Tips For New Cannabis Smokers
Being a new cannabis smoker can be intimidating and overwhelming. There are a variety of smoking methods, products, and techniques to learn. This is especially true if you haven’t yet discovered your preferred smoking method.
Today I want to go over my list of tips for new cannabis smokers. If there are any tips I missed that you think should be added to this list, let me know on social media!
1. Keep A Good Stash Box
A good stash box is a must for any cannabis user. You can use any container you choose. Most people use a cigar box, humidor, or any small ornate box.
Keep this box loaded with all of your smoking essentials. This includes your bowl, lighters, grinder, papers, filters, blunt wraps, and any other supplies you may need. Always be prepared!
2. Learn How To Roll
You may not be a regular joint or blunt smoker. However, being able to roll is a good skill to have, especially when you are in a pinch. If you want to learn to roll but don’t want to manhandle your cannabis, I would suggest getting a pack of loose tobacco for practice. Learning how to roll will also help make you more versatile when smoking with other people. For example, say you are smoking with six other people. A bowl will not cut it in that situation. You would have to repack it every rotation. However, you could roll a blunt, or maybe two joints.

3. Use A Grinder
Using an herbal grinder for your cannabis has a variety of positive effects. Most importantly, it ensures that your cannabis has a consistent grind to it. This not only increases surface area, but it also will help you roll more even blunts and joints.
You can also use a grinder to catch kief, the trichomes that fall off of the cannabis plant. Kief has a variety of uses, including making hash. Most people use it to give a little extra kick to whatever they are smoking.
4. Keep Your Cannabis Fresh
With the increase in legal cannabis, this isn’t as much of an issue anymore. Most retail cannabis comes in airtight containers. We don’t have to keep our cannabis in sandwich bags anymore.
With that said, make sure that you are keeping your cannabis in a good container. Keep it away from light and moisture. If you don’t have a fancy cannabis storage container, a regular mason jar will do the trick.

5. Learn Your Smoking Preferences
There are so many different ways to enjoy cannabis. You have blunts, bowls, joints, dabs, and blunt wraps, just to name a few. When you are a new smoker, you may gravitate toward one smoking method over another. Take some time to experiment and build your cannabis palate.
6. Learn Your Strain Preferences
If you think smoking methods is overwhelming, learning about the many types of cannabis strains can be even worse. The best way to learn your personal strain preferences is just to experiment.
Try sativas, indicas, and hybrids. Try strains with different terpene profiles. Try both low and high-THC strains. You won’t know what works for you until you try. Luckily, the biggest risk you take is just getting too toasted.
7. Get A Rolling Tray
Every crumb of cannabis counts. Even if you are a pipe smoker, having something to catch all the stray cannabis bits is important. That is literally leaving money on the table.
8. Keep Your Pipes Clean
There is nothing worse than getting a harsh and ashy hit from your bowl. Make sure that you are keeping your pipes clean. There are a variety of methods to clean your pipes. My personal favorite is to soak them in rubbing alcohol. You can also prevent pipe build-up by using a pipe screen.
9. Have Water Handy
Smoking can dry you out and cause the negative side effects of cannabis to be worse than usual. Make sure you stay hydrated while using cannabis and cannabis products.
