Blunts

So you always walk in the gas station, 711, corner store, and you notice those cigar wrappers behind the counter. Curious to what they are?? Well those are cigar wraps to make blunts. Well wraps to roll your weed in thus making it a blunt lol. As with papers, there are several brands. Swisher Sweets, Zig Zag, Game, Dutch Master, Backwoods, etc... I'll briefly discuss and drop some knowledge about the  different types, my favorite, and what I prefer.
Before I go into that I'll inform you that blunt wrappers are tobacco so when you do roll up with them you are smoking tobacco. Reasoning why some people smoke blunts is either for flavor or the extra kick to tobacco gives the high.

-Cigarillos(Swisher Sweets, Zig Zag, White Owl, Game)
These right here are basically small cigars. They are good for their flavor and are very easy to roll. One reason why I like smoking these and blunts in general is because of how slow they burn. Also these are cheap, you can get 2 for $1 and even 3 sometimes. These burn slow, have a good scent, and also gives a good flavor. After smoking these I always smell my fingers because they smell so good. One negative about this is that its kinda harsh and hurts my throat sometimes. Also you have to be careful when the blunt is getting small because the wrap gets real hot and can burn your fingers. Swisher Sweets Grape, White Owl White Grape are my two favorites. White Owl wraps provide a stronger taste to the weed than Swishers. Dutch Master Cigarillo Vanilla flavor is another great one.









Cigars(Dutch Master, Phillies, Game)

This blunt wrap is used to roll if you are rolling a lot of weed, 1/8 or more. This is because these are bigger and have more space for weed. They go for around $2 or $3. I personally never rolled one or smoked my weed with a cigar primarily because I usually roll 1gram blunts not 3grams. But I have friends that do and Ive seen videos. In those videos I did see, these blunts require more time to roll because of its size and theres a leaf you have remove prior and then reapply at the end which is just a lot of work for a lazy guy like me. I would not recommend it simply for the fact that I like to roll my weed quick and smoke it. But if you do decide to try it out, I would recommend Dutch Master Vanilla.

                                                   

-Backwoods

I be smoking dope and you know backwoods what I roll Haha...These here by far are my favorite and if you havent noticed, these are favored by many rappers. Why? you may ask... Well I like these because of the flavor, the taste, the tobacco kick, the scent, and how they burn. These are most expensive and is rolled with just a tobacco leaf so you have to be real gentle with these when rolling. Around where I live, 711 sells a single pack for $1.50 and 5 pack for around $8 or $9. I get my 5 pack from a deli for $5. As I said before, these are rolled with just a tobacco leaf, Cigars and Cigarillos are rolled with a stronger tobacco material. That makes these much harder to roll and I would not recommend a newbie to try rolling these by themselves for their first time. If you do, buy a 5 pack because you will mess up. Even though these are my fave, there are cons to backwoods. One issue I have is that it may have holes in the wrap before you roll. Another issue I always have is that it unravels when it smokes. These sometime have trouble sticking together and if its not done right it unravels while smoking and then you have to babysit the blunt which is very annoying. Other than that these are my go to. Honey Berry purple back is where its at.

Well I said I would be brief but I guess not lol. But hopefully this helps you decide which wrap to use if you decide to smoke blunts. Backwoods are the way to go!!

The Transition....

So you are slowly transitioning to an persistent weed smoker. You've gotten hold of your local drug dealer and you're now buying on a weekly basis. Here are some weed smoker necessities (Fast Links are embedded within bulletins):

-Rolling Tray

  You need a flat surface to lay your weed out and a tray works best. Some people use their laptops, notebooks, desk, etc...But it you dont want weed all over your counter, a rolling tray is very helpful. They come in small and large sizes

-Grinder 
Some people like to break the weed with their hands but a grinder is much more conventional and easier. I would recommend a metal grinder because plastic ones will break if you got that sticky weed. If you want to keep the kief, a 3 piece or 4 piece grinder is good.

 

-Rolling Papers 

You may not know how to roll yet but theres tons of youtube vids that can teach you, thats how I learned. I would suggest getting these from amazon because they sell bundles way cheaper than they do in stores. There are tons of different brands and different papers with flavors, but Raw papers are top in my list. 

-Container

Now if you got that dank, loud, fire, you will need something to keep it in because it will smell up your room quick. That little plastic baggy will not contain the dank. A vacuum sealed container works great. 

This is a basic list of items needed when you start you smoking. Do you have to get these items, NO, but they would make life a little more easy. For those who are not great rollers yet but like smoking a joint, I recommend a rolling machine. Or you can try an herbal vaporizer which I will talk more about in a later post.

Your First Time Sparking Up :)

So this may not be your first time around weed. Your friends smoke it all the time and you've always looked at them like fcking potheads or you were never curious about it. Thats how it was for me lol. I always said I dont smoke Im an athlete....Well let me tell you now, athletes smoke. Im not only referring to student athletes but professional as well... Anyway this time curiosity has you wondering...how does being high feel?? And before I go any farther, weed is NOT bad for you. Dont take this the wrong way, Im not saying to smoke weed but if you do decide to do drugs, Marijuana is one I would recommend. Its WAYYY better than alcohol in my opinion but I'll save that discussion for later.

Your wondering how it feels to be high so you finally smoke with your friends for the first time. I was 19 the first time I smoked and it was a blunt. It was 4/20 and Im like fck it. The blunt came my way I took a hit and the taste was very unsatisfying. First thought in my mind was how people do this all the time when it tastes this bad lol. I dont know whether it was good weed or not for I was a weed virgin, but Im pretty sure it wasnt reggie. Anyway I did not feel the high, I dont think I was doing it right. That day I smoked like 6 times with different people and they were excited that I was actually smoking lol. But I did not feel high at all, which happens for first timers because they dont know how to do it right.That made me want to keep smoking cause I wanted to feel this great high feeling that my friends speak of. Its funny how all your life you've been inhaling in exhaling, but when it comes to smoking weed you dont know how to inhale lmao.

Some friends don't always teach you the right way to smoke so I'll try my best to do so here along with giving you tips lol
My advice for first time smokers:

• I would suggest smoking with papers (Raw Papers, Elements, Bob Marley, etc.) because they are less harsh than blunts.
• Inhale the smoke, dont swallow the smoke lol. After taking a hit and the smoke is in your mouth, open your mouth just a little bit and inhale. This will allow the THC to fill your lungs and you'll feel it in there. 
• To prevent coughing, inhale all the smoke in one smooth motion. Ive noticed the reason I cough is because I try to exhale while Im still inhaling and its like a road block in your throat. The hot air tingles and then youll be coughing your lungs out. Breathe like you would in a yoga class. Inhale, hold it for a sec or two, then releaseeee.
• Lastly, enjoy the weed. Dont think too much about negatives because your heart rate increases when your high and doing so will just make it go faster. Now your having a panic attack and that will just ruin your high completely, which I experienced once and it was horrible haha.

So my first time sparking up the loud pack was not my last and may not be yours neither. You've just planted the beginnings of a "pothead" seed. Now will you let that seed get some sunlight and water?
