Area customs and "rules"

i love that song

 

-- Don't be a mooch. If I/we smoke you up, repay the favor sometime.

-- Like someone said, the blunt is not a microphone. We don't enjoy staring at you holding the thing like it is one, so put it up to your lips and puff.

-- Don't ruin the bake with a cigarette. I'm a cigarette smoker, and I still really hate this one. Especially if you are tryin to bake out a car.

-- Pass it clockwise.

and last

-- Don't fatlip the blunt or joint. If you got some juicy lips, wipe em the fuck off. (Theres another name for this one, but, I didn't know who'd be offended if I used the other word)

 

NW Vegas customs:

-whoevers has bud loads the weed into the bowl, then whoever calls deuce gets the 2nd hit, tray the 3rd, quad the 4th, etc.
-if someone didnt get to hit the weed, it goes to them on greens or deuce (depending on if whoever has the weed wants greens)
-everyone gets a full hit
-if your not paying attention your skipped, unless you catch the person trying to skip you
-if you dont buy that often dont expect to get smoked out that often
-dont slobber on the piece!
-its ok to spill the bong water as long as you clean it up
-spilling another persons weed exempts you from your next hit
-if in a group of 3 or 2, 2 hits is usually the minimum
-laughing and being stupid is encouraged, because its fun!
-water is a necessity
-if only 2 people are smoking then each person only lites their half of the greens

as for what to smoke out of it goes in this order:
foilie<can pipe<metal pipe<joint<glass pipe<blunt<gravity bong<glass water bong

 

U load it you light it.
Always try to throw in.
Leave the drama at the door.
Never force someone to take a hit.(although you may encourage it)
It's puff puff pass.
We don't pay you, so please don't babysit the bowl/j/blunt.
Always notify if the bowl is cashed, no one likes ash in their mouth.
Always say thanks.
If you have no green try to bring something else to contribute.i.e. papers, beer/soda, munchies, etc.
Be Mellow, Have Fun, Be Safe.

 

most important...


no one likes a god damn mooch.


unless your someone i KNOW is gonna pay me back dont mooch my shit.

 

lol well one was back in the summer, we would all be smoking cigs and act like we were in vietnam

 

Well, had a tradition with an old group of friends. It was sort of a litmus test for new people. We'd start this weird vocal music making thing. One person would hum a sound or make a noise then the rest of us would start making weird noises and we'd turn it into this weird vocal composition. Either the new person would join in, just sit there a lil freaked out, or like one guy did freak out and end up running down the road.

The other was if you'd never smoke before we reserved the right to do as many mind screwy things as we could. Like telling a story about alien body snatchers who will claim their next victim by standing up and pointing and making a high pitched noise, then everybody gets up and points at the newbie and makes high pitched noises. All in good fun though.

 

Amen brother, spilt bong water sucks ass.

 

I dont think we have too many.. Most are just common sense.

Whoever packs the bowl, decides who has green hit. (I usually let the host of the house do it.)

If you have weed, try to bring it. If you dont, whatever.

If you smoke all our weed, dont eat all our food.

Dont fuckin steal lighters...

If you're gonna smoke crack or anything else, go outside.

 

Then hes an ass. Plus, if you dont smoke it, thats just more weed for him right? Thats stupid.

 

Me and my friends don't realy have any rules. I guess its just because I hang with chill people. Weve never really talked about it but guess there are understood rules:

-don't be an asshole to someone unless they just did something hilarious

We also always smoke each other up. We don't really keep track, we just smoke whatever we ahve and everyone pitches in.

I really don't like the idea of rules. Maybe, like I said, its just cuz I chill with chill kids but I never really saw a reason for them.

 

1. You are allowed to tlak shit to anyone and everyone as long as its playful without reprocutions, but if you say something out of line then you are gonna get blasted byt he rest of us.
2. do your best to pay your debts to the circle.
3. If you have weed left and someone doesnt, be kind and give them some for a nightcap.
4. if you drop the blunt your not hitting it anymore.
5. like people said-no sttin on the weed
6. if the smoke circle is bigger then 6 people then we split up( accordingly to where all groups have aroudn the same amount of weed)
7. dont steal lighters
8. if you dont have shit to contribute then your pullin the grabNgo up at 7-11.
9. the bowl is not a toy, it is glass so treat it with care, cuz if you break it then your paying for it.
10. no fat lipping, nobody likes a wet joint or blunt.
11. rollers rights.
12. whoever packs the bowl gets to pick the greenhit getter.
13. never yell 5-0 unless they are really there!
14. if someone says shut the fuck up they are not being mean, they are saying someone is coming and we need to tone it down.
15. determine the meet-up spot jsut in case, if we are smoking ina not so secluded area.

 

BudBomb7 has a point, people who yell "cops" as a joke are usually the kind of smokers who haven't actually had to run from cops before. Sure, it's kinda funny afterwards, and it's a story to tell on monday, but while you're running it's not as funny...

 

imho, a lot of these rules are really greedy, and many are extremely conservative too. but its your communities, so i guess your customs have been tested and approved by eachother...
also some of them are just plain sense. but yeh everyone should include plain sense in as much as they can, though sometiems i guess stoned sense overtakes

Anyway, in australia, we smoke cones, which are small bowls (we call a cone-shaped joint a... big joint). a cone is smoked individually. and average sitting usually goes through 2-5 conesper person. 1 gets you stoned. 2 gets you rather stoned and is enough for like a morning session or a day session or jsut after buying weed. more than that is when getting into the smoking like in the evening, or simply when theres lots of weed and your havin a sesh before going out to the city or something. so a person can put as much or as little in their cone as they want, or pass up. no one is obliged to smkoe more, it means everyone else gets what they turn down.

I dont usually smoke with more than three otehr people, often just with one or two people. if someone is doing something they might go 'pack'us' and whoevers nearest to the bong will pack them a cone without complain because its no effort. it doesnt mean you get power over the cone, you do it caus your nice.

whoever buys the weed is the last person to buy food (as in, the person whos spent the least on weed all up is the first person to spend money on food).

if your smoking a joint, its standard to be puff puff give, but when it gets near the bottom we often change to puff give. if its a joint, then you cant stall. but if its a cone in a bong, you can take as long as you want, its your cone, no one else is gonna smoke it. if you dont feel like finnishing a cone you can let someone else finnish it, often the personw ho suplpies the weed.

because i usualyl dont smoke with many people and because i usually supply weed to friends (sell it or buy it for them with their money that is, though i do share my stuff to people at my home), its generally just one person with weed, so that person is the supplier and in general has the control over tehw eed, but that doesnt really mean anything caus were all a family.

if its a person's house, thyey usually supply munchies simply caus theres food lying around (were all teenagers so we live at home with pantries full of food). house rules always apply. you must respect the house and its rules. if theres no smoking inside, you dont smoke inside (while most gorups smoke inside, me and my friends usually prefer smoking outside in the backyard by default). if theres no cigarettes, theres no cigarettes (thats a rule i have in my house - no cigarettes indoors but if windows are open and parents not home or asleep then weed is allowed indoors)

there is one actual rule - no violence. pretend fights and stuff is fine, but anything that phsyically hurts another is prohibited. this is the only rule which, if broken, will lead to exclusion. this applies in all areas of life of course but when sober, some playful fighting is alright but when stoned it can elevate with fear and tenseness

being stupid is not liked in public but theres no actual rule about it.

some people get paranoid easily. while this is not punished or scorned, it is not accepted as alright. if someone has a problem, we try to fix the problem. if they are being irrational we simply ignore them and their worries and when they see that the group is so relaxed they generally forget. my form of paranoia is cautious paranoia, and if i hear sounds i will somtiems pack up the weed n stuff, but im usually the control in a paranoid environment which leaves me with some responsibility someteims and my friends generally understand this, so overall there isnt much problem with that.



in terms of our rituals, its different wherever we are smoking, but at my place i set up some fold out chairs in the backyard and we sit in a circle and relax. i someteims turn my speakers out the window and play music. my room is on the 3rd floor so the music has this really nice live-concert feel to it, like your sitting in an area next to a music festival and you can hear the music clearly but it sounds like its comin from some speakers a distance away, you know?
and being the host, i often make people glasses of water and cook instant noodles (caus thats my specialty, i make them a special way) and when at various people's houses, people can be different sorts of hosts. some of my friends rarely do anything, others fetch toast and stuff you know.
Whoever calls it generally gets the first cone, if no one makes any initial effort to pack their own first.
I usualyl ave a guitar aroun at home too so people like playing it even if they cant, everyone usaulyl gets some pretty awesome sounds out of them lol at some point.

but i think im the nicest host of my firends (so this doesnt apply to all groups in my community, generally only my regular circles) and make sure the session is the most fair and liberal as it can be, while making sure its violence-free.

most of the time its me, tom, and a mutual firned or two, or we introduce eachother to new people. tom and i have been to various places around the city to smoke, but this coming weekend will be the first time weve had a sesh at his place (though well be going to the beach caus police and old people live in his apartment and he doesnt want any trouble, and i dont want him to sketch)

sorry if i sounded a little up myself in saying that im the kindest but im rather stoned and feeling prowd of being nice when so many other people are greedy and impatient and unkind. in the end it everything ive mentioned though boils down to the golden rule.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

as someone mentioned before. it is the first and primary rule in every way of life. if in doubt, this rule is what to live by in general circumstance.

have a nice day

 

shit that was long, i realised i jsut went through like 4 beatles albums lol

anyway i can summarise:

the golden rule
respect the house
respect the weed
respect eachother

 

Wait....what?

 

oops *edits :&

 

You can't get first hit, two times in a row.
Person who pays most or hasn't smoked in the longest gets the first first hit
If you're still coughing either suck it up or skip your turn
First timers don't pay

 

oh yeah add on to mine


16. If someone has been clean or its first time everyone else chips in for a shitload of weed and we get that person HIGH as hell.

i remember my friend had to stay clean almost all summer cuz he was gonna have a surprise physical(/w piss test) for football. the day he got his physical me nad his two step brothers bought a bunch of weed and smoked him out so much he couldnt walk straight.....fun times.
