Wetting the herb
Some time ago a stoner wrote in to High Times that he gets more smoke (up to three times as much) from his bud when he wets the herb. I've tried smoking dry and wet buds in my bongs and have found no difference one way or the other. I may be doing it wrong, but I really doubt that wetting the herb makes any difference.
What I have found out since I first wrote this phile is that wetting the bud dampens the smoke. I keep an eyedropper taped to the side of my water bottle, so I can drop water onto the bud and then suck it through. It takes longer to get the bud lit, but the bud feels mellower on one's lungs. Try it.
