No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

You should wait a bit, it's true about the studies. To be honest, I wouldn't say a few times hurts much but it's relatively easy to build a dependency though. Easy to go from every weekend, to every few days to always.
That being said, I second what people say about smoking and I also recommend using a good quality bong to make it easier on your throat. The smoothest hits I've ever taken have been with a home made gravity bong made out of a glass vodka bottle. Avoid plastic though, yuck. Don't over do it if you use a bong. No need for like mega hits, you won't need a lot anyways although some people don't get high their first times.
Thank you for mentioning this. I didn't try weed until my mid-20s and it took years of intermittent trying before I actually felt high. I'd never heard that this could happen, so I just got upset thinking I'd never be able to understand what the big appeal of weed was. Only in my late 20s, at a friend's party where I'd already gotten pretty buzzed on alcohol, did a hit of a pipe make me finally feel something.
I don't know if it finally clicked because of lowered inhibitions due to the alcohol, or if my brain had to build up to feeling an effect, or what, but weed's worked as intended ever since. I will add that I'm the type of person that has been asked throughout my teenage years, "What are you smoking? And can I have a hit?" despite being 100% sober until my 20s. Maybe having an already-weird brain had something to do with it?
So yeah, OP, be prepared to discover that you might not feel anything from weed at all. It doesn't seem to be terribly common, but it is definitely possible that nothing happens the first few tries. That doesn't mean it will never happen, though.
And prepare what you're gonna have ahead of time for if you get the munchies. The first time I ever smoked weed, I ate a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter (because it was the quickest food I could get my hands on) and spent the next hour thinking I was alternately gonna throw up or shit myself ... while high.
