Marijuana 101

[Mr Ektion]

hey guys, with 4/20 quickly approaching (20 days left! - wicka wicka) I wanted to start a thread on weed tips. If you have any tips then title your thread with the topic and add 101 to the end of it. If someone else posted on something you know more about and you want to further the post call yours 102.

For example!

Ettiquette 101
Always pass the doobie to the left hand side when seshing with 2 or more people. If someone doesn't want any more threaten their masulinity or ability as a weed smoker. Then get them to re-enter "the circle". Phrases like, You can't break the cycle, almost always help.

I'm hoping to see posts on Rolling Doobies 101, blunts 101, types of weed, types of papers 101, buying grinders 101, bong tips 101, etc.

Enjoy!

(PS. DJ Baby Anne will be spinning at CYBER on 4/20!! http://www.fnk.ca/board/showthread.php?t=106742 to see the post!)

For a good doob you need to make sure you're doing 4 things.

#1: busting up your green properly. The more it's busted the better it burns and you'll be able to avoid "running/canoe'ing" or pregnant doobs. use scissors or a grinder wherever possible.

#2: fold your papers like oragami before you start rolling by creasing lines close to the center fold of the paper to give you a rolling guide. This helps distribute the buddah evenly and also helps make your doobs roundness. If you want to roll a cone, simply have your guides in a V shape across the doob.

#3: use good papers. Zig Zag whites and Rizzla Silvers are the industry standard. Rice papers are good because they burn best. I like the Spanish "Smoking Papers" because they come in 1 1/4 size. zig zag blues are a no no.

#4: Add a filter to the end of your flyer by rolling up a club flyer or business card and stick it into the end of your spliff to "filter" out shit from getting into your mouth. you don't make friends with salad. This also helps with air-flo and presentation! It's good to also take your time crimping the opposite end of hte doob (where you light it) if it's packed tightly or twisted poorly you'll get a bad light resulting in wasted weed or runs in your hard work.

I could have sworn I made a thread of this stuff a short while back. It was really good. I'll see if I can find it.

Alternatively, start rubbing the papers together like you're rolling the joint without any weed in it. Then the paper will naturally be parabolic and easy to put the weed into.

Rizla (note the spelling) Silvers actually come in 1 1/4 and King Size as well.

Please for the love of god don't use business cards or flyers. Anything that is inked is just as bad for you as smoking unfiltered. If you want to use something paper with colours on it use something dyed, not inked. Transit transfers are perfect for this (just, uh, don't use the magnetic strip).

great tips so far. I'm all about healthy choices as far as pot smoking goes.

I mostly use a small bong (water pipe) and high grade bud to minimize the harshness of smoke inhalation.

My favourite brand of papers by far are the RAW brand unbleached vegan rolling papers. It's an award winning rolling paper and one should know that
"the safest rolling paper is an unbleached brown paper according to health consultants (ref), and thus RAW would be a choice natural rolling paper for use by smokers."


Rizzla silvers are alright, but I'm not a big fan of zig zag whites. They're a little abrasive.

I'm all about the Zig-Zag whites and I never filter. My solution to the filter issue is to curl the edge if the toking end in all around inside the end of the doobie, leaving a hole to toke through. And for the love of ganja, don't cut the pack of papers for a filter... that's a vital rolling tool right there AND it protects your papers.

It's simple, easy to execute, and it will save you much time and energy by not having to fix a run (or a 'canoe' to you simpletons).

- Always make sure you rotate the doobie at a medium pace as you light it. DO NOT use a zippo.

- Short and quick puffs are key here. You want to puff light, quickly, and rotate. This is to avoid a run from the start.

- As you toke, continue to rotate... just a small turn in between tokes is fine.

- When you pass a joint, the proper etiquette is to hold it in toking position between your thumb and index and extend your index finger as they take it, pushing lightly on the blunt so that the resin sticks to their fingers and the spliff does not drop.

- There are multiple philosophies pertaining to the direction the jay is passed. The two most common practices are "Left Hand Law" and "Right Hand Rule". Several factors override these rules, such as which direction the owner of the fattie is from the person who lights it and who rolled. This all comes down to whom you may be smoking up with.

- My rule of thumb is that the left-handed cigarette isn't done until it burns your fingers, although some people prefer to save the roaches, perhaps as a back-up supply incase they run out, or for ingredients to make oil. Also, some prefer to use roaches to create multiple generation joints, which will be discussed in another lesson.

Awww yeah.

Umm.. hot knives are totally the way to go if you're low on bud. It's quick, efficient, and if you do it right you won't waste any. With a doobie or a bowl, it's constantly burning off between tokes.

Mind you, doobies are best. Bongs are my least favourite these days, but I do enjoy a nice wood pipe.

haha, only people out east do that.

Nah man, I totally roll spliffs like that once in awhile, especially when I'm working. That or I'll throw hash into a rolled cigarette whenever it's around.

[omega_image]

personally, i prefer rizlas or trips

regardless, i think the biggest thing is smoking ettiquete.

- don't just pack yourself a bowl if it's not your weed, ask first.

- as soon as you show up dry, dont auto assume that we're going to smoke right away. let them make the offer to smoke first, if after 20-30 mins theres nothing, then ask.

- small things like fixing the run yourself, making sure its ashed before you pass (esp. indoors), offering the roach, etc, etc

these small things can greatly improve your smoking image from: rookie, to connoisseur.

bongs all the way as for smoking preference.

[tiedye]

It dampens the smell, it saves time having to smoke a joint and then a cigarette, and it preserves weed because I've drastically cut down to very little since I stopped selling and I don't need a whole joint to get high.

edit: for Farrah.

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.

When i smoke with my friends and somebody wants to back out part way through if its a very ocasional smoker and i know he might for real be messed and cant handle it too well i'll let it slide. But if its one of my friends who's more of a veteran then i'll always lay down the law. I dont threaten them or anything. I'll just always say hey man theres rules here, if you gonna start a session you gotta be in the entire session, you can start taking lil bitch tokes until this j or j's are done and that will be fine with me but you must stay in the entire session. After that their always willing to stay.

ditto.

filters make the doob burn too fast, plus i like saving roaches for a huge roach blunt every coupla months. the doob should be rolled tight enough that weed doesnt fly down your throat.

the trippers backpack check list!!!!

-lighter plus a spare
if you need to know what these are for this checklist isnt for you. you must allways bring a spare in an extra pocket in your jacket, you WILL loose your primary one

-ipod/discman
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.

-book
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

-spare stash change
have some change for bus, you dont want to be stranded

-valium/Zanax
helps you calm down if theres a bad trip, mellllllooooowwww

-sunglasses
hide your pupils, its not a fashion statement so dont give yourself away

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

-cellphone+contacts
so you can get more drugs or a taxi

Here's a good one: Don't name drop as many synonyms for "joint" as you can to look cool. More often than not, if you do this you'll look like a tool because you're using terms that technically mean different things.

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

- There are multiple philosophies pertaining to the direction the jay is passed. The two most common practices are "Left Hand Law" and "Right Hand Rule". Several factors override these rules, such as which direction the owner of the fattie is from the person who lights it and who rolled. This all comes down to whom you may be smoking up with.

Plain and simple: Roller's rights. Whoever rolled the goddamn joint(s) gets to decide what to do with it. If they choose to pass it to their significant other to light it up, so be it. If s/he decides to take it into a bathroom and do a mexican/jamaican/hawaiian/carribean/whatever hotbox, so be it. If s/he decides to light up two and pass them in opposing directions, their call.

- My rule of thumb is that the left-handed cigarette isn't done until it burns your fingers, although some people prefer to save the roaches, perhaps as a back-up supply incase they run out, or for ingredients to make oil. Also, some prefer to use roaches to create multiple generation joints, which will be discussed in another lesson.

Mine for this is that the roach belongs to the house. Even if it's my weed and I rolled it. If the people whose place I'm at don't want the roach I might offer to take it or just toss it. Usually if I'm smoking outside somewhere I'll either pocket it or send it off to the gods...
