Doobie Doo is from popular stoner culture. When the person who has lit a joint, spliff, doob, exotic jazz cigarette or reefer and taken their share the time comes to pass it on to the next partaker, in some circles it is correct practice to "Pass the doobie on the left hand side" however this method can leave alot to be desired as stoners, eager to get high, clamour to be the left-most person of the person with the weed. This can create a general sense of unease and attract bad karma. Rather than meddle with the ethereal many groups instead employ the the doobie doo method. In groups of three or more people the doobie doo method is at its most effective. The keeper of the kif, at an unexpected time says, or shouts, "Doobie" upon hearing this those wishing to smoke next race to be the first person to respond "DOO!". The person who manages this task gets the grass. This can continue until everybody has an order in the doobie queue or it can just continue in the same general direction until everyone has had some.
The benefits of the doobie doo method over the commonly espoused left hand side method are simple yet effective. Primarily, by awarding the alert, it allows the more sober to catch up with those a little higher who will, undoubtedly, have a dulled reaction time. Secondly it can turn a standard smoking atmosphere into a more fast paced environment encouraging friendly competition and thus changes the dynamic of a group social situation and may allow a person from outside the usual social circle to feel part of the group.
