a good way to do it is when you go to smoke, make sure you are completely relaxed. that means DONT SMOKE WHILE DRIVING! make sure you are in a comfortable place, preferably with some mellow music playing, and smoke slowly and build up to larger amounts so you dont get so high you freak out again.

have a good toke and welcome to the boards:thumbsup:

As Dopefiend stated, set and setting.

Your mindset, and your setting. If you're already unnerved and in an unfamiliar place, a high is a bad bad thing. If you're happy as can be, and in your room, you'll have an amazing high.

Second, once again, moderation is key. Just because you can smoke five bowls doesn't mean you should.

Smoke with good friends if possible, a joint shared is worth two in the bush... or something.

Start with a little and work your way up

don't smoke with the intention of getting stoned. there's nothing wrong with just taking a couple of hits to catch that faint buzz. it's like drinking a quick beer to relax at the end of the day. far too many wannabes feel they have to smoke to excess every time, many times it's just a waste of good weed. it's supposed to be fun and being completely out of control is seldom fun.

well, sometimes being completely out of control is a blast, but that's another matter entirely.
