Why don't people get high on their first try?

It's the strangest thing. I don't get why people have to smoke a few different times in order to get stoned for real. Does anyone have any idea why this is?

 

It could be their mind set, but most likely they aren't hitting/holding good or smoking good enough of weed

 

think of it as charging a new cell phone battery haha

u have to let the battery Drain Fully, then Charge Fully to create a "memory" within it to know when it's charged fully

i think thats how it kinda works, the fat cells which abosrb THC have to get used to it and know how to use it

 

They ust don't hit the pipe/blunt/bong/joint in the right way because they have no idea what they are doing

 

digital, I dunno, I got high as hell my first time. I think it's poor method that causes people to not get stoned.

 

same here, or else I probably wouldn't have tried again....

 

most likely method. a friend of mine recently tried his first, and when i asked how much he did, he said he took 4 hits. then i smoked with him, and he smoked 3-4 bowls to himself, and he was crazzzyy

 

its definatly method, a lot of new tokers dont know how to inhale. A friend of mine was like that and this girl had to give him a couple of shotguns to get him baked, and it was his first time but he freaked out a little bit.

My first time I kept asking the guy I was with if I was high. Then I realized I was. My first hit I coughed like a mofo. I dont really cough anymore unless its harsh, or reaaal strong.

 

It's probably a combination of not knowing what to do, and not knowing what's really going to happen to themselves. Who knows, maybe some people get nervous about being caught their first time?

 

Its not inhaling. Me thinks.

 

my first time i was obliviated, of course I smoked a bowl and 3 bongs. whitch brings up a good point, you can't help but hit a bong right. in Fact the less you know the more likely you get a gigantis hit.oh how i remember my first. In fact i even threw up from such a big hit but man did i love it

 

it could be with the people that they are with, and if they are teaching them to inhale it right. the first time i smoked was amazing...igot so high. Althought it took a few tries to get high, they told me to just "smoke like your sucking on a straw", and that really worked.

 

ive got a friend stoned on first go, i led him through it step by step with a joint and a bong. anotehr guy, we smoked a few joints but he only got stoned alter when we showed him how to use the bong. however after smoking the joints, he did get the phenomenom of a 'begginer's high'. as did a few otehr of my friends who tried it for the first time

 

I think it is a purely physical thing. I DID get high my first try, but not immediately - it took like half an hour to come on. I was with a couple of friends. They gave me an entire joint, so I smoked it and complained for awhile that it didn't do anything. Then about thirty minutes later, I suddenly felt very strange. I sat down against an electrical box and felt myself and the world around me stretching out indefintely. Then within a few seconds I got used to it and just felt high. Every smoke since then I've been able to feel the weed as soon as it entered my lungs.

I also got a friend started. We smoked like six bowls straight with him once, and nothing happened. He was definitely hitting it right - I could see huge plumes of smoke billowing out of his mouth after every hit. We finally got him high on like our sixth try.

 

hehehe its so good with newbs,

i feel so privileged ive done it with about 5 of my friends, is pretty awesome, if they get high.

 

It has nothing to do with method.
Digitalldj got it right; the THC had to create a 'path' to the cannibanoid receptors to your brain, or "wake them up".
Add to this many people are apprehensive the first time they smoke pot. This may create chem's in the brain that tend to block the receptors.

Some people seem to have more of these receptors than others. I know people can get wasted on a few hits. On the other hand, my brother hardly gets high when he smokes pot (he first smoked pot in the 70's). Everyone else can be Chinese-eyed, he's got a mild buzz at most.

 

mmmm its not method i was smoking for about 3 months before i actually got high, i was smoking decent amounts and all i got was a little buzz but then one time i did the exact same thing and it WAS DIFFERENT. fascinating. really.

 

yea, i think alot of the ppl who smoke for the first time, and just feel like "a little high" or think they are high are just experiancing a Placebo effect

 

It's one thing to take big hits, but it's another to inhale deep enough. A lot of new smokers just inhale to to upper part of their lungs.

And digital, there is no way my first high was placebo or just a "little buzz"...I was completely stoned.
