Be Polite With Your Pot by Using Cannabis Etiquette

Let's talk about keeping our pot elbows off the table, shall we?

So, as I'm sure you're all aware, both Colorado and Washington state have passed laws that not only legalize marijuana for medical use, but also allow for the freedom of choice when it comes to recreational pot use. And when we zoom in on the other 48 states, the number of states that embrace medical cannabis -- 20, if you include Washington D.C. -- is even greater. The tide sure is a'changin'.

But with the mainstream acceptance of cannabis on the rise, there are bound to be a number of questions left unanswered. Voids left blank on who wins in the showdown between federal cannabis laws vs. state laws, and questions on the differences between decriminalization vs. legalization are all very valid discussion topics. And out of the ashes of those discussions, well past the practicalities of laws and fines, lies yet another question waiting to be answered: the question of pot etiquette.

Yes, pot etiquette. It's not a new subject, mind you. The rules of proper pot smoking have been around for ages, and have been passed along by underground smoke signals and carrier pigeons from one stoner group to the next.

4. Don't push down the weed in the bong/bowl after a hit

Hate that. Makes every hit tastes ashy.

6. Agreed, although I can understand on a small pipe.

However, I never could figure out what was going on when we broke out the hookah. There's nothing like getting 18 people on a waterbed in a 100 square foot bedroom puffing away like it was the last bowl left on the planet.
