Pot for the first time

now theres someone who knows what hes talking about.

 

MusicMan, you really gave me some good insight, thank you. Though, I am a little confused....you were saying something about marijuna slowing down your emotional maturity? .....(by the way, I love Kansas too, great song )

Also, everyone is saying that you usually react in two different ways, either loving and free or paranoid and freaked out. How can you know how you will react? I'm a little freaked out now, and I'm glad I asked this question............

 

why poke some smot ? coo yould de booing thother oings ith way or yay ime tay. (spoon latin)

 

First time I did it it was really effective, I felt great and a little hyper-active. Then my mate from school started having pot parties and becoming a studentstoner, and I dunno, either I'd built up an immunity very fast or their stash was just shit. This went on for a while, and I just got sick of it and never spoke to them much after that. They'd become obsessed with it, you couldn't talk to them without them dragging drugs into the conversation.

Oh, and the stuff about it expanding your mind and causing you to have indepth conversations about the meaning of life? Having witnessed these conversations stoned AND sober, I can tell you that it's not true.

 

its a matter of expectations and environment. be with people you love. expect happiness. really, i've never seen anyone freak on weed before. and since it is your first time, you're really more likely not to get a high off of it.

my first time, i only dragged once. (i didn't like the taste at first, but its really really good). and then i went home and i layed down on the floor on my way to the kitchen. and i remember thinking i was an art sculpture of a mission impossible person.. or something like that. and i seemed to be there for like an hour, when i finally got up i called my mom to tell her i was home. i was staring into the mirror while doing that and i don't remember seeing me. and then i saw the clock and i had only been home for 15 minutes. i thought i had been for like 1-2 hours. i don't remember after that. i probably ate. lol. i think the reason i got high was because i had been around the smoke many many times before. but idk.

anyways, have fun

 

haha that's kind of funny actually...

someone just told me that your paranoid for like, a month after....true?

 

umm.. i wasn't. the next day i asked my best friend when i could try acid. i most definately didn't get paranoid over anything that month

 

Good to know...................I was definitly worried about being paranoid.

 

don't worry about anything. if you're worried about things it wont be as fun. just relax. its all good. if it was so bad of a thing to do, why would so many people rave about it? (not trying to be peer-pressure-ish.. i just mean that with so many good reviews, it must not be anything to worry about)

 

Well, many people say that you don't have "deeper" though when you're high, but that's not really true, as far as I've gathered. I compose much deeper music when I'm high. I think that because your hippocampus (the area of the brain that controls speech reasoning) is impaired, you're simply not able to express your ideas very well through words when you're high. This is why I think it's very funny to listen to potheads try to become Aristotle. Just give up! Go write it down in a poem or through music.

About the emotional maturity thing. It's been said that those that start very young can impede emotional maturity if they start drinking or smoking heavily. They begin to feel uncomfortable around people in society, they begin to feel uncomfortable around their friends that they once loved and they begin to feel as though the outside world is something they can simply not be 'interested in', which, in turn, leads to leading a very anti-social, very ill-productive lifestyle. Marijuana has not been proven to impede emotional maturity, but I'm a firm believer in the theory that drugs that block chemical transmission can be devastating to a maturing young-adult. I have many friends who ended up this way. And yes, all they can talk about now is "the bud". "Where's the bud". "Hey, when I was on bud that one time". "Hey, I had these good buds the other day". It becomes their world. No one else and nothing else matters and responsibility no longer means anything to them. It's all up to you and how much you use it. Pot can be a really great experience, but if you use it too often you risk a lot of damage in a lot of different areas of your life.

Paranoia never lasts more than the actual term of the high itself. But, the paranoia can be very bad, especially if you're with people you don't know very well. If you expect paranoia, the high will be entirely a paranoid high. If you expect to be happy and high, and you don't allow yourself to become intertwined in your own real life worries when you're high, you'll have a good high. Marijuana, like alcohol or any other drug, can project anything you allow it to project. You can't worry about the due-date of your next term-paper when you're high or you're invariably going to end up stressed out and will ruin the high. It's all about expectation and how solid the individual who is smoking can be. If you're truely depressed before hand, don't smoke. It will simply project that and make it worse for you. You have to be the type of person who can completely let go for 2 hours or so, or you'll hate pot. If you're a naturally stressed person, don't ever even take a hit, it's not for you. Remember that a high is about 10% T.H.C and 90% mental. You have to expect it to be a good high for it to be a good high.

 

Well, if you want to do it, go right ahead and have a good time.


BUT, I will say this...

It is very frustrating to try and talk to somebody who is really stoned. When my best friend started getting into it, that's when most of any curiousity I may have had went away. I really can't even talk to her when she is high. It's as if my gorgeous, insane, passionate poet melts away and is replaced by a goofy giggle machine. Like somebody pulls the plug on her.

I mean, it most definitely depends on the individual, and since I don't smoke weed I guess you don't have to listen to me. I just wanted to warn you not to get too caught up in it, okay?

Anyways, have a good time.

I love pot. If everybody smoked pot, the world would be a much better place.
I sing, "I'd like to buy the world a joint, and teach them how to toke..."

 

HAHAHAHA oh that's good.

 

Well, it all depends on environment. Just feel comfortable with where you are and try not to get into situations where you will be around cops, parents(if they arent cool) that sort of thing. But anyway, on with the good stuff. If you like to laugh a lot, feeling happy and deep insight you'll love it.

 

I say go for it man! You never know how your high will turn out till you do it, sometimes you laugh uncontrolably, other times you sit around and talk about crazy shit. No matter what tho, it's always fun!

 

dont forget to warn your friends ahead of time not to say "thats a cop" when theres a knock at the door.....trust me.

 

hahaha I'll be sure to do that, thanks. LOL.

So........can you control being really crazy and laugh a lot? And, can you control whether or not ur gunna be mellow and laid back, or giggly and stuff?

 

not really...after awhile you learn to calm yourself down when youre laughing like crazy or something..but just let everything flow and itll be good. The only time I got paranoid was when my boyfriend and his friend left me in a pizza parlor for like 10 minutes (which felt like an hour) and I thought they forgot me and that hte pizza guys were gonna rape me. But after I got out...I was fine..It's really situation based.

 

theres infinite combinations of reactions really, its entirely personal and individual, what are you normally like? you know better than any of us do, don't be scared though, chances are you'll like it for a good while when you start
