5 things I wish i knew before my 1st smoke

 

💨 5 Things I Wish I Knew Before My First Smoke

Your first time smoking weed can be a mix of excitement and “oh no, what have I done?” Here are 5 lessons I learned the hard way, so you don’t have to.

1️⃣ Not All Weed is the Same

Sativa will get you up and chatting, Indica will glue you to the couch. Choose wisely.

2️⃣ You Don’t Need to Finish It

This isn’t a race. Take a puff, wait, and see how you feel.

3️⃣ Snacks are Non-Negotiable

The munchies are real. Prepare accordingly.

4️⃣ Music Hits Different

A good playlist can turn a chill night into a vibe-filled adventure.

5️⃣ Overthinking is Temporary

If you feel too high, it will pass. Drink water, breathe, and ride it out.

Benny Blaze’s Pro Tip: First times are about enjoying, not impressing. You don’t get extra points for turning into a couch potato.

Cannabis for beginners

🌱 Cannabis for Complete Beginners — A No-Stress Starter Guide 💨

So, you’ve decided to dip your toes (or lungs) into the world of cannabis. Relax — this isn’t a university lecture. Think of it as your green cheat sheet.

1️⃣ Know Your Types

• Sativa: Energising, daytime vibes. Think “coffee, but chill.”
• Indica: Relaxing, nighttime vibes. Think “Netflix and don’t move.”
• Hybrids: A bit of both — like a smoothie of effects.

2️⃣ Start Low, Go Slow

Your tolerance = zero right now. Start with a small puff or a microdose edible. Trust me — you can always take more, but you can’t un-smoke a joint.

3️⃣ Choose Your Method

• Smoking: Classic, easy to find.
• Vaping: Less smell, smoother inhale.
• Edibles: Long-lasting, but slow to kick in (1–2 hours). Patience, my friend.

4️⃣ Stay Safe & Legal

In South Africa, you can grow and use cannabis privately — but selling or using in public? Nope. Keep it at home, keep it cool.

5️⃣ Have a Plan

Got snacks? Water? A comfy couch? You’re ready. Bonus points for a playlist.
