The first few times that I tried pot, I didn't get the least bit high (maybe just a little giggly) and I know the reason for this! One word: joint. I now despise the joint, its pointless. I have never gotten high from a joint, and I have used it correctly. The first time I smoked out of a pipe, WHAM! I was so fucked up, I forgot who I was, where I was. Maybe it's just me, but I prefer bongs and pipes, in my opinion they amplify the weed.
