There are many ways to get high.

First you need weed, that is rather critical.

I suppose the simplest way to get high is via a joint.

all you have to do is break up the weed via cutting or griding then roll it up in a rolling paper.

There is lots of information online, I promise.

It doesn't have to be evil, it doesn't make you stupid and you CAN use it responsibly.

And then get alzheimers (sp?) from smoking aluminum.

Shaggster I recomend you never do that again.

yea dude, smoking on a can is really bad for you.

By the way, DON'T SMOKE POT BECAUSE YOUR FRIENDS DO.

Read up on pot, know what it does to you and the side effects. Make an educated decision

Remember it's not addictive but the high can have addictive qualities. If you decide to smoke don't abuse the drug, use it moderately. Remember too much of anything can be bad for you, except footbag.

Here is a good link you should read before you touch pot:

Aluminium probably does't give you alzheimers*, but a can is still a really aweful way to smoke.

Pot in itself isn't a big deal, if you've been drunk or even on a realy good caffeine high (ahhhh, i remember the days of red bull and hours of video games) you've experienced harder drugs.
That said, pot comes with alot of baggage mainly due to it's legal status but also due to the reefer madness still spouted by many. Seeing as you're located "in the heart of Texas" I assume you'll find alot of people with very warped views of what the effects of marijuana are, you will not be able to reason with these people, they will persecute you. It's sad but true, so watch out, especially if you're young, they can stop you from recieving any financial assistance for colledge.

It's natural to be curious, experiment, but pay attention to where you are and who you're with and definately read the link provided by Seath.

And there's nothing sadder than a 40 year old man getting busted down by the river with a joint. <-- My older brother.

Information: I can say all this cause I was this kid 9 years ago or so. I think i was around 13. I remeber really wanting to try pot, and my friend was actually able to find some. He gave me a little bitty bit wrapped in foil. I was all super excited and stoked that I had it. Felt like james bond or some shit. I seriously had no idea how to go about smoking some, so I took a sheet of alluminum foil and a pen tube and formed a little pipe out of the foil, using the pen as a mold.

It turns out that that sucks balls dood. Dont do that shit for real. It is bad for you for one, and also you can not enjoy the marijuana to the full extent with a shit hole alluminum foil pipe. You probably wont get stoned and the hits will taste like asshole. What you need to do is manage to locate some JB rolling papers, not those sorry ass zig zags. Pretty much any papers you get that ARENT zig zags will be fine. I say this because zig zags are really thin and break easily in the hands of unexperienced rollers. Plus they dont burn even.

Once youve located some good JB rolling papers you will also need your Bud (pot) of course. So now you want to use a plate or some such shit and "break up" the weed on the plate with your hands. You want to grind it up with your hands and get a decent "mix" of broken up weed. Consistency in the size of the broken up weed is key when rolling a joint. Not tooo terribly fine but fine. It doesnt really take long, but its a good time to see how good your weed is by the smell that should be coming out of product. Your hands should get pretty sticky but sometimes not as bad as others.

Now go ahead and get one of those papers out, your 'bout to roll your first joint ombre! Put the paper in one of your hands, with the gum side of the paper on long side farthest from you and facing upwards. The paper should be pre-folded but if not then fold the paper in half long ways to where the gum touches the other side of the paper, then unfold. It should be kinda a v shape now. Take your broken up weed and through a bit inside of the v. You want to lay the weed in the paper very consistently. You do not want more weed in one spot and less in others. Get it nice and consistent and grasp the paper while folding it back in half just the you did earlier, but tighten your thumbs arround the weed and GEBTLY roll it back and forth between your thumb and forfingers to start to make it take a round shape and pack it tighter and keep gently rolling it back and forth until the weed inside of the paper is nice and even and in a nice round shape throughout the entire joint. Now roll the paper down by grasping the paper above the weed while its folded in half. You want it to be like the side with no gum has all the weed in it and the side with gum is longer and begin to tuck the top of the paper (non gummed side up arround the weed inside and begin doing the gentle rolling very carefully make sure that the paper isnt catching on itself or anything and keep rolling slowly gently up until the gum is almost rolled up and then lick the gum all the across and take good care to roll the last part up nice and tight and even, then press down a lil bit on the gum strip to make sure its snug.

Now you have a joint! A joint is the only way I recommend to smoke the grade of weed you will most likely come across being a young person most likely. This grade of weed is shwag. Its fine, but there is better that you will have to try and find at other times which hen you can find it, you will also be able to by a nice glass pipe.

But stick with the joints for now, joints of shwag are awesome man.

Another note: If you do not truely feel you are ready to smoke pot please dont do it. You will know when your ready and it sounds to me like your close.

Be responsible. Dont smoke in the basement. Dont be hanging arround the house all stoned cause your folks WILL be able to smell the ganja on you for a while even if you cant. They are superhuman trust me. Dont let it take control of your life. Its a wonderful thing if done responsibly and in the right settings.

Dont forget to pass it my way...

sandman420 · Post by **sandman420** » 02 Oct 2004 19:23

sorry i forgot a few things:

While smoking the joint you want to inhale the smoke all the wayy into your lungs its like sucking the smoke in twice. You'll figure it out when you start coughing

Thats good. The object here is to hold the smoke in your lungs as long as possible. Prefferebly until you want to cough. But dont wait to cough that can hurt coughing up smoke.

Be conservative with your joints. One joint should be enough to get you stoned arround three maybe four times. With a few friends it should get you all stoned twice. Dont waste it! Save your "roaches" (the butt of the joint) and when you get enough or run out of weed roll up a joint using all your roaches. The resinated weed is more potent!

How to tell if your weed is bunk (fake):

If it doesnt look like this

chances are yours wont look like some of the more crystally ones but should probably be all compressed and fairly stiff. Its hould be dark greenish. It should be mainly "buds" and not to much "shake" (the crappy allready broken up shit, you want to break it up when your gonna use it) and have a fairly shitty arroma. It still smells nice to me though. Most likely you will have lots of seeds and thats fairly normal.

Being high: Being high is strange and different for everyone. Your eyes will likely get tired and a little red. Your heart beat may speed up a bit this is normal dont panic. You should feel very relaxed and a bit goofy. You should still be able to walk, think, talk, etc fairly normal but there will be some small impairments. Its alot of fun. You may experience strange "time phenomenon" your first time arround. I remember i was smoking and having a good time and then all of a sudden it hit me and it felt like I started smoking hours ago and time just stood still for a while and then I didnt even really think that I had smoked. Then I realized I was stoned lol.

Its good fun, enjoy. Dont be reckless man. And for the love of god dont take ANY to school EVER. Trust me. Dont walk arround with it unnecesarily. If you see a cop or whatever dont whig out just stay calm, chances are he knows and doesnt give a shit.

Be cool.

Also maybe sombody already said this THE FIRST TIME YOU SMOKE YOU DONT GET HIGH so dont bother feeling anything the first time its the second and times after that when you get buh buh baked. Try to get freinds with glass blowers and smoke them up then ask them to make you a bowl. Bowls and Bongs are my favorite and bongs can be easily made

Seath · Post by **Seath** » 03 Oct 2004 10:05

Oh man, thats not always the case Joe, the first time I smoked, I got ripped. Smoked out of a regular metal pipe and I got fucking stoned, arguably the most stoned i've ever been my first time.

on a somewhat related note abba zabba is my only friend

sandman420 · Post by **sandman420** » 03 Oct 2004 10:59

for the love of god dont smoke in a homemade pipe. no homemade pipe can hold a candle to a joint if your smoking schwag. Either get yourself a fine glass piece or smoke a joint or dont smoke at all.

And the saying of not getting high your first time is untrue. Marijuana effects you period. Not getting high is the result of not holding the smoke in or not actually inhaling. Second time arround you will have a better idea of how to smoke it, so you will get higher probably. I got stoned as hell my first time.

DISCLAIMER: Smoking Marijuana is still illegal at least in the U.S. and Canada (sort of) and I'm sure many other countries. With the exception of a few US states where it is allowed for medicinal purposes with a doctor's prescription. So if you choose to act on any of the advice in this thread you must be aware of the illegality of owning or smoking marijuana and know that you are taking the risk of being arrested for possession and/or consumption of a controlled substance. Modified.ca as an entity in no way condones the breaking of any laws in any country.

With that said...

You are all on crack. Smoking weed via a joint or blunt is good for three things... it allows you to carry small ready to smoke amounts, it allows you to inhale more toxins, and it has this total Hollywood, Gangsta Rap, pop-culture coolness appeal.

The reality, for anyone who cares, is that smoking out of a bowl or bong is much more pure and more importantly allows you to save about 1/3 of your weed.

If you light up a joint or blunt the paper/leaf acts as a wick to help keep the sucker burning. As you are sitting there puffing on it and passing it (assuming you're not a camper and that you're not to retardedly staoned to figure out how to get the friggin' joint out of your hand and into the next person's) more and more smoke is dissapearing into the air. That smoke means that something is burning and guess what... it's the weed you just spent your last $10-$20 on (or worse, you are rolling joints with the dank in which case you probably spent your last $50-$300).

If you smoke through a pipe the burn level is much more easily controlled. You can cap it with your finger or a lighter as soon as you have hit it and you have thereby stopped wasting your dope.

You also eliminate the inhalation of extra paper or leaves. A bong will also filter out some of the carcinagions (sp?) through the water, but beware, bigger hit = bigger high = bigger munchies

As for not getting stoned the first time, I concur with those who know better. If you didn't get high your first time, you either didn't do it right, didn't smoke enough, or you just didn't know that you were stoned (I've smoked with more than a few first-timers who just didn't realize they were high).

Again smoking pot is illegal.
