10 Commandments of smoking MJ

[Moldy Dreads]

If you break someone's piece YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY, many times and immediately offer to take them to the head shop and replace it.

No ifs, ands or butts about this if you want to maintain a friendship. I've had both scenarios happen to me and the people who argue it was half your fault or whatever will never get the full bro treatment again. There is sentimental value to many pieces, aside from the monetary value. Many good hearted toker's who have cash may even excuse it as I've done on several occasions, but on some I demanded full payback because the person was trying to say I passed them the piece, so it was somehow my fault because I took the risk of letting them use it (Fucked up shit). That really pisses me off, take my kindness for weakness, yeah right!

very good marijuana etiquette,


-When someone over here holds the Jay/Blunt for too long and starts talking, we call that talkin' in the mic. No talkin on the mic while your puffin' cuz it's puffin' time. I talk into the mic sometimes, but only when it's my blunt anyways.

-If you are in a car and the box is going well. Don't open the doors or roll down the windows. I have tried kicking people out for this but they just don't get it. If you can't breathe, just say, "sorry guys, I can't hang". We won't invite you next time . Nothing pisses me off more than seeing a good couple blunts in a box go to waste. What is the point of getting the car all stunk without the benefits? -- BRING A DRINK FOOLS!

That's almost as bad as girls who think they are entitled to free bowls.Fella's, if you aren't getting pussy from the deal...weed whores aren't friends.

-You break, you buy, or give me something of equal value. I would return the favor. I have more glass than I know what to do with but still, a real friend would kick me back for something they broke. It's respect, like you shouldn't have to ask. But if my homie who broke it is hurting finacially, I'll give him a break and not be joo. Don't let it slide though. If they forget about it, they probably don't hold your friendship in high regaurd. Being a highass isn't an excuse it's a copout.

-Tobacco in a Jay, let people know, this should really only be done if the bud is not dried properly. Tobacco keeps it lit. Better off just drying the stuff if possible.

- Don't be a slob. Respect the house. Don't mad dog people you don't know for no reason. If you are an idiot, the group should let you know constructively.

-"Party bowls": here is where some people will disagree. When I see a fat fat fat fat bowl about go around, I'm talkin brimmer bowls, There are so many people that just char the fuck out of it, not even bothering to hit a corner or just let the heat from the lighter light it without fire actually touching it. I hate this. Because even if your 3rd in a circle, you are going to be smoking ass. What I prefer to do is let everyone know that instead of packing a fat bowl, I will pack snaps of green for everyone. That way everyone gets a personal green to smoke their way.

I know a bong is suppossed to be a 'cak' catcher but it really makes the bongs dirty. I like having a clean bong every session, at least the water changed, easy to do and keeps ya from looking like a slob.


I don't trip around people anymore but if you find yourself around somebody who is tripping, or is getting real into the weed. Don't fuck with them.

Definitely have to reiterate the one about not buying herb.

Everyone knows a guy or girl who never buys herb and always goes to different people's houses to smoke for free. One day they are at your pad, the next they go to your other friend's house, then they go to someone else's house, and never have any herb to contribute. It's so obvious, and even though that person thinks they are sooo stealth, everyone knows their M.O. Usually these people even have nicknames regarding this fact and they are never cool in anyone's book.

They get avoided often, don't get invited to parties, get loaded up bongloads of leaves or scraps and are usually the butt of many conversations when their name is brought up...
I myself even make a point of asking them after a while where the bud is, just to hear the same old excuse....

"Oh I'm broke or, I have so many bills, I have akid now, yet they have new toys, new cars, own a house, buy alcohol, just overall ridiculous! DON'T BE FREAKING FREELOADER! You will never live down the scorn...

Man, those are some outrageous rules...

Mine are:

1. I'm always grateful - whether I am helping someone out or they are helping me, I'm grateful and I make sure it permeates the schmoke-out.

2. Can I help? I can roll like the experts, make a bowl out of anything and am always ready for to drain the can I'm drinking from and convert it on the spot.

3. Find a compliment. Some people live like pigs (comparatively speaking) but one man's shithole is another man's paradise. There's something in there to compliment.

4. Pay it forward. Never miss the chance to tell another stoner about the kindness some other stoner showed you.

5. Have fun. Pot is supposed to be fun for the younger set and not just medicine. There's a joke in your noggin somewhere, a funny anecdote about pot paranoia. Make everyone say to you, "I wish you were here more often. Next time you're around, please stop in."

That's my rules and I try to stick to them.

Some really cool smoking trends im seeing reflected in the posts..

Its been said alot here but kind generosity is most important imo. Its def. hard to find unless people grow.

another thought is to try to convince as many people as possible to start growing.. literally push them into it (can be security risky but what the heck..) Im talking free rooted cuts and even some nuts to get them started.

"I get high with a little help from my friends" :friends:

It is amazing the support I have been given learning to grow inside. I am Paying It Forward, by sharing rooted cuts. I just tell my friends that another friend gave me a couple of plants and I am too paranoid and can't get out to grow guerilla, blah, blah, blah.

By the time I get through lying to them about where the plants came from, they are usually volunteering to share their future crops from MY clones....heehee....

I doubt I will see a bud at all this fall, but that's not the point! I am trying to teach one friend how to clone from the cuttings I gave them. I showed them a "book I read" and copied it for them.... lol. Pay it forward.

 

[iGro4Me]

I get high.... Styles P.

 

[sound healer]

how about not finishing the bong hit?

I really don't like when someone hands me a bong with stale smoke still in it just cuz they couldn't finish off the hit. You light it, you smoke it. All.

 

[Feyd]

i agree about not fucking w/ people who are buggin out or just being affected veeery strongly by the smoke

nothing worse than a roller coastery, up-high and some dude "bro, hahah, dude, try to spell this word, hahah, dude, okay, okay, what's the capital of beijing. LOLOL DUDE BEIJING IS THE CAPITAL OF CHINA HAHAHA OH MAN THIS KID IS FUCKED"

^^ something to that effect, basically, dont fuck with people who are high, especially if it is their first time. it's just. douche baggery.

 

[arcticsun]

pass to the left or you're uncivilized...!

 

[Moldy Dreads]

Man, those are some outrageous rules...

So you're THAT guy huh? Remind me not to invite you over LOL, I was going to give you positive rep for posting anyway, but it seems you blocked rep... LOL

Excelent tip, I was shown how to grow mine and have since helped 4 or 5 people start theirs..once they start, their eyes are opened..

Another important one is to be careful with what you say and how loud you say it while smoking at someone's house, laughter etc. It's easy to get carried away and get excited after some good herb. I myself do this sometimes, while watching funny movies etc. Be careful not to talk too loud, laugh too loud, discuss herb prices and growing etc. if your friends have small children who may be sleeping, picky neighbors, grumpy wives etc..

Just shows you are caring for your friend's safety, etc

 

[THC123]

Don't blow smoke in someone's face unless it's a person of the opposite sex and you both are ready to get it on...otherwise it could mean a fight. Very rude behavior..

Well if someone is really so booring when stoned , that they are a buzzkill(you know , people who just stare) , i DO blow smoke their faces , so sue me!

 

[FirstTracks]

Well if someone is really so booring when stoned , that they are a buzzkill(you know , people who just stare) , i DO blow smoke their faces , so sue me!

If I'm smoking and I decide to just chill, that's what I'm gonna do.

If someone feels they need to blow smoke in my face intentionally because of this, I'm just going to have to to feel like not smoking them up anymore or letting them touch my piece or lighter...that's if they don't take a hit (not from the bong) or get kicked straight outa the house.

There's no room for assholes when I'm tokin.

So there's the rule outa this:
If you act like an asshole and blow smoke in my face on purpose, kindly exit the building, and don't let the door hit ya on the way out. Watch out for flying objects...

 

[TheCheeseMan]

Dont forget the standard number of hits per smoker.

pipe=1 hit
joint=2 hits
blunt=3 hits

 

[TheCheeseMan]

And for all you outgoing talkative stoners, DONT PARK ON THE GRASS

 

[Stoner4Life]

My 1st Commandment is this:
Never use the word 'marijuana' in reference to cannabis, weed, ganja, etc.......


'Marijuana' was a name invented by the US govt in describing cannabis.

A derogatory "buzz" word used to stigmatize minority cannabis users
and jazz musicians, especially Mexicans. After Hearst Publications lost
hundreds of acres of forest to Mexico Hearst started smearing Mexicans.

The one exception I currently make to this rule is only when discussing
'Medical Marijuana'. If the govt is going to permit its use I'll even stoop
to their level and use th 'M' word.

If you were to look at non govt funded scientific studies the word used
is 'cannabis' almost exclusively; the opposite is then true for studies in
which the word 'marijuana' is used, the US govt likely funded that study.
Most unbiased scientific studies that use cannabis instead of marijuana
lingo usually extoll the positive virtues of cannabis and its rather harm-
less side effects. Studies using marijuana lingo are generally govt funded
and always lay claim to the 'gateway' drug effect & addictions.......

I've had my desk lamp used as an ash tray, my mobile phone, my grinder, even a shoe of mine was used as an ash tray before without my permission. The punishment for breaking this rule should be severe. It's quite a serious problem, depending on who your friends are.

Well i have most of them trained, took 15 years but i got there, the punishment should obviously be crucifiction....if it was good enough for jesus it's good enough for them...nail em up i say

 

[dopeshow]

Commandment #11, and the most important... ENJOY IT!!

So many rules, so little time. You guys are like the UN with all these regulations haha

Man, if you sat a first timer down and told him he needed to read and understand each of these rules before he was allowed to inhale cannabis... damn, I bet he would be like "no thanks sounds way too complicated"

I've never had issues with the ashes problem. I have a ceramic ash tray from high school ceramics class (with the hippy peace symbol and my lame attempt at art hehe) that I have kept around (older than a few ppl here I'm willing to bet) that stays out. If people are over and we are going to smoke a joint or blunt, then the blunt/joint gets placed in the ash tray and it all gets passed... the ash tray is smaller than the palm of your hand, it's just a little thing you can use two or three times then it needs dumped, so it's not awkward or anything... so people can just ash it as they please to their liking and give the next person the same courtesy... I also found you don't have to come out and say "PASS THE ASH TRAY TOO!!!" if you are the host and you do it to the first guy, people are just like oh that's what were doing here okay... and bam, they are house broken

I keep it lax in my household... basic rule is of course he who rolls it, sparks it...

Take more three or four good rips if it's a blunt, I don't care.. it kind of interrupts conversation if everyone is like "puff... puff... okay here you go" "puff puff okay your turn now" "puff puff hey take this..." ... damn, just hit it for a minute and get lifted... this doesn't have to be a 4x100m relay or anything, I'm not interested in setting records here. But, if you've got some major input for the conversation and you're gonna talk for a second then pass the blunt along please, all that smoke wafting into the air is my homegrown! ahhhh!

Joints, bowls, and bongs... rip it good and pass it.... I don't give two shits about smoke left in the chamber, if it's there for me when it's my turn then I consider it a free hit courtesy of the dude who just couldn't clear it... thank you my good man. There's a dude I smoke with occasionally who blows it out of the bong through the stem cause he doesn't like it, that's cool with me I crack jokes about how hard he blows that shit and we laugh and it's not like a toke session ending calamity or anything... but cannabis smoke has thc in it and if there is cannabis smoke in the bong when it gets to me and what we're doing is getting lifted on thc well then I think I'm going to clear the rest of that cannabis smoke then...

Left or right, irrelevant. It all depends who it is and who's there. I will either a) pass to a buddy who I haven't smoked with in a while first b) pass to my brother first or c) pass to whoevers house it is first if I'm not at my place. As long as it goes in a circle, no angel is going to lose their wings you pass it right. Now if you go at it willy nilly and you're passing it zig zag style all over the place then a puppy dies each time you skip rotation so don't do that...

I don't know... it's all just sunk in, second habit by now... these are things I don't even think about when I'm smoking... I'm too laid back and chill when I'm smoking to give two shits about much... golden rule is all we need, treat others how you like to be treated... just be respectful that's all you gotta do...
