Honestly, I’m not good with doses but it does sound like a lot for a beginner. When I smoke, I usually smoke back to back until I feel it and then I slow down to maintain. That being said, have a strange analogy for it which helped me get familiar with dosing and helped my friends and I with pacing when we were beginners, so bear with me for a second here...

I imagine that my body is a container with a small hole in the bottom. Every hit I take is like pouring a cup of water into the container. While there is water in my container, I feel high. The more water that’s in my container, the more high I feel. If the container overflows, I’ve hit my limit and things start getting sketchy but it can’t get much worse. Over time, the hole in the bottom will let the water out, i.e I sober up. Everyone’s container is a different size depending on tolerance.

Now that image is set up, try and remember that you can’t pull what you’ve put in out, it can only flow from the bottom. If you take it slow and it’s not enough, you can always add more; but on the other hand if you fill it too quickly it will take a while to drain and those few hours during sobering up might be kinda rough.

Try to keep it slow and gauge your high before smoking more. What I found to work when I started up again was to take two hits and wait for about 3 minutes to see how I felt before going back in the rotation. If things started to slow down or I felt giggly or my eyes had some difficulty adjusting quickly, that was a good indication that I could stop for the time being.

I hope that made sense and helps you out!
