Do’s and Don’ts When in a Smoke Circle

A good pal hits you up and invites you to a smoke sesh. Or maybe you’re headed to a group get-together with friends and a smoke circle is bound to be part of it. Are smoke circles a lot of fun? Hell yeah!

If you’ve never experienced this iconic gathering of weed lovers, you’re in for something special. But here’s the deal, as laid back as all things weed can be, there are some unspoken rules in a smoke circle.

The number one rule of the Weed Circle is no one talks about the Weed Circle rules. No one wants to kill the vibe by handing out rules—most people with an appreciation for the good green are too laid-back for all ‘at.

“Let me tell you this, the older you do get the more rules they’re gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep livin’ man, L-I-V-I-N.” —Dazed and Confused

So you’re probably on your own figuring it all out, but you also don’t want to be too inconsiderate. Not that most in the middle of a smoke sesh will ever say much. You just may not get invited to the next circle. Never fear, Inferno is here! Remember these do’s and don’ts on your way to a smoke circle.

Find Inferno

Do chip in.

“The weed is for the people. It’s the people’s weed.”- Jonah Hill

Whatever you do, don’t head to a smoke circle empty-handed. Go ahead and stop in at your favorite dispensary that offers Inferno (of course!) and pick up some flower or a pre-roll. The freeloaders who never bring anything may not get invited next round.

Don’t bring the mids. Just don’t.

We’ve all had it: that mid-grade, run-of-the-mill flower that’s dry, harsh, and sometimes barely tastes a notch above dry grass. A smoke sesh is the time to pull out the good stuff, the top-shelf, the premium bud you want to share because it’s that damn good. Not the mids. Think strains like Elvis and Superboof, and you’ll be legendary. Automatic guarantee you’ll be the first contact the next time everyone gets together.

Do play good tunes.

Music and weed, no one really knows which came first but best believe they’ve been married throughout history. So, every good smoke circle will have, will need, good tunes.

Don’t be a playlist dictator. Share!

If you find yourself in charge of the smoke sesh playlist, don’t be a dictator. Take requests. What hits you just right after a few tokes may not be what everyone in the room wants to hear. Much like the weed, pass the playlist permissions around the room.

Do bring drinks and snacks.

One thing about good weed, you’re probably going to get the munchies and you know cottonmouth can have your mouth feeling like the Sahara. Come armed to survive with a snack you don’t mind sharing and something to wet your whistle.

Don’t expect someone else’s got ya covered.

You may have been invited to a smoke sesh but that shouldn’t come with an expectation that the host is planning to feed everyone’s munchies when they attack with whatever they have on hand. The last thing you want is to be the one from the group scouring the host’s kitchen cabinets for a box of stale Fruit Loops or a bag of Doritos.

Do be a mindful toker.

“A friend with weed is a friend indeed, and a friend who shares is a friend who cares.” —Unknown

There’s unspoken etiquette once the j blazes. Pay attention to the direction of the pass if you’re not first in line. Puff-puff-pass. Paint this on your weed-loving heart and remember it in every smoke circle. Two hits, and a pass to the next in line. It’s polite and expected.

Don’t bogart the joint, bud.

Don’t bogart that joint my friend, pass it over to me!” —”Don’t Bogart Me” by Fraternity of a Man

Puff, puff, pass. Don’t be greedy. Being painted as the bogart of the group means you’re hitting more than you should and not being mindful that everyone around you wants the experience.

Every Legendary Smoke Sesh Starts with the Best Weed

So, there you have it. You’re an educated one well on your way to enjoying a smoke circle and walking away with a guaranteed invite back.
