I used to say fuck pricey pot, but after getting my weed card and I can grow my own now I will not smoke regs period. I say go for it and get some stanky ass smelling smoke. Like said above, if it smells like a skunk or a fine smelling neden put your lips on it and try it out. Dont lick the joint unless your rolling one up, pussy have at it lick all you want.

If you're gonna smoke weed, smoke the good stuff. Don't smoke regs, waste of money. Whatever smells more like a skunk, you'll want. If it's purple, take it. If its brown, stringy and schwag, punch the dude who sold that to you. I don't advise any other drugs there cause who knows what these people did to their shit. And I never bought weed there, always had my own supply. But anything you need; bowls, pipes, papers, they have it there, the Juggalo 7-11 Mart gots the hook up.

Usually I would never advise this but if "noob" wanted to get stoned for the first time and ur  goin to the gathering and wanting to save some $$$ reg or we call shwag is cheap as fuck and if u never smoked you will get high as fuck for sure.Get more for ur $$$ but if u never smoked one hit of the bomb will take u to the moon

You will be fine with just weed. Make sure you have good friends with you though if you try anything else.

being new to it, id expect some ninja or another would be happy to smoke theirs with you. 

thats actually a really great scavenger tip haha im a suggest my homie to use that line this year..

having said that, marijuana being the relatively benign drug that it is, youll most likely be alright.  of course, if youve really never smoked before, you probably dont want the good good.  youll end up sitting still in a daze for three hours. 

being new to it, id expect some ninja or another would be happy to smoke theirs with you.  failing that, the buddah is abundant.  should be no trouble to find some. 

[edit]  gordy aint bringin no blunts to the gathering, hell have a line of juggalos beggin to smoke him out.
