I don't see how a joint would differ in stoneness from using a pipe. That just makes no sense to me. Unless you're too feeble minded to use a pipe properly.

I always use pipes and never joints. I use a 1/4 of what I would use in my bong or pipe. 4 pipe or bong rips, and I'm good. If I'm alone there's no need for me to suck back an entire joint. I'd be too stoned, ya know.
