The Dead’s Guide to Pot Smoking Etiquette

By Steve

1. The person who rolls the joint, gets to light it.
2. Pass the joint around in a circular fashion.
3. Do not hang on the joint for too long – this is called a ‘Bogart’ and is a serious breach of etiquette.
4. If when smoking, someone asks for a sip of your drink, you must give them some – dry mouth is horrible and tortuous.
5. If you ask for a sip of someone’s drink, take only that and NOT a gulp.
6. It’s very impolite to pass someone the very end of a joint.
7. Try not to get the end of the joint wet with saliva.
8. If a good friend runs out of weed and you have some spare, give it to him and he in turn will reciprocate in your time of need.
9. Don’t skin up using someone else’s gear without asking.

Jerry Garcia lived by these rules so follow them like the word of the lord. If you really want to get down and dirty with the sticky green then check out Sirius Radio’s all new 24/7 Grateful Dead Channel at www.sirius.com/gratefuldead.
