First time with weed...

Hi all,
I posted a while ago about this but now I've actually acquired about 3.5g of marijuana. In my earlier post I mentioned that I didn't want to smoke and would rather eat it, but got many replies saying I shouldn't eat it for my first time.
Just wondering, without spending like $100 on a bong or anything crazy, how should I smoke it? How much should I take my first time? I plan on just chilling in my room and listening to some Pink Floyd. Not sure if I'm ready to spend a lot of money just yet, so basically I'm wondering what is the most basic and healthy thing to do for my first time?
Note: only other drugs I've done are alcohol and mushrooms.
Thanks a lot guys 
Edit: Also any information about grinding, etc. would be helpful. I am a complete noob but I've been around others using weed before, so I know more-or-less what to do.

You can go to most head shops, tobacco shops, etc. and get a nice bowl for probably around 25 dollars but you can get even cheaper, smaller ones or chillums for maybe even 5 dollars.
Smoking marijuana really isn't as unhealthy as many say it is. The only major health concern I see with smoking it is that it paralyzes the cilia on either the throat (or trachea? I can't remember) which can lead to stuff like bronchitis. However, I've known people who have smoked chronically for many years and have never even come down with that sickness.
Smoking may feel unhealthy because it irritates the lungs but that's really all it does to them. If you want to be healthy just control your munchies or eat a lot of fruit.
Enjoy man!
-------------------- Do not let psychedelics allow you to think lower of people who haven't done them or don't plan on doing them because "they don't know the truth". Let your enlightenment acknowledge that everyone is equal and that no one is inferior. This mentality goes against what they are meant for. By the way, everything typed on this account is completely fictional and all for the purpose of entertainment.

Thanks a lot! Yeah by "healthy" I meant avoiding lighter fluid fumes, etc. I don't mind the smoke part itself. Thanks for the suggestion about the bowl!

Just start out with a small pipe or water bubbler whichever you prefer, they are really cheap. First time users can have an exotic effect that will resemble no other high ever again, I experienced this as well so don't be scared off if it happens enjoy it fully. Also some first time users may take awhile for it to work in your system. It took me 8 days until cannabis finally worked for me, most people it's on the first try though. Just take enough to fill the bowl of the pipe or bubbler and smoke it all. If you don't feel anything try another day.
If you enjoy it and are concerned for your health just buy a decent water bong(ranging from 50 to 100 dollars) it really makes the smoke smooth and leaves hardly any tar, I've been using bongs daily for over a year now and I don't have any side effects from the smoke itself, my throat always feels normal and I always use hemp wick to light my bowl.

Roll a joint? Take a few hit and put it out. Wait 20-30 minutes and see what happens. Repeat as needed.

my first time about 15 yrs ago, i took a square of aluminum foil and folded it into a strip about a foot long by 5 inches once its folded over 2-3 times, grab a regular size sharpie or other smooth straight and hard pen or something stick like that it can slide off of easy once you roll it around the tube slide the pen out to the last 3/4 inch, then bend one end up about 75 degrees,,, suck air thru it to make sure you get ok flow..... take a peice the size of a pea or slightly smaller. and light it, as you puff it and take a good size puff, and inhale...
TIP, the vaporizers availible work really well because they only heat it enought to get the good stuff out without overheating it.,,,, SO,,, try keeping the flame off the weed itself an the heat from the flame being pulled across by your puffing will singe but not quite ignight the weed, making it less harsh, and more potent by not overheating the cannabanoids abd THC-Delta9
google how to make easy aluminum foil pipe. this way you cn try it, if you dont like it, pass the weed off to someone who will love it like it deserves.... if you DO like it, and i hope you do.... then go find a bowl or bong you like... MOST head shops have DECENT quality glass pipes that have a carb on the side andare about 20-30 bucks... the heavier the glass and thicker it is the better,,,
I figure that the aluma-bowl method will save you the possibility of wasting a bunch of cash on a bowl you may not ever use again...
IM SURE someone will chime in on why NOT to use foil to make a quick tester pipe, but ive always used them when i go places to avoid having a real bowl on me.... I much rather smoke then crush up my alumabowl and toss it away if need be than to get caught or lose or break my 75$ pipe.
ALSO get some visene eye drops, makes the eyes feel and look better afterward.
PPS, if you use my idea of aluminum foil... you can actually pack a bowl with a bit of weed then pich the end shut to not let it fall out, then you can take it with you and have it already ready to go,,, and then after you decide to smoke, open it up and hit it as you wish.... after your done, if you got weed still left, pich it back and save for later,,, once its all spent, either keep it and use again, or just ball it up and toss it in a PROPER TRASH RECEPTICLE!!!
i dont care to break laws to use weed or whatever, as long as it hurts nobody, but never litter

Since it is your first time smoking I would also suggest going to a head shop/tobacco shop and buying a simple chillum or small pipe for around $10-$25. You can try to roll a joint but if you have never rolled before and no one has taught you how to roll it will seem impossible to get a joint that is actually smokable, and some people think that joints are a little too harsh for them since there is barely any room for the smoke to cool down before it enters your lungs.
DO NOT use a aluminum pipe never ever, the metal ends up heating up and your start to inhale the smoke of the metal along with the weed, and this leads to lock jaw and other ailments.
If you end up buying a piece(pipe or other smoking object) and you do end up not liking smoking then no big deal, find someone and either give it to them or sell it to them, never sell a piece for more than you bought it for.
Make sure you have plenty of water on hand as well as good healthy foods in case of cottonmouth and the munchies, blast some music and have fun man!

you could buy a cheap chillum or if you don't want to go to a headshop find a bible and tear a page (has to be hemp) out that doesn't have any writing on it and roll it up into a joint. You don't want to smoke a lot and you want to take it into your lungs and not just have it sit around in your mouth. Don't be surprised if you don't get high your first time because it might take a couple tries but don't smoke through it all at once if you aren't feeling anything. If you know how to inhale properly you will only need 1 or 2 hits to feel good and you will probably be baked off that much too haha. So basically, you should try to find a pipe of some sort, you should inhale the smoke, and that is about all there is to know. Also Dark Side of the Moon is a very good album to listen to for your first time smoking. You will fall in love with psychedelic rock. Also you want to take the plant material off of the stems (woody pieces). Make sure you roll the bud around in your fingers to make sure there isn't any seeds and you want it to crumble into smaller bits and then you just load it into a pipe or whatever and go from there. Also if you use a pipe there will be a little hole on the side, you put your thumb over that and then take it off when it feels like there is smoke in the pipe. I am only giving advice on how to properly smoke marijuana.

Wow, thanks a lot for the input everyone. I will definitely just go out and buy a small pipe. I'll likely end up keeping it!
Again, how much should I do my first time? I've got 3.5g. Someone suggested a pea-size amount. Good idea?

All I'm gonna say is you might not feel high your first time. This is usually due to not inhaling the smoke, but it can also be the body not responding.
Deep inhale. Breathe in fresh air while the smoke is in your mouth so you really take it in your lungs.

Don't roll a joint, joints suck ass. Bongs n blunts r where it's at. Joints burn soo fast nd I feel like I don't get as high when I get ripped of the same amount in a blunt n the blunt usually lasts 20+ minutes. Don't get a dutch for a roll, it's too complicated for a beginner to take the leaf of n put it back on. The easiest blunts to roll are bluntvilles. It comes wit 1 cigar with 2 rolls on it n the leaf nd paper r already put togeather horizontally so if u rip the paper u can still fix it easily with the leaf in one simple motion. It's not the best quality leaf tho, can b a lil nasty tastin. I like swisher sweets the most
For bluntvilles.. Distribute the weed evenly on the paper, fold (don't literally fold) the bottom up a lil higher then the weed, pinch the bottom part, lick all over the leaf, nd the roll up. U shouldn't need to use a table.. all with ur hands in one motion basically. Trust me blutvilles r the easiest blunts to roll they're fool proof.

For a dollar or 2 but a pack of rolling papers, and roll a joint. Im not saying the person above me doesn't get higher from bongs or blunts, everyone is different. However I and my friends get higher on joints, than bong hits and we have really good bongs. Also the reason I don't like blunts is because of the tobacco in the wrapping which you inhale.
If you have trouble rolling a joint roll it around a pencil then fill it with weed.

Get rolling papers, invest in a grinder (or break up the bud in your hands), ask your stoner friend to roll it for you(or learn how to roll). Now just smoke your joint which should be around 0.7g and get high (:

True, I didn't get high my first time smoking. The 2nd time though, I felt almost like I was tripping.

fuck, if you are poor and are only planning on smoking like once..
get a pen, some foil, wrap the foil around the pen, then bend an end to make a foil pipe, drop weed in, light and inhale...
once weeds done, smoosh foil into a ball and throw away...
its toxic but if done once it won't do anything to you..
fuck, get an apple and drill two holes if you want... eat the apple if you like after smoking
