what gets you highest?

[leapold]

i hear people saying omg it fucks you up so watch out! when they are talking about say a bong.. how can it fuck you up more than a joint or a bowl? as long as your smoking the same amount of herb...
do certain pieces give you more thc intake? i heard a bong gives the most thc, then a bowl, then a joint.
whats the best way to get the highest out of your weed? any info will be great.

with bongs u can get more smoke in ur lungs in a quick amount of time?
iono...they both get me high the same. i use much less weed with bongs, so i go with bongs.

exactly, you get more smoke in your lungs b/c its not as harsh, but your still burning the same amount of weed. now if someone said you get more thc when you smoke out of a bong then i would say ok. b/c people are like my piece is bad ass it fucks you up.. how can it fuck you up? you smoke a gram from "your piece" or you smoke a gram out of a bowl.. either way your smoking a gram so i dont see how it "fucks you up" i mean if you get more thc out of a bong then ok, ill believe you

i dont think u can get more thc out of a bong.
some of it actually gets trapped in the filtration process going through water.
the only difference i believe is like u said its easier to toke, and u can get bigger hits i guess.

the highest ive been was with a homemade water bong

[thedazn]

depends on what you consider being "really high"... do you mean "im so high only after a few hits" or "holy shit i've smoked so much im so high"... i'd say everything is the same as long as you push yourself...

None of them give any extra THC... that doesn't make sense. The fact with bongs is that you take in more smoke per hit. This means that more THC is flooding into your system at a given time. Smaller hits builds it up slower. If you took the equivalent amount of hits in a pipe as you would in one hit in a bong, you'd be just as high. Bongs just get you high faster. Also, the water does filter out some other shit, so the high isn't as "dirty" usually.

Xhoshi, THC is not water soluble, so I want to know why water would filter out the THC...

Personally though, joints/blunts always take me higher than pipes. It might be a placebo, who knows . It is proven that joints/blunts waste a lot more smoke than smoking bowls do. But there was one time I took hits from a gravity bong, and that was the clearest and highest I've EVER been. It was such a clean high, but I was fucked up like mad. I only needed to take 3 huge ass hits, which would probably be the equivalent of smoking a good sized bowl. Also, "gravity" bongs PUSH the smoke deeper into your lungs (when you press down on the bottle and inhale, the pressure makes it go deeper), where it's absorbed more efficiently, I believe.

Hope I made sense--I'm baked. :jointsmile:

I can inhale deeper and for longer amounts of time with a bong. I use hot water in a bong. I don't know why, I love hot water bongin'...its kinda theraputic. I use bongs mostly because it's less harsh on my lungs...

Water insoluble doesn't mean complete insolubility, only really low solubility.

From Wikipedia:

Most smokers believe that bongs are healthier than other smoking methods; however, a 2000 NORML-MAPS study found that "water pipes filter out more psychoactive THC than they do other tars, thereby requiring users to smoke more to reach their desired effect" [5]. Smoke from cannabis supplied by the NIDA was drawn through a number of smoking devices and analyzed. A smoking machine, adjusted to mimic the puff length of cannabis smokers, drew smoke through a standard bong, a small portable bong with a folding stem, a bong with a motorized paddle that thoroughly mix the smoke with the water, and two different types of vaporizers. The study found that the unfiltered joint outperformed all devices except the vaporizers, with a ratio of about 1 part cannabinoids to 13 parts tar.

also, if the THC cools and is no longer in gas form, it can stick to the water particles, and be lost in the bong water.
