Ok- so my friends, who smoke alot, want me to smoke with them. Of course I want to, and they dont know that I never have before. So, I was wondering if you guys could give me some pointers on not looking like a complete fool. Thanks a ton.
Thats good advice- however, I really dont want to look like a fool. Im sure you know what its like to be new to something. I just want some pointers.
if they are your friends why does it matter if you look like a fool or not. They wont care if you havent smoked before.
Seriously though, don;t go first and just observe how they do it (what ever they are smokin with). when it's your turn, just be calm and try not to cough haha.
tell them the true and ask for pointer, you know what they said "a friend in need is a friend deed" if they laugh at you maybe their not real friends
If they know you're a beginner, it should be expected you might be a little silly with the whole process at first. My first time I pulled a nug right through the bowl and choked on it. It's a learning experience. It's best that you're doing it with friends too because they'll help you along the way.
If its a joint, anally take it. Not many do it, but its the average stoner way of doing it. Insert the joint into said rectum. Wait 3 - 5 seconds, remove and pass around. Great way to get baked off your ass. baha
If you're using a glass pipe, there's probably a hole on the side, it's called a carb. You have to cover this while you're taking the hit, when you're almost done, take your thumb off the carb. This will allow air to come through the pipe and clear the smoke out. Hold it deep in your lungs in for five seconds or so to make sure you feel it. The first time I smoked, I used a bong and there is no way to take a bong hit and not inhale it correctly. If you don't get high, it's because you're not inhaling it properly. Hope this helps, take it easy.
If there your friends they shouldnt really care if u cough, if its ya first time try get them to roll a joint i wouldnt sugest first time ever useing a bong just because it might be harsh on ya lungs. just tell ya mates its a first time they shouldnt care every one gota start sum where.
i don't know why it's such a sin to cough. fuckin eh i cough at least once-per-session. anyway, what are you going to be smoking out of? that could help us out.
I was in the same spot as you. I just owned up and said, "guys. this is going to be my first time smoking, you got any pointers?" we smoked a blunt and it went extremly well. Tell them and have them show you the way. Oh and as for coughing. Coughing is not a big deal. As long as you dont cough into the moupeice of a bowl it's perfectly acceptable. When I take a hit of some bud, I hit it for all it's worth and sometimes I cough. All it means is that you inhaled too much smoke to handle, but it shows you're taking rippas.
Take bong rips your first time because it's easy to inhale the smoke is cooled and soft and it will get you high as a kite. No matter what you will cough if this is your first time smoking so take huge hits hold exhale then cough your throat out. Also btw if you cough it means your going to get higher so to me coughing is a good thing.
I think they said something about a bowl. Also its something homemade I guess, and they have a water bong too. Its all just really new to me, so yeah. Thanks a ton for the help.
Use the water bong. Anything water cooled helps cool the smoke (duh) before it enters your lungs, thus allowing you to take a bigger hit, while avoiding the hot smoke produced by joint/bowl/anything not water-cooled. My only advice; Inhale properly. Apparently, in this day and age, the concept of inhaling is lost amongst first-time smokers...
LOL the same way you have done your entire life with oxygen. Instead of just letting the smoke go into your mouth, suck it down into your lungs. If you are unsure if you're inhaling correctly, take a mouthful of smoke, then inhale oxygen through your mouth so that the smoke gets down into your lungs. You will feel this, and will probably cough your ass off. If you're coughing, you're doing good. If not, you are probably not doing it right, or taking ridiculously tiny hits, or maybe you just have a natural iron-lung, who knows? Remember; into your lungs. It is the very same concept (breathing) which keeps you alive, so it shouldnt be too hard to wrap your head around. Have fun with it
Lol, well thank you for stating the very obvious to me. I just wanted to make sure. I think I can handle that.
yea, don't suck in to hard, just inhale as your normally would; maybe slightly harder. Your gonna cough up a lung guarenteed though. The first time I inhaled something properly I coughed for 3 minutes straight.
