Tried Cannabis, Bad Experience

[dankman]

a friend with weed is a friend indeed

omg! eatin' the first time?! whoa
and ur wonderin how come it was so strong
lol.

and didn't you think of just rollin a J to try it out instead of starting to vape right away?

[FAllout]

I know a lot of people say that eating cannabis is mostly a body high, that was why it shocked me how it affected my head.

Don't get me wrong, this has changed my individual inclination towards drugs, but has not affected my beliefs that these substances should not be illegal. I just have to know how sensitive I am.

Please don't downplay my experience, Inferius. You are right that I am a poser and maybe I don't belong in the cannabis club. Feel whatever you want towards me, but know that I am a very nice person and accepting of people.

I have used Salvia before (chewing) and I didn't have a bad experience.

I don't regret it at all. We learn the most and can gain strength from our nightmares. Once you look down the abyss and fall, catching yourself and pulling yourself back up, you lose the fear of the unknown.

Knowing is always better than not knowing. Have some love, Inferius.

Give it a few more chances?

It will be worth it

Am I the only one that didn't get high till like the 6th or 7th time?

Don't give up. Everyone boasting about their experiences really don't have any worth telling without adding all the extra ego-nonsense inbetween. So just do what you do and be persistant because you really haven't been high unless you've experienced peace with the plant.

u should have just smokedddd it!!!

[Kezmondo]

I would never advise eating for a first experience it is far too intense and isnt even the effect you want to achieve from your first session. I would of thought you'd of known this with all your research and all.

Anyway dont give up on the weed it is the most beatutiful and natural thing you can dip into on a daily basis and it WILL change your life for the better if you just losen up a little and nail a few spliffs.

Peace and good luck

how much did you smoke each time ??

It's fair to say that, unfortunately, marijuana just isn't for everyone.

I can tell you're reasonably intelligent, but I think the fact that you read so much about it may have fucked up the experience for you. From reading and hearing so much about weed, your expectations must have been through the roof, and that is really not the way to go about it. Also, as many have said, it's really not smart to start out with marijuana by eating it. It's also true that many people have either no effect or an adverse effect their first few times, so please don't be discouraged by all this. Smoke it out of a pipe, a bong, a joint, or a blunt with an experienced friend, and if nothing really happens OR if you have another "bad" experience, simply try it again after awhile. If you finally experience a true, good high and still end up not liking it...well, it really isn't for everyone.

I strongly recommend giving it a few more tries, however. I know there's many of us on here who would love to introduce you to it the right way, if you lived anywhere near us.

Good luck. I hope you end up liking it, because, even though I'm on hiatus right now, this plant has improved the quality of my life.

I hope he'll give it another try sometime, too. And I hope he will come back here as well.

But I wouldn't blame him at all if he didn't, frankly, after reading some of the harsh responses he got. It's so important to let others have their own experiences, even if they don't correspond with ours or agree with our beliefs. Some of you who were the harshest with him surprised me because you're not usually that way.

Best of luck to you Snorbel, and please don't let this exchange permanently color your opinion of cannabis or cannabis users in a negative way. Sorry you had a bad experience!
