Could someone explain the 3 tokes and pass thing?

[EclipseFour20]

I have read research that suggest up to 90% of the time a joint is lit--no one is puffing, rather it is "slipstreaming" away. Which kinda makes sense, say 5 seconds for a normal puff, and what??, maybe 10-20 puffs per joint (some roll fatties and others roll pinners)? That equates to 1-2 minutes of "casual puffing" and how long does it take to smoke a joint (including the normal stoner babble)? LOL, in some circle of friends it took 5-10 minutes to smoke up a joint (no hotboxing). Now if we used the legendary Oat Willies "Power Hitter", that joint would be gone in less than 3 minutes...with zero slipstream smoke. Ahhh, those were the days we would smoke our brains out until we were "straight", lol!

if anyone stresses me while im smoking my joint I tell them to roll their own, I will smoke as long as I want on it and talk as much as I want, but it also depends who im smoking with, if its with good friends who always share their weed I will just roll more joints or tell them to roll one for themself out of my weed. If its people that arent so good at sharing I smoke atleast half the joint before passing.
if someone else passes me a joint I just take a few puffs to be polite and passes it on

I think part of the different smoking habits between europeans and americans is because historicaly the penalty for being caught with cannabis in america used to be alot harsher than in europe, I always thought of the "wasted smoke" coming from the joint while I was just holding it as the angels share, my american friends would go crazy over it cause they didnt want to waste any bit of smoke, I just rolled another if the first wasnt enough, but to me its not only about getting stoned, its about the flavour and the pleasure of just relaxing and apreciating some good weed (like a wine or whisky connoisseur would enjoy a good wine or whisky) and someone consistently bugging you for the joint ruins that

and 2nd generation joints are just disgusting, its in the same category as people scraping out the black goo from their bong and smoking it

^^^ we obviously didn't grow up in the same town. we wouldn't even smoke with you acting that much of a "dick" (i put it in quotes because that's what we would think, not saying you're a dick for your smoking preferences) no matter how flame the weed was. it's more about the ritual than who's weed it was and how much it cost and who deserves to smoke some. if you're one of us you can join the circle. pass to the left, 3 and pass, 2 if it's a joint or more than 4 heads on a blunt.

1 blunt 4 people, 3 hits and pass, everyone should get 2-3 turns. unless you fuckin up rotation.

Puff puff pass, Joints are rolled with just cannabis, a spliff has tobacco in it and a blunt is rolled with a tobacco leaf. I prefer tubes my self, joints don't seem to do it for me.

I have always been very generous with my weed amongst the people who deserved it, and I would rather have you roll a joint with my weed than asking me to pass the joint before im ready to do so.
I have been percieved as a dick by many people, but its useualy the kind of people I dont want to be around so its fine by me.

One of my friends often comes by and smokes, he has never brought any weed because mine are always alot better, but if he could get something as good I know he would offer it, and therefor I dont mind, its more an attitude thing than a "who pay for what" thing, if I judge you to be one of the good guys i´d gladly share my last weed with you

You guys seem to have rules. Way too many. Maybe I'm not used to smoking with folks who aren't growers but I'd tell you to roll your own damn joint and chill out.

If it is in a spot where it is just friends chilling around the house, then yeah, roll your own and smoke all you want... But if it is out and about in a social setting when you have a couple of doobs on you for a concert or out back at the bar, then it is puff puff pass... And hopefully multiple heads spark up and start passing other doobs.

And never out tobacco with the weed unless it is the wrap you rolled with.. Tobacco mixed in just sounds painful and blasphemous.

Joints are very wasteful. Doing "3 drag Indian" as we used to call it, is cost effective.

yup joints are wasteful, all the weed that burns off between hits.

as far as taking 2 or 3 hits before passing???

when we were driving and stoning (often) less passing meant a way less chance of dropping the joint in a moving car, plus we always made sure it was the front passenger passing to the driver, again limiting the chances of drops.

@ college we'd take several hits before passing to make it look less obvious, 2 or 3 tokes and then a discreet pass; hopefully to any casual observers seeing someone hit on that joint several times consecutively might be construed as being a cigarette, hey, it must've worked as we never got busted tokin' up on the grassy knoll.......

of course if it's 5 or 6 stoners hittin' on a couple of skinny joints it'd be the old 1 toke & pass.

I said more then 3 rounds gets long

2 or 3 is norm , but honestly, the weed is so strong that no one needs to fight about it

I dont mind really, but when someone lets it smoke while doing something else, talking, then i will just let know

But thats if its my weed or i pitched in

this is my point. the ones that need/take to have 3-4 hits before someone asks them to pass, IMO, usually have brick weed themselves and must have those 3-4 hits, for effect, because they think that shit joint may not make it back to them.. as for me, when I burn, the joints are big enough for 6 people to get destroyed on, not pinners.

I have one friend that buys the shit weed and when he comes out doesn't bring any to the party because he says hed rather smoke the 'kind', which he does not understand how some would pay that much for weed. OTOH, he is the first one to throw a party at his house and foot the bill.. go figure.

ok I think there is no ''right'' answer here

for everyone or every situation but in general without politics

 

[DuskrayTroubador]

We go by the honor system here... Hit it enough times to do yourself some good, then recognize that we all have the same mission and pass it along.

FWIW the honor code is great because a) it's immediately apparent whenever someone new is a douchebag and b) one isn't taking big long two or three hits. Long, sustained hits make the joint burn quicker and can lead to runs. Quick, short, multiple puffs don't do that.

there are too many rules in society already, why surround yourself with more?

not a 'rule'... edict.
