Brass is safe. They make Brass screens.

Brass is Zinc and Copper. Zinc's M.P. is 419.4°C. Copper's melting point is 1,083°C.

Yeah, my friend once cut out a piece of her window screen when she was desperate for a screen... I've never been so fucked up or ILL in my life after smoking. I wanted to kick her ass!

You were, probably, smoking the skeletal remains of mosquitos.

I doubt that... her house was old, the screen tasted funny, and I literally vomited after smoking. I don't think that's from mosquitos.

Maybe pteradactyl mosquitos?

before you use screens that aren't 'brand new' you're supposed to burn them for a good 20-30 seconds...

i wonder if there's someone out there that would let you mold a bowl out of shit, let it dry then smoke out of it for the right price.... i've seen some people do some pretty stupid shit just to be on tv/internet... like the other day, there's about 30 thumb tacks laid out in a circle on the floor, then this dude puts his forehead on it, not pushing down on them, then you see this other dude STOMP THE SHIT OUT OF HIS HEAD. all the tacks stuck into his forehead.. then he started pullin 'em out with a fork.

Carbon isn't dangerous. Carbon can take a lot of heat and if it does oxidize it just makes CO2....plus soot is mostly carbon. That said, the only pure carbon you're likely to come across is graphite or diamond. If ur smoking out of a diamond bowl I'm comin to ur house!

Also remember, the only materials you really need to worry about are those that are exposed to significant heat. Like the bowl and stem. So a PVC bong is fine but not a pvc pipe.

Brass is okay.

Why is Aluminum so harmful? I feel I should know this as I've taken a lot of Chemistry and such but haven't ever heard of Aluminum being overly harmful.
