I just thought a thread specifically about smoking traditions would be kinda neat. Post what you and your group do that makes your smoking more fun...like any special things you do to get ready, wear, ect. Also list any names you have for your smoking pieces...some get pretty creative. We: -each have our own lighters..and they are each a different color -rotate greens each bowl, and must smoke as many bowls as people present so everybody gets a green (can get expensive...lol) -No one can leave the smoking area (you don't have to keep smoking but out of respect you should hang around untill everyone is done) untill the last hit has been taken. -we rotate who picks the munchie restaurant/snack (olive garden is the best stoned out of you mind ) Me: -I always wear my tie-dye peace bandanna (good vibes headband as we know it by because it lets the bad vibes out and keeps the good one's flowing) -Always, 365 days a year, 24 hrs a day wear my purple glasses (rectangle framed good vibe perscription glasses) -I must listen to Phish's "Sample In A Jar" every time I smoke and light a hit all the way through the pinicale of the song (2:20-2:28) Smoking Names -Johnny Cashed (pipe) -Bubbles aka. James Bond(bubbler) -Blue Bomber (bong) -Outta-Sight (bong) -Still havent named my 3ft 10mm glass bong...it's a beauty pics soon..but not sure of the legality of posting pics of bongs and shit. -Finally my best friends pipe Little Shop of Horrors (wooden pipe)
right on!! i love this topic..brings back memories.... -green hit is a MUST -no one smokes a cigarrete in the circle...it taints the air if you know what I mean -olive garden....i thought we were the only ones!!! breadsticks and salad?? oh yeah! -we usually go outside and enjoy the day after we get lifted i.e. ride bikes, play on the beach, take a walk, etc -me and my old roomate would always read some really cool poetry on our porch or jam out some tunes...usually jefferson airplane or johnny cash or bob marley or jimi...anything that lifts us even more -if im alone, i ALWAYS clean house and jam some tunes
that reminds me, whenever I listen to Animals by Floyd I have to take a hit right when he says, "and when you lose control, you're gonna reap just what you sow." the only tradition I have is the PTS: i.e. the Post Toke Smoke.
Thought I'd add this to the topic aswell..any special 4/20 traditions...I know it's a big day so how do you spend you day? -We start by waking up at 420am...and right after smoking we start to cook our 420 feast...now this is usually 4-5 people cooking together in one kitchen stoned very fun and very social. We stay high all day, usually go through 200-300 bucks worth of smoke, also while cooking and watching movies and listening to music all day...then when 420pm comes around we stop cooking (even if your not done) and eat. By now we haven't eaten all day so you stoned, hungry, and usually tired by now...and the meals usually 20 different things from ice cream, steak (for the two who eat meat), pudding...mmm..and the 420 cake..which is usually a big ass pot brownie that we can all share. It's pretty expensive but I don't know of a better way to spend 420 than high, cooking, and with friends. We usually end the day by sitting out in the back yard, playing guitar around a fire, and having a sing along.....420 is what I look forward to all year . And if your in the fl area..or just wanna come on down for 420 drop me a pm and well see you come that magical day...everyone is invited..just be ready to cook, and yes we all do clean together. Seriously if you want to be a part let me know.
Great thread, It really gets you thinking about good times. About traditions, I have been smoking for about 8 years so pot has become "common" to my friends and I meaning we have kind of outgrown traditions and now a days we just light up one after the other, stay up all night listening to music, chatting about everything, laughing very hard through the trip !! I guess the only respected rule is that a person should maintain the passing direction of the joint and not hog it for too long. We are very open minded and pretty much let everyone do what he or she wishes (smoke cigarettes whilst the joint is lit) for example, we make a democratic decision on what to eat after getting high. Sorry if my post is not as rich as the others.
-everyone gets a green hit -no white lighters allowed -no one lights a cigarette until the last hit has been taken
-Always pass to the left. -Never skip a person. -Only skip a person if they helped roll it by donating tobacco, skins or weed. -If a person gets weed for you, it is sometimes expected to give a donation to that person as a thank you. -Never take your own tip, even if you got the other person the weed. -Never take more than your fair share, and make sure EVERYONE gets thier own toke. Names: Charlie Sheen - 3 tokes and then pass it. Whitey - When you fuck yourself up and look white and sick, from far too much smoke.
I'm a junior in high school (keep this is mind) , so these are the rules for me and my friends when we smoke - Smoke any time under any circumstances using whatever paraphenelia you have (a can will work in a dire situation) in any place where you have a good chance of not getting caught. Also, there is no such thing as "I don't feel like smoking." We smoke as much as we can whenever we can. But then again, high schoolers don't have money, so what do you expect, lol.
HAHA!!! man...i remeber being a 16 year old stoner!!!! wow, thanks for the memories!!! Hey, I just realized that I am celebrating my 10th anniversary of tokedom!! Im older and wiser and couldn't be enjoying smokeing anymore than before.
I have some...but I forgot. But seriuosly the little rituals fade away after smoking 24/7 for 16 years. I do smoke a cig after every session. I also never take less than 3 bong-hits.
Always go left, that's about it. We usually also go do outdorsy stuff (not so anymore...cold)... but we would usually smoke out in nature, or smoke at home and then go ride bikes, or walk around campus laughing at things. I do miss the warmer weather, now it just seems to be smoke and watch a movie, listen to music, cook, or jam.
These days I dont really have any smoking traditions, but i used to live in a couple of share houses and some of the things we did. Cook a feed before getting stoned - no accidents 'Shout' rounds of coffees after - (means at some point everyone has to get off their arse to make the coffee) Show respect for whose room your dutchying up or where we are smoking outdoors (no throwing your shit everywhere) At a certain place I lived in we all used to instantly migrate to the front porch afterwards, talking shit and such nothing major
the circle: always pass left never skip someone unless they have had enough if someone else has pitch we must use someone else's pipe, or someone else must pitch also personally: after smoking i listen to as much Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, and Grateful Dead as possible always drink a slurpee afterwards, especially if i'm at school, (even in the winter) always have back up munchies packed incase no one else has any
aaaaaaaaah. makes me also remember good times...and makes me a bit homesick (Im away from home for the year on an exchange trip, but it is really awesome being in Berlin, but ya get homesick from time to time, hehe). But yeah. Traditions... Yeah: -no hogging. -green hit goes to the person whos weed it is, or the person who packed it -music=mandatory -music=ALWAYS good. no SHIT music. that fucks things up. haha -There are four defined smoking places at my house-1.) on my futon, and blow the smoke out the screen door, 2.) Outside my bedroom around the table in a circle/on the hill behind my table 3.) The woods behind my bedroom (house is 1 story, and i have a door that leads out to the woods from my room). 4.) The sunroom. this is usually the winter location since its not outside, and theres a really nice heater you can sit in front of that feels SO AMAZING when youre high. Aaaaaaaaaah good times.
Well hell, I think I've been smokin & tokin a bit over 20 years and I'm guessing my pals and I were never too "traditional" after reading some of the prior posts. Damn.....we're boring stoners! No white lighters?? I'm lost..... <crawls back under rock>
