ya i agree w/ nullific, ive always heard it was b/c they dont know how to inhale right, i got high my first time but id smoked a hookah and other stuff b4, but anyways incase ur super new, inhale w/ ur diaphram not ur mouth then hold the smoke in for 5 seconds, ive heard its the opportune time, anymore and ur not getting any extra thc, any less and ur not getting all the thc, but other than that u might try simple things like having an empty stomach, and sitting down, they only really help for how hard it first hits u, but hey then ull know it when ur high, or mayb u got sold some shit and ur wastin ur time, lol not a happy thought but it has happened, good luck man, i really hope u get high its an awesome feeling
