I've never used pot before, and my friend is bringing over some brownies later from a little get-together she's at right now. Just wondering what to expect. How long does it take for it to kick in, and is there any difference between smoking it and eating it? We were originally planning on drinking a little tonight...should I just not bother mixing the two at all? Oh, and anything I can do to limit how long it stays in my system. I'm supposed to be job hunting now and don't know if I'll be doing any drug tests soon......then again, I've been "job hunting" for the past three or so months. But that's another topic.

Also, does finally doing pot make me cool now? I'm betting on it.


on a side note, I just noticed the "increase size, decrease size" feature at the bottom of the text box. Holy SHIT this is cool. I knew doing drugs made you see the world differently, but BEFORE you even do them? I should've started smoking pot years ago....maybe I would have amounted to something.

 

[FortNinety]

This thread might turn out pretty interesting...

I've never done pot, I'm still cool

What I really want to know is if the moment I take it, will everything turn pretty colors as psychadelic 60s music starts playing out of no where? If not, then fuck it.

No.

I'm told pot makes the whole world look like you're reading one of those topics where we gays post sensual, erotic, and nude pictures of gorgeous men.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Smoking pot will get you laid.

You'll feel like you've had a couple of beers combined with a dizzy spell and things will make you laugh easier - no colours, no elephants, just enjoy - and make sure you have 2 player games with eye candy close at hand - I recommend DOA3 for an awesome stoner bash-fest.

Edit - And cat-fish is right, dont cough once and give up - push through until you say to yourself, holy moley, I am stoooned.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

For a lot of people pot doesn't get you stoned the first time you do it.

the way to remedy this is to take HEAPS the first time. Don't stop having any until you actually start to feel stoned.

EDIT: If you eat it, it takes ages. like 90+ minutes..... So eat heaps to make sure.

I can't tell if this is valid advice or an attempt to kill me over the internet.

[teiresias]

Just make sure you chase the brownies with those hardboiled eggs of yours.

 

[Ecrofirt]

pot isn't all it's cracked up to be.

It just loosens you up so you can laugh at things more. Waste of money, and you won't even get high tonight in all likelyhood.

Nope I'm being serious.

Pot can't kill you. If you are going to be drinking as well, don't start drinking until you are actually stoned though. If you get drunk and then stoned it can give you the spins if you are not used to it. The spins suck.

 

[Fusebox]

Valid advice.

Also smoking does your head in way better than eating, eating just munts your reflexes and slows your whole body down.

As for the order, drink a couple of beers first and then share your joint for optimum w00tness.

Edit - he he, differing opinions on the order of consumption - my way will give you the dutch courage to drawback longer and harder and will hit your hard, catfishes is more mild but tends to make me sleepy if I smoke and then drink, whereas I get hyped up if I drink and then smoke.

This almost definitely won't happen. By the way, eating weed is a far, far different high than when you smoke it (usually a better one, IMHO).

My first time (a long, long time ago, I was 12) was OK, but I went in with pretty high (no pun intended) expectations and was a little let down. Don't be surprised if you are too, it's not really that intense.

meh, he's eating brownies. Even people who've never done it before tend to get high off brownies.

And yes, you will suddenly metamorphosize into a superior human being after you take them.

I also, always tell the world before I do something illegal....

Oh yeah, and drink AFTER you're ripped. Otherwise you'll probably just fall asleep. :\

Listen to this person. They speak the truth when it comes to the spins. Same goes for the first timer thing. A lot of people I know never felt shit their first time, but the second... that was the good stuff. You don't really have to do a lot to make up for it, though. Frankly, I'd take the first bit (however much your friend is doing) and wait it out. If it doesn't do nothing in a half hour or so, chill for a couple hours and then take another batch. That ought to do you better. It might suck because you don't get to be high at the same time as your friend, but that's just the way it is the first time. Definitely don't try to overcompensate on your first time without giving a reasonable dose a chance first, though. You might be one of the lucky ones.

Ah, mom would be proud.

 

[Fusebox]

Lol, it's funny how different people have different theories about this stuff - for me it's the exact opposite.

Edit - but I'm talking about smoking, you guys are talking about eating so thats probably where the difference lays.

Angel dust is where it's at.

[Virgin Wii]

Take some advice from a veteran pot head, moi. Eating brownies will give you more of a body buzz than an actual high, and that can be pretty cool if that's what you're looking for. The effects take much longer to kick in when you eat as opposed to smoking, which is usually immediate (immediate meaning within 1-5 minutes). I'd say you should feel the effects 30 mins to an hour after consumption. Don't drink, as that'd just screw up your digestion. Besides, you'd want your first time to be pure, wouldn't you?

If you ever smoke and decide to drink, get drunk first. Something bad happens to my high when I smoke before drinking. I'm not the only stoner in my group thar feels this way.

I don't know much about that stuff, but some day I really wanna try shrooms. That shit sounds awesome.

Thanks for the advice folks. I won't take any of it into account at all, as I just posted this thread for attention. I mean...... thanks.

Best friends - see my posts above.

 

[demon]

Alright, so when she gets here, should I just scarf down all of my share, or what? Particularly if it takes longer to kick in from eating and if it doesn't have much of an effect on newbs.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I dunno why I'm always being offered pot but I always turn it down.

I would love a vibe right now

Well, if you eat them all right away, she's gonna think you're a pig. Highs are highs, but manners are a social must.

 

[Fusebox]

I'd say eat about 1 or 2 brownies first and then put on an album and wait till it get towards the end of it before you start scoffing more.

 

[Suranga3]

This thread just reminded me that its 4-20 today!

 

[Zaptruder]

If you want a really good high, just go jump off a building.



Just make sure you pack a parachute when you do it.

 

[Fusebox]

But the come-down sucks.

GET IT?!?!>?! :lol :lol :lol :lol

I don't know if you're going to enjoy it that much if you're eating brownies for your first time, so the first bit of advice I'll give you is: Don't give up on pot just because your first experience isn't great.
Eat the brownies however you want to, have a little snack ready for later so you can find out how great food is while high, and also some drinks (alcohol might give you a headache). If you smoke cigs, I definately reccomend that you try that too, nothing better than a smoke after some pot.
As for your question about shrooms: If you're getting them from someone you trust, definately try it. I've done quite a few drugs in my time, and shrooms are either at the top of my list, or right after E (though I've only done each of those once).

 

[teiresias]

I find the whole "don't give up on pot" bit, like it's some child possibly flunking out of 1st grade and all he needs is someone to believe in him, rather disturbing.

Never done pot, wouldn't mind trying some E, but my government employment makes such activities a rather risky proposition.

I'm supposed to be job hunting now and don't know if I'll be doing any drug tests soon......then again, I've been "job hunting" for the past three or so months. But that's another topic.

Eatin' it takes a fairly decent amount of time to kick in, depending on amount and speed of consumption. Smokin' it has a pretty quick onset, although it still takes a bowl or two to feel certifiably stoned if you're a consistent smoker. If you got some killer weed, though, it might just take a few hits. Depends on what you get, maaaaan.

As to limiting how long it stays in your system, yes - you can get one of them system cleaners. Follow the directions exactly and leave yourself some time between your test and the time you get high and you should be fine. They're not the cheapest things, though. Ah, the price of being clean!

What I really want to know is if the moment I take it, will everything turn pretty colors as psychadelic 60s music starts playing out of no where? If not, then fuck it.

As stated, that's LSD or Shrooms. However, if you get a good high music does tend to have an amplified effect; which is to say depending on your high it can feel/sound different. Songs that before you weren't too keen on can become something that really gives you a good vibe, while others that you really love might just not fit into your weed-mood. I love listening to music when I'm really fucking stoned. Of course, it's not as good as when you're trippin' balls or rollin' ass or zonin' out. It's all in the drugs and dose.

I can't tell if this is valid advice or an attempt to kill me over the internet.


....?

can't die from a weed overdose. although like all things where you're inhalin' smoke there's a decent chance you might develop lung cancer if you stay consistent over a long period of time. That said, you're eatin' it so it's not something you have to worry about. Contrary to popular bullshit myths, marijuana doesn't burn your braincells and you won't suddenly lack motivation by taking it. You also won't suddenly feel compelled to snort a line of coke off your cousins asshole.

I don't know much about that stuff, but some day I really wanna try shrooms. That shit sounds awesome.

Shrooms is pretty good, but I hate eatin' them. I'm an Ecstasy man myself, though. I mean, well, used to be. Not anymore, but if I was still into drugs hardcore that'd be my main dig. Nothing - nothing nothing nothing - compares to the feelin' of those first few hardcore rolls. To be young and rollin' for the first time again... *swoon*

 

[LakeEarth]

Trust me, if this is your first time, you aren't gonna feel too much. Usually takes a few tries.

 

[Amir0x]

Trust me, if this is your first time, you aren't gonna feel too much. Usually takes a few tries.

That's not always true. It was true for me, I mean, but I definitely know people who were certifiably stoned on their first tries. We have to smoke them up more than the rest of us, but they definitely got stoned.

This guy definatley knows what he's talking about. Only had the chance to do E once, but it really was like Ecstacy, I haven't felt better in my entire life. I really want to try it again, but it would have to be from a random dealer, and I can't convince myself to take that risk, I only use shit if I know it's legit. I've also heard that you can build up a tolerance to E really quickly, and can stop enjoying the effects as early as your 5th time. If that's the case, I'm goign to make sure that every time i do it, I am 100% prepared, and ready to have the greatest time ever.

 

[demon]

Well WHATEVER.

Before she got a chance to come over here, she got "fall-down-the-stairs drunk" and was taken back home, and no mary jane for me tonight. I think some was saved for the weekend, though. LE FUCKING SIGH.

 

[AntoneM]

I was terribly stoned my first time, I was just hanging with a friend and he went to get stoned so I asked if I could join him. My first ever rip was off a smallish bong but then he called up some of my other stoner friends and my buddies busted out the 24" bong I believe the diameter was about 1" and they told me when to stop filling the chamber, after that hit I was certifiably baked, I even got paranoid because I could feel my heart pound and my family has a history of heart problems so I was like "get the phone in case I have a heart attack" of course all they did was laugh at me, ahh... good times.

 

[Lil' Dice]

Although i'm just a casual weed smoker, i love the feeling of being high on marijuana; but i only feel comfortable being high in my home with plenty of snacks, and some pussy nearby.

I can understand the fears. Ecstasy is really popular now, and it's often cut with all sorts of crazy shit. I'm with you. For something like this, you gotta know your tolerance and you gotta know what you're taking. But yeah, Ecstasy is the greatest feeling known to man. I wrote about it in another thread...

"It's such a subtle come up with a BANG at the end.

Like... if you have a good roll, you know immediately. Because the second you swallow a good roll you immediately feel different, but you can't quite put your finger on it. But then that feeling goes away.

And you're sitting around talkin' about stupid shit with your friends, and slowly but surely you begin to feel that "tingle" you mention. It comes in waves, too. One level. Next level. Progressively better.

And then the next moment, you'll try to get up... and the massive, all-encompassing joy will have consumed your body. Nothing on Earth is comparable to that first boom. Every wave of the hand, every gasp of breathe, every single touch feels amplified by a pure joy converter. You'll try to get up, and perhaps the joy will be so overwhelming that you'll slowly plop back down. You'll attempt it again, this time making special note about how every single joint in your body seems to glide over seratonin-fueled waves. Utter empathy toward every last thing on the planet. Not the regular empathy, either. Uncontrollable mind-numbing, orgasmic empathy that allows any barrier to be completely shattered. If you think alcohol does the job well, you ain't seen nothing until you're in a room filled with rollers.

And then you'll want to explore what is different about your surroundings. But not in that way you see people who are tripping hard do it - what rollers want is to feel what is different with your surroundings. You'll want to get your girl and experience that first kiss on Ecstasy. Your hands will melt into each others, connecting on a level that defies any you have previously acknowledged. A deeper, emotional level where you don't feel the need to keep secrets, or to hurt other people, or to continue your vendettas or arguments or hatred or disappointment... empathy. It's total, body-consuming empathy."

As for building up tolerance, yeah... it can happen Quickly. Won't be on your fifth time, though. I took E too many times to count (I was at the point where I would take E two or three times a week, at up to 6 pills at a time! If you know anything about E, after you have a good roll it takes a few days for your seratonin levels to return to normal, so the extent of my abuse was pretty excessive) but it still felt great when I did take a high enough dosage. But when you get to that point, that shit does a number on your body. Ecstasy was the only thing I've ever had trouble quitting. I felt exhausted, eating felt horrible and painful, and it was just a generally awful experience.

So in conclusion: Everything in moderation is good! Don't abuse your PLEASURE PRIVALEGES.
