Smoking weed for the first time? You can expect that

First experiences with marijuana can vary widely. While some have great memories of their first smoking with their friends, others recall a paranoid mess. Despite the fact that people have been getting high for hundreds of years, we still know very little about the drug and its capabilities.

We know that the way you think, your body, and the type of marijuana you use can all have an impact on your high and make very different first impressions from person to person. You could relax and giggle as your buddy gets paranoid and anxious.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the most common reactions you can expect from your first time weed use, ranging from the good to the bad to the very common when nothing happens.

The good

If everything goes right on your first smoking session, the people using the drug should be comfortable and enjoying themselves. Giggling fits are very common. Their bodies have not been exposed to cannabis, which means there is no tolerance. People who experience a good first high report feeling happy, relaxed, and very aware of their surroundings, including the perception of colors, sensations, and more. Because of this, gifted people can have in-depth conversations about the condition of their shoes. Also why they eat so voraciously.

The bad

Bad highs usually occur when beginners smoke too much or hang out in a place that is uncomfortable for them, such as a crowded party. Since people’s bodies are devoid of tolerance, a punch or two should be enough to get them over their threshold. If someone is naturally anxious, smoking weed can also increase the likelihood of having a bad time, and their lack of experience with the drug could make this easier and cause them to worry that other people “know” that they are high and dry mouth and thirsty.

To prevent a bad high, it is important to moderate the amount of weed smoked. It is also important to surround yourself with people you trust and with whom you do not feel judged. When a bad high does occur, keep in mind that these are temporary and harmless and can be quickly resolved by taking a nap.

Another thing that is very likely is that first-time visitors will not learn anything after using marijuana. This has a scientific explanation: Experts believe that THC must interact with some people’s bodies multiple times in order to activate their endocannabinoid system. This is known as the “awareness phase”. Once your body learns to interact with THC, it will learn to respond accordingly.
