How do I start smoking weed What are the different versions Beginner guide

>>13118 Try taking a microdose of an edible on an empty stomach first, for your first time this should be enough to actually get you high, start small.

>>13119 Sometimes doesn't work though, I started out with weed trying low dose edibles like 4 times and didn't feel anything, then the fifth time with the same dose of the same edibles it had very strong effects.

>Roll in cigarette paper >Smoke it like a cigarette >Yes that means breathe it into your lungs and cough a lot Hit it 5-10 times, or just until you feel like putting it down. Put it out, or drop it in a coffee cup you wisely already had on the table in front of you. Then just chill fam. You'll laugh a lot, maybe at nothing, maybe for too long, and in 2 hours you'll be able to remember where you dropped the weed and smoke a little more. As a perpetual smoker who's smoked daily for 10+ years, with a now innate tolerance, smoking weed to me is like the opposite of how a cup of coffee is seen as a drug. An extremely light narcotic. In the same way that coffee represents productivity and focus, marijuana represents a wandering mind and relaxation. This "wandering mind" is beneficial to some, but not to others; It's said that "Lazy people are often smokers, that does not make Smokers lazy people." As for versions, it's all the same. Strains differ, and so do effects. As a noob smoker, you won't notice, in time you'll know what you like. There is also hash/dabs/kief/rosin/distillate, they're all the same, just different extraction processes for separating the psychoactive oils from the rest of the useless plant matter. Much cleaner, and much stronger, but the same exact thing nonetheless, much like alcohol: All those fancy names are meaningless unless you're talking about taste or etiquette. Warning: You can smoke to much and think you're going to die. You're not going to die. "But what if I'm that 1-in-a-bajillion who does!?!??!" you will ask yourself this question, then you will think back to this thread and consider, "Damn, that fuarrrking Lain knew his soykaf." and lick the cheese off of yourself trying to figure out who ate this entire $2.39cent bag of cheetos and just left the trash in my shower, invert the bag for crumbs, and then play with them for several minutes, perhaps using them to dust for fingerprints

>>13118 I will simplify this down as much as possible. >Sativa in your mind >Indica on the couch >Hybrid in between both states of calm and on the couch but mental as well not too much of one or the other so it's balanced. Always go to a mom and pop smoke shop i promise you they know a lot about products you will be interested in and i worked in one for 2 years. Q&A I like smoking Weed but i would like something not so harsh on my lungs but i do not mind spending a bit more >Get a King Palm I like smoking weed but i need something on the cheap and can roll my own but i like flavor >Juicy J or Twisted Hemp Wraps(Better than the alternative nowadays and good prices) >Kashmir as an honorable mention because if you like RAWS but like something that is a generic version that is cheaper but made by the same company that is the brand to get. I like smoking weed but i would like to put my weed into something that is already pre-rolled for me >Go for the Hemp Cones, RAWS are number 1, but a good alternative on the cheap is Twisted Cones. I would like something that feels clean on the lungs, not too hard to use, but also packs a good punch in 20 minutes and lasts longer >Dry Herb Vape, anything like a XMAX V3 is worth it I would also say on your thing on Edibles it depends what the dosage is and your weight etc. But i will say if Microdose does nothing, go for 5mg or 10mg, just know that Edibles take an hour and a half to take effect, so wait 1 hour and 30 minutes before eating another dose of it, do not try to exceed 10mg at all unless you know you can take it. If you feel nothing, then go for Chocolate and get one small piece and try it, because that stuff has THC oil and it is very strong(1 hour peak and stays there for awhile longer than usual) vs something like a gummy(which gets you high at peak for the first 2 hours then goes down immediately), a Pill(slowly goes up, gently goes back down).

An extremely light narcotic. In the same way that coffee represents productivity and focus, marijuana represents a wandering mind and relaxation. Can agree i will mention when i have taken Marijuana in various forms it has always alleviated my anxiety and helped me to relax on days i worked too much or felt overly stressed but had a few days off to just smoke, watch stuff, play games and overall just bring peace to my thoughts. >This "wandering mind" is beneficial to some, but not to others; It's said that "Lazy people are often smokers, that does not make Smokers lazy people." This is true, often times we get a bad reputation because of lazy stoners, but i do think it's more of a societal problem not prioritizing a good work/life balance causing these people to become lazy or to use it as an escape when they should not do so. Then again i also agree that maybe they need times to relax and not always be busy worker bees. Always though i argue the most creative people ended up being those who used entheogens and managed to alter the paradigms of society from the radio, to the internet, down to AI today which is just crazy but it's because people think outside the box. Entheogens are just keys to unlocking the mind and it's infinite potential. >There is also hash/dabs/kief/rosin/distillate, they're all the same, just different extraction processes for separating the psychoactive oils from the rest of the useless plant matter. Much cleaner, and much stronger, but the same exact thing nonetheless, much like alcohol: All those fancy names are meaningless unless you're talking about taste or etiquette. This is where i have to disagree, not being mean, but Carts/Distillate have something wrong with them unless you are making it yourself, it could be due to a lack of regulations. I have noticed when taking THC Carts that it felt stronger than usual and had a weird body experience vs using Dry Herb Vapes, even the CBD carts kind of made me feel a little dissociative this was not from the Chinese Black Market but actual dispensaries. Dabs/Kief/Hash etc are all good honestly and are the same. So we agree on that. >Warning: You can smoke to much and think you're going to die. You're not going to die.

Do not ever max out. I will also add what helps a lot is Vitamin B12-Complex and Magnesium. For some reason this helped when i had a bad trip from THC Chocolates and it ended up being a bit too much for my body to handle. It cancelled it out slightly, gave me a headache but it improved my mood and made me swear to be careful. Would also just focus on playing games and trying to take your mind off of thoughts, Move > see > Think. It will go away eventually.

I don’t like smoke so I went the edible route, follow the time honored wisdom of starting small because you don’t know how it will effect you and besides, you should enjoy not abuse it! On a day off, just 5 mg thc with a cup of coffee and some normal chocolate right after waking up. I found lying on my bed with my body symmetrical really let me explore my mind.

>>13118 Just buy weed and smoke it? You don't have to be a rocket scientist Remember that it will have negative effects on your teeth and your lungs if you do it habitually

First, do you live in a place where it's legal? If yes, just buy a pre roll, light it up and smoke it. If not, you'll need to know someone who smokes, so they may provide you a "contact" or find a contact trough someone they know. If you live in a place where it's illegal and you don't know anybody who smokes, than there is the option to find someone trough the internet. Whatsapp, telegram, instagram, Twitter... There are many ways to find someone on social media, but I'd say it's the most difficult and risky way, still possible. Once you have the weed, just buy the paper, a grinder, and a pack of filters. It's difficult to explain here how to roll the joint, but just watch a tutorial on Youtube and you're good to go. Oh, and something very important. The time and place is very important. In other words, make your first sesh on a place you feel confortable, have privacy so you don't have to worry about "being found" and have plenty to eat and drink. The experience of smoking weed is very dependant on the enviroment, so pay attention to that. Good luck, OP.

Do edibles, no matter if weed hasn't been linked to lung cancer, you're still putting tar in your lungs. You will feel it over time. Don't smoke anything.

>>13244 As a potential perpetual smoker I'm interested in your experiences with long-term weed consumption. Do you smoke during the day, when you got stuff to do or do you only smoke for leisure on your free time? Have you noticed any long-term cognitive changes you might attribute to weed? (for example difficulty concentrating, memory issues, trouble learning new stuff, motivation issues) Do you have any wisdoms to pass on as a 10y smoker to a weed-enthusiast shrub?

I'm going to need some help Lainons. I was prescribed oil. Equal amounts of THC and CBD. Took it the first night. Absolutely nothing. Took it the next morning. Absolutely nothing. Took it in the afternoon. Absolutely nothing. I then began to wonder if I was administering it wrong. I had been putting the oil on my tongue and pretty much swallowing straight after. I tried again in the evening, keeping the oil on my tongue and trying my best to not swallow. I've been depressed for a very long time. Gradually, I began to feel like I actually had emotions. The emotions became quite intense, and fluctuated depending on my thoughts. It felt like my mind was balancing on a ball. If I was thinking happy thoughts I'd feel content, maybe happy, I'm not sure what being happy actually feels like. If I thought about not so nice things my mind would begin to slip into not so great emotions, but I always felt in control. Start thinking happy thoughts, and I began to feel better. Unstable, like balancing on a ball, but I always felt in control. Is this what being "high" is meant to feel like? For the first time in my life I felt what I imagine normal people feel like: I had a range of emotions, though unstable. Before this I had been very flat and rigid. I didn't know what excitement felt like. I don't know what being happy feels like. Was what I felt relaxation, contentness, happyness, or euphoria? I really don't know. I just know it made me feel things.

>>15097 Smoked weed for 13 years, stopped a year and a half ago because I was afraid to lose my driving license (police stops for DUI, specially weed, is frequent in my country) >(for example difficulty concentrating, memory issues, trouble learning new stuff, motivation issues) Not at all on my side. I even remember small details better than my non smoking friends. No difficulties concentrating or learning (in fact, I went back to school after years of working and got my diploma while high 24/7 lmao) >Do you have any wisdoms to pass on as a 10y smoker to a weed-enthusiast shrub? Take care of your lungs and teeth. Avoid tabacco. Try to vape instead of smoking (I know it kinda is like kicking dead whales down the beach) or smoke in a glass pipe/bong. Keep your mouth hydrated (dryness is bad for the teeth) And if you live in a place where weed is illegal like me: -Try not to drive right after smoking -Assume you do smell like weed -Always hide your weed (even small quantities). I love hiding it in heavy electronic equipment like sound electronics or computers-related stuff, with screws and soykaf. Police are scared to mess up with things that look complicated and expensive lol. -When hiding weed, the only thing you can do is use layers to avoid the smell. If you want to avoid K9 detection, use a soykaf-ton of layers but always remember the smell will eventually comes out. More layers = more time. Wash the exterior of every layer with rubbing alcohol (and, of course, your hands). Shit like pepper or parfum WILL NOT WORK at all. And that's about it. Just to be a retard about your weed consumption, less is more (I used to smoke grams and grams everyday and soykaf was expensive, like $200/week expensive, and the high was, at most, mid, because I had a high tolerance)

>get weed >make gravity bong >??? >profit

The time Lain tried to smoke only burnt inner throat. Didnt get high but it was old so could have had it's cannabinoids decomposed perhaps.

>>15113 I smoked years old weed Most likely soykafty weed or you didn't hold the smoke in your lungs enough But I remember my first times, I was so not used to smoking that it burned a lot and even with holding the smoke I didn't get high, it can be weird the few first times.

>>15116 Isn't that just a commonly stoner myth? More scientific sources I find all say it's absorbed almost instantly. > Δ9-THC is almost instantly absorbed into the bloodstream after inhalation whereas absorption after oral ingestion can take an hour or more. https://respiratory-research.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12931-023-02399-1

>>15118 I smoked for years (+10) and holding it a bit (not too long as some people do tho, just 2-3 real seconds) definitely get me higher. I actually crash-tested hundreds of times by holding the smoke as I usually did and by not holding it at all like smoking a cig. Holding it definitely works better, you do get high when not holding it at all tho, so they are not wrong saying it's almost instantly absorbed, I just think you waste like 10% (not a real number, just my personal estimation) if you don't hold for 2-3 secs. So idk why people don't get high when smoking for the first (few) time(s). It happened to me, it happened to friends, and it wasn't a problem with the weed as I bought like 5g for my first time and got high on the same stash a few days after on my second try. Also, the first times I smoked the high was super slow to come, I had to wait 5-10min before feeling high. 10 years later of daily smoking, the high was coming instantly after every hit.

>>15119 Anyone who doesn’t hodl it in is not doing it right.

>>15119 >>15120 >Holding My personal technique is packing up a deep chambered(lots of fresh water) bong all the way, but loosely. Big, single hit, with fast as possible air flow and plenty of flame; I want my burn to glow red hot, not smolder, and I hold for up to 5 seconds. The amount of smoke I hold in is impressive, but without a near perfect assembly, it's nearly impossible to hold any: The theory is to promote carbon fixing to CO2(high temp) instead of CO(low temp+not enough air flow). Limits total free carbons and makes the smoke cleaner with no impact on the high. When taking a half gram to the face, while intending to hold, it's important the smoke is clean to prevent your lungs from rejecting it initially. People who smoked hash know the different cough well - Cannabinoid related cough comes after the hit, not during, and certainly not instantly. If my packs fall through and clog, or otherwise suffer low air flow, I don't hold at all as the smoke becomes inky and unpleasant.

>>15120 i remember my first ever toke my dad handing me his joint and i smoked it like a cig but felt nothing off 2 hits. later on at night he passes another hit to me and tells me to hold it in. I was extremely high and laughing for minutes. now i don't think it was because i didnt hold it in, i think it was because i didnt breathe the hit deep enough.
