i think everybody should really have a pipe, rolling papers, a bong, and eventuall a vape at some point get you covered for different situations; pipe for quick hits, papers for lovely spliffs; bong for cool hits; and vape because they're just great and you don't want too much tar in dem lungs

of course a bong will filter some of your THC out, but that's the price you pay i seem to hold bong smoke for longer cuz it's less harsh so it seems to even out for me, and i much prefer the cool hit to a pipe
