My first experience with cannabis.

So, I guess I should give a bit of background information here. A few days back a close friend of mine asked me if I wanted to smoke weed with her. Now, I've been interested in pot for a while, so I accepted and she was told me to meet her at her house on Friday. As the week passed I got a bit nervous, wondering what Marijuana was like. If I ♥♥♥♥ed up. If I got caught by police, and other garbage, paranoid thoughts I shouldn't have thought about in the first place.

So, the day finally arrived. I got up, made a bit of coffee. showered. etc. In my backpack I had around 200$ comprised of many 20-dollar bills and a few 10's and 5's. A few loonies here and there. I arrived at her house a couple of blocks away and knocked on the door and there she was, in a black coat and jeans. We walked a few blocks down to her dealer and we bought some joints. In all I spent 25 dollars for 5 joints (which looked to be about the width of a Nintendo DS Lite's stylus and the length of a halved pencil.) and she spent 25 dollars on the same amount. We arrived back upon her house and we walked in to her wooden storage shed. She pulled out a lighter and we lit a candle to smoke by. She emptied one of her joints and put the green substance on this mesh-like cover to a bottle of water, half of which had some sort of bag on the end. She told me it was a "lung."

Anyways, she took out a lighter and she set the weed on the bottle mesh on fire, taking care to pull a bit of the bag out, slowly. She let me have the first hit. I felt pretty damned nervous and she even offered to "shotgun" me. Looking that up just now, I wish she did.

I inhaled the smoke in the bottle. She told me to breathe into my lungs and hold it there. Finally, being unable to take any more of the strange gas filling my lungs, I inhaled, then blew the smoke out. It made pretty patterns.

I felt nothing.

She told me to use my own joints now. She told me how to unroll a joint, and I did so. I pinched a bit of the weed and put it on top of the "lung." I lit it with a lighter and slowly lifted the bag out of the bottle, drawing that sweet smoke into the lung. I lifted the bottle to my lips and took another hit. Was sweet.

So while I kept unrolling my joints and taking hits of the lung, she pulled out a pipe. I observed her, smoking the weed. I began to space out and see into forever and I knew it. I was high.

So I unroll the rest of the joints and hit them with the lung while she smokes her pipe. I begin to get really chatty and we shoot the ♥♥♥♥ for a bit, having some giggles. She asked me if I wanted to go out and take a walk through the woods. I agreed.

I found it hard to keep balance. The world was spinning. I grabbed tree trunks to keep balance.

The so-called paranoia began to set in. I got the impression that this forest went on forever and I asked her if we could head inside to a "safe home to sit down."

We hung our coats and took our shoes off. We went up the stairs around the corner to reach her bedroom. It was so very warm and gave off a soothing atmosphere. I sat down on the bed I began to feel the good vibes.

I gave her a hug. She hugged me too. We sorta sat there, telling each other how high we felt. After a while I grabbed my sketchbook, two pencils, the pencil sharpener and we got to work. I tore her off a page of the sketchbook and we began to draw while laughing like maniacs. I drew a potato-lookin head jesus guy. He made me uncomfortable so I flipped to another page. She was sketching out cannabis plants.

After drawing stuff that scared me quite a bit, I decided to watch TV. I flipped around a bit. Nothing decent-looking on. I handed her the remote, grinning and giggling.

I saw an iPod nannou hooked up to a stereo. I took the iPod out of the jack and I replaced it with my iPod touch. I flipped through the list of artists, looking for something nice and relaxing. Ah, Aphex Twin. I skimmed through the list - I finally found Windowlicker and I tapped it. The music began to come out of her rather large and elaborate speaker setup. I laid back on the bed and let the music move through me. Every beat sending reverberations through me. She laid back too and we continued to hug, not saying a word. Only listening to the music and sharing our euphoria.

After a while her phone rang and she "had to be somewhere." At this point I was pretty baked and I still had a bit of trouble keeping balance so I decided to leave my bike, telling her I'd be back for it "someday."

The walk through town was amazing while high. It's as if I was a little baby again. The world entirely new to me. A world of joy, practically begging to be explored.

After wandering aimlessly through the network of houses and streets and signs and sidewalks. I came upon my house and I entered.

I had the munchies! I grabbed a loaf of whole wheat bread and some peanut butter and a knife and I stumbled back to my room, giggling at the spinning fresh world.

I hopped onto my computer and I navigated to my music folder, selecting the folder labeled "Justice." I selected Waters of Nazareth and began to get couchlocked. I tried to play GTA IV for a bit but it was sorta pissing me off and confusing me so I hopped back on and decided to type up my story, still somewhat high.

Did I spend too much on those joints? am I "light weight?"

Also, I would most definitely smoke again, but I'm not addicted to it. Maybe have some giggles with friends but I can't see myself getting baked like that again for a long time.

So, what was your first high like, ZU?

I thought the thread title said cannibals for a moment. 0_0

Meh, I don't need drugs. I'm high on life.

Urgh, it saddens me to see that so many people even want to try these things.
We can argue back and forth all night on how technically harmful they are, but they are totally unnecessary and foolish. I feel bad for people that do drugs for any reason, I really do (and I don't have time for sarcastic "medicines are drugs" comments).

There really is no point. Whatsoever. My feelings are the same on drugs, alcohol (yes it's a drug, but it's a legal one), smoking, and even coffee. I see absolutely no point in starting on any of it, and I have absolutely no desire to. So I guess I consider myself lucky in that regard. (Except I'd actually be willing to try coffee once, whereas I would never come within eight hundred yards of the other things, figuratively).

^unnecessary snark detected.
Kids try stuff, sorry Tonch, cant agree with you there.

Weed. I got no issue with it. As long as folks do it responsibly, its cool. Ive done it so much in my past...
I really dont have time for it now. Every great once in awhile, if someone is passing around a bowl, ill take some.

Snark? Sorry, no.
Recreational drugs are totally unnecessary. You can argue that a lot of things are totally unnecessary, but drugs to me are just stupid and often harmful.

Perhaps. That is your opinion, but you must accept the fact kids experiment with drugs. They may or may not find them fun. They just wanna see what the big deal is.

Yeah. That happens. And I think it's stupid and unfortunate.

Its also a part of life and the learning experience.

I'd be interested in trying but I think I'm too much of a wimp. ;D

Interesting read though!

So are a lot of bad things.
You could say death is a part of life and the learning experience.
(Please nobody yell at me as if I'm trying to equate death to drugs.)

Tonch, I posted this thread to tell people of my first time, not for a "drugs are bad" arguement topic. So uh, mind scooting? I agree with you slightly - I wouldn't dare go any further than weed in terms of recreational drugs... but I'd rather not be host to a flamewar.

So what is the point of this thread, a bunch of pats on the back? Because otherwise this is a "cool story bro" thread.

Also, who's flaming whom?

It's not really a "cool story bro" thread. It's a sharing experiences thread! It's interesting. Usually if you ask someone what being high was like they'd be like "aw man I can't explain it here have a joint"

1. Like Pani said. Experience sharing thread! Maybe I should put that into the OP...

2. Just because there isn't flaming now, doesn't mean there won't be flaming very soon. There will always be THAT jackass who has to get majorly offended at differing opinions.

Good read, bro.

I've never tried smoking out of a lung before, but I quite like gravity bongs.

PS: shotgunning is way better than gravity bongs though. xD

Well fine then, heaven forbid discussion of opinions comes from this.
(I guarantee you if I wrote a heartfelt description of something that happened to me and it didn't have to do with drugs, I'd be met with a million "cool story bro"s.)

All I really did was state my opinion on the matter (what else is one to do in such a thread?), so I suppose if people don't want me to go down this path, people shouldn't call me snarky for thinking drugs are idiotic and pointless.

To tell people about your first time doing something ridiculous, stupid, and something that anyone who gave a rats ass about themselves would not do to begin with, warrants a flame or two. As it doesn't seem that you care much about yourself, since you not only did something you should know better not to do, and then go panning it out to the world as if you just learned to use the toilet, why would you care what a few random interwebs patrons say about your fail choices?

If you want to purposefully **** up, don't go announcing it to the world, especially on a forum which is comprised mainly of younger individuals.

Different opinions, no. Stupid ass ones? Believe it.

Me to

Now I don't smoke but I have some friends that do. I don't care that they do it but I give a word of warning do NOT get into a car when its foggy and the driver is baked.

Some people need to experience something before they think its stupid or ridiculous.

You guys are blowing this way out of proportion.

What we need here is less "i'm right your wrong"

and more

"hey check out this cool new thing I found."
