Any tips you can give me so I don't freak the fuck out?
Relax? It's a joint, why would you be freaking out?

Dude chill out.
Look up sketch on urbandictionary. But really, it depends on where you're smoking. First time I did it, I was in the back of a high school, at like 11. I felt sketch as fuck. But then I stopped caring. But I'm assuming if you're somewhere that feels safe, you'll be fine.

Just make sure you don't OD.
You have to keep yourself in check manually. It's really not an issue for most people, although I can imagine it has affected most everyone at some point. You have realize that you're high and there is nothing to worry about and that just relaxing will make everything far more enjoyable. Seriously, you have to control your paranoia. It is something I have never really suffered from with smoking. If this is your first time I suggest not doing all that much at first and see how it is. If you feel you can handle more, then do it. This will give you a high that you can handle. If you want to be brave, do what everyone else is doing. You'll become uncomfortably high. I've talked about that subject a bit before, so just to recap, it's something that a lot of stoners love, but it isn't something that a lot of newer people may like because it can get pretty overwhelming. Really, I'd suggest getting too high, but do you'd prefer.
Also be prepared that your heart will beat faster. I remember it slightly panicking me the first time I got high but you learn to ignore it.
If it's only one joint then don't worry. You probably won't get that high the first time (unless it's really good shit) Don't be disappointed if you don't get really high. It's better to like... You know feel it out. See how you like the high. Then get mad stoned later.

If he tokes properly there's no reason why he shouldn't get high; I don't get how there are so many people who fail to get high on their first joint.

[QUOTE=Mac2468;28199809]My dad was in the hospital for a week once because he hit a bong too hard.[/QUOTE] Weed. Not even once. I mean this is what it makes you do [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8S5g8aFLfk&feature=related[/media]
Just take into account that you can't really die from weed. The only thing you may find yourself panicking over will either be getting caught (Just ignore this feeling, it's rarely right when you're stoned) and feeling like you're about to die. And no, you won't go full retard like some anti-pot videos.
even if your heart starts beating fast, I like to think about how it's basically the same as when I exercise... it might be uncomfortable but it's not like you're gonna die.
Weed can make you notice things you usually wouldn't. It can also distort your perception of time. So you might start to notice your heart beating, and it may sound to be beating abnormally fast (although it is likely beating completely normal). You start to wonder if you're having a heart attack. This causes your anxiety to go way up and increases your heartbeat even more, which to you confirms that you're having a heart attack. You might start to get some adrenaline pumping due to being in a panic, and the more and more you freak out, the more and more it seems like you're having a heart attack, you might even feel pain. The fact of the matter is that you weren't having a heart attack, but thinking you were caused a lot of the symptoms. The point is that you need to be pretty objective if you think there is something wrong with you, because when you're in a state where you're likely to have increased anxiety, your body can react in ways to which can confirm your anxieties.
fuck wow it's weed i mean i used to be a nervous nancy about it too but the more you do it the more you realize you are completely fucking safe and chill doing it unless you're in a state with shitty local police policies about doing it or something, i dunno. i live in bc so even if you get caught the most cops will do is make you throw out your roach or they'll take your pipe maybe, and the rest of your weed.
I'm in England, so regardless it's going to be fucking shitty if we get caught. Four years for possession. d:
woah what? did the laws change or something? cause whenever I watch road wars people just get fines and warnings.

[QUOTE=tommofandan;28205716]I'm in England, so regardless it's going to be fucking shitty if we get caught.

The other day I smoked a fucking fat joint (could've been put into three joints) and went to walk to some community centre and on the way I could feel my heart was beating crazy fast and my body felt so heavy. I thought I was having a panic attack or something, so I ignored it. When I sat down I felt fine, turned out I was just too high to be standing up.

I dunno, I've had the elevated heart beat (half the time I can feel my heart beating while or soon after smoking) and body feeling like jelly before, but never to that extent and I've been smoking for nearly three years. That's why I kinda thought it was a panic attack or something as I know people who've had them while smoking, but yeah trying to ignore it and just sitting down seemed to sort me out.
