first thing ya gotta break up the buds(those big chunks of herb that look really pretty) you can do this by taking a bud and rolling it between your thumb and trigger finger this should leave small peices no bigger than a BB
ounce youve accomplished this put em in your bowl and pack em in tight enouph to where you can suck through it easily then light it while its being lit suck through the pipe making sure you inhale some poeple swallow the smoke by accident once you have smoke in yur lungs hold your breath for at least ten secs. then exhale slowly i have heard myths that say if you exhale through your nose it gets you more stoned faster i dont see how thats true but if it works let me know cuz that would be cool

Ps you might have crappy weed(low potency)
