Area customs and "rules"

I was wondering what kind of "rules", written or unwritten, you all have with your group of friends. I'm especially interested in any "special customs" that you have in your area, or with your group of friends.



For instance, we used to always go on a "dumpster run" to dispose of any evidence (even if we didn't really have any.) We'd usually send 2 people out into the wilderness of suburbia to ninja roll and run around like a spy until they were cold/wet/hot/tired and disposed of the "evidence".



Also, me and a few of my friends would go on "missions" through suburbia. We'd just walk around at night, in a group of about 3-6 and beatbox as we walked through back-yards and paths and shit. Sounds lame, but man was it fun!



Here’s the general protocol (at least with me and my friends), when having a session:





Technicals:

-Bring bud if you have it, buy bud if you can afford it, if not, don't sweat it, because we have a "no man left behind" policy where I come from! (Wisconsin)

-Please and Thank You.

-If you packed it, you spark it.

-Always let someone get enough of a hit (sometimes you fuck up, or the light goes out, or whatever, cut your mates some slack.)

-Never take more than your share.

-Smoke a J over a bowl (J's are more fun, I think).

-If someone rolls a J, commend them for their success (Joints are tricky at first!)

-Don't harp on someone if they aren't smoking that night/don't smoke/are "too high", let them do what they want.





Cerebrals:

-Be respectful and "positive"- I know it sounds like kindergarten, but just being generally kind will make everyone feel happy to be around each other, esp. when stoned. This doesn’t mean you can't crack jokes at each other and stuff, just make sure the atmosphere is of respect and friendly kinship.



-Be as retarded as you feel necessary as long as someone doesn't tell you that you're being to crazy or something- If you're doing something that's annoying or whatever, they'll tell you to chill out. That's fine, everyone can be a little nutty when they're smoking, but as long as everyone just chills if someone isn't sweating their antics it's not a prob.



-Try meditation- a quick 5 min. meditation session ( i know it sounds dopey, but it really sets the mood) will get everyone on the same wave-length.



-Enjoy your senses- you're experiencing a way of interpreting the world that has been tweaking people out for centuries, embrace it! No one is pissed at you or thinking you're being stupid, you're loving life, and that's great!



-Munchies and drinks- self-explanatory



-Music- Background music is best, because it lets everyone talk and make all sorts of crazy ass comments and stories that you'll likely remember for a while. When a song you all sweat a lot comes on, you can crank it, but I personally get annoyed if the music stays up too loud for more than a track or two. The most fun I have high is beat-boxing/free-styling. I know what you're thinking: "I'm white, I *don't* got rhythm, how can *I* make up music on the spot?" Well, it’s easy, you just imitate what you've heard before until it sounds good, and even if it doesn't, you're all high, so it'll be funny! Not much can beat a group beat-box session with people taking turns free-styling!



-Sun sets- Clouds and starts go into this category too. When it comes down to it, the sky is about the coolest thing in the natural world, and every session I try to at least look at it for a good moment and have a mind-orgasm at it's utter sweetness.

I'm from the Madison area of Wisconsin. Post where you're customs are from in your reply.

 

fun

 

me an my friends customs

first we set up "the trum room"(our smoking room)...we cover the floor in pillows and a mattress and beanbag chairs
then we change in to our pajamas/lounge cloths
then we find a movie we want to watch and put it on
then we turn out the lights
and relax and smoke 1 bowl each
we always have a bunch of munchies

its fun cuz its like a "sleepover" at 2:00 in the afternoon

 

man, willy that sounds fun and peaceful.

 

i want to try willys someday was well...

here is my usually custom on weeknights:

-Spark a Bowl
-Play Guitar
-Sleep

nothing special...but its the only real custom i got

 

man, i know what u mean about going on 'missions' xcept my friends call them 'adventures' . they were so much fun when i was younger, we found a cave one time & couldnt remeber where it was the next day.

 

no man left behind is pretty sweet.

 

dude, we should sell wisconsin to the canadians.... That's entirely too polite, i mean fer chrissakes your dealing with pot heads here. Basically the only fast and true rule for smoking here is don't do anything to make me crash...

 

Our smoke session customs/rules:

-Don't show up uninvited
-Bring some bud if you have it
-If you can't make it and are providing bud, call and tell somebody
-If you supply a bowl pack, you get the first hit and pass it to the right
-If you are passed the bowl, take a hit
-Then pass it to your right
-if you don't come without bud 3 times in a row, don't come again without it
-Don't narc on anybody
-don't invite somebody everyone doesn't know
-Have fun!

 

one i always found strange was...if the joint ends on you, you eat the roach.
that was a custom of a friend from salem oregan.

 

nasty man!

I hear what ThickSmoke is saying about finding tight shit out in the woods and never remembering it...

 

- Always to the left
- Green hits rotate everytime its packed up
- You have to supply somthing for the session
- Dont fuck shit up
- 3 hits on blunts
- 2 hits on a joint
- 1 hit on a bowl

 

Only real "custom" 've ever had is that you absolutely cannot ever skip on a turn. I don't really know why I guess just because. Before I was aware of this me and y friend (the first person I ever smoked with) were hot boxing a truck and it was my 3rd time smoking. There was only a little bit of a blunt left and I was really really stoned. He passed it to me and I said "nah man I pass this time." He looked at me and goes"whoa whoa whoa like something had gone terribly wrong, I looked around like someone was outside fixin to open the door or something. He ten punched me on the shoulder and made me hit it like 5 times. Sorta mean but w/e.

 

when I was 15 or so, I always like the second hit, out of a pipe, because it was already cherried, and needed no lighter to gaffe up the taste, the man or woman ( girl or boy really) to my right always got green hit if I packed it, because we always passed the dutchie to the left hand side. And I guess i just enjoyed watching my non pot being able to afford friends struggle to be my right hand man ( or woman). Petty revenge for being the only employed person in my clan.

 

seems weird that you should feel obligated to take a hit. I say, if you feel you're stoned enough, you shouldn't have to toke more.

 

were you responding to me?

 

No, to Inavacuum

 

had me confused......

 

i don't really have any rituals per say, just things that we respect from each other. but there are definitely three laws that i abide by and try to have other people odo also when smoking with me...

"rollsies sparksies", basically saying whoever rolls the blunt or joint is the one who sparks it.

don't hit the blunt more than three times. people say two is the standard, but i like to hit it morew than twice myself, so i allow my smoking partner(s) to do the same.

it's a blunt, not a microphone! if it's one thing that irritates me the most, it's when people like to tell stories while the blunt is in their possession. the blunt is for smoking, not for talking while having it either burn or go out. it slows down the whole getting high process.

 

shit you dont need no rules for toking up with friends, just please, dong spill the bong water!!!!!!!
