Basic Bong Etiquette
When sharing a bong with friends, it’s important to observe a few basic points of etiquette. The idea is not to suck all the life out of what should be a fun time, but to simply ensure that everyone present has a chance to enjoy themselves. Here are a few points to keep in mind the next time you and your friends decide to share a bong.
First, make sure everyone knows what combination of herbs and plants are in the bong. You may love Mayan Bliss Herbs, but there is always the chance that someone is not all that crazy about it. One way to avoid this type of awkward moment is to ask people ahead of time if there are any herbs or plants they really don’t care for; this will allow you to forego adding in any dried banana peel if your friends don’t care for it.
Next, make sure the bong is loaded with enough green to make it around the circle. Nothing disrupts a good high like having to stop and refill the bowl halfway around. The evening will be much more pleasant if all of you can enjoy the high without periodic interruptions.
Last, always present the mouthpiece to the next person, holding it in a manner that allows the next individual to use one hand to move the mouthpiece into position. Smooth and easy is the name of the game. Don’t let go of the stem and mouthpiece until the next person has it firmly in hand.
While there’s no need to make a huge ritual out of sharing a bong with your friends, it never hurts to take a few basic steps to ensure everyone gets the most they can from the experience. Try these tips out and chances are you’ll find they do help make the time a little more pleasant for everyone involved.
