-A Field Manual For The War On Drugs-


1- Avoiding being a POW

Always have a stash spot. No matter if it seems futile. It WILL keep you safe. It can be as simple as a cut pocket into a backpack to a power outlet safe. You can keep all your things there and they will be kept safe. Say for some reason you get busted and your stash is taken. But you were not reckless and kept your pipe away. This minimizes casualties and minimizes the trouble you are in. Always maintain a good ol' stasheroo.

Never talk to the authorities. Never admit to illegal activities because even the smallest thing can fuck you. Dont gloat on facebook pages about your weed habit. At school if they try get you to admit something dont. Even if you do something wrong solve it on your own. Admitting something to people that WANT you in trouble will not fix shit.

Be responsible. Dont be reckless and keep your job, studies, social life, etc. going. Dont become a stereo-typical stoney mcpot. Maintain that 3.9 GPA. Hell, try to improve! Cannabis is meant to enhance life. Not to degrade it. Take time to handle your shit. People will respect your decisions much more.

Dont advertise you smoke herb unless you want to be hassled. Keep it on the DL. Walking around a small redneck town, with a bunch of of cops waiting to royally fuck you, wearing a I Smoke Weed t-shirt is no way to get notice. It is better to have a NORML t-shirt and such. It really spreads awareness for the herb.

Eye drops are neccesary. Use them whenever smoking indica's especially. Rhotos are considered one of the best. Visine is good to. Remember to get yourself allergy relief ones or red eye formula. Remember that clear eyes are what wins when someone thinks your high. Many of the soldiers on there side dont know the tools of the trade.





2 - Raising Awareness For The Cause

Want to help raise awareness for something like Prop. 19? Wear a T-Shirt or something. Put posters up. Hell, have rallies in your town. Make sure we get the word out that weed should be legal. But keep your own weed shit on the DL. Remember that a I Got Weed bumper sticker only gets them probable cause, while a Support Proposition 19 bumper sticker raises awareness.

Posters and pamphlets. They are a great way to spread the news. Go to your local walgreens and put some home-made pamphlets in peoples windshield wipers. Put posters on telephone poles. Anywhere you can, spread the word via the written word.

Become a active member in any NORML chapter in your area. Nothing says im helping win TWOD like a NORML membership. Donate generiously, do whatever you can. Frequent there home page for news on the war. It's always important to keep in the know. Miscomunication is the downfall of great armies. Keep it tight and remember to check for news.

Join a online community like GC and be active. Nothing helps the cause like helping the young ones out with the battle. Remember that pawns are just as important as queens!
Help them and don't be nasty. Remember the difference between a noob and a newb.
Post your stash, do whatever. Just be active online and help out your brothers with your knowledge or questions.





3 - Choose your primary and secondary weapons.

Always remember to have spare papers with you. Nothing helps a case of the nothing to smoke out of's like some nice back up Zigs. Only use them in a emergency and remember to keep at least 10 papers on hand. To many times a stoner has been made to suffer by smoking out of a coke bottle.

Remember that all of your pieces have ups and downs. A J can be thrown away but might not get you the highest, but a bong will get you ripped but how the fuck are you supposed to carry that thing around. Always remember this when choosing a piece to use as your weapon of choice.

Remember that those pieces are illegal once used. The slightest tinge of resin can fuck you. Once those pieces are used they are illegal no matter how "clean" you think it is. This can be a major mistake. Dont forget it!

Remember flavor when giving the gift of herb to a firstie. Blunts are harsh and can taste bad to some people. Joints are mainly the way to go for firsties. They get the job done and dont taste half bad. Remember that.





4 - Types of cannabis

Sativa is one of the two main Cannabis types used to get high. It is primarily from moist climates and must be grown in enviroment suitable to its needs. It is considered a head high and a working high. It does not make you very tired but still gives you a nice high. It is looser fluffy buds normally. The leaves of the Cannabis Sativa plant tend to be quite thinner and slimmer then its indica brother. A common form of Cannabis.

Hemp is a form of cannabis. It is unique because it is almost impossible to get high from. The only way one could get high from it is extremely large amounts considering a less than 1% thc level. Yet hemp is just as illegal as its Indica and Sativa brothers. A form of cannabis used for many things such as clothes, food, power, etc. A very important type of cannabis. Still used in some products today. Known as industrial hemp.

Indica is one of the two main Cannabis types used to get high. Thicker leaves then the Sativa. It is found in dryer climates and conserves its water supply because its original home was scarce of moisture. A body high. It makes you want to sit on the couch and eat slim jims and hostess cupcakes till your hearts content. A great form of marijuana for relaxing. Used as a method to cure insomnia. A relaxing high. A common form of Cannabis.

Sensimillia is when marijuana is grown without seeds. It makes it more potent because the plant makes more thc in the attempt of creating seeds. High quality pot.





5 - Growing Pawt

Growing can be quite hard. It is best to get advice from people that know. Order some books on the subject or get advice from a professional or a friend. I personally have never grown. You must take care of the plants and it takes alot of work. But the benefits are not having the risk of going out to buy weed from a dealer, convinience and you save money. Growing should in most be attempted by people that know there way around ganja.

Make sure you have the right materials. Lights, vents, fertilizer whatever are all very important when considering growing marijuana. And make sure to flush your "texas tea" right. And the satisfaction of knowing you just grew your own herb isn't really felt if your weed is shit. Remember to invest in quality seeds.

For more info on growing go to: How To Grow Marijuana
Its full of great tips on growing cannabis.





6 - Purchasing marijuana

So you want to purchase cannabis? Theres a few things you should know about it. Remember that dealers are people to. Do not bother them with countless texts and calls. The usual unspoken rule is 2 calls 1 text. Any more then that can result in said Cannabis Merchant getting pissed off. They could drop you, skimp you, or be a total dick. Remember this.

Barely any cannabis is laced. Most people never run into cannabis laced with other drugs. The only way they do this is to addict you to their product or to fuck with you. I highly doubt your weed is laced. Its probably just a insane bud trip from smoking to much. I have had at least 2 like this. Cannabis is usually not laced.

Know what marijuana looks like. Or you could be picking up some oregano or lettuce. I will post a picture below.





Most marijuana that people buy is not broken up. I have only been sold real broken up weed once and it was low quality weed. Most of the time broken up weed is really fake weed.

Follow the dealers rules. If he says not to call on sundays dont call. Try to stay on the best terms you can with you drug seller. Most times this will benefit you.





7 - Having a fantastic high

Make sure you have entertainment. Whether its conversing with friends, petting a cat, or watching tv its always a good idea to have fun. Enjoy food while high. Some of the worst things you can do while high are argue and get hurt. Try to be in a peaceful situation when planning on smoking marijuana. Video games are great when high. Basically everything is the best while high!

Try doing the things you love to do while sober. Smoke up some sativa and go for a bike ride. Or inhale some indica and read a book. Remember. Weed even makes shitty movies better! Make sure when hanging with friends that these are people who are not assholes to you. That is a major mistake. Try to enjoy your high.





8 - Passing a DT

Most of you wonder how you can cheat a DT. Not very easily. The only real foolproof ways are to tamper with the actual DT itself, substitution and dilution. Tampering with the DT means you have to make the drug test show up positive by tampering with the mechanism. Substitution involves using fake urine to pass your drug test. And finally the most common is dilution.

The best way to dilute your urine is not smoke for as long as possible, excersise, take vitamins, drink tea, drink lots of water, piss a lot and limit to a apple in the morning the day of the DT and nothing else along with 2 bottles of water. Those are the ONLY ways to pass a DT known to man so far.





9 - Stealth Stoning

Stealth Stoning is the Spec Ops of the drug war. This means you are not known by anybody except your merchant and yourself. Its those preppy boys or those parents or whatever who hide it like crazy. Below I will list how to stealth stone.

Dont go flashing your shit around. Telling people you smoke and shit only makes everyone know. You dont even have to tell yourbest friend that you choke a toke. Keep it on the DL. Wear nice clothes, try to seem presentable. Try to keep clean and hygenical also. As I said before use the tips from "Avoiding being a POW". Its really all about just not saying anything. Most of the time no-one expects you to be Mr. Stoney McPot. Just keep it low. Use sploofs, fans, open windows and obviously maintain your Stash.





10 - Fighting The 5-O

Cops can be generous or can royally buttfuck you. It all depends on how you behave. For starters adress them as "Officer". They are a bunch of pretentious pricks (most of them) and love it. Treat them with respect and if caught red handed with a dirty bong in the front of your car admit it. Sometimes the worst they do is break your bong and let you off with a warning. Know your rights and if all they got is the smell of pot they got nothing if you know your shit. I suggest printing one of these: Freedom Card - NORML

They are called "Freedom Cards" and express your rights as a citizen. They can keep you out of jail. Its all about judging whether to use this or give them your bong. Making the right choice can let you go home at night instead of being in the county lock-up.
Remember that.





11- Health Affects Of Cannabis

I hear alot of posts asking about does marijuana do this or that. Im going to list the only side affects of cannabis usage. To many people ask stupid propaganda like does it do this or that. The only health problems associated with cannabis are carcinogens (cancer causing chemicals) from the combusting cannabis associated with smoking it and is not a cause because of the weed but because your inhaling smoke, laziness may insue and poor dietary choices, and it may cause paranioa in some which is caused by a bad enviroment. Cannabis causes very little problems for the human body. Dont let propoganda tell you otherwise. Cannabis has actually been proven to fight tumor cells in one study. Marijuana may cause short term memory loss while under the influence or burning out.






12 - How to judge the quality of cannabis

Quality can be measured my many things when talking about astro turf. It comes down to THC content, ammount of seeds, and the overall look and taste and of course smell and feel. It should feel nice and good when you feel it up. If it breaks up when you squeeze it that could mean some bad buds. Generally seeds are bad because they take away from THC content because the plant uses up THC to make seeds. Try to buy sensimillia. It should look nice and be in bud form. Should show greenery, should taste great and when you lick your lips after smoking it should taste great. Should have a skunky smell to it. Look for crystals on your bud. Sometimes even bad looking bud can be very good but this is rare. Try to follow these guidelines for the quality of your buds when judging the pot. Enjoy.




13 - How to judge the quantity of cannabis

Budz are usually sold in nicks, dimes, dubs, eights, q, halfs, and O's. Nicks really aren't sold anymore. Generally I suggest looking up on the computer your states prices for marijuana. Also check the weight for dubs in your state. My state dubs are 20/gram but your state may be different. If out of the US follow these same tips. Try not to eyeball more then a quarter unless your pretty experienced. The advantage to buying massive quantities (aka buying in bulk) is that you dont have to visit your supplier to often or run out. Enjoy your bud.



14 - Choosing the quantity vs. quality

You can get an eighth of mids for 25? Great! But you can get a gram of dank for 20. Choose the dank! Always choose quality over quantity. The highs are nicer, and you get for less. This is a common known thing to do by seasoned tokers. You get higher for less, better tasting and cleaner high. You dont need to smoke 3 blunts when 1 to the face gets you toasted. Its healthier because you dont inhale as much smoke. Its quality over quantity my friend. A important thing to know.




15 - Music while high

I for one am not a fan of music when im blitzed. I feel it controls the high. I also know someone who listens to deathmetal when high. It all depends on how you enjoy the finer things when stonied. A general rule is relaxing music unless you like something specific. Bad music choices can actually ruin a high. Because remember when smoking Cannabis the setting is what decides if you feel great or feel like shit. Remember to choose your music carefully.





16 - Grinding the ganja

It depends how you want to grind. If by hand heres how it goes, you get a dollar preferably, make a crease so that its folded in half, now in between dump the bud in. Use you fingers to pick apart the whole bud, small stems rip apart with your hands, large stems and seeds throw away, and just rip apart the buds into tiny pieces. Then rip apart those tiny pieces. Then pour the grinded up Mary Jane into your smoking utensil.

If using a grinder, pour the weed in the grinder, twist the grinder back and forth for about a minute or two, then get your grinded up weed out and pour into smoking utensil. Try to get a grinder with a kief catcher so you dont lose any of your precious green.





17- Rollin' it up

I suggest browsing this thread for a step by step way to roll a good ol' J.
Mat369. Perfection in rolling. Guides.

Basically you want to get yourself some quality papers (Zig Zags are highly recommended). Then you want to roll it like a cigarette. Just load up your weed and have the glue face you. Then just roll the paper up. Turn it around, lick it. Then start twisting it at the part where you light it, twist lightly so that the lighting part is closed but the rest is only twisted lightly. Lick a little bit around. Run the lighter around it for about 2 seconds. There you go. A nice J.





18 - How to hit that shit

Alright so when you get down to the smokey smokey, you gots to know how to do it. First of all don't listen to people that say hold it in for a long time. Ghosting is bad for you. The only thing holding it in does is deprive you of oxygen. You are suppose to hold your hits for 6 seconds maximum. Anymore does nothing else. Trust me. Now when you light the blunt or j, make sure not to light it to much on one side (canoe). Rotate it slowly while you light and dont burn up half of it lighting. Corner (light the edge) the bowl also. Inhale, hold, exhale. That's all you have to do. Make sure to get stoned my friend.





19- Hallucinations ON WEED

The only hallucinations possible on cannabis are CEV's (Closed Eye Visuals) and the rare Auditory Hallucination. Don't worry about hallucinations. No one ever jumps out a window on weed. Most of the time young stoners either fake them or have placebo. Just relax and smoke the pot. The anti-weed propaganda spews "hallucinations" when in fact there have never been real hallucinations on buds. Dont believe otherwise. Smoke it up.



20- Smoking Etiquette

To smoke weed you gots to have... STYLE! No but really you need to know how to behave. When passed the J/Blunt do not lip it. Don't slobber it or you will be called out on it. Also dropping the blunt earns you a slap on the hand. When bongin' chongin' don't blow into the bong or water will go everywhere. With pipes same rules apply, the bud will go everywhere. Corner your bowls. No hogging the smoke or chiefing it. Punishments can range from losing a hit to being kick off the blunt so be careful. If you steal someones lighter and they ask for it give it back. Stealing pot is prohibited.
2 hits then pass it unless specified. Clean out your pipes and bongs. No one wants that nasty shit in there. Remember, keep it stylish.

21- Medicinal Cannabis
So you have a medical problem where you would like to apply for Cannabis as a alternative medicine? Well you have work to do. First of all you want to check if your state has medical marijuana laws (check out Norml.com). Then you want to identify your medical problems. Is it something that every state allows MMJ for such as going through chemotherapy or something like ADHD? If it is something accepted everywhere your in luck. Otherwise, like ADHD, you might have to be in a state with a "Any other debilitating illness" category. California is notorious for being the loosest on marijuana laws so there you it will be easiest for you achieve MMJ. You will need a doctor to examine you and see if you qualify. Now, doctors don't prescribe marijuana, they write recommendations. If you achieve a recommendation then go to your nearest trusted caregiver/dispensary and purchase your deserved medicine.

Some of the positive things you get out of being a MMJ patient are: legally allowed to carry your medicine, to grow, to dispense, to buy, having a trusted source of medication, knowing whats in your Cannabis, and many other plus factors that come with being a MMJ patient. No more buying from the black market!





22- T-Breaks

So... what is a t-break? A t-break is a tolerance break. It is designed to decrease your tolerance to a drug. If you smoke alot of weed you most likely take them. They decrease your tolerance and make your high much stronger. Most people take t-breaks in the range of 2 days to a month. People take them because when you use alot of a drug, you build up a tolerance to it's effects. Try it out! I bet it will improve your high.

24- Picking the right Piece

When choosing a piece to buy and smoke with, consider its pro's and con's. Can you smoke inside with it without being detected? Is it liable to break easly? Is it good quality? Is it cost efficient? All these things go into buying a piece to smoke your cannabis out of. Health-wise, and if you are a athlete, you are suggested to buy a vaporizer or make edibles, for these ways of ingesting marijuana cause 0.0% harmful effects. Think of all your options, and which one will work best for you when thinking of investing in your smoke piece.
