dont be scared and take some big hits you'll really feel it:jointsmile::thumbsup:
welcome to the wonderful world of Mary Jane..
when you get the hang of the bowl you might get tired of it..so if you ever start rolling joints, no need to use .8 or something like that. Thats wayyy too much if youre starting out and got medicals. Ive been tokin daily for like more than 6 months and when i smoke alone i smoke goddamned pinners. I mean, i dont need more than a .3 joint to myself to be blown.
I find jays to be more handy (not the rolling part, of course) compared to a bowl. its just a pissoff to have to reload the bowl all the time, plus its harsher on the throat. I mean most of the time i dont wanna get blazed out of my mind with killer hits, just chill..relax and spark a nice jay with a friend.
and i just smoked one and this took me forever to type, couldnt get my ideas together and transfer em in words. rofl.
My advice would be to take it easy, and use whichever method works best for you. As you build up tollerance you will need to smoke more to get the same effect. Just dont start off by hitting a GB and then salvia like i did :s.
I'd get a grinder to make packing easier. If you find that cannabis helps and its something you want to stick with I'd get a vaporizer. I got one recently and I really like it.
Yeah I forgot to mention in my post(not sure why) that you should get a vaporizer. OR did I forget...After a while when you feel more comfortable smoking, if you have friends bring up the issue of MMJ and see what they think, or if you have kids (who are old enough).
I know from being on narcotic painkillers for roughly 16 years for a medical condition that your tolerance might not be as low as you think. I am off the pills for a few years and my tolerence is still very high. Still take it easy in the beginning but don't be surprised if it is not that low. I would however get a vaporizer if you have the money, it is a great way to smoke.
Granny here- MMJ user of some 40 years now. Welcome to our jolly group. Since you are a MMJ user may I suggest that you look in at these MEDICAL sites? C.c is a wonderful site (I post here more than anywhere), but as medical users, we need a slightly more focused approach. TY is pretty straight forward in it's approach, but has nice folks and contests. Canna Cabana is tropical island themed but is still addressing medical issues.

And yes, get a vaporizer. They smell a lot less than a joint or pipe. The pot is not destroyed when you vape and the "left-overs" can be used in cooking to give you a nice high. You need less- most folks say they need about 1/3 less when vaping compared to smoking! You don't get the morning cough when you vape! Believe me- after 40 years of toking, my lungs were a mess! Two weeks of vaping and they were clear! You don't get the carbon monoxide and dioxide or smoke particles in your lungs when you vape. The high is "clearer", because of the lack of CO2. The Vapor Brother's type is good. About $150 including S&H, small, quiet and simple to use. They are worth it!
As a legal user, you can grow in Cali. There are tons of threads on that, so I won't go into it. But growing is practical- paying the price of gold for dried flowers in insane!
Take a peek at my list of medical studies- it's stickied at the top of the medical forum. Cannabis is a truly amazing plant! Wander around the forums and you'll pick up what info you need in no time!
I'm always hanging around the forum, so if you need to talk about things or have problems, give me a yell! - Granny:hippy:
Thanks so much for the advise, it will go to good use. I am finding mixed areas of pain relief and some just stays the same. Maybe I either need more or I need more time. I hear story after story of immediate releif, but not for me, it takes time to kick in, which is fine. I do intend to try my hand at growing. I guess I need to poke around here for the best way to get started with that. I appreciate very much that I live in a state where medical use is permitted, altho it does concern me the amount of apparent misuse of it, but everyone has a right to do what they feel is right. I just hope it remains a good example for other states yet to approve laws of their own.
Granny, you're so nice. :) Sorry I just had to say that, you're always so helpful in your posts.

Mary Jane is truly a wonderful thing. Definately invest in a glass bowl, they have such smooth hits and they come in such beautiful designs. Long slow tokes are they way to go.
if you plan to roll, considering you've only smoked 3 joints in your life i highly suggest getting a roller like this:

can usually find 'em in all tobacco OR head shops for a couple of bucks... easy to use too...
