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.

BabyFacedAbortion Reviewed by BabyFacedAbortion on . History of the Bong 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. Rating: 5
