1st Time Experience and a Question

Hi All,
Smoked for the 1st time in over 20 years last night. Tell me what I did right/wrong. I rolled a standard size joint in Bambu paper. Went outside and took 2 or three hits and when nothing hapenned I smoked the entire thing. Then wham! Me feet felt like they weighed 500 pounds each and everything was in super slow motion. I just collapsed on the couch. It was not a good feeling. After a while I was able to go upstairs to bed. I felt sort of paranoid. I also had a few drinks in me. Did I smoke too much? Can I put it out and re-light it a few days later??
Suggestions for next time? Thanks.

 

I'd say you just smoked too much. Next time you should take like 3-4 hits, then wait a minute. If you're not high enough after that, hit it a few more times until you are where you want to be.

 

i have never heard of smoking too much..honestly.
me and 2 other people can go thru $150 bucks a night on MJ.. we have done it before..

 

There IS in fact smoking too much; it's ALL subjective and a matter of personal taste. And just because you and your buddies can smoke 150$ (which is vague in amount anyhow) doesn't mean he can...he has an absolute 0 tolerance again. I too can smoke a 200$ half (yes 14g's) in a day...I SHOULDN'T be able to, but I have been so saturated for years that it really isn't too hard; though I hardly ever do it because...it's too much. Plain and simple if it made you feel bad you took too much, just as others say hit it, snuff it out, wait and see what's up.

 

Try smoking $150 worth of weed after a 20 year tolerance break though.

I say your lucky. Your tolerance should be so low that you should be able to get really really high off not much weed at all. I envy you.

 

The same thing happened to me. I was on a vacation in Germany and joined a bong circle. It turns out we weren't smoking weed, but Black Afghan Hash mixed with tobacco. The combination of the tobacco head rush and strength of the hash hit me like a wall and I just laid on the bed unable to move for about ten minutes. When I could finally move I went to the bathroom and saw that I was really pale and sweating. But then I splashed some cold water on my face, grabbed a drink and all was good. The picture in my signature was actually taken that night.

Anyway, it is possible to smoke too much. Just take like 3 or 4 hits and wait 15 minutes to see how you feel. If you think you need more then go for it.

 

everyone seems to be forgetting what you did right.... which was to try smoking again.

 

Paul,

As someone who is the same age as you, me being 40, I hope you will listen to my advice. Not that the above advice and experiences are not all good. I personally did not pick up the habit until later in life so my experiences are for the most part new as well. The long and short of it is that you were very very stoned. Being stoned is all about how stoned you want to be in order to enjoy it. This can only be done by doing. My first suggestion would be to get a bowl or pipe. Joints are a waste of weed. You can snuff out a joint and save it for later but by the time you decide to do this it could have been burining for a while. While in a bowl, the cherry will go out and you can always light it up again days later. I know I have. You have to take it one step at a time. Of course the fact that you had had something to drink will also increase your feelings of heavyness. It also might have a lot to do with the type of weed you had. Indicas tend to give you more of the body high and make you feel heavy. I would be willing to bet that was the kind of weed you had.

My best advice to you is not to let it get to you but to try it again. Don't get parinoid either, just smoke and enjoy. If you are feeling nuts about smoking that will just make you feel it more. Take your time and toke up a few times and just chill out. Enjoy the herb. We all do. If you need to talk more about it and don't want to look like a noob feel free to PM me. Otherwise, your education awaits. I personally joined the forums to learn more about weed from people who smoke way more than I do.

 

damn, i want some of the shit your smokin on!

 

haha i fucking LOVE europe... germans especially are damn awesome

 

your advice is is square on. Joints are a terrible waste. They're good for carrying, and easier to share - so there is a place for em.
But i'n not arguing with you, simply pointing out there are a few reasons to keep some paper around.

But I got a question for you; as the few weeks I've been here, you are one of the people I find myself agreeing with.

what is your opinion on vapes? I'm curious because of statements made of using vapes
stash last longer, cleaner high, not alot of smoke in the air.

I'll admit I made a getto vape out of a lightbulb - just to experince it.
Do you have any experince with vapes?

 

It looks like you were talking to me. If I am wrong fine, otherwise, I will answer your question anyway.

A buddy of mine made a vape using a masion jar, a soldering iron, a brass cap, a dimmer switch and a hot glue gun with some plastic tubing. He said he found the design on the internet. That is as close to a vape that I have used. I have seen some of the nicer ones in some of the head shops and of course online. I personally don't think it's worth the money for me. It might be for other people but I just like the social aspect of smoking weed and I happen to like to taste the flavor of the weed. If I ever got one I would go full on Volcano. The thing just looks cool and has a lot of different features. I know some people also like them for the lack or less amount of smell. I don't put them down. I am sure they are awsome I just would rather pack a bowl or a bong to smoke.
