Light It Up, Ladies: The Chic Beginner’s Guide to Smoking Cannabis 😶🌫️ (Without the Awkward Rookie Vibes)
Because if we can assemble IKEA furniture and make a killer charcuterie board, we can definitely learn how to smoke cannabis like queens. 👑
Smoking cannabis might seem like a throwback to the skipping class days, but trust: modern cannabis consumption is more refined, empowering, and yes — actually enjoyable when done right. Whether you’re looking to chill, sleep, giggle, or just vibe, this guide is your smoke sesh cheat sheet. 📝Let’s demystify the puff-puff process — no judgment, no gatekeeping, and absolutely no coughing your soul out (hopefully).
First, a Quick Science Vibe Check: Why Smoking Works
When you smoke cannabis — whether via joint, pipe, or bong — you’re activating cannabinoids like THC and CBD through a process called decarboxylation (fancy science word for “making the compounds bioavailable”). Once inhaled, those active compounds hit your bloodstream through your lungs and reach your brain in seconds — making smoking one of the fastest and most efficient ways to feel the effects. Fast, effective, and simple? Sounds like your favorite Amazon Prime order. 📦
Let’s Explore our Options to Indulge🤓
1. Joints: The OG of Smoking
What It Is:
A joint is basically the cannabis version of a cigarette — ground flower wrapped in rolling paper. You can roll your own (we salute you, DIY goddess), buy a joint roller machine to assist you in rolling, or buy pre-rolled cones for easy packing.
Why You’ll Love It:
- Portable and discreet
- Easy to dose (one puff at a time)
- Pairs well with wine, bubble baths, and existential breakthroughs
- Plus, those Pretty Girl Burn’s cones are Classy AF💅🏿
Beginner Tip:
Start with a half-gram pre-roll or split it with a friend. Take a puff, wait 5-10 minutes, and see how you feel. This isn’t a race — it’s a vibe.
2. Pipes: Small, Cute, and Functional (Just Like You)
What It Is:
A pipe is a compact smoking device, often made of glass, metal, or ceramic. Load your flower in the bowl, light it, and inhale through the mouthpiece.
Why You’ll Love It:
- No rolling required
- Easy to control dosage
- Super artsy ones double as shelf decor (yes, really)
Beginner Tip:
Hold the lighter to the edge of the bowl while gently inhaling — you don’t need to roast it like a marshmallow. You’re not starting a bonfire.
3. Bongs: The Smooth Operator
What It Is:
A bong filters smoke through water before you inhale it, creating a cooler, smoother hit. Think of it as the spa treatment of smoking.
Why You’ll Love It:
- Less harsh on the throat
- More efficient with your flower
- Feels fancy (and kind of like a science experiment)
Beginner Tip:
Start with a small bong (yes, they make mini ones!). Don’t feel pressured to “clear it” in one breath — your lungs are not doing CrossFit.
Pro Fact: A study in the Journal of Cannabis Research found that water filtration may reduce some toxins in smoke — though it’s not risk-free, it can be gentler than dry hits.
4. Blunts: The Bold Babe Move
What It Is:
A blunt is cannabis rolled in a cigar or tobacco leaf wrap. Think our backwoods and Fronto leaf girlies. It gives joint but extra. Blunts have a cult following; think late1900’s — but heads up, they contain nicotine due to the wrap.
Why You’ll Love It:
- Longer-lasting smoke sesh
- Bold flavor and aroma
- Feels like a celebration
Beginner Tip:
If you’re not into nicotine, look for hemp wraps or tobacco-free blunts. Because we like bold, not buzzed and confused.
5. Vapes: The Sleek, Smell-Free Alternative
What It Is:
Vaporizers heat cannabis flower or oil to release cannabinoids without combustion — aka no smoke, just vapor. It’s like the clean girl aesthetic of cannabis.
Why You’ll Love It:
- Discreet and nearly odorless
- Fast onset, like smoking, but smoother
- Easy to carry
Beginner Tip:
Look for low dose THC vape pens or disposable vapes from licensed dispensaries when starting. Bonus: Vape pens allow you the ability to microdose, which means a better sense of control.
What If I Cough? Or Get Too High?
First of all, welcome to the club. Every cannabis user has overdone it at least once — it’s like forgetting the baking soda in banana bread. But don’t panic:
- Stay hydrated. Water is always our friend (CBD seltzer counts).
- Breathe deeply — in through your nose, out through your doubt.
- Chew black peppercorns — weirdly effective in calming THC overload.
- Cuddle your pet, stream something nostalgic, or phone a friend.
Remember: No one’s ever died from a cannabis overdose. The worst-case scenario? You nap like a Victorian poet.
