Joints: This is the method of the working class citizen. It is the most common way to smoke marijuana, and for Joe Blow, there is nothing like a joint with the guys after a hard day of work (especially if it is heavy labor or if you are Mexican.)

Blunts: This method is used by one who wants to convey an image of style and sophistication. Typically those who embrace the luxuries of hip hop culture enjoy blunts, because it is the closest that a black person will get to enjoying the common luxury of the white man, which is of course, the Cuban cigar.

Editorial note: Cuban cigars do live up to the hype, but what good do they do for you?

Bowls/Pipes/One-Hitters: This method indicates that the toker has an aura of creativity about them. Many a time, bowls and pipes are christened with names, and are embraced like a child or a pet. Metal and wood pipes indicate a conservationist with style. Glass bowls signify a persons desire to express their individuality. The one-hitters are the craftiest of them all, for they are the ones who are best at hiding their habit. Typical one-hitters take the shape of hi-liters, cigarettes, and bullets.

Editorial note: Me likey the bullet.

Bongs: This method of smoking is typical among co-eds, who always have something to prove to their peers. They are for the ones who need to affirm their own strength and masculinity. Like pipes, they are also christened and cared for, but it is imperitive that they be carefully maintained or disguised. Some bongs can be passed off as vases, like the one a friend and I bought and shared joint custody of (get it, joint custody...hahahahaha.) The more butch varieties on the other hand, best they be kept in a walk-in closet or similar place.

Baked Goods: The ones who use reefer as an ingredient in a recipe are an interesting breed. This indicates a person who is in touch with their femininity. The brownie bakers are a nurtuing breed, for they enjoy a more formal get together so they can show that they too can be cool. Of course, they always succeed, for love is the answer, and that's alright.

Hookahs: The people who use hookahs are on a completely different plane than most people. They are typically the ones who take pleasure in communal spaces and unity among their fellow man. They are often times very spiritual, and many people can learn a lesson or two from them. When one encounters a hookah, they should have a pen and paper handy.

Makeshift Paraphernalia: These are your MacGyver types. They can use a rubber band, a straw, and a bag of Skittles and make a device that will get you to Bob Marley levels of euphoria. One method that me and some friends have developed uses a plastic soda bottle, a straw, and a small piece of tin foil with pin holes in it. We have dubbed this invention "Bottle Billy". Fruit, such as mangos and apples, can also provide a perfect treat at 4:20.

In conclusion, it wouldn't be surprising if there are still people who refer to reefer as muggles. Either these people are square or they can be your best friends. Just ask them if they want any and you'll see which one this person is. Thanks for reading.
