I've smoked weed like five times but never actually gotten high.?

Question 1
I've smoked weed like five times but never actually gotten high.?...  I smoked a lot, too. Like an entire joint. And my friends got really high from the same weed.

I was wondering, has anyone else had this kind of thing happen to them?

Answers
1)   No, but my friend said he was that way. First time I smoked, meh. Second time, I wasn't sure who I was or what day of the week it was anymore...and I didn't care. - Alex

2)   That exact same happened to me for a year and then BAM it hit me. Don't keep smoking it, your body/brain probably is something like mine. Trust me if you continue you will have bad side effects. - Miss M

3)   happen to me too. only on joints though if you have a pipe that will hit you. - Ever

4)   It takes a few times for your body to get used to the chemical THC. It took 3-4 different times for me to finally get high. The first time I got high I smoked a TON of weed out of an apple bong. SOOO high lol - ozzy osbourne

5)   Are you inhaling ? - xjoizey

6)   Yeah you might need to actually INHALE. like, once you suck it into your mouth, you have to suck it into your lungs after that. also, maybe smoke out of a huge bong you'll be high as sh**T. - nickname

7)   You could have a natural tolerance, but also be sure that you're inhaling completely. Joints can be strange sometimes, try smoking from a pipe or a bong. It'll hit you eventually, I didn't get high the first few times I smoked. - Bri Smith

Question 2
How come some people want to be stoned/high on weed ALL DAY LONG?...  There's this guy who we're sort of becoming friends. He literally smokes weed ALL DAY LONG. like, he needs to be high constantly. THey say weed isn't addictive, really????? I don't think I agree with that data b/c he's the first stoner I've been closely connected with/hanging out with. I just don't get it. Why does he need to be high all the time 24/7. The other thing is, too, he's starting to do ecstasy at least once a week (he's been doing that for the last few months), sometimes 5 pills at once, he's starting to take Xanax more (has no prescription for it), starting to do a lot of mushrooms, and I'm not sure what else. He isn't using coke....*yet*. I'm really worried about him.

THe thing I don't get is he seems like such a fun-loving outgoing guy, is pretty popular with everyone, and I just don't get the constant drug usage.

I smoked out with him and his friends a couple times and I didn't like the feeling of being high. I felt like a mental patient in an insane asylum or I felt like an animal who was trapped in a cage and couldn't communicate.
I forgot to add he drinks at least once a day, too (usually 2-3 beers at a time)....

Answers
1)   Generally, people use drugs to cope to some degree, or escape. Weed is addictive for some people, but not everyone, which is why some people say it absolutely is not--but, I've seen a few hooked on smoking all day long, too. - Grace

2)   Some people want to be high and stoned all the time because it makes their problems and issues easier to face. Being high and stoned all day can let you not care about anything. Marijuana isn't usually addictive but i think ive read that 10% of users have a potential of getting addicted to it. Also about your bad reaction to weed: weed isn't for everyone. Different people will react differently to it. - Kono Randori

3)   It isnt physically addictive only psychologically, basically anything can become psychologically addicting. - Rick James

4)   In my opinion and experience, people get addicted to the feeling. They chase the feeling of getting high because they like it better than living life sober. I don't think I've met anyone that I would classify as (I am not a medical professional, only my opinion) being physically addicted. It's not that they want to be high all the time. Their true motivating factor seems to be the desire to avoid sobriety. - Kevin Moore

5)   bottom line your friend has a problem every thing can hold a person its up to that person to control there vice if he cant its a problem if your not cool with it remove yourself from it i smoke drink and do other things but when my job said random drug test i quit in 1 day its all up to the person but if your strong enough nothing is that hard to stop you cant change people you can only tell them what could happen and you could be 100% right but they wont change till they want to sorry but it is true i got 2 bros and we all grew up together and we all got are own shit we do and deal with - Jacob

6)   because getting high is AMAZING!!!! and it isn't addictive . think about it like this some people love to read books (not me) there not addicted they just want to do it all the time - mm hh

Question 3
What will one joint do?...  Ok, one of my friends I haven't seen for some time got some weed for my friends birthday and I'm supposed to smoke it with them next week. I want this to be my first and last time to smoke anything. Will I look retarded and have a coughing fit? Are there any long term effects to one joint?

Answers
1)   just don't take huge hits. Keep it on the smaller side and you shouldn't cough too much and there's no long term effect to weed. It actually can be good for you - Austin Weezy

2)   If its your first time you wont even get high - ozzy osbourne

3)   There are long term-effects from smoking weed daily, one joint is fine though. Smoking daily is something that depends on the person, you have to weigh the pro's and con's to make a good decision. - bob

4)   watch the union an you will probebly realize its good an start smoking every day. but ur probebly not even gunna get high

Question 4
Should I stop smoking weed.?...  let me re-phrase the last question I've smoke for 3 years now on weed. I have fun doing it. Im certain imma quit when I'm in 11th grade. should I stop now.

Answers
1)   Yeah just do it. It's not a good thing. The only people who like pot heads are other pot heads. - Miss M

2)   It sounds like you started awfully early, but the decision is up to you. There are benefits and disadvantages to weed. If it's negatively affecting you, quit. If not, well then thats up to you. - ozzy osbourne

3)   Nah i always say ima quit and i smoke later that same day, i quit last friday , saturday, sunday and today and ended up smoking everyday haha .
If you wanna quit though sure why not.. - Rick James

4)   dude there's nothing wrong with weed itself but if you feel that your overly attached to it i suggest you stop for a week or two just to prove that you can stop when ever you want to. and if you don't feel attached then why stop its fun and in many ways good for you - mm hh

Question 5
Does the counting sheep at night work?...  I can't sleep, what are some good methods which arent sleeping pills?

Answers
1)   Do something relaxing and get on a sleep schedule. Don't look at bright lights the last hour before you go to sleep. You need to develop good sleep hygiene. There are many things you can try. Check out this link for some sleep hygiene tips.
http://www.health.com/health/condition-article/0,,20189080,00.html - Grace

2)   i have tried counting sheep and it didn't work for me. one thing you can do is focus on your breathing. take a deep inhale for 4 seconds and then exhale for 4 seconds. alternate between that and relaxing each muscle one at a time. flexing each one lightly, then relaxing it. make sure there is no light in your room at all and make sure it is cool. have a fan blowing for some white noise or you could play some sleep sounds like rain or ocean from youtube on your computer. try sleeping in different positions and perhaps naked. having no light in your room and having it cool is the main thing. you can try ear plugs. dont eat sugary things or things with caffiene close to bedtime. like cokes or tea or candy - Mr J

3)   I shower at night. one step. then am sure to keep myself busy with a few chores close to bedtime, you have to give your body more to do in a day to make it more wore out. Or try a excerise routineat night. Thats what I do, and try and give myself 2 hours downtime but not too late; t.v., until im feeling finaly sleepy, and i just pass out on the couch if i have to. - tosha

4)   counting sheep or doing any kind of visualization never helped me sleep, because it always kept my mind busy and active, which is not good if you are trying to get some sleep. if you do not like the idea of taking synthetic sleeping pills, then you can take natural ones, such as valerian or a melatonin supplement. you can also try eating foods which are rich in tryptophan (a natural sleep aid). also, you can exercise earlier in the day. - Anthony Oliver
