What do you smoke out of and what type of bud? I usually find that it is the bud that causes burning for me. Bud that isn't cured or dried properly. Or bud that pops and sizzles because the grower didn't flush it properly.

try taking the smoke into your mouth first and holding it there for a second or so, then inhaling it. also, if you are smoking hash, you are bound to get a sore throat any way.

sore throat is a small price to pay for the great high u get ;)

No it isn't! If your getting a sore throat, something is wrong. Do you suck through the herb a lot (be honest!)? Do you smoke out of a steam roller, or J's? Either of those could lead to chronic throat soreness.

Anything that causes your body to feel unhealthy cannot be good, so figure this out.

The 'easiest' way to smoke is definately either a water bong with ice water or a vap.

man there proly over reacting with the pain i nthere throat i doubt it could proper proper hurt unless there bumming that spliff

Yeah, like I said, something isn't right if your throat is really gettinb burned... Are you confusing smoking rock with herb? hahaha

use a bong with cold water, you can put the bong in the fridge(sp?) for a while to, works really good.

Or you can fill the entire bong up to the top with icecubes. Chills the smoke extremely well. :)

Usually what I do after I take a huge rip off of my pipe is I just take a huge hit, and then take a small sip of ice-water directly afterwords, while the smoke is in my lungs still. Then I hold it in for a while, continually sipping water if need-be, then I exhale and sip another sip of water. This helps a lot.

Also, something that is fun to do after you got done smoking and you have that "smoker's voice", I usually eat some ice cream. Not only does it feel cool as hell and taste great, but it helps soothe my throat too.

heh i love it when my lung and throat feel like they on fire, cuz then i know im stoned. Hot knifez really get my shit burnin,

I always like to have a glass of water around me when I smoke. My throat wasn't ever really giving me problems, but one time I had some water while smoking, and I found it alot more enjoyable. Nice cold water. Unless of course you live in the artic tundra of Canada and are smoking outside.

yo i think i know why, is it ur first few times smoking? cause back when it was like my first 5 times I got bad sore throat. After a while u get used to the harshness of the smoke though and u won't worry about it cause the sore throat iwll not exist anymore. I sort of use my tongue as a guarder of my throat and let the smoke hit the tongue first. Helps prevent any flames from scorching ur throat,a nd seems to be more enjoyable. Plus I must be doing the inhale thing perfectly cause i am always the first to detect it and feel it the strongest.

make your self a real hemp pipe ,,you will find a 100 pct dif,,shit wrong pipe on left,,

Your "sore throat" might be cotton mouth, hmm? I usually get really dry cotton mouth after I smoke, but it's nothing some water or soothing tea can't cure.

Or if it's actually a SORE throat that you always get, try getting your hands on more potent bud... that way you don't need to smoke as much to get high (therefore causing less harshness to your throat and lungs).

"try to get your hands on more potent bud"...

Heh. I've spent YEARS trying to do that, bro.. ;)

thanks for all the info. Everyone seems to be really cool on this site props to you all.

Sup dude, well I had the same problem and managed to come up with an ingenious marijuana-inspired idea, so Iâ??ll share it with you.

You need any regular 16-20oz bottle. Take a metal thing or whatever and heat the end with a lighter till itâ??s really fucking hot. Then take the metal thing and use it to melt a hole in the very bottom center of the bottle. Make the hole about whatever size the mouthpiece of your pipe is. Your gunna need some kind of rubber to make the seal but basically you stick the end of your pipe in the hole and then suck through the top of the bottle. It creates a huge air chamber that the smoke passes through first and cools down.

You can go one step further and cut a hole in the side of the bottle to use as a carb and that makes it really awesome. Light that bowl up hella then when you see the smoke in the bottle is really thick, release the carb and suck all that shit in quickly. Basically it works out to that you take really fat hits and it doesnâ??t burn at all. Also, you donâ??t waste as much weed cuz if you canâ??t take it all in you can quickly cover the end of the bottle and then wait then suck the rest of the smoke out of the bottle.

Everyone Iâ??ve told about that said itâ??s stupid but I dunno gets me fucking ripped and I donâ??t feel like I fucked up my lungs with hot ass smoke either.

Sounds like a reasonable idea

eewwww... that'll make the smoke stale... id rather breathe jet exhaust!

i've done stuff like that before....except mine get more ellaborate...you take a tube (aquarium hosing) that you have no problems sucking through....and cut it about 2 feet long put one end around the end of your mouth peice and tape it in (electrical tape works the best and all the residue can be wiped off should you decide to use th epipe again).....then take a 20oz and in the middle of it somewhere you put a hole the size of the tubing....feed the tube in as far as it will go (the pipe needs to be able to sit on the table and you need to be able to tilt the 20 and still have some slack while keeping the end of the tube at the bottom of the bottle....seal around the tube in the 20 put a carb somewhere near the top of the bottle in the 20 then fill the 20 about an 1 inch below where the tube comes in with a mixture of crushed ice and water....fill the bowl then you know what to do

A good plan, but you're losing a lot of THC. I read is some NIDA report about THC transferral that only 5-20% of the gross THC in the marijuana bud gets to you in an average bong hit. You add more tubing, and more chambers to that, and you're getting even less than that, man.

I'm not saying don't do it. I'm just saying that's a con (devil's advocate, so to speak). I use ice in my bongs, and they're all hookah-style. Nothing's better than a vape hit drawn through ice water. It feels like opening the freezer and taking a deep breath.

this is supposedly a very ancient african method for avoiding throat burn..

basicly just drink some water or whatever and hold some of it in your mouth when you take a hit. its easy and effective

or you could just try some of the weed recipes and avoid throat burn all together though eating isnt as much fun as smoking =\

usually when i get really really bad throat burn i just take a nother fat ass rip and it numbs my lungs and throat

yes, i also suggest using a bong and put some ice cubes in there. the water and ice makes the hit a lot smoother and is easy on your throat. damn, ill hit a bong over anything else any day

is it just me or do bongs seems to burn through reefer liek crazy =\ i try and make m shit last as long as i can
