Cannabis image that i bought

Hi, I’m new to this site and new to the world of cannabis.

I bought some cannabis and cut it into small pieces with scissors, then put it in my pipe and tried to light it, but the flame went out after just a few seconds. I tried lighting it several times, but whenever I did, it would go out again within seconds. What did I do wrong? Why did the flame only stay lit for a few seconds? How do I do it the right way?

I read on this site that you can eat cannabis to feel the effects and that the experience is different from smoking. But I’m worried it might taste bad.

Please be patient with me, and sorry for any trouble.

I don't know what kind of cannabis I have; I don't know anything about the subject, even though cannabis is very famous in my city. I bought it just to try it out.
 
do you not have a friend you can ask? for some reason I'm struggling to communicate to you how to do something that I've been doing myself for decades, soz! Surely there is "how to" info all over the internet, no?

if it's green plant matter break it up into tiny bits (or buy a grinder and grind it up) , stick in pipe with a gauze, puff away. Or learn to roll a joint/blunt. Or buy a vapouriser and go from there

if its a resin, heat it slightly so if fluffs up in your fingers, stick it in pipe and puff away, or make a joint with tobacco (you can just use a single paper like you would a roll-up)

my communication skills seem to have taken a hike today but someone else will no doubt pop in here at some point and do a better job of it
 
Don't use any method that requires water ie a bong or a bucket (if anyone knows what that is)
It's weird your pipe is doing that because that's probably the best way cos you can put small amounts in
In a jam I could make a pipe out of a soda can but you have to scrape all the dangerous paint of ,also needs a air hole at top so don't recommend it
Is it possibly air flow on your pipe that's the problem

what's wrong with a bong? you some kinda bong-hater? It's a great way to consume, imo!

I haven't had any friends since March 2020.

Should I have cut the cannabis into smaller pieces? Was that the mistake?

a LOT of people say they can't feeli it first time...its a well known phenomena and its because they don;t know what being stoned IS yet

they also probably didn't have a big ol' water bucket!

There's an art to making a bucket
Cut a 2litre pepsi bottle 3/4s up from bottom
Next you need a 750ml glass bottle ,preferably in bru lol
You then have to use a metel rod or poker and in one swift action knock bottom of glass bottle out(from inside)
Put inside plastic bottle ,fill plastic bottle with water ,tin foil gause on glass bottle then slowly pull up glass bottle while burning hash
You then get a tremendous amount of smoke which you inhale all at once
They will know they are stoned after that lol

OK you probably don't have a mesh gauze on your pipe ,I made my own pipe in college using a brass plumbing elbow!! Do not use brass to smoke through
I quickly changed it to a stainless steel fitting but obviously I had to use a metal mesh gauze
Maybe your putting to much in at once ,you need airflow
Someone on the site will explain it better than I ever could but some of these new weed strains don't give much anxiety when stoned so maybe its just subtle
 
Over time of having to break up buds by hand, grinders are helpful. They grind it to small enough pieces that make it easy to light.
You can still smoke big pieces of bud, it just takes a little bit to light and burns slower.
