Smoking from scratch

[drivebyphilosopher]

Alright. I would like a quick way to smoke pot from scratch.. I'm a newbie for the most part, and I've only smoked in groups with pre-rolled joints and the like. I'm getting 3 grams tommorow, and I would like to know how I can smoke this without any joint-making skills from household items. I've looked at so many different methods. Aluminum foil pipes, but then I hear that they are very hazardous... rolling my own joints.. but I fail miserably every time... and other various ways. Any suggestions?

Um 2 liter bottle bongs.....Lungs....Pop pipe can....umm apples? lol pretty much anything.

well.. I figured out how to cheat at rolling joints.. Envelopes make great substitute for rolling paper... and pencils to wrap them around.. yeah, I got it.

Seriously you do not want to be smoking an envelope! Go and buy some papers, they're only 50p. As for rolling, just buy some rolling tobbacco and follow a good joint rolling tutorial and just keep practising until you are confident and then stubsitute the tobbacco for some green.

simplest method-

get a pipe,
pack a cone with green,
ignite,
inhale,
exhale, repeat as neccessary.


a pipe can be made by getting a can of coke (empty), and make some small holes in the side, put the green on top of those holes and suck from the drinking hole.

I think an apple is the best method for a newbie. Plus you can eat it afterwards!

for random uses, i'd say just go ahead and use aluminum foil. i've used it hundreds of times, and im just fine(*dies*). well maybe not hundreds, but atleast over 100 though, so i dont think once will hurt you all that bad. if your over the age of 18, find a head shop and buy a bowl.

Yeah, I'd say if you are over 18, you can go to a nice discount tobacco store and buy one of their "glass tobacco pipes" or "glass tobacco water pipes" (bowls and bubblers, respectively) and just take that route. They should be pretty cheap and will last you for a long time, plus nothing feels quite so good as hitting a glass pipe and tasting just the weed, nothing else.

You can also make a bong out of a water bottle using a pen canister (empty) and aluminum foil. Basically, drink a Dr. Pepper or a Coke, and save the bottle. Take off the wrapper. Using a cigarette , just burn a hole towards the bottom. Burn a hole a bit higher than that on the other side for your "carb". Take a cheap pen and take out all the innards of it (the ink cartridge, etc.) until you have a hollow cylinder. The cylinder should fit nicely into the lower of the two holes that you made. Make a bowl out of aluminum foil on the end of the cylinder. Put enough water in the bottle so that it covers the whole pen cap, put your weed in the bowl (breaking it up) cover up the carb, apply lighter to weed, inhale. Smoke should start bubbling out of the water and filling up the chamber. Usually when this happens, I take my mouth off the bottle and cover up the mouth of the bottle to catch my breath. After I've done that, I put my mouth on the mouth of the bottle, remove my finger from the carb, and inhale, thus "clearing the chamber". Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll do my best to explain it.

Have fun, and good luck!

How big should the bowl be?

[Hempamasta]

However big you want. For ease and stability, I usually make one that's about as big around as the tip of an eraser on a pencil, maybe a bit bigger or smaller.
