First off load your bowl do not use a grinder, break it up with your hands or a shot glass and scissors you dont want the bud finely chopped you want a medium consitency cause when its to fine the weed keeps burning and you waste an unnecessary amount now gently pack that shit down to where when you shake it no weed comes out take your pipe with your left hand hold the mouth piece to yo lips put your left hand thumb on the carb and hold in the palm of your hand now with your right hand use your lighting source if your using a lightner dont hold the lighter down thats how you get that nasty butane taste next inhale gently with your mouth not your lungs this is not a bong if you use your lungs to inhale from a pipe its gonna a kill your throat and b your gonna get weed all in your mouth now pull the mouthful of smoke deep in your lungs like its your last breath of air hold it for 3 secs while your doing this cover your bowl and carb to kill the flame and exhale and repeat until stoned.
