alright, well if you're just going to be smoking on weekends, you DEFINITELY don't need to be buying an oz at a time! lol unless you know exactly what you want, i'd say you should start off with a "dub" (normally 1/8 of an ounce) at a time. should be somewhere from 20 to 30 bucks, depending on the quality and quantity. and as far as basic etiquette goes, it's normally that you just take 1-2 hits and pass it to the left (but you probably already knew that)

but there is a certain technique for lighting a pipe/bowl/whatev that's called "cornering" basically, you position the lighter VERY near the outer edge of the weed, so it's not even touching the weed when you light it, and then you suck in so that only like 1/2 of the bowl is burnt by the flame. this ensures that the next person in line gets some green material. it's just a nice little favor for a buddy of yours, ya know?

but that's about all i know. you can use the search feature on here if you want to learn more etiquette and such.

but most of the time, if you're not certain what rules the guys you're smoking with are going by, just ask. people will normally be glad to let you know what's going on so you don't fuck up and make an ass of yourself.

hope i helped, dude. welcome to the cannabis culture :thumbsup:
