Marijuana 101

Spliffs have time and place and people. Only place spliffs aren't very commonplace I've found is BC. Even Amsterdam is all tobacco-rolled. For reasons of etiquette, don't offer a spliff in the guise of a joint. Just let someone know there's tobacco in it as you're passing to them.

3 - Take a sip of water every time you take a toke , In between tokes , or when you pass the doob over. It helps with the effect of pasties later on :) and prevents you from choking your face off.

However too much can lead to slobber and that's no fun when sharing doobies. Definitely water after the joint though.

4 - If someone is too stoned to continue , guys...really dont force them to smoke. I gotta disagree with the original post of "threaten their masculinity". Nothing is worse than having someone who's all paro and tripping out , killing everyone elses buzz , because they smoked more than they wanted to/could handle. The idea of getting stoned is to relax and enjoy the moment. Not to start tripping out and freaking.

Hah. There is no such thing as too stoned. Only not stoned enough.

5 - when you are done rolling the joint , flatten the end. Dont leave it round at the end and pinch of whatever extra paper is there. I find if you flatten the head of the joint ( so it looks like a cone that could stand freely ) it burns alot more evenly and tends not to canoe.

Twisting actually keeps everything in the end better and burns even more evenly.

6 - if your using a filter , or have a tightly rolled joint. Save the filter or the tip of the joint when your done....alot of oily resin builds up in the filter or at the tip of the joint , and if your quick about it , you can either smear some on the tip of your after joint smoke , or spread it along the inside of a paper for your next joint. If its already hardened , toss it in as batch w/ your next one. Tends to give them a lil bit of a kick.

Um. Ew.

7 - hotknives are rediculous. If you dont have enough pot to smoke a joint , dont waste it by burning it on a knife.

INTRUDER! INTRUDER! THIS PERSON HAS NEVER BEEN TO EAST VAN!

8 - Use your judgement with how many papers you're gonna use to roll. If you have enough pot for a 2 paper , stick your papers together in an L and trim off the excess. Dont roll a one paper into 2 or 3. And dont roll a 2 or 3 paper joint into one.
You dont wanna smoke paper , but you dont wanna smoke a short fat bat. They burn faster than longer , skinnier joints.

Again gonna disagree with you there. Too many east coasters roll up super-pinners. Sometimes I don't wanna wait forever to smoke a little weed. You must appreciate the joy of the PHATTIE.

Your Ontario is showing.

Oh, and feeling so stoned you don't want to get up and pick up the remote or whatever? Use the force.

Follow simple instructions:
1. Look directly into the eye of friend close to remote.
2. Wave hand slightly towards the remote
3. Say "You want to hand me that remote". Add an inflection so it sounds like a question.
4. Observe and the remote magically levitates into your hand.

The Jedi Mind Trick is also very useful if you feel like you no longer wish to partake in a joint/bong/pipe/whatever. Just wave your hand slightly and say "I'm good" and observe with care how it passes you by.

NOTE: Remember, the Jedi Mind Trick is not 100% and only works on the weak-willed. You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't pick your friend's nose. Or something like that.

something to do if your trippin' hard or you dont want to talk to people on the bus or the street, headphones seem to create a barrier from the outside world, a protective bubble.

if music trips you out too much i suggest a book such as "Tropic of Capricorn" its a good read and it will make you look cool =D

-a deck of cards
another thing to take your mind off your glowing hands, shuffle split and even perform card tricks on yourself. makes you look like your doing something

-water
your mouth will be dry, it is gross, drink water to feel better and not gross. water is actually good for you and cleans the system. word

-something caffinated
after a while you get all spaced out and tired, drink some tea and not coffee. coffee has alot of alkahoids in and they will make you more tired after a while. tea is good

-vitamin C
i take vitamin c, it also makes hangover less brutal

-gum
its either gum of your lip, your choice

-money
you need money for taxi's, beer and more drugs

-nose spray
too much coke and speed will makeyour nose hurt

If you're celebrating 4:20 with friends... be sure to have some pizza pre-ordered, or some carrots and dip to snack on.

Also, tons and tons of fruity liquids (OJ, Apple juice...)

And, of course, a good selection of movies/TV shows to dig through... Half Baked, South Park, any Pauley Shore movie etc...

~~

Sadly, I will not be in celebration this year, as my mother will be visiting and staying with me. First year missing 4:20 in almost 10 years... ouch.

Have a good one all!

Sooo... let's say you're stoned and you're about to meet up with someone who's not supposed to know you're stoned! How do you cover up?

EYES - Visine all the way. Helps remove the redness and a little of the chinky eye. But thing to do is to not smoke too large a doob because visine only does so much.

HANDS - Don't forget to wash your paws. Most of the time the stank of the roach or doob stays on your finger tips and the smell carries a long way and for a long time.

MOUTH - It's generally your breath that smells the most like pot. When you breath, talk, etc. Brush yo teeth and tongue if you can before you gotta face the heat.

AXE - It's cheap and aerosole. So you can LIGHTLY spray an area infront of you and walk through it to throw the smell off. If you recently hot boxed, this won't help. In fact it will work against you in the short and long run.

The Stash - It's good to keep your weed in a zip lock. But try to keep everything else (all your tools and shit) in an air tight bag as well. Your scissors, grinders, packs of zig zags... they'll all smell slightly so keep your shit together and in plastic or in a container whenever you can. Rubber maid works beautifully.

swisher sweet, no tip, split down the middle, filled with kush...
a pompom works in pinch, but swishers roll much nicer..

Joint: rolled marijuana cigarette.
Spliff: rolled marijuana and tobacco cigarette
Blunt: Marijuana cigarette rolled in tobacco paper

Here's another good one: I just wanted to see if I'd have to resort back to joint before the end of the post.

And if you want to get technical, all of my pointers work for both blunts and spliffs so I'm in the right.

There's a select few of you that need to get over this whole "east coast" / "west coast" thing. BC didnt father the art of smoking pot , so why you guys take this so seriously , I have no idea.
There's no such thing as "its an East coast thing". There are thousands and thousands of people in Ontario (Toronto moreso) that are from every length of the world , INCLUDING BC , and Im sure for everyone of those people that smokes pot , they have their own "style" of smoking.

But for people to insist on saying " Its an East thing " or " its because your from Ontario" or whatever the line is , shows just a bit of ignorance in my eyes.

The only thing I gotta say is , I think you all are missing the overall point of smoking pot and that is to enjoy yourself and enjoy the moment.
All these other "tactics" and "rules" you guys have are just horrible.

Just smoke the fucking pot. Who cares how its done. :p

OK. Fine. it has nothing to do with you being from Ontario. You're just a lousy stoner.

BETTER?

[Mr Ektion]

[quote=tiedye;1860872]Why would anyone need to do that?
[quote]

I dunno. if you go to a movie, or a dinner where you expect to be bored stiff. or if you blaze and then remember you gotta be somewhere, you gotta cover up. it happens.

[tiedye]

I went into my work today for lunch and my boss was bugging me about how baked I looked. I guess I'm just not used to the of idea of being stoned a bad thing. Mind you, I toke with tact these days... not an all day, every day thing like it used to be.

hot knives allowed me to smoke weed heavily through university without breaking my bank account.

in second year, me & three buddies had a backpack with a blowtorch, 4 knives that we knicked from the caf & a couple hooter bottles. we used to hit up some of the parking garages on campus and get so lit up we could barely find our way back to residence.

That's exactly what I mean. I do smoke quite a bit. but i don't when i come to work. however, i'll drive home and find out my parents want to go out to dinner. So I'll shower, throw in the visine, brush my teeth and no one knows the better as long as I'm not a retard in regards to conversation. Which is the second trick which i haven't mastered.

I just told my mother "at least I'm not bitching about what's for dinner or shooting smack, eh?" and that was the end of it. Why live in fear?

It's also resourceful, economical, and much more efficient than smoking a bowl. I used to have a blade kit around at all times.

[ebbomega]

Tip if you've never done blades before:
DON'T USE: Speed
you may think the easiest way to keep the small piece of bud from falling off the knife is to get your blade done as quickly as possible. At best this will make the weed fly off. At worst you'll hit nearby bystanders in the eye with a red-hot knife.
INSTEAD USE: Gravity
Heat up your blades. Then with one blade, press it down slightly on your weed ball and then quickly flip the blade over. your weed ball should stick to the knife and now should be sitting nicely on the bottom blade.
DON'T USE: Pressure
When applying the blades together to produce the smoke, don't just push them together in hopes that this will give you the most efficient burn.
INSTEAD USE: Heat
Remember that what is burning these buds is not the blade itself but the heat coming off the blade. Just lever your other blade gently over the flat one, and let the heat do all the work.

Another tip is that if you're new to it and are paranoid about burning yourself, use a straw to inhale it through. Some people swear by a sawed-in-half pop bottle but I find those bulky and clumsy, not to mention they can start hurting your gums after three or four hoots.

[tiedye]

Then use an ice hooter.

[Cool-Water]

I like to smoke weed when it feels right. But mainly, I prefer to smoke a dub, n if needed, another dub, and another. I mean 420 is in 6 days! pipes without filters n you get shit flying down your throat. Bongs; the smoke goes stale.. Apple is ok haha. But really joints are the smoothest, slow burning, nice tasting way to smoke pot in my opinion. But experimenting with other options is fun too!!

3 Days till CANNABIS DAY!

Concealing 102

When you are smoking a doob at a club or a rave don't hide at the edges of the room. Instead, try to hide in the crowd or where it's busy to hide yourself amongst the people. It's way easier to spot a doob being passed around if you're away from the crowd.

When you smoke try your best to cover the doob. Use your hand to create a pocket and cover the joint or smoke bowing/bending down. Always remember to blow the smoke down to your feet and never take too large a toke. You don't wanna draw heat by coughing or billowing weed smoke clouds.

[Shameless Promo: Baby Anne @ Cyber on 4/20 - More info in Event Forum]

If heat comes by snuff out the doob and throw it in yoru pocket. Don't throw that shit away. You might not get caught, and if you do only 1 person will take the heat. If you drop it everyone takes the blame when they find it on the floor. But you might not get caught. Never keep roaches in your pocket for too long. They smell and will draw attention.

i gotta agree with that... i dont blaze all that much, except special occasions, which usually is hot knifing or something else that gets me retarded. either way, if you're gonna hot knife, an ice hooter is imo absolutely necessary if you dont wanna feel like you just smoked whole a pack of smokes in one puff
