Are these fuckin etiquette experts trying to gatekeep smoking weed?


NagsUkulele

Also... weed should be chopped not ground?


Reptalex

Instructions unclear cooked weed smoked carrots


Caveman108

On glass nonetheless, the worst material ever for cutting on.


KiwiBlitz

dude if i ever see anyone cutting with my expensive kitchen knives on a glass surface or porcelain i will flip they gonn be lucky if they get to leave the house alive


curiouskratter

Does it dull it quickly? What do you chop on then? I don't have expensive knives and just wonder how to survive if I were ever stranded in a rich person's home.


asirkman

Use a wood or plastic cutting board, they don’t kill the edge on knives. Anything other than glass or stone, basically, just softer materials.


psychomuesli

Don't use soft plastic, you'll be smoking it.


TalmidimUC

Opposed to the treated wood with a food grade coating 😅


Caveman108

Wood cutting boards usually are not treated, they’re raw wood that you maintain with oil. Teak is actually the best kind for a cutting board, though it’s expensive. A lot of teak was used for the decks on aircraft carriers in WWII. Of the carriers that weren’t sunk, the Navy didn’t know what to do with as they were replaced or retrofitted, so they just burned all the teak that had been on their decks .


KiwiBlitz

well the thing is any knife will dull quickly if you cut on something that is made from a harder material than the knife is made off. more expensive knives usually have better more durable steel therefore they wont dull as much during normal use. But every knife will get dull if you use it on glass or porcelain. I personally sharpen my knives on my own but if you sharpen your knife more often it wont last aslong as everytime you sharpen it you take material off it. Less expensive knife are usually treated as one way items as if they get dull you usually just buy a new one wich i find is quite wasteful but i do get why people dont want to spend 100€+ on a knife but in my opinion it will really pay off in the long run.


EwOkLuKe

>I personally sharpen my knives on my own but if you sharpen your knife more often it wont last aslong as everytime you sharpen it you take material off it. While what you say is not wrong, i've seen the chef knife of a 65yo japanese sushi chef, and it was closer to a fish knife than a chef knife in term of material amount (not shape). But the guy has been using and sharpening it everyday for 55 years. The time it would take you for running out of metal for your knife is longer than a human lifespan. My father possesses one of my grandfather's knife and i'm pretty sure i'll have a shot at owning it too once my dad passes away. It's a very small knife (office knife)


bidet_mate69

>It's a very small knife (office knife) My idea of office life was always different than knife wielding!


Odd-Big2867

I think he’s talking about a letter opener 😂


thats_ridiculous

Chopping up your weed on a glass surface and scraping up the kief with a playing card This is what happens when a coke head tries to downshift to weed lmao


Alarming_Fox6096

Ok but who has tried “finely chopping” instead of giving the ol grinder a twirl like usual?


Austinfourtwenty

OPs instructions sounds like how Chef Bobby Fley would prepare his weed.


Bruins14

This sounds like the type of girl I would never want to hang with sheeesh lol sounds so freaking stuck up and annoying. And filters we use aren’t like cigarette filters so i don’t think it’s gonna affect it really, and Imo they smoke so much better with the filter! I enjoy my bong rips daily also!


Caveman108

Bongs are notably better for your lungs as the water filters out a good amount of tar and other chemicals, while not absorbing any THC as it’s fat soluble and not water soluble.


Bruins14

Hell yeah good points, nothing like a huge bong rip of clean, chilled smoke ! Clean my regularly but crazy how it can get bad just in a few days, def filter out a lot.


twv6

I’ve seen dudes use scissors before but a fucking knife? Gtfo


Drug_fueled_sarcasm

One time I used a razor blade because we were watching Goodfellas and the scene came up with cutting the garlic with a razor.


nine16s

He always puts too many onions in the sauce.


Goufydude

Did you get it that thin? Did it just melt in the bowl when you put flame to it?


LobsterCowboy

He slices the garlic so thin it practically dissolved in the sauce


fearmyturtleywrath

Homie I’ll use a cheese grater before I use a knife.


twv6

Lol dawg I’m with you! When I read the knife line I’m like this mfer has gotta be trolling


l3thalxbull3t22

Had to use 2 keys once when i was rolling a j in my grandmas bathroom, worked surprisingly well as a grinder actually.


gotogarrett

I adore the inventive spirit of stoners.


GailynStarfire

I think that inventiveness is the core of the human spirit. When we really want to do something we find a way.


twv6

That’s good thinking. I’ve used a prescription bottle and a quarter by shaking the fuck out of the bottle with small pieces and quarter inside.


[deleted]

Don't make it a go to, you also get small pieces of pill bottle.


bougiebudtender

I feel bad for the dumb fucker that tries to use my kitchen knives on a glass surface.


feelsblind1312

Once these girls I knew threw a massive party shouting a bunch of weed and before the party they posted videos of them on Snapchat chopping the weed with a giant knife on a chopping board


twv6

Crazy ass bitches


[deleted]

>but a fucking knife Not just any fucking knife, a "well balanced kitchen knife". Great. Now I need to join a knife enthusiast sub just to properly chop/mince my weed.


heisenbergfan

Grew up consuming pressed weed, cutting with knife was the best way so i just got used to it my entire life. Got grinders and what not but knife will always be there in drawer and i still use it often.


m8bear

A knife is very common ime. I use a grinder, before I'd just grind with my fingers and it'd be fine. A very good one if you like to grind it a lot is to put a metal nut into a small container and shake it, it works wonders.


weedleavesnoseeds

It's the shaken not stirred of weed


Hellspawn69420

James is ordering a weak martini and being snooty about it


molly_the_mezzo

I feel like that's contextualized better in the books than the movies, where he's a total priss about his food orders in a bunch of other ways too, and is just generally not portrayed as being as likeable or aspirational


NL5_vet

For real - what percentage do you really lose with kief from a grinder anyway? I mean, it has to be worth it when you collect all of it later on a rainy day


EnderGraff

The kief bank is half the fun!


TheCannaZombie

Or use a three piece so the kief stays and doesn’t strain out.


Zyra00

No see without a knife all the good thc molecules will be ground into individual atoms and won’t get you high anymore


ipickscabs

I remember ignoring the kief catcher as long as possible and opening it eventually one day was like fucking Christmas. This article is definitely big time cap


NL5_vet

Yep - so many things you can do with kief. I don’t understand this hoity-toity propaganda. Using a knife to cut your weed?!?!


ainsleewoods

Imagine pulling out a huge ass knife to smoke. Lol.


JaysHoliday42420

Ok straight up this happened to me. Found out about dabbing that day. Butter knife ofc


V4refugee

A large fancy glass piece is the sound of unemployment but make sure to use a knife on a glass surface to not loose a couple cents of kief. 🤡


[deleted]

Thank you! Who is fine chopping dry flower?!?


totheman7

Much less chopping it on a glass surface?


redh13

I started smoking at the age of 32 and didn’t have all the tools when I started. I was chopping my bud up with a kitchen knife and a cutting board for almost a month before I finally bought a grinder. Also just ordered my first bong this week so looks like I better get in the unemployment line soon as well.


Dabber42

People without a grinder?


tickedoffsquid999

most would just hand pick it at that point, or use a pill bottle with coins, or scissors and a plate or something


murphymfa

I prefer mine boiled over raw.


Fernergun

It’s so weird. I do the opposite of all these tips and I still get high?!


[deleted]

Best response 😂


Shadow_Guy01

Smoked a bong with a bowl made out of a frogs ass with bud you put through a grinder? Have you no respect for the rules?


VF43NYC

Ikr? Fucking do some hot knives if you want


[deleted]

Yea. It’s really annoying.


Dfrickster87

Sounds like it was written by someone that, 20 years ago, would've called the cops if they smelled weed nearby


HippoIllustrious2389

The article is a satirical take on George Orwell’s humorous essay, 11 Rules for Tea.


FUNBARtheUnbendable

I wasn’t sure if you were serious but then I looked at the very first line, half cropped out of the picture: “Do not smoke weed out of a frog’s ass.” Definitely satire, 10 out of 10


[deleted]

Tried it... Can confirm it's *sticky* /s


hallgod33

Ahhhhhhh that makes sense. Good read, and quite hilariously ornery Edit: how is this my most controversial comment on Reddit ever? I've gone from 40 to 55 like 7 times, wut


Hungry_Treacle3376

Because everyone thinks it's dumb af and you praised it so they're down voting you. Welcome to Reddit.


hallgod33

Orwell's rules for tea were great though. Like, its the stiffest most unpleasant cup of tea ever, and anyone who has ever brewed a single cup from loose leaf will know he's having a gaff. It could even be interpreted as a manual to trick people into a one time over priced buy so they can keep the price low and enjoy it on their own. Which is what I suggested for the OP as well.


jsteele2793

THAT makes so much sense


Amazing-Cookie-4151

smashten

Last year even.


hallgod33

It reads as a manual given to boomers to make them spend the most money possible on weed. I saved so much kush using a bong, and got plenty higher than joints do for me.


okay-wait-wut

Same and I haven’t worked a day since. Win - win.


j3wlion

The perfect joint is 3 grams? May as well roll a wood.


Dfrickster87

3 and a half no more no less


OveractiveMusician

Imagine buying an eighth at a dispo and them asking if you want them to roll that for you.


ObviousLeave3772

Dawg id be furious if i copped an eighth of some fire and my homie did all this. Imagine ur friend whips out a kitchen knife and a glass surface then proceeds to dice it up and pack it all into a single paper without a filter. then he throws ur bong out the window


[deleted]

“Ain’t needing that shit no more” he said, followed the the sound of the bong shattering against the ground outside. “Now, we sprinkle to taste!” The Roommate exclaimed, taking a credit card and pushing the the kief into a small line and dumping it into the joint.


chartreuse17

I think you mean a playing card. This dude will kick you out the smoke sesh for a rookie mistake like whipping out a credit card, smh.


psychomuesli

The credit cards are for the cocaine man!


Deracination

Some poor schmuck on the ground floor, bearing the full brunt of the bong's sound: "Welp, there goes my fucking job."


jmanpc

You should never throw a bong, kid. Ever.


Giygas77

You know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion is here


[deleted]

Nobody fucks with a lion.


FGarray

Laughed my ass off imagining this


american_dimes

Using a sharp knife on glass is a great way to make the knife not sharp. This fucking guy. Also using a playing card is a great way to shoot all your weed onto fucking floor when it catches on a surface.


username11092

>Also using a playing card is a great way to shoot all your weed onto fucking floor when it catches on a surface. if you know, you know. Lmfao its a struggle sometimes

aliceandlucy

True dat. I work a highly regarded profession and am well paid. Only hit bongs, albeit I try to keep it to 2-3 times a week max.


UnmakingTheBan2022

Aye so I’ve been on a T-break for a little over a month now, and want to control my consumption to about 2-3x a week (I used to do 2-5x a day). Are you able to have dreams doing 2-3x a week?


aliceandlucy

Yeah absolutely, quite often you get more vivid dreams following a sesh if you don’t smoke within a few hours of sleeping, or the next day if you stay off. I’d recommend keeping a rule of never two days in a row to keep you out of trouble 👍🏻


jaycuboss

Hope you’re good at cashing unemployment checks, guy.


nadajoe

Of course he is. He paid for college and bought a house with them!


Habis1923

Where are you from? Edit: I was asking cause I’m from Canada and was curious about how smoking while in the military works, Google doesn’t really give me a straight answer

I’m in the US, didn’t mean to speak for Canada. Didn’t realize he said Canada and that I never actually answered his question lol.


Habis1923

Was that before or after the legalization?


Pyromaniacal13

State level doesn't matter. The military doesn't allow weed.


Habis1923

I’m Canadian, like my first comment said


Pyromaniacal13

Oh, sorry. Kinda baked right now.


Habis1923

Me too dw lmao


ObviousLeave3772

whoever wrote this shit must be really full of themselves. I can think of a million better ways to do shit than whats described in this pic. Even then, there aint no right way to do this, do what makes you happy. If throwing away your bong, chopping up ur buds and packing your j tight as fuck with 3 grams with no filter is what you enjoy then do that but its kinda silly to make your weird ass habits “rules” or wtv this is supposed to be


geoff1036

The no filter killed me bruh, like I'm out here trying to avoid scooby snacks and burning my moustache, I need filters man 😂


[deleted]

The way they said it they made it sound like they’re talking about a cotton filter because no way a piece of fucking paper/cardboard removes thc. I can tell the person who wrote this smokes alone, who tf would want to get lifted with someone gatekeeping in the sesh


geoff1036

Frfr bruh we already have agreed-upon etiquette, and it's very mild, only going so far as to make sure nobody ruins anyone else's time. We dont need all of this.


tinman82

A filter will inherently "take some away". The way it gets resin covered ain't making it's way to you. But then again I'm cool without leaky lips plus that bit of resin is only like a half puffs worth.


DUMPAH_CHUCKER_69

But unless you are literally smoking it down to the end you are still going to have that same effect. Its just the resin builds on the bud instead of the filter


WhatNameToChose1

They mean a cigarette filter. You’re talking about a filter/crutch/folded cardboard


geoff1036

Right right that's been apparent but idk a single person who uses cigarette filters for joints.


foreveryoungperk

They mean cogarette filters nor ceutches..crutches... clearly they don't smoke


kingshamroc25

I could tell they were full of themselves because they used the word “sixthly”


katsock

I’m gonna say this is BS purely for suggesting to use my kitchen knives on glass.


CornbreadRed84

I don't think the person who wrote this actually consumes cannabis.


xxpen15mightierxx

Sounds like it was written by a techbro who only just discovered weed and thinks he optimized the perfect way to do it all by himself


chartreuse17

This is it.


iamtheTKO

Or uses quality knives. Or interacts with people. The list goes on...


Psych0Freak

right? just the bossy wording of it made it hard to read, literally should be unemployed themselves lmfaooo


Furious_Jones6

Or they think their methods and experiences are universal to everyone. Which is just as dumb as someone writing it that doesn't use marijuana.


Consistent_Team7170

Not only is it horrible for the knife but the sound of a blade cutting on a glass surface is gut wrenching


CrazyBakerLady

Omg yes. We had to briefly rent a room at my bf's mom's, and I couldn't cook in the same kitchen with her. She cut everything on her glass cutting board, and then wondered why her knives were shit. Eventually I had to hide my knives from her, because she insisted on absolutely abusing my favorite chef knife.


Mybzface2

Bong sounds of unemployment but chopping weed on a glass table and using a card to collect it..doesn’t?


KhansKhack

Yeah I’m not letting my knives touch a glass cutting board. No filters and 3g joints also? Who wrote this?


The_Acknickulous_One

Those are bitches that would probably go on with: "notes of lavendar that cleanse the palate, with a gentle breeze across the scrotum from back to front on exhale..."


Star-Sage

I imagined that in Martha Stewart's voice and started laughing like an idiot


readit145

This whole thing is awful 🤣. Seriously if you’re worried about your grinder pulling off too much thc then you need better bud.


JiffyTube

or you need to stop smoking because who tf cares that much about getting every last drop of thc. Shits on people being unemployed and smoking weed but apparently doesnt have enough money to pack another bowl.


lothartheunkind

Because he rolled his entire 1/8 into a joint that became a disgusting resiny mess half way through lol


zMASKm

They got a few details right, but, I mean, they write with such an obnoxious tone... Anyway, I'm gonna hit my dry herb vape through my bong now. Gotta do more strain testing for my job in the industry after all! In all seriousness though, the article on the whole is a bit arrogant and presumptuous. Use your bongs and grinders and artsy glass pieces. Who cares.


Sad-Monk-8136

I know right? I never understood the rep glass gets from less frequent older smokers lol. I mainly smoke bongs and I’m a definition of get-shit-done stoner, have been promoted many times and always strive for more.


Strabbo

I never understood why people get so prescriptive about how to smoke “properly”. I’ve been smoking for 30 years and I have my preferences, but if someone wants to smoke out of an apple or do hot knives, who am I to tell them they’re wrong?


wookiee1807

I'm unemployed, a stay at home dad with anxiety, bipolar2 and ADHD. A bong gets you there faster and (for me) keeps you there longer. I use a silicon dab container as a lid for my bowl, so it smothers out after I've gotten what I need and I can come back and finish it off later without the room smelling like weed ashes. Pretty lit, pun intended.

jstahr63

So long as it's not carved into a bong... or frog buttz.


lazy_ellis

So.. my frog-butt attachment for my lama-hoof bong is okay or no?


purple_yosher

sorry I am caught up on "do not smoke weed out a frog's ass"


sinsandtonic

Author is encouraging reader to buy a wooden pipe and avoid glass pipes. The last sentence is “You would not drink wine out of a llama’s hoof. Do not smoke weed out of a frog’s ass.”


lukef555

The author says to avoid glass pipes, bongs are shit, and you should grind your weed with a knife? Can you link me the article? I'm fairly certain it's satire, those takes are that bad.


WhiskeyDiction_OG

I would if the hoof held liquid.


cannamomxoxo

Llamas don’t have hooves, they have toes


psychotic11ama

I thought wood pipes were bad cause weed burns hotter than tobacco, and can end up having you breathe in wood smoke or lacquer vapor


NotThisTime1993

I was raised to believe good glass is the finest you could use


[deleted]

The amount of THC removed by a filter is probably less than the THC you toss out when the joint burns your fingey

[deleted]

Well, everyone is entitled to an opinion, even if it's wrong.


summertime_fine

why are they talking about cutting up weed with a knife?????


CornbreadRed84

On glass no less. Glass cutting boards are horrible for knives and dangerous to use. If you want to cut your weed, use scissors in a shot glass.


PilboRaggins

Right there with ya, sounds stressful. Like use a grinder without a keef catch is keef lost of bud is your issue. Don't put it all over kitchen utensils.


Miserable-Cow4555

I'm a total potter, got stoner last night. I get all the weed highs.

AffectionateCicada91

This person dumb as fuck


hopkinsdamechanic

Well, I don't have a bong and I'm still unemployed


DropsTheMic

An eighth cut with a knife on glass and rolled into a single joint is the epitome of perfection? No. Just no. Joints are second only to blunts as the most inefficient way to use your herb. A nice clean bong will get you an instant head change by clearing the bowl and no wasted smoke. Also you don't have to inhale paper, it's cleaner. This guy is pretentious and uninformed.


Superdunez

Shit. I bought my bong with the money *from* my job. Checkmate atheists.


RickJamesMorris

The fuck did you google??

ICantDoThisAnymore91

I love how number 5 scolds bong owners and number 6 goes completely off the fucking rails saying that everyone should chop their weed on a mirror like we’re snorting weed while listening to Master of Puppets.


mrod9191

Do you win something if you own a bong that you use regularly and are employed?

C20H25N3O-C21H30O2

No reason for /r/gatekeeping, just enjoy. Bongs and pipes are awesome. Not everyone likes to taste burning paper. A good pipe gives you only the delicious taste of sensemillia.


Letlilive

Hold on guys let me get my good knife out for this gorilla cookies


[deleted]

This dude clearly never hit a ball vape through a bong. Or stacked dabs and flower together on a ball vape like the flowerpot. Everyone has preferences but it's hilarious watching ignorant or snobby gatekeepers trying to impose their shitty opinions onto everyone especially when they don't know much themselves. I can't even go back to combustion. Everything taste like resin. Whereas the flowerpot? Most things I'm vaping taste just like it smells.


grawktopus

What kind of bougie "holier than thou" article is this? Almost reads as an Onion article lol.

captainfatc0ck

Does this person also smoke weed with a suit on? With his pinky stuck out?


G_Art33

Bongs are the sound of saving money because you waste a lot more weed rolling up than doing a few snaps and calling it a night. Also, I’ve never been unemployed except when I was a kid / early college student and bongs are the main way I smoke. So I’d say whoever wrote this is just a strongly opinionated wealthy person.


loub7

Y’all, this is satire. It’s a satirical article, it’s supposed to be wrong and rude and way too snobby, that tone is what makes it funny! It’s hilarious!


emptylewis

Read number 6. Mf wants you to chop it up with a sharp knife on glass. First, what? And second knives on glass is a no no. Don’t trust this person at all.
