you guys are missing the point. bongs get you high as shit, so you dont lose thc content. bongs do waste weed when you dont have much and are smoking in a group because an otherwise fat bowl out of a pipe that will go around 10-15 times will only go around maybe 6 out of a bong. i like bongs for only me or 2 ppl, or if i have alot of bud. but when im in a group or low on weed, its pipes. they make it stretch. bottom line is 8 hits from a pipe> 2 hits frm a bong. i think thats what the guys meant.
