The Proper Etiquette

Pothead Etiquette
1) The person who rolls the joint (no matter whose weed it is) gets to spark up the joint and get first hits.

2) If someone rolls a nice joint, it's good to give the person a compliment on his/her rolling skills.

3) If someone starts hogging the bowl and starts using the excuse that its okay for him/her to bogart it since it's his/her weed, this is definitely not cool. the punishment depends on the quality of the weed and how much he/she put in. (if it was real crappy and he/she was real cheap with it, then you bug on the person and rag on him/her)

4) If someone is too palsy 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.")

5) If someone is so much of a palsy that they blow INTO the pipe/joint 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 his/her stuff)

6) If you smoke with someone in your house, you should let them eat some munchies you may have lying around... don't be cheap with your food, if you have any.

7) If someone who's smoked asks for a sip of your soda, you must give him some, (cotton mouth is not fun).

8) This one goes with numero 7: if you ask for a sip, don't take a large gulp.

9) If smoking from a joint, never put the whole thing in your mouth and get it all sopping wet. It is disgusting and it messes up the joint.

10) If you're smoking from a bong and there is 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 rushhold or 'carb' and take it all yourself)

11) Never bogart.

12) Never bitch about someone else's weed being no good, If you don't like it, then don't smoke it!

13) If a friend gets you high sometime in the future you need to get that friend high

14) Thou shalt not turn down a smoke. Ever!

15) Phrased in the form of a narrative: My buddy and I are sitting around smoking the weed that I just scored. After flaming-up, and taking a few moderate puffs, I pass it on. The sounds that follow can only be described as vacuum-like. After an a couple of huge, lung-busting tokes, the guy passes back the remnants of something that could have, at some point, been a joint. If it's not completely "canoed", then it's absolutely soaked. I not-so-subtly drop that old Cheech & Chong line "Hey man, can I wring it out for you?" He just looks at me.

16) I have noticed the following: After smoking-up, the odd "crass-monkey" some people will actually eat the stained, disgusting roach. This must be because they want that "extra bit" of oil, resin, or whatever is left on the paper. This situation can be compared to the patron of a good restaurant picking up his "as good as empty" plate and licking off the remaining morsels of food. Sure he got that little pool of gravy, but was it really worth it?

17) 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.

18) 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'.

19) The person who fills the bowl is given the opportunity to take the first hit. It doesn't matter who's weed it is.

20) 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.

21) The person who brought the bud picks the music.

22) When using a bong, DON'T blow out the ashes, unless that's what the "homeowner" does.

23) NEVER go to someone's house EXPECTING them to catch you a buzz. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule...

24) If you spill the bong, clean it up! (And don't forget to put water back in!)

25) 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.

26) When smoking multiple bowls, make sure a different person gets the green hit each time.

27)If they ate a mouth of ash, it is ALWAYS customary to start the bowl there.

28)Don't blow your smoke in someone elses face, unless they ask you too.

29) DONT SWICH THE ORDER "[size=-1]Pass the dutchie on the left-hand side[/size]"

**)And those who don't like it can eat shit! or smoke with someone else!

 

well, I'm not going to read through all of that, there's a milloin threads like this already, and I know proper etiquette, thank you.

 

i am in no way at all meaning for this comment to be sexist, but i am very impressed that a girl took the time to write that out... it just seems that there arent to many girls that are that into it around here and if they are they are the passive type... i like how you lay down the law..."**)And those who don't like it can eat shit! or smoke with someone else!" All of my friends def have an unspoken etiquette, but never thought of writing about it.. haha... peace

 

sounds like a pot nazi to me...

and I do consider that sexist, slighly dazed... not too cool.

Doesn't anyone have anything GOOD and POSITIVE to say about weed today?

I've noticed that the majority of threads started lately are just compliants

 

thats just way too many rules for smoking. a lot of those things are common sense. but a few of them are on the side of controlling. i just want to smoke and chill with friends, no need for so many damn rules.

just smoke and chill.

 

the only rules have been made into songs like, dont bogart that joint my friend, and pass the dutchie to the left hand side. Those are the only rules you need. hahaha.

 

"Dont Bogart that Joint" is a great great song, because as long as you follow the instructions you'll be in a perpetual state of "Roll[ing] another one just like the last one" =D

I like to reverse the order with new bowlpacks, changes things up a bit.

 

quote; 1) The person who rolls the joint (no matter whose weed it is) gets to spark up the joint and get first hits.

Around where I come from the opposite is true..you should pass it to someone else.

quote; 17) 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.


Thats one way hard drug dealers are better, you can get in and out quickly.

 

quote: ) If someone is so much of a palsy that they blow INTO the pipe/joint 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 his/her stuff

hahah, has someone actually done that?!

 

When my circle first started toking we had a rule if you drop the joint or blunt then u dont smoke anymore(cause most smokin was done in her grandpas truck) but that rule doesnt apply anymore, lol, 1. cause she got her own car, and 2. we are all like potheads now and drop everything.

 

The penalty for dropping the hookah charcoal on my carpet was to start hitting the bowl with a straight lighter.

I need better tongs for that... handling burning hot charcoals after getting ripped out of my mind on the hookah is waaaaaaay too chalenging.

I say if you roll it you spark it =P

 

All those rules are stupid. Having to follow all those rules must ruin the experience. Just smoke with cool people who won't be jerks or leeche and you should be fine. Our only rules are:

You roll/pack it - You get first hit
Everyone smokes, weedless or not
Don't be an asshole

Just common sense stuff.

 

Thanks for yet another etiquette thread! I really enjoyed not reading it

 

i agree with it all excpet, 5 , they should be bitch slapped...

 

your rules suck; i'm glad i don't have to smoke with you and your friends.. jeez...

 

he who packs it passes it. generally to your girl or guy. this ain't a rule, just what i usually do.
don't take the entire green hit for your self.
always pass it to the left because the right is always wrong.
this one time my friend spilt the bong water (just a little bit) so we made him drink the rest of it. we were just joking but he really did it, i'll tell you what he was fuckin ripped

 

The only rule that my friends and I follow is "get to the point, or pass the joint". If you're gonna tell a long story, dont hold on to the joint/piece while you tell it, or finish it quickly.

 

"get to the point or pass the joint", i like that its pretty good. around here we say "the pipe is not a mic" they both rhyme and pretty much get the same point across, just differnt paraphanilia.

 

how i love eitiquette threads....the only one worth reading was trippin's...funny though i got a pothead etiquette bulletin on my myspace today lol

 

ive seen this before on some other website, i think she just copied and pasted it.
