Lighting up buds with matches?

[Candnloveweed420]

I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of the benefits of smoking with matches instead of lighters. I have heard from a few people that it is better for you because of the lack of butane. I even heard that it tastes better and gets you higher. Anybody have any thoughts?

I often use matches, both by choice and b/c i cant find a lighter. If you make sure the head burns first, I find you can get a better taste. Idk about any health benefits though. I do know that one of the worst things about using a lighter is the little pieces of flit that flake off. 'parently its highly cancerous, so if you use a lighter, light first then put over the bowl.

ever used a magnifying glass??? thats the cleanest way to burn the herb

I have heard about the magnifying glass way, but never have tried. Sounds like I have to get on that. Thanks for the reply man, I really had no clue about the flint either.

Indeed... but it only works in sunny days...

LOL....yeah can you imagine sitting there trying to get the focal point juuuust right for each hit? haha that would take forever, and I know I feel blinded after using my 30x after a while.

I did however render a still valid credit card useless this way, for some reason I got 2 cards well one I designated for scraping. Since it was still valid and I trust nobody to take it, I put a wicked burnt trail on the black strip, it was cool to see the smoke :stoned:

it really doesnt take that long to do if you're in the sun

Well no it doesn't, but when the bowl is a couple inches from your face like in a pipe it wouldn't work too well. Maybe with a bong...

A bong is surely the best for sun rips with a magnefying glass.
I ALMOST ALWAYS use a magnefying glass to smoke.(only grade AAA buds,no swagg or mids)all connoisseurs know that sun rips are the cleanest,tastiest way to enjoy buds.I love smoking the Jack Herer I have right now with a megnefying glass,the smoke tastes really skunky yet lemony.

Sunlight smoking sounds amazing, on many levels. Never tried it.

Matches would, in theory, be slightly cleaner than butane lighters - I can't give a personal story to back that up but the logic seems to hold.

Are there any adverse effects from the sulfer? If not, or if it's not as unhealthy as butane, then matches would be better.

I'll have to get a magnifying glass sometime during the summer, although it's finally starting to warm up here.
