Yes of course... It is a great time to do it. Don't worry about if it's intense or not. If you have the mindset that getting intensely stoned is good and you dont allow your mind to get caught up in the "I'm so fucked up" thoughts then you will have fun. It can be crazy for your first time... but definately handleable. The key is just relax. Maybe wait like 10 minutes after you take a few hits before you take more so you dont end up more stoned then you want. Good weed can get you way fucked up in 2 or 3 hits if you haven't smoked in a while... Fat bong tokes that is... Good luck man

P.S. I wouldn't drink if you plan on getting way stoned. One or two drinks won't hurt you, but being way drunk and stoned is not enjoyable to me.
