Consequently, coffee shops will request a valid proof of identity or a residence permit for entry and purchases.

Weed or hash is sometimes smoked in rolling papers mixed with tobacco. This is called a "blunt." A "stickie" refers to a 'pure' joint, where the weed and/or hash is rolled in a rolling paper with a "tip" without the addition of tobacco. This term is also used to refer to a regular or inside-out rolled joint.
Why use a tip in a joint?
The reason why cannabis users use a tip in a joint is not because it's better or healthier, but because it allows them to smoke the entire joint without any wastage. Additionally, when using a tip, there is no risk of getting bits of tobacco or weed in your mouth while smoking.
How do you know you're stoned?

Being high typically refers to an uplifting or energetic effect, primarily characterized by psychological effects. Being stoned, on the other hand, refers to a more physical and relaxed state, often accompanied by a lack of motivation to move. Both being high and being stoned can result from the consumption of hash and weed.
Can you get stoned if someone smokes next to you?
By passive smoking, you may receive a small amount of THC, and if the joint is mixed with tobacco, you may also ingest nicotine. However, these amounts are too small to cause a noticeable psychological effect.
Which is stronger, sativa or indica?
The strength of cannabis is not solely determined by whether it is sativa or indica. The terms "sativa" and "indica" are used to describe the plant's physical characteristics and growth patterns rather than its potency. However, there is a common perception that sativa strains tend to produce more uplifting and energizing effects, while indica strains are associated with more relaxing and sedative effects. The actual potency depends on the specific strain and its cannabinoid and terpene profile. It's essential to consider factors beyond just sativa or indica when assessing the strength or effects of a particular cannabis strain.
