Smoking etiquette part 1

When smoking a joint, a general rule of thumb is whoever rolls it, hits it first. Why you ask? Remove the person who rolled it from the picture and what are you left with? No joint. It’s likely that whoever rolled it contributed the product within it, so at the rollers discretion, he or she is allowed to offer the first toke to another member of the group. However, if someone else threw down for the joint, it is customary to offer him or her right of way before other members of the group, after the roller takes their hit. Otherwise, if you didn’t roll or help contribute, sit back and wait until the joint is passed to you.

Bowl

As for a bowl, the first hit traditionally goes to the owner of the piece. When smoking from a bowl, it is a common courtesy to “corner it” on the first hit. This is when you place the lighter on one side of the bowl and manage to only singe a small amount of the fresh bud, thus leaving the next person a fresh area of product. If the person providing the bud is different than the person who owns the bowl, the provider should receive the first hit on the 2nd packing of the bowl. If there ends up being a third or fourth packing of the bowl, the first hit of the new bowl goes to the last individual who did not get a hit.
