...feel no effect whatsoever the first time marijuana is used. Quite contrary to the effects of alcohol's first use, this is probably a result of overexpectation, apprehension about the unknown, and the pervasive awareness of doing something illegal. This last aspect is one reason that photographed pot parties often look furtive and clandestine. "The first time I ever smoked pot, I got upset, frightened and sick," says a mid-thirtyish Chicago housewife...
...Francisco architect got his first fraction of an ounce of pot as a gift. He and his date did a ham-handed job of rolling joints that dripped leaves at both ends. Somehow they smoked them. What happened? "Exactly nothing. The next night we rolled four joints and got down to some serious smoking.

These are usually intensely personal discomforts that are hard to articulate, but they are usually short-lived-say, two hours long at the most. I have had very moving illusory experiences under pot too. These aren...
From his own experience, the architect has decided that "pot certainly isn't addictive in the normal sense. For those who like it, it's as habit-forming as strawberry ice cream to people who love that dessert. Since my first try, I have gone as much as six months without so much as a puff...
