I find it much easier to get a good hit that chokes me up with a bong...plus I don't burn much weed this way..don't ever smoke out of anything else :)

Yeah, you can take much bigger hits with bongs because they cool down the smoke so you can handle more. My friend had this awesome bong, I took 3 hits and was nicely high. I'm pretty experienced smoker too it's not like i would usually get high off that.

I always its nice to smoke a few joints at the beggining of the night to get nicely stoned so you can sit there and chat and have a laugh and play wii (greatest stoner accesory) When it gets late and people feel tired you move on to the bongs which ruin your brain so you can watch a film.

I'd say Bongs> Joints

I like smoking out of my bong and it gets me ripped, but it also sends my tolerance sky-rocketing faster than anything else. Sometimes it's just nice to have a nice slow long sesh using my big pipe.

Couldn't put it better myself. If you wanna get high, go with the spliff. If you wanna get REALLY stoned and glue your ass to wherever your sitting, gotta go with the :rastabong:

I second that, I think that Wii in general is amazing while stoned.
(Fuck, it's pretty amazing while sober as well.)

Just make sure you put your bong away before playing. My friend got too spastic while playing Wario and well, young "Bongholio" unfortunately went to an early grave.

You're from the UK, where 99.5% of people smoke spliffs. How many people do you know with a bong?

Bongs are very effective for getting high. Say a person smokes a spliff with 0.7 in it. Another person smokes 2 bongs; one 0.3 and one 0.4

It would definately NOT lessen the effects. Not at all. Theoretically, i believe because both persons would've smoked 0.7, both would have the same amount of highness.

Definetly not and I just proved it to myself a moment ago.

I made a bong out of a huge drinking game glass (Hero glass, like a freaking pint thing)

If I fill it up ALL the way with smoke and stuff that into my lungs and held it for 5 seconds...it'll take me 2 to 3 of those hits I'll be quite buzzed.

If I have a choice, I always go with the bong. Using a bong is a totally different level for me. Love the feeling :bonghit: :bonghit: :bonghit:

Nothing better than using fine bud to roll a big fat joint, making a bong, toking up then lighting the J up and smoking that. Best of borth worlds, instant hit from the bong before the joint kicks in and blazes me then have bongs till i fancy another joint. :jointsmile:

Bongs get you higher since theres less carcinogens and more thc smoke, plus it condenses more when its in the chamber so you get more in a hit.

Bongs are way more efficent then spliffs, spliffs burn away in your hand between puffs, where as in a bong, the chamber collects all the smoke in between tokes, and is more effective :D

Bongs burn weed pretty fast but get you fucked after a few hits but spliffs conserve your weed but in my opinion dont get you as high well for me this is how it is

BONGS are the shit when it comes to gettin ripped, other than a vape but decent vapes cost a pretty penny, i just picked up a new HVY bong about two weeks ago its the third of the that brand i have bought and cant complain one bit... i like Jerome Baker work too...

MAPS - Volume 6 Number 3 Summer 1996 - (http://www.maps.org/news-letters/v06n3/06359mj1.html)

"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."

I think the thing about bongs is it enables you to take bigger (and perhaps more) hits before throat irritation sets in, but this MAPS study would seem to indicate that of all the smoking methods out there, bongs are the least efficient, THC-wise.

So, you can, in theory, get higher because you can smoke a fair amount more, but you're wasting more THC in bongs (which is, contrary to the common wisdom, apparently at least partially soluble in water). As to whether or not you save some on having less sidestream smoke, I do not know, but the answer is not cut and dry.

Bongs definitely give me a stupider high. I mean, with a bong, I just feel IQ points drain away. Which, somewhat alarmingly, I quite enjoy from time to time.

u get stoned the same ammount, bongs just spped up the speed and intensity of the initial hit. And in my opinion make the smoke alot more pleasant.

1 bong rip gets me level headed, 2 bong rips get me stoned, 3 bong rips I'm out of this world and I'm ready for 10 more :stoned: . This is out of my friends $130 bong, it's about 20 inches tall and has a diffuser, ice catcher, and a super flow.

OK, well I tried it myself. I took about 10-15 hits from it, and was absolutely blazed out of my face. >_>

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard for no reason. Even the sound of movement made me cry with laughter.

It's 50x better than a spliff. I hate tobacco. It tastes like absolute crap. Plus, I suck at rolling.

Well with a bong you are manually burning the weed yourself, so it all depends on the person when it comes to how fast it burns. Most people for whatever reason think the idea is to torch the entire bowl, so this is why I tend to hate bongs for group smoking. For group smoking, joints and blunts are much better since it eliminates not only this, but also the problem where most of the THC is consumed by the first person. But if you are by yourself, or with others that actually know what they are doing (light sections/corner) bongs are the best.

I would say...

yeah thats exactly how it is with my friends first person torches the freshly packed bowl and after that its all black from there thats what you get for having a bong between 4 heads

Bongs a great but I hafta say that they are the most overrated thing in the weed smoking community.
