Of course, we all know that smoking weed will do the job, but you might be asking yourself: what’s the best way to get high? What should I know as a beginner?
In this article, we’ll answer all your questions about getting high. This guide will help you understand more about cannabis and how you achieve the perfect high.
Tips For Beginners
1. Create A Safe Environment
Being in a safe and comfortable environment the first time you get high is essential. There’s nothing worse than being uncomfortably high in a place that’s far from home and with strangers who wouldn’t help you if you needed it.
Your high will be much more relaxing if you are in a chilled environment with people you trust, who will help you if you start to feel too high.
2. Stay Hydrated
Smoking bud dries out your mouth. This is often referred to as “cotton mouth” and it’s not the most pleasant sensation.
This is why you should have water on hand when smoking so that you can reduce dry mouth and keep yourself hydrated.
Drinking water while you smoke is also beneficial because it can relieve any headaches you might experience and help relieve a sore throat and any cough you might have from smoking for the first time (see also “How To Cure Sore Throat From Vaping“).
3. Bring Snacks
A well-known side effect of weed is “the munchies”. Most people feel hungry when smoking weed, especially first-timers, so it’s a good idea to keep plenty of snacks nearby to sate your appetite (see also “Can A Dentist Tell If You Smoke Weed?“).
Having your favorite snacks on hand is also wise because you’ll be less tempted to run to your local store. This might be fine for seasoned smokers, but as it’s your first time, you should stay in your controlled environment.
4. Start With The Basics
You should start small so you can learn what your limit is when it comes to weed. There are plenty of ways to get high, but for your first time, consider starting with a joint or a small bowl.
We definitely don’t recommend using a bong or dabs until you know your limit and you’re used to the sensation of being high. These methods result in a very intense high and likely won’t be enjoyable at all for a beginner (see also “How To Boost Your High“).
5. Inhale Deeply
A quick puff won’t have much effect. You need to inhale deeply to get the most out of your bud, making sure the smoke hits deep in your lungs. This will maximize the effect and leave you with a decent high.
6. Take Your Time
You need to be careful not to over-indulge when you smoke for the first time. Take your time and smoke slowly so you can see how intense the effect is.
Everyone has different tolerance levels, so don’t worry if you start to feel high sooner than anyone else.
Try to keep track of how many hits it takes you to get high. This will give you a good indication of your limit. Once you find it, you’ll be able to smoke safely and responsibly.
What’s The Best Way To Get High?
Once you’ve been high a few times, you can start looking into the other ways there are to smoke weed. Here are some of the best ways that are sure to get you high almost immediately.
1. Dabs
Dabs are one of the most effective ways to get high quickly. They are concentrates, meaning that they are almost pure THC that is vaporized rather than burned.
Dabs usually have a stronger taste than other weed-smoking methods, and due to how pure it is, they can produce a pretty strong high that happens quickly.
2. Hash
Hash is undoubtedly the tried-and-true, traditional way to get high (see also “How To Smoke Bubble Hash“). You can give your body a significant amount of THC by smoking this potent cannabis product, which will produce a powerful and fast-acting high.
3. Bowl
Another excellent way to get high is to smoke a bowl. Additionally, it’s one of the easiest ways to smoke pot.
Because you’re inhaling unfiltered marijuana smoke and have complete control over how much you smoke at once, smoking a bowl can also be one of the quickest ways to become high.
This smoke will be considerably harsher and hotter compared to bongs and vaporizers, but after you get used to it, you can experience some really good highs.
4. Bong
One of the best ways to get high is to smoke a bong. That’s mostly because bongs enable you to take extra-large hits, and the more THC-rich smoke you can get into your lungs and bloodstream, the faster your high will start to take effect.
Bongs allow you to take such big rips because of the water filtration system. When using a bong, the heated cannabis smoke is drawn first through the water. This helps cool the smoke while drawing out a lot of harmful toxins.
You can take bigger hits and hold them in your lungs more easily because the smoke is considerably cleaner, colder, and smoother by the time it reaches your lungs.
5. Steamroller
A certain kind of cannabis pipe called a steamroller is made to deliver the most powerful hits possible. They are available in different sizes too, so you can choose your steamroller to fit a lung capacity.
The whole point is to fully fill your lungs with smoke at one time. Unsurprisingly, this usually results in a few fast-acting highs.
Final Thoughts
Getting high is easy, but it’s important to take the right precautions if it’s your first time.
