Great debate and array of views on this topic.
I think generally, my opinion remains the same... I need to be familiar with those I'm sharing a joint with... but I have no prob tossing a bud to share on a meet and greet.
Like in Seinfeld... once you take a bite, end it there... the 2nd dip is like putting your whole mouth in the bowl.

I pass, i enjoy the social side of getting stoned. Ive passed joints with many people, one guy i met in amsterdam ( Grey Area ) sat next to me a buddy who were just there for a weekend. I skined up a pretty sizeable joint of rifman hash because he had no experience of hash that werent Northern Irish Soap Bar. On a trip to 'Derry on a kness up, guess who i run into? He works a bar there, and gave me a few free pints.
Thats Karma.

No doubt... like i said, I gots no prob sharing my smoke, it's about passing the same doob around amongst a group of strangers.
Great story tho... and you're right, karma is huge!

Interesting topic.
I know it usually depends on culture, as in America it's usually the norm to see a joint/blunt being passed around, opposed to what I've read about most European folks who enjoy "smoking their own".
I'd definitely puff, puff, pass my blunt to a stranger in a shop, just as long as they have one to share themselves or some herb to toss in.
Nothing wrong with cyphering with strangers, but you better have some chip ins on that blunt we're about to roll up or it's a no go.
Scavenger smokers get no love from me.

I'm not sure about the rest of Europe, but in the UK we share spliffs "puff puff give"

.
I've never given it any thought, and have shared spliffs with many randoms in the dam. Also, it must be unlikely to catch anything doing doing this. HIV for example cannot be caught through saliva (except in huge quantities).

i used to pass a join round with my mates. now a days i smoke what i want and pass whats left over, i don't expect it back so who cares about the germs.
i cant stand the thought of spending a tenner on a spliff and the not smoking most of it

Think he is refering to our crap exchange rate and the fact a Euro10 of weed is nearly £10 now.

always share! besides the better taste/effect this is the main reason I only smoke joints, its much more fun to smoke with others and for me the more the better (of course there appeals another rule: the more, the bigger joints needed

) so yes....whenever a stranger sat to us when sitting at Dampkring or Mellow Yellow (we usually dont chill at any other places) we gave him all the joints we rolled. I remember an old hippy who sat down with us at Dampkring (1), he was a German guy, a bit weird, but friendly, talked with us about politics and everything for about an hour. when he left, we laughed our asses off, because he was so stoned of all the joints we were giving around, he forgot to buy weed in a coffeeshop he has been in for at least 2 hours....he came back after 10 minutes, bought some and I think he was a bit embarassed

I put about 0.7 in a joint. It tastes sooo good!.. I dont like the taste of tobacco so I only put the smallest amount in, you have to bulk it up with something if you enjoy smoking a phat head, why not grade? nice weed has got so expensive round where i live and I just simply wont buy the shit "farm house" carp.

People can say no if they don't want yer joint, as can you. But whatever ya do, do it quick......cos after a few hours "It doesn't matter anyway!".
As for gettin VD from a joint?... I'd advise ya never to handle money again.

yah, if anyone wants to catch a smoke with us, we're well versed in sharing.
never tried mixing tobacco with my ganja. which is odd because ive been known to put away a pack a day of the damned things. willing to try it though. whats a good ratio of brown to green?
