Microwaving your pipe and weed
grrr ok i'm drunk, then my computer wouldn't let me correct it... lol... "heating anything heats it up" lmao that makes me sound stupid.. i meant to say, heating anything (basicly, i'm sure there are a couple of things out there that DON'T get more pliable when heated) makes it more PLIABLE, or moldable... other then wooden pipes, you can use this to you advantage, but wood, and water don't mix, i spent years in woodshop and i can tell you now soaking any wood in water, even if it's treated, isn't healthy for the wood. that's why i compliled my method for getting resin out (how to clean resin : a guide, in it, basicly you use heat to to put all the resin in the water, which weed [and resin] isn't water soulable which you eventually end up straining out....)

When I clean my glass, I take the utmost delicate care so as not to break it. To do it, I take it, throw it in a ziploc bag with some rubbing alcohol and a little salt for flavor. I then close the bag and nuke it in the microwave for 15 seconds. I then pull it out, and while its HOT I shake it around. Any left over globs of resin left in the pipe I soon scoop out with a toothpick and run it once more through the microwave for one more bag shake. A quick rinse and presto, brand new.
As far as the resin, I don't smoke that shit. It tastes like ass and is harsh on the lungs.
If you ever bombard your herb with waves of radiation, well, you would be better off giving it away, or better yet, roll it up and go for a walk in some woods. Its winter and the cold will get ya higher.

When I clean my bong I just put a scoop of oxy clean in their and fill with hot water, let it sit for 15 mins and it all bubbles out the top, but rubbing alcohol and Rock salt work just good, i'm just to lazy to be shaking around my bong lol
Anyways, I microwaved bud before, but only wet bud lol...impatience
I would just recommend smoking your weed like a normal person lol, I dont know, I'm pretty wary of the microwave...

The only thing smoking related that I use the microwave for is cleaning my sliders in a plastic cup of water... softens the resin and then I just hit it with some rubbing alcohol on a qtip to clean it up.
