I'm new here and have smoked pot only twice (and never got high) and just wanted to make this my introduction I guess.

But snce this is mostly a question I had to ask,,, could I be smoking pot wrong?

Both times I did it I kind of put a lighter to it on a small metal plate and sucked the smoke (the small bit there was) through the tube thing of a pen. Will that ever get me high? maybe the third time?

welcome to RIU

first get yourself a legit pipe or some papers
take a big ole puff and hold it in, simple as that
