What causes the first time to have no effect?

[Bob the Awesome]

I have a close friend, and we may have an opportunity in a month to have her smoke for the first time (Her parents are very strict and we're going to a concert which will take all day). It is the only opportunity we will have for a while, so I want to make sure it works for her the first time.

I do know that many first-time users don't get high, so what I would like to know is, what are some things we can do to lessen the chance of her not getting high the first time? Thanks in Advance.:dance:

It's almost always because theyre not inhaling properly. Just make sure she gets that shit in her lungs and she should be good.

first time i smoked i didnt get high. that was from a pipe. then i smoked out of a gravity bong (made out of a gallon of milk) and i got way high. then i smoked the pipe again and didnt get high. i dont know what it is, but like the first dude said, probably not inhaling right. but id give her the bong. just not too much. good luck

people always seem to have a hard time mastering the pipe in the very beginning. Something about the carb i guess.

I myself got fucking blazed my first time. I had been smoking cigarettes for a little while though, so i knew how to inhale. I'll always remember the first time because as soon as we finished smoking, we walked into his kitchen and he handed me a bag of doritos and was like "dude, taste these" and i fucking ate the whole bag. First time ever experiencing the munchies = amazing.

i think the reason first timers don't get high has to do with the receptors in the brain aren't used to thc. now i'm no expert on this but I didn't get high until I smoked about 5 times and I was inhaling properly. if you wanna get a first timer high smoke the best bud you can get and smoke enough of it. or just smoke a shitload of mids.

99.9% of the time its the inhaling, they suck the joint instead of inhaling it. Most are reluctant becuase of the burning sensation. an easier way is to suck up a fairly large amount, open your mouth a tiny bit and take a deep breath of air and hold it

[birdgirl73]

Cas got the reason right. Some people's cannabinoid receptors have to be awakened. And some are downright resistant to it. This resistance happens with other drugs, too. It often takes several exposures to weed before some people will start to feel its effects.

I HATE it when people have trouble inhaling. It's annoying because it's ridiculous how many people don't understand what "just inhale" means. How else do you explain how to do it?

I remember my first time smoking, I got blazed. I had experience with cigarettes perviously so I knew how to smoke. I think thats part of the reason. But still, for thoes with troubles inhaleing, just breathe it in like it's air, thats the best I can help.

[IllusionalFate]

I agree with the "cannabinoid receptors have to be awakened" theory, but there are two options that I believe may increase the risk of getting high the first time consuming cannabis.

1.) Eat it, don't smoke it
2.) If you do smoke it, smoke A LOT. Just have them take as many rips as possible until they're lungs are burning up to an almost unbearable degree. That, I think, would get just about anyone high their first try.

First smoke i had was great, wish it still had the same effect now. Me and my best friend led on her bed for 4 hrs laughing our tits off at nothing in particular. First bong was bad though and it was the last, didn't have a clue, put my lips OVER the bong which all my mates still take the piss for then had a major whitey. Been smoking 7years and still havn't done it again. Anyway hope she enjoys it. Have fun lol xx
