We know that sometimes it can be scary to try new things , the unknown of what is to come can make us feel uncomfortable. For example, such is the case with the first tattoos or piercings, we have no idea what we are going to face, which can make our stomach turn Rapé.
Or perhaps these same feelings are provoked by having to face the first day at a new job, go on a first date and the list could go on. But what have we learned from all these first times doing things besides the fact that we have to face our fears?
When it comes to stoners, we’ve all been at square one at some point and had to climb the ladder to become stoners. We all had to put our fears aside, smoke marijuana for the first time, and experience all those new sensations when we got high.
And what do we find? The Wonderful World of Mary Jane! So, in case he is looking to try marijuana for the first time, here are a couple of helpful tips that will make him feel confident during his first experiences with cannabis.
- KNOW WHO TO SHARE THIS FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH
If you’re going to smoke marijuana for the first time in your life, we highly doubt you’re thinking about tackling this alone, and if so, don’t do it.
This is an experience meant to be shared with the people you care about, with whom you will always share these beautiful (and fun) memories.
Regarding this aspect we have two suggestions:
Get high for the first time with your stoner friends;
Or try marijuana for the first time with those friends who have never done it either.
Choosing the right people to share this experience with is essential to ensuring a good time when you try marijuana for the first time. Let us explain both options in more detail to help you choose which one makes you most comfortable.
GETTING HIGH FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH HIS STONER FRIENDS
This one is especially suitable for those of you who need a feeling of security and peace of mind when trying something new. Consider it like entering the world of stoners with a sensei stoner friend.
These friends will be able to make you feel good throughout the experience and take care of any of your personal needs. In fact, they most likely feel like their little bird is flying from the nest, so they will be more excited for you, maybe even more over the top than you.
Your friends are sure to come with all their favorite things to enjoy while you’re baking, like their favorite snacks and activities. Additionally, since they have already been in many different drug addiction situations, they will know exactly what to say and how to treat you in each of them.
TRYING MARIJUANA FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH EQUALLY INEXPERIENCED FRIENDS
A good second alternative to trying marijuana for the first time is to smoke with friends who have also never tried marijuana. This way, you can feel comfortable knowing that everyone is in exactly the same situation as everyone else.
Get ready for the night, afternoon or whenever to get weird and fun! Trust us, this is an experience you won’t forget.
All those first high memories still manage to put a smile on our faces when we look at them, so make sure you enjoy them to the fullest because one day you will sigh with nostalgia for these golden days, man, did we get high? those first times.
- CHOOSE THE RIGHT PLACE TO STAND
Now, still speaking along the lines of comfort and feeling of security, you should first consider the place where you would like to get high for the first time.
Ideally, this place should be somewhere you already know, to have a sense of familiarity, for example, a friend’s house or your own, that park you always go to, or any other place you would normally go to relax. On the contrary, in general, avoid overcrowded and overstimulating places.
Because? Well, you’re going to meet your drugged self for the first time, and you don’t want any outside sources to come and disturb this experience. Your sense will be enhanced so that any disturbance can turn your experience into a not so pleasant experience.
Lastly, make sure you choose wisely the day you’ll lose your stoner virginity. This means having no obligations to address later, or you’ll wish you hadn’t made such commitments. On your first high, you should relax and enjoy!
- “WAIT… I’M FEELING… NOTHING”
Another common occurrence when trying cannabis is expecting to get incredibly high, only to find that you’ve been feeling, well, not at all , disappointing, right? No, it’s not that marijuana sucks, trust us, it’s a common thing that happens.
This doesn’t mean you can’t get high the first time you smoke, it all depends on what? We’re not sure, maybe you weren’t sucking in the smoke properly, or who knows why, it’s just something that happens.
Ask anyone and you’ll find many different versions, people who didn’t feel anything at all the first time and those who got extremely high. However, take a couple of minutes before you decide to smoke a little more to allow enough time for the effects to take effect and avoid doing too much, which brings us to our next point.
- TAKE IT EASY! YOU CAN ALWAYS DO A LITTLE MORE, BUT YOU CAN’T QUIT
Considering that your body is virgin cannabis, you will have to pace yourself until you reach a level of euphoria that you feel comfortable with. This means don’t jump straight into the pool, but follow the steps.
Take a couple of puffs and allow yourself a few moments to see if you feel the effects. Can you still drive a little more? So go ahead, just don’t do too many things at once because the effects could become too overwhelming and end up overshadowing what could once be an enjoyable experience.
It is much better to take things slow, baby steps, baby steps and gradually increase the amounts than to regret it later. Lastly, ask for suggestions on what to smoke, some strains are much stronger than others, which you should perhaps skip for now.
- KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT AND ALLOW THE FEELINGS TO FLOW
One problem I often see among people trying marijuana for the first time is that they start to overthink the effects to the point of killing the vibe of their high. Instead, be sure to ask your friends what it feels like for them to get high.
This way, you will already have the idea before . Being high is about allowing your thoughts to flow and not thinking too much about anything that might make you uncomfortable.
For example, I always like to give an example of how easily I can burst into tears when I’m sad and high, if I let the feelings overwhelm me, of course.
Instead, I dodge that bullet and think about other things that interest me, or I distract myself with what’s around me, talk to my friends, etc., etc. This means that when you are high, keep in mind that you are the one in control of everything you feel , so direct those feelings in good places. And don’t try it if your mental state is not optimal that day.
And if you feel like things are getting out of control, definitely call one of your friends to help you get rid of those feelings, it works in most cases. And if all else fails, there’s nothing that can’t make for a good nap.
EXPECT DRY MOUTH AND APPETITE
Finally, be aware of some of the common side effects that marijuana provides, such as classic cotton mouth, a profound dryness of the mouth, and cravings, a strong urge to eat after a couple of hours of getting high.
What we mean by “expect these side effects” is that if you have all those things on hand, water and snacks, you will 100% need them. Keep in mind that he may be visibly high due to his swollen red eyes, so avoid people who might judge him for that.
- CONCLUSION
If you want to try marijuana, you only have to do one thing: try it! Don’t be one of those who judge it without ever having tried it. Once you’ve done it, feel free to review it.
Life was meant to be lived this way, we are curious, we face our fears and we try, we learn, we repeat. Also, what does someone who is comfortable in their fears learn? It doesn’t matter if the results match your expectations, if we never make mistakes, how would we progress?
I’d rather run and find out I’ve hit my head against the wall than sit around dreaming about running. The next time I run I will have learned to avoid that wall. Go ahead, get high for the first time and enjoy!
