GrassCity's Un-Official Toker's Etiquette

Who takes first hit?
Whoever is providing
Two hits and pass?
I would say only on joints/blunts. a bowl should be one hit pass.

 

01a. Who takes the first hit?
Usually its a heirarchy,
1. who hasn't smoked that day
2. ladies first
3. provider (provider has option of gifting greens to someone else)
4. rock paper scissors
02a. Two hits then pass?
Only if the first hit was weak, happens sometimes.
With a bong, if you didn't clear it the first time, finish it.
With a pipe, 1 hit, pass it.
Joints/blunts is puff puff pass.

 

hierarchy is true in my house hold when ppl come and hang.

Usually follow "roller privilege" tho... roller get to spark that shit up and rotation goes to "left"

Don't be a fucking "MOOCH" put "in" something like 5 bucks, food, drinks, maybe show up with some blunts and ARIZONAS their only a dollar each.

Don't make a habit of being empty handed. Respect the owners request and house.

The excuse "dude I was fucking high...." applies to nothing. Being high is no excuse for being a retard....

 

Know you're limits, if you smoke mids on occasion don't smoke a blunt of chronic

Smoke you're buddies out, but feel free to smoke your personal

Don't be the obnoxious stoned asshole at Wendy's yelling cuss words and talking about drugs.

Wash your hands before hitting the pipe or breaking up bud

Don't take a fat rip if you're not even gonna inhale it

 

Don't sit there holding the pipe hostage while you ramble on about some BS. Pass that shit over here!

 

haha TRUE!!

My fucking wifey does that shit.... comes home from work and rambles about customers lol
But she is the exception

 

Ok, hope this helps, here we go. Use it as you wish

Soo, you want to smoke in a group and yet not embarass yourself? Youre a noob toker but don't want to seem so in front of your peers? Fear not, cause there is always a solution

Now all the rules are extremely general and varied depending on area where you live and what group of people you hang out with. Some groups exercise the puff puff pass rule, others absolutely don't care how long do you hold the joint. The example is just to give you a taste, since there is no "general marijuana guide". Sort of like trying to describe how people drink alcohol. It varies

1.0)WEED in general
Weed is a name for marijuana plant's bud. Many new smokers think that the hemp leaf is the part that is smoked, which is not entirely correct. Sometimes the leaf is smoked but most often it is the flowering part of the plant, in raw term the "fruit" of cannabis plant. It is usually dense and smells distinctively, even though weed smells depend on the strain
1.1 Weed types
weed is classified by terms, most important of which are
Schwag: Shitty Mexican brick weed, horrible, brown and rots your lungs with very little high
Regs: Better than Schwag. Somewhere in the lower medium specter of availible weed. Good for first time smokers, but not advised to smoke if alternatives are present
Mids: The golden middle, this weed is what most of you will think is "dank" and "fire" b4 you try the real shit. Mids are good and cheap. Mind you mids can sometimes be "dank"(meaning moist which is a sign of good weed) and still have a shitty high. It all depends
Dank, Fire: Now this is the shiiiit. King of Kings, this is what the guys in "seasoned tokers" talk about. Extremely strong and potent and absolutely riddled with crystals. It is rare that people new to smoking start with dank, but don't do that, cause it takes away the process of discovering better weed which is awesome

1.2 Where do i get "The WEED"???
Now since weed is illegal in most parts of the world, you can not get it that easily. Some of you will have an extremely hard time finding a dealer or a friend, others will get realize that getting weed in their area is easier than alcahol/ciggaretes from a store, because of the wide availibility.
Find a connect, ask your friends, dont seem desperate tho, cause its bad. When you meet with the connect (hopefully you will get to this stage) have a friend with you, a friend you trust. Buy small amounts at first, in order to be protected from shitty weed.

1.3 What next??????
Grind it up, use your hands, fingers or scissors or a grinder (i doubt most of new users will have random grinders lying around but nontheless) don't leave pieces lying around, be discreet

now the main part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ETIQUETTE!!!

How to behave in a group of people?
Behave normally. First and foremost, don't come up with a fake background and say that you are professional smoker and you smoked for 435245 years and your weed is the OG DRE KUSH SAGE SATIVA BOMB HAZE, cause stoners have poserbullshit detectors. They will figure you out and just think that youre a dumb retard. Admit that you never tried weed before, they might crack a joke or two, but thats about it. If you don't understand some concepts, ask them. Don't hold onto a joint or a pipe for too long, take your hit or two and pass it on. Don't green out!!!!INHALE THE SMOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is perhaps the most important point that every stoner group supports: INHALE INHALE INHALE, but there is no need to ghost hits (holding them in for a long time)
just so you know Joint: marijuana cigarette
Spliff: Marijuana cigarette with tobacco inside
Roach: A piece of joint left after smoking, the tip which you hold, or it might be cardboard roll (my preffered way of smoking a joint) which directs the smoke and gives something to hold on to
Blunt: Cigar, which is emptied out and filled with weed
Pipes, Bongs, spoons, bubblers: Different paraphernalia. If you want to know more, research them, or just ask your friends, since there is NOTHING wrong with asking

Avoid stupid conversations such as: AM I HIGH? WILL I GET HIGH? HOW HIGH AM I? believe me, you will know when you get high. Its an unmistakable feeling. Buy eyedrops. Know how to put eyedrops in your eyes (you can put the bottle next to your cornea and squeezing the liquid on the corner of your eye next to your nose, allowing the drops to flow into the eyes, without the painful anticipation of shit falling in your eyeballs).
Knowledge how to roll joints and blunts will come eventually
Don't advertise your weed habit. We live in a society, which does not accept marijuana as a good thing, so don't advertise your habits, as much as you want to be cool and wear a "I<3WEED" T-Shirt in front of your friends to let them know that youre badcore, don't do it

Soooo, this is a loooong loooong guide, but i guess this is what happens when you are dry : (
three main points
1) If you don't know whether to pass the joint or take another hit, ASK!
2) Do not pretend to be a badass hardcore smoker toker who knows his shit, when you don't know the difference between carb and a slider
3)Keep your shit on DL! don't advertise, the less people know about it the better
OP, you can use this however you like, cutting it editing it and other BS.
Have a nice day, enjoy your herb if you have any

 

hell ya @ bringin some blunts & teas.. that's how it goes with my crew!

 

after hittin the bong dont forget to pass the lighter!

 

okay with the first two questions, i can say that i mostly agree. i think that whoever provides it should spark it, or pass that right to whoever they choose. the circle starts from there. i always seem to be walking with people whenever we smoke joints, and i almsost always pass it to my best friend, and it goes from there. say we're in a group of 3 people, and i've rolled 3 joints. my rule is that everybody gets to light one up, so nobody feels left out or whatever. it then follows the pre established rotation wherever it left off. and joints are one (or two, if the first isn't great) hits, then pass. i usually take an extra little hit on a joint if im with my friend and roommate, but i really dont feel that bad cause i've been smoking them up basically whenever they want all quarter without asking for shit in return. with bowls, i say 1 hit, pass.

a couple others that i've heard and learned from places (including GC) are:
1. Corner the bowl. no reason everybody shouldn't get some greens.
2. If you get to light the blunt/joint/bowl and feel like being a cool person, offer it to somebody else. not saying do this every time, but its kinda like holding a door open for somebody. it doesn't really make a HUGE difference in the long run, but it may mean a lot to whoever you pass the hit to. respect and kindness go a long way in my book.
3. Don't steal lighters. its really kind of a dick move to gank sombeody's bic. it may hold a good memory (like..i used this red Bic when we evaded the police/kept mcdonalds open late/did something crazy/whatever). in some circles, whoever lights passes the lighter with the bowl, but most of my friends carry lighters anyway, so its no problem. (side note: if you don't want to hear the old "oh i thought this lighter was mine" excuse, make your bic special. i bought a brown Bic, and i mean like..shit colored brown lol, just so nobody would steal it. who wants a shit colored lighter? me! lol)
4. Be polite. If someone is nice enough to share the bud that they paid good money for, be respectful and be sure to show them that you're greatful. something like "damn, dude, that was a sweet j you rolled" or "that was good shit man, thanks a ton" goes a loooooooong way.
5. DBAD(Don't Be A Dick). this is a huge rule in Humans Vs. Zombies(its a college campus game. look it up, its hella fun) where i come from, and i think it applies to toking as well. whether you are smoking sombody up, or somebody is sharing with you, be respectful as much as possible. we all want to enjoy herb. why fuck with something amazing by letting stupid problems get in the way.

okay everybody, sorry my posts are always a fucking wall of text! lol

and to Cynikal, i think you may have mentioned wanting to start this in a different thread a day or so ago. im psyched to see that you've went through with it! hopefully everybody here on GC can get a little knowledge and share some insight about how we can respect each other, as well as the herb! +rep for sure!

happy toking everyone!

 

1. you pack it, you greens it (unless of course you want someone else to).
2. play marco polo to determine roto.
3. don't fuck up roto.

bowl=1 hit
joint=2 hits
blunt=3-4 hits if you roll it correctly

 

Nose Game Rules my house...
Pass which ever way you wanna go
If you cough you took a good rip
Once a rotating is set, don't fuck it up (we are all stoned and no one wants to think about it)

 

always refil someones water bottle if ya chug it down. Its polite and sucks when ya want a drink and some turd has drank it all and says "man, i aint refilling it, im to high"

Touching shit that aint yours is a no go. I hate it when people come round and touch my weed, grinder, bong and shit. Jus annnnnnoying. I even had to kick a buddy out cos he decided to grind up my weed!!! Not cool

Never bring a friend to smoke if he aint been invited. This aint cool either. If he brings weed or snacks and shit, then its cool. But if hes a mooch, hes gotta go.

Jus cos ya a girl dont mean ya smoke for free either. I had a few chicks thinking cos they had tits, things get given....... WRONG! There like everyone else. I let my gf smoke for free but she always offered to pay. She even brings weed on occassions cos i wont take money off her (live together now like haha good times)

If ypu break it, you bought it. Breaking glassware or anything is not cool. blaming the weed is not cool either. If ya cant keep ya shit together, dont smoke.

Asking around a circle if anyones high is not cool either. Its annoying and not funny.

Cutting conversations is also a invitation stopper. If someones talking, ya dont cut in with something else. Let them finish!

I hate it when new people come to smoke, and after a few tokes they announce "i got the fucking munchies man, i need food" STFU OR GET OUT.

If ya ill, let people kno. I dont wanna be hitting the bong after some dude who has something contagious, this aint cool either.

Dont start complaing about shit if youve been invited somewhere to smoke. People who constantly moan get annoying. In my old smoking circle, we had a thing going. If ya annoying, someone would announce "someone needs a shoe!" and ya get a shoe thrown at ya. This is a hint to get walking, or jus fun to pelt annoying people with shoes haha

My rant/advice over

Stay blazed and green

 

Hell yeah, Im gonna start bringing a bunch of arizonas to my sessions, $1 at cvs or 7/11

 

Really depends.

With a bowl I say 1 hit pass, sometimes 2 if the group is small, which most of the time it is.

We have this thing called 'roller's rights' here, so if somebody rolled a joint for you.. they get some hits on that shit at the start. However when in a group I always do the puff puff pass. Sometimes three toke pass.

With a bong it's usually one or two hits... cream that shit up, empty it and if there is some left, either take it, or if you can't, the next person gets a bonus ;D
