Hey, Tastemaker. Congrats, I think, on your first time.

Let me ask you a couple of Qs. You said you threw up. Were you by any chance drinking while y'all were toking? Or perhaps coughing a lot since this was your first time? Either of those things could easily explain getting sick at your stomach.

And your friend who had the panic attack . . . is he prone to those anyway? Could his imagination perhaps have gotten the better of him about what he was smoking? Panic happens a good bit, especially when emotions are running high and there's the excitement of a new and mysterious substance (even if he's not a totally new smoker, I get the feeling you're both fairly young).

Make sure you're smoking unadulterated weed from a trustworthy source and try and chill out. I'm sure these things won't continue to happen. And if they do, well, you'll just have to do without. . .
