Smoking Etiquette
Commonly accepted practices
-
Thou shalt not turn down a smoke. Never! This is the definitive
rule to live by!
-
The person who rolls the joint (no matter whose weed it is) gets to
spark up the joint and get first hits...
-
If someone rolls a nice joint, its good to give the person a complement
on his rolling skills...
-
If someone starts bogarting the bowl and starts using the excuse that its
okay for them to bogart it since it's their weed, this is definitely not
cool. The punishment depends on the quality of the weed and how much they
put in. (If it was real crappy and they was real cheap with it, then you
rag on them :-)
-
If someone is too uncoordinated to light the bowl (due to being too
stoned or the person is just a retard :-) then they must relinquish control
of the lighter to someone more able to get it lit. This does not mean
the person who lights gets free hits... this privilege tends to get abused
("hey lemme light it for you...")
-
When it is your turn to hit the joint, take your hit and then pass it
on. I've noticed that some of my friends have a tendancy to tell a story
or something whenever it is their turn and hold on to the joint for a long
time. We call this "Jenning the Joint"
-
If someone is so stoned that they blow into the bowl and blow all
the shit on the floor, this person must be ragged on and the person can't
smoke on the next round (unless it was their stuff)
-
If you smoke with someone in your house, you should let them eat some
of the food you may have lying around. Munchies happen, so
don't be cheap with your food.
-
On the other side of this, always offer to go on a food run, especially
if the person whose house it is got you high.
-
If someone does offer you food, don't totally pig-out on it. They
had to pay for it, and most people have better uses for their money than
buying food for their guests. (Like buying more weed)
-
DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT, while stoned and sucking nitrous
oxide out of a balloon in the presence of two bongs abruptly decide to
stand on your head, as you may topple over, spilling both bongs and getting
bongwater all over the carpet. Trust me on this one !
-
If someone asks for a sip of your drink, you must give them some.. (drymouth
is not fun)
-
Converse of the above: if you ask for a sip, don't take a large gulp
-
If smoking from a bong or a joint, never put the whole thing in your mouth
and get it all sopping wet.. its disgusting and it messes up the joint.
-
If your smoking from a bong and there's not enough in the bowl for a whole
other hit, you should save the smoke in the chamber for the next person..(don't
let go of the carb and take it all yourself)
-
Never bogart
-
Never bitch about someone else's weed being no good! If you don't like
it don't smoke it!
-
If a friend gets you high sometime in the future you need to get that friend
high
-
NEVER, and I repeat NEVER take a shot of bong water, not even on a dare.
It tastes like complete ass and you will more than likely puke from it.
-
If you buy weed from a friend or a friend of a friend, it is polite to
roll a joint, (a small one, if you wish) and smoke with the person who
sells you the stuff.
-
If a person passes on one round DO NOT assume that they are passing
on the next round. I don't know how many times I have passed on one
round (actually this doesn't happen often but when it does...) and on the
next they just a skipped me because I didn't take any on the last.
-
It is very impolite to hand someone an empty bowl, without notifying that
person of it's possible cashed-ness. A proper warning would be 'Here ya
go...I think it might be cashed.'
-
The person who fills the bowl is given the opportunity to take the first
hit. It doesn't matter who's bowl it is.
-
Always remember to thank a person who has gotten you high. I know it
sounds silly, but I know people who never say thanks and it gets a little
annoying.
-
Always ask before lighting a cigarrette, just because you a person lets
you smoke-out in their house does not mean that you can smoke cigarrettes.
I have several friends who smoke-out in their house but don't let people
smoke cigarrettes.
-
If you are smoking with two other people and you are the middle person,
you do not get a hit every time it passses you. Just because you
are in the middle does not allow you extra hits.
-
When using a bong, don't slobber all over it.
-
When you are high, try to be careful about the homeowners stuff.
Being "so high" is not an excuse for breaking stuff.
-
Again, when using a bong, don't blow out the ashes, unless that's what
the "homeowner" does.
-
Never go to someone's house expecting them to get you high.
-
If you spill the bong, clean it up! (And don't forget to put water
back in it!!)
-
When the roach gets too small, if someone has a problem with it, it is
common courtesy here to put the roach in a bowl and finish it that way..
that way the people who don't mind burning their fingers don't get it all.
