Hello my enlightened pals! I think I will enlighten one right now to help me write this!

I grew up in the 60's and it was pot culture to pass a joint. Holding onto it was frowned upon, and in large groups we passed to people we didn't even know.

Can we stop now? Am I terrible for feeling this way?
I hate sharing joints.
First there is the spit factor-some people just don't know how to smoke, they get it all spitty and collapsed, or they toke hard and run the side down ( and then these same individuals will 'do you the favor' of 'repairing' it by running a blob of spit down the side with their finger)

and disease factor - how many times have I caught or passed along some crummy virus ?

Then there are "the talkers"
come on, you know them- the people that take the joint and blab. they take a hit and blab it out without even holding onto it. Blab blab blab, and you're sitting there like, come on! give it back!!!!

My answer is to cut it in half, or roll them their own.
I hate pipes- that is a whole other thread!
I am curious as to how others experience this and where else could I ask but this fine community ??

the solution would be to roll everyone a personal pinner...but i just share most of the time its a family member...i do smoke my morning joint all by myself nobody gets a hit from the first one...peace

You can also get yourself a crutch, a tube of some sort to stick the end of the joint in, so the tube is in your mouth instead of the joint.

I share J's with my girl. but she is a talker and a holder of the J at times. When i pass to her , if she starts talking and just holding it i take the J back from her. She gets mad but i tell her im passingit to her to smoke, not hold and look cool. So she either puffs fast or its yanked out of her hand, period.


she is one of the only people i can smoke with. i dont like smoking with groups of people , strangers or peopel i just met. In past 5 years only people ihave smokes with besides my girl are Sun Sim , weedwrapperman , mr tight eyes and 3legdog. I smoke with growers , that way noone acts stupid or says anything stupid. Regualr smokers think they know everything about pot and say the dumbest shit. Like " i was smoking some purple haze i got from my dealer" or " hydro is the best herb you can get"

Personally, I smoke alone. My pipe, my spit, my responsibility to keep it all clean and hygenic. When guests come around, I have guest pipes. Joints; everyone gets their own. I know my friends well enough to know that I don't want to know what their mouths taste like after 6 beers and a curry.

i use bongs a lot of the time, where your mouth doesnt touch anything. and when i do smoke joints/blunts most people know the etiquette that comes with it, however i dont blaze with a tons of different people. Those whom i do burn with know a thing or two about weed themselves, so its all good.

im with you man.. i personally dont know any other growers or ppl that are educated about cannabis.. so i always end up wiping the liquid from the end of the pipe or drying out the jay.. it isnt rocket science i dont understand why ppl cant keep things dry.

so happy to hear I'm not alone in this! mr nevermind cracked me up- and I appreciate the hygenic use of pipes and such....yea, everyone getting their own is ideal for me.

have to say I agree about smoking pot with amateurs- though it can be sometimes amusing.....is there a thread of funny OD stories?

I have not had the chance to smoke with other growers or folks that know what they are talking about- and am looking forward to doing that come April! I promise not to drool.

In India the Sadhus believe the herb is holy and sacred and that you should never touch your lips to the pipe or joint.This is why they all carry a chillum which is clutched an the hands in a way that you smoke from a hole formed in your hands and not from the pipe itself pretty smart really considering all the diseases that must be present there with em all rubbing dead peoples ashes on themselves and bathing and drinking from the same river they throw the corpses into.
