chainsaw1234 this is all i know (its not much though ). i'v been drunk and i'v been stoned, being stoned is much better for several reasons:
1. you don't have a hangover (unless u smoke some seeds then u get a killer headach)
2. well i can't think of any others (i'm a little high rite now) but i'm sure there are some.
but for your first time smoking you might not feel anything, thats, fromwhat i'v heard, normal. most of your questions have been answered already so i'm just gonna give u some gerneral advice. have fun with weed it's a helluva lot better than alcohol and it won't mess u up as bad as some other drugs can.
