Quite a few questions I've got.
1. How do I tell what's good weed? How do I know if I'm being ripped off? Quantitative measurements I can gauge from?
2. What should I try; a joint or a pipe?
3. What do I need? Feel free to link me to some online store pages, I can order things digitally. I don't want to spend a huge amount of money (I'm not going to buy a $100 bong), but I'll buy what I need to start off.
Thanks.
Next time try looking for other threads to help you out.

And to answer #2, there's many more possibilities than that...Joint, blunt, chillum, steamroller, bubbler, bong, zong, vaporizer.
1. You won't be able to because you're new to it. Google it and look at a bunch of pictures so you know what it looks like. Don't tell the dealer that this is your first time.
2. Pipe if you're by yourself, joint if you have a friend that can roll. I'd say bong if possible because your lungs aren't going to be good at taking in smoke.
3. If you're on your own just make an apple pipe. Google it.
I suggest you find a friend who smokes so he can hook you up and show you what to do. Also, look at this link.

I probably got ripped off; I really need to get a scale, amongst other things. Anyone want to help me compile a list of things I need to buy? [url]http://www.grasscity.com[/url] looks promising. So far, I've come to the conclusion of needing a scale, grinder, and some sort of smoking utility (pipe or rolling papers, filters, and maybe an automatic roller). Anything else you can think of? Any recommended pipes or whatever?
All you need a is a pipe/bong/blunt(your personal choice), some weed, and MAYBE a scale.
Take it slow your first time, don't want a green-out.

How does this guy look?
If you're buying smoking tools online, visit [url]www.everyonedoesit.com[/url] , best site for that kind of shit.
I also recommend you to either get a glass pipe or a bong.
I got myself one of these spoon pipes: [url]http://www.everyonedoesit.com/online_headshop/spoon-pipes1.cfm[/url] , it works perfectly and it's cheap.
You don't really need a scale, but sure, it can be good to have one. I have this one: [url]http://www.everyonedoesit.com/online_headshop/Infotech_10g_letter_scales.cfm?iProductID=81[/url] helped me out a lot back when I was dealing, I can recommend it.
you don't need a grinder for first the time, just use scissors, thats what i did and it works just fine.
Post a nice pic of the stuff you got and tell us how much you bought and for how much. Also, smoke out of an apple pipe or some other kind of a homemade device for now. Really, you want to make sure you like smoking before going out and buying a bunch of smoking related stuff. You really don't need a grinder unless you are going to use joints, and I wouldn't suggest joints to someone who is new because they can be tricky to make. Most people won't rip you off unless you make it known that you are new to weed.
I bought this scale
[url]http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15002[/url]
Cheap,and works well, but takes a while to arrive. If you get a scale be sure to get a weight or two so you can test the accuracy.
A lot of times you may get under the amount, and this may not be the dealer cheating you, yet rather that they are using a bad scale which measure in .25 - .5 gram. So their scale will read 3.5 grams because the scale will be rounding up from lets say 3.4 or 3.3. So having a scale with good resolution and checking is always good.

Unless you're smoking a joint or something similar, I say use your hands.

Most of that's accurate, but I do not think scales can even come like that, they are accurate to the gram (it would show up as 1g 2g 3g etc) the tenth gram (this is accurate enough for weed, it will show up as 1.1g, 2.2g, 3.5g etc) and then for powders, theres 100th gram (and these show up as 1.01g, 0.25g, etc) there's more accurate, but in the drug world, .01g accuracy is far enough.

Ah that's right, for some reason I thought my friend had a measured in quarter of a grams, but now I remember that is was actually just in grams.

Unless you are like me and you make 300ml of acid every week
It's probably a good idea to just invest a couple bucks and get a nice pipe\bubbler.
I got a REALLY nice bubbler on etsy for around $30 or $40 iirc, and it'll last you a while. Though my very first pieces were all homemade because when I started I was A) broke, and B) unsure about if I'd actually WANT to invest in a pipe after really trying it

What? You make acid? I thought that took a literal chemist.
A biological chemist.
Organic chemist.

1. if it smells strong, has lots of crystals that you can see. usually good weed is pretty green, but not in all cases. its hard to explain how to know if you're getting ripped off, but i have a scale and just by weighing my weed, i can typically tell by looking if its a legit looking bag. i guess it just comes by experience. when you get it from a dealer, just pretend to know what you're talking about.
2. pipe would probably be easier than learning to roll a joint.
3. i wouldn't go all out, find a friend that smokes and use his pipe. (unless you plan on smoking regularly)

First off good weed is full of tiny little crystals, is soft and is sometimes moist and has a pungant Odor about is. i would have gotten op to buy a nickel sack and made op post some pot pictures so-we can judge-them and then help himbetter Secondly unless op can roll cigaretes goto headshop and get a ten or twenty dollar pipe with a carb the hole onyour bowl's side.get some bugler rolling tobacco a single pouch comes with papers costs 5 dollars give or take and learn how to roll joints with the shitty tobacco bugler. joints are mondo better than smoking devices try getting pulled over forced to gut weed you have and your smoking devices
1. You don't have any experience with the substance, therefore your judgement will be purely quantitative until you have a knowledge base of experiences to cross reference. That being said, I would recommend asking your source what strain's they supply and do research.
2. I recommend using a bong as a method of intake. Besides edibles it is the healthiest way to get high.
3. Ask your source to smoke a bowl with you your first time. Everyone likes free weed, even dealers. If not, you can always use a makeshift piece out of a soda can (google is your friend here).
Best of luck to you.
Smoking out of a can is horrible. Make one out of a watter bottle: First, burn a small hole near the bottom of the bottle. Then, remove the cap and place tin foil on the top, and push it in to form a bowl. Make holes in the tin foil, and tada, you have a makeshift piece.

1. Crystally, smelly, sticky, has a healthy-looking green color.
2. Pipe is easiest if you don't know how to roll, and you need a lot of weed (for a beginner) to roll a joint unless you mix it with tobacco, which is bad. On the other hand, a pipe costs money, but not so much that it's a problem unless you're poor.
3. Well, if you're smoking from a pipe as I'd suggest, you'll need a spoon pipe, a screen (optional but cheap and def. worth it) and a lighter. You can also buy a grinder which makes chopping up the weed much more easy and practical, but it's kind of a big investment if you're new and you're not sure how much you're going to use it.
[QUOTE=Pepin;24811126]

You can break stuff up with your hands very well. Takes an extra few minutes, but you have a lot more control. I don't particularly like grinders, I'd rather use my hands.
And for those of you telling him what good weed looks like, he doesn't even know what "good weed" means. Good weed to him could be scruff, just bullshit, since he's new. Good weed could also mean middies, not dank per say, but way better than scruff. It could mean a name brand, or medical, or anything really.
So to answer "what does good weed look like", you'll just have to learn over time. Its really different depending on: Who you are, what your tolerance levels are, how much money you want to spend, where you live geographically, what time of year it is, ext. There are so many factors just saying "Smells dank, looks dank, feels dank" is not going to actually help him. Medical gets you FUCKED up, and when I had some of it it didn't smell at all, wasn't the least bit sticky, had very few crystals. Still the best stuff I've ever smoked in my five years of smoking.
[editline]12:59PM[/editline]
I'd also suggest, as many have before me, smoking with somebody else, a friend maybe, even if they haven't smoked before. Because your first time and shortly after that, it's a lot more fun and enjoyable if you have somebody else with you to laugh along, share the experience, ext.
