Lasting effects

[AirO]

How long does it take from the time it is smoked to when someone would feel normal enough to partake in everyday activities without any effects. SWIM wants to try cannabis for the first time with a friend, but he has to be somewhere 1 and a half hours after he can smoke with him. So would it be a wise decision to do this?

This labmonkey would recommend keeping a few hours open the first time... or the paranoia might creep in. And after a few times SWIY can guage for himself how long, but it's likely he'll get pretty blazed the first time and may not want to have to worry about being somewhere. Do it another day when swiy can relax and enjoy.

One could avoid all scares by being some where swiy feel safe and secure, with a close friend/s. before one attempts. You may wanna try this when you have time to experiment. Everyone reacts differently with sensitivities.

Also some strains if you happen to come across strong haze strains unlikely but who knows. swiy may find they can last longer then 2 hours or more it is best to smoke a small amount and see how u feel, some strains are happy head high, coach lock, to slightly visual and psychedelic, or a lovely combination of both. depending on thc,cbd concentrations. some strains u will not feel anything for half an hour to an hour where it will then slowly creep on up you. If swiy feels frighten you can reassure yourself by remembering it will come to an end, changing something to your setting, eating something sugary will restore sugar levels should swiy pull a ghost.

first few times swim smoked he smoked around 5pm and didn't feel fit to do anything challenging for the rest of the day, also swim looked very stoned in comparison to how stoned he looks these days after a smoke.

Swim would wait untill there was no need to be on the hurry up and would choose a day when he had nothing else to do!!

Ok, thanks for the very good advice. Looks like another day is a better idea.

oh yeah, dont forget that if you ever take it up in a big way, like smoking everyday that eventually you'll end up being back to normal in 5 minutes and the only thing that'll get fucked up is your lungs.. its always good to keep a healthy respect for the weed and never make the mistake many of us never learned till it was too late - don't become a stoner !

this simply isn't true, while the duration of the high may decrease, at the point when swim was smoking every day (for a good year and a half.) after a nice fat joint swim would be stoned for atleast a good 2-3 hours

Unless the weed is laced SWIM should be back to baseline by 1 and a half hours if swim smokes just a joint or a bowl or two. I would say go for it.
