Friend's first time drinking and smoking (What should we do?)

[Askari0]

So a friend of mine has finally decided to step down from his straight edge lifestyle and drink and smoke weed socially. I told him that I would gladly help him get rid of his weed and booze virginity, but I've yet to figure out what we should do whilst doing so. I figured we would probably smoke one day and then drink the next just so he can experience both on their own.

Any suggestions as to what we should do after we smoke and after we drink the next night? I'm still fairly new to both of them so I'm not 100% sure what would be fun.

If youre a chick, fuck.

[Askari0]

We both have penises and neither of us are aroused by penises unfortunately.

You know you are socially awkward you are if you decide to smoke and drink, and have no idea what the fuck to do while/after.

[Titanss]

How old are you OP?

[Seanr]

Punch it to 60, turn off the lights, let go of the steering wheel! That shit will bug you out boy!

[Heavencloud]

Was thinking this. Should be a compliment to your social activity if it's something you're going to be doing... socially.

[Cadsuane]

Do you need a piss-taking instruction manual for whenever you go to the washroom too? Go to a fucking bar or do whatever it is you do in your spare time to have fun.

[Seraphise]

slip him acid and convince him its the weed and to quit his bitchin

[bechyni]

After you finish, do some acid. After that try random prescription drugs until Darwinism takes effect.

1. Many people don't get high the first time they try it. Don't be too disappointed if you don't.

2. It takes 10 - 15 minutes for a toke to reach its peak effect. If you smoke a lot within that window, you can easily get a lot higher than you want to be. Having a negative experience the first time you smoke can sour your attitude for later sessions. I recommend to newbees that they take a hit and wait 10 minutes before taking another. Repeat as desired. That way, you can avoid getting into any spaces where you feel out of control.

3. Many times, "friends" will try to push you into smoking more than you're ready for. Experience smokers have developed a tolerance to marijuana and don't get the intense effects beginners do. (and they're jealous!) Don't allow peer pressure to get you to do things against your own self-interest. Smoking marijuana is not a competitive sport. At least, it shouldn't be. Don't expect to be able to "keep up" with experienced smokers.

definately don't swallow smoke. just inhale. make sure that shit gets into your lungs.

Don't run head long into smoking your first time. Thought there is a chance you won't get high, don't take that as indication that you need to smoke more. There's no shame in saying "I'm not blazed". On the flip side, there's nothing wrong with getting caught up in the moment and just having a good time, even if you don't mean to "fake it". Smoking to much and having a bad experience won't do you much good either, so if your not blazed after a couple hits, chill out and wait till next time.

Take a hit or two. You'll cough, and cough. Then you'll cough. Then, I'd say there's a good chance that you'll cough. Then get comfortable and chill out. One thing that is certain about everyone's first time is it was NOT what they expected. Don't take this as a bad thing, it's just not the stereotypical "lay there and smile" (yet at the same time, it is). You don't see swirling colors, or anything like that, but your thoughts work differently. Pay attention to your train of thought, and notice the difference. If it is noticeable, your probably stoned! Its indescribable, but it sounds like you'll soon know what its all about, so have fun!

Rule #1, as always, relax.

Keep those things in mind, and stay at home. Do you have video game systems? Funny movies you and your friend would both enjoy watching? Do those things, then. I disagree with the notion of getting someone high for the first time, then taking them out; it's always better to be in a secure, familiar, comfortable environment.

After they're used to it (say, after smoking with you three or four times), you can venture into the outside world.

EDIT: I would personally suggest sticking closer to the marijuana and staying further away from the alcohol, as the former will not irreparably damage their body if they use it frequently, unlike the latter. The dangerousness of alcohol needn't be elaborated upon; as you theorized, combining the two for a first timer wouldn't be a good idea either, as they won't be able to experience the related feelings separately of one another. Nonetheless, I personally prefer hard liquor in shot form with chasers on my rare imbibing occasions. Less useless carbonated liquid than beer, and more opportunity to drink something that actually isn't bad for you (e.g., pure juice). I often speak of Sailor Jerry, as in my opinion, it's the best inexpensive hard liquor you can purchase. Pairing it with cola (I suggest caffeine free cola, but do as you will), a pure, rich juice (e.g., cherry apple juice made from frozen concentrate, which you can get at any supermarket), and other such things will work well.

Oh, yes, and be sure to encourage them to do two things: 1. Hold in the weed smoke for three to five seconds, and 2. don't take over-sized hits. No one will appreciate your poor friend if they learn how to take a hit improperly and consequently burn through someone else's stash, all while not knowing they're doing anything wrong.

implications that smoking isn't bad for ones health?

[Alvein]

Honestly what should you do? Do something else that isn't bad for you.
Drinking and smoking are money draining activities that are easily avoidable.

Everything in this video

Oh, yes, and be sure to encourage them to do two things: 1. Hold in the weed smoke for as long as they comfortably can

Don't confuse a head rush from lack of oxygen with being high.

I am entirely too uninterested to bother linking the numerous other, comprehensive discussions that have been had on this subject, but no, smoking marijuana is extremely unlikely to cause one harm. The greater amount of tar is rendered irrelevant by how it reacts while within the body (in comparison to cigarettes), one's very DNA isn't damaged by the carcinogens (as it is with processed tobacco), no damage is caused to the brain, and so on.

It is not my responsibility to educate you, but implying that smoking marijuana is notably harmful is ignorant at best.

Don't confuse a head rush from lack of oxygen with being high.

This is a good point, and I should stand corrected on my aforementioned, vague statement. Someone only needs to hold in their hit for, I'd say, five seconds at most to have the best effect. Any longer, and you're only creating unnecessary stress.

[Mazmaz]

I like how you said discussions instead of studies.

Smoking any substance is not good for your lungs regardless of the lack of ammonia/rat jerky that can be found in other smokeables like cigarettes. Smoking will damage your lungs, which is not good for your overall health and inhibits your ability to be as physically capable/active as you could be. Smoking destroys the cilia in your body, this makes it INFINITELY harder for you to recover from sicknesses that would affect a normal person healthy for a week or so, for example pneumonia/flu etc any respiratory illness really because you have literally destroyed your bodies natural way of fighting off these illnesses. So instead of the cilia hanging out in your esophogous with their mucus coating catching stuff in them and keeping them there until you cough them out that shit is just constantly flowing into your body with nothing to hinder it, which is why pneumonia and the flu pretty much wreck most stoners for a month+. HOWEVER if a person was using a vaporizer to get high then this is all moot for the most part. But uhhh yea smoking weed is bad for you and you have to be a complete fucking moron along the same vein as the people that say "it comes from the ground bro its natural and safe" if you believe otherwise. Or you could just drink some hemlock tea and see how safe the world of natural plants are.
