Don't see what all the fuss is about...

Always wanted to try some weed, my sis always brings some home and leaves it in stupidly obvious places but thats another story

she rang me up to find some that she lost in our front room, after I'd found it I asked if I could have some, she made a rollup with it and let me have a couple of puffs but I didn't feel anything. Yeah got a bit hungry but that was it. Although It did help with my gaming . My sis says it was skunk and it was "good shit" but I thought It would be more than that.

How much do you normally need before you feel anything.

A lot of people don't feel it their first time, or even first couple of times. You did inhale it properly? Anyway, if you are curious then go on some smoking sessions with your sister and you'll get a buzz that way.

smoke more

I would, but its long gone.
I don't think she was entirely truthful about it being skunk though because I've heard lots of stories about skunk.

I definitely think some people hear weed hyped up so much for so long that they think it's going to knock them for six if they have two puffs, and they think it's really something its not. A lot of people I know who tried weed later on than the "norm" for our group seemed to have the impression that you have a toke and go nuts or immediately into "zoned out stoner from central casting" mode. It's just not always [or even often, I've found] like that, obviously depending on the strength and type you get -- and especially when you first start smoking it as scrotey said.

I get the best effects if I smoke little - or lots - and often, unlike with other drugs. Even then it's not some crazy high. It's just, er... nice

might give it another go if the opportunity rises but Im gonna lower my expectations of side effects. I was expecting a real trip after a couple of puffs. I did get really relaxed though which was a plus.

Weed can be a seriously strong drug. Don't underestimate it.
If you smoke it using a method - bong, pipe, lung, bucket, waterfall - prepare to be very stoned on a small amount.

I suppose that it's different for everyone. If I smoke a fag, which is a very very very rare thing, then it's like I'm hammered BUT on the odd occasion, I've tried a joint, it just made me sleepy.

If you don't see what all the fuss is about it means you havn't smoked enough.
There could be 3 reasons for this:
1. You simply havn't smoked enough material
2. You're not inhaling properly
3. It's bunk weed.

If your smoking it right, with good weed, it doesn't take much to feel quite stoned.

Most people I know felt nothing their first time. It usually takes a time or two before you get it right and actually feel the effects. However, as some have said, weed can be curiously strong, and it'll knock you off ur feet when you least expect it to. And those are good times...

Personally I think its a drug which doesnt get enough respect, it can be very powerful indeed and quite unpleasant if you take too much. Plus of course there can be a whole host of side effects if you smoke large amounts regularly.

As for the novice, dont rush it, you said you felt good, relaxed and were able to get more into your computer game - that sounds fine, where's the problem?

When you inhale it, breath it right in and hold for a second or two. You will feel it affect you if its proper stuff.
