Marijuana

1. Always decide on the number of hits each person takes per turn before you smoke. If it's one hit and then pass, two hits, or as many as you want, decide right before the session. Be fair with it, weed doesn't grow on tree's you know.

2. The provider of the sacred herb or the prepare of it shall also be the first to light the sacred herb, unless they so choose to pass the green hit (first hit) to someone else.

3. More often then not, you should light the joint while holding it in your hand, then take a hit. Taking a hit and lighting it at the same time (like a cigarette) usually causes it to light on fire. This then burns all of the paper and causes the weed to fall out.

4. Don't drop the joint. When passing the fatty, wait until the next person surly has it or says "Got it", and then you let go.

5. Don't juice up (get it soaked with saliva) the joint, pipe, or bong.

6. Don't hold the joint, pipe, or bong after your done hitting it, pass it along. No one wants to watch the joint burn while you rant on about something.

7. If a friend thinks they have had enough to smoke, encourage them to smoke more. Encourage, don't force.

8. If a friend blazes you, you blaze them back. If a stranger blazes you, hunt them down and blaze them back.

Do's and Don'ts:

1. Do smoke marijuana, and engage in even one hit of a session if you can.
2. Do NOT force friends to smoke more, especially if they say no.
3. Do take big hits, but not so big that you cough up a lung.
4. Do NOT hold your hit in! Exhale after 3 seconds, because all THC is absorbed in 3 seconds anyway, so holding your breath will only deposit more smoke in you lungs, but not get you any higher.

Salvia Divinorum

1. Never, EVER, trip someone out, unless they ask so before hand, or you let them know. Salvia will do all of the tripping needed.

2. Don't hit 30 X Salvia on your first trip. 5 X will do wonders.

3. Salvia is NOT a party drug. Engage in Salvia trips in a comfortable environment, with limited stimulus, with close friends, and where you will not have to move for 30 minutes. Choose your 'set' and 'setting' carefully.

4. The sitter (person who is not smoking) should watch the person tripping and help them if need be. Salvia can cause major confusion and delusion and the person tripping will need advice.

5. Chill. The effects of Salvia will pass, no matter how overwhelming the appear. The sitter should also keep the person tripping safe, and calm.

6. After the person trips, they may want to remember their experience. The sitter should be willing to help the tripper recall what was happening, what they were doing, to piece together their Saliva experience.

Smoking Technique

1. Use a bong or bubbler.

2. Get a friend, or 'sitter', who is not smoking, to fill the bowl with salvia.

3. Use a jet lighter (butane) and incinerate the bowl of Salvia.

4. Inhale deeply and slowly.

5. Hold the smoke in your lungs for 30 seconds, then take the next hit of Salvia right after, without taking a breath of air.

6. After about 2 or 3 hits, make sure the person not smoking takes the bong because the person smoking may drop it.

7. Note: Smoking Marijuana may cause the effects of Salvia to last longer, and/or become more intense.
