t breaks aren't a thing and all strains are the same

now that i've got your attention here are some lessons i've learned as a middle-aged lifelong pothead

if you're here asking about t breaks you should either stop smoking weed indefinitely or start smoking more weed

share! gift your stoner friends some weed

your plug isn't trying to kill you - weed just looks like that sometimes

free weed is good for something

all cops are bastards

you don't get more stoned from holding it in or coughing - that's oxygen deprivation you're experiencing

a $200 bong/grinder/whatever is not 10x better than a $20 one, especially if you're liable to break/lose it

you already have something perfectly adequate to keep your weed in, but doob tubes are actually useful if you care about smell

question who really benefits from some topics being taboo

be honest with your doctors - they have seen way more disgusting/embarrassing/criminal stuff than you can imagine

for you teens/young adults trying to hide it from your parents. you probably already failed and might benefit from having an honest conversation with them on your terms before they bring it up and you're unprepared

it is a drug, it is a medicine, it is a spiritual plant; these can all be true at the same time and you should never discount either aspect

if you're on a this subreddit you have outgrown carts as anything other than an emergency backup

if you can't smoke out of glass, yes you can, but if you really can't then use stainless steel

clean your glass - you can reuse iso multiple times so be liberal with it!

joint specific:

herb consistency is key

dry and crumbly needs more heterogeneity than wet and sticky to maintain proper airflow

cigarettes are a good guideline for size ranges, but try to keep the classic joint cone shape

you have more common cause with that homeless guy on the corner than any billionaire

"raw filter tips" make me irrationally angry. you're telling me you can taste the bleach in the cardboard in the filter of your joint? sorry, but i call bullshit! just use cue cards if you insist on spending money on filters you still have to trim and roll yourself

if it's burning unevenly you probably don't need to do anything to fix it, just keep smoking and it'll fix itself

an ugly, lumpy joint that burns is just as good as nice looking one and 100x better than any cross/gimmick joint

it's better to light up the second half of a regular sized joint than to have smoked two tiny ones

i have many more tips that need more than one sentence and i may have slipped into a bit of hyperbole and lacked nuance but rules are made to be broken, pobody's nerfect etc.
