Does any one know where to find it?
I've tried google but I did it half-assed so I probably wasn't looking hard enough.
Me and my biffer were curious. We tried to get my mom to smoke but she was having a REALLY hard time using the bong..which got me thinking, how popular were bongs in the 60's (or is my mom a freak lol)? But then Reb posted the 70's bong thread and now I'm uber curious.
if anyone knows, lemme know..if not..let this bounce to the bottom lol.
i beleive the indians first invented and used bongs as a way to smoke and inhale the strength and soul of their dead enemies.
^completely just fucking with u:jointsmile:
I just found something that says an African tribe, the Bong'om tribe..invented the bong specifically to smoke cannabis. But I'm more talking about popularity, I guess.
This is still cool to read though, here's a link for anyone interested.
On Marijuana | The real history of the bong
Dammit why did I have to read that post while I had a mouth full of water! Thats a classic line though...I gotta tell that to a few friends next blazing session I have.Quote:

an excerpt from "The Marijuana-logues" about the creation of the bong:
"The bong was invented accidently, by mistake. Alexander 'Gram' Bell invented the bong by accident while trying to invent the telephone on purpose. He meant to speak into it, but he accidently filled it with water, packed a nugget, and lit it."
good enough of an explanation for me...
I believe it. Hahaha.
Damn that article was interesting. Now I know the history of the bong :). It's funny to know they used to smoke it waaaay back then. It must have sucked not having lighters xD.
What a Caveman cant get no respect? Inventing the Wheel, And yes they had fire as well. They had to be smoking, And very creative. No wonder they get pissed at that Insurance Company.(-----) just a thought.:thumbsup:
I dunno, my dad said that they used them alot when he was a teen and when he was in his 20-30's..then he just moved on to bowls and joints. I think it may just be a young person thing.Quote:
