New to smoking cannabis.

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.

:wtf:

damn, I wish I was as high as you

LOL I was thinking the same thing, but minus the Straight jacket :rastasmoke:

And to answer the question of the original poster. Try and keep the weed in a mason or other type jar. Keeping it in the baggie you get it in usually causes trichomes etc to stick to the side of bags because they are statically charged. There are also Anti-Static bags you can buy and weed dosent seem to stick to it as much. Check for mold as stated above but you should have no problem smoking the stuff after 2 months or even a year if stored properly. Have fun and welcome ! Glad you have found a benefit for smoking.

Get yourself a glass pipe. Glass Waterbongs are nice too..

I bought myself two glass pipe from a localhead shop for $20 to $30 a piece. They're easy to clean with 90% or better alcohol(rubbing alcohol or ethanol). Though there may be some dried resin/tar on the inside that you'll need to use either a pipe cleaner or something else. I use table salt as an abrasive with rubbing alcohol and seal the open holes(with fingers) on my pipe and shake it excessively.
