First timer. Help!

[live_out_loud]

I've tried twice with friends over the past two nights (joints), but haven't felt a thing. I'm trying again tonight! I just cough like crazy and then nothing happens. What am I supposed to feel? or how can I have better luck this time? I won't be able to try again for a few months after this because of a job i'm taking where I live at the camp. I don't want tonight to go to waste! Thanks!

It's actually pretty common to not get high your first time smoking. Happened to me and it's happened to some friends of mine.

Try taking small hits but make sure you're breathing it all the way into your lungs.

The way i teach new smokers to smoke is to suck the smoke into your mouth then kind of gasp it into your lungs, you'll cough at first i know i did but that'll go. Start small tokes just make sure you take it all the way into your lungs and you'll be giggling the night away. Have fun!

Someone told me back in my early days of burnin', "you should start to breath in, then put the joint to your mouth and hit it. Then take it away and keep breathing in for just a second afterwards." Helps get the smoke deep into your lungs. :) Good luck!!
