reddog, you don't say how you do with nicotine. If you are just experimenting, take it slow, either a small bowl or a third of a regular bowl. Eat a good meal first, drink some beverage (to hydrate). Most people do fine, beyond a little light-headed feel, but if you don't know how you do, don't drive or use power tools. Some people react little, if at all, and others get kind of sick, so be sensible. I don't smoke for a buzz, but when it arises, I find it kind of nice. I don't soak up high-nic blends, but I enjoy them in moderation.
