When I smoked, I preferred doing it by myself. I would just do whatever I wanted. I didn't have to entertain anybody else. I didn't have to take anybody else's ideas into consideration. I could draw or write or get lost in my thoughts, watch a movie or surf the net. I could go for a walk.... Then again, I prefer to be alone anyway. But, for the first time, I don't think I'd recommend doing it alone just in case you have a bad reaction or something. Weed gave me terrible anxiety sometimes. It was always nice to have someone to anchor me back into reality when that happened. You probably won't get anxiety, but just in case, I would let someone know you're smoking and might need their help if you decide to do it alone. That way if you do freak out, you'll have someone you can call to help you.
Definitely be with friends your first time. Being with people your first time helps put the experience in context. However, you should also definitely try it alone at least once. I can focus on the effects and have a much more intense session with the same amount of weed when I'm alone. They can be 2 totally different experiences.
I'd reccomend being around one other friend that is also high and has been before. then you can do shit on your own or with them. I enjoy alone highs much more, I find them introspective and spiritual. however, I've always had a ton of fun when with friends. I'd say its not a big deal either way. good to you
you will pry want to tell someone everything that you feel and think about. but I stress that being alone is super too, and could be better for your first time.
You will have a good time doing both. Smoking with friends is fun, and you will get to laugh and make an ass out of your self. Smoking alone on the other hand is very theraputic. I prefer smoking alone, drinking socially. Smoking alone, listening to some sublime, or whatever floats your boat. Or if you're a sport fan, getting blazed before the game and watching is really nice. Same with reading a good book, you could really go places so to say.
i would suggest being with an experienced friend or sibbling to show you the ropes. and so you dont act like a totally rude noob, read chapter 1-9 on this site: http://www.smokingwithstyle.com/weedetiquette.htm
first time, i would smoke with friends, but after that not a big difference if you toke with or without friends, unless you just like talking to people, unless you talk to yourself.....i know it helped out alot having friends there to help me with my questions my first time.
First time I smoked was with a friend, but I didn't get high until the fourth time when I was alone. Now I usually only get high with friends, and it's really great.
alone is good sometimes. i like to smoke weed alone, cause most ppl are mouchers around here. but friends are good to have and can keep you chill when your tripping shrooms and stuff.
