the ritual...
open bag, take a wiff
grab some nugs
turn them over to decide if i like that one.
grind it up, any grinder, i have a really good plastic one that kiefs well.
pack it up, i usually grind up atleast enough for maybe 2 bowls.
hit it, hold it, pass it.
usually it passes around some, or i wait maybe a minute or two between hits.

as for the preperation, i need a drink, anything but milk will do, and milk suffices sometimes. i cant drink the tap water here, if you only knew what was in it.
Arizona Juice is the shit, 99c for a double can of the best juice ever. Gotta get watermelon, or grape. Cherry Dr. Pepper is nice too.

hold the hit for maybe 5 seconds, put the bowl back, pass it, hold it a second longer.

as for the weed, the cool thing is i use/roll on a wooden chessboard, so its a large flat area, very useful. When i grind up a lot of weed, i like to shape my mound into something, circles, squares, pentagons, yesterday it was a 3.5g paisley pattern, triangles, just to pretty things up a bit.

packer has first hit, and deuces can be called, but only in rotation, and second bowl goes opposite direction. and it continues in that way.

music is always on, pandora, or iTunes, something. Bone thugs is nice, most people are ok with it even if they dont like the genre as a whole.

something to try, turn the tv on, mute it. turn your favorite music on. smoke, watch tv, listen to music. its the best way, you can decide your own story, while the music is pleasing.
