hey ask all your friend, then ask them to ask there friends. its way safer for you to get set up but a friend that walk the streets, and you wont have to worry about cops eirther! when you start to buy your not really going to know what your doing and you might get riped off i would start buy buying only alittle to start. a pre rolled joint, a dub or a couple grams. you also might not know the slangs, names of bud, quailty etc so read up and ask questions on this forum! as for the kinds of bud you have schwag, the cheap stuff try to stay away from it, its junk. them you got mids there ok not a great smoke but not to expensive. then you have the kind bud, chronic (also a strain), hydro (witch is the method of growing it but can be used as a slang for good shit!) b c bud and the list goes on. this is the good shit that you want! it will cost you! as for bongs and pipes, you need to get them online or go to a heads shop! i recomend the heads shop, while you there you can ask him how to use it, remember you cant buy a bong for smoking marijuana so if you start talking reference tobacco! well good luck if you have questions ask!
