Pot is really only intense when you first start smoking it (or for some a little after you first start smoking it..depending on if you're capable of taking substantial hits yet or not)..as your tolerance builds up though you'll find that you feel less crazy and more just mellow...I've been smoking everyday throughout the day for about a year..and pot really doesn't do much to me anymore except kill my feelings of boredom and chill me out...

I have had a friend though that smoked some Afgoo kief with me...he NEVER smokes...he's smoked like 3x in his life and they were all with me...anyways, he took two hits and held his breath as long as he could..man he was wrecked..i've never seen anyone react that way to weed...he was petting walls, making weird noises, passing in and out..he threw up..etc...and I was just sitting there laughing my arse off the whole time at him (haha)...anyways..moral of the story- don't judge the effects of weed by how you react when you first start smoking, because thats the only time it will be like that...the rest of your life when your tolerant to it, it's just a nice way to mellow out
