I got high the first time, but not even close to as high as I got the second time. The first time I smoked two joints with someone else, out in the woods, I think it was schwag and they were real thin joints. The second time I hot boxed an explorer with a fat ass blunt full of decent nug, it was snowing and we were lost. It was one of the more intense moments of my life. I think technique has alot to do with why people don't get high the first time. There may be something chemically different in your brain like with cigs after the first time you smoke, but I don't know anything about that.
