Spliff politics

"Spliff politics" is a general rule of thumb practiced by smokers of cannabis. Although there are no rules as such, spliff politics is seen more as an etiquette when participating in the consumption of cannabis, although it is not limited to the realms of cannabis, and is followed by users of other drugs. In a communal group of smokers, spliff politics is designed so that the responsibility of preparing the drug is spread around all the participants of the session as well as making sure all persons get an equal share of the drug. In smoking sessions of 3 people or less, the etiquette is still observed, albeit on a smaller scale.

Basic elements
Spliff Politics is regional, and can vary from group to group, or country to country. For example, a user is likely to get much more deeply stoned from a blunt, than from a joint. Therefore, rolling the blunt is usually undertaken by a volunteer, whereas joint rolling is undertaken by all participants, in order. There are some basic politics that most cultures observe:

While smoking a blunt, it is often courteous to use the "puff, puff, pass" rule until the blunt is burned down to the roach, and is then often changed to one hit a piece until the blunt is gone.

It is commonplace to pass the smoking medium to the person sitting to one's left-hand side after use.
