@uberbatman I thought you meant that they probably weren’t inhaling. My mistake. However, this comment by @poofandmook makes me think that I’m not the only one who’s heard that many people don’t get high their first time:
“Everyone told me I wouldn’t get high the first time.”
If you’re smoking with someone that does it often, they’re most likely going to tell you to inhale and hold it. I don’t think many people smoke alone the first time. According to marijuana.com (oy), it’s common to not get high the first time or first few times, even when inhaling properly. One person on the message board said, “we’re asked this question once a week.”
But I don’t know. I don’t smoke, never have smoked, never will smoke. Legal or illegal, it doesn’t matter to me. The stuff reeks and, after growing up in a household where everyone smoked weed, I’ve never seen the point. I can sit on the couch and scarf down a bag of Doritos while laughing at stupid shit without the use of a substance. And if I want to relax, I’ll do some yoga.
