Took my first hit ever last weekend...WHAT HAPPENED?

[unconscious]

I sketched out like fucking crazy my first time, and I haven't ever gotten paranoid again after smoking.

[TheSmokingMonkey]

I am a 33 year old female and took my first hit of pot last weekend (I know... I know.... it took me awhile to try it!)

I bought my own glass pipe at a tobacco shop and my friend supplied the pot. I took two hits total.... and I was fine with inhaling (although it burned like hell the second time!)

I felt like something was "strange" at first... and then slowly...I began to worry about EVERYTHING! "do I look stupid?" Will I ever feel normal? What time is it? Will I be able to drive home? Will I have a panic attack?" blah..blah..blah..

I do suffer from panic attacks and anxiety (I take Lexapro and the occasional xanax) and so I was really hoping pot would help calm me down.

Is this normal for a first timer to be so paranoid? Did I smoke too much? too little? Should I have rolled a joint mixed with tobacco instead of using a pipe? Did my surroundings effect my high?

I want to try it again so badly.. but I don't want to feel worried and paranoid and anxious. Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance for any replies.

My husband cannot smoke. He has taken antianxiety medication, including xanax, for several years. When he smokes, he freaks out about everything, and eventually vomits. His first few times were fine but now he just can't do it.

Sometimes I think it is a mental barrier, but the vomiting makes me think there is something physical that prohibits him from having a good time.

Anyway, be cautious, and never mix w/ alcohol.

try smoking a joint its a fuck load smoother ,

the reason it was so harsh is cos u smoked it in a pipe the first time u smoked....i find this way of smoking harsh now and i been smoking 6-7 years

and the calmness WILL COME BELEIVE

same thing happened to my g/f the first few times she smoked, there was nothing i could have said to calm her down. that 3rd time tho, wow was she happy!

Just an update:

My friend had pot with her yesterday.... so I agreed to do only ONE small hit. I didn't want to get all paranoid again...so I was taking all your advice and trying it again..but much more slowly!

Anyway... like I said, it was a small hit.... but I have to say.... I felt more relaxed... no anxiety.... just sort of an strange "buzzy/numb" sensation. It was so suttle, I had no idea if I was just feeling the alcohol I had drank earlier or if it was from the hit..... but regardless... no anxiety... and it felt a lot better!

I'm ready to go again!!!!!! :thumbsup:

Kush is your new best friend.

Find it.

And you will be very, very relaxed and happy.

Just don't eat too much ; )

And you are correct about the indica. Strong sativa strains can trip you out and make your heart race.

Kick back on some medical (if you can find it, I don't know your location) or something indica dominant.

O and ahead of time, pre-pick some of your favorite music and have it ready to play.

I think I may have scored some kush. A friend of a friend of mine is picking some up for himself next week... he said he'd score me some! I'm so excited!
