So I tried pot for the first time the other day, just me and my boyfriend hanging out.  We smoked some out of a pipe, but I didn't actually take a direct hit.  My preferred method for new drugs (or stuff that you have to burn hot) is to let him inhale it for me, then exhale into my mouth.

I took only three hits this way and got really fucked up.  At first the effects were about on par with plain leaf salvia--giggle fits and body highs.  When I calmed myself down, probably a half hour later, time seemed to be dilated.  Moving took an incredible amount of time and concentration, and sentences were really hard to form.  I was feeling everything a few seconds behind reality from about 10:30 until I woke up at 6 and 7 in the morning.

My boyfriend, who smoked more than I did, and took each hit directly, didn't get nearly as high as I did.  Is this normal, even for a first-timer?

Just wondering what the community thinks about it.

Maybe you're just a lightweight?

And just to let you all know, telling her not to do pot is not helping.

That's pretty much normal the first few times a weed "virgin" smokes they get high as hell, with me it was almost like a mushroom trip type of feeling, but once you get used to it its not that spectacular.

Edit it should be noted the first time I smoked it was really good stuff not the middle ground stuff around now.

it takes time... some people have smoked so much that they dont get as high as they used too
but that's what I feel like when im high

that is very normal for a first time, you get ultra high

your boyfriend on the other hand probably has a tolerance to it

I felt this way when I smoked alot of weed in a room with no vents or fresh air.

But I did not feel this way my first time smoking.

It happened to me the first time I got high. It was random crap weed that my friend had lying around. I got completely baked from it, while everyone else who smoked it was hardly affected.

I know people like that.  

I am like that sometimes which is why I don't smoke pot.  I don't smoke pot because sometimes it will get me so high I get sick.  That is the reason I prefer painkillers to pot.

Okay that makes me feel better.
I guess I've just gotta do a bit more to build up a tolerance.  Not that it was a problem or anything, but I think I would enjoy it more if I could stay in the same pocket of time as everyone else.  :p

Completely different to me. My first time I felt almost nothing. Now, 18 months later I have really low tolerance.
I guess it just depends on the person...
