The Basics of Smoking Weed: A Beginner’s Guide

If you’re new to cannabis, understanding how to smoke it properly is essential for a smooth and enjoyable experience. The most common methods include joints, blunts, pipes, and bongs. Let’s break these down:

  • Joints: Essentially cannabis rolled in a cigarette paper. Start by grinding your cannabis, rolling it up with paper (and a filter, if you prefer), and lighting it. Take slow, steady puffs, and remember to wait and assess how it’s affecting you before continuing.
  • Blunts: Similar to joints but made with cigar wraps, often containing nicotine. While the experience is more potent due to the tobacco leaf, it’s worth noting that the nicotine and other chemicals in the wrap can introduce health risks.
  • Pipes: A handheld device where you pack ground cannabis into a small bowl. Lighting the cannabis and inhaling through the pipe provides a more direct, clean smoke.
  • Bongs: These devices use water to filter the smoke, making it smoother and cooler to inhale. They are larger and more intricate than pipes but offer a satisfying experience with cleaner hits.

No matter the method, always make sure you’re in a comfortable space, and remember to inhale slowly and stay hydrated throughout the session. Learn more about Pure Roots
