Is it normal to not get high at all the first time you smoke weed?

I smoked weed for the first time a few months ago and I didn't even get high at all. My eyes were completely white and I felt the same as I always do. My friend said that it happens to a lot of people. Is this true? And does anybody know the reason why?

    ^ wow mellowdramatic. Anywhoooo you probably didn't inhale, it takes a couple times to learn how. You'll definity know when you're high lol. Next time instead on sucking just breathe it in. Happy toking :)

  • Ya, most newbies don't know how to inhale properly.
    You've got to hold it in for at least five seconds, otherwise you're just wasting good smoke.
    Don't smoke more than a few tokes though because you don't want to overdo it.

    Don't worry, you won't get addicted.
    It's not a gateway drug.
    People who write stuff like that are uninformed freaks.

      I wouldn't agree in saying that it's not a gateway drug. If you have a curious and addicting personality, smoking weed is what opens up the mind to other kinds of drugs. Before I smoked weed I was anti drug... but after I smoked weed I was curious about what other ways there were to expand my mind. I can honestly say that pretty much everybody I know that do hard drugs probably wouldn't have done them if they had never smoked weed.

      • Dude, it was your "curious" personality that was the Gateway, not the weed. You shouldn't confuse the two.

          Maybe to some extent but you can't deny the fact that once you break a barrier.. it becomes a lot easier and more likely that you will break the next barrier.

          • Maybe for some people, but not for all-it's a bad generalization to make.

      There's no such thing as a weed dependency, Gold is full of crap. lol But yea, most people I know didn't get high their first time. I didn't.

    whether you smoke weed or do something else, you will be curious at what other drugs do to you. you cant blame something else for your own behaviour. if you have an addictive personality then you should take more responsibility for your own actions and not put yourself in a situation where you would be addicted to something. i smoke weed, havent for a while though... taking a break. but just because i have tried weed, that doesnt mean i want to shoot up coke or anything. i agree that its your own curious nature to try other things and not the drug itself.

    I didn't get high until like the 3rd or 4th time. It took me a little while to get used to taking hits. If you want to get REALLY high without having to worry about taking rips, I'd suggest trying some food with weed cooked into it.

    It has nothing to do with inhaling properly. I took a bunch of big ass tokes my first time and didn't get the slightest bit high until the second or third bowl. I don't know why it happens but it seems to be pretty normal.
