Since it will be your first time, I suggest you smoke with someone.

Buy the weed from someone you personally know and trust or have them buy it for ya. God, Last thing you need is for you as an, inexperienced first timer, to go out and buy from someone you don`t know only to get busted or get ripped off.

Green or dark green weed is good...stay away from the brown crap.

About the strains, yes there are hundreds of different types of marijuana strains....some are stronger and some taste different with different effects..etc..but you have plenty of time to get into that later.

After you smoke, be prepared to get the munchies... be sure to have alot goodies to eat or drink... Pop in a good CD..Play some wicked video games or rent some funny stoner flicks.

And finally, Don`t over do it...meanin you don`t want to start out by smoking 24/7. Don`t make a habit out of it. Make it a weekend thing.
As a youngster, you don`t want to start out by smoking out and sitting in your bed or sofa everyday...that stuff will robb you of your ambitions in life if you`re not carefull. Just be cool and have fun.
There`s nothing better than your first time..So Have fun and enjoy it while it lasts.:rasta:
