quite a few questions

hello

ive got quite a few questions that im hoping someone can answer.

I'm new to weed but like the effect (took me quite a few hotboxes/pipes/spliffs to finally feel anything though, and the effect still isnt at its fullest i feel). Anyway, ive a few questions.. Sorry for the massive amount but i hope i can get them all answered.


1)
Ive got a doikey little pipe and a nice bong and am hopefully getting some weed to test them out with this week. Im splitting it with a friend. We were planning on getting a 1/4 for £35 but im uggesting getting 2 1/8ths. However im being told this will be £40 (£20 each) even though the amount is the same. Is this normal with most dealers? And is £20 for an 1/8 and £35 for a 1/4 about average price in england (im in the midlands)?

2)
I want to take some photos of my friends as i have none and will be going to university soon. I dont like it when people pose for photos; i like a more natural photo. Im thinking after smoking a bit everyone will be very cheery (godknows i laugh alot) so it is the perfect time for some photos.
However, i dont know how the photo people will take it when if they see a pic of someone smoking from a pipe or a bong.. Anyone know if this is ok, if they say anything etc?

3) Should it hurt when you breathe in smoke from a pipe/spliff/bong? Not serious pain, but it hurts my throat to breathe the smoke in. Its certainly not smooth.

4) Is there anyway to not reak of smoke. I dont want my parents to think i smoke at all. Im thinking somethign like febreeze? but will that actualyl work?


And finally:

Is there any decent way to cut up the weed from the little block? I know there are grinders but i can only see getting them from websites and not in a shop so that is out of the question





Sorry for the huge amount of questions. I just realised i had quite a few.

1. i live in the U.S. so i'm not sure on your pricing.

2. A lot of the time it depends on where you go. Sometimes I can have my film develpoed with no problems, other times they just throw out the "obscene" or "illegal" pics. My advice: invest in a digital camera, that's what i'm doing.

3. You'll get used to the burning, it takes a few times before it totally goes away.

4. Always have some kind of perfume/cologne/spray if you worried about the smell.

5. If you don't have a grinder, you gotta deal with breaking it up by hand. Its a bitch, i know.

P.S. WELCOME TO THE FORUMS! ENJOY! :D :spliff:

i'm from the us too so i don't know about your pricing question.

as for pictures...

if you're leaving take lots. your friends don't have to pose either, you can catch them offguard.

also, i'm pretty sure (in the states at least) that the film people aren't allowed to look at your photos. i know they do anyway (i know i would!) and they skim through to make sure they came out ok but they can't examine them. so, i figure they're not supposed to be looking at your pictures therefore they can't turn you in for anything. unless it's something serious, like kiddie porn or something.

so take oodles of pictures!

the prices are pretty good, especially if your new to stoning. You can probably find a grinder for £5 at a stall on a market or something like that. The smoke is often harsh on the back of your throat but its something you get used to. I'd reccomend chewing some gum after smoking and changing clothes, but gum is definitely a must if your parents disapprove. good luck man adn welcome to the forums

Yes, two eighths being more expensive than a quarter even though they should weigh the same is reasonable. Dealers make more money off of eighths, and they probably already have them weighed up.

of course you could just buy the 1/4 and split it into 2....

thats what we're currently doing but splitting it in two seems fiddly.

I know they shouldnt look at your pics but on the news just recently there was a soldier who had fought in iraq and taken pictures of the iraqi people in verious distressing states and got busted. Now obviously this is more serious than a few bongs, but it proves that they will look at photos and they will bust you... just wasnt sure about weed.




cheers for the replies. happy knowing the price is a good one. Godknows how people can afford to get through a quarter a week though..


cheers

I chop up weed with these little tiny scissors I have, it works great.

Like everbody else said, prices really depend on where you live, they're different for everybody
Round here 1/4 is 25 and an 1/8 is 50.....only gets cheaper in ounces

Freebreeze works pretty good

Even worse case scenario for the picture. They couldnt even bust you for the bong cause they wouldnt be able to prove what you are smoking.
