Are bongs/waterpipes counter-productive?

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

I've read NORML studies that have concluded that a loss of THC does occur in water pipes. I believe hookahs turned up the most THC loss. I was surprised to see that joints actually yielded less of a loss of cannabinoids than bongs.

Regardless, you can't argue the power of the sheer volume of smoke that you get from an ice bong hit. In my world and yours.

how do you figure a joint would lose more cannabinoids than a bong? there's nothing to trap them, no water.


pipes and joints have to yield more than a bong, it's only logical.


and joints have paper added, so you're getting mroe than pot.


i like pipes and bongs
