Do you remember the first time you ever smoked a joint?

1. Yeah, a buck J from a friend of mine.

Back when people sold those. It didn’t do anything to me the first time.

The second time however, I was totally baked, laughed my ass off and generally enjoyed the hell out of it. Then went into a bakery, bought a generic birthday cake and proceeded to eat most of it by hand, just tore it apart and stuffed myself while laughing and singing happy birthday to anyone who walked by. Looking back, I was being very obvious. But I was 13, you do stupid shit when you’re a kid.

Good times.

3. First time...nothing.

Two years later I was in LA and that's the time I really remember it.

4. 1st time h.s. sophomore no affects whatsoever

Duuuuuuuude!!

5. I tried, but it was the tiniest joint ever

Couldn't grasp it with my big mouth. So I made a pipe out of beer can. Then I got stoned and lost in the woods. Great times!

6. My first time-ever using cannabis, it was with a bong. I fell asleep.

Second time, I got really, really high. Joints don't really do it for me. I get a little light-headed for about half an hour and that's it. It's not worth the irritation to my lungs. I've tried edibles and tinctures. They take forever to have an effect, but when they do, it's like a hit over the head. I find myself barely able to move...

7. No.

Because I never have. Too chicken to do it while it's illegal. The new Dem governor of Illinois wants to legalize recreational marijuana. I would have to try an edible version. I've never smoked anything, and the very idea makes me shudder.

I do like smoked salmon -

9. The trick with smoking a joint is keeping the thing lit.

But if you can smoke a salmon, a joint should be easy.

13. We use a one hitter pipe......

ooooooops, gave it away, still use it.

[JuJuYoshida]

8. yeah, in a friend's garage and the pipe was so cute

someone hand carved the actual pipe to say "Rasta" lol

10. I do. Barry and me were 17 and worked at Six Flags

after work one night he said "Hey, wanna blow a doob?" I said "what the fuck does that mean?" and he said "A joint man..let's get high". I was still newly liberated from a fascist regime and ready to try all the shit I knew I wasn't supposed to so I enthusiastically jumped in. Spent about the next 5 years high erry day.

I haven't smoked since then but I vote for legalization every time I can and some day when I no longer care how my blood test shows up I'll start again. I miss Barry and smoking weed. Unlike Poodgie from the other thread, I do know Barry still even though we live across the country from each other. We keep in touch.

I still occasionally talk to his mom and sister too but it wasn't like Poodgie's mom. They were just kind to a basically homeless hippie kid their son/brother brought home from work.

12. Yep. The summer of my 18th year.

I didn't like it.

[Cold War Spook]

14. First joint was hashish.

Smoked it at a classified NSA/army base in the Middle East. Back in the 60s it cost $2 for a brick the size of 10 playing cards.

15. Fall of 1966, I was 13 in 8th grade and

new to a boarding school in Marin county.

First joint was that October at the base of the cross in Boyd Park behind Mission San Jose in San Rafael, CA.

[skypilot]

16. Yeah. I was 14.

I could have sworn that I didn't feel any different but I couldn't stop laughing to save my life. I called up a friend to tell him that I had just smoked my first joint but I couldn't complete a sentence because I was laughing so hard. I think I ended up laughing myself to sleep.
