I haven't bought a gram since I was like 14... Stupid ass way to buy weed honestly, I mean if you smoke less frequently or whatever fair enough I guess but I can't justify the price really.
How I would break up a gram would depend on so many factors, what the weed was like, my mood, who I was with, time of day etc. Most often I will chop up my weed with scissors, mix it with a smallish amount of cigarette tobacco and proceed to smoke this mix through one hit style bongs. The second most frequent way would be to grind it up, mix with a bit of tobacco (pref rolling, cigarette will do in a pinch though!) and then roll a European style spliff, with a crutch and slightly coning shape. After that I sometimes will roll a blunt and/or smoke a dry pipe, both of those options are pretty rare though. Bongs and joints do me pretty solid.
