Don’t Bogart That Joint – Or Should You?

“To bogart” is the slang term for keeping something that should be shared (most commonly, marijuana), for holding something delicious that would delight the others around you to yourself. The etymology of the phrase is not clear, but many think that the coined word was inspired by the way Humphrey Bogart used to keep his cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth in his movies.

There are lots of things that are more enjoyable when they not “bogarted”, among them, one that is synonymous with sharing and that is marijuana. One of the features that make marijuana such a popular glue for companies of friends is the sense of sharing. Though marijuana can nowadays be enjoyed in many ways, one of the most common methods is still smoking it in the form of long joints that are passed around in a circle of friends, with everyone taking a drag from the joint, then giving it to the person sitting next.

The sense of sharing is very closely associated with enjoying marijuana, but even so, many marijuana reform groups warn about the risks of the practice. The close contact involved between the smoker and the joint or vaping device can promote the spreading of viral infections that spread with droplets, so you might want to consider bogarting yours after all.

Whether you decide to share or bogart your own, find all sorts of quality and popular marijuana products at trendy Pueblo pot shops.
