• First time smoking freaked me out.

I'm not exactly a weed aficionado so pardon me if I sound stupid. I smoked weed for the first time a while ago, maybe a month. My friend whipped out his glass bong and filled it with ice water and we proceeded to smoke. I don't think I really took in that much or was even doing it right. I cleared all the smoke everytime and maybe did 4-5 hits? Anyway. I slowly (20 minutes?) started to slip into the high. I was feeling it a little then wham, it hit me and I started feeling tingly all over and felt as if I were falling. I laid against the wall and just tried to relax. My heart was beating faster than I could ever remember. I was immediately paranoid and started freaking out, annoying the fuck out of my friends. I'm aware that paranoia is a normal side effect but I don't know if what happened to me was normal. I tried to relax and just enjoy it but it took me about an hour to calm down. I laid on a bean bag and just listened to music. For some reason, the music made everything even freakier to me. I was laughing uncontrollably but thinking to myself "what the fuck this isn't at all funny, stop it faggot." After about 2-3 hours, I slipped out of the high. I later discussed it with a friend I talk to on Vent. He's smoked for a long time but apparently recently had his own freakout. He demands that it's because of smoking out of a bong. Every other time he was fine. So that leaves me to ask these questions: Is it because of using a bong? Is it just stronger? What are the odds of me freaking out again? Thanks, bros. :weed:
Oh, you'll be fine the next few times. Just gotta have the right mind-set.
Sounds like you were pretty close to whiting out. And yeah, don't use a bong until you're a bit more used to it, joints should allow you to control your intake till you learn to handle. Don't let this put you off, i've had quite a few experience like you've described (- the paranoia), but tonnes more that were amazing.
Probably a case of too much for your first time. Bongs can get you higher faster, especially with the icy water in there aswell which would cool the smoke down even more so you can take in more of it. Just do less next time and if you like it take more later on.
What exactly is whiting out?
Also called greening out if you throw up, It's when you go very pale and everything starts rushing at you and you feel really weak and dizzy, a lot of people get motion sickness. I THINK this is due to the individuals blood sugar being signifigantly lowered, hence the light headedness and vertigo and the contraction of capillary in the surface of the skin (as you see with a lot of diabetics when they slip into hypoglycemia). So in summary, if that happens, stop smoking and try and get some food down you.
You lay on the wall? Wow you must have been pretty fucked up. In all seriousness the first time is often either disappointing or overwhelming. If you start to feel weird just lie down or do whatever you feel you need to. Once you get over that peak everything should seem much better =) Try not to let it put you off.
It's happened to me a few times. Personally I think it's from getting way too high too fast out of a crazy bong. If you smoke a few hits, and you're not high you're gonna take a few more, but what if it's sticky icky creeper weed???????????????????????????????????????????????? Then you get fucking ripped. Too ripped.
I've been smoking out of a bong since day one, have never had this. [b]Edit:[/b] Maybe this is why I never liked joints.
You just have to relax and let the weed do its thing
Sounds like you were pressured in to it. You have to want to do it to like it. Also you probably shouldn't have gotten so high for your first time.
4-5 hits is a lot for your first time, my first time I shared a spliff with 5 other people, I was still pretty high. If you do it again don't have as much, you should be fine.
4-5 bong hits is waaay too much for a beginner. Just 1 big hit gets me high off my ass.
You MUST have fun while tripping, some people just don't like to "enjoy the buzz". Next time try brigning yourself some music with an iPod and some real good headphones, you'll orgasm.
I wasn't pressured into it but I guess I was a little nervous/hesitant. I remember I kept thinking that my brother and his wife (who are cops) would kick down the door and beat the fuck out of me or something. Thanks for the advice. :P
It's all about mindset. You just have to ignore nervous thoughts and they don't bother you. I love it when it hits me like a brick. Just be smoking, wont' feel anything, and then, woah, oh God, I'm high.
i almost always feel it as soon as i start smoking. but im like a pro at smoking and i only buy the best i can get
I've never had paranoia from smoking, it's so wierd, like say if it's really dark and I imagine something bad happening, I instantly turn the situation around in my head and make it funny, it really helps.

I've noticed that it depends on the weed and the tolerance and stuff. Some stuff takes a while (and everyone usually gets hit around the same time), and some stuff is instant.
I had some real big creeper kush a few weeks back. I thought I got ripped off because I smoked a fat ass bowl of it and felt [B]nothing[/B]. Then I smoked 2 more bowls and still felt nothing. Then I was packing the 4th bowl and it took 30 minutes. :smug:
When I started, it took 5-15 minutes for weed to really kick in, but now I feel it as soon as I exhale.
4-5 bong hits, and your a beginner? Fucking overkill...
Jesus, I just smoked a joint my first time.
Whoaa, I just took a few hit wrom an amzinf black bong. Holy shit, I'm fucked.
I didn't really wanna take that many hits but they told me they knew what I should do so I just went with it. They were telling me to do more but by then, I started slipping into it way before they did. They had to have done like 8 before they finish. I really hated the burn though, my lungs felt like they were on fire. The burn stayed with me until the next day.
You definitely OD'd on fun.
I think I'll try it again but I'm looking for a job at the same time. For someone who doesn't smoke much and weighs 130 lbs, how long would it take for it to get out of my system?
10-20 days are fine for most tests. However some tests are more accurate (blood test, hair test).
