I get stoned off my ass from blunts. the hits are more controlled with blunts and also they're slower burning than joints. Passing around a pipe is a waste of weed because it burns up faster, but a pipe is preferrable when you're alone and you only want to face a little bit of weed. I dont have anything against pipes, i own a few of them, but in my opinion pipes are only meant to be used at certain times.
