How Do You Smoke And How Much?

[Rain Man]

Alright maybe that isn't the best thread title. But I have been wondering... How much do you smoke when you're low on herb? I remember the first time I bought weed... a gram of 'dank' for $10 from a friend of mine. I read about people who smoke that much every day... Do you know how long those 3 tiny little nugs lasted me? A month of smoking every other day, around 20 something Highs. And damn good highs too, where I could barely walk.

I smoked the stuff out of pipes I made out of a carrots, apples, and anything else organic. I made them the size of a one hit, but I made the bowl big enough for many hits. It was the perfect design, you could eat it in an emergency, it was small and easily hidden, and it was a dream to smoke out of... Hell, I could go on forever on how homemade organic pipes are so much better than solid, commercially bought ones... But I digress... I would take the nugs, break off a good sized piece for the pipe, put it in the bowl, and take shallow breaths until everything burned away, sometimes I would hold my hits for 30 seconds, other times I'd hold them for 5 seconds, I have come to realize that holding in the smoke really does get you higher. It took about 20-5 small to large hits with the flame on the bowl to cache it. I wasn't satisfied until all the ash and bud was gone, and the pipe was empty, with only the resin decorating the walls. I would then keep adding pieces of bud until I was satisfied with my high (It usually took 1 small dense piece to do it back then). I was so efficient with my smoking, I would smoke inside and exhale the hits out of a window and no smoke ever left the end of the bowl and made the room smell... To this day, alone, I smoke the exact same way, it's been a hell of a long time, but I think I really nailed it as a kid.

I always thought with marijuana, a little goes a long way. But then I came across the internet and smoked with friends, I found people really like to waste weed, I would see big 1 gram joints smoked by 1 person, 5 gram blunts, nug after nug going into a bong with 1 big hit being taken and then discarded... People spending a third of they're paychecks on weed, and then complaining about being dry after rolling blunts with it all... I bought 1/4th an ounce of mids last year for $30, and smoked from it almost everyday, i'm just finishing it up now...

The point of this thread is not to show how cheap and tight I am with my weed, or to tell you the right way to do it(the right way is the way you like best), but to get an idea on how much you folks usually smoke, how, and why. and what are some of the methods you use when trying conserve your stash? Trying to figure out how much the average person smokes...

[sToNeDpEnGuIn420]

Didnt read your post, i smoke usually close to an eigth or so a day maybe a lil less, and i only smoke out of a vaporizer, unless im drunk then i roll up a J.

[free bird]

about 1/8 per day on weekends

and a gram or less per day on weekdays

[theonlylivingboyinCA]

too fucking much :(

[mojoke]

thats all a bunch of bullshit. You want to know why commercially made pipes are better than shitty organic ones? there better because you can get a cheap metal pipe with a screen for 5 dollars if you know where too look (cheaper than buying a fucking apple everyday), smaller and more mobile than an apple or whatever, just as easy to get rid of if you're not retarded, and noone will think you are retarded because you smoke out of an apple.

also, whats wrong with smoking lots of weed? If you can smoke a half or a quarter everyday, thats tight, more power too you and keep hustlin.
i myself smoke between 1/8th and 1/4 a day.

[free bird]

how do you make a carrot pipe?

[invoke]

I'd imagine you just put a hole through it and use it like a one-hitter.

[9bob]

Hehe! Too fucking right... But then again, I've never done it myself. I prefer to smoke joints. Totally mobile, and I like the slow-burning aspect of them. And passing, etc. works easily with joints.

Buuuuut, then again, I agree with free bird:


how do you make a carrot pipe?

[Tillianne]

Usually about a gram a day, vaporizing.

I can't believe you can buy these "kits"...

Anyways, I'm with you Rain Man. In terms of how much I smoke (although I think you smoke less daily). I don't have a lot of coin to play with so I like to conserve but still get high everyday and smoke with my friends. So when I smoke by myself I use a commercial pipe or a commercial mini bong, take 1-2 hits usually. Take some bong hits or smoke a joint with some friends. I'd say I smoke 0.5-1 gram everyday that I have it and if I don't have green buds I'll still manage to stay token. Sometimes I take resin hits for a week between sacks (Yes, I'm a savage:D). BUT if I had some plants or I was dealing or if I just had more money I'd smoke more. Hit a 2g blunt every once in awhile, load bowl after bowl. No limits!

Everybody smokes according to how much they can afford/how much they want to smoke.

[MidnightToker54]

I also smoke more than I really need, but I'm getting better at conserving herb. All I need now is my 9-inch tall glass bong with a small bowl and a few grams a day. :thumbsup:

[burnable]

Smoking moderately, I'll go through an eighth in 4 or 5 days. usually the smaller amount I buy the easier it is to conserve. If I buy a half ounce i could smoke it in 2 weeks cuz I'd never think to conserve until it was too late and my tolerance was way high. This is why I'm excited for my first crop soon; no more difficult $$ and acquisition issues.
When I need to conserve, I'll do something similar to what rain man originally said about retaining hits in your lungs for as long as possible. Instead, I'll blow my hit into a balloon and pinch it airtight so I can breath and cough if I need to, then I just re-inhale the smoke that is in the balloon. That gets a lot of mileage out of the bud. I did the stats when I first started doing it and I was burning at the most half the bud I normally needed to, sometimes a quarter of the bud.

[invoke]

But wouldn't most of the THC already be absorbed in your lungs? That sounds like it'd come in handy in those dry weeks.

[Nochowderforyou]

I have only smoked out of an apple once. It tasted horrible, even the apple was bad after. Hmm...nice pot resin taste mixed in with apple taste and lighter fluid. Yuck!

I smoke about .5-1gram a day. I'm not a heavy smoker, at all. I don't like smoking heavily as it chews up my cash and makes me very tired after time.

I use a pipe. Usually a glass one, but sometimes I use a wooden one. I hold my hits in for a good 10-20seconds, and yeah...4 rips and I'm usually buzzing pretty good.

[BlazinTreesX3]

ooo my turn..

i remeber when iw as smaller about 11 when i first started me and my friend knew a guy that grew (although i didnt know or care at the time...cant believe i was so young but i did the math) and he would drop by and leave a big wet bud with us and wed blaze and blaze and sneak out and blaze and party and all for like 4 or so yrs and now i can say i blaze about 1 g a day i think thats the average for the non grower / tolerance hgih/ incredibly insane person. 1 g and thats all day and sometimes more but at most 2 of good weed course if i got some mex somehow ill roll a 5 g blunt i dont care its mex but otherwise right out my glasspipe or a g bong lol back in the 11 yr old time guess what i used no no apple or nethin good for me to eat afterwards but instead we started with a empty clean cologne bottle plastic with no cap and a lil water in it then a hole in the bottom side and then a crayola marker hollowed into it and on the end none other than a metal BOLT with a sink screen in it did that all my life til like lol lemme say the truth 8 days ago...btw im still a young one. i wont tell age cuz then u can disregard nething i say so better if u never kno. :stoned:

[Rain Man]

God damn, an eight a day? Assuming you smoke everyday... That's plenty to smoke, I didn't think there was as many heavy smokers on this forum. Anyway, I still say a homemade organic temporary pipe is better than what you buy from the headshop by far. I am referring mostly to the carrot, or baby carrot. Why? Plenty of reasons.

it's less toxic than a metal, wood, or plastic pipe, those fumes aren't good for the body, and as many of you know there is many speculation that the aluminum fumes in many metal pipes leads to alzheimer's desease. And a $5 metal pipe is probably made out of alluminum.

You can fashion it into any shape you want, a one hit, chillum or standard pipe, all you need is a long narrow object(screw driver).

It's temporary and small, you can eat after you're done or whenever you have to(and I usually do). Nobody will ever find it lying around if you have that problem. It's good if you are a traveller like I used to be, forgot, broke, left your pipe? It can be made in 2 minutes, and a carrot wont break if you drop it.

The pipes I usually make is smaller than the lighter, I have yet to find one as good and versatile available for sale. I own a 2 bongs, a glass pipe, and around 3 one hitters, I still smoke out of a carrot on most occasions. Criticize me all you want, it's my opinion that a carrot is better than a hundred dollar glass bong. :)

Anyway, I don't smoke everyday anymore, but when I did, it was around .2 gram twice a day, maybe less maybe more, I don't have a scale. About 3 or 4 small shallow bowls of packed shake... equal to maybe a a loose, flat nug the size of a dime, Could anybody tell me how much that is?

[Rain Man]

how do you make a carrot pipe?


Many people ask me this. You get a pyramid shaped baby carrot, carve a bowl on the side of one end, and drill a hole through the whole thing on the other end. It ain't pretty, but it works.

[maphiagrrl]

that is crazy! yr still smokin from that quarter you bought that long ago! that is unbelievable!
I wish I could be that tight with my weed, but fuck it...I like smokin' big blunts with my friends and I like to smoke them a lot
but now I am broke as a joke so look where that's got me...but I have to say I'm happier for it

[BuenoMota]

they were able to smoke so much because after smoking constantly their tolerance went up and they needed more pot to get them high.

[mojoke]

and also because i am a pimp.

hahaha

[rhino44]

honestly i like to smoke blunts the most. If I have the weed I will roll a blunt even with highgrade. I just enjoy smoking them, they last longer and get me really high. I got tired of packing bowl after bowl. I really like bubblers but after I broke mine wich cost me 150 bucks I said funk dat. I still got a little glass bowl for when I only got a little weed but mostly it's blunts and if it's just me I smoke between an 1/8 and a 1/4 a day depending on the quality and how much I got. Some days I don't smoke any even if i got it. I try not to fiend for it or let it control me or keep me from doing things I normally would.

[WeedLovingVeteran]

I waste alot of my weed......by waste I mean I just tend to smoke everything that I have in a night, I do try to save a spliff or two's worth but most of the time Im left with a tiny nug.

I smoke everyday between 1.7 - 3.5 grams and it really fucks your cash up. Its an absolute piss take when you have no money and you have just spent your last £60 quid on a half OZ.

But who the fuck cares I start work on monday, yes real work. 9 to 5 what a bastard.

[WeedLovingVeteran]

What the fuck happens if you havnt got a fucking carrot or apple or anything of that kind your pretty screwed then heh?

I stand by Jays they have always served me well.....I can chill and relax and I dont have to worry about shit because I have a spliff in one hand a burger in the other with a cold beer resting on the chair.

[Binzhoubum]

I smoke everyday. Hashish. Good quality. Charas or Nepalese.

If I smoke joints, I usually smoke about three to four 1 gram joints in one day.

If I smoke pipes I usually use less. But I usually do a mixture. Joint then pipe. Pipe then joint.

:smokin:

[Binzhoubum]

I don't spend a lot of money either...but it took awhile to get wholesale price.

Plus, I only buy in bulk. Although I don't sell, my dealer is convinced I do because I buy so much every month...HAHAHA! It goes between two or three people. 250 grams. :stoned:

But if I go out clubbing then smoking is nonstop all night...probably a waste but I am too stoned and faded to tell the difference at that point...just seems like routine. :thumbsup:

[jamstigator]

I like metal pipes, but didn't like the idea of aluminum, so I got a RayDiaTor, which has a titanium bowl, tube and screen. (Titanium oxidizes at higher temperatures than steel, and MUCH higher temps than aluminum.) I got the RayDiaTor Triple, which was not particularly cheap ($60-$70-ish I think), but it's a one-time investment, and I've already gotten my money's worth out of it.

I smoke maybe 1.5 grams a day, but that's shared between me and the woman, so I guess *I* smoke about half of that amount daily. In other words, not a whole lot. I could smoke more, much more, but I choose not to, as I enjoy being sober too. And I've found that by not smoking a lot daily, my tolerance remains pretty low, so when I do fire up, I get really baked, and I like that a lot. ;)

[mojoke]

i hate people who hate on metal pipes :(

there is nothing wrong with smoking out of a steel pipe!
what is steel made out of? carbon and iron
what does carbon and iron do to you? carbon, like the carbon in your burnt weed, hurts lung tissue :(. Iron enters the bloodstream through the lungs causing no damage. duh.

i got mine for 15 dollars two years ago. if you are going to get one i recommend not buying the cheap 5 dollar 2 piece ones. get something that has a couple pieces so that you can take it apart and resonate that shit :D

[Binzhoubum]

I have a wood pipe from thailand. The bowl piece holds at least two to three grams.

I would take a picture but the damn camera is being borrowed!

I like wood and glass pipes personally. Metal pipes always have that metallic taste, at least IMO.

[jamstigator]

Here's a pic of my RayDiaTor Triple, my favorite toking device.

[burnable]

But wouldn't most of the THC already be absorbed in your lungs? That sounds like it'd come in handy in those dry weeks.


absorbing the thc instantaneously is a myth. I don't need to cite anything scientific, just recycle your hits in a balloon and see for yourself

[JR77]

I get the most baked from my bong...

[Rain Man]

absorbing the thc instantaneously is a myth. I don't need to cite anything scientific, just recycle your hits in a balloon and see for yourself

I agree, I notice when I hold in my hits, exhale into a paper bag, or smoke in an enclosed space, I could high on very, very little weed. Also, if the myth is true why is it that other folks get high when you shotgun your hits?

Where is LIP when you need him?

[4gan2ja0]

on a regular basis i smoke around 4 doobs a day,if theres a poarty or something usually more with the mix of maybe a 40oz or some other drug, me and my buddies finished a qp (quarter pound (600$)) in a week so a lot of weed man

[hahaitsdoogle]

vaporize about an ounce of primos a week.

[NightProwler]

Well you said that carrots are healthier than aluminum, wood, or plastic. the metal pipes you buy in stores have steel bowls, and i dont know who the hell would ever smoke with a plastic bowl! when i smoke bowls, its with my glass and thats healthier than inhaleing any burnt vegitable. I've also made this addition to my bowl, its pretty neat. its pretty much just a homemade bong, but where the bowl goes, theres just a tube. that tube fits perfectly into the mouthpeice of my glass bowl. so you get the healthyness of the glass, but you aslo get the filtered, cooled down smoke.

Apart from that, my favortie thing to smoke with is joints. its fun rolling them too. after a you've been rolling for a while, it really becomes a hobby. and its even funner to burn them. its almost like a ration.. you break up the ammount you want to smoke, you roll it, you smoke it, and then your set. that leaves no evidence either.
I'm with you on the conservation, rainman. I mean, I'm not as good at conserving as you are, but I've been smoking off of the same eighth for the past month or more. and when i first started smoking, it took me about 2 and a half months to finish my first eighth. I definitly have been conserving more now than i have in the past. it used to be an eighth every 4 or 5 days, but i've really cut back. I still smoke every day alomst, but its just a small bowl pack or a skinny joint.

[Tha Joint Killah]

smoke weed every damn day

[alexisonfire xo]

Here's a pic of my RayDiaTor Triple, my favorite toking device.
That's pretty fucking cool looking.

[Love Street]

what i do is get about a gram out of my stash...grind it in my electric coffee grinder until its basically a powder(more efficient to grind, more surface area for combustion)

then i get my little glass bong and my ONE hit bowl, i pack the tiny bowl with the grinded weed and take that all in one rip, hold it in for about 4 seconds and then exhale, and only after using .1 of a gram im baked

theres no need for toking fat seshions, i can make a gram last all day long, but keep in mind this is realy good weed, all you schwagg and mids smokers are out of luck and are going to have to smoke multiple bowls of that kife for a little buzz

[ChronicMike]

I smoke about a Half ounce in a week and i use pipes blunts and joints.

Fuck conserving weed.

smoke it if you got it.

[rbg]

i'll usually go through about an 8th a week. usually one bowl in my bong will last me all day since 1 or 2 big hits gets me blazed. almost always a bong or j's with my friends and me. i try to be pretty conservative with my stuff but every once in a while it's fun to roll a few fat blunts and get ridiculous. it's also nice knowing i'll get stoned even if i'm low on cash and dry for a while since me and my friends are always smoking each other up
