke 1st 5-6 times I was having pannic attacks.. and it wasn't cuz anything bad was goin to happen it's cuz my 1st time I smoked i belieave it was laced so after that I was kinda sacred like as it could be laced or somthing so its all in your head just know what's in it and you'll be fine, I mean LOOK AT ALL THE PPL WHO DO IT.. have any of them died form just weed.. or like gone crazy NO, the THC just tickels your brain thats all.. so isteaded of try'n to fear the pannic attack just try and get one ya know.. well anyother words.. dont be a afraid of it.. if you're afraid of swimming.. JUMP IN THE WATER.. it's the only thing that'll work, honestly!!! Oh and also.. once you've got the pannic attack out of the way.. try new thing and look at your life in a diffent point of view.. it's soo awesome, like just last night I was sing'n coutry and make'n my own songs and shit.. BUT I'M A HIP HOP/ RAP PERSON..... never do I listen to country =S but shit's just like that when this drug.. it makes you more creative... so the only thing bad you have to worry about is the DAMN COTTON MOUTH.. lol other then that dont be too alarmed!!! Thanks for the time..

[Takingsunday21]

Yeah man break the weed up into small small pieces. never just smoke it right out of the bag. And try that steamroller. If you follow those directions then you'll be stoned. I gau-ren-tee

[moeburn]

Ok I made the apple bong, with a tinfoil poked bowl and an aluminum pipe i found laying in a bin of pens.

I went in the garage, held a bbq lighter over the chopped up pieces of bud in the bowl, breathed in, and i hardly got any smoke.

Then i tried leaving the lighter lighting the bowl and breathe it in while its on fire. I got a ton of smoke, i coughed it up like hell. I think i did it right :D Exactly 7 minutes later, while i was sitting in the garage, i felt myself get lighter. Its kinda like the nitrous oxide they give you at the dentist.

Now i'm on my computer, high, my chest feels a little tight, i'm really thirsty, and having lots of fun :)

[Takingsunday21]

You got it man good job. Now just wait till you get your hands on some real shit, i.e. bongs..bubblers..joints rolled correctly..all that good stuff. And when you're with friends you can talk forever about stupid stuff, and get really into it.

[grasshopper420]

first thing ya gotta break up the buds(those big chunks of herb that look really pretty) you can do this by taking a bud and rolling it between your thumb and trigger finger this should leave small peices no bigger than a BB
ounce youve accomplished this put em in your bowl and pack em in tight enouph to where you can suck through it easily then light it while its being lit suck through the pipe making sure you inhale some poeple swallow the smoke by accident once you have smoke in yur lungs hold your breath for at least ten secs. then exhale slowly i have heard myths that say if you exhale through your nose it gets you more stoned faster i dont see how thats true but if it works let me know cuz that would be cool

Ps you might have crappy weed(low potency)

[grasshopper420]

forget that last reply you got it before i was done typing enjoy the buzz man!!

[chris40]

The gravity bong is your best friend.

[Pichacho]

if you're smoking pure weed, you sometimes have to hold the lighter to it while your inhaling, or else it just goes out. thats why some people put tobacco in the joint/bowl/whatever. i never have, i dont have a problem with re-lighting it each time.

[screwedcork]

forget that last reply you got it before i was done typing enjoy the buzz man!!
yeah he "got it" about a month and a half ago. check dates.....................

[toniesamiam]

are you sure your smoken weed and not your mothers spices?

[lizka4200]

exhaling through ur nose just means u know u inhaled....thats what i tell people when smoking with thtem for their first times...a lot of them just hold it in their mouth....

[jamisgood]

Make sure you are hitting it when you light it with the lighter and then continue to hit it with the lighter away.

[Blaze420]

I'm going to try some weed tomorrow, but I've heard lots of stories of people just having a panic attack their first time. Any suggestions on how I could avoid such panic attacks and just enjoy the relaxing aspects, like should I get drunk before, or how many hits i should take?

my advice:
smoke lots
outa a bong
drink a slurpee
eat a brownie
box a room ---> watch a movie ---> drink another slurpee
go home sleep


oh.. and dont forget.. take a bunch more air in after ur bong hit so aall the smoke goes aaaaall the way into ur lungs, hold it for a bit blow out the smoke take the chamber:) orr do ur bong hit and chamber all in 1, but remember.. inhale...

[DazedandConfused]

cool man. you still smokin?

[bettybarbra]

if you wanna get super fucked up with weed make fucking brownies..the first time i did weed i ate brownies (2 brownies) and it was the worst experience ever. it took about an hour but it hit me...bad...everything was going in slow motion, i couldnt concentrate on anything for like more than a second...it looked like there was a strobe light on..a slow strobe light. and i was real paraniod because i didnt whether my friends were fucked up or not...so tehy would freak me out. i talked to the tv one time i remember. the second time i did brownies i only at half a brownie and i still got a ll fucked up..not as bad as that first time but it was still bad. i had more fun with it tho. i quit brownies..i just smoke now and i get the good high where everythings so funny and everything tastes soo good. i say try the brownies first...then go down to just smoking...
