So I finally tried it, and it seemed to relax me. I've decided I will start smoking occasionally.
Some questions:
To smoke from a bat, how should I go about cutting the bud up? Shred it with scissors? Grind it???
Does weed ever "go bad", or is it okay to smoke stuff you bought 2 months ago?
Thank you!
Smoking is a personal perf.. game.
You can grind or use scissors or crush in fingers..
you can smoke it if it still looks good..
I usually just break it apart with my fingers.
*Looks around*
"Anybody remember me?" :jointsmile:
I usually just bust it up with my fingers too...sometimes cut it up with one of those box cutter blades you know?...
But you might want to invest in something that renders the hits a lot less harsh than a bat if you're going to be medicinally using it more than "occasionally"
Just a heads up :thumbsup:
I smoke it to sleep, nothing works better. I have also tried various methods of crushing it, as well as leaving it whole and just pinching off a bowl here and there, but i prefer to use that method for bong hits.
I prefer to crush it up with my fingers, because it gives a pre-connection to the pot you're about to burn, so when you inhale the smoke, it's as if you're being visited by an old friend.
I've used two types of grinders, an herb grinder that can be bought at many herbalist shops or nature stores, and a high quality grinder with pollen screen where the keef collected... that was beautiful, however it felt deprived of the connectivity of using my own hands.
All in all, however, if i had more time with that grinder, i could have imbued more of my personal energy and it would have essentially retained the "old friend" effect.
Weed does not "go bad" unless it is too damp and gets moldy. If you ever have moldy weed -DO NOT SMOKE IT! Moldy weed SMELLS moldy- trust your nose! Cannabis has many scents, but mold is not one of them! Dry cannabis has a fairly long shelf life (months) if kept cool, dry and out of the light. For very long storage, put it in a glass jar and freeze it.
Grinding- several ways. If you like very finely flaked weed, get that big wire mesh strainer from the kitchen and rub the pot through to a waiting plate. This works best with very dry grass (also good if you find seeds in your weed- keep the seeds! You WILL want to grow someday:D). There are grinders of many descriptions- skip the plastic ones. And, of course, you have fingers!
I would suggest getting a small pipe. There will be a time when you will run out of papers or wraps and need a toke! You can always find a light for your pipe! A small glass "one hitter " will only put you back a few bucks. I've made most of my pipes.
Eventually you may wish to get a vaporizer. I'd suggest a Vapor Brothers as a reasonable 1st vaporizer. Vaping cuts down on coughing. :thumbsup:

For a 'bat' you don't need to grind it, just use your hands. It's personal choice though, some like to grind everything so they get more surface area. Personally, i would only grind buds for a joint or blunt. If you're going to do this, invest in a grinder with a keif catcher rather then scissors. To be honest though, don't even worry about those issues, just put on some of your fav tunes, lay on your bed, blaze a fat one and relax.
grind it with clean finger nails :)
