Pot for the first time

I'm thinking of trying pot for the first time with some friends, but I wanted to ask a few questions first.

Can someone explain to me what you feel and stuff?
Like, do you say things that you don't want people to know that kind of just come out?
How long before it wears off and you feel normal again?
I really want to, but I'm kind of stand offish right now....can anyone help me here? haha thanks

 

Its near impossible to describe a high. I can almost guarentee that youll love it though.
You wont say things that you dont want people to hear unlike with alcohol.
Depending on the weed, the high will probably last around 3 hours.

Since its your first time you might not get high. I didnt get high until my 3rd time.
Id say do it, its hands down my favorite way to alter life.

 

Why? Why do people want so badly to get high? I don't know, I guess I've just never really understood it...

 

If ya wanna feel hungry, horny, and tired, go right ahead.

 

What dont you understand Lucifer? Getting high is a wonderful thing....go right ahead surfhipe

 

haha hmm...contradicting voices...

 

Well, I didn't tell you not to do it, I simply asked why you want to... it's not like it's the *cool* thing to do.

 

gettin high really can be a wonderful beautiful thing, it can be really ugly also, whether drugs lead to degredation or illumination depends on the spirit in which one takes them(george andrews)

people wanna get high for a lot of reasons, one being people are never satisfied with the current situation, they dont think this is all, there must be more to it, and in some senses their very right, and others they are terribly wrong. some are simply curious, which isnt necesarily bad...some simply want to have a good time and enjoy themselves which is cool too, another could be for the social benefit of fitting in, another is a tool to cleanse the doors of perception and to see things how they are meant to be, and dare i say learn something from the experience...

 

also, check out erowid.org for what you might experience, just go into it with an open and relaxed state of mind, go for it, just be smart

some people can act "straight" really easily, some have a really hard time with it, it really varies from person to person how long you feel it or how str8 you can act, everyone is different...

 

I felt the same as you do till I tried it the first time, you'll know when it's right, but don't force yourself because you think it's expected.

I definatly didn't get high till prolbably my second or third time. It's hard to describe how you'll feel, but it's nothing intense, and you'll feel normal in about 3 or 4 hours, I'd say only take like one hit your first few times, I still only take one. Honestly, it's so mild that after a few hours you just kinda realize it wore off, no big drop or anything like that.

good luck sister, let us know how it all goes

 

i would take more to make sure i get high, but thats just me, but now that im really experienced, all i need is a couple of tokes and im good to go

 

see, I'm just a one hit wonder, one hit and I'm good for a day or 2, and after getting too high for my own enjoyment a couple times I say take one, 2 tops especially when you don't know your limits yet, but it's all personal choice.

 

Pot is good sometimes, Sometimes pot is bad, For some people pot makes em high, and full of laughs, or peace. Some people get deep, and loving, and completely free. Some write poetry, and paint murals on their car.. it opens doors, which ones it does is completely individual.

 

I'd all of you are completly right getting high does open doors like it was mentioned I get really peacful and caring when I get high, and to answer I question the reason why like to get high is because it frees your mind from the world for a couple hours So you don't have to deal with the stress of everyday life. I didn't get high on my first time either. I think the it wa the second or third time alls that happend was I got the giggles and thought everthing was funny.



P.S.
Ima Newbie but I love you all anyway

Peace

 

if you are under emotional stress right now, do not smoke. thats prolly the worst feeling ever
first time i smoked, i dont think i got high..... i know first time i smoked last year i didnt, t just gave me a headache. everytime after that tho, woooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

have fun

 

the first time my friend got high he and his friend smoke 3 grams together(throughou the day) and needless to say he got high...then the next day they where fine.

i am probbly going to try it in a week and i really cant wait

i know so much about the plant and i think its amazing
so i thought i should experince it

and i am goint to grow in a mounth or 2

 

More like altering reality though... I don't believe in escaping reality. I take it as - Shit happens, either figure it out or deal with it. Too many people fuck up their lives if they're doing it because of pressure.

 

Marijuana effects every user differently because of the way by which it effects users neurologically. Some people get high and are very happy and creative. Some people get high and experience incredible depression, paranoia, anti-social behavior and complete lethargy (I.E. nearly dibilitating sleepiness). Others experience A-Motivational Syndrome over time; they no longer feel that 'real life' obligations are "for them" and subsequently become very apathetic toward homework (H.S. or college student), house work, hygeine and certain other obligations such as driver's license renewal, and even merely searching for and obtaining a job. A-Motivational Syndrome is most common among young smokers though, and doesn't generally effect those who smoke A:recreationally and/or B:after a certain mental maturity has been achieved. This is a very good reason not to start smoking Marijuana, if your going to smoke Marijuana, until atleast age 19 or 20 and even at that age, College is so tough that, if you go to college, I wouldn't recommend smoking in this period of your life. If you're going to smoke in college, like I do, make sure you don't smoke constantly, as Marijuana certainly does not make you more industrious or motivated. I've had friends who said it made them work harder, but these are very same friends that are at home all night talking to me about how they "missed dead-line" because they procrastinated too much, so I don't know how true it is that Marijuana can make anyone more industrious, but I've been told it can, and that's all I can say on that issue as it certainly does not make me more industrious or motivated. A-Motivational Syndrome is a fact-based clinical illness, but can be seen as something that is not important, if you do, in fact, want to live a life outside of society's norms. In other words, if you like being broke and living in a van, A-Motivational Syndrome isn't really much of a concern for you. This is not to say that if you smoke Marijuana you are going to end up sleeping in a van, but Marijuana has been shown to cause in young people a disease that can easily lead to such an outcome.

With all this said, I'm a bit of a midnight toker, and have only experienced mild absent mindedness. I think with Marijuana, as with a select few other vices, moderation and self-discipline are the key. A high can be a very deep experience that spawns very deep thought, but if you do experience most of the aforementioned symptoms, you obviously shouldn't continue smoking it. Like I said, there are different effects for different individuals, and it's not right for some people. Lethargy can depend on the strain of the species of Cannibis. "Ditch-weed" is very often going to produce a head-ache and sleepiness, whereas a high-quality strain, such as Lebanese Red will not induce any form of sleepiness.

Very often you might feel out of control of a situation when you're high, and if you don't like this feeling don't smoke Marijuana. It causes inexperienced users not to be able to react effectively to an otherwise normal situation. For example, my friend's car alarm went off while he was accessing his back door. Instead of simply putting in the key, unlocking the door and subsequently turning off the alarm, he ran into his house, and asked me how to turn off his own car alarm. Pot, depending on how much you smoke, the potency of the strain and your level of experience can very often cause you to feel completely out of your element, which is sometimes presented as saying things that don't make any sense, or presenting an obviously flawed argument. Needless to say, it doesn't help your reasoning skills. If you don't get too high, you'll probably never experience any feeling this intense. You'll generally feel in control, and even on the best Marijuana, you're more in control of yourself and a situation than while drunk (a good reason not to drink). You still don't have to worry about actually saying things you don't want others to hear, or revealing something you don't want presented to the world (whatever that might be ). You still know where you are and who you're with, but you're not completely congnisant, which is why you often say things that make absolutely no sense, or fuse together 2 or 3 arguments into one. They say that smoking under familiar lights and in familiar settings is a good place to get high your first few times, so you don't flip-out and feel very out-of-place. The only familiar place I could think of would be my home, but maybe you're out at a friend's house a lot, that might be a good place, too. Certainly don't smoke your first few times walking down the street, at a "freind's friend's house" or out in public anywhere. Not unless you want to come close to having a heart-attack from paranoia. I guess that last line isn't really founded, but it's a pothead "rumor" if you will. It certainly held true for me. I smoked my first time at a stranger's house and was extremely freaked out.

Basically I'd say that if you're going to start smoking pot, atleast wait 3 or 4 years (which is hard, I'm sure), and don't do it constantly. If you insist on smoking in the present you risk slowing emotional maturity and apathy due to A-motivational syndrome, but this is not always the case of those who start smoking while they've not yet reached a level of true mental maturity don't always end up 'disconnecting' this way. Just like any other disease, it has a cause, and just like any disease, that cause is still very ambiguous. No one is entirely certain that Marijuana is the cause for this syndrome. Teens can be lazy and anti-social without ever having smoked Marijuana, but most of those teens don't simply disconnect and never reconnect again.

This is a pretty long post (and honestly, I don't expect anyone but you, Surfpipe, to actually read the entire thing, but that's okay, it was not a response intended for anyone else but the original poster), but I believe that I have some pretty good insight, my being an unbiased, otherwise sober, 'straight' individual. I don't have an alterior motive here, or an agenda, because I don't drink and I don't smoke cigarettes. I'm not one of those "arm-chair" lobbyists who wants to dish you out something entirly irrelevant and useless to get you to simply not smoke Marijuana, and to persuade you that my other vice of choice is more legitimate or more dignified in one way or another. I'm simply a recreational smoker who has his opinions on Marijuana. It's a beautiful drug, but I'm afraid too many people use it much too often, at much too early an age. If you decide to smoke in the present, just do it responsibly and show a little discipline and you'll have a fairly safe, enjoyable experience. And again, if you start to feel uncomfortable around people you once felt very comfortable around, if you begin to feel incredibly depressed or self-loathing, it's time to quit smoking. It's just not for you.
