High off one joint? (first time, sorry)

Yesterday I tried smoking for my first time but didn't get high - I now realize this was because I was swallowing the smoke rather than letting it fill my lungs, whoops... I'm going to attempt again tonight, but I was wondering how much I need to smoke. I know everyone's threshold is different, especially for first time, but if the weed is good can one small-ish joint give me a reasonable high? I don't need to be baked, I just want to feel something.

Keep in mind that I don't really have any pot-smoking friends. I'm utterly clueless and naive about how much it takes to get high, so opinions are appreciated.

 

yes one joint would be enough, just make a conscious effort to inhale into your lungs and then inhale oxygen and hold.

 

yeah one joint for sure can do it, espiecally if you don't smoke very much. if it's a good .5-1g of good weed, then you will have a fairly nice high.

 

If you smoke one nice joint of quality weed and inhale right your first time youll probably be extremely high. I did that when I first started and I would get soooooo high. You don't even really need that much. I did do mushrooms before I started smoking so I don't know if that had anything to do with it, but its just how it happened for me

 

Thanks everyone! I'm looking forward to tonight...hopefully I'll inhale properly this time. I don't mind making a few attempts, I just hate wasting the weed in the process since I didn't buy very much.

 

remember- if your not coughing its probably not getting into your lungs.

when you exhale, do so through your nose. if smoke comes out of your nose, youve inhaled properly.

have fun

 

Oh yea, you ought to be coughing up a lung if youve never smoked before

 

Smoke never comes out of my nose... I think I just have very bad sinuses.

 

Suck some smoke into your mouth, move the joint away, and take an enormous breath while not letting the smoke escape. Get that smoke to the bottom of your lungs! Yeah, you'll be high...

 

There should be an FAQ exclusievly for Cannabis, filled with the answers to all of these "n00b" questions. It could also be a place for people to post questions. Marijuana FAQ - All questions answered!

Example:

The 28th post might say:
"im smokeing for teh 1st tiem. how much shud i smoke i dont want 2 overdose."

Then the original post would be edited and the most worthy answer (Maybe a few different answers for each question)

Example:

Can I overdose on weed?
Hell no, although there is a such thing as getting too high, depending only on your personal preferences.

I know. And it's not very...good. I mean, it's unorganized and contains very little information. A lot of it doesn't go very deep into specific details, as well.

uh..what? : s

 

nevermind, i thought you were saying someone specific had 28 posts

 

i been smoking for about 2 years pretty consistently, and one joint still gets me waaayyyyyy ripped

 

Yeah, I love that.

Been smoking for a couple of years now, and one joint still gets the job done.

 

really? ive been smoking for 6 months and the first month i did i got so high i was in my after high for like 2 days after i did it now when i smoke i get a nice high buts im already coming down in an hour so in like 2 hours after i smoke im down. its kinda sad.

 

One J would be enough for me. PS: It took me like 5 tries to feel anything, and a couple more to be aware that I was feeling anything.

 

Heh, yeah, since I posted this I've tried twice more, and didn't get high either time. Tonight will be my fourth attempt....I'm really trying to concentrate on the breathing, I've taken all the things you guys have posted into account, but I still must be doing it wrong. I need to find a seasoned pot smoker to show me how to get the job done.

 

First time I got high I didn't feel shit. Second time though, I got pretty blazed. This might help you with your breathing... Inhale the weed smoke, then inhale air over that, keep it in, then let it slowly roll out your nose. I don't smoke weed like that (just cigarettes) though if you're having trouble breathing, it should help. Also, are you sure you're not smoking some oregano or some other weed rip-off?
