Marijuana Smoking Etiquette
Are you new to cannabis use? Learn the marijuana smoking etiquette that applies to a worldwide culture.
1. The person who rolls the joint (no matter whose weed it is) gets to spark up the joint and get first hit.
2. If someone rolls a nice joint, it’s good to give the person a complement on his rolling skills.
3. If someone starts bogarting the bowl and starts using the excuse that it’s okay for him to Bogart it since it’s his weed; this is definitely not cool. The punishment depends on the quality of the weed and how much he put in. (if it was real crappy and he was real cheap with it, then you bug on the person and rag on him).
4. If someone is incapable to light the bowl (due to being too stoned or the person is just a not all there) then they must relinquish control of the lighter to someone more able to get it lit. This does NOT mean the person who lights gets free hits… this privilege tends to get abused (“hey lemme light it for you.”)
5. If someone is so much of a newbie stoner that they blow INTO the pipe/joint and blow all the shit on the floor, this person must be ragged on and the person can’t smoke on the next round (unless it was his stuff)
6. If you smoke with someone in your house, you should let him or her eat some munchies you may have lying around… don’t be cheap with your food, if you have any.
7. If someone who’s smoked asks for a sip of your soda, you must give him some, (cotton mouth is not fun).
8. Converse of #7: if you ask for a sip, don’t take a large gulp.
9. If smoking from a joint, never put the whole thing in your mouth and get it all sopping wet. It is disgusting and it messes up the joint.
10. If you’re smoking from a bong and there is not enough in the bowl for a whole other hit, you should save the smoke in the chamber for the next person. (Don’t let go of the rushhold or ‘carb’ and take it all yourself)
11. Never bogart
12. Never bitch about someone else’s weed being no good. If you don’t like it don’t smoke it!
13. If a friend gets you high sometime in the future you need to get that friend high
14. Thou shall not turn down a smoke. Ever!
15. Phrased in the form of a narrative: My buddy and I are sitting around smoking the weed that I just scored. After flaming-up, and taking a few moderate puffs, I pass it on. The sounds that follow can only be described as vacuum-like. After a couple of huge, lung-busting tokes, the guy passes back the remnants of something that could have, at some point, been a joint. If it’s not completely “canoed”, then it’s absolutely soaked. I not so subtly drop that old Cheech & Chong line “Hey man, can I wring it out for you?” He just looks at me.
16. I have noticed the following: After smoking-up, the odd “crass-monkey” some people will actually eat the stained, disgusting roach. This must be because they want that “extra bit” of oil, resin, or whatever is left on the paper. This situation can be compared to the patron of a good restaurant picking up his “as good as empty” plate and licking off the remaining morsels of food. Sure he got that little pool of gravy, but was it really worth it?
17. If you buy weed from a friend or a friend of a friend, it is polite to roll a joint, (a small one, if you wish) and smoke with the person who sells you the stuff.
18. It is very impolite to hand someone an empty bowl, without notifying that person of its possible cashed-ness. A proper warning would be ‘Here ya go. I think it might be cashed.
19. The person who fills the bowl is given the opportunity to take the first hit. It doesn’t matter whose weed it is.
20. Always remember to thank a person who has gotten you high. I know it sounds silly, but I know people who never say thanks and it gets a little annoying.
21. The person who brought the bud picks the music.
22. When using a bong, DON’T blow out the ashes, unless that’s what the “homeowner” does.
23. NEVER go to someone’s house EXPECTING him or her to catch you a buzz. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule…
24. If you spill the bong, clean it up! (And don’t forget to put water back in!)
25. When the roach gets too small, if someone has a problem with it, it is common courtesy here to put the roach in a bowl and finish it that way. That way the people who don’t mind burning their fingers don’t get it all.
26. Thou shall not roll pinners.

My girlfriend’s brother used to smoke us out all the time whenever we couldn’t get any (we all only smoke chronic). Recently he’s just been smoking in front of us, handing us an occasional bowl with a few hits left, but his overall attitude is, “I smoke too much weed with you guys” is getting quite annoying.
Especially as we usually buy a couple bags a week (less now since I’m unemployed), but we always smoke all our bags with him. Even after smoking with him, he still just smokes in front of us. It’s silly childishness, people, don’t do what he does. Share your green.
This is effin stupid. weed is weed. smoke it with the world… dumbasses. embrace dont put fucking rules with it.
This is all wrong, maybe in America but in England this is jus all bollox.
1. Rollers Rights- Who ever rolled the joint does spark it
2. The persons house you go to Chong always gets high even if they’ve got no grade(weed)
3. Never thumb suck the joint it makes it soggy and dirty and always pisses people off
4. If one of your boys shares his grade with you, you HAVE to get him high back soon
5. If someone puts shit music they are banned from putting music on again
6. NEVER roll giggle sticks(pinners) there shit, pointless and no one fucking likes them
7. If your getting blazed in a car the driver never takes the blame for the grade in the car if police pull you over NEVER!
8. Foot chases by the police are always fun but never when your blazed, so boxer that shit rapid! (put it down your pants) they can only search the strap of your pants never anything more.
9. If you got over a henny(20 bit) and your boy asks for a quick bong don’t be a cheap cunt spark your boy one what’s the point of being high and no one else is it’s not the same.
10. If it’s not your grade don’t take not than 3 burns of the zoot without asking your mate
11. Try not to get your mates pet high cos they stay high their not the same as humans
12 if your boys got dry mouth(cotton mouth) the least you can do is sort him out with some water
13. If your mate is American and he rolls the zoot don’t smoke it they can’t roll proper joints( no offence)
14. If you make a mess clean it up ash burns ruin carpets, chairs ect and bong water fucking stinks if not cleaned.
15. Try not kill anyone when blazed it doesn’t make weed smokers look good
Whats up very cool website!! Guy .. Beautiful .. Amazing .. I will bookmark your web site and take the feeds additionally?I am happy to seek out a lot of useful info here within the put up, we want develop more strategies on this regard, thanks for sharing. . . . . .
all you need is a lil common sense. and some manners.. when i smoke it makes me laugh! it mellows me out, relaxes my muscles, it doesn’t suddenly make me stupid? actually i sometimes come up with my best ideas or conversations when im stone..
just because we are smoking doesn’t mean we should forget all our parents taught us… that applies to all….having great manners!
I feel like I knew these rules from the beginning
the last one… thank you for finally saying it
haha I like it all except for the one about providing munchies, my house is always full of stoned kids eating all my food and lately I havn’t been feeding them at all because it pisses me off.
consider adding this one.
“Try to restrain your munchies in someones house, but if you smoked them out don’t be afraid to hold that against them to get your beloved snacks.”
I agree with most of these rules. Add, the rule of passing the pot: Left is Law, unless you packed or rolled (so gree hit is yours),the person who bought the stuff is on your right then that’s the way the rotation goes. #3, he who buys, chooses to smoke. #7, Mouth herpes is far worse than cotton mouth, haha. It is a nice gesture, and I am more than happy to give most people a drink, but discretion is needed for this rule. #17, This should not be expected. What if you only buy a G? To smoke a joint with the dealer would leave you with less than a blunt, and if you’re buying that small amount at a time you are obviously down on cash so saving is essential. I’m a college student that this has happened quite a few times. #21, Sorry but some music is simply not good smoking music. Other than those few rule I agree completely with your views on smoking etiquette. Keep on smokin
I was chilling on a beach in Ananzi during a nice summer day. The beach was packed. I lit up a roach. This Zulu dude that was sitting with his family a few metres away smelt the sweet and came over. As is customary when smoking in public in Ananzi, people will come over and ask for a drag. This dude did that exact thing. I obliged, expecting the dude to take a puff talk a couple of words of shit to me, and pass it back. But no. Said dude promptly turned around and walked away. Now that’s uncool man!
i like it but there are a few unnecessary ones and theres a few more that need to be added, like it is common courtesy to help someone out if they have very little left and to offer to either half pack it or match one after (if you have a decent amount), always smoke hot chicks no matter how many heads are already on it, dont talk or drool into the bong, dont hold the chillum up, youll get resin in your mouth, and no you dont smoke too much
Number 14 and number 1 should be switched. =)
whats this? You mean to tell me there’s smoking rules now? I don’t think there should be more rules or standards, we have enough of that in the real world, plus, I read the first rule and already I tend to differ – its problematic – person or persons who rolls the “any” joint should not be the first to light, in fact, they can’t – they would be to busy trying rolling out some more.
Here’s my take on everything – Smoke in peace brothers, never in judgement of others! cough, cough, cough,…there goes my left lung on weed, got to go i need that lung to live! PEACE
Sweet article- but I disagree with #10 and #14. As far as #10, if you aren’t able to clear your chamber in the first hit, you still need to clear it. It can get stale and you can lose smoke if you pass a full chamber. You exhale let go of the carb/pull the slide out and “drink your milk”. On #14, it’s all right to politely refuse to smoke if you have something to do soon. As a corrolary, you shouldn’t refuse unless you have a very valid reason. Valid reasons can be if you have to go see someone that you can’t afford to be stoned around, or if because you have something to do you can’t afford to have “afterburn” (a period of laziness/daze state that some smokers experience).
