First time I smoked weed: is this normal?

Yesterday my friends and I smoked marijuana after school. One of my friends has smoked a lot of weed, while my other 2 friends were trying it for their first time along with me. I smoked a joint that had not even a third of a dime of weed in it; my friends all smoked around a dime, maybe a little less. I started feeling strange tingling sensations in my head around 5 minutes after I finished smoking. My legs felt a little weird too. Around 10 minutes after smoking, everything felt really weird- it was insanely hard to keep my train of thought, I kept dazing off and not remembering what I was going to say, and I would smile, even though i knew something wasn't at all funny. Everything felt kind of like a dream, and I was really nervous. I was panicking ALOT, and wondering when it would finally wear off. I felt scared and concerned and just really dazed for around 2 hours. After the first 2 and a half hours I could feel the effects were changing, because I felt a little more lose and calm. I felt like I was really chill and relaxed for around 6 hours, but I still couldn't concentrate too well and everything felt weird. In total, I experienced around 8 hours worth of effects. I got around 8 hours of sleep last night, and I just woke up- but I still feel slightly zoned out and distanced from reality, but nothing at all like yesterday; just not totally normal. Was everything I described normal? I felt as though I was stuck in a bad dream yesterday because I just wanted the high to wear off as soon as possible. Also, when will this mild "haze" wear off? I am NEVER going to try weed or any other drug again, because of this horrible experience.

Update:

Also, my friends who were trying it for their first times didn't experience anything like this- they said that they felt more calm and concentrated? wtf? My experienced friend said it was the highest he has ever gotten...

    i had simular effects when i firstly tried weed yesterday, i guess people have different effects some feel nothing at all and others feel alot, personally i felt my legs shaking and i couldnt feel them at one point, i felt dizzy and weird - it was as if i felt my brainc cells dying lol and today i have a megga head ache . I think it is normal, but at least you tried it and maybe its best to stop after one try as your health can become worse and possibly into cancer.

    Yes, that was very normal. Typically its relaxing but it can easily induce anxiety as well. Pot just isn't for some people, like myself. You'll be fine. No need to worry!

    Your such a wimp. You got scared and that made you have a nervous, paranoid experience. Yeah, drink a glass of water and take a shower and you should be fine.

    Your experience is natural.

    I would advise you to refrain from smoking weeds as it will ultimately do you irreparable damage.
