a couple questions from the new generation of smoking...

oh that extra little hole where u put your finger? Well no it only has 2 the bowl and the piece where u put your mouth. It's made out of rock, its little, easy to hide, and it does its job.

Thats nice to know, but do you have any proof of it? Not that I want to argue, I just like to stay healthy and that would be a good rumor to clear up for myself.

asked my biology professor and its true. holding it in longer wont get you any higher really.

just tars your lungs up more. its futile.

[halfassedjediknight]

hey dude if you break it up a lot, youll get better hits and itll smoke quicker.

i like to break my bowls up into like 3 or 4 little eighth inch nugs and drop them in my bowl and smoke them that way. i hate breaking my bowls up into shake.

but its all about personal preference there.

Just make sure to inhale. I usually break my weed up into little BB size chunks if im using a pipe. With bongs i leave them a little bigger.

I dunno ive heard holding your hit 4 seconds absorbs 80% of the THC.
The whole thing about the THC getting absorbed instantly is, wouldnt that make hotboxing pretty much useless. I think the highest ive ever been was when me and 3 friends hotboxed my moms car and i always kinda thought it was because of the hotbox.
Anyway it would be cool if someone could find some reliable source on how THC is absorbed into the lungs and how quickly. I'm to lazy to look myself.

All holding a hit in for 25-50 seconds will do is deprive you of oxygen, creating a placebo effect of getting higher.

A study done by a group of doctors in Canada at Dalhousie University, concluded that more than 90% of the THC is absorbed into the lungs within the first seconds of inhalation. Another study confirms this, but they put their number at 95% absorption. The 5-15% of THC that isn't absorbed is due to THC loss in trace smoke, or smoke that never enters the lungs.

If this truly is Jack Herer, you should be laughing your ass off and be high as hell coz that strain is BOMB. Are there a lot of white crystals?

Since the pipe doesn't have a carb, be careful not to burn your throat too badly. It'll take a while to calm down if you do and taking hits while your throat got all burnt will hurt a bit, but still doable.

Break it up into smaller pieces and pack it up to the top. THe flame will go out quickly but it's good cause the weed won't idly burn. Just relight it when you take a hit or when needed, and inhale deeply.

Holding it 3 - 5 seconds will do the work, so don't worry if you see a lot of smoke.

Happy smoking.

[Reefer Rogue]

In the case of cannabis, it is a common misconception that holding the smoke in ones lungs for a longer period of time increases the absorption of THC, however roughly 95% of the THC is absorbed within the first five seconds and holding the smoke for longer than that can only irritate the lungs.

ur not smoking right then

if its your first couple of times some middys should be able to take you on journey , not some buzzed relaxed bullshit smoke blunt or use a bong, they're are easier to use pipes require a certain amount of skill to operate

[JohnnyB]

I cant see how using a pipe could be harder than using a bong or even a blunt. Its pretty straightforward, break your shit up, put it in hole, smooooooke.

[BUZz UK]

All of the THC that you'll actually be able to absorb is you in by 4-5 seconds MAX. There isn't any point in holding it longer.
