There are several ways to consume cannabis, including smoking, vaping, edibles, and concentrates. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to smoke cannabis:

Choosing Cannabis: Start by selecting the right strain of cannabis for your needs. Indica strains are known for their relaxing effects, while Sativa strains are known for their energizing effects. Hybrid strains offer a balance between the two. You can purchase cannabis from a dispensary or grow your own if it's legal in your area.

Acquiring Smoking Accessories: You'll need a few basic accessories to smoke cannabis. These include:

  Rolling papers: Thin, porous papers that allow you to roll joints or blunts.
  A bong: A water filtration device that cools and filters the smoke.
  A pipe: A handheld device with a bowl and a stem to smoke cannabis.
  A grinder: A tool used to grind cannabis buds into smaller particles for easier burning.
  A lighter: A device to ignite the cannabis.

Preparing Cannabis: If your cannabis is in bud form, you'll need to grind it before smoking. This can be done using a grinder or by breaking it up with your fingers. Make sure the cannabis is evenly ground for a consistent burn.

Rolling a Joint: To roll a joint, follow these steps:

  Lay a rolling paper flat and place a filter tip at the end (optional).
  Spread a small amount of cannabis evenly along the paper, leaving room at the top.
  Fold the bottom half of the paper up over the cannabis and roll it into a tube shape.
  Seal the joint by licking the glue line on the rolling paper.

Lighting and Smoking: Light the joint or blunt using a lighter. Hold the flame to the tip of the joint, allowing it to burn evenly. Take slow, deep breaths, holding the smoke in your lungs for a few seconds before exhaling.

Bong or Pipe: To smoke using a bong or pipe, follow these steps:

  Place a small amount of ground cannabis in the bowl of the bong or pipe.
  Light the cannabis using a lighter.
  Inhale slowly through the mouthpiece to draw the smoke into your lungs.
  Hold the smoke in your lungs for a few seconds before exhaling.

Maintaining Your Accessories: Regularly clean your bongs, pipes, and other accessories to keep them free of resin and bacteria. This will ensure a smooth smoking experience and help prevent the spread of infection.

Storing Cannabis: Store your cannabis in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to preserve its potency and freshness.

-The political entity that rules over the entire [[Counterweight continent]], and also once used to have heavy influence on foreign countries as powerful as [[Ankh-Morpork]], until the Agatean government lost interest in all places foreign and, in order to keep citizens happily toiling away within the walls of the Empire, told the citizens that all foreign lands were barren wastelands with howling ghosts.

Hybrid strains offer a balance between the two. You can purchase cannabis from a dispensary or grow your own if it's legal in your area.
-Gold is common on the Counterweight continent, and deemed less valuable by Agateans than as regarded by foreigners. Once upon the time, the Agateans were more technologically advanced: [[iconograph]], spectacles, dentures, and so on. These devices were soon copied by foreigners when [[Twoflower]] the tourist went out into the world, and speedily evolved in the hands of the [[Wizard's magic|wizards]], artificers, [[Alchemists' Guild|alchemists]] etc. in [[Ankh-Morpork]]. [[CMOT Dibbler|Some Agateans]] think that foreigners are flesh-and-blood humans who might have some money to buy some Agatean products, but tend to think that foreigners have nothing and therefore everything is worth selling: silk (which Ankh-Morpork in fact buys from [[Klatch_(continent)|Klatch]]) or tea which is bought from [[Howondaland]] etc.

+   Rolling papers: Thin, porous papers that allow you to roll joints or blunts.

-The Agateans do not understand how much power can be derived from their gold. The Agatean government had once wielded huge naval fleets, but had ceased contact with the other countries and therefore its influence was diminished. The Agatean Empire, then, is an agricultural country with no exports and no influences on world politics except when a foreign ruler remembers the fear that they once regarded the Empire with. The Empire has turned its forces inward, having a formal and showy civil war between feudal lords every time that an Emperor needs to be selected, and oppressing revolutionaries who talk about the sort of freedom found in the outside world. The Agatean Empire has become one of the sources of the refugee sort of immigrants who arrive in Ankh-Morpork.

-When the Discworld chronicles began, the Agatean Empire was ruled by an idealistic and possibly more open-minded boy Emperor (see ''[[Book:The Colour of Magic|The Colour of Magic]]''), who was clever enough to turn a Grand Vizier's murder scheme against himself (see ''[[Book:Mort|Mort]]''). The boy Emperor was likely subsequently, successfully murdered, as the Empire was ruled by a whimsical old man and again oppressive when a [[Silver Horde|certain group]] of [[barbarian heroes]] invaded (see ''[[Book:Interesting Times|Interesting Times]]''). After the barbarian heroes successfully seized the throne, diplomatic relations were re-established, and embassies of, for example, [[Ankh-Morpork]], were settled in the capital city [[Hunghung]]. The barbarian-minded new Emperor subsequently deserted the throne and went on yet another quest (see ''[[Book:The Last Hero|The Last Hero]]''), and the subsequent political arrangements within the Empire are clarified in {{CDA}}. Apparently the Revolution succeeded and there is no longer an Emperor. The country is now The [[People's Beneficent Republic of Agatea]], headed by the Chairman of the People's Committee.

-[[Bes Pelargic]] is a seaport in a remote corner of the Agatean Empire. Being from Bes Pelargic is a good excuse for eccentricities.
+Lighting and Smoking: Light the joint or blunt using a lighter. Hold the flame to the tip of the joint, allowing it to burn evenly. Take slow, deep breaths, holding the smoke in your lungs for a few seconds before exhaling.

-Its huge size, the horseman-baiting wall around it, its former political and scientific prominence followed by centuries of introverted stagnation and feuding warlords, followed in turn by the formation of a people's republic - not to mention its [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terracotta_Army its flowerpot soldiers] - make it obvious which [[Roundworld]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China country the Agatean Empire is a parody of]. Other small references to East Asian culture make it a vague portmanteau of the region in general, although cameo references to places such as [[Grimchi]] and [[Bhangbhangduc]] have helped to separate it out some.
