Smokers Etiquette 101
Smoking with your friends is always a fun occasion. It’s a time that you guys get to smoke, chill, relax and zone out. As long as everyone follows the rules, it is a good time for all. When people start breaking the rules they start to become one of the few people that no one wants to smoke with. Make sure you follow the rules at all times.
Shout outs to all of my twitter friends for helping me out with these suggestions. Love those guys. Here are the official Hail Mary Jane rules of etiquette while smoking.
- Rollers Rights - The person who rolls the joint/blunt lights it.
- Whoever brought the bud gets next.
- Always pass to the left.
- puff, puff, pass
- Bogarting is hanging on the joint for too long and is a big no no. This is a serious breach of etiquette.
- If you drop the blunt, you lose your turn.
- If when smoking, someone asks for a sip of your drink, you must give them some, dry mouth is horrible and tortuous.
- If you ask for a sip of someone’s drink, take only that and NOT a gulp.
- Always carry a roach clip.
- (Optional but nice) bring a bowl to put in on it
- If you’re choking, you need to pass it. You should either be puffing or passing when you have the blunt.
- Never be stingy with weed, you never know who will be there to save u when ur smokeless.
- Never ask to smoke someone elses weed, they’re most likely going to share if they know you smoke, stoners are nice
- If you are going to a cipha do not come empty handed. Sponsor something, even if its only roll ups.
- If you’re breaking it up, make sure you take out all the sticks and seeds.
- If a good friend runs out of weed and you have some spare, give it to him and he in turn will reciprocate in your time of need.
- No wet mouth! It’s very impolite to get the end of the joint wet with saliva.
Did I miss anything?

dont ever ever ever fuck up the rotation!
is you're getting smoked up you can't complain about the quality of the bud
Dude if u drop the blunt you still get to smoke we're all stoned shit happens that's just no cool…well in my circle that's how we do.
that was one of the first rules i learned… its disrespecting the weed
instead of always bringing a roach clip i would say always have a lighter on you.
Don't pay according to the amounts of hits you take. If its a 4 man blunt and a dub is 20 bucks, pay that 5 bucks and dont be a cheapo saying ur not taking as many hits as everyone else.
Or you could just smoke and get high and fuck all the etiquette bullshit……….amateurs
Number 4 and 5…Yes, but..
If the joint is shared with 3 people or more, this happens: guy puffs and passes the joint, immediately after getting it the next in line does the same and so on. In 10 seconds the joint is already going to the third in the ring……so destroying the joint and wasting good stuff.
When i get that joint which now possesses a good 1 inch ashworm, burnt on one side only and whatnot, i WILL hold it and let it cooldown for awhile. I haven't smoked that juicy haze at all when someone says i'm hogging it, then having to explain that obvious thing again,,..,., aargghh it's frustrating. It seems like i have to teach seasoned veterans on how to smoke. Men are much worse than women at this, which is weird. If the joint is properly rolled, it will die out without human assistance.
The correct etiquette is HOLD, PUFF, PUFF, PASS..
if your new to smoking dont be afraid to ask a guy you know that smokes how to smoke with the proper etiquette i swear when someone who is smoking for the first time and just tries to smoke without knowing the proper rules that just pisses me off i mean if you know the rules and mess up every now and then at least you are trying not just being completely retarded
nononononono you guys have got it all wrong… if you drop the blunt you still get to smoke it, just everyone smoking it with you gets to punch you in the arm
@ damien moore, of course you need proper etiquette when you smoke, otherwise good bud gets wasted and no one gets as high as they could have. The way you sound, you are the reason this list exists, because of non-knowing little fucks like you we all have to suffer.
* One rule I’d add would be: when rolling a dutch, peel the leaf off properly instead of splitting it. This way you can remove the cancer paper underneath along with extra paper that just makes the blunt taste like paper. Because without a proper roll your blunt is going to be fucked whether you have the right etiquette or not.
If you're smoking with friends, don't ignore them while you talk and text on your phone. Friends are there to talk to and have fun with.
Do not break the circle !!!
@ Damien moore, you must not get to smoke with to many people… I only say this because when you say "fuck all the etiquette bullshit……….amateurs" you are insulting a very vital part of the whole social aspect of smoking. I know a lot of people that would curb-stop you for even hinting that being respectful is bullshit.
i have a few issues with this list one is the never break rotation. if im the one who supplied all the herb and ur being a dauche or not listening to me. your getting skipped till i say so or if it’s a new bowl with a few to many heads I may ask for it to go to me first then put back in roation
second if its a blunt, puff puff pass gets annoying. learn to roll your blunts so you can puff on it for a minute but don’t bogart, me and my buddies smoke about a 1/4 inch of the blunt before we pass it, well thats before we started just putting the fucker in the bong
but back to puff puff. I cant puff like I use to where you take those deep rips, I can barley hit a bowl deep lung style (with out a ghoust/vacume/kill hit) with out coughing now cuz my throats so fucked, so when it comes down to it and im trying to get a decent hit and im outside I may exhale three times to get the proper hit, puff puff is really for amatures.
Along with the whole to the left idea. What if im throwing in more herb than anyone else and my seat happens to be to the right?
Rollers rights kinda go with the people. Ive been smoking for 3 years (im only 19 so sorry to all you vetrains) even though at times I was averaging five blunts a day I cant roll an L so I always have my friends do it. If they roll it and chill with it for five minutes I may take it from them and light it my self. This is a very BY BASIS move and should only be excuted when the person your smoking with understands what your doing.
Dropping the blunt should not be a reoccurring event but it should happen skipping the person usally isn’t as fun as what I like to do. If they do drop it request them to put out there smoking hand (usually the right) and slap it as hard as you feel necessary. I throw blunts across rooms if there not with in passing distance so its not really a concern for it to hit the ground. JUST DON’T BURN ANYTHING
And who the fuck needs a roach clip. Lick your fingers (not so there slobbery) and hold the blunt normally and hit it or put it out and throw it in the nearest piece of glass.
rule that should be added
DONT BURN ANY OF THE FURNITURE. we were mixing sheesh and herb and hte ass hole threw the still lit coal into the pickle jar ash tray that was on the floor. luckly it was on a rug and not the actual floor so we didnt damage the house just the rug the coal was hot enough to melt a decent size mark into the rug tho this could also go along with don’t touch the burn hot lighter to the couch. Or let the ember that fell outa the bowl reside on the carpet. Or burning the BACK seat ceiling, happened in my car… still pissed as fuck I hav e a burn mark over the back seat. I can get the front passing.
Don’t microphone, if your gona tell a story take a hit or two and pass.
I could make a separate section for cars really but heres some of my favorites. If it looks like a cop it’s a cop until we go past it. I have gotten arrested twice for upms(both were reduced to a different violation) and I don’t need another Id rather be sketch for 30 seconds then have to deal with getting another one.
If you do get pulled over. Give them everything but the scale. Unless its over 25 grams (state pending)Ive gotten out of upms because I handed them the bowl and weed, cops are just as lazy as stoners.
If your in car, ask for the ash tray. Same goes for houses. Even tho it may look dirty the floor isn’t always the ashtray.
Oh and one for the 77 things u do when your stoned. Write out redicouly long posts to websites you’ll likely never visit again.
reading the ridiculously long comments that other stoners left on random stoner websites, haha.
ok one thing that is irritating as hell is wen u and ur homies are blazen and u get ur lighter pocketed and u dont realize untill u start to sober up and got to fix that and dont got any fire. its a masive kill joy
u forgot a big one… when blazing a bowl let everyone get greens dont just torch the whole bowl if you hit the corners of the bowl at least 4 people can get greens(obviously depending on bowl size) try it sometime its easier than one might think. "recommended for all smoking levels novice-veteran" you get more out of it this way
agreed, i cant stand when my friends just catch the whole damn thing on fire. especially if its all we got. always conserve and corner the bowl. and don't worry, you'll still get high.
another thing, is it is very very rude to complain about the weed if your not the one providing. alright, the weed may not be the best this time but its what we got, im letting you smoke with me, don't whine. bitch haha.
i follow all these rules, but there is one that i believe deserves a high spot on this fine list, and that would be, when smoking in a vehicle, DONT CRACK THE DAMN WINDOWS!
dude…………………lol!!!
going on with the 3 people example, lets say 2 rounds have gone up now its my homi turn, but hes full and cant take more in the moment as so me and the other dude… 1.do i keep the joint while burning (waste it). 2.turn it off for couple of minutes (wtf for?)?????? what does the etiquette say for that
after reading this weed comment i do positively agree with one thing…. WATCH OUT THE FUCKING FURNITURE!!!
and also puff puff pass is about equity, keeping the balance…… get it?! not that bs of amateur you said
Party foul…droppin the blunt or any buzz kill gets you some punishment every group has its own but you still get to smoke
dude why would you not want to crack the windows when you’re driving? unless you’re parked or driving in an unusually secure location, it’s much sketchier to be rolling around with a fuckin hotbox than to have a tiny bit of smoke you can’t even see drifting out. also people smoking cigarettes crack their windows even in the rain, you might as well put up a sign.
however, if you are in a secure parking spot then yes, hotboxing is the best.
i try to have both on me… and a one-hitter just in case.
DO NOT…i repeat…DO NOT invite a stranger in to a smoke circle and offer up the blazeage if the blunt(or whatever) is not yours! sooo annoying! i would never disrespect you or your circle by inviting a stranger in and offer up your smoke. its rude and may cause the owner of the stash discomfort or embarrassment if they have to say no! besides, if the stranger hangs out a moment he/she might get invited in anyways…like said before, stoners are nice!
me and my friend actually made a game out of this. we call it green hit. we try to make each other take the last green hit by smoking the sides and such. i won by proving my smoking skills and actually got my flame to swoop under the last green hit. MAD SKILLZ! its fun and shows deep respect for your smoking partner.
even if your stoned off your ass, there is no excuse for dropping the blunt or joint.
i hate the people that try to act like they can roll and they really can't, so you're stuck waiting for them to finish and light up. thats the most annoying thing besides the people that ask me if i'm high every 5 mins.
I think it should be noted that many rules on this list can be broken if you want. Mix it up a bit. Part of having fun being a stoner is being able to think for yourself and decide how you want to smoke. Me and my crew play rock, paper, scissors for greens, regardless of who brought the bud or packed it. And don't forget to call deuces. Keep smoking fun, and break the rules from time to time, just as long as you're not being a scheissty mother.
I think these guys pretty much covered all the basics

Start burning from one edge and keep it cherried. lasts twice as long and everyone gets good smoke
