\t\t\t\tThe following comes from a free handout found in most Amsterdam Coffeeshops.<\/p>\n
\n1. There are many reasons to smoke hashish and marijuana, such as to have a good time or to release your creative energies or for meditation. But don\u2019t expect a joint to solve any problems for you. <\/p>\n
\n2. If you smoke hashish or marijuana everyday, try to skip a couple of days now and then. It\u2019s not only healthier to take a break, but it lowers your tolerance so you can again get high on just a few hits. <\/p>\n
\n3. Smoking hashish or marijuana affects your ability to concentrate, so don\u2019t smoke them at school, at work or when you are driving a car. <\/p>\n
\n4. Some kinds of hashish or marijuana are stronger than others; they have a higher THC level. An experienced smoker senses when he has had enough. He knows it is time to stop. But if you are a new smoker, you don\u2019t know when to stop. So it is important to get some reliable information first about what you\u2019re are buying. <\/p>\n
\n5. If you aren\u2019t experienced, it is not a good idea to combine smoking with drinking any kind of alcoholic beverages. Alcohol can also suppress some of the more subtle effects of cannabis and turn a high into a downer. <\/p>\n
\n6. When you have space cake, it is difficult to know how much cannabis you are eating. Before you know it, you will have too much. So start with a small piece. It can take anywhere from forty-five minutes to an hour and a half before you feel anything. Wait for it to take effect before you have another piece, otherwise you are sure to overdo it. <\/p>\n
\n7. Sometimes smoking hashish or marijuana might not agree with you. It can lead to nausea or anxiety. Find a quiet place to relax, and eat or drink something sweet. Do not panic. In an hour, the worst of it will be over. Taking a megadose of B complex vitamins can help you come down faster. <\/p>\n
\n8. If you are taking any kind of medication, consult a doctor before you smoke hashish or marijuana. Never smoke them if you are pregnant. If you are feeling ill you should not smoke. <\/p>\n
\n9. When you smoke hashish or marijuana, substances (tar and carbon monoxide) are released that are harmful to your health. Using a water pipe or bong greatly reduces the tar content of smoke. <\/p>\n
\n10. Be aware that if you smoke cannabis mixed with tobacco, you are also smoking tobacco. Nicotine is addictive. If you are handed a joint, always ask if it contains tobacco before smoking it. To avoid catching a cold or other infection, it\u2019s always a good idea to smoke your own joint or pipe. Passing a joint seems cool, but might be unwise. <\/p>\n
\n11. Do not buy hashish or marijuana on the street. Look for a good coffeeshop. <\/p>\n
\n12. Do not take any hashish or marijuana with you when you go abroad. <\/p>\n
\n13. Respect the herb, it\u2019s a gift to mankind. Respect yourself and don\u2019t overdo it! <\/p>\n
