I smoked about 8 times until I got high. take it slow and get used to it. if you're coughing hard right away you're inhaling too much. remember: it's not a competition.

it also helps to get in a fresh breath of oxygen right after your hit. (if you're not inhaling correct, you'll feel the smoke go down from your mouth to your lungs. nobody told me that when i was getting into it.)

happy blazing.
