How to be a polite pothead/ what are your rules?

Adding tobacco to your joint is a sin in my book, unless your smoking hash but even that I don't do. If your smoking wet weed I'd dry it instead of trying to smoke it. The THC's psychoactive properties only activate when it is dried.

Some say it gets you higher, My answer to this is take a drag of a cigarette and hold it in like you do with weed, when you feel the had rush now mix it with the weed thats what your feeling. Its only better after the joint in my opinion.

Some say it tastes better, My answer to this is buy better/real weed, I think you actually make it taste worse. Its all or nuthing really, you want to smoke pot smoke pot you want to smoke smoke a smoke. you can't even appreciate the flavor properly when its mixed for either

Some say it makes the weed smoother I say same answer as above and ARE YOU FUCKIN CRAZY?!

I think the only thing thats good with adding tobacco is it makes the joint look bigger, thats it.

And something a bit off subject but it caught my eye; Florida girl do you really pay those prices? That is ridiculous!!! 60 an 8th and 100 for 7?! I feel bad for you.

In Canada even in the east the price for "good" weed is: 25-30max. for an 8th,50-60max. for quarter oz(7gr.), 90-120max for half oz. and 170-220max for full oz.
And 15-25 for 1 gr. hash

That is insane florida girl, I hope you take advantage of that when it comes time for your stuff,LOL. but I think someone is ripping you off big time.

I use tobac. just to make it last longer...As my friend Canna knows (after a RIU to RIU meeting) availability in my part of town sucks....If I want good it's an hour train ride each way................ Florida girl.........for those prices you better be smoking COMA weed, and not basic street weed.......OUCH

Another good rule I follow. If I am with a bunch of people (more than just me and hubby) make sure you pitch in some buds to smoke. No one likes to always smoke you up, lol. Oh and I do agree with emptying the bong yourself too, I don't want your old smoke and ashes, lol.

We should start the tokers handbook. All the proper ways to partake, without pissing the world off... Second thought, screw the world....pissing of people WITH weed, and those that might contribute to your buzzabilty...................happy 4:20

Check THIS out; my sister, when her bud's gettin' low (and she lives right near San Fran, she's not in an area where good dank is hard to find!) mixes it with fucking dried herbs and smokes it! She tried it on me and I could NOT f'ing stand it, I told her she'd wasted the bud.

A tip for anyone who uses tobacco as filler, Roll smaller joints.

Or smoke it in a bong or pipe, it lasts longer I find.

When sharing a joint... don't "wet lip" it.. and for gawwds sake... don't get lipstick and/or lip gloss on it.

I definately agree! Especially on the lip gloss thing. When I know I'm about to smoke, if I have lipgloss on I take it off, cuz that shit's fucked up. One girl hit my pipe, and it was CAKED with the gooey shit from her lips...it was pretty DISGUST

Welcome to the world of green!

Here's a stoniquette tip for you:

Puff puff give, don't fuck up the rotation!

Was smokin with some friends the other day and there was this chick who was new to weed I think and she was drunk as well, the pipe came her way and she would hit it, talk, talk, talk hit it and then pass it, unfortunately I was in line after her. This is considered extremely shabby among most stoners. This can be a bit of a gray area though, different people say yeah take a couple tokes and pass it on, others say one toke and pass it on but always remember DON'T HOLD ONTO THE SMOKE AND LEAVE PEOPLE WAITING! The passing of the pipe or joint or whatever has an almost spiritual vibe to it and if you break the rythm of the ritual it's bad Karma!

Have fun and be happy!!!

Yeah, no microphoning (you can only call it that if you're passing a bong)! Also known as babysitting (can be said no matter HOW you're smoking). Around here they'll call you on that shit quick, because if someone's "too polite" to speak up...they may never get a hit.

EXCEPT, if you're getting smoked out, and not throwing anything down. Once, this guy I knew was smoking me and a buncha friends out, and it was all him, you know? He loaded every bowl. At one point, he was micin it, tellin a story...and one of my friends (ASHAMED to call this fool a friend after this...) said "Dude, hit it or quit it." The guy was like, WTF? I'm just glad he left without beating my friend's ass...

So yeah, if your being a mooch and smoking up someone elses shit, keep your mouth shut and just be happy.

Also don't be an asshole and build one of those fucking ultra flame lighters and not warn someone. I'm kinda attached to my eyebrows and eyelashes, and don't like losing them for trying to get high.

SECOND THAT!

A few common curtousies

- The guy who supplies the weed gets green hit
- Dont be greedy. If you take a big hit just pass it. If you dont get any smoke on a hit though, dont be afraid to take another. Just say something like "I didnt get any off that, sorry." Sometimes the flame will burn out a bit too quick, it happens.
- Your new, so dont be afraid to ask questions. I know a lot of newbies have trouble operating a carb or pull-out bowl. I think thats why a lot of people dont get high their first time.
- Prices Range, so find something your comfortable with. It may be just my area, but I usually pay around $120 an ounce. And I dont buy anything trashy either, lol

Good luck!

Whatever you do, don't act like you know/can handle more than you can. lol, if you're a novice, chances are people can tell no matter what you do. But when someone's a novice, AND they sit there talking about how they're so NOT a novice...then you have to fuck with them a little, or you let them fuck themselves up.

I noticed, when I just started smoking, when people found out I was new to it, they seemed to really ENJOY teaching me shit.

Kool little site Storm22, but in my day we just learned to be polite from our parents and that overflowed into our pot enjoyment - good old peer pressure!


Widow

yup, I guess ill put my 2 cents in..

1. Dont be a leech..If you have a friend that always has weed And He lights up a bowl, and he offers you a hit..SAY YES..

But: dont make a habbit of recieving but never giving out bowls/joints/blunts..what happens is every one catches on that your some dude that is greedy about his weed,They may still chill with you of course..BUT your the leech of the group..for a long long while..

Goes both ways?: YES, if you like smoking weed, but your to polite to NOT confront the leacher, Then not only are you not getting herb in return for your herb, but you look bad in front of your friends And they look bad in front of there friends, so my advise? man up and stop the source before this guy gets his fill and dips out..

2. IF your chilling with some one who has kids, when packing/rolling the Bowl/bong/joint/Blunt..Dont do it in front of there kids..at the age of 1 or 11..


why: My kids can smoke with me hand in hand when there old enough to understand it, But right now there open flys with no zipper..So you make the mistake of breaking this rule..and a few days your friend A. looses there kid to social services..B. arrest are made.. C: you get caught and your friend beats your ass..a well deserved ass kicking in my opinion..

3: DO NOT JACK A BOWL/BONG/..(ah hell..why not Lighter!!!!!Dont do to others what you wouldnt do to your wife/girlfriend/mom..(note i am leaving out ex-wife/ex-girl..hell STEP MOMS!!lol)

If you steal a bowl/bong that was uncalled for..then your a dick, If you stole one of my Spoons or my vaps, you would get your ass handed to you quick let me tell you what! Back on point though:

why?: think about how you would feel if your car or your house got robbed..Bong water spilled everywhere, your plants gone or stomped, your shit stolen..Now imagine that feeling along with the knowledge that you know who did it..

Why2?: focus all that anger and thoughts of death on yourself..Because Pot heads are all the same..I mean the way they react to a high is different..meh..look we are all super pissed and high enough to do stupid shit..

Does it go both ways?: hell yes..Respect my property and ill respect yours..nuf said..

I should try to start a stickie with post that can add on rules and shit just to prevent this from being asked again..

lol

Im finally 20 as of 4:20

If you break someone's piece, you replace it, end of story. Doesn't matter how much they paid for it, or if they didn't pay for it at all, if you break someone else's piece, you fucking replace it.

I second that..

THANK YOU! lol, I had some guy break a really nice bong of mine. I only paid 100 for it cuz I got a BOMB ass hook up, but to replace it was going to cost him like 300. He said it wasn't fair that he had to pay that much for it when I only paid 100. I was like, If you can find it for 100, you're welcome to pay it. I don't give a shit how much it costs as long as it's replaced!

Trust me, out of my many Binge on bowls, there were two that i loved the most..In 9th grade this girl made me a bowl that was made out of clay and looked like a penguine, I could keep the bowl out in plainsight and no one would think it was a bowl..BUT a Friend of mine who brought one of his friends, picks it up and drops it..I just stared at him, thinking of Pop bottles..He didnt even look like he was sorry..So longstory short i blacked out for 30 minutes and woke up to him with a bloody nose and dislocated sholdier..I ended up popping it back into place, bending his nose back into shape and giving him a ride to a local headshop..he brought me a nice bowl, and i eventually glued the claybowl back together..its still here in my collection.

didn't even look sorry? boy...yeah, that deserved an ass kicking. I'm sorry, but if you break my shit, you better at least fucking ACT sorry. That's straight disrespectful

I KNOW!!!Like he sarcasticly said "Im sry.." with a hint of "I dont give a fuck" tone of voice..thats why i like my "Generation" of smokers, I can smoke without worry, and if somthing does happen then i know im covered..Now adays theres these gangsters that are so cocky and arrogent that im fed up with it..this kid was 15..bragging about bein a hustler and about selling fake weed for 15 bucks..Dont get me wrong I did that to another little different Gangster wannabe who was asking for it..And you dont see me bragging about it..

Thats why im glad i spent my birthday walking down the street with 5 other people singing afroman songs together and listening to What i got by sublime in a car singing that song word for word..clapping to the beat..

If you can't get any herb to share at least bring enough cash to pay back your share to whoever is providing. And remember, rounding UP if paying back is always appreciated.

Just think what the other person will be thinking, is a good rule to go by ,

The dealer situation, tell him your getting amuned to his gear has he away that of sticky dank gear about

Just chill... there is always some 1 happy to take your cash ,dont ask nervous questions and sound like a cop if you are or not haha ,Tell them what you want, take it, and go smoke it
Some people cant be annoyed talking they just want $$$$$$

Unless is just normal ,some 1 with some personal that plays the ps3 and donates 5g so he can get pizza and beers then you sit and talk
