New and Need Help

[SickoKid]

I'm kind of new to weed. I have smoked a couple of times before out of a bong and a joint which friends made. I am going to get some weed soon off a mate at work and I don't really know anything about doing it myself so I have some questions:

1. Do you need tobacco when you are rolling a joint? Is there something bad about just having weed, and not a mixture of the two?

2. To roll a joint, because I am not 18 I cannot buy tobacco or get rolling papers everyone is talking about. I have read on these boards that using straw wrappers from places like McDonalds and KFC are pretty good for doing it. Wouldn't these papers be too thin and burn to quickly?

3. Is there any paper I could get around the house that would work?

Sorry about the stupid questions, I just have no idea about this shit. Any help would be appreciated.

No. I don't get why people put tobacco in their joints. I want to get high, not get lung cancer. And why would you want to taint the sweet taste of weed with that crap?

I don't know. I hardly ever roll joints, and when I do I only use rolling papers. If you do decide to use something like that, make sure it doesn't have any ink on it. You don't want to smoke ink. I would recommend just making an apple pipe or something, since you wouldn't need any papers and you wouldn't need to roll. All you need is an apple. Rolling joints is hard. You need to practice to get good at it. It'll probably take a while before you can roll up something smokable. Sometime in the near future you should get somebody to buy you a pipe or something, and then you won't ever have to worry about getting papers.

I'm always glad to help out a fellow toker. Don't worry about looking stupid. We all used to be newbies once, and smokers are very understanding about that.

Oh, and welcome to the wonderful world of weed! :rasta:

My advice: buy a really nice spoon bowl. Smoke for awhile and then move into rolling, that's what I did and it really made it easy for me. That's just my opinion, some people never ever roll and some never do anything else.

By the way, if you're over 18, master the *art* of the blunt. It's definitely worth it if you're into rolling.

ah yes, rolling the joints.... still don't do it, we pretty much designated one person to learn how and that's how it's been. Joints are handy for when you don't have anything else to smoke from. Definently try to get a spoon or even a small pipe something you can use. Blunts are always a good time. And as for tabacco in a joint mixed with weed, never done it and don't plan to. Weed is just to pretty and pure to taint with tabacco. well that's all for now.
