That is why I orignially started smoking daily. I weighed the health effects and it was much safer than getting drunk nearly every night.

I skipped through a lot of these posts, but I would suggest just getting an 8th for your first buy. If you were to only smoke a bowl a night it would last you about 5-7 days. Maybe a little longer, I suck at math, maybe a little less. I smoke about two or more a day though and an 8th lasts me 2-4 days, if that helps.

I fogot what kind of meds you said you are on, but if it is an anti depresent just pay attention that you make sure the weed doesn't cancel out the effects of the meds.

My g/f recently was prescribed Prozac and her doctor said she will be giving her a drug test every week. She said there is no physical danger in mixing the two, but that the weed could decrease the effectivness of the prozac. She hasn't started taking it yet... we are a little wary of prozac...

Good luck with everything. Depending on how good your dealers are, you prob won't be able to pick what kind you want. Some know what they are doing, but it seems like most don't. A lot of them sadly won't even know what you mean if you ask for a Sativia or Indica dominate strain.

If you are going to pick it up with your friend. Ask the guy you get it from if it would be alright for you to pick up another 1/8th or Q in a week or so.

Welcome to the family.

Like others here said, a joint is a much smoother way to smoke than a pipe. Get a friend who knows how to roll to teach you, eventually you'll learn and if it's too time consuming come up on a way to roll like I did.

Also a bong or bubbler will cool down the smoke through the water. Only thing is the bong will let you take more smoke, which means you'll get higher quicker. The bubbler will be cooler than a pipe, but joints are better for starting out in my opinion.

Hope it all goes good for ya.

All of your responses are awesome. :) You guys/gals are seriously so cool and very helpful. I appreciate it VERY much! :)

Since I started smoking weed on a regular basis 4 or so months ago I rarely drink and when I do I don't get completely hammered like I used to. Its so nice not having the hangovers, puking, and feeling like crap anymore. Now when I am stressed out drinking is the last thing on my mind;) Also it really helps with my migraines. I just smoked the last of the half ounce i bought 4 months ago and need to find some more...(yes, i'm a lightweight and not able to smoke every day.)

SilverSpring07, I really hope that I will be that way as well. I'm actually getting really sick of feeling like shit the day after drinking. I'm a real vodka/diet soda drinker....and I'm getting VERY tired of it. I would LOVE to get a good buzz from weed and then let it wear off without the hangover. Wish me luck. ;)

Oh...and I'm sort of an exercise junkie..... so I'm always trying to avoid excess calories from the alcohol. Of course, now I have to worry about getting 'the munchies' :) hee hee;)

youll get used to it.


it feels weird because youve never been in that kind of state of mind before. youll learn to love it ;D

In regards to finding some bud, it sounds like you are doing the right thing for a cannabis newbie. Asking your friends is a good way to start, I know I don't speak for everyone but new cannabis smokers are always a pleasure to be around. Seems like many of us love taking you newbies under our guiding wings, it stresses the whole brotherhood/sisterhood aspect of cannabis. Ask your friend how you can find some weed, they may even offer to snag some for you when they pick up (as it sounds like they are now). Just becareful, I would never advise asking random people on the streets or even just random friends you know unless they smoke, a lot of people are not as open minded about smoking as you are, and it's a shame but they may try and get you in trouble (over a plant).

Secondly,
I agree with everyone who stresses moderation while smoking when you eventually do get some bud.

I've gone from smoking around 4 blunts a day (a huge waste imo) to about a joint a day (not even huge joints either, just a bit shy of 1/2 a gram in one o.O). After taking a break my tolerence decreased and I've been trying not to overload it. Smoking just 1/2 of a joint will get me moderately to very stoned and I'm quite comfortable with that. I guess the reason I am stressing this is because I can make an eigth last me a week (and a couple days if I dip into my roaches, but they are for emergencies), or a quater can last me two weeks.

You are very kind. I appreciate you (and thank you too, Cohelo) for not making me feel lame for being a newbie in this new world of cannabis smoking. :) I have felt very welcome from day one of finding this site... and it's because of people like you guys! ;)

My friend who is getting me some week this week (hopefully) has been a friend of mine for MANY years and is quite the educated pot smoker. He respects it and knows his stuff.... which is exactly why I called him and asked him for tons of info before I even asked if he could find me some. I asked which strains would be best...etc..etc.... :)

Thank you guys for making me feel very excited to learn more about this new world I'm getting into! :) Moderation is key... and I respect that rule in all aspects of my life. Thanks for all the great advice! :)
