For something that’s been around since the beginning of time, you would think it would be less taboo. Cannabis usage and its legalities is a huge topic in the world and although some may have their viewpoints, nearly 48% of Americans have said they tried it at some point. Besides, if it wasn’t so popular would we have the annual holiday, 4/20?
Mainly popular in the United States, 4/20 is a term referring to April 20th, which has become a holiday that celebrates and promotes the use of cannabis. The origins of this date are unclear, but it is believed to have started in the 1970s with a group of high school students in California who would meet at 4:20 p.m. to smoke. Over time, the term has become associated with cannabis culture and is celebrated by some individuals with festivals, concerts, and other events.
Despite the good vibes cannabis may bring, there are a few etiquette rules when it comes to enjoying cannabis with friends. Check em’ out below:
*marijuana is illegal in many places, and individuals should always follow their local laws and regulations*

This should be common sense, you shouldn’t even be around others, let alone smokin’ with them.

Who would want to smoke out of your used bong/bowl which you haven’t cleaned in 4 months? Not I.

We do not want to hear about your newest discovered strains, your brand-new grinder, or the specific brand of papers you ONLY smoke.
7. Either Put In Or Roll Sum’ Up

Unless it’s been agreed upon mutually, throw some money to your friend whose stash you’ve been smoking. If not, what did you bring to the party?
8. Don’t Peer Pressure Your Friends

No one wants to inhale mini nuggets and die from coughing. We also don’t want the blunt falling apart in our hands, lit.
10. Save the “this one time” Stories

Trust me when I say your friends do not want to hear repetitive stories about your favorite moments while you were high.
11. Don’t Pocket The Lighter

We’ve all been there. Just don’t forget, and walk off with your friends lighter.
12. Don’t Spark in Someones Car or House Without Asking

This is obvious.
