I don't have a lot of experience when it comes to smoking weed and my only real usage has been when I've dabbled at home alone when attempting to enhance my VR experience, therefore I am never really sure how much I should consume.

When I've seen people smoking it at parties they tend to have one big joint that everyone takes a puff or two from and then passes it onto the next person, but how does it work when you are smoking it alone?

I tend to make a fairly small joint which I mix 50/50 with tobacco and then I take a few puffs and it usually burns out, so I wait a couple of minutes and light it again but as I seem to be smoking it continuously (as you would a cigarette) I'm always a little paranoid that this is too excessive. From what I've seen, people don't smoke a joint from start to finish as you would a cigarette, and I'm concerned that this would be too much in too short space of time and that I'll throw up or something.

What this leads to is me taking maybe 6-8 puffs and then getting paranoid and putting it out, but then the VR experience doesn't seem to take off in the way I'd hoped and I always wished I'd smoke a little more.

Don't get me wrong, the experiences I've had so far have been really awesome, but I can't help get the feeling it could be even better. So how do you guys do it? I can't really have a puff, watch some VR and then have another puff to keep the vibe going as I have to smoke outside and this would kill the mood to have to keep going outside and stopping the session, so what is the protocol here and how do you know how much to consume without making yourself sick?

For a bit of backstory I had some terrible experiences with edibles when I was younger and so I'm always a little scared of going too far and that happening again..
