For newcomers to the joint, but also for experienced smokers who sometimes forget good manners, here are a few attitudes that irritate or can irritate the sensibilities of other smokers on the firecracker.

Falling asleep on the joint

Not everyone has the same rules about the number of taffes before to turn. Some keep the joint during a conversation. If the guy holding the joint seems to be fully into his story, the next smoker sees his share diminish at the end of each sentence. Others forget they have a €4 joint in their hand and smoke it like a fag. You have to share a joint.

The only exception is pers’.

Shooting like a Cow Boy

«- Hey, can I pull a little bar on your joint?»
«- yeah, don't worry, take 3 /4 lattes».

ADVERTISING

Paf, in 3 lattes, the person who didn't put anything in your joint has just burnt it out. Generally speaking, it's Player 3 (who paid for his leaf or cigarette) who ends up with an old lady's ass or a super carrot. You've got to share a joint, but you've got to share it fairly. What's more, it's always a pleasure to find your little treasure at the end of the round to finish it off with dignity.

Lipstick and cardboard humidification

Ladies, please don't wear lipstick before a booze party. Inveterate droolers, please swallow or spit beforehand. We recommend Turbo consumption for both types of person.

Harassment of the fracasse type

« - You're dark »
«- you look really stoned.».

These phrases are among those that plunge the smoker into the bad-trip of the joint. Unless the person in question has mastered their stoned state, they may feel paranoid, especially if they have to pass tests such as arriving in their parents» living room, or sitting in the front row of a maths class (of which we disapprove). For beginners, there's no point in asking »are you high?". The answer is irrevocable. Tolerance and understanding are the order of the day in the smoking community.

Squatter

You have to share the joint. That's true. On the other hand, you, the smart aleck who only brings his mouth to smoke, we've calculated you right from the start. After a while, the squatter is bound to be refused access to the smoking table. We've all got a pal who never pays for his drink, or who calls you up and says »I've got a fag/leaf, do you have any gear? It's up to you to find them.
