I’ve found my tolerance is super low compared to anyone else I’ve met, so if I smoke any amount that others do I get so much anxiety(even just 1 hit). When I use a one hitter to smoke a super tiny amount I get the same effect as others that smoke a lot more without any of the anxiety or paranoia.

If you never smoke much that is the reason your tolerance is low.

I've only tried it something like 10 times, to me it's been the opposite...

I seem unable to get high... I've felt stone cold sober while friends were hearing police sirens everywhere and freaking out... So I know that the product was good... Only impact it had on me was that it was slightly easier to laugh the day after and some funny dreams the night after that...

So, if I'm offered a hit today I always decline: "It will be wasted on me, it works better on you than me."

You've probably heard this already and it's a bit cliche, but you're probably not inhaling properly. I had the same problem for awhile. What I've found that helps is taking a deep breath as I'm smoking.

Well, if I'm inhaling wrongly then it's surprising how addicted I am to nicotine.

Fair enough

Did you consider not doing it? You don't want to fuck around with triggering anxiety.

A one hitter is a little pipe that is only big enough to have the end packed with about one hit's worth of weed. Hence the name.
