Hey man, its a fun little hobby, you will probably enjoy it.

Ok, if its a little old i'm not sure, it should be ok. I roll it on regular rolling paper without a mouthpiece, and i don't put tobacco in it. I stop smoking when it gets really small, and then save the end, or Roach, for another occasion.

oh yea, whats a ROACH?
and do you think that after the 1st time, i can totally stop smoking?

[nakedgunner]

a roach is just the little part that is left wen the joint is low. like a cigarete butt, but with weed in it. and u can save the roach if u want cause if u had a pipe u can put the roach weed in the pipe. well anyway yes u could quit after once. u might not even get high ur first time. depends if u smoke it right. take a hit suck it into ur lungs and hold it in as long as u can.

do i have to take a hit, then breathe some air to make it all go in my lungs, or I just take a hit and hold it?? wooww its cool

A roach is the last bit of a joint OR it is a piece of rolled up paper or cardboad you put at the the mouthpiece end of the joint (or blunt) to help it draw better. I don't really know anyone who uses the the draw helping roaches, but I know they exist somewhere. You can roll it even if its old. It still has the thc in it, which is the stuff that gets you high. It will be a little harsher, and burn a little faster, but thats about it. Tobacco is a preferance thing. Again don't know anyone who actually mixes tabacco with weed, but I hear there are some (maybe a Europe thing?). I love blunts because they have just the right amount of tobacco without needlessly destroying my lungs. You stop smoking the joint, when its too hot to hold, and/or smoke (it will burn your throat even more, because the smoke doesn't have time to cool, and it will also burn your lips). There are various traditions for what to do with the leftover roach (being the last little bit of the joint/blunt). Some people like to swallow it, (making sure that the joint/blunt is extinquished, others save it for grandparent joints (where you combine lots of roaches to make a super resinated joint. Others just toss the joint like a cigarette butt. Anyways, have fun with the weed man, and take a hit for me.

Personal preferance, I like to take a little extra fresh air after my hit, because it burns a little less, and it helps me hold it longer. It will all hit your lungs, as long as you drawl from your lungs, and not from your mouth. The key is to hold it for at least 6 secs. I hold mine for 15+, don't know if it helps any extra but thats just the way I do.

Why stop after the first time?

[NOTEHOOK]

it's expensive lol

[ShamanicHippy]

also man you have to spin around one time after each hit or you wont get high
