First time and questions

A question for you marijuana users. (just read the last paragraph if you don't feel like reading)

Last night I tried smoking pot for the first time out of curiosity. It was killing me not knowing what being "high" was all about and why it was so good so I tried it out with a couple of buddies. Smoked a joint of 1 gram I think, quick as hell. My buddies were proud of me saying I was doing it faster than the veterans. I didn't feel anything at all, all I noticed was that my buddies were acting like complete morons and I think it would be safe to say that from my perspective they were in a state of complete retardation. So I took a few more hits from my friends joints who couldn't finish. I did not enjoy the smoking part at all, I did it quick, coughed a lot and it even burnt my throat.

So we were walking around and I could definitely tell my friends were high but all I noticed was that the color of everything quickly shifted to a red tint and came back to normal. I was very nervous, shaky, and spitting a lot and my heart rate was increasing steadily. Than on the way back to my friends house things got a little weird, we were walking and I was looking for his house. It seemed it was still like 10 houses down but after we walked by the next house we came to his. My friend mentioned that this happened to him too after it did. We walked in and I started to feel like I was becoming retarded. Things were going really slow for me and my friends were walking faster than me. One of them said I was doing everything in slow motion which was how I felt. Than we went upstairs which is when things really got fucked. I started to say the most stupidest shit and laughed at the most stupidest shit. My words felt like they were disappearing as I had said them or like I was talking and I couldn't hear myself. The volume of things was changing constantly and when it changed on the tv I got mad at my buddy because I thought it was him. From my friends perspective I was completely fucked and out of it. I realized why they were saying this too because to me it looked like most of them were really calm where as I was kinda hyper and talking a lot. Talking and laughing with my buddies is what I most enjoyed. If I wasn't talking or listening to music I felt like I wasn't even high. I went to the washroom and my eyes were completely blood shot. However, while in the washroom I felt normal as I ever did like the high had gone away. Quickly went back to my buddies and my high came back.

So thats what I enjoyed about it. Although I did slightly enjoy being able to talk to my friends freely without any worries there was a lot I didn't enjoy. I felt like my intelligence was wearing away and I was becoming mentally ill. I was worried that I would never be smart again, that my grades in school would drop. Coupled with this was the constant paranoia. Whenever someone came in I thought it was my buddies parents. The door bell rang for pizza and I yelled out "Oh shit the cops are coming". Shadows were moving behind like someone was trying to hit me. I kept feeling like my friends were right by my shoulder but they were much farther away. This made me really uncomfortable.

Overall it was not what I was expecting. I thought I was gona feel really good, and according to my research I should have right? Many times I have seen that one of the effects of marijuana is a feeling of euphoria. To me euphoria sounds like a happy word, I was expecting to be dancing on rainbows and having a conversation with the happy sun. However I did not feel anything to this effect, in fact I did not experience any feelings at all only my environment was changing and I was not able to control what I had said.

So from my one experience with marijuana I can say that it has benefited my in these way: It cured my headaches which I had been having in the evening for the whole break. It killed my social anxiety and allowed me to talk freely. And lastly, it allowed me to bond with my friends in a way I had never before. I hope my description will help cure the curiosity of some people who just read this thread out interest like I did when I was bored.


My question: Was I suppose to feel good? Because I did not, during most of the trip my stomach felt kinda sick and the things that were happening around me made me uncomfortable but thats it. Also, on a scale from one to ten how high was I from my descriptions. Other things that happened: It seemed like my friends were teleporting from one place to another when I did not see them walking to that placed. When we watched evolution of dance I sang along to every song. I stood up and sat down quickly. Expierenced short term memory loss. Could not grasp how fast time was going. Had a permanent smile on my face. My attention span was at its lowest level, when one of my friends got off his high he started talking all this technical crap and I could not follow what he was saying I could hardly pay for my pizza too because I was having trouble figuring out if I was getting ripped off or not. And when I was feeling tired and normal again I went to sleep but it felt like I was high again. I took 3 naps and all times it felt like I was high. So from 1-10.. how high? And was I suppose to feeling noticeably happy?

Man, it sounds to me like you just smoked too much, too fast and basicly exprienced pretty much every effect weed can give you (bad and good), Its up to you if you choose to do it again, but all im gonna say is the more times u try it, the more youll ignore and be able to control the bad sides (like thinking about stuff to much) And just enjoy the good sides of it. Also, i would recomend not smoking quite so much next time, have a few hits, see how u feel after a few minutes, have a couple more hits, see wot happens, Just pace yourself. Just try to go with the flow man and see that it is a good thing your doing, not bad, and try and ignore what your buddies are thinking, if they are experienced stoners they will have all gone thru situtions like yours and will understand what its like. Trust me, once youv been smoking for as long as some of us have, youll CRAVE the feeling your getting now, So just enjoy the ride, try n love every minute of it, you have SO much good times coming your way man (thats if you choose to carry on smoking)

Hope that helped

Peace, safron

Wow, I've never tripped out that bad. The worst paranoia I've had was thinking that my roommate was trying to feed me poop and he called it chocolate, but it was really just chocolate. Other than that there's the normal fear of cops. Some people trip out on their first try, I didn't, and I'm an experienced user, so I don't have any bad trips anymore, but I don't get as high or "retarded" as I used to.

The first time you went drinking, did you chug a whole bottle of vodka?

I hope not, because if you did, you were probably quite sick.

Marijuana won't make you sick because it isn't toxic, but doing too much too fast, especially if you don't know whats coming, is not necessarily a good thing. Mostly here, I agree with Safron.

Well, I wish I could say I've expeirienced that but I haven't. My first time, I only had like 6 or 7 cones and it was fucking awsome. I was laughing at everything, I was mad happy and I went home stoned and laughed in my dads face and he didn't notice.

Just thought I'd share that, but from what I've seen it should be better next time should you wish to continue.

The first time I was high was in a forest at 2 in the morning so I didn't get paranoid that bad, but trust me the more times you smoke weed the more you get used to the bad parts, plus you can't judge how getting high feels just on your first time.
