Blunts might argueably get you higher but are a drain on your stash.

I feel for the people vouching for the joint, if rolled properly it is highly effective and highly discreet, but taste like crap after re-lighting and reek the place up if you smoke inside.

With a pipe or bong you conserve a lot less, if you get good shit like me you dont need a whole joint to get high, 2 or 3 bong rips is perfect, and pipes are so easy to use fast and in public.

You should definently get the pipe its a worthy investment for any stoner.
