Is there a ####in' manual I can read or something?
You can learn to do about anything from youtube.
I despise youtube. Any other way?
What exactly are you trying to learn? I'm sure somebody here can help you.
everything.1) difference in plants/strains - loved reading that email, but understood little of it
2) difference in methods and how to use
3) how to keep it fresher
4) how to pack a bowl better
1) Doesn't matter in the least. People will tell you that a sativa will give you a different high than an indica but they are marginal differences at best. I think they are now providing the THC % content and that is probably the only useful info you need (like ABV with alcohol). They will try to tell you about flavors, nuances and "notes" and that is complete and utter B.S. It's weed, you smoke it, it's not fine wine...and I consider those things to be complete and utter B.S. for wine too.
2) Smoke or eat. I prefer pretty much all smoking methods to eating methods. Edibles take longer to kick in leading people to think it's not working so they eat more too soon and end up getting way too high and having a bad experience.
3) Smoke more, faster.
4) Put weed in bowl and tamp it down a bit. Doesn't matter if you take a nice small bud that fits perfectly or grind some up and pack it although you will probably get more hits off the former because the latter tends to turn to ash a bit quicker and get sucked in the chamber easier. If you are rolling jays then you need to grind first.
