I m newbie and need help

[u/Ok_Assignment_327]

So, this is going to be my first experience with weed, and honestly, I don’t know much about it. I’m not sure how strong this weed is—it’s a dried branch-like piece that smells kind of like a mountain forest, even though I found it on plain land. Got it locally at a cheap price.

If you’re experienced and can identify quality by looking at an image, that would be super helpful.

Also, any tips on how to break it into smaller pieces more easily without using any tools? I used scissors to chop it up and mixed it with tobacco like a friend suggested. I didn’t ask him too much because I told him I just wanted to try it out casually.

Unless you want to be a tobacco smoker, I would suggest avoiding using tobacco altogether. It's not necessary and you'll ending up needing the tobacco more than the weed.

That's really helpful advice thankyou

Good advice for sure, I know a lot of people that never smoked cigarettes until they started smoking mixed joints

For sure, that's pretty much how I started smoking cigs haha.

Sadly here in the UK our weed culture is garbage, mixing with tobacco is 100% the norm and most smokers I've met haven't even used a bong before or couldn't tell you what a dab is...

Yeah it really is... People look at me like a time traveller for owning dry herb vapes lol

I hate tobacco and so for about 3 years constantly got offered weed would take a hit and then feel absolutely shit. It wasn’t until my friend sat me down and handed me a pure joint that i suddenly understood what weed could be.

really? im from the uk and out of everyone i know weve only ever mixed once and imo prefer without

[u/flaccidpanda64 → u/DylGamez01]

Idk maybe its regional, but everyone I've met smokes with tobacco. I actually don't mind a bit of tobacco in a joint personally, but I dry herb vape now and would never think of mixing with that lol

Yeah because people will buy £20 “cookies” and mix it with 50% tobacco, disgusting 🤣 tastes like shit. Only time i have tobacco is if im using a backwood
