5 Safety Tips for First-time Weed Smokers

One of the first things those first-time smokers are faced with is choosing the smoking that is best for them. You have 4 choices for the most part – blunts, bongs, joints, and one-hitters. Although this is a relatively important decision to make when smoking weed for the first time, safety is a greater concern and must not be taken lightly.

The following is a list of 5 safety tips that all first-time smokers need to be aware of:

Be sure to purchase your product from someone you trust – remember your parents telling you as a child to never take candy from strangers? The same applies to buying weed. Although buying it from some guy in the neighborhood park sounds like a cheaper and simpler option, it’s not the smartest of choices for a source as you can’t guarantee that it’s high-quality untainted cannabis.

Choose a strain that is first-time smoker-friendly – smoking weed as a first-timer is kind of like learning how to ride a bicycle. It’s always best to use training wheels at first and then graduate to riding without them. But, in this case, the training wheels are low-THC strains of weed. Once you’ve gained some experience and you know how you’ll react when under the influence, move up to a strain that’s a little more potent.

Remember, it’s safety first when you’re just starting out – always ensure that you’re in a safe environment when smoking, whether it’s your first time or your hundredth. Always keep these 3 rules in mind:

  • Don’t drive a vehicle or operate heavy machinery.
  • Don’t smoke in a location that you’re not completely familiar with.
  • NEVER smoke cannabis with anyone you don’t know or trust.

Schedule an off-day for your first time – one of the best ways to enjoy your first smoking experience is to schedule an off-day so you don’t have to be concerned with your daily responsibilities and tasks. You might even want to try a wake and bake. The high will feel higher and it will put a positive spin on your day.

Most importantly, don’t overdo it – smoking weed the first few times is like jumping into a swimming pool when you’re learning how to swim. You don’t jump into the deep end. Space things out, take one puff and see how it affects you before taking the next. If you don’t feel anything after the first 15 or 20 minutes, take another hit.
