What do I need to know before trying marijuana for the first time?
user
Hi there, you’re asking about marijuana. A major concern is that the first time someone smokes marijuana, they can experience panic or anxiety, often intense. Many people feel really disoriented and detached, which can be scary. These are only mild effects, and should wear off after the first few minutes. And many people do enjoy the experience after they’ve adjusted to the drug, especially the feeling of calm that can come. I’ve seen people describe it as kind of like floating or flying, but it’s a different experience than psychedelic drugs. I’m not trying to tell you whether to try it or not, or what to do. I just want to be a trusted voice here, to inform you of the known effects of this drug. Would you like to know more about this drug?
