smoking dictates where you come from

[logie_boy]

why is it like over where i am when people smoke, the majority of the time its joints, where as in the US its mostly bongs and pipes that are smoked, we still smoke pipes bucket bongs waterfalls rockets slinkeys.

i prefer joints, maybe cause im doing something with my hands, but chilling with a joint that you can smoke over a short period of time, rather than taking a hit then just sitting back

[DuhMan666]

I'm really big on blunts.

A nice thick joint can only get me a buzz, i prefer a little bit more intense of a high.

[Metaphor]

in my experience most people in the US smoke blunts, then again this is nyc and everyone smokes blunts. everyone.
not saying that we dont smoke bowls, however there alot less common because most people dont want to carry around a weed-reekin' bowl with nypd combing down the neighborhood

[jonlem88]

Well i think In the US we are a little more paranoid about the government and people smelling it, and thus we want to be able to control when it burns, and that is easier to do with pipes and bongs, though i think we honestly all smoke bongs, blunts, bowls, and jays about equally at least i do, well probably more pipes cause im in the dorms and if you keep it next to a fan blowing out you cant even smell pot in the rooms at in the dorms

[Gundari]

I think its just a matter of personal preferance personally. I like to smoke either a joint or a bowl. Nothing against bongs i love em, i just dont like owning one because they tend to get broken faster then bowls and i like to get a bit of life out of my glass ware. But then again i did have a gravity bong sittin in my room for the better part of 3 months, so like i said i think its just a matter of personal preferance.

[smartin.2006]

I smoke out of my pipe because weed is hard to come by around here. When I smoke out of my pipe I am able to control the amount that is consumed and save on weed.

[cm8883]

This thread reminds me of the time a few months back, a bunch of us were hitting the bong and one of the guys starts to roll up a joint (we were going to the grocery store, so it was for the ride back). His girlfriend asked him why he was rolling a joint, then asked how long he'd had that pack of papers he was holding. He told her about a YEAR. We just don't do joints or blunts around here much.

[Wolfwood]

Me smoke blunts here. If we have a blunt wrap or a cigar, you can bet your ass we'll smoke a blunt. Even if we had a fire ass bong like a Roor, it'd still be a blunt. I smoke bowls alone though because if I smoked blunts by myself my weed would disappear too fast.

[Struck420]

i don't like smoking joints or blunts as much as my bowl/bong not really sure why tho just a preference, or mabe its because i have only smoked like 4 joints this entire year or mabe because i cant roll for shit:(

[Squiggle]

I LOVE smoking BONGS more than ANYTHING!

But my girl HATES bongs,pipes,joints,steam rollers,vapes basically anything except a blunt so thats what I smoke...

But Bongs are my shit man !

[Dr Frylock]

pipe and joints, the pipe is for when i wanna get blitzed. but the joints are for after i smoke and it begins to wear off i just light up a j

[Reefer Rogue]

I learned to blaze in America, from a pipe. I've always held that persona, now it's just waterpipes =]

I still can't roll after nearly 4 years of blazing and i don't give a shite either.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

I've wondered why it's normal and overly common for British to use tobacco when smoking a reefer, where as in the U.S it's not very common at all.

[sonic titan]

I'll smoke out of anything, but my friends and I are blunt dudes

[roth89]

usually pipes by myself... on the weekend it will be joints or blunts with the buddies.... and if its a party or a big get together we get a nice big bong

[logie_boy]

there is a certain kind of atmosphere smoking joints, typical example is we will smoke nothing but joints, however, the joint in the uk its bigger than the joints I've seen americans smoking most of the time. like a standard joint i make is 2 rizzla's long, one ciggarette and then bout .5g of what ever I'm smoking, if I'm smoking with another friend i will smoke half of the joint then pass it to them to finish, you see lots of people from america taking like 2 tokes and passing it with like 5 people on the joint

[TresLeches]

A while ago I bought a vaporizer. It's awesome, but after awhile it got old. I'll come back to it someday, but I like my pipe. I like joints 'cause it's old school. It's like I'm having an Easy Rider moment. I guess I like it all. It depends on the situation. When you are chillin' with your compadres and maybe you are outside, passin' a big fatty seems appropriate.

[FlyGuyOU]

I've become a water pipe freak myself. I just love the sound of the bubbles. Reminds me of Sublime "smoke 2 joints"

[CheeseOnToast]

Weed over here is generally stronger than a lot of the usa stuff, so less is needed. i guess our tolerance is probably lower than the usa's too. plus it helps it burn better,

agreed. i smoke using every type of method. from 6 foot bongs to foot longs, from pipes, vaporizers, all the way over to joints and blunts. it just depends on what me and the cuddys are feelin like.

I don't see how a blunt could get you any higher than a joint of the same size. Although, the only thing that might hold true in what you say is that the nicotine in the blunt wrap (even though i doubt there's much) could give you a buzz.

[v0Lume]

Its all culturally based, as an anthropology major I would like to study different cultures and why they smoke the way they do. My best guess would be its rooted more or less in the history behind smoking cultures in the areas you live in. In the states having an expensive bong or pipe is something that is sought after because of the strong amount of materialism that comes from out culture.

[mfqr]

It's all based on culture, like v0Lume said. Good post, v0Lume.

[CSballer89]

i could give a shit about the price of the piece im smoking out of. im more concerned about whats inside of it.

[Reefer Rogue]

The despotism of custom runs rampant. We have the power to emancipate ourselves from these cultures and customs, which, when they become customary, other options are obstructed. We are habit forming individuals who make choices based on what we value. We are condemned to freedom and must except all responsability.

[darkside]

ill smoke out of whatever you got as long as there is sensi in it. no tobacco though, that would ruin the taste of the bud. and i can assure you that our weed is just as strong as anything youve got in england.

[MaidenNJ]

I am a blunt man, my favorite thing are blunts and bongs, i like it to rip. My favorite thing is the world is taking that 1st monster it and feeling your eyes begin to close alittle and a nice burn in your throat. I like to be so high i cant move.

[coledog855]

Maybe smoking tobacco with green in a joint makes it burn slower and more even than if you just use green.

[Enemy of Real1ty]

I use to smoke blunts, then I moved onto Gravity Bongs for awhile, Then Bongs, now I roll joints and hit the bong, although Im partial to a real pipe and a hookah when I want to just relax, NY state persona? Bongs, Joints +1

[Dec. 21 2012]

That's a good point OP. Could be regional, who knows. But I tend to get attached to my pieces, sort of sentimental. There's lots of memories in your pipes. Once you finish a joint or blunt, it's gone forever.

[WaZ]

My experience: for the most part what is smoked from depends on the number of people, with joints/blunts being passed around for larger groups and bongs/pipes for smaller groups. If everyone wants their own (smaller groups) then we'll each have a pipe/joint. I personally cycle through all methods available to me within maybe a week (joint, pipe, bong, vaporizer, etc).

[hyperion04]

I personnaly prefer to smoke joints over blunts. Alot of my friends smoke blunts, and I used to smoke blunts while chilling with them. However, because I don't smoke tobacco it's really harsh to me me while hitting a blunt. I like bongs, and hookahs , too. But my tried and true method is joints. The old standby... All you need is papers and weed and in 30 seconds you'll be lighting up.

[LongIsland420]

i think people in the northeast tend to smoke blunts more. mostly dutches here in new york.

[Agressor1]

I see it like this,
what you prefer to smoke out of is based SEEMINGLY on these 2 factors:
what gets you highest
what type of person you are

Bongs get me fucking ripped, and I FEEL that they utilize the most of my experience,
Plus, i'm a person that likes to take advantage of making big off of little.
So, naturally, bongs are my favorite.

But then again, some people have situational highs, and getting really high is based off of:
who you're with
where you're at
how many worries do you have

As for different regions preferring certain ways of smoking, that's coincidence in my opinion. Smoking is dynamic. Go figure.

Interesting observations!:D

[TheSmokingMonkey]

We're big on pipes here (upper midwest). Some of the more hardcore types have bongs. I'll do a magic middle if I've got to make it portable.

But in the northeast, it was blunts, or bongs.

[Rapidfire187]

I love smoking in different ways. I don't have one that's my "favorite". It just depends on the situation.

If I'm in a creative mood, and have lots the freedom to do so, I like to make shit to smoke out of. I made a bubbler Friday night and had some fun with it.

If I'm just bored, I like to roll joints. I've gotten pretty good at rolling them over the past few weeks, and mine seem to get me in the perfect zone. Also, I feel safe smoking a joint because anyone that sees me from a distance wouldn't think anything of it (as opposed to someone seeing me taking rips from a bong lol).

When I'm with somebody else, I like to smoke a blunt. I know the saying is that "a joint is made for 2, and 3's company", but I feel that way about blunts. I prefer smoking a blunt with 1 other person, if there's more heads on a blunt then that, I can't stop thinking about how much higher I'd be if that 3rd person didn't exist lmao.

My bowl is probably what I smoke out of most often though. Thing is, I don't prefer it at all. It's great for smoking in my car, or when I'm in a hurry (such as when I'm at work. Don't wanna be stinking up the parking lot smoking a blunt for 5 minutes).

Gravity bongs are nice too. It just ends up really messy when I use one, and the winter time is NOT gravity bong season for outdoor smokers like myself. I'd say the gravity bong gets me more ripped than anything, off a small amount too.

[JAKERM8]

Through my experience in the US it is more of a divison of culture. People in the suburbs and country smoke out of pieces where most people from the city smoke blunts. idk about overseas.

[Myself]

The prefered method of smoking around here is blunts. But when it comes down to me just chilling it's the vap or bong.

[rnichilo]

I usually roll cheaper weed in blunts and smoke headies in my glass bong or bowl.

[northerngrower]

i prefer the nice chill bong sitting in my bedroom. it is ice chilled, strait and glass. i very seldom break a piece and i do love the nice clean taste (or lack there of) of glass.

[rebgirl420]

Ive smoked out of everything EXCEPT for a vape. I can go for it any way, any time. But I prefer a nice glass spoon pipe or glass chillum. But bongs are fine sometimes and joints are good when your on the go.

[GreenLadyOfDankDowns]

I'm with you there Reb. I really enjoy smoking out of glass, but you can't beat a joint for stealthy portability.
