it's just 'whatever' ya know? take the hit how you want, i don't care, just don't nurse the damn peice forever... if other people are waiting to get high, take your hit as fast as you can and pass, once everyone's stoned, as long as you're not smoking what's intended for everyone, to yourself i really dont' care... bythat i mean, if i just loaded up a bowl and everyone's already high, hit it however you want, as much as you want.. just don't smoke the whole fucking bowl.... if i load up a bowl, i expect it to come around to me ATLEAST once (when i smoke out of a bong, i usually take 2-3 good hits and pass when everyone's already stoned)
