Marijuana tastes best when cherished in a community setting; it\u2019s such a great way to meet new friends and strengthen the bond between existing ones. With that said, with\u00a0cannabis<\/a>, like anything that is done in a social setting, there are some rules for stoner etiquette that you should get acquainted with.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve already been around cannabis in social settings for some time, you probably have a good handle on these rules and the very etiquette may seem very natural. Alas, nobody is born an experienced and responsible stoner, so for those of you who enjoy marijuana but aren\u2019t familiar with the etiquette, I\u2019ve gathered some of the most basic \u2018commandments\u2019 each stoner should know pretty well before joining the circle of fellow smokers.<\/p>\n

Although this intro might seem a bit confusing for you, there\u2019s no need to worry; stoner etiquette is simple like a walk in a park, and once you acquire this common knowledge, you\u2019re going to be all good around more experienced cannabis enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

1. Always Bring Some Stash<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s a common proverb<\/a> in the world of social media that says: sharing is caring. And while this sentence is pure gold – because people like to share their green goodies<\/a> with friends – guys who continuously leech off other smokers can be a pain in the neck. Such folks always have money for weed, they consume cannabis like hogs, and yet they never bring anything to the party. Don\u2019t be that type of a guy. If you\u2019re bankrupt or don\u2019t have money for weed, your friends will always give you a hand. But if you can afford to buy some stuff – even in not large quantities – do it; people will appreciate it and you\u2019ll always have their credit.<\/p>\n

2. Don\u2019t Tell Stories While You\u2019re Holding The Joint<\/h2>\n

Weed is popular for its ability to spark bursts of creativity and sometimes, people catch the storytelling vibe and you simply can\u2019t stop them. If you\u2019re the storyteller in your group, I\u2019m sure everyone\u2019s going to be curious as hell of your tales; however, not when you\u2019re holding a joint in your hand. By doing so, you\u2019re forcing people to wait until you come to the final conclusion – and we all know how it is when you\u2019re telling friends a funny multilevel story while baked. Just try to puff-puff-pass it and if you can\u2019t refrain yourself from talking, you can always compliment on your friends\u2019 stash. They will surely be pleased to hear that.<\/p>\n

3. Whoever Rolls The Joint – Sparks It<\/h2>\n

That\u2019s one of the most basic rules of stoner etiquette. Nonetheless, there is one exception to it, which means that you can spark the joint if someone used your stash to roll it. Otherwise, if it\u2019s their stuff, they should light it.<\/p>\n

4. Puff, Puff, Pass<\/h2>\n

When smoking out of a bong or pipe<\/a>, you\u2019re expected to take only one hit before you pass, but when you do it out of a joint or blunt, you usually take a few hits before passing it to the person who\u2019s next in the line. The phrase \u201cpuff, puff, pass\u201d refers to inhaling the smoke two times, but in some communities, people take three or more hits before sharing it with other users.<\/p>\n

5. Remove Seeds and Stems<\/h2>\n

If Monday was a blunt, there would be nothing but stems and seeds inside. Since you don\u2019t want your blunt to look like a typical Monday, always remove and set aside the seeds and stems from your stuff unless you\u2019re growing your own cannabis<\/a>. There\u2019s no need to keep the seeds and stems; that is, of course, when you\u2019re also not willing to process it in any other way, say, for a cup of weed tea when it comes to stems. But if you decide to keep stems and seeds, don\u2019t throw them into the joint or bowl – it will taste bad when burned and will most likely produce pops and sparks, which is one hell of a reason to keep them out of your circle.<\/p>\n

6. If You Can\u2019t Roll a Joint, Admit It<\/h2>\n

It won\u2019t be an overstatement to say that rolling a good joint is close to an art and it takes a lot of practice to master this process. In my life, I\u2019ve seen many gorgeously rolled blunts that burned evenly and pleased the eye at the same tame. But oh boy, have I seen some abominable creatures made of paper, too! And while smoking the first is nothing but a pure pleasure, you cannot say the same about the latter. Not only will a poorly rolled blunt will be the object of rough jokes, but it will result either in wasted weed or something that is completely unsmokable. If you don\u2019t feel like Wiz Khalifa when it comes to rolling joints, let someone else do it for you.<\/p>\n

7. Don\u2019t Slobber On The Joint<\/h2>\n

As much as I enjoy smoking a fat joint from time to time, I don\u2019t like it wet, and to be honest, no one does. There is nothing pleasant – let alone the aesthetic aspects – in tasting someone else\u2019s saliva. Given this, be nice and save your liquids for the pasties, once your salivary glands work at a slower pace. If, for some reason, you can\u2019t help it, then at least wipe your mouth with a tissue before you get in touch with the joint.<\/p>\n

8. Never Blow Smoke In Someone Else\u2019s Face<\/h2>\n

Unless you\u2019re about to shotgun a joint, it\u2019s simply impolite to blow smoke in anyone\u2019s face. Such a rude and inconsiderate behaviour can give rise to bad vibes and make you an unwelcome guest in the circle.<\/p>\n

9. Last Rule of Stoner Etiquette: Make Your Guests Feel Like Home<\/h2>\n

Smoking marijuana in social settings is a particularly enjoyable pastime, but sometimes, it can make some people feel anxious, uncomfortable, or unsure how to behave in the crowd. If there\u2019s a rookie in your smoke circle, don\u2019t judge them. Instead, introduce them to the stoner etiquette and, above all, remind them that they are among friends, not some creepy fraternity.<\/p>\n

In addition, always keep in mind that everyone responds to marijuana in a different way. Thus, how you treat other smokers speaks about your personality. Make sure it\u2019s saying the right things by respecting stoner etiquette during your next social smoking session and always stay positive about the herb!<\/p>\n
