INTRODUCTION
Smoking is a great thing. It brings people together and helps them to bond
while they are in a higher state of consciousness. However, certain
unspoken social rules do exist whenever people get together for a good old
an!a sesh. "ftentimes the faux pas of a newbie smoker can unknowingly
ruin everyone else#s high. $or all you know, you may even be the one doing
these annoying things and you don%t even know& If you suddenly find no one
wants to smoke with you anymore, no worries& '( )onsult your an!a
*ti+uette guide and you will be well on your way to developing a certain
modicum of gan!a smoking civility.
THE SOCIAL RULES OF SMOKING
,-. .he person who rolls the !oint/no matter whose weed it is( gets to spark
up the !oint and get first hit.
,0. 1roper gan!a eti+uette will allow each person one full lungful inhalation per
turn. *veryone should get a good hit before they pass it on rotation. .he
toker is also allowed to finish the chamber of smoke/carbed( on a second
breath. If a person doesn#t get a good amount of smoke in a hit because of a
cashed bowl, they#re allowed to smoke first/if going in order( from the new
bowl.
,2. 3on%t pack the bowl after you have packed it twice in a row. Smoking is a
group effort.
,4. 3on%t talk too much. .here is nothing that will blow your high faster than
someone who will not stop talking. *specially if they are complaining about
their problems and bringing up negative bullshit. 5o one wants to hear all that
while they are so high they can touch the sky.
,6. 7atch your lips and wet mouth. If smoking from a !oint8blunt8pipe8bong8
whatever, never put the whole thing in your mouth and get it all sopping wet.
It is disgusting and it messes up the !oint. etting a blunt8!oint8pipe8whatever
that is drenched in saliva after you hit it is one of the worst things you can
possibly do. 7hen other fellow tokers observe this it is a sure sign of a
newbie and also very gross. 3on%t do it.
,9. If someone rolls a nice !oint, it%s good to give the person a complement
on his rolling skills.
,:. If someone starts bogarting the bowl and starts using the excuse that it%s
okay for him to ;ogart it since it#s his weed' this is definitely not cool. .he
punishment depends on the +uality of the weed and how much he put in/if it
was real crappy and he was real cheap with it, then you bug on the person
and rag on him(.
,<. If someone is too palsy to light the bowl/due to being too stoned or the
person is !ust a retard( then they must relin+uish control of the lighter to
someone more able to get it lit. .his does 5". mean the person who lights
gets free hits... this privilege tends to get abused/=hey lemme light it for
you.=(
,>. If someone is so much of a dipshit that they blow I5." the pipe8!oint and
blow all the goods on the floor, this person must be ragged on and the person
can#t smoke on the next round/unless of course it was his stuff(.
,-?. If you smoke with someone in your house, you should let him or her eat
some tasty munchies you may have lying around... @lways be a good
hospitable host' don#t be cheap with your food.
,--. Share your thirst +uenching icy beverages. "utward exposure of this
fine indulgence is !ust too tempting. If someone who has smoked asks for a
sip of your soda, you must give him some/cotton mouth is never fun and
always ruins a good time(.
,-0. .he )onverse of ,--A if you ask for a sip from someone elses fine
drink, don#t take a large chug.
,-2. 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. /3on#t let go of the carb and take it all
yourself. 5ever a cool thing(.
,-4. 5ever bogart.
,-6. 5ever bitch about someone else#s weed being no good. If you don#t like
it then don#t smoke it&
,-9. 3o not be a vibe killer. If everyone is en!oying the current track, do not
get up to change it. $urthermore' the person who supplied the bud picks the
music.
,-:. 7hen passing a blunt @B7@CS ash first. .here is no worse occurrence
over the course of a stoners day than when friends don%t ash and they pass a
blunt to you with a ton of ash on the end that is !ust waiting to fall right onto
your BegaliDe It tEshirt.
,-<. 3o not turn down a smoke. *ver.
,->. 3on%t cough like you are choking on a steelEwool hairball. *veryone
coughs a little bit and that is perfectly "F but if you%re sitting there coughing
up a freaking lung, pass the blunt and go get some water or something.
,0?. 3o not bring up shitty discussion topics, such as selfErighteous religious
fanaticism, stupid drama or boring politics. .here are certain things that you
should and shouldn#t talk about while high.
,0-. If you buy weed from a friend or a friend of a friend, it is polite and
socially acceptable to roll a !oint/a small one, if you wish(, and smoke with the
person who sells you the stuff.
,00. It is very impolite to hand someone an empty bowl, without notifying
that person of its possible cashedEness. @ proper warning would be #Hey here
ya go. I think it might be cashed.#
,02. .ake your hit, let the blunt go and pass it. 1eople are waiting. 7e can
gather round for storytime sure, as long as the blunt is still in rotation G
you#re not animatedly using it as a stage prop to further illustrate your fable.
,04. .he person who fills the bowl is given the opportunity to take the first
hit. It doesn#t matter whose weed it is.
,06. 3on#t constantly ask if everyone is high. Ces, we#re high. 5ow shut up.
,09. @lways say thank you to the person who so generously got you high.
"ftentimes too many people overlook this assuming it is an unspoken bond,
but in reality it !ust looks tacky.
,0:. 7hen using a bong, 5*H*I blow out the ashes unless that is what the
original glass piece owner does.
,0<. 5ever drop in on your comrades expecting someone to catch you a
buDD, unless you have been friends for a very long time. .his is a surefire way
to become #that guy#.
,0>. If you spill the bong, actions speak louder than words. )lean it up,
constantly apologiDing isn#t helping J it happened. ;e cool about it. It#s fine, as
long as it didn#t break. Shit happens. @nd don#t forget to put water back in&
,2?.7hen 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.
,2-. 3on#t roll pinners.
,20. 3o not act like you are not high. If you aren#t high then why are you
over there here wasting everyones weedK
,22. .he opposite of the latter. 3on%t excessively ramble on about how
stoned you are. )omplimenting how dank the kush is is perfectly fine, but it
starts to lose its touch around the 24
th
time.
,22. 3" 5". mess up rotation. *H*I. Cou have to make sure that the blunt
is in constant motion. Loving from one person to the next, seamlessly. 3o
not cause pandemonium and stress amongst the innerEcircle.
,24. If a friend gets you high sometime in the future J your priorities have !ust
shifted' you now need to get that friend high.
,26. 3on#t mess up the dutch. Bearning how to twist up a blunt is something
that you should research and practice on your own dime. If you have big
groups and you attempt to twist up but you mess up the blunt, that%s a huge
fail. If you aren#t confident with how you twist up, then !ust don%t do it.
,29. @lways bring an extra lighter. @ full one.
,2:. 5ever steal8forget it was in your pocket8lose lighters. 7e may be
stoned but we all know you had it last.
,2<. .he bong MandM lighter should be smoothly passed onto the next stoner.
.he veteran stoner will extinguish the bowl so that no bud is wasted for the
next person.
,2>. @ wise bowlEpacker will know that +uantity is not +uality. .he law of
diminishing returns means that after a few good hits additional hits will !ust
waste pot and put people to sleep. 7ait awhile and then offer a =refresher=
bong hit once everyone#s buDD starts to wear off.
,2>. 7hile stoners can be obnoxious, they are all too often labelled as =bad
stoners=. .his unfairly derisive term means that a stoner acts like a weirdo
while stoned. It#s very uncool to blame some stoner#s goofy behaviour on the
fact that he8she#s stoned because it#s too easy to make a stoner selfE
conscious/and that sucks&( It#s way better to allow everyone to en!oy the
herb in their own way and try not be too !udgmental of others. .he best
attitude to have is to relax and en!oy the company and the surroundings. ;ud
is finicky that way E every experienced stoner knows that you should be in a
good mood when stoning.
,4?. 3o not bring other friends around, or yourself, who smoke but don%t
throw in their share of cash. Cou have to contribute if you are going to hit the
blunt.
,4-. 5*H*I pinch the bag. .his is a fersure way to get completely
ostraciDed out of any social circle. Sadly lots of people do it, and yes, even
your good friends.
