I've smoked exactly one joint in my life. I don't think I got high at all and didn't enjoy the experience. But I'm curious to know what folks find enjoyable about it. Does it just chill you out? Does it make you feel like you don't have a care in the world? I don't think I'd ever try smoking one again but idk I'd maybe try edibles in a vegan brownie or something.
Not feeling anything the first time is pretty typical. I didn't feel anything the first few times either. Once I did, it was pretty intense. These days it's much milder, mostly just a sort of relaxed feeling.
You should also know that edibles aren't really the same drug; THC is chemically altered by the digestive system. It's also a lot easier to overdo it with edibles and have a bad experience (in ways that aren't even really possible when smoking), so be careful about dosage.
adding to this, if you eat an edible and you don't feel anything after ~20 mins DON'T just eat another one, they take a while to kick in
otherwise it could hit you like a freight train and you will have a bad time
