My very first experience with weed was hitting a gravity bong made out of a 2L bottle of Coke, a big jug of Hawaiian Punch at a party, and the fattest bowl I’ve ever fucking seen:

I hit the entire 2L, (essentially 1-hitting the entire bowl), accidentally sucked too hard at the end of the hit and got a mouthful of dirty bong water, immediately coughed up a lung while trying not to puke my guts out, and had the most wicked high of my life… The way God intended.
That shit teaches respect. If my first experience with weed was hitting a pen, I wouldn’t have learned that a plant can rip your soul out for like 15 minutes. The same way a newbie beachgoer doesn’t respect the sea until they almost drown, I would have been full of hubris if I had a fucking vape pen as my first experience.

I mean if you just started smoking yeah. When you’ve been smoking for 10+ years not every session needs to be life changing. I’ll roll up a nice joint or pack a solid bowl for fun times when I want the “experience” but for normal getting high purposes the pen stays by my side

oh for sure, but by experience i don’t mean life changing as much as i mean literally anything other than a hit off plastic and waiting for it to kick in, id rather do edibles at that point.
my normal getting high purposes usually involve a super tiny crack pipe with a bowl that’s already half ash lol. i also just don’t like carts because of how different the smoke feels, so 99% of the experience i mean is probably related to the heat of the lighter or something lol idk

That used to be my normal until I switched to carts and my lungs have thanked my every hit for years. I know that flower tastes better, but the added shit that comes with smoke isn’t worth it IMO. Personal preference is personal and all that, but yeah, there’s probably part of the particular experience that you relate to and is nostalgic or some shit.

Well the good news is you are free to do edibles any time you like. Lots of people like vape pens. Please don’t gatekeep cannabis.
