I'm gonna double-up on replies here. Another viewpoint I have. I was also a marijuana dealer for most of the time I was in high school and college. Besides not having to pay for weed and making money, in the course I introduced many first-timers to marijuana. Many times, I was their for the first time they got high and observed the experiences... at least of dozen of them, probably more.
At least 3 out of 4 of those sessions generally went smooth. For some it was an instant hit. For some they became tired or paranoid, but got home safely, marijuana didn't catch on for some of those people, and others it just took more exploration.
That last 1 out of 4 sessions that didn't go smooth. I have some stories.
One guy, we honestly over-pressured when he was ultimately not wanting - or ready - to try marijuana. He was in our car, and after some time when we came to a stop he actually opened the car door and ran home. To be honest, I guess he parents taught him well. On the other hand, years later I randomly did cocaine with his brother at a general house party.
One guy became socially awkward while very high, and made some dumb comments towards the dealer I purchased from. The dealer didn't take it well, and threatened to fight him and pushed him. The anxiety and panic that guy experienced led him to screaming "I'm Sorry" repeatedly, until he got up and hurried home (which was across the street from said dealers house). He smoked again but scarcely.
One guy, who we believed was a chronic liar, broke down while we were standing around high trying to explain why we didn't believe his stories. He broke down and admitted he was a chronic liar, and we already knew he was lying to pretty much everyone ever about his life. We never did learn what he was covering up or how his life really was. I don't think he smoked again.
I've seen people get emotional and cry, but I've seen that with alcohol and other drugs plenty of times.
I'm probably missing other weird ones, but it was an edge case when things got out of hand on weed alone. Throw in other drugs & alcohol and the stories are endless.
