when i did it, i was doing nothing diffrent then what i'd usually do... and i smoked outta my regular pipe with the same bud the day before and that same day (after awhile and i'd sobered up, i wasn't gonna use the apple again) that's why i didn't understand it... basicly, take my everday smoking habbits, which don't produce these effects, and just replace my pipe with an apple pipe.. if i was in a pinch i'd use it of course, it's much smoother than smoking outta aluminum can, but i always develope a really horendous headache about 30 mins after smoking.
