joints vs. bowls

[MVilleToker]

which do u prefer?

[kevy cola]

Bowls outa a water bong for sure. Joints are wasteful

[MVilleToker]

Yea , i prefer a nice bong over a joint.....plus i luv tha sond ....lol :D ...blurb blurb blurb

[ShaolinMonk]

a bong for the hit and a nice spliff to chill out after...need something to do with hands....

[hunny]

:confused: :cool: lol i must be the odd one out then ,,i prefer a joint an i have the odd bong ,,

[smokette]

well i prefer a blunt lol :cool:

[Boojum]

LOL I was gonna say that. I been tokin over 15 years, but only smoked my first blunt on Monday. Now I'm a total convert, but there's only a couple of shops that sell them here & they're well expensive. Worth it, though ;)

[Chief2Fish]

I use a bong mostly myself. I have a humidifier in my bsmt. where the computer is, it goes "blub,blub,blub" like the bong every 10 mins or so, seems to remind me to pack up the bong again :D so I do. then i do again :cool:

[roja901]

I've only been smokin for about a year, but to me, shitty weed smokes much better in a blunt than a pipe or joint, but the opposite is true when it comes to good dope.

But that's just me.

[lee thal]

i'm more of an all round bong and blunt and joint person myself.
but i'de have to say i like joints better out of the 3, nothing better than a jam-packed joint before you go to bed, and there aint nothing better than chilling on a sunday morning smoking dope with your girl, both laying in bed, passing a joint to each other*falls into a world of flashbacks*, blrblrblrblr, sorry i just got carried away lol.

peace out y'all!!!!

[hunny]

:p been there done that :cool:

[quackers]

i roll pinners..and use hemp papers, they burn slow....blunts are good tho but i dont want the tobacco.. :D

[squeak]

joints in public and when you're on the move, bongs if you're at home or in a private place...

[peji]

Long as I'm Smokin :) j's when I'm cruizin & bong at parties

[Chronic89]

Im gonna go with joints when im driving and bongs any other times, i feel so much more ripped after a few BTs then an entire joint.

[amorphis]

BONG!!
actually i prefer a hand pipe spoon/sherlock/hammer over anything out there. :D

[ermitonto]

Gravity bongs, for the sole reason that they fuck you up like nothing else does.

[guavajoose]

joint

[Howson]

when alone i prefer a bong but when with mates nothing beats passing round the old spliff or blunt

[BlindFellow]

when alone: Spoon or bong
with friends: joint, its just easier

[smknjoe]

Bongs are the way to go!!!

There are numerous reasons why bongs are better then joints:

1. bongs filter out harmful chemicals but THC can still pass through water
2. you can smoke all the weed! and not have to throw away the little bit at the end (roach)
3. after you take a hit you can easily put the chery out with your lighter so that you don't loose any smoke
4. you can get stoned a hell of a lot quicker with a bong then a joint
5. you can take big hits of smove filtered smoke
6. bongs are more hygenic when smoking with other people: with joints when you pass it round it gathers saliva and you end up with soggy joint - yuk! where as with a bong you can just clean the mouth piece with your shirt etc
7. There are many other reasons why bongs are better then joints but i just couldn't be fucked thinking of any more cause i'm to fucking stoned! :p

[EminEM1]

Yeah Bongs are the best! And make sure you mix weed with tabocco smkjoep

[Universer]

For several years, all I ever knew was the joint. I wasn't a frequent smoker anyway, and of course a joint is an easy way to transport dope from a friend's house to my house.

But in the past couple of months, another friend has introduced me to the bong -- and I realize just how wasteful and inefficient joints can be, especially if you're smoking alone. With bongs, you get virtually all of the hit. Nothing escapes into the ether. The main disadvantage to me is the unwieldiness of the bong I use: it's huge.

So, yeah: Bong for me, please. :)

[smknjoe]

eminem if you want to mix tabaco with your awsome LEAF do that m8, but i think i'll leave my weed as it is, and not pollute it with any shitty tabaco :)

[eclectic]

Bongs, all the way. I want to try a vaporiser some day too.

[EminEM1]

smknjoe your doctor called me and told me to tell you that scientists havent made a medication to make you normal yet.

[mellow mood]

wtf man your just so arrogant an stupid. what is the purpose of mixing fuckin tobacco with weed????? it taste like shit, no, even worse, makes u dependant, cost u money, dont even gets you high. so, whats the purpose of smoking tobacco????? i think everybody who's smoking tobacco, or almost everybody, are smoking it cauz they wanted to look cool when young or whatever the shitty reason an now they are dependant! yes, continue to encourage the big industries that makes money with you, and you, all blind, you smoke tobacco and tell to everyone to smoke it. wtf??? open your eyes man. ok, the taste of REAL tobacco, like cigars, THAT is good, but fuckin cigarets with like 2000 hemical products... pffff. makes me laugh to see how much people smoke that shit and depense their money on it. anyway, thats my opinion. anyone agree?

uncle SaM

[smknjoe]

HA HA HA HA LMFAO I totally agree mellow, BONG ON PEOPLE!

[EminEM1]

I smoke tobacco with my weed because I like it. I think it gives me a better high when i mix it. Like Ive grown up smoking it that way. It's what most people in my country do. I think its great so smoknjoe you can ram your bong up your ass :)

[mrxthethcman]

Bongs are the best hit.But joints spliffs what ever you want to call them,are best smoked with buddys (friends).Its a social thing.
Joints in the uk are usally rapped up with tabacco,that how everyone i know here raps them up.Thats got to be a couple of hundred people or so.even when i went to Dam everyone i was socialising with was using tabacco in there joints.But when pulling cones i like pure freshly ground up "ERB".

[Atomic Dragon]

Bongs are great! I do bongs at home. A small acryllic may work for traveling, but make sure no one can see you smoke.
Joints are best for travel. They are not that wasteful if you roll em right. A good tight roll (not so tight you can't smoke em of course) works wonders. I have rolled em where that can last 10 to 15 minutes. If you can'troll tight cigarette machines will help out.
Wired paper is great for passing weed in tight places and you can smoke it all. Gives a whole new meaning to the term "right down to the wire".

[IntelInside]

Ill stick with bowls becuse i like when i pack a realy fat bowl that last long, besides i like to look at the bowl when i somke out of it. ppl can see that i got a monster hit.

[Cronton83]

I'd take a joint over a pipe, a blunt over a joint and a water bong of a blunt.

....**** yeah I'm stoned******

[jupiter]

i prefer joints, they stone for longer...

[godzbudz]

both r good at times, if ur with a group of m8s u cant all sit around doin bongs, cuz ppl just get mouldy and dont talk, joints r much more sociable when ur with m8s and u can play games with em2make em more interesting. with bongs its just take a hit sit back 4 a while do it again. i do like a good bong if im on my own after work or with like one other person

[smokette]

as long as im getting stoned lol :p

[OrangeHairs INC]

I have been smoking for like 5 years and i have never like joints, they dont get you nearly as high as a bong. Second of all like sonme of you people sound really lazy of you think passing a bong around is more work then passing a joint its the same shit. Just a bit heavyer, I think its alot easier to smoke weed in a bong with friends. Take your hit, take your chamber pass, joints arent as easy to do cause someone might take more hits then they are supposed to or they might take a bigger hit, bongs take away all that hassle. And plus they get you fucked more!

[311junkie]

imagine this:
sitting in ur pajamas, watching saturday morning cartoons, a big ass bong in your lap. what could be better? they arent wasteful and it hits you like a bag of bricks if you have a really nice hitter. but the question could also be raised, would you prefer a bong with a large chamber and not that much water in the bottom or a lot of H20 in the reservoir and a tiny chamber? i myself would prefer the larger chamber. when you suck that sh*t in, you know you got a nice hit of thick, delicous smoke. they are a bitch to clean though. thats their only draw back.

[Lulu]

I think I need to get a bong....something dawning.......always wanted one...always said when I moved out of my parents house I would.....had 3 kids, four moves,one housebuild,4 pets............forgot........It's on 2moro's 2do list..........where'd I put that list........In the famous word's of my Mother (she has Alzheimer's - well ye gotta laugh) my bread is cabbaged!

[311junkie]

yea, its about time to get one. if not make it. there are plenty of plans out there and they are fun to make. i feel like if you make the bong, you are more attatched to it. i dont know about everyone else but i get attatched to my peices. i just broke my first bowl. it was sad, that thing has been with me since day 1 and now it's gone.....*sob* oh well. time to buy a hot ass sherlock instead of a 10 dollar gas station peice.

[Dingo]

try www.everyonedoesit.com they have great plans on "homemade" bongs

[kissthesky420]

I think every device has it's own utility...blunts fuck me over completely (and I mean that in a good way, but you guys knew that), joints are great when you're in motion (smoked one every day for a year on the a.m. walk to my streetcar on the way to work), my glass pipe was great for breaks at work (walking around the French Quarter, taking hits in the alleys), and bong hits are like bullets to the head when you don't have ammo to waste. But I think my favorite way to get high is communally, with the help of a hookah. Just something about getting simultaneous bong hits with, like, four fellow smokers. Very "peace pipe" and all...

[LeMuR]

well on the joints-VS-bongs q.
i prefer...joints. ya can transport them, share them easily an chuck 'em if the police or parents or whoever comes along.
But bongs are great, i make my own (mcGuiver style :p )

I put tobacco in joints, but only because there is virtually NO weed im my area. lets put it this way, if i wanted to make a pinner out of pure weed, it would cost me about 7 euro.
Solid is all i can get here, but i use rolling tobacco or weak tobacco like silk cut blues.

[Spikess]

personaly i dont smoke, but when it comes to getting stoned a prefer a joint, mainly because it takes a while for it to hit you (least me) as i'm not much of a hash person. i just do it every so often. so when i do i prefer it to hit me slowly so i still feel comfortable, i cant even smoke a whole joint and i put as little tobacco in as possible as the stuff makes me feel sick. although i do like the occasional bucket..buckets make me do some weird as shit.

if i do smoke a whole joint i usualy end up falling asleep.

[mr sativa]

I like bongs better then joints. Its just something about papers i dont like. Blunts on the other hand would be my first choice though. Pipes second. Bongs Third. And Joints fourth.

[Cas420]

nothings cooler than smoking a joint while driving in your car :cool:

[gunja1]

I smoked bongs for a few years and i regreted it. i think bongs are dirty especially when shared between friends. They are very bad for ur lungs because the smoke is drawn so far back into the lungs. I prefer a joint, i think they are also more mature than bongs. Bongs are for young kids :D

[Leftover Crack]

i disagree to the above post, i mean either way the smoke gets in your lungs, the bong filters out someof that crap, so much healthier

[gunja1]

If its a double chamber bong its much better, but i still prefer the relaxing casual comfort of a blunt. peace man :D

[StyleZ]

For me I smoke out of my bowl when I wake up and before I go to bed, and in Public places I smoke joints and when im in a Private place with a friend I smoke blunts, and I say there all good because they get me high and thats all that counts to me :P

[hashmaster420]

i like to hot knife,,,gets me nicley ripped...but of the pipe,bong,or joint...i would prefer the nice phat joint....2 or 3 nice 1/2 gram phattys befor you sleep is wild.

[GotAMinute419]

LOL I was gonna say that. I been tokin over 15 years, but only smoked my first blunt on Monday. Now I'm a total convert, but there's only a couple of shops that sell them here & they're well expensive. Worth it, though

blunts cost beween 68 cents and a dollar...theyre not expensive and you can make youre own bongs for free with stuff you find in the house. id take a bong over anything cause theyre just better and when im with people we still pass a bong around, joints are gone way too fast

[Smokin Trees]

i use a hand pipe myself .. i have papers but don't know how to roll. and every now and then i want a joint . cann't roll so i just pak a bowl

[joker121]

I've only used a bong once, and I 've only puffed a J once, but man nothing quite compares to the classic blub blub blub of a funcking bong man. Joints are a waste, unless you screrwed up your weed. They're easy, and portable, but they go too fast, and are freaking worthless. I'd probably prefer a blunt, but I've never tried one, and don't want to re-addicted to cigs. But yeah, joits are jsut crap, they go wayyyy too fast, get you very littel high, and bongs are just sooom uch more frekaing awesome.
They blow jointso ut of the water(That's not a pun or something.)

[joker121]

BY the way, just an idea, but wouldn't a hot spoon work better than a hot knife?

[david420]

BY the way, just an idea, but wouldn't a hot spoon work better than a hot knife?

with hotknifing u squeeze the bud for the hit between 2 really really hot knife blades so it burns hella fast from both sides. a spoon would be alright if u had a blowtorch or something to heat it better. cant stick them in the element of a stove easily

[joker121]

Would you reccomend hot knifing over a pipe, or bong?

[joker121]

I just got doen making and tokin my first ever hokemade bong bout 4 hours ago. Toked 1 bowl of this shit, man I am still fucking ripped. It was a bigger than average nuggy, and the weed is a bit above average, but man o man do iloves my bizzong. Just creativity, aluminum foil, pvc pipe, duct tape, carpenter's glue, a plastic cup, and a pocket knife.
Its soooooo cool, I made it versatile, so the bowel is my pipe. I just put my pipe in the aluminum foil pipe holder, adn all I haveto do is cover the carb ,and light that shit up baby! I'm still feeling it, all the way!

[kdawg745]

Apperently tin foil/plastic/fiberglass is really bad when it is inhaled, which I hope is true given that I threw away my completely gnarly hockey stick pipe.

[NoSoupForYou]

i smoke out of homemade bongs made out of all that stuff except fiberglass..which cuts up your lungs but owell bongs are just awesome nuff said

[screamingskull]

im bit of a rookie, when we started out all my mates and i used a bong or pipe cos we couldnt roll but then i started smoking joints.

so bongs... i have a small water bong but im curious after reading this thread to get back into it, should i mix the weed with tobacco like a joint? how much? and how much water? how long should the bong last? also its out of this topic but i was reading on another thread about how long to keep hits in and someone was saying that they only kept pulls in forbout 5 seconds but they knew people who did bout 20. when i take a big hit i can set it back in my lungs and breathe through my nose so i can keep it in as ling as i want. is this normal, does it make any difference? plz write back

[joker121]

Only hold yer hits for ten seconda max. Most of the thc is absorbed in the first 3 seconds. after tne, your jsut fucking yer lungs man.
I jsut go for straight up weed, and not filter it at all with tobacco, unless you trying to make it last longer or something.
i guess if your a super lightweight, then tobacco would help, but cigs never did shit for me. ALaways got my friends a little light headed though.
Don't worry abouth ow long a bong should last, just smoke it. I find bong lasts about maybe 10 or 107 minutes, depending on how much weed is in the bowl, if I'm in a rush, I f im not in a rush, I stop and play my geetars between hits and shit.
even if you take hu8ge monster hits, maybe 15 secs MAX for a hit, just take normal sized hits for liek 5 seconds a piece, and you will get mucho lifted my friend.

[BudBuddy]

Joints are my preference. They are more portable, easy to make, and very effective. Bongs are less portable, more spillable, and I think less efficient as well.

But each to their own!

I have tried the Volcano Vaporizer and it is pretty darn good, but sadly not really portable.

[BudBuddy]

should i mix the weed with tobacco like a joint? how much?

NO! Don't mix your pot with tobacco. That's a waste of good pot.

Especially if you don't normally smoke tobacco, then don't mix it with your pot or you will become a tobacco addict.

Pure pot is the best. Why mix it with tobacco? That's a bad idea. Don't do it.

[extremesister]

Ok spliffs are good if u wanna take it easy and relaz. Bongs are for when u want a instant hit. I love both in there own little ways!!!

[420sampson]

Yeah fuck mixing tobacco and weed thats what the Fukcin English do and Joints are great for a lot of people, smoke a personal bowl of kind if your by yourself

[joker121]

Ya, the tobacco and weed thing is pretty stupid, unless you r addicted ,and want ot du both at the smae time.
I made a joint once, and it went wayyyyyy too fast, and only got me a little bit stoned. I agree about the portability thing, but its a waste of weed, unless your smoking with someone else, or at a party.

[andybudsmoka]

If i wanna jus chill out den ill smoke a spliff bt if ya wanna get totally wasted den definitly da bong! u gt more 4 ya money if ya smoke a bong or pipe! does anyone no anything about d budbomb?

[weedfean]

boals beat joints, boals you get a better hit

[joker121]

ya, bowls totally. Bong bowls. How good is a vaporizer?

[Dope Chic]

Bongs all the way!!!

[gs8778]

Love my little ceramic red-eye

[weedfean]

bong are the best

[thrashin]

blunts...all day every day...and a fat bong for a break in between blunts...

[DrGonzo]

Bongs are good...but only pure pot, with cold water...if you have a double-chamber, put HOT water in the first, then ICE (not ice water, ice...cubes or crushed, whichever) in the second. FATTEST RIPS EVER!!

I find when smokin joints that adding tobacco really does help the weed burn better...good for dank weed, or if you don't have enough to make a decent-sized spliff. But tobacco in a bowl doesn't work...makes the weed taste funny, and mucho harshness ensues.

But, in the end, strawberry will always be the Greatest Poptart Flavor Ever.

[DrGonzo]

oh yeah...forgot the question. depends what kinda mood I'm in...joints are better with people, but bongs are easier and get you higher. I smoke a bong on my way to work every morning...usually 2 or 3 bowls will fix me up for a day of corporate time-wasting.


And don't give me any of that crap about 'driving under the influence of narcotics'... the only way weed impairs my ability to drive is if I smoke so much I pass out.

[gs8778]

Bong on the way to work?? While driving? Props to you. Largest thing I can handle while driving is my double bubbler.

[DrGonzo]

Yeah, it takes a little skills...moreso since my wife doesn't even know I smoke, and its technically her car.

Its a small ceramics bong, typical shape (ball with tube)...luckily its pretty tough, cause its taken a beating under the passenger seat. Best advice I've got though, is a bounce tube...take a TP roll (empty) and stuff it with 2 or 3 sheets of fabric softener. Breathe the smoke out through the tube and it smells like fresh laundry!

[gs8778]

oh, so It's not a normal sized bong. makes more sense then. If you like ceramics I love my jawobbla and viper I got from red-eye. You should check 'em out

[DrGonzo]

!!! what IS that rotating thing? I want one! where are they? do you ever set your eyebrows on fire while smoking it?

[AbbaZabba]

If i'm in the car i smoke my ciggarete J. I have one of the ciggarete rollers that take papers that have filter on them all i do is take foam out of the but and puff away i swear dude it makes you higher then just using a regular joint. Plus it's safer in a car to. Bongs are nice also i have like a 5'10 bong and it kicks ass!

[DrGonzo]

<movie quote> abbazabba, you my only friend... </movie quote>

is it the kinda roller that 'stuffs' the empty cig tube? I never got those to work well for weed...made great smokes, tho. I never tried pulling the filter out...I tried tearing it off, but it didn't work too well.

[gs8778]

lol, gonzo. Never my eyebrows but almost my hair, should prob get it cut. I got it from a uk site, and yes they ship to the US. Here ya go
http://www.red-eye.co.uk/store/

[higi]

I think that bongs/pipes are more efficientthan joints because of the smoke that is bursnt off inbetween hits. When I smoke outta my bong I light it only a little and pull until the bowl goes out, that way no smoke is wasted. I would like to see if I could smoke a bong while driving, which would be quite the feat considering I drive a standard. I agree is Bud Buddy in that joints are much more practical if you are going out or with friends. I can hide fairly large joint behind my ear and you cant see it at all becasue my hari is so long.

[thrashin]

BLUNTS

[El Notorious]

Bongs own you

[slipnslide087]

nice glass bongs 100% bongs are the way to go. especially if you have the money for a nice one. i previously had a roor, but the slide broke twice and it doesnt hit quite the same as it used to. i just purchased a new pure glass bong, apparently they cannot import roor bongs to the us anymore. these bongs are no joke. i do not know many ppl who havent thrown up the first time they hit it. if you are tired of the same old high, i suggest a roor bong or a pure glass bong, they rip like no other. mine was $200 but i think there might be some cheaper ones. check em out

[slipnslide087]

oh yeah, it also has an ice catcher, so the smoke is nice and cool...very soothing really

[duppy man]

Never smoked anything but a pipe ( non cig smoker ) and cant say I have missed out on the pleasures of rolling a "J " by the time I am nicely stoned my smoking friends are still in roll mode.... I would say....pipe. over spliff

[MVilleToker]

lol i remeber i started this post so long ago.......i stilll prefer a nice bong hit over most anything..still havent tryed a vapo tho so idk

[budda]

glass bongs and pipes rule over joints but a nice flavored blunt is exceptable.

[ndhawk]

Tough call. I'd have to say that more often than not I use the bowl, I prefer it to the joint even when driving. I don't know how to roll joints, so I only can smoke those with friends that roll them. When I do smoke joints I prefer them with the tobacco actually, and with a mouthpiece. I traveled to Eastern Europe and over there, they roll them like that, it burns alot smoother and flows easier, also because of the mouthpiece there will be no weed in the roach, so you do not waste any that way. With joints that way, taking a few big hits can leave you really ripped, one time even more so than a bowl could. The bowl is most convenient for day-to-day usage, and even now that mine broke into two pieces, it still manages with tape, so that is my choice.

[weedfean]

boals boals boals and more boals then a joint

[311junkie]

glass bongs and pipes rule over joints but a nice flavored blunt is exceptable.

i would have to agree. bong over anything else, but a nice strawberry dutch hits the spot, especially if you fill it with kind...

[duppy man]

I have never tried Tobacco I started to experiment when I was about 13,approx 40 years ago my Fav.method then was to roll out a tiny square of resin heat a knife and put on it the piece of resin and inhale the smoke through a biro.with the inside removed primitive but it worked and to answer the Q as to " J " or bong the latter takes it every time if life is a long road.///whats the pavement..

[JeffJFromKCMO]

joints on the run, or a pipe, bongs when stationery

[coke head123]

ugh...Tobaco in a bowl...nasty...i use a small amount in a joint (around1/5 tobaco) if the weed is really sticky (to make it burn smother without going out), But im a bong man myself

[IntrepidS]

Sure I like the effect of a bowl more then that of a joint but there's nothing like rolling and then toking a nice joint.

[llamaman666]

bowls in a bong, they get u ripped better and arent as harsh, i also love voporizers.

[Seag420]

im bringin back an old thread now. joints r best, but i'll never say no to a bong.

[slipknotpsycho]

def. water bongs with ice in the water.....gets you way more fucked up the the same ammount in a joint....cuz just think....when you hit a bowl if you know how you only burn enough to give you the hit..maybe more...but for the same ammount in a joint it just keeps burning...even when you ain't hitting it....sweets/joints/anything rolled is for atleast two or more ppl....prefferably about 5 or 6 so you can take the hit hold it until it comes back.....the most least unwasteful on rolled weed.

[spiltek]

[B]i prefer my trust ole bucket bong ;)

[sugarmagnolia]

normal glass pipes are definitely the best. witht he bong u get higher but u might as well throw away ur stash. Joints are cool, but uncomfortable when it gets close to the lips.

[slipknotpsycho]

another question.....well two...1st. has anyone noticed that glass bongs or pipes seem less harsh than acrylic, metal, wood, and whatever else they can be made out of....2nd. does anyone have an explination for this?

[Encatuse]

I love me a good blunt when Im with a group. Because I'm an around the world guy, so weed rarely gets wasted if it's a nice 4-5 person group. By myself I'm all about bongs though.

[bowlsnapper2012]

LOL I was gonna say that. I been tokin over 15 years, but only smoked my first blunt on Monday. Now I'm a total convert, but there's only a couple of shops that sell them here & they're well expensive. Worth it, though ;)


wait they sell blunts or blunt wraps?

[slipknotpsycho]

yes..you can go to a headshop or someplace online and buy a cigar paper type thing...that is just like a large paper but...it's cigar paper...they cost about 80 cents american

[Nilfalas]

I like joints, and bongs each in their own respective manner. Joints are great for small groups of people, or when you're moving. Bongs are good if you wanna smoke til' you pass out or just get really fucked up. Flavorwise, though, the vaporizer kicks both their asses..atleast the one I tried the shit tasted out of this world. Have yet to try a blunt though, so I'm looking forward to that.

[Reefer Rogue]

7. There are many other reasons why bongs are better then joints but i just couldn't be fucked thinking of any more cause i'm to fucking stoned! :p


look on the internet for studies done (non-us/non us-gov. sponsored studies). joints are the 'safest' in terms of thc to tar. thats not counting vaporizors. ill post the link if i can findit again

[bowlsnapper2012]

yes..you can go to a headshop or someplace online and buy a cigar paper type thing...that is just like a large paper but...it's cigar paper...they cost about 80 cents american

ok didnt answer my question a BLUNT is a cigar with weed replacing the tobacco or in this case weed rolled in a blunt wrap
a BLUNT WRAP is a little flavored thing that looks like a cigar skain with no weed in it that was my confusion

[mikeandjenherbals]

took a sample of my buddies bongwater to my chem lab, instructor asks me if my friend has a nasty wet sounding cough, he did, and talk about nasty....yuck stick those things in the dishwasher once in a while and dump the water out every time......dry heaves again

[Ride.Me.Toked]

i like the whole process of rolling it

it's almost like a ceremony when it's your 2nd one, or 3rd lol

i live in waianae hawaii... down here it's live by the joint, die by the joint.. of course bowls give you fatter rips and shit like that but the best taste of weed comes from a joint, that and they last longer... and to me, nothing beats a session with da boys passing around a doobie....

[s2headhunter]

i personally think joints are the most wastefull and disgusting thing ever lol sorry i just hate them i love pipes and buckets! I LOVE BUCKETS I LOVE BUCKETS ..BUCKETS BUCKETS BUCKETS...MMMM BUNCHA SMOKE IN MY MOUTHY MMMM lol

[Bel Acres]

I prefer joints over everything at all times.

Even if joints weren't so much cooler than anything else, they still have the advantage of actually rolling the joint. It's very relaxing which is a good thing if I'm about to smoke.

Also, I've only recently become good at rolling so I feel proud when I finish a nice joint.

[DragonZord]

Im gonna go with joints when im driving and bongs any other times, i feel so much more ripped after a few BTs then an entire joint.

Do you find that a joint will smell up the vehicle more or less than a pipe or bong? I've only used a pipe and bong in my truck. My experience is that joints smell way more for some reason, so I havn't been quite comfortable with the idea of joints in a vehicle. Does it take longer to air out if you smoke a joint?

[herbalmeditation]

Does it take longer to air out if you smoke a joint?

weed is weed is weed is weed, my friend.... weed is weed and no matter what if you smoke in your vehicle it's gonna smell chinky... on another note, joints most certainly are NOT wasteful, ever heard of a crutch? next time you're smoking a joint and you get to the roach tear the top off of a match box and roll it into a cylinder... then roll the doobie in it and hit it, it gives you fat hits and allows for you to smoke every last bit of the ganj.. i like pipes and stuff, but after a while they just taste like resin.. after smoking joints all you're life you get used to the full flavor of buds and resin isn't too pleasant.. but hey, every is entitled to their own opinion, that's just mine...

[Dutchmaster]

gotta be bowls joints waste they arent easy to roll either

[SLiC112]

i smoke blunts forever and always...

[dialtone420]

Blunts BLow! Somebody always niggerlips it. Damn ass fingers. Gotta wash your hands. Have a roach. I could go on and on...My 18" Chameleon gets all my attention. Ice and shit.

[Edgar]

Im a joint and blunt person myself, I like how herbalmeditation said it:


down here it's live by the joint, die by the joint.. of course bowls give you fatter rips and shit like that but the best taste of weed comes from a joint, that and they last longer... and to me, nothing beats a session with da boys passing around a doobie....

Also, they arn't wasteful if u roll them right and have someone to pass it to after u take a hit.

[Edgar]

Oh, and yeah, i think joints do take longer to air out, plus for some reason they stink up the place more than bowls do.

[jadeius]

LOL I was gonna say that. I been tokin over 15 years, but only smoked my first blunt on Monday. Now I'm a total convert, but there's only a couple of shops that sell them here & they're well expensive. Worth it, though ;)


Just go to a convenience store, buy a Phillies blunt or a White Owl, bust it open along a straight line, empty out the tobacco...and voila...blunt paper...
You can roll up as little as a gram in these, depending on how long you want it to be.

I thought everyone knew that...oh well, goes to show just how different we are.

[jadeius]

imagine this:
sitting in ur pajamas, watching saturday morning cartoons, a big ass bong in your lap. what could be better? they arent wasteful and it hits you like a bag of bricks if you have a really nice hitter. but the question could also be raised, would you prefer a bong with a large chamber and not that much water in the bottom or a lot of H20 in the reservoir and a tiny chamber? i myself would prefer the larger chamber. when you suck that sh*t in, you know you got a nice hit of thick, delicous smoke. they are a bitch to clean though. thats their only draw back.

I have found that if I put just a few drops of water at the bottom of a water bong and smoke it dry, the heat starts to vaporize the water, and somehow that makes it much much easier to scrape the resin off the walls of the bong. Then, all this resin gets recycled...it's just so easy that way...and you wouldn't believe the amount of resin you can collect just from a quarter bag or a half....

[phillieblunt420]

y not hav both at the same time and get the best of both worlds....but if by urself u cn't beat a bong!

[stonerboy40k]

depends for outdoor smoking in public it gota be a nice inconspicuos 1 skin joint but when im all alon i like a good few bowls

[Nullific]

Im goin with Edgar, if you think joints are wasteful you arnt rolling them right.
Think of all the resin that builds up on bowls and bongs, that right there is waste. With joints you're smoking from tip to end, the smoke is filtered by the remaining bud which is also eventually smoked.
When you smoke a bowl you are constantly applying flame to it, more flame is more heat which is more THC being destroyed. Joints on the other hand you should only have to light once, when you arn't hitting it somebody else should be and even when nobody is hitting it there is only a small trail of smoke rising.
The last hits are the best, and anything that remains can be re-rolled.

The study testing seven smoking devices can be found here: http://www.maps.org/news-letters/v06n3/06359mj1.html

[Dystopia]

I agree tobacco is fucking sick

[Beeblebrox.420]

With joints you're smoking from tip to end, the smoke is filtered by the remaining bud which is also eventually smoked.
And when you're not pulling on the J, where does the smoke go? Yep, into the air. Bye, bye THC. With a bowl, you can cap it off and keep the smoke from escaping after a toke. And the resin isn't wasted. When you get a good buildup of it in the bowl, you scrape it out and get high all over again. Plus, with a bowl, there's no burnt fingers and you don't have to worry about rolling technique or running out of papers. Just pack and toke.

[thewooman]

if you cant be fucked to pass the bong around then get a hooka, you can all sit round and smoke it at the same time and you dont have to pass it round, i hav'nt tried a hooka yet (dont need to, i ussaly smoke on my own, or with a mate of mine) but they would be the best things to use for groups i would imagine

[sToNeDpEnGuIn420]

If im at home just chillin or in a house, i totally want a bowl. BUT if im outside or anywhere else i want a joint, ya got me?

[Nullific]

And when you're not pulling on the J, where does the smoke go? Yep, into the air. Bye, bye THC.
Which is precisely why you pass it, so that when you arn't hitting it somebody else can.
Whatever is lost in the air as smoke is probably made up for by not having to repeatedly re-light and expose the herb to more heat than necessary.
As for resin, you can't scrape it all, THC degrades; resin is basically the by-products of marijuana smoke, CBD and a meager amount of THC. Hell if you like bowls and you like to smoke resin whaatever but a MAPS/NORML study has shown joints to be very efficient.

[Beeblebrox.420]

Hell if you like bowls and you like to smoke resin whaatever but a MAPS/NORML study has shown joints to be very efficient.
Perhaps you should reread that study (http://my.marijuana.com/pipestudy.php3):

The percentage of total THC delivered to the user is called the THC transfer rate. The unfiltered joint scored surprisingly well in smoking efficiency, coming in second place with a transfer rate close to 20%. The portable waterpipe did slightly better, and the bong slightly worse. The other devices did notably worse. The vaporizers and electric waterpipe did especially poorly, with transfer rates less than one-third that of the top three devices.
Unfortunately, they did not test a typical handpipe or bowl. I'd like to see them match a bowl against a joint. On the other hand, the study DID show joints appear to be healthier for your lungs, oddly enough (at least in terms of tar to THC ratio. It is not immediately clear to me how meaningful that is). But if I was worried about that, I wouldn't be smoking in the first place. Heh.

[Nullific]

No need to reread it, you just proved my point: joints are very efficient :eek: and healthy!

[Beeblebrox.420]

But bongs are more efficient. Screw healthy. Heh. ;)

[slipknotpsycho]

ok all of this is a matter of opinion so there's no point in arguing about it....(if yal weren't then mybad but it seems to me like yal are going at it like i dunno...husband and wife or somthing lol) so lets just go smoke both right now and forget about the question....with me doesn't really matter (i do have a preferance tho and it is bowls hands down) how it gets in my lungs in the end, just the fact that it does.... there are times when joints are more appropriate.....i.e. smoking with friends because homedude did have a point the same weed of the same exact weight will burn faster in a bong because of the repeated relighting and extenguishing of the cherry.....and if you got a really big bowl (if metal such as a liberty bell) you are going to end up wasting atleast 3 or 4 hits with all the excesive lighting joints are also better (my opinon) where a bong/pipe would be just to noticeable. if i'm by myself or if i just feel to lazy it's always better (once again my opinion) to just pack a bowl and be done with it.... i don't know how yal are but if i happen to be smoking a j by myself and i'm already stoned i'll put the bitch out...and that too will waste atleast a hit.... just another example of weighing the advantages/disadvantages.

"Disappointingly, waterpipes performed uniformly worse than the unfiltered joint. The least bad waterpipe, the bong, produced 30% more tar per cannabinoids than the unfiltered joint. Ironically, the pipe with the electric mixer scored by far the worst of any device. This suggests that water filtration is actually counterproductive, apparently because water tends to absorb THC more readily than noxious tars. Like the waterpipes, the cigarette filter also performed worse than the unfiltered joint, by about 30%. Researchers speculate this is because cannabinoids are exceptionally sticky and adhere to other solids. Hence, any filtration system that picks up particulates is likely also to screen out cannabinoids."

Joints and blunts will always outsmoke bongs and bowls.
