Just Say No To Blunts

The new generation of users made the tobacco leaf rolling papers for marijuana delivery very popular. This type of delivery can kill the taste of myriad delicious strains and can even cause the user to have addiction towards the nicotine.

Know Your Equipment

As you may know, there are several ways to deliver marijuana. One example is through the use of vaporizers which can be good for eliminating the smoke’s funky smell especially if you don’t want anyone around you to notice that you’re smoking joint. The high that a smoker usually experiences in vape is not that intense and won’t last that long. A bong on the other hand is considered to be a bit disgusting and it filters the most noxious elements of combustion.

Ways Of Consuming Marijuana

Smoking marijuana is the most traditional way of consumption but for the modern day people, it can be consumed in so many different ways. Here are a few examples of how people smoke their marijuana:

  • Joint – This weed consumption is rolled inside a paper that is similar to a cigarette.
  • Pipe – The weed is usually placed in the pipe and the smoke is much stronger than the joint.
  • Brownies – If you are not into smoking then brownies are the most enjoyable way of consuming marijuana.
  • Bongs – This large pipe will require you to ingest all the smoke in a single inhalation so it may not be appropriate for first timers.

Giggling Man Is An Oxymoron

If it is your first time to smoke marijuana, then you are free to giggle all you want. This is normal since the primary effect of weed will enhance your sense of enjoyment for all the things around you. But once you get used to smoking it, make sure to learn some dignity in the process. You must be strong enough to overcome the giggles and munchies. Just concentrate your mind to the new perceptions that marijuana has provided you instead.

Expectations

If you feel paranoid when using marijuana, it’s because the substance gives you a different perspective of yourself. It gives you a view wherein it is the opposite of normal and provides you with a glimpse of something which you might not have done before. This is something that can be a bit difficult to endure for first timers since they are mostly expecting to have a high feeling rather than the opposite. Just know that it is a normal thing to happen even for those who have been smoking weed for quite some time.
