Well guys, it worked out. The untrusty type didn't come through, but the slightly-more-trustworthy kid did, and I think it worked out. He had two 1/10th bags of... something. He admitted he didn't know what it was or where it was from, and that it might "not be very good", "but should be okay". :/
I've attached few pictures for your consideration:
What you're looking at is one quantity loose in a box, the other still in it's bag. I paid £30 for both of them together. It's brown, tacky and clumpy, and smells surprisingly sweet. What baffles the fuck out of me (and which I only noticed after first smoking) was that there's some black string running through it. I sure as shit hope I didn't smoke any of that.
I rolled my first ever spliff (a surprisingly efficient job if I do say so myself), walked to a forgotten park nearby and smoked it while listening to Cannabis Corpse.
After about 5 hits and a lot of fucking around with my lighter, I got it burning real good. About that time I hit a coughing fit, and it was a real fucker... feels like I burnt my throat maybe. Still, finished it in about 6 minutes.
Sad to say, I don't feel anything, except a sting in my throat and a tiredness related more to the hour than anything else. This is the fifth time I've smoked weed, and the most I've smoked in one go to date, and like before I have failed to experience any sort of effect. Still, I ain't mad at myself for trying, and I've still got plenty left to roll. I think I might be hitting way too deep for a newbie.
Of-course, in the spirit of my ever-shrinking ignorance, here's sum questions:
1) Is there any point to holding your breath on a hit? I don't think it is but I keep doin' it.
2) Any weed lovers wanna take a guess at the 'nature' of this weed, especially the quality?
3) String?!
4) Did I get a good deal? I was hoping to spend £50-60, so the small quantity was kind of disappointing.
