Cyphus is awesome, like drugs.

Smoking a cig while drinking a fine beer (read McAuslan, imported IPAs, etc.) rocks.
Also, weed, and probably hashich one day...
Oh and hookah is really nice before gym class =)

i drink/get drunk twice a month on average, and last month i had my first cigarette (while drunk). It hit me like i never would have expected. Mixed in w/ some light-headedness i got totally relaxed (take into account i've never done any drugs in my life prior to this)
So..that was an interesting experience out of curiousity, but i don't plan on smoking again.

2 weeks later i smoked weed for hte first time of some highquality stuff-2 bowls worth, and it was deffinately a retardedly awesome experience. i could talk hours about that one night of being high.
But i need to reapply to Target soon, and they've drugtested me already once, and may do it again. I'd rather not smoke again, but i'm sure i will again if the party is right and everything else is kinna riding on it. I just don't wanna be a drugee or anything.
(in other news, in that same month i lost my virginity and got a gf)...
so.its been quit a crazy month, fellows.
lol cyphus is 2 good :p we gotta get drunk sometime and then hang out at an airport lol (inside joke)

Roll-your-owns are so much better.

First of all, they don't come with all those chemicals and shit that purchased cigs come with. It's just pure tobacco.

Second, you actually get the choice of what kind of tabacoo you want to put in it. As a result, roll-your-owns should, in theory, taste better once you find that perfect kind of tobacco.

Third, the head buzz you get from roll-your-own is so much stronger than purchased cigs.

And lastly, a lot cheaper. Paper cost you a few dollars and you can get tobacco for very cheap. You can probably get enough papers and tobacco for 15 dollars that you would find in a carton of cigs, which would cost you at least 40.

The only reason one would not get roll-your-owns is because they are lazy. It does get annoying to have to roll your own when you can just conveniently pull one out of a pack.

btw, I do smoke the occasional cigarette, more when I'm drinking at parties. Weed, not at all.

I smoke for flavor, so rolling my own (usually drum or american spirit) pays off definately, but the other day a smoker friend of mine posed to me a part of the argument I was not aware of. Packaged ****arettes are a lot easier on your lungs so it's not all that hard to get into a habit of smoking 10 or so a day.

Even though rolleds are better, it's a lot harder to get the same spread-out nicotine hunger satisfaction without absolutely destroying your lungs in a matter of days. There's no way in hell I can smoke more than 4 rolled cigarettes in one day (unless I'm drunk) .

I suppose packaged cigarettes are okay the the heavy addicts and rolled ones are better for those of us who like to enjoy them for taste and mood.

You could do what I did and get tired of rolling your own. I bought some lucky strikes the other day. That **** is so expensive. I havent got another pack in like 2 weeks.

just a little lamed out by the negativity on this thread.

a note for all u middle school hotshots who have obviously never even touched a lighter:

the thread is called "Smokers on SWF"... not "Post here if you have a negative opinion about smoking and have no personal experience"

you little kids sound like ur quoting those over-biased anti smoking ads; which are sponsored by Phillip Morris... the worlds #1 tobacco manufacturer

now... im bout to smoke a bowl and relax... where was i ???

Speaking of which, thank god for the stomach-calming effects of cannabis. I picked up a nasty virus at the same time and place as my girlfriend and her family and I'm the only one not about to projectile vomit.

win.

Anyways, I actually HATE roll-your-owns. I smoked about half my bag of tobacco (happens to be bali shag) and finished it off today. My issue? First off, it turns to powder near the end. You'd need a roller to make something truly smokeable out of it. The things I made with the powder were just irritating and gross. And that's like the last fifth of the bag, but I carry the tobacco everywhere I go, so maybe that's why.

Anyways, there's another problem. You get about forty cigarettes out of a package of rolling tobacco, and it costs about 7 bucks, including papers. Now, that'd be fine, except for the fact that there isn't nearly enough "oomph" to the cigarette. It's really annoying because I feel like I'm not smoking anything when I smoke them. It feels like I'm smoking air. And they burn WAY too fast, so you end up getting a LITTLE more out of them, but they're just time consuming, and you end up spending about as much as you would on similar quality prerolled cigarettes (Lucky Strikes are a dollar cheaper and last about 80% as long, and are a lot better). Roll your owns are just way too flavorful, with not enough of the actual necessities of a smoke in them. I smoke mainly to get my nicotine, but I have my limits on taste. If it tastes like ****, then I'm obviously not going to have that. Luckies have a good flavor, because it doesn't feel like you just ate something after you're done. It just has a taste. On the other hand, rolling tobacco seems to have incredibly pungent taste.

I'm not an enthusiast for smoking "flavored tobaccos" because I'm not big on tobacco. I just smoke it to get my nicotine fix. And in that regard, I highly recommend going for regular cigarettes. They don't last as long, but cost about two and a half bucks less per pack. Most cigarettes are in the 5 dollar range where I live, but roll your owns are 2 bucks more expensive. Pall Malls are 4.50, and Lucky Strikes are 5.50, with Kamels at 5.00

So I guess it's mostly up to opinion, but I hate roll your owns, personally.

I disagree with the above.

First of all, you don't smoke roll your owns without a roller. The roller is essential. Seriously, how do you go about smoking roll your owns without one? That's silly talk.

There is no way in hell that roll your owns are more expensive. Are you kidding? Doing the math in my head, I say that roll your owns are about half the price of cigs from a pack. Spending 10 dollars on a roller is such a good investment when you take that into consideration. You save SO MUCH money on roll your owns.

You also say that it doesn't last very long. heh, that's cause you don't use a roller (I think you realized that though). A roller allows you to pack the tobacco in very tight which makes for a nice and long lasting cigarette.

Also, you mentioned powder. If you keep the tobacco sealed at all times, it should always be nice and moist and ideal for packing. How good your tobacco is correlates to how well you take care of it.

To reiterate what I said in my last post, you get a bigger buzz from roll your owns, they taste better for the most part (if you do your research right), they are chemical free, and cheaper.

In conclusion, roll your owns > store bought packs, imo.

first off how did u produce powder form your RYOs?

and yes rol yur wosn are far more cheaper but again it depends on the brand u buy.

but i dont care about all that. a pack of marlboro menthols will do me fine and well and i dont even have to roll it :)

and i dont recall getting a buzz from a RYO unless i didnt put the filter on it.

I bought a deck of camels last Friday. Goooooood. They're filtered, but they still have a nice pop as they go down. What's even better is they're only a 1 dollar more than my usual brand. Also, it smells like they have alcohol in them, which is nice. =]

i wanna touch on the issue of smoking and playing melee. many smashers are pretty young, or WERE pretty young, like under 18.... but i started playing melee when i was about 19 and unfortunately had already been smoking cigs/weed for years. the first few tournaments i went to, i felt like the only one taking "smokebreaks" because there werent many peeps my age. i have also gone to about 80% of tournaments high as a kite, often playing teams/singles tourney matches. we often believed in "the comedown", that is, if you get high, and like 45 minutes to an hour later, when you start coming down, you play unbelievably good melee and get really focused. this is all speculation of course, but our tourney performances would not lie, where i would often place high while being high. i always try to keep it on the down-low tho, because i dont want to be a bad influence on others. a local vet smasher named SS4Ricky once said that "those performance enhancing marijuana drugs should be banned, they remove pressure from tourney matches". lol. anyway, smoking cigs and weed are bad habits to get addicted to, but in moderation i think they are ok. just keep safe circumstances and dont get arrested.

If you look closely, Dongo's avatar is smoking a fatty. Contrary to Dodongos disliking smoke.

@ G-reg's post ~~~ Best believe it! I've done my best smashin after smokin some herb. That boost in creativity and awesome focus brings out my potential. I must admit that I've had a mixed bag of experiences. Sometimes I believe the paranoia aspect can augment my already ridiculous nervousness in a tourny situations. In friendlies it's all gravy and I find myself playing exceptionally well.

I've smoked herb for a couple years and smoked Camel Golds for 5 months. I prefer Camel over most but cloves were awesome when I didn't pay for them. Now i'll roll tobacco from time to time. The power and effects of rolled tobacco trump cigs anyday but i've never had a habit of it.

I smoke herb on avg over 1.5 times a day. I'd say it's been mostly positive in my life and I don't see any reason for myself quitting. Piss tests are easy to bypass and as long as you play it safe the Law isn't much of a problem.
