I'm a newbie...I need sumone to take me under their wing!

3 days ago i smoked wy first joint andy IT WAS GREAT...plus it was free...anyway...can sum1 kinda givme a rundown on weed...like a pot 101?
Thanx guys.

 

I'll try.

Marijuana, Mary Jane, Ganja, Grass, Pot, Cannabis - It goes by many names, and you've come to know it over the past three days. So, you're probably wondering why did i get high, well that, my friend, is from THC, say it with me T-H-C. Tetrahyrdacannibinol. There are several ways of consuming marijuana, you've got oral ingestion (magic brownies, salads, bhang, so on and so forth) and your smoking/vaporizing.
Smoking marijuana can be done in a pipe, also called a bowl. There are also bongs, also known as water pipes, which pull the smoke through a liquid, cooling it and removing some of the carcinogenic compounds (this has recently been disputed by NORML however). Then you've got joint and blunts which im sure you're familiar with. Vaporizing is the healthiest way to consume it (as far as smoking goes), because it produces a pure THC vapor, none of the other harmful chemicals that burning the plant matter causes. This is because THC vaporizes at a lower temperature than that of the flame used to burn the plant.
Now, lets get you caught up on some terminology.
Bud - The dried flower buds that are smoked to get you high. This is a general term for any pot that you use.

Dro - Hydroponically grown marijuana, but usually dealers will just label it as piff, haze, chronic, or dro to make you buy it. Because of this, im not going to explain any strains to you.

Seperating the weed - Picking apart the buds with your fingers (or a grinder) to remove the stems. This is because the seeds and stems will pop when smoking and cause headaches in most cases. They also contain a very small amount of thc and aren't necessary. ALWAYS seperate it if you want a good high.

Piece - Device used for smoking marijuana

That's all for now, straight from the ole noggin no copy n paste or anything. Good luck and hope this helps!

 

if you want to get most out of smoking, hold your hit in for anywhere between 10-30 secs, people who just blow it right back out after inhale waist alot of THC absorbtion. A helpful method is to breath in hit, hold, then breath out a little, then back in, repeat till smoke gone, very conservative of pot .

And to minimize chances of gettin caught, specially since 14-Don't smoke in the car (pulled over will be smelled), try and smoke outside when parents asleep at night, dont bring stuff to school, keep normal to low profile, use code words on phone and messages (not just gov. but so many people get caught saying sumthin over phone and parents here or read messages u write), Best not to hide stuff in ur room (if mom or daddy might suspect, and even if they don't remember BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY), Don't be cocky and only tell and discuss with trusted peeps, Watch out for drug testing from school and jobs, buy visine, Don't eat twinkies with your pizza. Enjoy! :jester:

 

10 to 30 seconds is bullshit dude.
Most of the THC is actually "absorbed" (has something to do with cooling down, cant explain it in English) within approximately 3 seconds, after that your lungs cant take any more THC anyway so you blow it out anyway.
No point at all to hold your breath for 30 seconds, unless you want to count a lack of oxygen as a desired effect.

 

I've read 3-10 seconds is best, after 10 seconds though its pointless....though going past 3 seconds is defintely not pointless.

 

Don't breathe back into the bowl.
Don't get caught.
usually, better bud will have many crystals(THC), bright red/orange hairs, and have a very strong odor, when lower grade bud wont have any of those characteristics and is probably the last thing you want to smoke.

you should invest in a decent scale(appx. $25) so you won't be getting ripped off by shady dealers.

on almost every smoking devise excluding vaporizers, joints/blunts and some metal pipes, they have a thing called a carb. on a pipe its that hole on the side of the bowl, or on a bong it's either a hole on the other side of the bong or it will be a glass slider. these are used to take the best hits possible. as your taking the hit and forming the smoke, the carb should be covered, then released when your almost done, which causes air to flow through it and gets the last of the smoke into your lungs.

 

I hold my hits for 10 seconds. It definately gets me more ripped than holding it for 3 or 5.

 

I have found that 10-15 seconds is good for me. If I'm trying to conserve or just taking a few hits, then I hold my breath anywhere from 30-45 sec.

 

uv been a big help thus far...

 

get an altoids tin to hide your shit in, it's small and hides the smell. also, if you have nothing else to smoke with, get a water bottle and some tinfoil, melt a hole in the water bottle, put the tinfoil er the hole, press it in to make a bowl, poke some holes, burn a smaller hole for a carb, and suck the smoke out the opening. get visine or, better yet, if you have contacts ask your eye doctor to give you some stuff for contacts, it usually works even better. and make sure you only smoke when you know you have enough time before seeing your parents to sober up a little, it's not good to be giggling and shit around them. happy toking man.

 

Don't act more stoned than you are.

 

bowl:
1. pack
2. light
3. inhale (don't exhale back into the bowl)
4. hold for like 5-7 (atleast i do)
5. exhale
6. repeat if desired

don't act more stoned that you are, as said by class
don't act stoned at all around people you know will bitch out if you are high

have fun and don't get caught

 

Always have back up plan in mind, like an excuse if parents come home early. I got my parents used to incense before i started smoking so they don't find it peculiar. Make sure always have excuse cuz making one up on the fly can be disastrous. Very simple to do and def. saved my ass so many times, mom asked why had lighter in pocket, already had excuse ready, "I always keep a lighter in pocket mom, have friends who smoke and never know when come in handy" be confident, con mans best freind, even if excuse doesnt make much since sometimes, confidense of innocence is a big factor in talking way out of situation.

 

All you need to know about weed:
if you can find headies, buy it
if you can't find headies, buy nugget
if you can't find nugget, buy mids
if you can't find mids, buy whatever you can find

Buy a bong. Smoke from it. Hold it in for 2-3 seconds. Learn how to use the lighter without burning yourself. When smoking alone, light the whole bowl for a huge hit. When smoking with others, it's polite to let everyone take a "green hit" (a hit from the top of the weed), so just light a corner of the bowl.

Don't smoke too much or your memory will go to shit and your tolerance will skyrocket.

Listen to the Beatles and Led Zeppelin after you smoke.

That's about all I can think of.
