Okay, sick of these first time threads. Pot newbies, head in here now - General

[QUOTE=Pepin;29210011][B]Should I smoke stems? Why don't others?[/QUOTE] If I may make a suggestion, you should have a section denoted to "What exactly do I smoke?" And explain about seeds and stems. It's like the stoner version of the birds and the bees... the seeds and the stems. Why are these things always so sticky? ;) anyway... I know at first I didn't know what I was looking at. I bet a dank diagram would work well! But I wouldn't cut out what you already said about stems. That's very good. I also think this thread should be mentioned in the stickied "Drug Information - New to the section? Read this!!" thread by Benji. That might deter a few noobies here.

[B]Should I smoke seeds? [/B]No, absolutely avoid seeds. To first point out, they won't get you high. Secondly, they taste and burn terribly. When you pack your bowls, be sure to pick out any seeds. You should only save seeds if you intend on planting them, otherwise just through them out. You do not want seedy marijuana. [IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/mlml9j.png[/IMG] [B]Why is seedy marijuana bad? [/B]Because you don't smoke seeds. It also shows something about the quality in that really seedy marijuana is usually bad marijuana because it was grown poorly. To further that point, pollinated marijuana will produce less cannabinoids. Since cannabis plants have two different sexes, if you eliminate the male plants before they get a chance to pollinate the females, the weed won't have any seeds. This is to say that good growers won't produce marijuana with any seeds. [B]Should I smoke leaves? [/B]It isn't suggested but some people have reported getting high from smoking leaves. If you really want to try it out of curiosity nothing is stopping you, but there isn't much point or reason in doing it. With that being said, do not buy leaves off anybody because you would be wasting money. [B]Should I drink the bong water? Will it get me higher? [/B]No. It will taste bad and won't get you any higher. People like to play this prank on new smokers.

bump sick of these first time threads that have been popping up recently

Weed is overated. Coming from a Dutch person, so it means alot.

[QUOTE=toastman;35106884]Weed is overated. Coming from a Dutch person, so it means alot.[/QUOTE] Depends on what you mean, as far as medical, it's absolutely amazing considering there are basically no real side effects, especially from vaping. However as far as recreational, it's nice, but it isn't intense or anything. Depends on the person really

[QUOTE=toastman;35106884]Weed is overated. Coming from a Dutch person, so it means alot.[/QUOTE] k [editline]12th March 2012[/editline] cool opinion bro

True this. When I first started smoking, I was hanging out with my friend who knew a great deal about weed. And I tried learning the tips and tricks aswell as all the traditions, games and things to do meanwhile to make sure I was never some obnoxious noob. Worked out pretty good. I'm also helping people who want to try, but have none to try with. It's always a great experience to have someone more experienced along the first few times you do it, so you know everything is good. Cheers!

If it has seeds, it's a male plant. If it's male, toss that shit in the trash. Male are not good for anything. It tastes disgusting, it feels disgusting and will leaving your puking before you get high.

Should probably mention that 96% of THC gets absorbed after 2-4 seconds of being in the lungs. The only reason you should hold it any longer is if you're ghosting hits (clearing as much of the smoke as you can in your lungs to reduce the smell; done usually if you're smoking in your car/house) or trying to kill brain cells.

it wont kill brain cells unless youre holding your hits for a minute or something its pretty easy to tell when you need to breathe

[QUOTE=Mac2468;35116360]it wont kill brain cells unless youre holding your hits for a minute or something its pretty easy to tell when you need to breathe[/QUOTE] longer than a minute, pretty much you can't do yourself brain damage without some other force stopping you from breathing, because you will breath regardless of how hard you try not to, you'll just pass out

Don't drink and smoke for the first time, they do not mix very well.

[QUOTE=Axelius;35120180]Don't drink and smoke for the first time, they do not mix very well.[/QUOTE] some people loves to get crossfaded. but yeah, if it's one of your first times smoking and drinking at the same time, then you might want to start out slow.

holy shit my thread is alive [editline]14th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=zach1193;35106674]Yea, Engage linked it in a recent thread and it needed to be bumped, a quality thread.[/QUOTE] It's just got everything in the OP that we would ever need I PM'd Banned User to sticky it but he never replied We just don't need these "i want to smoke weed" threads anymore, everything is answered better and more in depth in this thread and all we do is say the same shit week after week

[QUOTE=Axelius;35120180]Don't drink and smoke for the first time, they do not mix very well.[/QUOTE] the spins fucking sucks lmao but seriously don't do this unless you want to have a scary night

I've gotten drunk and high before, actually shortly after getting a blood test done holy fuck it both hit me hard as hell

I remember reading somewhere that there is no difference in the high if you hold for longer than ten seconds, far from when you're cells start dying of oxygen deprivation.

I've noticed my voice has gotten a LOT more gravelier since I've started smoking weed again, is it just a coincidence or does weed have to do anything with this? Also, I practically smoke a pack of cigarettes a day with how much my family smokes around me, if that has to do with anything.

I would probably say it's because you've been smoking a pack of cigs everyday

[QUOTE=En-Guage V2;35132081]I would probably say it's because you've been smoking a pack of cigs everyday[/QUOTE] yea if that's true, then yea
