 Hello everyone, I'm Dr. Kush, head dangoologist here at Smoke Cartel. If you're subscribed to this channel, there's a good chance you're already smoking as I'm saying this sentence, but not everybody is that lucky. Believe it or not, there are some people who have never smoked before in their life, and many of these people have a lot of questions. If you're one of those people, don't worry. You may be afraid to ask these questions because you think your friends will think you're lame and stupid. You may be lame and stupid, but I'm just a guy on the screen, so I have no way of knowing that. Here is our beginner's guide to five stupid questions you're too afraid to ask about. Number one, what do I need to smoke? If you're smoking any type of dry herb and not necessarily the one that I'm talking about, you're going to need three basic things. It's a pipe, a grinder, and a lighter. The first step is to take some of your herb, put it into your grinder, and grind it up like so. Then take your herb and put it into your pipe. You want to make sure you pack it full but not necessarily too tight because you want to have a good air flow. Every pipe has a little hole on the side here called a carb. When you inhale, you're going to want to plug it up and unplug it as you suck. Question number two, are there different types of... The short answer is yes. The long answer is yes. It can be grouped into three main categories, sativas, which give you energy, indicas, which make you more mellow, and hybrids, which are combinations of the two. If you want to remember, think indicas make you want to stay in to couch. That's a very clever word play which somebody came up with, probably my grandfather. Question number three, what is a bong? A bong is a vase that is more fun. Basically, it's a big glass didgeridoo that uses water to filter out the smoke from the dryer before it gets to your mouth. If you've never smoked a bong before, be prepared because it will probably fuck you up big time. The first time I ever smoked a bong, I passed out in a movie theater in the middle of the film Frankenweenie. Light it the same way that you would light a pipe, except you're going to want to inhale at the top right here. Midway through, pull out the bowl like this. Question number four, what is a dab? Dabs are in the form of a concentrated sticky oil. If dabs are maple syrup, is a maple tree, and your stepfather pouring it is a dab rig. Smoking dabs is a little bit more complicated because it requires a lot of heat and it requires a special dab rig, but they're also a lot more intense than any other forms of smoking. People usually use a butane torch to heat up their nail, which is the little surface that you put the dab on that vaporizes it. I don't know if I'd recommend dabbing for the first time you ever smoked in your entire life, because the first time that I dabbed, I passed out in the middle of my living room while watching the film Frankenweenie on DVD. But hey, you could. Question number five, can you vape dry herb? Yes we can. Not only can you vape dry herb, you can also vape dabs. This is a great option for people because all the work I just mentioned in this video, you don't have to do. You don't have to do anything hardly. Just load the vape up with dry herb or dabs and suck. You do need a special type of vape pen for both dry herb and dabs, and you guessed it, we carry all of them. Well, there you have it.
