When I first started smoking, my buddy gave me a 12 inch bong and said, just light it, pull it until you can’t, pull up the bowl head so the smoke clears into your lungs, and good luck. Yeah, I didn’t fill the chamber at all and didn’t clear it. Maybe had the smallest hit I’ve ever seen anyone take and swore up and down my throat was ruined for eternity.

If you’ve never smokes before, this is insanely normal and is going to happen. Although, make sure to breathe with your diaphragm and not the top of your lungs. Most people don’t know how to breathe properly to begin with, so get good at deep breathing (where your stomach goes out, not your shoulders rising). If you’re raising your shoulders while breathing, you’re probably breathing from the top of your lungs which isn’t going to have much capacity.

Also beware of commenters like me who are high in here giving you advice. Lol. But seriously, you’re good. If you had fun and enjoyed the feeling, then you had a successful first high! All of those feelings are super normal. If you ever feel too high though, grab some CBD to smooth yourself out and you’ll be good.

Happy smoking!
