There is very little weed on the appalachian trail.

Just kidding. For me it was all about efficiency. Pre-grind your weed and put it in a small jar that fits in your pocket with a glass one hitter with a big bowl. You can just scoop that one hitter into your jar and have a bowl to smoke without having to stop and take your pack off, break up weed, roll a joint, and slow your hike down and lose an hour or two of day light to hike in. Be a professional.

Literally smoke everywhere - without being a dick or being an idiot and getting caught. Probably 80% of people indulge. Be considerate of the 20% who aren't into it.

Hitch hike 4 hours to a grateful dead show with a former undercover cop with an ounce on top of your pack for bonus points.

Buy in bulk when a good opportunity arises. There's a lot of BS out there and hustlers. A lot of people used tinder to find weed locally.
