Newbies: Learn to conserve your stash!

The most essential thing to consider when taking up smoking weed is knowing how to conserve it. Taking it slow on the stash is the best way to enjoy your smoke.

I guarantee if you follow my instructions, you will enjoy your pot alot more. I fucking guarantee it.

Know when you are "high enough"
Many factors can decide whether you are "high enough", if you are at a party or you have a bunch of friends around, you might want to go on an all out bake session. However, if you are along or just chilling with a few buddies, you might want to think about conserving your stash. Two nicely-rolled J's are more than enough to get a few friends stoned. Or even just a few bowls.
CORNER YOUR BOWLS. Cornering the bowl is an extremely effective method of conserving a dwindling stash. This is done by treating the bowl as four quarters of a circle and only torching 1 quarter of that for yourself, leaving some tasty green for all your buddies.

Avoid the moochers.
This is the worst kind of stoner. Moochers are typically observed as people who hang around little with you (or too much). A moocher will usually never buy their own stash - even if they have the money for it - usually relying on the regular smokers to provide them with their smoke. Now don't get me wrong, it's totally cool to ask a good friend to sort you out once in a while, but don't forget to repay the favour, or you look (and are) a total prick.

Take t-breaks.
Now i know alot of people don't want to hear - or even consider this - but it's important to know when to take tolerance breaks.
Tolerance breaks can last from anywhere between a week to a year and are a great way to improve your enjoyment of the herb. They are also a great money saver and short tolerance breaks can be an excellent way of conserving a dwindling stash. (A nice lump of high-grade hash is a beautiful thing to light up after a week-long tolerance break - trust me i know, i'm chillin after doing that exact thing right this moment).
If you are a young toker, and i know there are alot of you on here, tolerance breaks are the perfect way to ease suspicion in your parents. If you are spotted with a red tinge in your eyes every day of the week they are bound to come down on you like a ton of fucking bricks.

Save up your roaches!
This is a small, but worthwhile, tip. If you don't use rolled up card filters in your joints, or blunts, it is a great idea to save your roaches up in a little bag - the smell of these things can become fairly pungent. When you have enough and you find yourself without a stash or cash, you can roll these little fuckers into a joint or blunt. Although the taste is not the best, you will more than likely get higher this way as the resin from your burned out joints will be abundant, thus leacing you with a beastly j to puff on.

Know how to roll.
To many of you out there, this is the MOST important piece of info you should take from this thread. KNOW HOW TO ROLL. I don't care how you do it, ask your friends, ask some smokers in your school/workplace/neighbourhood, look up rolling tutorials on youtube (TheDailySmoker is a great example - This guy is a pro).
If you are a joint smoker, or if this is your preferred way of smoking, then knowing how to roll that perfect J is essential.
Particularly if you are rolling a J with hash, as many Irish do, a wizards sleeve full of hash rocks will get you ALOT less high than a 'not-too-tight-not-too-lose' J full of nicely powdered hash. It's the same story with weed, making the joint nicely tightened increases the burn time dramatically, allowing for the bud or hash to be burned through and not just merely charred on the outside. Plus, longer burn times mean more people get tokes

Smoke bowls.
I have a small confession to make. Being the stubborn, idealistic and cynical person I am, I originally stated in this guide (it was posted in the forum before, but hastily removed by myself) that smoking joints was essential to conserving your stash. Of course, the more people that disagreed with this statement, the more I stuck to my guns. For providing misinformation, I apologize.
Smoking bowls is without a doubt the way to go if you are looking to conserve a dwindling stockpile. A tightly packed bowl shared with a few friends is a fun, efficient and very, very fast way to getting quite stoned. On your own, it just can't be beaten.
Remember, corner those bowls .



A little tip for you hash smokers out there
Use a cheese grater with small holes in it to finely grate up your block of hash. You will be astonished at how much you get out of a block by doing this. It also 'powders' the hash, making burns a lot more even.

If anybody has any more tips on conserving your stash feel free to add them in your replies!

A final tip- If you haven't heard this tip before, LISTEN. Eat a full, slightly over-ripe mango 30 minutes prior to smoking, TRUST ME, you will notice the difference, and will find yourself far more stoned than usual. Just try it.


I hope you guys benefit from this guide, these methods really do work!

You couldn't possible have read all that, I posted it literally 2 minutes beforehand.
How is eating a ripe mango before smoking common sense?

Also, note how this is in the apprentice tokers forum. Maybe I should change the thread title.

 

Maybe I worded it a little bit ambiguously, but what I meant was that IF you are going to roll, make sure you know how to do it properly.

Thanks for the rep man

Ill edit that bit about rolling when I return from smoking this J
