It’s good to know a few things to ask when accepting a joint to smoke that is being passed and consuming cannabis in public, especially if you’re a newbie.
A lot of times, people are passed a joint and don’t know what it is, which could be an issue. For example, you might need energizing Sativa weed at a party to ease nerves and tell jokes, but somebody passes you lazy Indica. So instead of being chatty and enjoying the party, you might end up staring at a pattern, feeling awkward in a corner.
Other times, you might smoke some Sativa late at night and can’t sleep!!
It should be noted that a lot of strains or cultivars are hybrids, and Sativa or Indica doesn’t really describe the plant well.
Learn More About Weed in a Joint
If you want to learn about what you’re about to blaze, questions about the terpenes and cannabinoids that make it up might be better. They greatly affect the effect, taste, and smell of cannabis.
You can ask people. Fans of the weed they’re sharing will go into detail. Connoisseurs will know and be happy to explain it, just like wine. So you can learn the name of one of more than 6,000 cannabis strains to learn what makes it special.
Unfortunately, sometimes people are going to forget the name of the weed and the details about it.
Most people will think their cannabis is safe and ok, and it generally is. That being said, there are rumors of different problems with underground legacy and legal flower in general.
A lot of stoners assume a lot of weed is sufficiently hybrid and safe, so it’s safe to accept a passed joint.
However, everyone has different tastes and tolerances based on their preference, experience, and body type. So, it’s important to know what’s in it. This is especially true if you’re sensitive to certain sorts of weed and don’t have a high tolerance.
What’s in a Joint?
It’s also notable that you can taste the means by which weed is smoked. So, a blunt wrap is often made from a cigar leaf with some tobacco. Some are flavored. Some people will use hemp paper or another alternative to roll a joint, and you can taste it too.
Blunt smoke will also come out with some tobacco. So even if you didn’t mix tobacco and weed like a spliff, it will still come out like that. The smell will linger in a closed room in a noticeable way. Some may not mind, while others will.
Pipes and bongs need to be cleaned regularly, or the buildup will affect your ability to consume. They generally become full of ash and tar, which clogs pipes and bongs. So they need regular cleaning
When you smoke weed, it’s good to know its name and if it’s infused with weed dust, kief, or something to make it stronger. An infused joint or blunt will be much stronger than a regular one. Some companies make legal infused joints with hash-type concentrates.
Be careful when taking a dab. Concentrate dabs are stronger than regular flower. They make even longtime flower consumers cough.
Puff, puff, pass is the rule to not sit on the weed or not pass it quickly enough in a circle or scythe. So don’t sit on it and forget it or take too many hits. A third hit might be ok, depending on the situation and the nature of the scythe or circle of people smoking weed.
You also should try to avoid leaving too much saliva on it.
How to Prevent Cotton Mouth
Have a drink for cotton mouth! Water is best if you want to be high. Alcohol, soda, and juice will affect them at the expense of a pure high.
A good glass of water will make you feel so much better, especially after a big hit where you got really high and coughed.
Unfortunately, there’s no cheers in weed like drinking, yet.
