- Okay, I've been asked to post this list. I've compiled the data here from
- a recent alt.drugs [& alt.hemp?] thread. I should probably have left the
- compilation to the threads' originator, but I don't know who (s)he is...
-
- It is unchecked, so there are probably dupes of some "rules". I'm a bit
- *bl0wn* right now [I compiled the list about 5 minutes ago - also bl0wn].
-
- Thanks to the contributors, and could the originator of the thread please
- compile the _official_ list?
-
- Anyway, here goes:
-
- ________________________________________________________________________________
-
- Smoking Etiquette
-
- [the unchecked version]
- ________________________________________________________________________________
-
- 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, its good to give the person a complement
- on his rolling skills...
-
- 3) if someone starts bogarting the bowl and starts using the xcuse that
- its okay forhim to bogart it since it's his weed, this is definetely not cool.
- the punishment depends on the quality 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 :-)
-
- 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 contorl of the lighter
- to someone more able to get it lit. <--this does NOT mean the person who
- lights gets free hits... this priveleige tends to get abused ("hey lemme light
- it for you...")
-
- 5) if someone is so much of a palsy that they blow INTO thebowl and blow
- all the shit on the floor, this person must be ragged on and the person cant
- smoke on the next round (unless it was his stuff)
-
- 6) if you smoke with someone in your house, you should let them eat some
- munchy food you may have lying around.. don't be cheap withyou food if you
- have food...
-
- 7) if someone who'se smoked asks for a sip of your soda, you must give him
- some.. (drymouth is not fun)
-
- 8) converse of (7): if you ask for a sip, don't take a large gulp
-
- 9) if smoking froma bong or a joint, never put the whole thing in your
- mouth and get it all sopping wet.. its disgusting and it messed up the joint.
-
- 10) if your smoking from a bong and these not enough in thebowl for a whole
- other hit, you should save the smoke in the chamber for the next person..(dont
- 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 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. Never!
-
- 15) phrased in the form of a narrative:
- OK. 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" will actually eat the stained, disgusting roach. This must
- be because they want that "extra bit" of oil, resin, or whatever's
- 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 bowl 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 littly
- annoying.
-
- 21) The person who brought the bud picks the music.
-
- 22) When using a bong, don't slobber all over it.
-
- 23) Again, when using a bong, DON'T blow out the ashes, unless that's what
- the "homeowner" does.
-
- 24) NEVER go to someone's house EXPECTING them to catch you a buzz. Of
- course, there are exceptions to this rule...
-
- 25) If you spill the bong, clean it up! (And don't forget to put water
- back in it!!)
-
- roach rules
- ------------
- 1) when the roach gets too small, if someone hasa problem with it, it is
- common curtesy here to put the roach in a bowl and finish it that way..
- that way the people who don't mind burjing their fingers dont get it all.
-
- ===[text]===
- Hmm, among everyone i know who used to smoke the stuff, there was a
- tradition of roller's privellege. whoever rolled the joint, got to light
- it and take the first puff. then it just got passed on. great fun when
- several were started at once and someone passed it the opposite direction
- to the others after lighting it....
-
- [next]
-
- Around here, if the group is smoking out of a bowl (e.g. pipe or bong),
- the packer of the bowl (and usually the owner of the bag) gives
- it to the next person to spark up. However, if someone rolls a joint
- (again, usu. the owner of the bag), that person gets to spark it up.
- (I guess because it takes more effort to roll a joint, and they
- "deserve(?)" to light up the masterpiece.)
-
- [next]
-
- I always thought that if you were buying from a FOAF, it was polite for them to
- roll a joint and smoke it with you before you buy, kind of like a sample.
