The Ratios

Today I am going to talk about the Bodies-to-Blunt ratio. This is a subject that I am very passionate about as there have been many frustrating moments when there's too many people and not enough L's.  

If the Bodies-to-Blunt ratio were a glass, the necessary beverage to fill the glass would be common sense. However, regardless of your vice, common sense is not too common nowadays. So without any witty anecdotes, here it goes:

The Rule:

• 1-3 people : 1 blunt/1 joint
• 3-5 people : 2 blunts 
• 5-7 people : 3 blunts
• 7-10 people : 4 blunts or split into 2 cyphers
• These numbers are ideal for < 3 Puffs and a Pass.

The Manner:

• Bring enough food (fuckin weed!) for yourself and everybody else.

Once again I will compare a cypher (smoke session) to a potluck dinner. Aside from everybody bringing a dish, the idea of a potluck dinner is that everybody gets to eat as well! Duh! And in order for everyone to eat, all eaters must contribute or else there won't be enough food. Duh! So this is where personal accountability comes in.  This is where teamwork makes the dream work because without everybody's individual effort (and common sense), a successful cyph might as well be non-existent.  Plus - these are people that have most likely become handpicked family! Would you want to be left out of the next potluck e-vite because you slacked the last time? There's nothing worse than being left out of a smoke session you were just a member of.

Most cyphers have multiple blunts/joints involved. I am not implying that 1 blunt will satisfy 3 people for the entire evening. What I am implying is that each time an L is sparked, the number of participating heads should be between the numbers listed above. This is to ensure that everybody gets high and enjoys the effects of beautiful Mary Jane.  Just like a potluck, there are usually multiple courses throughout the night. With this being said, you don't necessarily have to roll the appetizer because there's still dinner and dessert. 

The Rule Exception:

• Stragglers that actually live in the house should be allowed to hit the blunt a couple times if they do not plan on actually joining the circle. An example would be a younger (but legal) brother that stopped in the room to borrow a hat and puffs on the L a couple of times before he leaves.
• Depending on the dynamic of the relationships with the participants (and circumstances), an extra head could be added to the cyph as long as everybody adheres to the Puff-Puff-Pass rule. However this is best in groups limited to 5/6 people. 
• 4 people : 1 blunt/1 joint
• 6 people : 2 blunts 

Honestly even looking at the numbers directly above this paragraph, I would be a bit apprehensive about jumping in this cypher.  The idea is for everyone to get high. Stretching the ratios will result in a short, half-assed, Why are there so many fuckin people? - type of high. Don't say I never warned you.

Real shit - just make sure you are not the reason everybody is still hungry (or broke down halfway to Stonersville).

Happy Tokin!
