That's not a bad thing, really. Sometimes having a friend with you can kill a buzz if they are freaking out. And didn't you say that your friend is trying it for the first time too? Or am I thinking of another thread...?

My advice is not to pack a full bowl or smoke a whole joint at once for your first time. Take 1 hit, feel it out (make sure to snuff the bowl/whatever so you aren't wasting any smoke if it doesn't go out by itself). You should feel the effects within a few minutes. Then take another hit if you wish, and keep doing it until you reach a desired state. Smoking too much your first time could definitely not be good, so take it easy. There's no need to smoke a lot of it, especially for your first time. Save the weed binges for when you are more experienced :-P.

Generally, if it's dank, you will only need 1-2 hits for your first time, to be really high. If it's mids, take 2-3 hits... it's all personal preference, but I would still advise against smoking a full bowl your first time. I did my first time, and it wasn't a good experienced. Almost completely turned me off of sinsemillia.

Have a great time, dude. Also, if you do start to get paranoid (REMEMBER: IT'S ALL PSYCHOLOGICAL), convince yourself you're all right (I know, I make it sound easier than it really is), and call up a friend to talk to. Talking to friends if you're paranoid is always comforting. Just chill out, relax, and don't fight the high. Go with the flow.

But also remember that there is a chance that you won't feel high your first time. This is mainly due to either not knowing how to inhale properly, inactive cannabinoid receptors, or not realizing you're high. If you don't feel high after taking some hits properly, get up and do something else. I noticed that if I am sitting down, and I am not feeling much, and I get up, I will suddenly feel a lot higher. For instance, sometimes when I am high, and I need to drive somewhere, I feel less high when I am driving (driving while high is a very serious thing for me, so psychologically I get more serious, and I feel less high because I am tense), but when I am done driving, my high skyrockets.

I hope it all works out good for you, dude.
