    Okay, so a little while ago i started smoking... But its always with other people, who are pretty much douchebags, so I'm thinking about starting to smoke on my own. Im very new to this, and I'd like some help, pretty much with weed all around... When I smoke with others I usually just sit in the back, and wait until its my hit..

    So, I know very little, pretty much just a little terminology, and I'm basically just looking for help with getting started on smoking on my own. Any info you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated, umm, some questions to start with I guess (NOT the only things i need/want to know, just very basic stuff off the top of my head, would love plenty of more information about other stuff):

    is anything wrong with smoking seeds? i don't understand why people take the time to pick them out.

    Mids vs Chronic, how to tell the difference, why Chronic is so much better

    What exactly can you tell from smelling weed, and how? People are always like "oh smell this shit, its amazing" but to me, it just smells like weed.

    Can weed/is weed supposed to taste good? or do people say it tastes good just because it might taste better than other weed? to me, it tastes awful...

    What do the color of hairs indicate?

    Most popular (not best necessarily) strains?

    Lots of questions like these, If i think of anything else maybe I'll post up more.

    Thanks for your time, really appreciate any help/advice/tips you guys can give me :)
     
  2. My advice would be too not start smoking everyday or else you'll regret it years from now.
     

  3. yeah, I'm not planning on it, at the moment, i really only smoke once every other week or so, I'm planning on going up more than that, but not everyday. I dont have the money to do that anyways lol
     
  4. weed tastes amazing to me. first hit of some dankity dank out of my bong with ice all the way up the tube...mmm...there are few tastes i enjoy more
     

  5. First of: Seeds are not meant to be smoked... good weed is not suposed to have any. Finding seeds tells you the grower was growing both males and females in the same environment... they don't fuck around with details, all they want is production. So seeds is a sign that your weed may not be the best ever.

    2- Mids=cheaper and less powerful/tasty/smelly than dank or chronic (but you can still find some really nice smelling and tasting mids) , but still nice quality herbs.

    3- Your weed smelling skill will get better and better with experience... that's the only thing I can tell you. You probably haven't came across enough different buds. I'm sure tho if I give you a nug of some dank and a nug of shwag you would see the difference!

    4- Some people like the taste of weed and some others don't, taste is kinda like smell: experience is the key. But one important thing you have to know is that the taste of the smoke is different for every kind of smoking device you're using. A vaporizer will taste like GOD compared to a metal pipe or a joint.

    5- I'm not a master grower or weed scientist but red hairs usualy are sign of a healthy plant... so good shit.

    6- Lots of them... Jack Herer, White Widow, Northern Lights, Big Bud, Purple Kush and so on...

    Hope your a little more enlightened now.:smoke:
     

  6. I strongly disagree with you. SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY!!!:metal:
     

  7. I dont think there's anything wrong with smoking seeds.But you shouldn't smoke a joint with seeds in it because it causes the joint to burn uneven.


    Mids usually look this
    [​IMG]
    And Chronic("Dank" the most used term here jtysk)looks like this
    [​IMG]
    Notice how the dank has more trichomes(crystals lookin things) and has of a dark green color and has red/orange hairs.


    Usual smells that indicate that you some good weed is if it smells fruity,skunky,or spicy or like diesel.


    The weed itself probably wont taste good,but I guess they mean the smell/hit of the smoke you get from either a bong,pipe or whatever your smoking from.


    Good question,I dont know what the color has to do with the weed,but I hear that orange or red hairs on weed is usually a good sign.


    There a list of popular strains
    OG Kush
    Sour D
    White Widow
    Blue Dream
    Trainwreck
     
  8. About the seeds- Ever get a drop of vegetable oil on an electric burner? Didn't smell too good, did it? :p Cannabis seeds are about 1/3 oil.

    The rest is mostly high quality plant seed proteins that will not smell very good while burning- think of burnt beans. Seed don't contain any THC to speak of. Seeds do not improve the flavor or potency of a joint in any way, shape, or form.

    Plus the dang things explode! :eek: I have had many blouses ruined by an unexpected seed flying out of the joint! :( The hot seeds will melt polyester instantly!

    If you want to learn about what cannabis can do for you, besides get you high, click that first link in my sig and just read the titles until something looks interesting. :D


    Granny :wave:
     
  9. Thanks so much for all the replies guys! If you have any other information that could help me out, that would be much appreciated, I think my starter questions have pretty much been answered for me, but I still need tons of help and insight.

    I realize thats kind of a hard thing to ask for, but If theres anything at all that you think might be of use to me just post it, after all, the title is weed 101, just post random stuff about weed, lol.

    (best thing to smoke with, common etiquette, best way/place to store weed, etc etc.)

    Thanks again, so much!
     
  10. You'll learn A LOT from just lurking around this site and Googling what you don't understand. I learned everything from this site and a lot of people in my town consider me a bit of an expert now :smoke:
     
  11. is anything wrong with smoking seeds? i don't understand why people take the time to pick them out.

    Answer - Don't smoke the seeds. They work like popcorn. They can explode. Bad, bad, bad...

    Mids vs Chronic, how to tell the difference, why Chronic is so much better

    Answer - Chronic is better because the thc is more condensed. More condensed means that you smoke less with a greater intensity. More costly + better effect = less weed. Win, win!!

    What exactly can you tell from smelling weed, and how? People are always like "oh smell this shit, its amazing" but to me, it just smells like weed.

    Answer - Well weed is a plant. And what we smoke of the plant is it's bud. The bud is the flower of the plant. Think of weed like the rose of the stoner's world. The stronger the smell the better the flower. The more it stinks means there is a greater concentration of thc. Thc in a plant is stinky! Stinky bud is good bud.

    Can weed/is weed supposed to taste good? or do people say it tastes good just because it might taste better than other weed? to me, it tastes awful...

    Answer - Weed is like beer. Or wine. Or coffee. As with any addictive substance, you can actually crave the taste, smell... or both. I personally don't like the taste, but I LOVE the smell!!

    What do the color of hairs indicate?

    Answer - Again, weed is a plant. Back to the rose. The hairs of colors indicate strain. The strain is the name or the variety or family that the weed belongs to. Purple haze is supposed to be one of the best.

    Most popular (not best necessarily) strains?

    Answer - I like to try anything I can get my hands on. Even if it's just a small amount. I try to sample whatever I can.
     
  12. If you have never smoked an apple, I would highly :)smoke:) suggest you try. It is the simplest way to smoke! Poke a hole through the top of the apple and poke another hole through the side and jam it in until it hits the first hole you made and voila, you have an apple pipe.

    More info on etiquette: When its your turn to hit the bowl, try to corner the bud, don't torch the entire bowl. When hitting a joint its puff puff pass, don't hold onto it for too long or your buddies are gonna get mad haha. If your with someone else when smoking and you both have bud, both of you "match." This means both of you put in half a bowl. Some people think white lighters are bad luck so try to avoid white lighters if you're a superstitious type. As far as stashing your bud, I like to stash it in a deodorant case. Roll up the deodorant stick until it falls off, and then put your bud inside, then put the deodorant stick back on and wind it back down. Not only is this a great hiding spot, it also removes the odor since it will smell like deodorant. If you are ever smoking in your car and you get pulled over by the five 0, eat the bud (if its a joint) and pull out a cig and light it. Now the cops will think the smoke coming from the car is just tobacco smoke.
     
  13. ^ Haha yeah that's the only downside. I've never found that it tastes like it, but the bud definitely starts smelling like deodorant
     
  14. Thanks guys great stuff... Okay so over last night I thought of some more questions, and if someone could answer them that would be awesome!

    What exactly is khief(khief? keef? kheef? idk how the fuck to spell it lol)and how do you get it/ use it etc.

    Whats the best way to calm yourself down? like if I'm in a situation where I'm stoned and not supposed to be, I start getting really paranoid and kinda freak out lol... I know I'm exaggerating and its not nearly as big of a deal as I make it, (especially when I come down and realize how big of a buzzkill i was), but I don't know how to keep myself from doing that.

    does coughing really get you more high? or is that just someone fucking with me? lol

    Whats the penalty rate for possession? (a gram = 15 dollar fine, an ounce = jailtime etc., I know those numbers are most definitely incorrect, just an example lol)

    Easy way to get rid of weed smell in a small area? I used to keep my shit in an old xbox box, havent used it in like a year and it still smells really strong. (i could just throw it away, but I'd like to know if theres a better way for future reference)

    Where do you draw the line as far as where you can smoke at? I mean i hear about people smoking like, at the park in the middle of the day or some shit, but me, I don't think I would smoke outside of my car, or house.

    Favorite Movie/music to watch/listen to stoned?

    Thats it for now I guess, thanks again for all the info, its really helpful and I'm learning a lot :)
     
  15. why? :confused:

    Welcome to GC bro:smoke:

    First off, "kief" is usually collected in a grinder, if you don't know what that is yet I question your stoner friends you smoke with, and their integrity. hahah so basically, kief is the THC crystals, trichomes, that fall off of the buds when grinding/breaking them up. In a 4-piece grinder there is usually a screen on the bottom of the compartment the weed falls into, that screen filters the small crystals through and eventually once you have enough kief, you can top bowls/joints with it, or even add a DROP, maybe even less, of water and can ball it up and smoke straight kief. Or, you can learn to make hash. Basically, you get real high. Real quick.

    Basically, you'll come to a point in smoking and it's a different time for everyone that smoking won't inhibit you from completing daily tasks, being around sober people while high etc it'll just be a way to kick back, relax, ease up and so on. For example for me, I'll take a few tokes and go run my errands, once you hit this point, no matter how high you are you can be totally calm, cool, collected and normal when you need to calm down. (you may still reek like a growroom and look high as FUCK though!) haha

    Well, when you cough you're cutting off oxygen to your brain. Take a big hit, hold it in and hopefully cough your lungs out when you exhale. You won't be getting any "higher" but you'll definitely get lifted off you're feet right there, don't play with doing this though, it's really dangerous. Just take your hits, and if you cough, you cough. Don't let anyone ever tell you "coughing is for bitches ive been smoking so long blah blah"..im a daily smoker for a few years now and big rips still get me going. If you aint chokin, you aint smokin.:smoke:

    Now the laws and such, well that depends on where you're from. Go here and find your state and you'll find everything you need! http://norml.org/

    Simple solution, look in your fridge, find a jar, dump out the contents, wash it. Dry it. New place to put bud that won't reek unless you open it.

    To put this very simply as well, you'll realize over time you can make it a very un-suspicious activity if youre smart about it. Where do I draw the line? It all depends on where I am, the situation etc but to be blunt (haha, funny) I used to walk to my 8am's on campus last year occasionally with a lit doobie in my mouth. I would just leave before the "big rush" of students, sometimes stroll by a professor haha

    And finally, I LOVE music while stoned, I'll literally get into almost anything. But I love listening to Classic Rock, Rap, Reggae and House/Dubstep when I'm lit. My stoned self generally finds himself listening to Kid Cudi, Mac Miller, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Hendrix, Doors, Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, Deadmau5, NOISIA, stuff like that

    And movies, well, Pineapple Express, Grandma's Boy and I Love You, Man are some of my personal favorites to watch high. But basically anything funny or action related is solid.
     

  17. GhostOnTheMoon(poster above me)summed it up pretty well,what he said.



    It sounds like you mean your high a work place,if so try listening to music,its good at calming you down because it distracts you from whatever your paranoid about.It gets your mind off thing especially if it has a good beat or redum.And no one going to suspect your high,they'll just think your jamming to your music.


    It a matter of whether you cough instantly,which mean you just wasted a hit,or you cough after you inhale and absorbed the thc.I personally dont think there's anything wrong with coughing,people usually only bitch a couching when their short on weed and dont want to waste any.



    http://norml.org/


    Any airtight containers,so the smell doesn't leak out.I suggest a small mason jar they're portable and easy to hide.




    I like to smoke in my backyard,walking around my neighborhood with a j and playing in the park across the street(its actually really fun,when your stoned off your ass)

    House music,electro house music,alternative,rock,metal and rap and hip hop.
     
  18. When I was in Jamaica, a local told me when the tourists consume/smoke too much ganja, they give them sugar water.
