Going to Oregon to meet some friends for a few days. They don't smoke at all but are curious and willing to imbibe a bit. I have previously gotten them edibles (Federally Legal Delta 9) but want to introduce them to some smoking as well if they are interested. I also want to get a little fucked up in a legal state.

What should I be looking for at the dispensary? I dry herb vape my black market flower down here, but I am not gonna try to get my vape through TSA.

Should I try to buy a cheap bong up there? Never used one, but I hate joints, they make my lungs burn and I cough more than I inhale.

Should I just stick with edibles? I also kind of want to try RSO but not sure I want to get THAT fucked up. I enjoy doing high doses by myself but I won't have an opportunity to be alone on this trip.

Weed is pretty cheap and dispensaries are all over the place in places like Portland and Bend, so why not just go in and pick up a variety of things like a pack of gram sized (bigger joints feel smoother to me, since you have more distance from the cherry) pre-rolls and some gummies or chocolates? You can get a lot of different cannabis stuff for ~$50 in Portland.

Also make sure not to go too hard when you smoke joints. You don't want to suck in like a straw, just gently inhale. And you really don't need to take giant hits or hold them in forever, small shallow puffs will do you just fine. No need to optimize, the weed is strong and cheap enough that just passing around a gram taking small puffs will do you right.

Be careful with edibles for newbies too, it's very easy for people to take too much and have a bad experience. A single ~5mg or ~10mg (for a bigger person) gummy will be a good place to start, and make sure your friends wait like an hour for it to settle in.
