    What's it like where you live? I am stickler when it comes to manners and etiquette in smoking circles. I was at Boston freedom fest last year and was digusted by some stupid 13 year old kids manners. Instead of asking us to join our circle, they just shove there hand in expecting free weed without even a hello, please or thank you! It happens at parties too. I love sharing weed, I just like it when people ask first or atleast introduce themeselves before joining a circle!!! WHERE HAS EVERYONES MANNERS GONE? Basically it goes as follows.
    * Circle stays AS IS from first toke, if someone wants to enter they must wait until the next bowl is packed
    *Always pass to the right. ALWAYS.
    *Must stay in the circle until bowl is kicked
    *No switching directions
    *No more than two hits at a time

    It's so simple! But some people just don't have manners. Kids these days!

    The rules differ from place to place. At my residence I follow the rules as follows,

    *ALWAYS pass to the left
    *if you want to join the circle you must at least introduce yourself and such
    *if you need a break from smoking you are skipped and can smoke on your next available toke
    *don't bogart

    Yeah I meet a lot of people with different rules. Some say pass to right, some say pass to left. I personally don't care which way it's passed. If someone wanted to join our circle then that's fine but they should at least introduce themselves (unless you already know them, then it'd fine as long as they aren't frequent moochers...I mean it's cool once in a while but damn, you gotta buy weed too sometimes, haha). Also me and my friend kind of have a rule where everyone needs to sit down before we light up, just kinda lightens the mood and allows for more chill smoking session (But there are situations I understand where people don't want to sit, so it's not really a strict rule).

    I can understand that sitting rule. When people stand up all the time it freaks me out

    - you pass it to the right if your white.

    - no double hitting

    - no switching up directions (unless a new bowl is packed)

    -gotta smoke it till its gone dont puss out

    - no pocketing lighters. if a lighter is pocketed, you play the 'california lighter game' whichis basically everyone emptying their pockets until lost lighter is found.

    thats it.

    these are the rules that i follow for my circle:

    -who over rolls it/packs it, sparks it. they then choose the direction it's passed. if the person who supplies the goods doesn't roll/pack it, they get second hit.
    - if it's a bowl or bong, you get one hit.
    - if it's a joint/blunt, 2 tokes.
    - if you need a break, you are skipped and can take a hit when it gets back to you.
    - NO WHITE LIGHTERS
    - don't get the blunt/joint all wet with your spit.
    - never pass a cashed bowl.
    - no holding the piece and telling a story. tell your story after your hit.
    - no changing directions; no switching seats.

    that's all i can think of right now.

    Man here in boston, me and friends will pitch in for a sack, either its a 10 bag or an ounce, we smoke the whole thing in 1 sitting. We call it the "Tokin Rule" "Smoke it all, or go home."

    Most terrible story I have on this subject goes like this...

    Me and my 2 smoking buddies invited one our other friends over that smokes weed sometimes and thinks he's real cool because we let him smoke sometimes. He has no connections whatsoever to buy his own weed, he never offers to chip in when we're buying a bag, and he smokes weed simply because we do. So we had him over and passed fruity pebbles (my pipe) over to him. He hit it once and got a good hit. He decided to hit it again. Ok I guess I can handle that even though we all only took one hit at a time. So then he lights it up a THIRD time. So i'm like dude are you gonna pass that or what. And he just laughs and lights it up again. I had to grab it out of his hands and he got all pissed and wanted to fuckin throw down with me. Over a couple hits. I was in shock.

    i dont get all huffy about the strict rules. smoking pot is about relaxing and having a good time, so i usually just kind of go with it. some rules that constantly show up are:
    Try not to bogart, but once everyone is high it doesn't matter as much.
    Introduce yourself if you join the circle.
    If someone looks like a newbie smoker, and they don't know how to use the pipe (if they've never used a carb, etc) show them how.
    Person who packs can either have first hit or choose who has first hit (no 'calling' first second etc, i hate that shit)

    that's about it, just basic guidelines.

    yea i know.. its just weed, and some people take that way to far.. my rules (or just things i care bout, not really set in stone) just go as follows..

    -at least try to stay even when it comes to amount of money/weed thrown in, even if it doesnt happen till a week or two later

    -dont niggar lip, its just gross

    -and the most important rule of all, the only one i get really pissed bout, is coughing into a bowl of some really dank weed and then a mad scramble ensues as everyone trys to find all the weed they can

    no one every gets kicked out of a circle when i smoke for a "rude" thing.. only time ive ever had someone leave is when they are so high and cant control themselves to the point of getting me caught, or the point of me pulling my hair out in annoyance (which ever comes first)

    the story bout the dude sitting there taking two hits, then lighting up is really gay.. that dude would never be allowed with my weed again
