From "High Times" Best of 39. This is a poll of what you think is the most important pot smoking etiquette whether you are living in dorm rooms at college or anything else related:

The 5 Commandments of Dorm-Room Smoking Safety

1.) Thou Shalt Not Open the Door During a Session:
Sorry, but if you're in, you're in for the duration, and if you're out, you're shit out of luck. Announce a "countdown to burndown" five minutes prior to toking to make sure the whole cannabis crew is assembled before sparking up.

2.) Thou Shalt Sesh, Not Stew:
To go along with Commandment No. 1: Don't just sit around smoking pot constantly. Smoke 'em if you got em, and then let things clear out a bit (and in your head).

3.) Thou Shalt Keep it Down, Dude:
Yup, you're stoned and it's a funny story, but you can't be gettin' all loud abot it and drawing attention. This, of course, goes double for nocturnal nuggets. Anyway, it's a nice day and you're stoned: go take a walk or something. Then you can laugh as lound as you want with lungs full of fresh air.

4.) Thou Shalt Keep Joints to a Minimum:
There's just no smokier way to smoke than the joint. Blunts, at least, have a tobacco masking, but they're still trouble makers (especially in a "smoke -free" room). Remember, even when you're not puffing, that joint is smoking away in your hand.

5.) Thou Shalt Not Get All Paranoid and Shit:
If you're taking proper precautions, there's no reason to freak out. It's a classic buzzkill, and you're better than that. Wait, turn down the music...Did you just here some voices in the hallway?

i had that issue too.

I live in a dorm, and I usually smoke by myself so I don't really have to worry about Commandments 1 or 3. As for 2, I always got 'em so I always smoke 'em. I don't really smoke in short concentrated sessions but I keep my bowl around and toke on it occasionally when I feel appropriate. I never smoke joints...well, I might twist one up if I've got a lot of leaf because then I can afford not to take in every puff of smoke like when I have quality bud, but if I'm gonna smoke a joint I go outside for a little stroll through thinly-populated areas.

So I voted for #5, don't get all paranoid and shit. It's the only one I have the occasional problem with here in the dorms, but as my mother always says, paranoia is just good thinking when they're really out to get you.

I really cant stand it when people get paranoid. It ruins the mood and is annoying bcos if the person who is paranoid had a bit more self control it wouldnt occur.

Yeah, thats always the downfall of a session, and a classic buzzkill. That's why I don't smoke with paranoid people, because paranoia it spreads like a disease.
