Dude! GET A VAPORIZER!!! I got a little Vapor Brothers for about $150 (inc. S&H) and it was the best thing I've done for me in years! After 1 week, my cough was GONE! Pot goes WAY further with a vape! I use half the pot and get twice the stone! AND the leftover pot will still get you high if you cook with it! ( Brownies! YUMMMMM) You can't beat it! You don't need to blow $500 on a volcano- this little VB works quite well IMHO. The high is a little different from smoking- you aren't getting those burnt byproducts- it's not quite as "heavy" feeling and there's less flavor, but you will have no doubt, that you are stoned. Do some research on the boards and I think you'll get a vaporizer. This old crow knows what she's talking about!
