like i said, i've only smoked three times in my life and only other people's weed, but i wanna start to make a recreational habit of it, yaknow, and i'd be open to any kind of advice (or if you could direct me to another thread or whatever).

like, on average how much should it cost if i buy an amount (is one oz. standard?)... and how can i tell when a bowl (i've only ever smoked out of a pipe/bowl before) is cashed? is there any kinda technique or etiquette i should be aware of if i'm puffing from a bowl, like how i light it? if i decide to buy my own piece, anything i should know about taking care of it other than cleaning oout the resin?

i'm sure this all sounds kinda foolish but i appreciate your advice...
One Oz in America can vary in price depending on state and quality. Expect to pay for mids, maybe $160 - 200 and for dank, $300-400. I reccomend buying an 8th, which is 3.5 grams, try it out and then see if you wanna buy more after, which you probably will if it's good stuff A bowl has 3 stages, which i will describe in colours: Green, black, white. Once we have arrived at the white stage, the bowl is cashed, time to pack another enjoy. People have already talked about cornering, it's important to get it down, it's very noticable stoner professionalism. Maybe when you buy some ganja, you should smoke up the people who smoked you up, some good karma and all. Personally, i think you should buy a bubbler instead of glass pipe, look it up on google if you don't know what it is. Water pipes are so much smoother then regular and are worth the investment 100%

Good luck and happy toking :hippy:
