There are several ways to consume cannabis, including smoking, vaping, edibles, and concentrates. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to smoke cannabis:
This place should include any interesting facts from the books by Terry Pratchett which do not fit into the categories [[List of Pratchett characters|Characters]] and [[List of Discworld locations|Locations]].


1. **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.
The [[Discworld (world)|Discworld]], or at least [[Ankh-Morpork]], the city which considers their opinion the most important, has recently left behind the ''[[Discworld calendar|Century of the Fruitbat]]'' (see ''[[Book:The Truth|The Truth]]''), and moved into the ''[[Discworld calendar|Century of the Anchovy]]'' (see ''[[Book:Going Postal|Going Postal]]'').


2. **Acquiring Smoking Accessories:** You'll need a few basic accessories to smoke cannabis. These include:
{{listdev}}
  - 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.


3. **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.

4. **Rolling a Joint:** To roll a joint, follow these steps:
See also [[:Category:Discworld Flora & Fauna]] and [[:Category:Discworld humanoid species]] for a more complete list.
  - 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.


5. **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.
