Myth from an old stoner, or the truth?

[hash in hand]

ok duckFOOL figure this one.......i'll getmore stoned off a bong than pipe even if i'm not expecting it (i'm talking pipe on own to bong on own same sized piece) that is to say that i'm in no way thinking when im taking a rip 'wow im gona get fucked'...secondly the water in a bong smells bad pretty quickly and starts to turn yellow.....thc has neither of these properties...
so you stick that in your pipe and smoke it and i'll use my bong.

I think your missing the point here. Im talking about the cleanliness of the smoke your inhaling, i didn't mention anything about how high you get, ever.

you get higher when you use the bong because it cools the smoke and allows you to inhale a larger amount. Infact, to quote myself: "Don't be fooled.. bongs dont make smoke better for you, they just make it cooler and easier to handle." (With the emphasis on the last part). With a large chamber you can slowly draw the smoke making it more dense and then inhale it quickly. Everyone knows this and i dont really see your point. Perhaps you should reread everything posted.

If your talking about my second post, i'm taking a guess at why the man thinks the pipe works better. My point here is that normally this would NOT be the case and perhaps it is in his head. Reread reread reread.. why dont you "stick that in your pipe and smoke it".

nah but you were talkking about the fact that the water is adsorbing more thc than tar..... and i quote (dont know how to do the inset quote and cant be arsed learning) "When you pass the smoke through the water, you lose more THC than you do contaminants, and so end up with a worse THC to contaminant ratio than by simply inhaling the smoke directly." second post i agree either that or he doesnt smoke as much through the metal pipe meaning less heavy but more light fantastical high.....

atualy, to tell u the truth, ive seen it all over the cannabis boards, bongs atualy dont filter anything out, infact they put more shit into the smoke... i dont know how it happens, it could just be the fact that when they did the tests, they were smoking the resin out of the stem along with the bud.

if they dont filter anything out can you explain to me why the water tastes and smells so much different than it did before the smoking?

and as for losing thc, i dont know about that but i do know that smoking through water gets me highs as fuck, probably higher than anything else, so i dont really care about the precise amount of thc the water takes, but i dont think its a lot

Over my years of smoking I have my own philosophies about the essential stoners tools.


Bowls--Harsher than most other devices yet can deliver a good when made out of glass, metal and plastic sucks.

Bongs--I seem to get some really good sleep high's from bongs. Gravity bongs are good but can sometimes overwhelm. Bongs are good for getting those high's late at night.

Joints/Blunts--The traditional tools of a stoner. I seem to get my best hits from these when rolled right, and in turn my best "stoned" highs

Vaporizers--For me, the best daytime high available. When I smoke out of these things I get a good body high that has reduced rates of red eye. Good also because it is easier to taste the bud.

Apple and Orange Bowls--I believe these deserve their own category because the method of smoking and the experience is different form other bowls. Fruit bowls leave a good after taste but have the potential to absorb the most smoke out of any device. Good when you have nothing else but can get old fast and use only on special occasions. They can also be eaten later for when the munchies kick in.

**Note, all these observations are my own personal opinions. Yours may vary and whatever works for you then continue to do so.

Happy Toking :rasta:

not sure

i dont think so tho man

You can't deny that the bong water filters SOMETHING. But whether it filters all the crap out is another question.

I just find that when I smoke filtered THC, my highs are 'cleaner'. Pipe is just way too harsh (although I do have a home-made pipe that'll put hair on your ass). I've learned from experience that bongs and waterpipes are easier on the lungs than pipes or joints.

hello all im very new. ive been smokn for 3 years but went and lived in downtown SF just to fully maximize my green education to full potential. Quick question does anyone know what snapping bowls mean. B/c hands on that burns more brain cells thus u get higher besides the volcano. To fully enjoy and make good use out of the water pipe snapping bowls is the only way to go. Maybe its the inhaling of the butane lighter but after snapping a bowl from a solar hit, i can safetly say water pipes delivers a sure head shot.


I will be uploading pix later including my pieces and special herbz. Hit me up and gl ston'n

o yea water pipes do filter.. you know thats why the water stinks? try holding the water up against a blacklight..
