Hello people, well for the past couple of months I have been really getting curious about weed. And I haven't completely decided on it yet, but I would like to try it sometime soon, mostly because it seems fun and a couple of my close friends already do it (they're not peer pressuring me or anything lol I was just mentioning it.) so I figured I would try it, I just have some questions.
1st of all, any advice you have for a first-time smoker would be nice.
Second, does smoking effect your blood pressure? cause I have a blood pressure problem (orthostatic hypotension-basicly my blood pressure can fluctuate at times, apparently its not that serious but I was just wondering)
3rd. What kind of weed should I try first? I heard there are all kinds of weed, but what should I try first? and btw I have Anxiety problems already, so I'm also wondering if that can effect it. I know it mellows you out but I heard sometimes you can have bad trips and freak you out.
those are pretty much all the questions I have. And thank you in advance.
1) go with the flow, its not exactly an intense drug, but just try not to resist the feelings
2) Wouldn't worry about it
3) People are going to start saying try indica. You probably won't have a choice unless you are going through a dispensary
Relax and have fun, when you take a toke take another breath to get the smoke into your lungs, wait 2-3 seconds then breathe it out.
1.) Go with it and have fun.
2.) It increases blood pressure temporarily upon first smoking and lowers it with chronic usage. Wouldn't care though.
3.) Anything really.
i can't even focus on the page
For a first timer I would say, inhale properly, listen to Lukeo. Also, bring a bottle of water or two with you, trust me, you'll need them and want them.
Be prepared to get hungry, but don't get carried away and eat too much. (On my first time I ate a whole medium pizza to myself.)
Also, don't freak out, trust me, your legs will work and everything, it's nothing at all like being drunk. Another thing, you can drive (hopefully (i'm a great driver when i smoke)) Personally at first I doubted myself, but then there was a situation when i needed to drive right after I smoked and i was completely fine. So trust me, just have faith in yourself. Fight the paranoia, learn not to give as much of a fuck, and have some fun!
In terms of strains your first type that you'll usually come across is high grade (people sometimes refer to it as kush, even though kush isn't a grade, it's a strain, but people like to generalize.) Or you might come across some mids. Don't get it twisted, there are some good china grades out there, so don't be afraid to experiment, and don't always listen to the hearsay. A lot of people are uneducated on the matter; myself included. If i'm wrong, correct me, but i'm pretty sure i'm right about all that.
Thanks everyone for all the info, as for the anxiety and paranoia, I've had some pretty bad problems with anxiety before, but I've learned to deal with it so I should be good with that. The biggest problem I have is just with the blood pressure (guess thats one thing that I'm paranoid about I haven't dealt with lol) cause I really don't want to pass out or anything (it's happened before, not while smoking weed but still, it aint fun) orthostatic hypotension is just like, when you're laying down, and you suddenly get up and you get dizzy or nauseous or both, and I guess it's possible to pass out if you stand up too fast (challenge accepted:P) but yeah I just don't want to pass out or have a stroke. everything else I can deal with
You'll be fine, and you'll probably not get a choice of which type of strain you will get. I have only had sativa once and every other time it's always been indica. I wouldn't put down either kind. But the sativa was a nice change. Just get prepared, you're going to want something to munch on, healthy or not. You'll probably get frames the first time (which is really awesome), it's just like having low FPS for a bit.

I know a couple people with blood pressure issues (don't know any details about what they are), but I haven't heard any complaints from them whilst high.
A great man once said "if your not smoking weed cause you got a job them by all means make your paper booboo, but if you aint got a job and you aint smoking weed then I don't know what the fuck you are doing with your life"
alright, well, I'll just ask my friend (I'm pretty sure he's the biggest druggy in the school honestly) to give me something he thinks I should try first. And lately I've been eating everything in sight so I can't even imagine me being high haha. but yeah I'll bring some food and a lot of water. and that sounds freaky but awesome. where should I smoke? and I'm definitely going to bring a friend with me so should he get high too or should he be sober?

Oh, I wouldn't recommend driving while having the FPS type effect visuals. It means your time dilation is REALLY fucked up and you should stay off the road. You will have some crazy abstract thoughts at that level though. :) Best thing is to sit down and let it takes it course.
are you just smoking joints? if you're hitting from a bong or pipe you're definitely going to cough, i don't know about joints though.
If you cough, remember to take your mouth off the piece
Take your time. I remember I got extremely high the first couple times I smoked. And I was smoking mids.
I remember feeling crazy sensations, experiencing time dilation and the feeling of impending doom one night, haha.
But after a month, I started developing a good tolerance. And nowadays, it's difficult to find some good stuff that gets me really high anymore.

Joints make me cough very often, they're all I smoke.
relax and take notes, while i take tokes of the marijuana smoke
if you dont cough, you dont get off

lol you're treating this way too seriously, you're not about to drop acid, you're smoking weed, now I know the world wants you to believe that it's this intense serious thing, but it's about as intense as a night drinking, but better for you and in my opinion, just better

idc what the world says. I'm just a paranoid fuck:P
Weed causes tachycardia upon smoking. This is a short-term affect that usually lasts a few minutes at most, so you can decide if it's work the risk.

i thought my heart only fealt like that cause i was peaking.
i'll ask in here too; how easy it to stop? how bad will one smoke affect me health wise?
thanks

Unless you're as mentally frail as an icicle, quitting will be as easy as doing whatever you normally do. Smoking once won't have any lasting health effects, or any short term either.
[QUOTE=falloutguy;35089006]idc what the world says. I'm just a paranoid fuck:P[/QUOTE]
Well even if that's so, here's one less thing to be paranoid about, weed.
I started 'bout two months ago and I prefer it over drinking, I used to had wild weekends every fucking time but with weed it is just chill and eating.

It's pretty easy to stop smoking weed, just don't think about it. You don't go through any withdrawals or anything.
[QUOTE=ljonny;35092839]It's pretty easy to stop smoking weed, just don't think about it. You don't go through any withdrawals or anything.[/QUOTE]
actually to some degree you do but you have to smoke a lot and I'm talking everyday for a year or so but their mild so its not like cigarettes where you feel like shit you just get mild agitation
I don't think one smoke has bad effects on your body and yeah its really easy to quit. You forget it pretty quick. Coughing is one thing you should be prepared to. I remember my first big bong hits and next 5 minutes I was in the kitchen trying to keep myself together and drinking ice cold water straight from the faucet. Its just few small things and nothing to worry about. You are going to do fine and have lots of fun! :D
where should I smoke? I'm assuming it leaves some kind of smell after you smoke so I don't think I should do it in my house?
