How does it feel?

[Kaida]

Hi all,

I'm new to the board and looking for some information. I've discovered that alcohol does absolutely nothing good for me. I don't feel happy or giggley or any of the other good effects other people have when they drink, I just get scared and overwhelmed and feel sick, even when I've only had a little. So I've decided it's pointless me drinking anymore. But I would like something I can do to relax, like others drink, and I was looking at weed. An ex-gf of mine used to smoke it very heavily, so I've been slightly stoned passively from being sat on her lap while she was smoking, but I'm scared about what actually smoking myself would do. Can someone please describe the whole thing to me? What can I expect?

Also, I've only ever seen people smoking joints, but I've heard that bongs are better for you because you don't have tobacco in them? Is this true? Can somebody elaborate?

how old are you?

Joints dont have to have tobacco. Alot of people in england and europe use tobacco, but personally i smoke it pure. Its alot better for you because it hasnt got all the bad things that are in tobacco. The best way to smoke it is in a bong. The water filters our any bad material in the weed, and cools the smoke down. I find pure cannabis smoke VERY smooth, and relaxing, unlike tobacco, which sadly i do smoke aswell, but not in joints.

Smoking weed is all about relaxing and having a good time. Its the safest drug out there. I say drug, although to me it isnt a drug at all. Its a herb.

When your stoned and its good weed, you'll feel a sense of time going much slower, and thigns seeming so much more funny. You'll laugh at things that arnt even funny. When im baked i find my toaster amazing lol.

It's hard to describe, because differnt strains of weed make you feel differnt.

If you want a nice social head high go for a sativa, if you want a couch stone then go for indica. I prefer indica cos it mkaes your whole body feel heavey, and every time you move just a little it seems like your legs weigh a ton.

Just go out, buy some weed that is nice smelling, and looks crystally, smoke it in a joint and wait. If you like it, watch TV and keep yourself awake. IF you decide its not for you, just go to bed, and you will sleep it off.

The best part is, you cant overdose, so it doesnt matter how much you smoke, you havnt EVER got to worry about anything.

Goodluck man. Take it easy ;0

How does it feel?

to be on your own
with no direction home
a complete unknown.

.... like a rolling stone

[BUZz UK]

I've been slightly stoned passively from being sat on her lap while she was smoking
are you a cat?

[justinsane]

are you a cat?

hahaha, witty

[osso87]

it can be very good or very strange and paranoid! it does relax you and you think about things in so many different ways!

[chriscannabis]

Well the effects are vary from eprson to person. For me, it's kind of like a dream, you know whats happening, but your not able to keep track of what's been happening. Sometimes it feels like your in a video game with good graphics, like a cutscene between levels or something.

But the few things that I found that me and my friends always get is we can't remember shit, even if we were just talking about it, and you laugh at everything. You also tend to get some extremely random thoughts circulating about your brain and if your stoned enough you may say them without thinking.

[RaoulDuke45]

i like to see it as when i get high, my body goes on auto-pilot, and my mind takes a break from doing shit and does shit like ponder life, laugh, and do shit like that

so then shrooms arent a drug? just a fungus?

ok i have an idea of how you feel, the first time i smoked i was so scared... some things that helped was that your first time do it where you wont get paranoid, it sucks, go somewhere where you feel safe. the first couple of hits will burn slightly if your not used to inhaling smoke, so maybe have a glass of water or somthing, if your smoking with friends ask as many questions as you like. since youve never been fully stoned the effects will suddenly hit you, maybe its sounds, or youll just bust out laughing. its a really cool experience and youll never forget it...hope this helped...

[orangeman]

Kaida, so many people will tell you that you cant die from smoking weed but what they fail to mention that if your not expecting what weed can make you experience you might have a panic attack and think that you might die. I was so paranoid I thought I was gonna be the first person to die from weed from the way I was reacting lol. If alcohol makes you panic more than likely weed will too...well if it's schwagg it wont, it wont even alter your mind state, but some potent weed more than likely will make you scared. Just dont think about anything goin on it your body, just focus on everything that would be going on at the moment, focus on anything but your high so you dont end up trippin out lol. You will feel strange but it's all in the high.

[d00d989]

yea definately, what orangeman said
you wont know what to expect, so you will be scared and nervous because all that bullshit anti-marijuana groups say.

remember, NO ONE has ever died from smoking marijuana, and you WONT be the first person

other than that, just lay down on a couch and relax, you will know when you are high :D

you wont hallucinate or anything like that, you just feel....awesome lol

[Kokujin X]

Well... first off, don't be afraid. It wont do anything to you that it doesn't do to us. Some people go into smokin weed afraid of the effects, have a bad trip and just quit. First time doing it, be in a spot thats secure. You don't want to get all paranoid while high. Thats mainly what drives people away from it if anything, is the paranoia. So just relax and enjoy it.

[enthused]

first few times you are really paranoid and it isn't that great(or wasn't for me) but once you start to relax, you kind of have outerbody experiences until you build up a crazy tolerance from smoking 6-8 times a day

[LIP]

Tmar.aLL.DaYmar, yes to me shrooms are not a drug. They are a mushroom, just like normal ones, apart from they make you hallcinate (Icant spell, too stoned)

I think this because it is true, anything natural is NOT a drug. It was put here, and the first man took them because god wanted him too. God put these plants here for us to love. Im not religous, but i think this is true.

[Frivolous248]

Just smoke it. Weed isn't a strong enough drug to really worry about and need to research a lot on. First time I smoked I had no clue about it, first time I got high I still didn't know much about it, but I enjoyed it...untill I got sketched out cause me and my friend were lost in the woods in the dark with no flash-light waiting for my other friend to get back with another lighter. But once he got back and we smoked more then it was awesome still.

So, just smoke a few times, see if you like it enough to continue, and go from there.

[Kaida]

are you a cat?

lol Nope, just a girl who likes sitting on my girlfriend's lap!

Thank you everybody for answering my questions, it's really helped. I'm prone to panic attacks anyway, which is why I'm trying to find as much info as possible because that will keep me calmer.
One more question (for now!):
Can I build up a tolerance by passive smoking, enough that my first time actually smoking wouldn't be so likely to panic me?

Kaida

[sharpezor]

you probably will not panic the first time, i didnâ??t and im somewhat nerotic normaly.

I can relate to that....

I feel i have two minds when i`m high... one for entertainment and to react to the environment"Crowd, Tv ... etc" and the other thinking wtf i`m so high...

Kaida

no. doubt it.(but everyone is different) i didnt build up a tolerance until I smoked 5 times a day atleast for like 3 months straight. but even now, I just smoke stronger shit and its all good. youll be fine. toke up and have fun! and if you don't want to panic, just smoke a little. then a little more the next time, and so on. ease into it if you're a little scared.

[BestTonicIsChronic]

It great every stoner is the same. I say this because ever person who smokes weed is all for new people doin it, like every stoner is a recruiter and then who the recruit gets new ppl, I cant see how everyone by now dosnt do it. But anyways to your question, what these ppl forgot to tell is for most ppl it dosnt work the first time i unno why even if you know how to smoke correctly. Also it will hit you hard the first time and will totally catch you off guard but if you roll with it and keep positive it will be one of the best times youve ever had, also the first time is nothing like the other times you will always be thinking about the first time and wanting that back.

[Up In Smoke 420]

Have your friend help you out. She will keep you from freaking out if for some reason you would and smoke when nobody is home that way you will be calmer. You wont have to worry about them smelling it or thinking your stoned.

[psychocat]

I dislike alchohol simply because it makes a bad temper a little uncontrollable at times, I have lost count of the mates I've had to apologise to because I got pissed and started a fight.
Weed is fine but just remember moderation is the key, if you go rushing in it can be a negative experience ,the secret is just to remain relaxed and go step for step.

[orangeman]

Of course but dont smoke TOO much because eventually it'll take more and more to get you high and if you ask me it will be a waste of money and then it wont. It wont be because weed isnt a waste of money, it will be because you could've just limited the times you smoked for a good time lol.
