My First Time Getting High

My first time getting high on Marijuana was weird. For like a year or so, from sophomore to junior year, I would smoke everyday. But, I didn’t know how to inhale, so I was smoking it like a cigar.

I actually had a weed vaporizer called the Flowermate v5.0s. I would vape it in the bathroom of my house or in the shed.

After a year and a half of nothing happening, I genuinely believed I actually was getting high, because I made a placebo and pretended I was chill afterwards.

Then one day I vaped it in my shed. I remember making a point to inhale it into my lungs. That fucking thing hit like a truck! I remember doing this weird thing where I got high then would focus all my attention on a sound in the distance. I remember doing that had a weird effect on my cognition.

But, I got too high. I remember getting so scared and going to my bed. I remember feeling like I was dying. My heart was racing. I was staring at the blinking idle power indicator light on my monitor.

If I focused on the light, I could make the time it took to blink take longer, so I believed I had the power to slow down time, and that freaked me out.

I texted my stoner friend asking if he thinks my weed was laced, and he said no and just started laughing. He just assumed I was a lightweight and that it was my first time genuinely getting high.

So I just rhode it out. I remember seeing my grandmother touching the flowers in our front yard, which weirded me out because she never does that.

Overall, nothing too crazy of a trip in retrospect, but in the moment, I was having a panick attack.
