First time smoking :)

To me the perfect joint is .7 grams. It's just the right size to allow a good hit without having to draw too hard and still lets you enjoy the flavor of the weed. You don't have to smoke the whole thing at once

.7 grams in what sized paper? 1.25 maybe? I use a crutch as well. I normally eyeball mine. Once upon a time I was trying to be super conservative and rolled .2 grams into some tobacco and smoked that. It got me high as I recall. It really brought down my tolerance too.

My preferred papers are white Zig Zag Kutcorners. I've rolled a lot of joints so no need for measuring. They all come out to .7 grams, 40 joints per oz

I was 13 when i first smoked, it was with an older kid and a girl i liked. We were hanging out at the local beach at night smoking a poorly rolled joint and getting the giggles and a severe case of the munchies. The night ended with the girl becoming my lifelong girlfriend.... her name is Mary jane.

Nothing happened to me the first several times I smoked. Apparently this is common as I know others who had the same experience. maybe that should be an option.

Same here. I was 14, almost 15 when i first smoked. I did have really red eyes, candies tasted good and music sounded bit more intense and my cousin who i smoked with(and who had already smoked for some years prior) said that im stoned as fuck(me looking myself at mirror i looked stoned as fuck), but i just did not notice it myself. I think it was the 3rd time of smoking when i started to notice what it is like to be stoned, but maybe like 5th time when it hit properly. And that was with a 1.5L gravity bong packed full of super creamy smoke, which made me cough my lungs out for a while, but i managed to take the hit fully. I just simply did not notice the difference of being stoned and not being stoned. I think it might have to do with that i dont respond in general as strongly to weed than most people. I start to physically feel too sick to smoke more(or lungs cant handle more) before my thinking process gets disrupted much at all, and even if i smoke so much that i puke and stuff, it just seems to clear up my head, but make it really hard to physically move.

Shrooms also dont seem to have very strong effect on me. But that might be due to weed tolerances.

My first time was over 50 years ago Mom wanted to know if I was drunk?

This link is perfect for you. You can enter the strain type and it will tell you how much to smoke per your tolerance level.

My tip as a new smoker is to keep the tolerance low and smoke less. The less you smoke, the less you have to smoke to get high !

I smoked a joint with two friends, circa 1994. I didnt get so stoned as I was excited from partaking in it. It was like that for a while, maybe the quality of the weed. Some bud was better than others and I freaked the fuck out several times, like psychedelic high. Mostly we rolled cones and smoked from those old metal pipes and later it turned into blunts and mostly I just got real stoned and we laughed and ate and hung out. I'm more sensitive now and don't smoke as much anymore and still get a little paranoid. I very much want to know what those strains were that made me freak out year ago..

I'd guess a racy sativa is what you want. I got some super good Jack Herer once that was almost too racy and potent, but after a couple bowls it became my favorite until the ounce was gone.

It was brick weed, probably Mexican. But something they grew in Mexico that was probably from somewhere else, a haze maybe. It was near brown very compressed and stringy like tobacco. It could have been dusted. I smoked so many different kinds back then, wish I knew what they all were... that's why I mainly buy older strain seeds...

You poor guys that started with shwag. . I didn't even know what that was until I moved to California, lol. I just thought it was all chronic.

And my first time we got ripped as fuck. My friend and I were 13 at an elementary school carnival and I saw a friend who asked if I'd ever smoked and so we went across the street into the woods and smoked a bowl of skunky shit in a Coke can. I was instantly ripped and couldn't climb back over this tiny fence at first. I had just found pure bliss. We went back to my friends and sat around with his parents and his sister and kept busting up.

People who say weed doesn't get them high aren't smoking good weed. I've had to prove that to people before. They say it doesn't do anything but about 20 minutes after I smoke them out they start tripping out, and pacing around, lol.

Oh ya apples. We even tried smoking apple seeds to get high when we were out of weed. Tried banana peels too, lol. We'd also go to the plumbing section of a hardware store and build copper pipes out of parts. You don't have to be 18 to buy plumbing parts.

Yup. We tried smoking oregano. I kept a small clear bag of it in a belly bag, I think, or a back pack, and on Halloween we went out bombing and I forgot it was in there and the cops caught us and searched us and found it. They tried to say it was weed and my mom got wind of it and demanded it be returned.. that it was her kitchen spices... which, it was... endless stories. Unfortunately my life now isn't so exciting. But maybe that's also a good thing...

Early 90's, I was in 7th or 8th grade. An older kid who was like a Junior or Senior in HS just got back from Amsterdam with some Super Skunk. He invited me and another friend to the BMX track to toke up. We sat there and smoked a few bowls and I was high like the scene from Half Baked. I remember I kept laughing and spitting my non existant spit on the older kid lol. I thought it was hilarious. Anyway, I was hooked from that day forward. The next named strain I can remember was some Northern Lights brough back from Amsterdam. I remember that being some seriously psychadelic stuff. There was this far off omnipotent "voice" in the background kinda like it was on a megaphone or something. Seriously trippy stuff, but I was also a young toker at the time so my tolerance wasn't exactly what it is today.

One particular bag of NL had the best bag appeal I've seen to this day. Little mint green baby pinecones, soft, squishy, not a lot of dark orange hairs. big calyxes. Frosty. 96ish.

I also smoked white widow and rhino in the late 90s, people were growing it then. Also Church. There was also blueberry mid-90s, lots of stuff that all looked different. I'm excited to be growing out so many old school strains now to check them out...

Hell ya. Western Washington always had awesome weed too. I had friends convince me that I wasn't talking even though I could hear myself. We went in the woods just so I could smoke a bowl. They weren't major loadies like me. And one of my friends had an older brother that pulled that shit on him with his friends so he did it to me. I just can't believe it worked, lol. One of my friends even fucked up and responded to me at one point and I didn't even catch it.

yeah that NL was unreal stuff, will always remember that. Good blueberry is also great. Hoping to find something worthy in these, and possibly make a few crosses...I also have a few other of AKBB's blueberry offerings. Though I wish I had jumped on some of Dynasty's Blue Magoo BX too

My first time was in HS in the school bathroom. A buddy had some red haired skunk and got me to smoke a bowl with him. I was so stoned I had to focus to walk right. I just left school because no way was I going back into the classroom feeling like I did. I told the attendance lady I had gotten really sick and rushed home and since I'd never skipped before they gave me a pass.
I hit my first Tokemaster bong later that year at our HS formal dress ball. I was seeing tracers I was so high. Got my own Tokemaster later that year for a whopping 35 bucks and kept it stashed in the spare tire area of my car. I miss that generic red haired skunk from back then, damn it was stinky, trippy weed.
