First time tomorrow :O

[Zwitter]

First of all, I'm new to the forum and excited to be here. :D

Tomorrow, a bunch of people from my program (As an alternative to high school I go to vocational technical school, I'm a networker ) are getting together to smoke. I've never done it before; the closest I've come to it is a few weeks ago when I went to the fair and I had bronchitis. My friend hit me on the back to give me a coughing fit and then blew a bunch of smoke in my face, to be a jerk.

I'm the only female in the program, and the guys I'm going to be with tomorrow are like big brothers; they watch out for me, but they mess with me, too. There's five of us, and between us we have about a half. That's what they told me, anyway.

Now the thing is, I'm seventeen. I live with a different family; I up and left my own. I'm safe and treated fairly where I am, now, but it was at a great cost to my freedom. They make an attempt to be a family to me. It's really nice, but...

All my life I've taken care of myself. I live in a city, so I walked all over, fended for myself, found ways to feed myself. A 'streetrat'. I lived right down in the middle of the city. Now I live on top of a hill right outside the city. The family I live with doesn't believe in people walking anywhere, the kids don't have jobs(they're my age). In short, they're spoiled.

And they're very sheltered from the outside world, very close-minded. They're very, very conservative, and abhor marijuanna. I don't want them to know that I've experimented; My real family has since moved, and I would have nowhere to live.

I'm not a bad kid.. I'm hardworking and I like my career. I think I could be responsible with pot. I just don't share their ideals. I'm eager to experience this, after all I've read, and heard, and all the good I know it does many people.

I apologise for the rant, but does anyone have any tips for me? Which method would be the least harsh...How to disguise it afterward? I apologise if this is in the wrong topic. ;_; I'd greatly appreciate the help. :D Nice to meet you all!

You dont need it. Dont do it. It's not worth it. Get high on life.

[Cas]

hi and welcome to the board. now to undermine your excitement but I wouldn't expect to get high your first time smoking unless you either smoke really good weed, or just lots of weed in general. either way smoking's fun and it's always a good experience. it sucks that you live with a bunch of conservatives that you have to hide some stuff from. but my parents are pretty bad when it comes to pot but it hasn't stopped me from smoking.

[l33t h4x0r]

This is what you should know, or at least I think would help:

1.When you smoke, it would almost be better to use a bubbler or a bong to start with, but that might seem like a shock to someone who has never smoked before, so you'll probably end up using a pipe.
2.When you inhale, do it slowly until you start to feel a little burning sensation, then stop unless you want to or can cough where ever you are.
3.Try not to cough your lungs out right away, take a few hits first in case you don't want to anymore after you have a coughing fit.
4. Don't puke. It's not common if there is no leaves, but it has happened to me, so once again, don't take a hit to the point where you can't hold it in and its burning the hell out of your throat.
5. To cover it up? I usually never do because it is a faint smell most of the time, but if you need to, change clothes or walk outside for a while.

Hope that helps, and have fun :)

[DragonForce1]

You probobally wont get high.

Most important rule? Have fun.

[fikusroot]

I like your avitar.

[hugs not drugz]

heres the advice im giving u
get food before hand so u dont have to walk to the nearest taco bell or mcdonalds

[Pride]

welcome to the forums.
here, is full of losers and crinimals.
just get high on life and don't end up like us

[Skrappie]

to cover up the smell, dont spray yourself with junk, wear a hoodie when you smoke, leave hoodie at freinds house, and when you get home, just be normal.

[Acouwaila]

you will most likely laugh your ass off at random shit. Thats what happened to me the first time (although I didn't feel high)

lots of other people I know had the same reaction.

oh, and be a champ. Even when you think ur throat hurts so much that you are going to die. Just wait it out and keep smoking if u want to get high. U dont have to smoke fast.

Skip ur turn once or twice but make sure hte mother fuckers keepin packin it

first ignore assholes like this!

Well secondly if it's your first time smoking don't try and be a hero. Meaning, go slow, pace yourself, have some tea or juice with you (no soda pop!!!) also it would be good to have somewhere to lie down afterwards and don't worry about finishing the whole dube if you're by yourself you probably won't be able to. If you're a smoker of cigeretts i've found that having one after a toke is quite the tasty treat. If you get too high and panic which is unlikely just remind your self its the pot, eat and you'll feel fine. If u turn pale each something sugary. Most ppl dont get high with the first time, do waht ever you wanna do, its your high! Enjoy it! Well good luck....=)

[turquoise70]

I've been living on the streets for eight years, hopelessly addicted to pot and its evils. Don't become like me little lady. It's not worth it, you've got your whole life ahead of you.

[ate]

Don't eat, wait until you come down, it's like going to college just to go and get drunk and party. That's not what it's about, pay attention to the high. LEARN.

If you are living on the streets how do you have access to a computer? I've never seen any bums asking for change with a laptop.

[crudemood]

i just hope you had as much fun as i did when you first smoked.
good luck dont trip out too hard

[JaggedEdge]

Just be smart... The first time I smoked I made sure I had another place to stay so I wouldn't have to go home to the parents. Since the people you live with are very conservative it may be difficult to tell them you are sleeping over at your male friends house. Since I don't advicate lying simply pretend your friend doesn't have a penis. Remember if you truely believe it, it isn't a lie.

If you have to go home afterwards get some visine for your eyes, and the sweater idea is a good one as well. As many others have said you most likely won't get high the first time. I did and I lauged like an idiot the entire night. My second time smoking I was mellow as all hell, however most people I talk to, if the feel anything, it is random laughing fits.

However if you feel trying this wonderful plant could seriously mess up your living situation than wait. I firmly believe everyone should try it at least once, but there isn't a rush. In HS I knew if my mom found out she would be very upset and I would have to sit through a long lecture, but nothing serious would come from it.

Have water handy (you will get bad cotton mouth)

Also, please do not blow. Haha, I made that mistake my first time smoking. If you have to cough, move the smoking device away from your mouth :-) It is much easier than everyone giving dirty looks as their trying to find the fallen pieces by the light of their phone...

I'm gonna stop there. I'm not sure if this even has any useful info, I'm just in a very chatty mood tonight and could write a novel about nearly anything right now.

Have fun, be safe, and get ready for an amazing expirence. If not the first time than you will experience it soon after.

[Reefer Rogue]

Roll it up, light it up, smoke it up, inhale, exhale...

[Cassiopiea]

Deordorant, eyedrps, if you can, tell ur family you will be out overnight.

Are you some sort of fucking cop?

Ummm.....pot is not addictive

[phoenix]

Why are people so stupid that they can't get a joke? I mean, I read that stuff, and I laugh, people are just messing around.

Then along comes lip, angry at fikus, and funfubarman, who just doens't get it at all.

God you people, next time you read a post like that, just stop and consider that maybe it's a joke before you post.

[Fabolous]

ahhh the first time smoke. first time i ever smoke we ended up playing horse but since i and 3 others where high as hell. we played "HIGH" of course it being my first time smoking when i was little i lost pitifully.

anyway, i was off subject when you get your first good weed, saver it!. because once you start smoking like 4 blunts a day like Muwa you don't get as high any more.
Never let your guard down with so called "Big Brother" friends because they well fuck with you from the time your high till your sober. Learn to roll joints/blunts because they last longer, and never have to relight it (of course first few times the rolling well suck, i recommend get a thing of rolling tobacco to practice)

until you start smoke lots more i would recommend not to go out side while high, because your eyes well become redder then the devil.

so keep token, and support to Legalize Marijuana becase we're not hurting anyone while high and couldn't even if we tried :)

[CheebaMan]

i hope u took in nice long hits

[fikusroot]

Are you some sort of fucking cop?

No. Fucking cops cost $70 an hour. And no, I don't think someone in her position would benifit from smoking. But then again, I dont really stand to gein much from smoking in my current position. I guess that makes me a hippocrite.

Thanks you guys for all your help!

I ended up doing it earlier on in the afternoon so I'd be fine by the time I went home. And I was.
We all got there and piled into his room, which was really small. He shut his window and stuffed his hoodie under the crack of the door, and started producing all these crazy-looking bongs and bubblers. I was intimidated for a while, so I just watched and sat cross-legged on his bed. He turned to pass me the great big bubbler he had and then stopped, gave me the 'one minute' sign with his finger and started rummaging around under his bed. Finally he pulled out a small glass pipe, about five inches long, and handed it to me and smiled. Then I insisted he light it for me, and they all stopped and looked at me. They were like "I could've sworn you smoked. You seriously don't know how?" and I shook my head and they laughed, and all gave me tips on how to breathe. I took my first hit, I pulled softly and didn't think I got any smoke, but then I held it for a few seconds and let go and exhaled smoke. I tasted it in my mouth, too.
I was eager to try again, so he lit it for me again, and he was like "Pull harder this time." So I did and I felt my throat burn, and I wanted to cough but I held it for another few seconds and proceeded to hack up a lung. I felt something on my tongue and scraped at it with my sleeve, and he laughed and told me I probably sucked in ash and then everyone else laughed, and said, "Not that hard!"
Firstly I was apprehensive because there were a few people I didn't know...but the more we smoked I felt happy that they were there. I didn't notice much of anything at first, because I was looking down at my sock. Then the class jokester said something out of nowhere, it was completely irrelevant, and I laughed openly...I'm used to the hollow laugh where you're not really paying attention, but this felt like a real laugh. And we all smiled broadly at each other.
The guy who owned the room, he laid down and propped his head against the wall, so I did the same. He played Deftones from his laptop and put his head on me and I felt the warmth from his body...and it felt like the warmth echoed. I felt so serene and, for the first time in my life, I felt at peace with myself. I looked up and started recounting all the things that landed me in the situation I'm in...and it didn't hurt to recall anything. There wasn't any pain or sorrow in my memories.
I was thinking fast and loud, much faster than normal, and my thoughts seemed to have color, and suddenly, I realized that I knew how to forgive, and I made a conscious decision to forgive my mother.

The rest of the story isn't that remarkable- they all played Halo and I laid on the couch and nodded off a couple times. My ride took me on the freeway on the way home, so I shook out my hair in the air.

On Saturday I drove out to see my mother and visited with her.

I'm very happy that I had this experience. Thank you all for opening my mind and showing me truths. I've been lurking here for a couple months, since I became curious. It's amazing what simple education can do. I realize now the ignorance that is all around us and when I turn eighteen this June, I'm going to register to vote first thing and do my best to become an activist.
