Bud

[ComfortableInChaos]

So... My cousin's friend has weed and we were talking and he said he'd smoke with me... But I've never smoked weed before. Any advice before I smoke and what it's like your first time would be helpful. I have a couple questions, too...
Have you smoked bud? When was the first time you did? Do you still do it?

Well, I hope you are in Colorado where its legal, but even then you are not 21 so it would not matter. I am not encouraging you to smoke, because it really is not all that and not that good for you, but if you are, hopefully this will help.

I used to smoke. Don't anymore. Smoked the first time freshman year. I got extremely paranoid when I got high and it was not really worth it because it distracted me from day to day things.

There is different types of bud, which will give you a different experience. Your experience will also depend on how much you smoke. Usually though the first time is always good unless you are one of those who really really can't handle any type of drug. My advice is to not get too high if you are going to do it. Wait a bit in between hits to see how high you are, especially if you are using a bong. You'll get a lot more of the THC from a bong than a bowl. If you don't get paranoid, almost everyone has a first time experience that goes like: you laugh a lot about stupid or not funny things, you get a disoriented type feeling (you are not really-- its all in your head-- but it can seem like it. One of my friends says when she gets high she feels like she's in Narnia because trees open up and take different shapes for her.) You'll get really hungry and time will either go by painfully slow or incredibly fast, depending on what you are doing. If you get really, really high you can get kind of impaired and have a difficulty walking, but that's also mental-- if you really focus on what you are doing that feeling will go away. Also your sense will be heightened, food will taste good, sex will be better-- a lot better. Stuff like that.

It's not necessarily 'bad for you' if you do it once, but it's certainly not good for you. Be careful about the people you smoke with for the first time too. If your cousin invites some sketchy kids or reckless ones it might not be a good idea to smoke with them. Tell him just you guys and no ones else, especially for the first time. Also, please don't be the kids who hot box in cars driving up and down the streets. It's a great way to get caught, or worse, in a car accident. Do it in a smart and safe place. Also, if you have asthma.... don't smoke. I think it's common sense why, but your lungs could close up like no other if you had bad asthma and you could have a serious attack. Don't take your inhaler before hand as a loop hole around it either because doing that and smoking is just bad for your lungs.

I've smoked a few times, but very far and few in between, and I really know nothing about weed, or even the proper way to smoke it. First of all, before you smoke it, think about what you are doing next. Don't drive home, avoid parents or anyone else you might get in trouble by. Be responsible. Weed shouldn't inhibit your ability to make decisions so much. Ive only smoked out of a pipe, if you are, remember to hold the hole on the side. I always forget, I can't remember what it's called, and don't get your tongue on it, people get pissed when you do. As the user above said, be careful who you are with, don't over do it. Youll start to feel it after one hit. Also, if you decide you've had enough or don't want to do it again, there's nothing wrong with that. Weed can be fun, but it's still not good for you. Idk if I've smoked bud, like I said I don't know anything about weed itself, is bud just a nickname or a type of weed? The first time I smoked I got a lot of anxiety, but I don't anymore.
