ok, ok, ok

I liken your first few times being high as a baby's first few days in the world. Everything is foreign and new, you will experience a hightening in your senses like very few other activities can provide. With continued use you will find that relaxing and allowing yourself to be at peace are key. Also, as with any psychedelic substance, two of the most important factors to your experience are set and setting. Weed tends to take any emotion or mental state of being and amplify it. So naturally your first few attempts will be underlined with some anxiety and apprehension due to the newness of the experience. If you smoke around people that you don't trust, or that you have a bad history with, or if your parents would disapprove then most likely you will not enjoy it as opposed to being surrounded in a safe environment with people who you trust and love.

Yes, your heart rate does increase, but not even as much as moderate exercise can provide, the only difference is that with weed minute details are so much more exagerated, so it may actually feel like your heart is about to explode. That's where the key to weed, as with many other drugs, come into play. You must force yourself to remember that you are still in control of yourself. Do not let it control you and it won't. You're not going to do anything you don't want to do while high. In fact, many long-time partakers often wax poetically on the initial days of smoking, due to this reckless and new feeling. But for me I find that with continued use, I have learned to master my "high self" and that's when I began to truly enjoy and appreciate what it can do. Reading on these message boards is always a good idea, as there are many veterans and like-minded individuals with decades of experience who are more than willing to help out someone new to our kindred plant. Here is what I would suggest: try listening to some music that you enjoy, or read through the threads and get some music that others enjoy while high. Write down some of your thoughts. Watch fantasia. Cook your favorite foods before you smoke and lo and behold when the munchies inevitably kick in, you'll have a feast waiting for you to dig in to.

For me, trying out new activitie when high is like doing them for the first time. That's one of the aspects that really draws me to the experience. You'll be offered the chance to experience life from a completely new point of view. But in the end, if you truly don't enjoy it then simply don't do it. Weed, like other facets of life, is in the end not for everyone. But I would say at the least give yourself a chance to get more accustomed to the experience before you eliminate it from your hobbies.

^Thats everything you need to know to have a good high^

shiscobob everything you described about the first time you got high sounds exacly like the first time I got high. The heart racing, the shaking, the dry mouth, couldn't eat, all of that happened to me. so a week or two later one of my friends, who I trust, took me up to his room and we hit a bong together and i had a great time. So just surround yourself with a great atmosphere, relax, take your time, and you'll most likely enjoy yourself.

[Wishville]

[shiscobob]

so what can i do to make sure my next time is a good time, even if its by myself?

[Nocturnal Stoner]

i would say just chill (stereotypical stoner words) but its true, i used to go for long walks like a mile with a joint the fresh air calms you down and brings on a creeping high that hits you when you least suspect it, just chill, take a couple of tokes walk summore an also listen to music, it just calms you down seriously, also dont do it in a dodgy room, do it sumwer were u feel safe, your room, bathroom or garden, i really like standing in the garden s having a joint and look into the sky.

I love your description of your first time, reminds me of my first time too, im realy baked now but hope the advise helps.

hmm i read all these threads bout that shit happening first time, i never got like that i never got so out of control, my first high is just like when i got high today cept the tolerance n shit

[mowie wowie]

That's why you don't smoke good weed your first time, nor your first few times... common sense man, you just weren't ready. Start with some shitty weed and work your way up.

And to a previous poster, why ask if he has adhd? I have adhd and it means nothing.
