my first time--had kind of a weird experience

well, i smoked weed for the first time last night with a couple of my friends. i took about 3 pretty good hits from a bowl. at first i didn't feel much. my legs felt a little wobbly, but that was pretty much it. then about 15 minutes later my face started turning a little numb, and everything was about 5 times funnier.

it was all good and fun until about an hour in, i started getting this really weird feeling. it's really hard to explain, it didn't feel like i was doing anything. it seemed like i was just watching myself through a TV. i was still walking around and talking, but i felt really "distant". but that wasn't the bad part. after a while, nothing seemed... real. i know it sounds really weird, but it felt like everything was an illusion or something. i had this really strong sense that the universe was just one big illusion. that's really the only way i can explian it. all i know is that it was not pleasant, and it was a really scary sensation. but after about 20 or 30 minutes the feeling wore off, and after that it was a pretty good time

what i want to know is, is that normal? has anyone else ever had any weird/scary experiences like that on their first time?

 

man your lucky i wish i could get that same feeling now. i smoke everyday now and it takes so much to get the feeling of when you first smoked. that sounds to me about like what i try to get to when i smoke. now for me to get close to that level i need to smoke alot of weed or some hash. that sounds like the typical first time effects from what you have discribed. if you smoke more you will get used to it. the first few times are the best and if you continue to smoke it will be harder to get that same feeling because ur used to it.

good luck man and welcome to hipforums hope that first experience didnt scare you away from smoking again.

 

Was it kinda like your body was a shell and you were just in it for the time being, your body just doing what you told it to do?

I get that the day after if I go to sleep high sometimes. I have no clue why...

 

yeah! that's pretty much exactly what it was like. except along with it i had this strong sense that nothing was real and that the whole word actually did not exist, like it was nothing but an illusion.

it was pretty scary, but i guess i'll get used to it. thinking back on it, it was pretty cool at the same time.

@DonVito: heh, well, i guess it's just because i'm a noob when it comes to this stuff. after all, that was the first time in my life that i've ever been intoxicated on anything. don't worry, i'll definitely do it again.

 

It's like your body, mind, and soul are all separated.

 

when i first smoked i felt like i wasnt in my body either. like i was just watching myself or something. dont be scared of that once you smoke more youll love it

EDIT: also when i first smoked i was like "this is a nice feeling and all but i dont know why so many people absolutley LOVE IT."
but after a while you do love it

 

it wasn't the detached feeling that sucked, it was the feeling of the whole universe being an illusion that scared me. i can't really explain how it was, but that's actually how it felt. nothing seemed real at all. i felt like i was in a dream, except it was about 10 times worse. i dunno, that's the best way i can explain it. i guess i was just absolutely RIPPED.

 

I get that feeling sometimes. Just think of it as your soul being unleashed or freed from your physical state of being. also if it gets too weird say this to yourself ( out loud is even better) " I'm just high on weed and I will just (float) with these feelings until they pass." Just relax and don't freak yourself out from over-thinking. remember its just pot.

 

i have a good story.

the first time i was really stoned i could like feel my blood pumping through my viens. and like when my friends talked, it was shit they said like the pervious week in a different conversation. my friends where talking about tractors, and i remembered that eariler, my friend and i took this guy up to the gas station and we talked about the same thing. in this conversation he said YEE HAW. right when i thought that, he said it. i closed my eyes and saw big red drawn x's and raindrops. then like my brain looked inside my body and i had no other organs. just an alien running on a tredmill to pump my blood. about 20-30 minutes left, it wore off, thank god, and i was just normally high.

it was sooooo weird. it was freaking me out. i didn't remember i was a light weight and am small so it fuckin knocked me over.

=]

 

enjoy the highs you get now

 

A lot of people feel like shit when they smoke weed. It happens.

 

or how about all UNIFIED?

keep in mind that weed is a psychoactive drug. while it´s very benign, it is also very powerful, but in a softer way... know what I mean? even if you´re "freaking out" because you´re just too high, it´s still pretty mild and you know you´ll be OK.

this is the beginning of your journey of exploring consciousness and perception and whatever else you find along the way. it really is a long, strange trip...

 

I always thought it felt like i was dreaming when i got very high, especially the first few times.

 

That's wierd I got the same feeling whilst I was tripping on acid....strange

 

thats because it IS one big illusion. but dont worry, you're still just as real as everything else... in the illusion that is.

 

Life isn't an illusion. Watch your friend get killed and then tell me everything's just a game.

 

1. illusion and game are two different things
2. having a friend die does nothing to disprove the idea that the universe in an illusion

 

I miss the feeling of the first ever getting stoned.

 

this was last week and i have smoked plenty of times...its acually kind of funny
my friend and i had 2 bowls of dank weed out of a bong..and we so FUCKIN! high

we had a 1 hour conversation about ABSOLUTELY! nothing.
it was about connections
and we went through 2 whole bags of hearshy kisss

haha that was a great moment

 

I definitely get that dissociated feeling, where it's as if I'm viewing everything through a movie screen or something. Sometimes I have stoned thoughts that lead to fear, but usually it's not a wholly unpleasant feeling. It's scary in the same way as horror movies. It's thrilling.
