Opinions - First time advice

[War Pig]

Hi, just wondering if anyone can give some tips or advice on smoking cannabis for the first time, such as wether or not to mix it with tobacco and why, which way to smoke it, any first time side effects, things I should/shouldn't do before/after smoking, stuff like that - any replies would be appreciated - thanks in advance.

welcome to the great world of MJ, as yout first time, if you know any smokers smoke with them first, but if u dont, then go buy a cheap glass pipe, u put the weed in the bowl part, and just smoke , if its good and you get a good reaction your first time, food will soon follow so no need to eat anything unless u hungry lol, first time side effects listed

first time side effects
- can lead to cotton mouth
- can lead to the munchies
- can lead to sitting and watvching tv all day
- can lead to feeling really good and having a good time

the list goes on

one thing thou thatr can happen, is u might have semi allergic or just first time shock to body where u might wanna throw up, seen it many of time, thats why wouldnt eat before, but its not something that happens a lot just to a few

dont mix with tabacco (unless u get some good hash, then u can melt the hash into tabacco and make a hash joint, but not for new time smokers)

Spongebob did his first one mixed with tobacco. Didn't really like it. Just like smokin cigarettes with a little stronger high.
In conclusion the best way is to go pure!!!

A simple pipe or bong would do because being new, you probably don't want to try rolling a joint from the start (it's an art form).

If you like tobacco, feel free to add some. I've found that it's usually people from across the pond that do that. It's said to help it burn better (all the additives to cigarettes will help it burn and not kill the cherry).

Make sure you're not too worried about getting caught or something. Do it in a comfortable place. Also make sure you don't have plans because it wouldn't be cool to know that right after you smoke up that you have to go meet up with family or something.

Most people don't feel too much the first time. Make sure you know how to inhale correctly. You inhale like you would a cigarette but hold the smoke in a little longer. You DON'T inhale like a cigar because that's a waste of weed (the smoke won't go to the lungs>heart>through bloodstream to brain>into cannabinoid receptors if it stays in your mouth).

Most importantly, have a good time and listen to some good music or something to set the mood.

Thanks for the replies. I have been smoking and rolling cigarettes for a while now so rolling a joint shouldn't be a problem but I'm now sick of cigarettes and would prefer not to mix it with tobacco (I was just wondering why some people do).

In that case, those things shouldn't be of much a problem. Enjoy!

ive heard of some people freaking out their first time.

Pretty uncommon though.

Toke away!

Treat your first pot experience as if it was a hallucinogen.

It's all about set and setting. Nice, calm evening with trusted friends and some nice food.

After getting used to smoking, you can pretty much smoke in any setting and be fine.

I don't know if you need to go so far with the set and setting as you do with psychedelics..

swim has smoked with first timers at various random locations and they all always just laughed their ass off and were having a good time no matter what.

Weed isn't freak out worthy, just take it easy at first

Well, Swim and several friends have had panic attacks and such because of bad settings and lack of pot experience.

Everything Swim says is experience talking.
