Looking for that first good high!!! Help!!!

Looking for tips, tricks, advice and personal experiences. I’m trying to get a "good high!”

Here’s the story:

I’m 40 years old and had never tried pot. Never been around it actually. Just missed that whole boat and have lived my whole life as a “square.”

Then about 6 months ago, I started dating a woman who likes to get high. No, she LOVES to get high! She’s 36 and has been getting high for about 20 years. And she does about 2 or 3 times a week. But since she knew I was a “square,” she just didn’t do it around me for the first few months. She told me about her "hobby," but she did it when we weren’t together, usually when I was at work.

After we became an exclusive boyfriend/girlfriend thing, she started bringing it up in conversation more and more. Seems it’s a pretty important part of her life, and she felt that I needed to be accepting of that part of her life if we were going to be in a relationship. I agreed.

So, I told her, “Come on over to my place and get high with me. I’ll just chill and have a beer while you get high and we’ll watch a movie” She was really, really happy I was “down” enough to agree to that.

So she did and I watched her get high. Holy cow.

She brought over her little glass mini-bong bubbling water pipe. She took one hit, held it in for like 5 seconds and exhaled. It was practically instant. Five seconds later, she was “high.” She got that glassy eyed, relaxed look on her face, and was feeling GOOD! Then she set the pipe down for a minute or two, and just looked really relaxed and happy. Then she picked up the pipe, took one more hit, and that relaxed, happy, feeling-good look on her face DOUBLED!

So I asked her what it felt like. She said: “I can’t really describe it, it just feels really, really GOOD! Wow, this is some really good pot! I’m so fuckin’ high and I feel GREAT!”

And for the next 4 hours I sat next to my girlfriend, while she experienced something supremely good. And supremely good on a level I had never experienced in my life!

I was jealous! I want to feel that good!

So I asked her to get me high the following weekend. She agreed. Here’s how that went down…

She took one hit, and as before, instantly got “high.”

I took a hit, and felt nothing.

She took another hit, and as it had the previous weekend, her “high” doubled.

Then I took another hit, and still felt nothing.

Then she took a third hit, and told me I had probably had enough. But I was still feeling nothing at all, and I took a third hit myself.

Still… Nothing…

So I took a fourth hit, and she tried to stop me but she was too late. But I said: “Hey, I’m feeling nothing at all, could I be immune to this stuff?” She assured me I wasn’t immune to it, but that I’d had enough and needed to stop. So I did.

But there I am, sitting next to my “high” and happy girlfriend, feeling absolutely nothing at all and feeling “cheated” for it, when it hit. Boy did it hit. It hit like a 50 ton locomotive and it wasn’t pretty.

I didn’t puke, but for the next 3 hours I felt like I was about to. I didn’t have a heart attack, but for the next 3 hours I felt like I was going to any second. Holy shit, I was really fucking sick…

She was a good girlfriend about the whole thing. She reassured me a lot that it was all going to be OK in a few hours and kept telling me over and over to relax and that it was all going to be OK.

I survived. Then the next day I asked her what the hell had happened!

She told me I had “smoked way too much” and that I now knew what it felt like to be “really fucking stoned.”

OK fine. Based on that, I now know that I'm not looking to get "really fucking stoned."

I want that “good high” I’ve seen her get. And I still do!

So we’re going to try it again next weekend. She has told me that I am only going to get one hit. Then she says we’ll wait 10 minutes and see how I feel. And depending on how I feel after 10 minutes, I may or may not get another hit, but she says that I am absolutely not getting any more that that, being a rookie and all.

She also says I have to listen to her, and do everything she says, her being the “seasoned pro” and all.

So I thought I’d seek the advice of some other “seasoned pros.”

What do you think? Is my girlfriend’s advice good? Am I going to find that “good high?

Looking forward to your replies!

It might be better your second time. Don't smoke so much at first. It doesn't sound like you got high at all, just a little sick (maybe being your first time and smoking so much?) Ask her to roll a joint next time, it's so much smoother. Maybe her bong was dirty. Some people don't get high the first time. It took a couple tries for me. It takes even longer to understand what getting high is all about. The other possibility is that you might be allergic, but I don't think that's it. Just try it again, and don't take so many hits. Bongs give you really strong hits, and it might just be possible she hadn't cleaned it in a while. If she doesn't roll joints maybe she has a pipe you can try it out of.
I definitely think your second time will be better. Happy toking!

Your girlfriend seems really cool by the way.

 

3 hits wow ur friend is lightweight, or the pot is extremely good, or just really light high.

basicly first time is hard and to me wasnt fun because it was the first time. so yeah. i dunno maybe you should just get some pot and smoke some on ur own to get used to it. its really cool after u experienced it and know what to expect. the increased blood pressure is why u thought u will get a heart atack, many 'pros' when smoke alot even get slightly paranoid about that. but just know, not 1 person has ever died from pot, so tell urself that when high. sickness is common allthough i never experienced it for longer than 10min. try to lie down, and think happy. just think how amazing this is and how it changes how you think. think about anything, and you will love the shit that will come into ur mind =D. just dont worry, and maybe smoke a joint instead, its slower and you feel the high coming on instead of just the sudden BOOM and ur too fucked. i remember when i first smoked my just harvested bud, ithought i fucked up and it wasnt going to even get me high. i just kept hitting the bong, maybe 2 bowls and nothing. i stood up to put my bong away and almost collapsed, i was tripping balls. maybe it was cuz i hadnt smoked weed for a month previous, or my heart rate was low or it just took longer at that time. but usually after holding smoke in u feel it when u exhale. oh and incase you didnt enhale (not just suck and keep in mouth, actually breathe right in just like air) do it. next time will be different, ur body has had the encounter with a new substance now, so yeah.

 

Oh yeah, and everything your girlfriend said about your next time is correct. DO listen to her.

Once you get used to the high you might be able to tolerate being really fucking stoned, but since you are a noob your body doesn't need that much to get stoned. You definitely smoked way too much for your first time.

 

wow i cant believe that you never smoked when you were younger. i started smoking when i was like 114-15 and i never felt anything like that. everytime i smoke i get really happy and relaxed. ive taken alot of other legal drugs like pills and never really liked them. ever since i smoked pot for the first few times i have always liked it.

you probably just got way to high if you smoked out of a bubbler or a bong im guessing what your girlfriend has. i would try like wanderingsoul said and try smoking from a joint or a pipe. the way i have always thought of the first times is you dont really know what to expect so its kinda wierd. the feelings i always get first are a happy laughing type feeling and then dry mouth LOL.

just try it again and only take a few hits once you know what to expect and as your tolerance gets higher it will be alot more enjoyable. BTW welcome to hipforums.

 

oh and watch a film while ur baked, something extremely funny - like superbad. i was really really high, but still managed to laugh my balls of when watching that.

 

Great advice, and that is a wonderful movie.

 

yea i think its a good movie but if the OP is really 40 i dunno if it would be funny to him. i think that movie is intended to be watched by younger people. i dunno it all depends everyones different so maybe they would both like it LOL.

 

Well, this is true ^ but we were just saying... He can watch any movie he wants.

 

Trust me, after you get a little age on you (I'm 36), that movie is NOT funny, just sad. Even my teenager only liked certain parts of it.

About the OP's question: I've heard many, many times that sometimes it takes 2, 3, even 4 times before a person will feel the full effects of pot. Just keep trying.

 

that film IS funny.

if ur 40 though watch the 40 year old virgin instead then, which way not as funny as superbad.

 

Superbad is not sad! It's really sweet in the end when the boys realize what's really important -- just being yourself.

 

^ thats not what they realised, they realised they dont need girls, so fuck them. then they realise they love each other, and can hardly live without eachone. so at the mall the girls take them away from each other, and the big one starts drawing dicks again, while his genitals are in a division sign thing from tight jeans. u know ball, dick ball.

 

Yea, whatever. I just meant they realized they could get the girls if they just didn't try so hard. And the part about drawing dicks again was not true.

 

Dunno if anybody already said this, but the first time you most likely won't get high because the first time is when the body produces the enzymes to process THC, the chemical in marihuana.


Do it a second time, 3-4 hits to that bong and you'll be in heaven.

 

Sounds like your girlfriend gave you great advice, but you should have listened to her when she told you to stop smoking! Most people don't get high their first time, and you were probably smoking something pretty potent. Which would be why it took a little longer than for her. Too bad you had a bad experience for your first time though. I've been smoking for 8 years, and I love it.

 

I did mention that to him qucr00x, but I had no idea that was the reason why most people don't get high their first time smoking. Thanks for teaching me something new! I still don't think he should do that many at first, like his girlfriend said, one, then wait 10 minutes to see how he feels, then another if he feels okay should be good to start. If he feels okay after about twenty minutes of those it should be safe to take another.

 

Also I think the 40 year old virgin would be a PERFECT movie for you to watch while stoned! It's already a funny movie, but you might even be able to "relate" to it a bit. About smoking anyway. Just watch it with your gf this weekend. You'll have a great time.

 

It depends on the person I guess. My real first time I got as high as a kite, but that is probably because I've been around people who smoke pot occasionally, so I already maybe had that enzyme.

Really, watching the 40 year old virgin is good advice. Sober or stoned, it's a good movie.

 

Yea my first time worked too. It just took a LONG time to feel it. But when I did I was literaly floating through the air. It was an amazing experience.
