Quote from Slayer

The first hit was really strong, I could taste it well. It was a minty kind of smoke, really thick. You're supposed to hold the smoke in as long as you can, I was told, and if you hold it in long enough it starts to burn. I got good at it after a few hits, you couldn't see like five feet in front of you. I was taking huge hits, making smoke rings was so interesting. I just got laid back and relaxed, stupid shit was funny, and I got hungry. We used a water pipe. I probably smoked maybe four or five bowls, but they say the first time doesn't hit you as hard as the second and third times.
