I'M CONSIDERING SMOKING POT FOR THE FIRST TIME
Greetings Steemit,
Yes, you read correctly. I am considering smoking MJ ( Let's just refer to it as such from now on ) for the first time in 42 years.
Why 42 years? Well, I have never smoked MJ in my entire life, and 42 is well, I'm sure you can figure out the significance of that number.
I have a very strong stance with regards to being anti-drug use. Yes yes I know, it's not a drug it's a herb. But just bear with me here ok. Due to my ignorance I have very bad thoughts or better yet, perceptions, with regards to MJ.
For some reason I think that if you smoke it you become so trippy and drugged up that you don't even know your own name. I dislike anything that alters a person's state of conciousness.
For the record I have read numerous articles on MJ, the effects, the up's, the down's etc. I have interacted with individuals that have smoked MJ, & to be honest they seemed fine. Yes, they had bloodshot eyes, or their speech might have been very slightly "delayed", if I may use that term.
But never once have I seen someone so "out of it" that they couldn't stand on their own two feet. Which is a good thing I guess. I don't have anything against people who smoke MJ. It's their life & who am I to tell someone what to do. I have even been to parties where people smoke right beside me, & I have had good conversations with them.
SO WHAT KIND OF MJ DO I INTEND SMOKING?
Well, I know the difference between Indica & Sativa. I guess I'll try Sativa first & see how it goes. I'm still a bit in the dark about the difference between Outdoor & Indoor ( Feel free to explain it to me in the Comments if you wish ).
Look, I'm not going to get trippy high by smoking an entire joint. Yes, it'll be a joint. None of that bong stuff for my first time. I'll take a toke ( is that the proper term? :) ) or two and see how it affects me. To be honest I'm terrified I'll trip out and start seeing pink elephants farting rainbows. Eeeek!
WHY DO YOU WANT TO SMOKE?
Well to be completely honest, I want to experience it & see if it's really as bad as what I perceive. That's it, short & sweet & direct.
MY MAIN CONCERNS
What if I smoke & I get addicted?
What if I smoke & nothing happens?
What if I really see weird trippy things?
Will smoking make me a hypocrite due to me being anti-drugs?
These are my main concerns that are hindering my final decision to smoke or not.
I have interacted with the most intelligent people I have ever come across & these individuals smoke MJ. So it really cannot be that bad right? I mean, surely this doesn't affect an individuals IQ or ability to perform everyday tasks at full capacity?
I'm the type of person that likes to be in control of a situation. Based on my experience with other MJ smokers I feel at ease watching them and seeing that they were, according to me, in full control of what they were doing.
Their inhibitions & decision making abilities seemed on point as far as I could see. So now, I hand this over to an open discussion or just a comment or two. What are your thoughts?
To get a different perspective from regular / recreational MJ smokers would be a plus. Will this make me a bad person? A hypocrite? Or will it merely make me an individual who is curious and has done his research to the best of his ability to feel "safe" in trying this out?
Ladies & gentlemen, I thank you for your time. It took a lot of courage to post this, so I trust your unbiased opinions / advice with regards to my decision.
[edit] Thank you to all who have replied so far! It is greatly appreciated!
Just smoke. Experience is key. If you really don't want to smoke, than you know what to do. Trust your instincts.

I'm over 40 and smoke occasionally (perhaps 2-3 times a year) Marijuana is not addictive, not for me anyways and I've never had any bad trips (I grown my own and do not buy from black market sources)
I am a creative person and I find that a J allows me to gather my thoughts in ways that i could not have perceived before. I also become more in tune with my emotions and the emotions of people around me... The whole experience stays with me as I learn from it.

Hey I think you will be fine. Its more likely that you feel nothing than you get hooked.
Sometimes happens with first time smokers... they feel absolutely nothing. Don´t get disappointed if this is the case, just try again another day.
And I don´t think it would make you a hypocrite, at all. Doing it for comprehension purposes makes you a great individual I think. You will be able to learn from experience, take your own conclusions and grow as a person (IMO)
Good luck! ;)

A few choice points of advice:
-Don't overdo it. If you are smoking some high grade, start with just one puff. Don't make it a huge puff.
-Try a little sexy-time with the lady once you have a decent sense of well-being. You'll last longer and it will amplify the experience.
-Do not, under any circumstance, go out into a wooded area containing marmots to smoke. You'll quickly be surrounded and regret will follow!

It's diffucult to describe. It all depends on person's mental situation, concerns, character. You can't get addicted to weed, not even psychologically, it can become a habit though. Considering trips, they are influenced by the THC/CBD ratio in the strain. If you are prone to anxiety and stress don't try high THC strains because they will only make things worse.
On the other side CBD strains have true medical value for anxiety and other mental issues. Not recommended if you are going to work et cetera. It's a drug afterall.
Marijuana is one special thing, it reveals your true self. It's not just about laughing and finding simple things funny, it's a real treasure for philosophical thinking, questioning your past, present, future.
(don't use it if you or your family have a history of mental illness like schizophrenia and clinical depression because it might trigger one)

I used to smoke but have stopped. Not that I'm against it, I'am for it to be honest. The effect is just different for some people, for me I've only tried Indica and I get really sleepy and hungry fast. Haha The reason why I stopped because I usually smoke when my friends are with me, and I'd rather just spend my time with them and have fun and not worry about falling asleep.

I have smoked most of my life, and quit recently in order to get some personal issues in order, and I can tell you a few things for sure.
My suggestion would be to give it a try. The human brain has built in receptors specifically evolved for cannabis compounds. Humans have been eating and smoking it for thousands of years. Unless you have severe psychological issues or a family history of schizophrenia, you have nothing to worry about using it casually. I would suggest being careful if you are on any medications as well because it can multiply the effects of other drugs. For anyone who has any questions about any drugs I would suggest www.erowid.org, it is a wonderfully detailed resource.

There is nothing to be scared of. It can be overdone but intake over a hours timespan and you know what is enough. I did it in Netherlands some years ago. The guy in the coffee shop said just eat one cookie, wait half an hour, if you feel nothing, add half a cookie every half hour. These were .3 grams per cookie. And I ended up eating two. Did that every day I stayed there. Even my ibs got manageable.

You should consider vaping cannabis or cannabis oil instead. It's much healthier, much smoother, less likely to make you cough, and also, since it's at a lower temperature than a flame, some of the cannabinoids don't get destroyed by the intense heat of combustion (:

Most people don't get high their first time smoking. If I were you I would choose a hybrid of indica and sativa to get a more general feeling of Maryjane. I remember the first time I got high, not the first time I smoked, and it was like whoa! But after that a lot more manageable and the more you do it the less it really disables your faculties, if you will. I would vaporize if I were you since it is a lot easier. I like the classic hotbox variety but be careful and start small. Two to three hits and you should be good. To te best of my knowledge it needs to build up a little in your sustem before you get high but that was like 1990's information haha. I don't "partake" anymore since it's illegal, I am a Father and a Nurse and have to take random drug tests but I really wish I could. There is nothing better to cap off a long day than smoking some bud. Far better than a glass of wine in my opinion. You will not become addicted unless it is a mental dependence where tou just want to be high all the time or have used it for anxiety for so long that stopping makes you feel anxious and stressed but there are no addictive chemicals in there. You may get bloodshot eyes but I never did. Vaporizers also don't smell that much so thats a good thing. You can do it inside and no one will even know. My suggestion is just don't have anything planned or need to go out in public after smoking. Do it at the end of the day until you know how it feels. After that do it however you want but legally knoe your laws. And dont buy anything with seeds in it. The law is usually anything over 28 grams is intent to sell and not a personal use $30 non-criminal possession ticket. Most people buy a gram or 1/8 ounce. Thats what I used to buy. $30 for a 1/8 and I had the best hookup too. All different types of special strains that stunk up my entire condo haha. Those were the days. Now I am more concerned with making sure my Junior High Schooler isn't doing it. But once I stop Nursing under someone else I may start smoking again especially since I am in a medical MJ state and my PCP is a Medical MJ Dr. and everything is covered under the need to use which is great. It is such a safe "drug" that it really should not be illegal. It is seriously a lot safer than being even slightly buzzed off alcohol and driving. Everytime I have a couple drinks and drive I take a breathalizer that I bought and am amazed at how I feel and am still well under the legal limit. Makes me really scared to think there can be so many people driving that just had four drinks half an hour ago. The legal limit should be half what it is for alcohol and MJ should be legal in my opinion. Plus the heath aspect. Alcohol is sooo much worse for you than vaporizing THC. It is a comparison hardly worth drawing it is so blatant. Well anyhow I hope you have a good experience and don't worry you wont hallucinate. Idk shy they classify it as a hallucinogenic drug but they do. If you want a really fun time try mushrooms 🍄. P. cubensis. Just make sure you don't have anything to do within the next 12 hours. You can even make them at home very easily. Takes about a month or two tops. I try to do that once every five years or so. It is a really great experience and will make you hallucinate but not in the way you think. In my experience you don't really know until you try and the TV makes everything seem so much different than it actually is. Except for LSD. All bets are off with that stuff. Good luck and have fun ✌️❤️🇺🇸

Thanks. Hope I helped out a little. Smoking has such a negative stigma because of the lazy pothead stereotype but I know lawyers and Doctors who smoke every single day. It is the most benign "drug" out there. Also it helps so much if you are hung over or nauseas. That is what I miss most I think. Feeling nauseas and smoking and having it just magically go away.

About your concerns! You get addicted to anything that you try and like. That could be a snack, drink, sport or whatever. MJ is no exception.
I have never after 16 years of smoking MJ experienced nothing or weird trippy things. So my suggestion is don't be a hypocrite and don't be anti-drugs. Look at the Portugal's case, how they have went trough the drug decriminalization process and what's going on there now.

I have made my father smoke MJ for his first time when he was 56 years old. He was thinking it is a hard drug like many people but after his fist joint he changed his way of thinking and is now deep into medical cannabis in Germany. He use it for his pains and insomnia and is talking to people with the same thinking he had that it is a very good medicine. He is now 67 years old and i am very proud of him.

I would invite you over to my blog where you can find several different posts concerning cannabis. I am a chronic pain patient and have been using cannabis alone to treat my pain for many moons...
I will say that I believe every experience to be different and for your first experience I would recommend going easy on it. It will burn your throat and lungs. This is normal.
My best advice for someone new is just not to overthink the way you are feeling. If you are in tune with your body you will definitely notice a rise in your heart rate while experiencing slower respiration and a decrease in BP. Just enjoy it and if you don't then don't do it again. I personally love the plant. Love it I say. I was a grower as well for a long time so it is kinda in my blood you could say.

I will copy and paste a little snippet here from another post reply I made:
There are a multitude of ways to meditate. Adding in a simple mantra or just using om will help you to regulate your breathing. There are great om chanting meditations on YouTube. I simply try to keep my brain engaged in something as I stay medicated all day everyday.
Do not fear your sensations and relate it to lack of oxygen. Most of the initial responses that we feel when we inhale cannabis are in relation to the irritation to lung tissue, which may or may not cause an abnormal feeling/pain in the chest. As the cannabinoids course through our bodies we have an increase in heart rate but at the same time we often see a drop in our blood pressure. This is known as an inverse correlation meaning there are 2 responses going in opposite directions. Because of this we may feel anxious or unsteady. This can be uncomfortable for some while others hope for these effects. The consciousness can become very focused and react in unusual ways, so much so that we can become transfixed on a thought, leading to physiological responses. Example: You get high as hell and you begin to think I am feeling light headed, OMG I can't breathe! So you start into rapid breathing which you focus on and try to control. Breathing is an autonomic response and you should not try to control it. If you feel like you are not comfortable at this level I would recommend not smoking as much initially. Take one hit and then wait it out for 30 minutes.
If you have any questions about cannabis feel free to respond to this or stop over by my page and leave a comment. I will get back to you. Good luck and enjoy the flower of life my friend.

Being anti-drug can have different levels I'm sure. Have you ever had a cup of coffee or taken a Tylenol for a headache? Ever had a beer or a glass of wine? Those are all drugs. I would say MJ is along the same level as those drugs. It's only the government that thinks it should be up there with meth and heroin.

As a long term user of MJ, I have to say you're missing out. MJ always brightens my mood and opens my mind. Be careful with edibles, you can definitely overdo it quite easily. I accidentally took a double dose of chocolate and had to go for a long walk to get on top of the high.
Probably in your best interest not to operate any machinery your first few times getting high!

[ an Exert from my Introduction ] that you may appreciate:
...
It should be of No Surprise given my life experience, I feel all states should have at least Medical Cannabis available to all adults, veterans or otherwise.
And considering our CREATOR endowed us with an EndoCannabinoid System, much the same as our nervous, respiratory or lymphatic system, we were intended to have Cannabis for countless conditions from pain, to depression to physically healing the body in ways not yet understood by the mainstream.
And I'll go one step further, most people don't know your body naturally produces Sodium Bicarbonate, yea Baking Soda, but did you know your body also creates cannabinoids ?
That's right...
-So... people being drawn to this diverse holistic flower is not by mistake,
-there is a spiritual, mental and physical importance to cannabis,
-I've already mentioned why, but if that's still not good enough,
-because our CREATOR said so thru intelligent design.
...
I hope this clears some things up for you.
Be Blessed, Roger

I would suggest smoking an indica if this is your first time. Sativa's are a little more "trippy" and it might feel too strong. No way does this make you a bad person. This makes you an open-minded person. Maybe you won't like it but you are willing to try. On top of that, you researched it thoroughly beforehand so it's not like you are impulsively jumping into it.
Best of luck and make sure you have some tasty snacks at hand.

If you smoke a whole joint of the potent MJ of today you will indeed be 'trippy'!
Before I used pot (got my first bong for Xmas at 16) I was a meditator, astral traveler type. I still smoke. I'm 64 and healthier than my sport-jock older brother <--alcoholic! As a side point, as people age they become more like the distraught child they were!
If you become 'sleepy' when smoking it could be because you have equated the pot high as being like the high of intoxication from alcohol. Pot is not a depressant. It is a stimulant.
I use it to stimulate thought. It really greases the slides! You're wasting your money if you use it to get 'drunk'. Most people don't become very habitual users in that case anyway.
I see MJ as being part and parcel with the evolution of mind. Do you know about the experiments where they used lightning and a few organic chemicals to reproduce some of the basic building blocks of Nature? Well, when they added THC to the mix they got some of the first 'memory-type' structures! The Universe is deep and well-plumbed!
Don't waste your money on pot if you just want to alter your mind but don't know where you're going.

Only you can make that decision. That being said, it seemed from the pictures that you did somewhat enjoy the general/indica type effects you were feeling at first, and all of the negative things you describe are things commonly said by people trying too strong of a sativa. Particularly for the first time in 42 years. If you enjoyed it, I think you should experiment further with indicas and hybrids at first, and build up to sativas. Are concentrates available where you are? That would be a quick, effective way of seeing if indicas are for you. Through a small dab.

To help ease your fears you can't not get physically addicted to Marijuana any addiction to marijuana is purely mental. And unless you are buying a strain of marijuana that is specifically bred to make you feel trippy you won't feel a trippy feeling, and you will know even on the black market because the seller will know and tell you the type of buzz it has. If you decide to experiment with it, write another article and tell us what you experienced.

Very interesting and unusual perspective and very adult reflection in cause, effect and consequence. Never tried drugs at all in my case but i think everything should be legal in the same way as alcohol and tobacco. Telling an adult what chemicals they can use or misuse is insane. Portugal's way of treating drug use like a medical instead of criminal problem is the way to go. They still go after drug traffickers which i agree with. As long as you don't harm anyone else, do what you want.

I dont see the convenience of smoking. If you want to get high, you dont need to smoke it, you can always get totally wasted eating a cake made with pot oil. Also prepare a coffy aenema in case you got to comma (seriously I saw it in an ooooldd book as a remedy for excess of pot).

The definition of addiction, as I understand it, is becoming physically dependent on something to the point where you go through withdrawal when you stop. This just isn't possible with mj.
The risk is that you enjoy so much that you use in inappropriately. This has a bit to do with your tolerance and the potency of the herb. It's going to be a learning process. Fortunately if you use a dispensary you'll have a good idea of the strength indicated in milligrams. If you only had two hits and you couldn't think strait for an hour, you'll know to get weaker stuff or just have one hit. If you take a bit too much you'll either pass out for a few hours or have anxiety, neither of which are terrible.
The other advantage of dispensaries is that you know quite a bit about what you're getting and after trying a few kinds you'll have an idea of whether you want a sativa or indica dominant hybrid. Most people like sativa dominant hybrids the most so that's the majority of what you'll find. It's nice to have a little bit of an indica dominant around as a nice nightcap though.
Many people do not get high on their first try so do it a couple times before making any strict judgement calls.
Once you get comfortable with small doses you can start experimenting with stronger strains and unlocking some of the more psychedelic effects that are a lot of fun.

you say "I dislike anything that alters a person's state of consciousness." <Spelled properly, you forgot the s in consciousness. So you should not take pot because the THC does alternate your state of consciousness, in a most amazing way! If you want the medicinal benefits get a hold of some CBD instead. If you do actually want to get high, despite the fact you essentially already said you don't want to. I advise against smoking it because of the carcinogens . There are many alternative way to get high with pot, like edibles, or even instead of a joint try a vaporizer, much much more healthy for you. Enjoy!

Hi! I would recommend starting with an Indica as it is much more relaxing. Sativa's are known to sometimes cause a panic. I consider myself Stoned Sober ... I can function doing all of my daily activities under the influence of marijuana. I was prescribed medicinal marijuana for PTSD and it's great. Eating edibles is one of the best ways to do it as you are not inhaling any harsh smoke. Enjoy your journey, 42 is a great number :)

This is an important distinction. Marijuana does NOT create a physical dependence like most other drugs do. You will experience no physical withdraw symptoms even after years of heavy use. It however like anything else CAN be psychologically addictive just like food, sex, gambling, etc. If one has self control and does not have an "addictive personality", this is not a big issue for the vast majority of people.

What if I smoke & I get addicted?
One good thing about mj is that you realy don't suffer abstinence at all. You can smoke more than a joint a day for a month (not saying this is healthy) and just suddenly stop with no fisical abstinence feelings at all.
What if I smoke & nothing happens?
Well, this is a common thing. The effect is not as strong nor perceptible as alcohol, so this happens to a lot of people the first or second time.
What if I really see weird trippy things?
You are not going to have any kind of alucination, that just doesen't happen. You may get paranoid on little stupid things, but you must know there is no posibility that you are in real danger. Still, i would recommend you to smoke with a friend who knows the drug, you will feel much safer (just one or two friends, so you can feel comfortable)
Will smoking make me a hypocrite due to me being anti-drugs?
Don't think so. If you want to do it, just do it.

Son, you ain't gonna get addicted nor are you gonna see trippy things you're at best just gonna relax with a bag a chips and settle into some tv show never interested you before at all. Yes I'm older than you so son fits and yes I burned for 20 plus years so I've got experience ta' boot. I quit about 10 years ago and don't really miss it. The funny thing about weed is you and your best buds can sit around putting together the best heist plan in the world/ ever conceived but you'll never get off the couch to execute it :). Did you know that the beer and liquor companies spend boat loads of fiat to advertising against weed? Hmmmm wonder why? My suggestion to you is get some good shit and a glass pipe. In other words not some soaked down in coca cola brick weed off the corner. You'll have a much better experience. Also you may not even get stoned the first time or you may feel sick as hell as you need to somewhat get it in your system first. Either way, whatever happens it's an experience that's way better than alcohol/Satan's urine as I like to refer to it as and there's absolutely nothin' wrong with it other than the powers that be don't like it. Have fun brother.............

You are welcome. A glass bowl or a nice sherlock pipe. Glass lets you taste what you bought instead of burning it rolled. Also a hell of a lot better hits and you can control your hits with the air flow. JMO I grew up rolling my own but graduated to glass later on. If you don't want the harmful effects of actually burning and inhaling smoke look into vaporizing units or cook and eat your weed. If you do decide to go the latter route be careful as to how much you consume due to it takes longer to take effect and IMO is a hell of a lot more potent..............enjoy.

Everyone is different so you wont know until you try. Then factor in that each strain has its own pharmacological make up that produces varied effects on your body. Some make you sleepy, anxious, energetic, creative, intense uncontrollable cravings for junk food, forgetful etc
The first time I smoked weed I was 16, me and my cousin stole a joint of chronic killer stinks like a skunk through 10 bags killer. We smoked the whole thing...big mistake...I really don't remember everything. We were so high that we just wandered around Hannafords (grocery store), we kept forgetting where we were and what we were there to buy. My dry mouth was so bad that we were drinking those 12oz milks from the cooler and put it back. We loaded up on soda and cookies, I was having a hard time forming thoughts I could remember so communicating was a challenge. Devastating dry mouth combined with serious fried brain had us looking like we should have been waiting for a short bus NOT flopping into a junky 1992 Mercury Topaz.
So the moral of the story is, if the weed is killer killeer bomb bubonic chronic BE CAREFUL! Dont smoke the whole thing, take 2 goodones and wait 10 min. I smoke much less of the same stuff a few years later and still got almost too high to function. Less is more, ease your way in, overdoing it ruins the whole thing. Good luck

I completely understand your reservations about not being in control of your situation. I too very much dislike the feeling of being out of control of my own body or mind. That being said, I have been an avid cannabis user for about 12 years now on a nearly daily basis and I can tell you that I have never felt "out of control" after using MJ in any form (smoking a joing, blunt, bowl, bong, vape, etc.). I promise you will not "trip out" or see "pink elephants"! For me, smoking marijuana helps to calm my natural anxiety and also to creatively inspire me. Also, I am a firm believer that alcohol use is far more addictive and harmful that marijuana use (there is PLENTY of research to back this up). Hopefully my input will help to quell your fears a bit. You will not get "addicted", you will not see things and you are not a hypocrite! Take a drag or two of that joint for me, relax and enjoy it. Peace, Jill :)

I just wanted to add my two cents into this whole thing. I have smoked pot for at least 13 years and it did give me a high or buzz witht he THC but recently within the last 2 years I have learned the extremely harmful effects of it. For starters you do lose your memory from it. No you cannot die but it does directly affect your memory.
So here is the other thing about it and despite what people may say, what I am about to tell you is the truth. People smoke it for the High pure and simple. Those that say they smoke it for the medicine are lieing to you. YES, it does have medicinal properties but NOTHING happens medically by SMOKING it. God did not create anything to be smoked but to be ingested. I had to convince my family of this too. ONLY by in ingesting the oil Form (NEVER smoking) is their anything beneficial to health. Specifically Hemp Seed Oil and not ALL strains of it are beneficial. There is different chemicals inside that is responsible for different medical effects.
CBD is a chemical responsible for literally CURING and Killing cancer cells, stopping seizures, curing many mental ailments, and many others. Proper research into the different chemicals will tell you what each one does.
The People that smoke it for "medical reasons" are either 1 completely full of crap OR don't know what they are talking about period because they have never done the research and 3 are mainly doing it to experience the "high".
I FINALLY quit smoking it in January of 2016 and shortly after that I discovered I could start remembering things that would previously slip my mind, I not only started to remember but I felt better.
If I could give you any useful advice it would be to not try it, it is literally not worth it at all. This is coming from someone that used to get high all day long before repenting of it. After coming to the truth of what smoking it does and how people were misusing it... I was so thankful to quit.
I hope if nothing else my words mean something to you. Because even if I don't know you at all, even if you are a "whale" here on steemit. The MAIN purpose for this comment is simply because... I care and I do not want to see others go through what I went through for nothing. Don't do it man.... it ain't worth it. Trust me.

Great post. Weed can be used for different reasons and you'll have different effects from smoking different strains of weed. Of course other variables to consider is your environment and current mood.
Followed and upvoted!
Best,

I have been a medical user for a long time. I can tell you that if you stick to your plan and go slow, you'll be fine. You'll probably find it is underwhelming compared to what you expect. It's pleasant but no where near as intense as being drunk. Good luck and I hope you enjoy!

marijuana is not addictive, and if you smoke hydroponic(indoor) weed probably just one or two hits offf of a joint is all you will need, take it slow and find a lawn chair in the back yard or something where you cant be bothered so you done start worrying about people interacting with you, or smoke with some people that have some experience. or you can try edibles they are quite strong and no coughing your lungs out but just take it slow and try to enjoy.

If you're not a cig smoker you might find it really bad to start with, and even if you're a smoker you will cough your lungs out after the first few puffs. Don't be alarmed by that, after a few minutes it will start affecting your body and even if you can't feel it in your head, it will become easier for you to smoke. Also, like it's been said around here take small drags until you're comfortable with larger ones.
You could try vaping it as well if you can find someone who'll sell you some extract mixed with PG/VG or just use a vaporiser that takes dry matter. It's smoother.
Just a note, I really don't think you it applies to you, but weed can be addictive for some people; I don't mean a physical addiction but a psychological one, you've made it to your 40's without trying it so I think it's pretty clear that you're safe from that.
Post an update when after you try it, curious to see your take on it!
Cheers

If your trying it for the first time be sure to do it in an environment that you feel comfortable in, having a bad trip in an unfamiliar place is not fun. Especially when your a newbie to MJ and unsure of how your body will react. MJ will not make you see weird things. It hasn't been addictive as far as I have experienced. Take it easy, if your body isn't used to it a little bit of MJ can do a lot. You don't want to get too high. Hope all goes well!

Addiction is inability of individual to control (restrain) his needs.
So, if you consider yourself, for your 42 years of life and experience, person with a strong character who knows whats ok or not, please carry on.
It's not a heroin that you can get physical addiction, and based on your article, you've already done review of it, so this statement is kinda something you already know :) But great idea for an article around here ;)
Cheers, and let me know when you get High :)
