Hey everyone,
So I took the plunge & finally smoked pot for my first time ever in 42 years ! I would like to tell you what I experienced, so let's jump right into it ok. ( If you're in a rush I've summarised it for you further down in bullet points ).
Exhibit A
These are the three joints I smoked over the course of 24 hours. I smoked about half of each joint as I was smoking with my girlfriend. It's Sativa Indoor if I'm not mistaken. It was referred to as, "The Good Weed".
Me lighting up
The joint I must say lights up the same as a cigarette. However, I must add, it tastes horrible! Maybe because I'm obviously not used to the taste. But to me it tasted like grass. Dry grass. ( lol you n00b )
After I smoked one joint I told my girlfriend about 20 minutes later, "Babe, I don't feel anything". She replied, "Just relax. Don't focus on what must happen". Then, all of a sudden.....
Yo whatsup bro, like, yo bro... whatsup maaaaaaaaan
It just hit me all of a sudden. I felt slightly dizzy, similar to the feeling of being tipsy from alchohol. I wasn't giggly & I was fully aware of my environment. My hands did have a tingling sensation, I must say. Similar to pins & needles, but not in a bad way.
Oh wait, wait, I took a video also....
The video of me smoking
Here's the thing that really worried me while high... My short term memory, was GONE! I'm not even kidding. I would like be chatting to my girlfriend, and when she replied to me, I was like, "What were we talking about again?". It scared me a bit. To mentally forget the last 4 or 5 seconds every 10 or 15 seconds is to me, a scary experience.
But I didn't panic, I just went with it. I didn't like the fact that I couldn't stop this feeling, so I did feel out of control. But didn't panic. Strangely enough I didn't feel a calming feeling come over me. You know how people say it relaxes you? It didn't do that to me.
I wasn't anxious or stressing, basically just myself. But look at my eyes! Oh my gosh. lol. Not good. When I smoked the other joint the next day, my short term memory was fine. So maybe it was just that first time. (shrug)
We had to drive to fetch someone, & I'll tell you, I'll never drive again while high. It was like roads carried on forever (lol), backing out of my parking space at my apartment was a mission, and I got lost frequently. I would be driving and then literally wouldn't know where I was. If it wasn't for my girlfriend then I most probably would've taken 3 days to get home. lol
What I experienced in a nutshell
- Dizzy feeling
- Tingling sensation in my hands
- Loss of short term memory ( only the first time though )
- Loss of depth perception
- Could hold a conversation & was fully aware of my surroundings
- Libido was increased in a weird way. Weird as in not drunk horny for lack of a better word, but just "on heat". lol
- Emotions were amplified
The last point meaning that emotions & feelings that were already present in me, would be vocalised to the person I love, like my girlfriend. For instance, if I was feeling ready to get engaged but didn't have the courage to tell her, pot made it easier for me to tell her, and when told, I felt such love towards that person.
Now that you've experienced it, would you smoke on a regular basis?
The short answer is No.
It's not for me. Maybe I should smoke more to experience other effects, but to me, as an individual, I wouldn't explore this option again. I'm glad I did it, it has taught me a lot and more importantly help me understand certain things about pot smoking.
People who smoke I have nothing against. I'll interact with them, socialise with them etc. But for me it doesn't float my boat. I think it has to do with the fact that I like to be in control of a situation, and pot takes that away from me when high.
So there you have it guys, me smoking weed. hahahaha
Feel free to post a comment if you'd like to know something specific when I smoked.
Thank you for reading !
