First time being properly high, not very positive. - General

So I've smoked weed plenty of times, and I've gotten the usual sleepiness and relaxation, but no real buzz or euphoria. Yesterday, I bough a gram of some dank, it was real nice. I rolled it all up in a joint and smoked it within 5 mins, inhaling and holding it in for 5 seconds. I felt really weird. My main symptoms were time was moving very slowly, on the way to the shop (was walking with a friend) It seemed to take forever to get there, I couldn't keep in a train of thought (linear memory), I kept drifting into a deep thought (mostly anxious ones) then coming back to reality and being confused and shit. I went back home (no one was home, so I had plenty of time to myself). I watched TV for 3 hours, the last program was Mock the Week, which I find funny when sober, I laughed uncontrollably for a while, this was probably the only definate positive symptom of my high. Obviously I felt quite tired at the end of it all and I fell asleep quite easily. So I'm just wondering, why did this happen? It wasn't very positive at all and overall an anxious and paranoid experience. Should I of smoked less since I'm relatively inexperienced. Thanks.

As you are pretty new to this, it's common and ok to be paranoid and anxious. Just smoke more, and remember that as long as you don't put a sign above you that says "I'm high, i have a gram in my pocket. Come and arrest me" you'll have a small chance of getting caught. Along with making sure that you don't have anything incriminating on your self if you do get arrested for some reason. Just leave it all in a secret place, and as long as you don't have a joint in your mouth while on a busy street you should be good. (Most of this is common sense) [editline]05:03PM[/editline] To be less paranoid, find the safest and most relaxing place to smoke for a while to get yourself used to the feeling, so you don't ruin the high with all of these thoughts "What if a cop smells us, holy shit man we gotta run quick home and grab some cologne."

Just relax, go somewhere safe. I hate walking around while high since I notice every single movement my body is making, which makes me twitch, and then I think that everyone suddenly knows I'm stoned.

Not everyone likes weed. Maybe you just don't.

I wasn't really paranoid about getting caught by the cops, moreso my parents. But yeah, I'll be having it at the same time as my friend tomorrow and it's also a pretty new experience for him, so hopefully it'll be nicer.

Just create a safe environment, don't be afraid of anything. The best times for me when I'm high is when there are no risks at all of getting caught. Completely safe and I can just relax and enjoy the ride.

Hmmm. As has been said the paranoia is something most people get, you've just got to try to think around it =) remind yourself you're just being stupid. Next time, try getting some tunes if you can. Some are better than others though.

Do you think 1g was too much all of a sudden? I would of thought 0.5g would of done. I just wanted to make sure I got high.

Sometimes I get kinda paranoid when I'm high but I've started making a "what is reasonable" and what "is not" list and I start to notice my paranoid behaviors and stopping them. Until then, I've been much more chill and enjoyed a lot more.

Smoking less would help you a bit, it's mostly in your head though. You just have to relax and let your thoughts flow. Don't fight the high.

Take your time aswell. Just have a smallish joint at a time. It doesn't matter in the end aslong as you get high and have a good time.

[QUOTE=Adrego;18033601]Kinda, especially all in one joint for a newcomer, hell that'd get me very very nicely blazed and I smoke daily, I just don't seem to have a tolerance.[/QUOTE] Yeah and me. I don't smoke every day but I've smoked for aaages and I haven't seemed to of built of a tolerance what so ever. I'm not complaining though because it's cheaper. I'm just glad that I didn't start of with shitty tolerance

You just got good and high for your first time it would seem. It was pretty similar for me the first time I really got high. The paranoia and anxiety are just normal for new smokers, it takes a bit of getting used to the high to get past it but it will pass.

First time I got properly high it was too much so i just went to sleep.

Smoke in there, and use some kind of fragrance thing to kill the smell. And sitting in your favourite atmosphere [mine is in a dark room with fresh air and good stomp beats playing in the background] will make the high even better. I find that be lying still in bed [without fapping or going to sleep] puts me on a mental rollercoaster, i ride my train of thought all over my life, and into new thoughts...

Thanks for the help guys, I'm getting another gram tomorrow because he shorted me a gram, I'll split it with a friend and see how it goes. I'll also upload a nice macro aswell when I get back to my house. Night.

Try packing it into a couple bowls instead of rolling it all into a spliff. Take a couple puffs and wait like 15 minutes if you want to control your high and get it right where you want it, taking more as needed. Plus it'll go farther for you and your pal.

Just remember to take it slow, if you smoke too much at once, you'll regret it.

But honnestly, that doesn't change anything.

the first time I got really blitzed off of high-end skunk, I got these terrifying and really vivid mental images of clowns and vaginas and such. Over time I learned to stop worrying and just shrug it off

Just chill, man. Enjoy it, don't force yourself to do shit. Just sit on the couch and watch tv

Smoking can often induce paranoia and anxiety, it's a skill to keep on top of it mentally, and to shift your train of thought in order to steer away from situations like these. Trust me, I get anxious and paranoid all the time when I'm high./

Well I got another gram today, but I scaled it and it's about 0.5 unincluding the bag, but i'll just pay a lower price next time, it seems he was testing me to see if I knew much bout this stuff.

Sounds like ya got a ripoff merchant =P just point it out to him he probably won't try again. Anyway, tunes! Relaxation, good times ;D Just ignore stupid paranoia

[QUOTE=noahh;18051470]Yeah, but he was nice enough to give me another bag, but I'll bring my scales along next time and point out to him that is bags aren't a gram.[/QUOTE] Just be careful though - dealing itself is illegal, so whats gonna stop him from brining a knife out or something? Just be careful.
