I smoked it but couldn't inhale!

[fujiyama]

LOL, I have my differences with Clinton over some of his policies, but God I miss him! Anyone see that part of the interview?

It's funny, but I had the same thing happen to me. I've smoked it twice, but either I'm just not getting it, or I'm not inhaling properly! Hell, I couldn't even smoke a cigerrete properly...Anyone have any idea what the hell I'm doing wrong?!

1. I just don't get that.

You can use a straw, can't you?

[Kahuna]

5. A straw to smoke? Uh. No.

:eyes:

10. No smartass.

Using a straw is very similar to smoking. Clamp mouth around cylindrical object, breath in. If you can do one, I don't see how you couldn't do the other. Granted most first time smokers feel a little sick, in fact my friend threw up when he stole his mom's smokes back in 5th grade, but that's still smoking none-the-less.

13. Not really.

When you drink with a straw you don't want it getting into your lungs. I think a lot of people make that mistake when they first try weed, I sure did, they suck on it but they don't really inhale, i.e. expand your rib cage and really let it back into your lung.

I'm not a tobacco smoker, but I believe that's the difference between smoking cigarettes and smoking cigars.

2. You and Bill have intellegent lungs

They just don't want to draw in foreign substances. Trust them.

4. I tried to smoke a cigarette when I was 8 years old

I couldn't get any smoke into my mouth, much less my lungs. My lungs were saying "What the hell are you trying to do?!" I listened to them. Good thing, too.

6. back in "the good old days"

the third time i went out with this guy he told me i had to get the smoke down my throat - oh! no wonder i wasn't getting any effects. and i was a cigarette smoker back then too, although gave that one up over 20 years ago. never understood why everybody thought clinton was lying over that one. big deal.

7. I smoked, I inhaled, I HURLED!

That shit's nastier than tobacco. And I smoked tobacco for over 30 years before quitting last year.

[H2O Man]

8. Right. Sure. Yep. Me, too!

It was the same day I drank a beer without swallowing it.

[truthspeaker]

9. I believe it! I couldn't figure out how to inhale cigarettes

until I smoked bud.

It's a learned skill.

11. Brownies, Bill! Brownies! n/t

[sus]

12. Tony Kornheiser wrote a column about this way back when and

I remember him painting a picture of Bill in college and his buddies saying "Okay Bill. When we pass the hash brownies around, you can just LICK them."

14. you need to learn how to smoke

had the same problem. Have a pothead friend do most of the work for you -- fill up the chamber on a big pipe for you and then have you clear it.
