I smoke marijuana frequently, in fact I'm holding a bong as i type this. Yeah, it's fun. Even better with friends.

I don't really like cigarettes unless I've been drinking, they just kind of gross me out.

Why is this thread back?

Wings of Fire 03-11-2012 10:38 AM

Because MA wanted to brag about his disgusting looking wog cigarettes.

skychase2rebirth 03-11-2012 01:33 PM

I prefer being "Legendary" wearing a smoking than "being cool" smoking. True story.

THANKS!

tell us something we don't know.

my mate gave me some Indian cigarettes last night called Beedi's.

i quite like them. they smoke just like an unfiltered rolled cigarette and can go out just as often, although a bit harsher. some people put it's harshness down to being wrapped in a tobacco leaf and don't like them because of this. apparently they stink too, but my nose is so shit i honestly can't tell you what they smell like. i have a feeling they smell like strong cigars or something. but anyway, they're different.

I got so sick after smoking some of these. now I can't even stand the stench. also I don't wanna know what's all in there.
I prefer my weed with glass and sand

bonging with friends is not really my thing; a spliff is much more appropriate.

fuck you and your disgusting black-sludge coffee, heathen.

but in all seriousness, that's just me. i like to try most things at least once, with the exception of a few things i fear or strongly dislike. i believe experimenting and playing with your senses and perceptions broadens the mind and ages the skin, and i have no problem with either. aesthetics have no effect on me.

I wasn't trying to imply that bidis have anything to do with canabis, I only wanted to transit from your quote to Mr. Bungle's one. I arranged the text all wrong. I don't smoke, except weed.
it didn't work so forget it

no worries. to be honest that's what i thought you meant when i first read it anyway, i just second guessed myself.

Daxter King 03-11-2012 09:10 PM

Weed is great. Tobacco isn't so bad either.

sheridanm962 03-12-2012 01:50 AM

I hate smoking, it's even a major turn off seeing women who smoke.

Mac Sirloin 03-12-2012 10:24 AM

Haven't smoked anything in about 15 days. I might smoke up with my sisters on my 20th birthday, but I feel better having known I'm more or less clean and I have more money to spend. Prior to my sittle sabbatical I was smoking between 2-6 grams a week, give or take. Breathing more clearly, finding myself writing again. It's a good thing.

But goddamn I could go for whatever those things MA posted are.

Ridg3 03-12-2012 10:41 AM

I smoke something like 4 grams a week if only I buy it. Collectively, the weight would be pushing 5-6 grams if other people hand me a spliff. For now I have to put all that on the shelf because of this irritating cough that just won't go away.

After this cough epidemic passes over my circle I might just head to Amsterdam for a weekend. Try me some of that Amnesia Haze. Or even a joint that's worth about fifty quid.

Nate 03-12-2012 04:44 PM

I went on a date with a guy last week. He told me afterwards that I'd earned several points by telling the waiter "We'll sit outside as long as we're not near anyone smoking."

Ridg3 03-14-2012 07:14 AM

I decided last night to give up smoking. After thinking long and hard about it I've realized that I've been smoking because I could smoke, if you know what I mean? And while I'll be giving up the smokes I'll not be giving up smoke, which means that even though I'm quitting fags I'll still have to dabble in it to roll myself a doobie.

So this is Day 1 of "Operation: Purification."

Haven't even been hankering for a ciggie all day, and after 8-9 years of smoking I thought I might be looking for one. But I think it's more of a test of character than any other reason why I gave up because I repeatedly tell people that if I want to quit I'll quit and that's it. Hopefully this attitude will stick with me coming into the third or fourth week. I managed to nail drinking on the head, why can I not do the same to smoking?

I've got a master plan for every time I'm jonesing for a smoke. Every time I get the urge, I'm going to learn something new on the guitar. Maybe shift my addiction? IS it possible? I hope so. Wish me luck, guiz!

MA 03-14-2012 10:59 AM

QUITTER

nah, go for it. good luck.

Mr. Bungle 03-14-2012 05:49 PM

I like unfiltered camel cigarrettes. They taste so much different from the standard nicotene cigs you get from your local convenience store. They're the only thing I'm really willing to smoke (unless I'm drunk).

BoneyHead95 03-16-2012 09:08 AM

I like to think that somking is a way of commit suicide. It just takes a long time to kill you...

Wings of Fire 03-16-2012 09:09 AM

No.

This, only with more derision.

MeechMunchie 03-16-2012 01:15 PM

NO.

Bullet Magnet 03-16-2012 01:40 PM

That's stupid. Suicide is deliberate. Smoking is more comparable to drunk driving up a mountain.

But if someone continues to smoke whilst also being fully aware that it is lethal in the long-term, that's also deliberate.

Amendment: the outcome is desired.

Hey man, if I can drunk drive up a mountain once or several times a day for years and still be fine, well that sounds pretty cool.

Bullet Magnet 03-20-2012 04:40 AM

So far.

STM 03-20-2012 09:39 AM

Quitting smoking for me was pretty damn easy, I've had one cigarette since September 2011, and that's debatable, because I have no recollection of the evening where I supposedly lit up at all. =P

Crashpunk 03-21-2012 09:18 AM

My mate said to me on a random bad day he wants to start smoking and then quit to say he has actually achieved something in life.

How fucking depressing is that.

Mr. Bungle 03-21-2012 10:34 AM

Recently bought a corn cob pipe. Anybody here use one before? I'm looking for tips on keeping it clean, lighting techniques (lighter vs. match), etc. This probably isn't the best place to look, but thought I'd ask anyways.

Recently bought a corn cob pipe. Anybody here use one before? I'm looking for tips on keeping it clean, lighting techniques (lighter vs. match), etc. This probably isn't the best place to look, but thought I'd ask anyways.

i haven't got a corn cob pipe, but i have a small collection of pipes and know how to keep them clean. you can use a scraping tool like a small knife or go for a specialist tool like this (which is what i use) and clean the pipe bowl with it by simply scraping away excess ash and tobacco, but being careful not to damage the inside of the bowl. next thing to use is pipe cleaners. use them to clean the stem (the stem should come off leaving your pipe in two pieces), feeding the pipe cleaner all the way through and moving it about. then finally clean the stem leading into the pipe bowl using the same method. give it a quick blow to blow out any remaining ash or spit (gross, i know) and you're about done.

when it comes to lighting, i just use a normal disposable gas lighter. this is because if it goes out when i only have half a bowl of tobacco left, i can turn the gas up to maximum and reach into the bowl and reignite it using the flame. it's hard to do this with a petrol zippo lighter or something similar, which is why i use a bog standard disposable one when smoking my pipe. some people say using matches is better to light your pipe because you don't get the taste of petrol from gas lighters, but i have never in my life tasted petrol whilst smoking a pipe, no matter what it's been lit with. i think that's more of a class distinction and general snobbishness than actual valid preference. also, using matches to light your pipe will become tedious when first learning how to pack tobacco (or whatever you're using) into your pipe (which is fucking hard), because i can guarantee it will go out numerous times while smoking. i'm still learning myself. it can't be packed too tightly, but at the same time it can't be too loose and it can't be too damp either. it's an art. i've been taught to light all the tobacco on the surface while puffing shallowly to get rid of excess moisture and let the tobacco expand (pipe tobacco expands and unravels when lit so you need to get rid of this), then let it go out or gently put it out, softly but firmly tamp the tobacco down in the bowl to make it fairly firm in density again (due to the expansion), light it again and smoke away.

in short, get some pipe cleaners and maybe a multi tool, and stick to using lighters unless you really want to use matches. experiment. it's a nice hobby to get into if you're interested, and there's plenty of sites out there with a rich variety of different tasting and smelling tobaccos, as well as plenty of guides on how to use and maintain your pipe.
