Im a newbie and im wondering if i got scammed

Keep up with school, friend! You don't want to fall behind. Pay attention in class, ask a teacher or assistant for help. Just be genuinely interested in learning (or fake it until you actually are interested in learning). It's fun, and keeps you sharp.

I suggest Magic Flight Launch Box if you can afford it and have it sent discreetly. Some head shops might actually have them in stores, too (if you're of legal age to go to them). If you're really in a tight spot, you can always make an Apple Pipe (my friend used to make these for his own use, though I've never used one. He didn't use tin foil like the guy in the video did either). Using an apple might help mask the smell, too, but I'm not sure. Otherwise, get some Febreze (for your clothes and the carpet or furniture where you smoke), ozium if you can afford it (you can find it in the car freshener aisle at retail stores and maybe convenience stores; I'll note that ozium is probably my favorite product, since it completely clears the air). Incense and candles also are nice, and are soothing anyway (though your parents might question why you have them, if you live with parents).

As for whether you were ripped off- most likely. It's hard to tell, but that doesn't look like anything I'd want to smoke. Just don't buy from that guy any more. If you can't find any other sources, you might want to hold off and just focus on studying for now. Personally, I'd rather not smoke at all if my product was questionable. But, I'm more about quality than quantity.

Zigzags, but as for the smell, you could quickly take a shower, spray cologne or any air freshener on yourself, and brush your teeth or if you're too lazy mouthwash. Try to keep in mind that if you can't make the smell go away try to bring out an alternative smell to yourself that sort of covers up the other smell. But really after smoking the only thing that smells is your piece so most likely no one will notice whether or not you reek as long as you wash your piece if you choose to get a bong. But since you're a beginner a bong can cause many difficulties also inexperience can lead to shitty mistakes. It's best to have a friend give you tips and stuff like that before jumping into huge pieces and such. I personally favor the bubbler, a bit easier to carry around.

I suggest you purchase a little electric scale, so if someone tries to hustle you, you can show them you mean business if it doesn't weigh.

Bottom line, everyone who smokes pot needs a scale. If you grow it, you need a scale. If you buy it, you need a scale. You don't have to spend a lot of money to get one either. Most headshops have some expensive ones, and cheaper ones for sale. Get one that is at least accurate to .001 or to the thousandths of a gram. It will be an investment on your end and potentially save you a lot of time and frustration for years to come. Zigzags are fine. I prefer hemp paper for spliffs, but I generally smoke out of a waterpipe or a spoon (not the eating utensil.) Also, even though this has been said already: Take your education seriously man. Even if school is not the place where you are getting the best information, make a point to learn on your own time. Reading a book won't kill you, I promise. Many aspects of Life get easier as you continue to learn. Marijuana is not something to take lightly either. It's a powerful medication for healing the body and the mind. You shouldn't use it just because you feel like blowing off school. That is the wrong attitude to have. Since how you have been introduced to Cannabis, take some time to learn more about the history of this wonderful plant, and perhaps use this moment as a catalyst to bettering yourself physically and mentally.

Without the slightest intention of being condescending or patronizing, I'll tell you what I tell my own kids (13 & 16):

No, cannabis isn't going to KILL you. But your brain's still growing, and so's the rest of you. Until we know more, wait until you're 40. Just to be safe. Then by all means, blaze away.

Wait until your brain is developed, sure, but 40? Nahhhhhhhhh. Just do the research.

Zigzag? Sure. But an apple works pretty damn well for a day. Just shove a pen down one end into the core, then through the side to the core, ream it out a bit... done.
