When it comes to enjoying a group smoking session with a bong, following proper etiquette is essential to create a harmonious and enjoyable atmosphere. In this article, we will outline the dos and don’ts of bong usage in a group setting, covering topics such as passing etiquette, packing the bowl, and maintaining cleanliness. By following these etiquette rules, you will be well-equipped to offer a smooth and enjoyable group smoking sesh.
You might think that the bong will become less popular as the cannabis business develops and smoking technology advances. You would be wrong. Here are some guidelines for proper bong usage.
Most cannabis users keep their water-filtering gadgets for a variety of reasons:
- Compared to smoking joints or pipes, it is smoother.
- It is an artistic work that serves a purpose and reflects the owner’s character.
- It is a shared, social experience.
- Tradition! One of those cannabis customs that simply won’t go away is this one.
Waterpipes, often known as bongs, are popular in group smoking sessions. Keep the following factors in mind, if you are using them in your friend group:
Take it easy: There’s no need to fill your lungs with smoke. You don’t want to cough up a lung on your first ride, especially. Light the herb inside the bowl, wrap your lips while using the mouthpiece, then carefully inhale until you feel the smoke flood your lungs. Then, before breathing out, hold your breath for a couple of seconds.
Pass to the Left: After you’ve taken a turn (one of two solid drawings), pass the bong carefully to the person to your left. Why? Who knows? It’s just how cannabis society behaves politely. You make sure that everyone gets their turn and receives what they need by continually passing in the same direction. Pass the lighter along, too.
Clearing the Smoke: When taking a hit from a waterpipe in a group, it is important to clear the chamber completely before passing it to the next person. Clearing the chamber means inhaling the smoke until the bong is free of smoke, ensuring that the next person receives a fresh and clean hit. This not only promotes good hygiene but also enhances the overall experience for everyone involved.
Handling with Care: Waterpipes can be delicate, especially when passed around in a group setting. It is crucial to handle the bong with care to avoid accidental breakage or damage. When passing the bong, hold it securely by the base or designated hand grips to ensure a steady and safe transfer. Additionally, be mindful of the distance between the bong and other objects to prevent accidental collisions.
Sharing is Caring: In a group smoking session, it is customary to contribute to the communal experience. If you are participating in a group smoking session with a waterpipe, consider bringing your own smoking material to share or contribute to the session. This creates a sense of community and ensures that everyone can enjoy the time spent together.
Avoid Peer Pressure: It’s never a good idea to try to push someone to do something, in this case, to smoke, if they are aware of their limits. Peer pressure isn’t cool. Don’t break the mood by pushing someone’s boundaries, since that is how people become uncomfortable or get “greened out.” Acceptance and compassion are the foundations of cannabis culture. As a result, it’s important to respect others’ decisions. Making somebody feel uneasy while working is considered demeaning. Keep in mind that everyone is affected by cannabis differently. Respecting non-smokers in the area is just as vital as respecting the preferences of those participating in the sesh.
Cleaning and Maintenance: Waterpipes used in large groups tend to develop more residue and dirt. It is critical to keep the water pipe clean in order to provide a comfortable and sanitary smoking experience for everyone. Regularly empty and refill the water, completely rinse the bong after each use, and do a full cleaning to remove any build-up. This level of cleanliness not only improves flavor but also lowers the chance of inhaling toxic contaminants.
Conclusion
In summary, waterpipes are usually used in group smoking sessions, and adhering to proper etiquette is crucial for a smooth and interesting experience. By respecting the rotation, clearing the smoke, handling the bong with care, sharing contributions, and maintaining cleanliness, participants can create a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere during group smoking sessions. Remember, the goal is to create a positive and inclusive environment where everyone can relax, enjoy, and share in the communal experience of using a water pipe.
