    I was sober, and I felt nothing my first time, either.

    You didn’t inhale properly; nobody does their first time. Cause otherwise you would have definitely felt it since alcohol intensifies the high.

    Try again. It can take 2-4 attempts before you get the technique down and are able to actually feel something.

      I inhaled like I would with an inhaler, and those always worked right (back when I needed them). Regardless, it’s been 19 years since I tried it, and I don’t see any reason to start something else that’s not great for my health.

        Iirc inhalers are direct-to-lung, smoking weed is mouth-to-lung. Use your mouth as an antechamber for the smoke and then inhale it down with fresh air, hold for 5-7sec, exhale, repeat if necessary (don’t over do it, can always smoke more, can’t unsmoke that last hit.)

        It also isn’t that unhealthy. And if you vape or eat it instead it isn’t really any unhealthy. As for “why” only you could answer that, you do you, I’m just spreading info.

          The vape/edible argument is a good point, and I would be open to trying it that way if I could legally get out in my state.
