joints are the best, bongs close second, pipes I dont care for anymore unless thats all thats available. They each have a strength and weakness

joint - smelly (if youre smoking indoors in a place you shouldnt), papers arent good for you, wasteful but it gets you really high and is easy to smoke

glassbong - not compact or portable, burns weed fast!, not as effortless to smoke (not that its hard but a joint will always be the easiest and require the least motion) - gets you fucking high, is clean

glasspipe - weed lasts longer, taste is so-so, lighting a bowl in the wind is a bitch, same amount of effort as a bong but not as clean/cool/potent/fun (right now im going through a phase where I will only use a pipe if its the only reasonable option, something like being outside with nowhere to roll)
