De-seed Your Weed
If you ever hear a "pop" while smoking a bowl, someone has packed a seed. Packing a seed is a surefire way to expose yourself as a novice pot smoker. The smoke from a burning seed, if inhaled, can cause a throbbing headache and absolutely ruin your high. Don't take chances; de-seed your buds completely before smoking them.It's a good idea to maintain a de-seeded stash. That way, you can reach into the seedless sack and load bowls without worry. Better yet, smoke seedless bud.Quality Weed
There are many ways to differentiate between "kind bud" (excellent quality weed) and "dirt" (poor quality weed). Being able to quickly tell them apart is essential in proving yourself to be a stylish pot smoker. Listed below are four distinguishing traits of kind bud:1) Smell. Great weed can have a wide variety of smells. The scent of pine trees and skunks, for example, are both common indicators of good pot. However, if the weed smells very pungent and "grassy," it may have been picked prematurely. (When a marijuana plant is harvested before reaching maturity, it often lacks the potency of a fully-grown plant.)2) Look. A good bag of weed usually consists of medium to large buds with little or no stems. Kind buds may also have a crystalline quality that creates a "sparkle" under direct light. These buds will often be bright green with orange, red, or purple hairs. If the weed is brown, turn it down.3) Feel. Quality weed is usually soft, light, and sticky to the touch.4) "High." Finally, you can always tell a fine weed by the "high" you achieve after testing a sample. Great weed should inspire you creatively without that heavy "burnt-out" feeling sometimes associated with lesser quality marijuana.Keep in mind that these are only guidelines and not concrete rules. It's possible (although unusual) to find dirt weed that smells, looks, and feels great. Occasionally, a less knowledgeable pot smoker may be fooled.Too Dry
If you allow your weed to remain unprotected for long (exposed to air, heat, and light), it will become dry and brittle. When dry, your bud will burn too fast and the hits will be harsh. To keep your weed in prime condition, place your "stash" (supply of marijuana) in an airtight container or a plastic bag. However, even when you're careful, your buds can loose a little moisture. So, if you notice your weed is getting too dry, add a sliver of orange or lemon peel to your bag, and seal it up tight for a few hours. The weed will sap the water from the rind and become re-hydrated. (Be careful not to leave the peel in for too long, as it could mold and ruin your weed.)Too Wet
A less common, but more troublesome problem is wet weed. If you try to smoke weed that is too wet, the bud will burn slowly and won't stay lit. (This kind of saturated condition usually occurs when you don't give your homegrown enough time to dry.)Here are a few options to help you adjust the moisture
1) Leave the container open. If you aren't afraid of getting caught with your weed, simply leave your container open, exposed to air, heat and light. (Leaving your weed exposed to the elements can ruin the quality of the bud, so be careful not to leave it out longer than necessary.)2) Add paper. When you need to keep the weed hidden, add a finger-sized piece of paper to your stash. The paper will absorb some of the moisture from the buds. Then, remove the paper from the bag when you think the weed is ready to smoke. If the weed remains wet, continue to add paper (one piece at a time) until you reach the desired level of moisture.3) Wood containers. Placing your weed in a tightly sealed wood container will allow the pot to dry at a slow and steady pace.Sandwich Bags
1) Small amounts. Sandwich bags are the most frequently used containers for holding small amounts of weed. The sandwich bags of choice are the simple, non-zipping, pleated, plastic baggies found at all major grocery stores. This type of container will hold anywhere from an 1/8th to 4/8ths of an ounce. Before rolling the baggie for storage, the weed should be equally distributed along the bottom of the bag. Then, the bag can be rolled toward the top (rather like rolling a joint) until there is a 1 inch flap exposed. Finally, lick the flap and seal the baggie until further use.2) Large amounts. For large amounts of weed, it is often easier to use a medium to large, zipping, plastic bag. These are often sold as "freezer bags" and work very well for quantities of weed larger than an ounce.

Acting "High"
Never attract attention to yourself by pretending to be more stoned than you truly are. First of all, you won't fool anybody. Secondly, they won't invite you over again. And finally, people will talk about you behind your back. Enjoy your high, but don't flaunt it.
Mooching
Are you continually smoking other people's weed? If your answer is yes, you might be a "moocher." A moocher is someone who never supplies the pot, but is always there to smoke yours after a score. Once you have been labeled a moocher, it's hard to break free of the stereotype. But, by supplying the weed on occasion, you can avoid this issue completely.
On the other side of the coin, you must not let others mooch off you. When other people are cutting into your stash all the time, it becomes a burden to smoke at all. Every time you want to get high, there are people expecting you to supply them as well. Be generous with your weed, but remember: it's your weed, and you have the right to end their session at any time.
A stoner walks into a gas station and asks the dude at the counter, "Got any weed?" The man politely replied, "Um, no sir. We do not sell marijuana here." So he left.
The same guy comes back the next day and says, "Got any weed?" The man behind the counter, although slightly annoyed, patiently replied, "No sir. We don't sell marijuana." So the man went home.
He goes once again to the gas station. And again, he says to the guy working there, "Got any weed?" By this time the other dude was pissed. He yells, "You freakin' refer-lovin', pot-head burn-out! I told you, we don't sell that crap here! If you ever come back in here asking for that filthy crap again, I'll nail your freaking feet to the floor. Got it? Now beat it before I call the cops." So the stoner left.
The next day he went back to the same old place with a dopey smile on his face. He went to the cashier and said, "Got any nails?" The man hesitated, then replied, "um, no sir, we don't sell nails here." The stoner grinned. "Got any weed?"
So two potheads have been charged with possession :-( and both plead "no contest." The judge decides to be lenient on them and not give them any time if they spend the next 24 hours reforming evil drug users. (Must have been a first offense.) They return to the courthouse the next day and the judge asks them how many people they've gotten off drugs. The first guy says, "Twenty-four!" "Amazing," says Hizzoner, since that's about 12,000 times better than the statistics. "How'd you do it?" "Simple," says the head. "I just show them: 'O' - This is your brain; 'o' - this is your brain on drugs."
"Impressive," says the judge. Turning to the second head, he says, "And how did you fare?" "Yer honor, I saved 233 souls from the bonds of the evil weed." "And how did you manage that?" "Kinda the same as the other guy, 'cept I told people: 'o' - this is your asshole; 'O' - THIS is your asshole in prison."
French Inhale
This is a very cool technique that will prove you are a pot-smoking pro. Simply take a nice hit and then open your mouth (letting the smoke flow out slowly). Then, lightly inhale that smoke through your nose. If done right, the smoke will gradually flow out of your mouth and directly into your nose.
After the initial awe-inspiring inhale, you can draw the rest of the smoke into your mouth or continue to inhale through your nose until the hit is completely finished.
Mouth-Nose Exhales
There are two different ways to do this trick:
1) As with the previous tricks, begin by taking a nice hit from your smoking utensil of choice. Then, start the exhalation through your mouth, but switch to a nose exhalation half way through (while continuing to exhale through your mouth).
2) Vise-versa, you can do this trick by starting the exhalation through your nose then switching to a mouth exhalation (while continuing to exhale through your nose).
Disadvantages of a glass pipe:glass pipe1) Cost. Glass pipes are more expensive than metal pipes.2) Breakable. While most glass pipes can take a knock or two, they will shatter if dropped hard enough.3) Replacement parts. Glass pipes are one solid piece of glass. If you chip the pipe, you have to buy a new one.4) Harder to clean. Because you can't take a glass pipe apart, they are often harder to clean the metal pipes. Advantages of a glass pipe:1) Heat. Glass pipes don't heat up like metal pipes.2) Smoke. You can watch the smoke as it fills the chamber.3) Taste. Marijuana smoke tastes better from a glass pipe. (Just as beer tastes better from a bottle than from a can.)4) Color. Many glass pipes become richer in color with extended use.
