I'm someone who likes to be in control. The highs or psychedelic affects that I�ve experienced are from prescription drugs which I have not ever abused. I've hallucinated on Ambien when I was taking it for insomnia. The two times that I tried it, I had pretty scary hallucinations which resulted in my vomiting the pill. I tingle when I take my hydrocodone cough syrup. I hardly drink alcohol, but that�s because my shoulders tense in pain.
I�ve always stayed away from drugs because in high school, everyone around me was doing it and getting drunk, and got in trouble, not by their parents but because something went wrong and I was the one to cover for them. Someone had to be the responsible one, and for some reason, it was going to be me. My boyfriend, who I�ve known since middle school, and I had a falling out when we were 14 because of expectations of me to do certain things that I just wasn�t ready for. That�s also another reason I chose not to smoke pot. I felt like he chose that instead of me, but hey, we were 14, what did I know. After five years of absence from each other�s lives, I lived my straight edge life, he lived his pot and alcohol life, he straightened up. We�re together again because he gave it up to be with me. Sweet, I know.
Anyway, we�ve been together for about a year now. He talks about pot and how he doesn�t miss it, but he still advocates it use. I�m a person who likes to be clear minded so I can be alert and ready to deal with anything. I guess you could say I�m spiritual but by no means religious. I believe that you don�t need a social enhancer to have a good time. I�m overall a happy person and feel that your mind, when clear, can overcome stress and anxiety and that you don�t need something to take it away for you. Basically, face your problems, don�t run from it type of deal. So he always tells me that I will always have a biased opinion of it unless I tried it, but he wasn�t going to pressure me.
I decided that I was going to try it at least once. No pressure, plenty of time with no obligations to be fulfilled. I�ve never smoked or inhaled anything but air in my life. Under the supervision and guidance of my more experienced boyfriend, I took 2 hits off a pipe, waited 5-10 minutes. And nothing. I felt absolutely nothing. The smell of pot grosses me out. It smells like I left my clothes in the washer for too many days and it�s all mildew. Inhaling smoke was even grosser, I couldn�t get the taste out of my mouth. I was drinking water, lemonade, chewing Altoids, anything to get the taste out of my mouth and throat. Maybe I didn�t inhale enough because I�m 5�2� and have tiny lungs that can�t hold anything, which is why I have low blood pressure and the heart rate of a person that fainted. So then he shot gunned it to me with his gigantic lungs filled with smoke. Five-10 minutes later, nothing. He was high, and I wasn�t. I was getting frustrated. We were watching Food Network, and I wasn�t getting the �munchies�. I took another hit, this time, he said that was a good inhale. Nothing. I�d just about given up. I wasn�t high. I was full of energy. He said I didn�t have to do it anymore if I didn�t want to. And I really didn�t. Smoking is just not for me. But I allowed him to shotgun me one more time and I held it in a little longer like he told me to. It burned! And I was coughing up my lungs. And all he could say was, �Yeah�� that happens sometimes.�
And that�s when I started to babble and feel it. My mind suddenly spewed an intricate story about some dude on Food Network�s life. Then my body went numb. Then I felt my cognitive and motor functions slow. My body moved, but it took my brain a good 3-5 seconds to register the movement. At this point, I knew this was something I did not like.
