The effects are subtle, and you kind of have to let yourself go. The first time I got high, it probably took around 20 minutes for me to notice it. After becoming more familiar with the effects, I can feel it almost instantly after a big bong rip.

Relax, relax, relax.
Well said, Ceox.

Personally, it's never happened to me. This may sound kinda dumb, but I don't even know how to properly drag the smoke to just keep it in my mouth! I just automatically inhale... I don't know why really, I guess it's just second nature (or simply nature if you think about it ) to me now.

A close buddy of mine had this exact same problem though. I ended up finding out that he simply wasn't inhaling the smoke- he kept it in his mouth thinking he inhaled. We tried several ways, but each way he kept it in his mouth- joints, blunts, and the almighty hookah... nothing. Then once I had access to a bong, I hooked him up, and he got blaaaazed off his ass. Maybe it's just me but I dont think there isn't really a way you CAN'T inhale on a bong.

Also, the mood you're in also can determine your high... sorta like a trip but.. not. Haha... just make sure there are no distractions or anything that can make you worried or may scare you. Just be cool, and be relaxed. After you get comfortable with your high, you'll find out that it's sometimes EASIER to be around people when you're high

Keep on trying man. I suggest rippin a nice bong!
