When you smoke primo stuff you have to be careful to not cook it - smoking quality marijuana is an art form and should be treated as such:

You don't want to get it too hot lest you just scorch it: avoid direct contact of the flame with the bud.

Avoid sucking so hard that the flame (and lighter taste!) get sucked into the pipe and logically then into your throat.

Hold your hit in until your vision goes, then release.

These rules apply to "name" buds, any dro, chronic, any high-quality strain.

Also, and perhaps most important, is the integration of meditation with your smoking. Acknowledge the spirits. Be conscious and thankful for the gift you have been given. I find that when I do these things the spirits are more receptive and welcoming.

I'm kind of curious, how do you smoke like out of a pipe or bong without lighting the weed on fire? I mean I know the whole vaporizing process but damn I don't see how that would work out of any kind of piece besides a vaporizer.
