The all mighty 'Rice Bong'.

[ethsfreshman]

oh yeah i forgot... i put sand in a gatorade bottle bong once... it didnt do much...

[Nochowderforyou]

Well no of course sand won't do anything.

at lollapalooza this year i had about 3/4 g of the best shit i have ever smoked (Straight up BC bud, still sealed in medical packaging) and my friend spilled his jager on it... and the funny thing is i still tried to smoke it...

haha well ive actually never spilled bong water....ever....but ive only been smokin bit over a year now(almost year half!).

the rice idea seeems like it WOULD work though, i mean it creates an artifically longer smoke path/labrynth, that would make it deposit its tars on the rice. kinda like a budbomb, but alot better.

i am DEFINATELY trying this soon. as soon as my break is up and i get some ganja.

i dont see how water can put in more tar unless water has tar in it. and since i drink gallons of it a week and bath in it every day i think ill take my chances. i suppose it is possible though if there was a chemical reaction with the smoke and water, but still not sure. i have seen things arguing for both as to the thc thing i have never felt a noticeable difference higher or lower except it is easier to take bigger hits out of water. i should like to try this rice method though.

It doesn't increase the amount of tar, it increases the ration of tar to THC, in other words, the level of THC is decreased. I know THC isn't water soluable but its what happens. THere are studies all over the web about it, I think some one had posted a link to one recently, try the vaporizer threads. Apparently the most efficient/healthiest way to toke, next to a vape, is a joint. I don't see why, maybe the weed filters the tar well at the begining, but then your'e just smoking it all eventually anyways. I think it has something to do with the way they're testing it, I'd like to see the tar/THC of a nearly roached out J.
Peace

I'm gonna copy and paste this from another thread. Still my post, just too lazy to write it again.

While I love the work that NORML/MAPS has done in the field of marijuana research (I didn't check the link, but that's pretty much word for word of the report they released), they have left out some clue words that every single scientist should be able to say in their sleep. However, they also do include words and phrases that allude to the test being somewhat less than 100% accurate.

First, you have to consider the condition. They used a very low-grade cannabis, and it is very possible that this could have affected test results.

Second, I don't believe they did take into account the amount of smoke lost through the process of smoking with joints. Whereas a bong has little to no smoke not being taken into the lungs, this isn't true of joints. Ya see my point?

What they didn't tell you they meant was that that test proved true for the conditions they were using. Just because one time something happened a certain way does not make that the rule.

Ya gotta take every report you read, from both sides, with a grain of salt.

I tried it, one BIG ass hit got me stoned, but it wasnt the smoothest i've had.
I think i'll stick with water and ice.

[psychedellics]

i tried this with some cooked noodles. it definately acheived the same effect. made my bong nasty though... it was only a powerade bottle bong so i didnt care.
i want to get some small glass pebbles and fill a bong with that. that way you would see the smoke traveling through the pebbles and it would get the "labyrinth" effect that was mentioned earlier. maybe a petstore would sell little glass pebbles for fishtanks?

[dankus maximus]

thats a good idea, exept i can see that breaking alot of GonG type bongs(more likely downstems), becuase of the leverage that it puts on the downstem. But on an Oring one it could be ok. I wouldnt do it though, id rather have somethign i know wont break my bong no matter what.

but if someone has one of those tiny 20$ cheap 8" o ring bongs theyd be willing to sacrifice for the purpose of finding out if the glass pebbles are ok, then that would be cool.
