Experiences - First time smoker, needs advice/assistance

[Harryy]

SWIM is new to cannabis and doesnt smoke. SWIM had tried cannabis before occassionly by quick tokes on friends joints but to little effect.

SWIM recent obtained some weed and one of those mini skyoff bottle bongs for £X.XX and some stardard ciggerette papers.

SWIM first tried the bong but had little sucsess and just wasted a decent nugget a weed, swim doesnt have a sceen. Unsure wether this is due to shit bong or shit bong technique, probably a combo of both.

So SWIM then badly rolled a joint with probably around a pea sized amount of weed. SWIM smoked amount 3/4 of it a felt what to SWIM felt like very high. SWIM really didnt enjoy deep breaths of smoke in his lungs. he was leading out the stable door with the top half open, so the bottom was pushing on his stomach and felt better when he stood up normally but still abit sick, but the high was under the sicky feeling and swim told himself to 'channel' into this part of the high which helped abit.

However a sick feeling also same with the high. SWIM went upstairs, walking felt like walking on the moon abit. SWIM put away his lighter & bong etc away in his draw and did it very silently and carefully for some reason.
He then put on music and layed on his bed and recieved a text.

The main high disapeared very quickly after about 90-150 seconds later really. SWIM ate a biscuit. SWIM played xbox but was quicked bored and annoyed of it/ He went to the bathroom to wash but instead was volenteraly a very little bit sick. SWIM had a flu/cold time thing at the time altho it wasnt very bad, but it felt like the syptoms were exagerated SWIM found the whole experience not great at all.

SWIM will definetly wait untill he feels completely better before he trieds again but wants advice on how to improve his expenience, how use the weed and wonders about the duraton on the high as the main nice bit worth smoking for lasted about a minute really.

swiy doesn't smoke right? so it looks like to swim that swiy just got a buzz of the tobacco, and maybe swim should wait till he is feeling better for the first experience, also swiy needs to read the rules, Dont self incriminate use swim for yourself and swiy for whoever your talking about.

Well... during the first times, inhaling properly the smoke is probably the hardest part of it, and its the reason many people doesnt get high the first times. It is unconfortable indeed, to have a lot of harsh smoke into ones lungs, but its VERY worth the high, after one actually gets properly high.
From swiys description, swim also thinks swiy only got a fleeting high from the tobacco, and almost nothing from the weed itself. The weeds high is unmistakeable. When one gets actually high, one knows it for sure. Its like WOWW MAN Im high!!!!! Swiy will know when it happen.

A good high from cannabis takes some time to kick in (in unexperienced users, something like 5-15 minutes after one smokes), and it lasts for at very least half hour (usually much more, like 1-2 hours in unexperienced users).

Swim also thinks mixing tobacco with the weed isnt a good idea, as it usually causes nausea in unexperienced people, and adds little to nothing to the high (besides the fact nicotine is an addictive drug). Swim thinks swiy should smoke pure weed, so swiy would have to smoke less material (meaning less smoke to inhale) and would get only its pure effects.

And even if smoking when one has a flu can help by making one feel better (at least in swims case), surely smoking when one is completly healthy is far more enjoyable.

So, good luck with swiys next attempt, and have fun!

i say swiy should smoke with an experienced friend. they may be able to show you how to load a bowl and how to smoke it. if swiy weed falls and your bong sucks do some research on rolling(its more of an art than anything) or make an apple bong (they suck but they get the job done) and if you dont cough your first time your doing it wrong lol
