0 How To Clean Resin Off Glassware

There are many ways to clean bongs, pipes, and other smoking apparatuses. Proper techniques and tricks will successfully clean the dirtiest glassware. Careful cleaning must be observed to protect against breaking as many bongs, bowls, pipes have broken from being roughly handled when cleaning. Keeping your portable pieces cleaned and resin-free is very important. Due to the strong scent of resin, police and authorities are likely to smell the dirty resin accumulating in your pipe rather than the bag of weed. In addition, keeping bongs and larger devices clean will ensure smooth hits and better smelling bedrooms.

First piece of advice: do not clean your bong when you’re under the influence. You may accidently break it by dropping the slippery glass object or knocking it over causing it to break. Once you are sober, tackling the resin that has built up in your bowl and bong will be easy. Resin will find itself in the sink, on the counter, and on the floor. It is very sticky and easily stains surfaces; therefore it should be immed iately wiped off. If the glassware has not been cleaned for several months, soaking in hot soapy water will be necessary to loosen resin particles. Purchasing glass and bowl cleaners from smokeshops is not necessary. Your money can be better spent elsewhere as these products tend to be overpriced.

You can create the same solution by purchasing the strongest alcohol possible. Pour some alcohol with large rock salts into the bong and seal off all holes by using saran wrap and rubber bands. Shake the bong carefully to allow the rocks to scratch and remove built up resin. Rinse with hot water and repeat these steps until almost all the resin has washed off. Soaking the bong in hot water, alcohol and salt overnight may be needed to remove excess resin build up. You can also soak glass bowls in the same solution to remove built up resin and ash. Other cleaning options include OxyClean and dish washing detergent. Cleaning the outside and mouth piece with hot water and soap is also recommended. Always make sure to thoroughly rinse the bong to remove any salt and alcohol residue.

These are the necessary steps in order to properly clean glass bongs. If you are experiencing problems with bad odour, soaking your bong with hot water and lemon juice is recommended. Remember, it’s important to keep your tools clean to prevent attracting the heat and to fully enjoy your bud. Taking the time to clean and sanitize bongs and pipes on a regular basis will create proper smoking habits.

0 Different Ways to Smoke Your Weed

Whether you’re a regular toker or a newbie, you are most likely searching for new ways to enjoy your herb.I will quickly outline the basic and common ways to smoke your weed. Stay tuned, I will be highlighting interesting ways to smoke your weed in weeks to come.

Fun Joints

First and foremost: the joint. Joints can be rolled in a variety of different ways including the straight joint, cone, combined joint and tulip. I recommend the use of cigarette rolling paper which can be found at your closest corner store. The smoke intake is smooth, however it does burn quickly. Your clothes and hands will most likely smell of weed, and you must watch out for canoeing.

Tulip Joint

Blunts

The process is very similar to a joint. The weed must be rolled using blunt papers made of tobacco (sometimes flavoured) and the hits canbe harsh due to the large amount of weed. Blunts burn much slower compared to joints and are therefore perfect for larger groups.

Pipes

These are great for on the go smoking. No need for pesky rolling skills and are easy to carry in pockets or purses. They are quick and great for sharing and passing. Be careful not to break the pipe, as they are most commonly made of glass.

Water Bongs

There are a few different types of water bongs: plastic, ceramic, and glass. Plastic bongs are convenient because they do not easily break. Once you’re stoned, your senses are lowered, causing bongs to shatter from carelessness. Unfortunately, smoking from plastic bongs is not recommended due to the plastic residue which can be found in the water. Ceramic bongs are mostly ornamental; they usually break easily and are not as convenient to clean. Glass bongs are ideal. They deliver smooth and natural hits and are the most common bong used. They are built in all shapes and sizes but, remember, the bigger the bong, the more smoke it can hold, therefore take your time hitting bowls with a new bong. The disadvantages of glass bongs include the possibility of breaking and bulkiness.

The Hookah

Hookahs are great tools because they let multiple people to smoke all at once. They allow you to burn the weed on top while we inhale from long plastic tubes. Hookahs tend to use more weed than necessary, therefore it is not very useful for large groups.

Homemade items

You and your friends can make your own pipe or bong with objects found in or around your home. By doing a few Google searches, you will find a multitude of different items including beer cans, apples, water bottles, etc. They are excellent for when no one has a paper or bong, however they only tend to be good for once or twice. Begin by experimenting with your apparatus and making sure it is working properly, you might have to make minor adjustments.

0 Proper Etiquette for Smoking Weed

There are several established rules throughout pothead communities which keep order in the stoner circle and allow everyone to have an enjoyable weed smoking experience.

1. He who rolls the joint, lights the joint.

2. Never refuse anyone smoking your drink as cotton mouth is not enjoyable.

3. Don't 'Niggerlip' the spliff, meaning - don't get saliva on the end of the joint.

4. Do not smoke the spliff for too long as it is not cool. . . NOT COOL.

5. Don't roll anyone else's bud without permission.

6. Pass the joint round in a circle (its really gay calling 2nd & 3rds)

7. Try not to pass someone the dog-end of the spliff, its quite insulting.

8. Don't smoke with dodgy looking people you don't know as there could be anything in that joint.

9. Don't be tight with your weed and others won't be tight with theirs.

10. If someone is unable to light the joint from either being too high or just too high, they must relinquish the duty to someone else.

11. If someone smokes you out you must return the favour at some point in the future.

12.Do not double skin a 'tampon' joint. Always re-roll if you fail at the first attempt.

2 Tips & Tricks To Improve A Bong Hit

Here are a few tips i'd like to share with you to ensure that you get a decent hit from your bong.

- To ensure a nice fresh hit, keep your bong chilled in a fridge to ensure a nice cool, fresh hit (do not put a glass bong in the freezer as it may well crack).

- Twist your bowl in tightly to ensure an air tight seal for a more direct bong hit and ensure the gasket isn't broken.

- Change the bong water every session.

- Pack your bowl tightly with bud and poke a hole through the middle with a toothpick so the bud burns well and the smoke has a direct route through the bong.

- If you lose the rubber grommet from your bong you can use an elastic band or blue-tack to seal up the gap.


- Clean your bong regularly

0 Tips on how to find bud when in a new/unkown area

There are so many different methods of finding bud and depending on where you are in the world with regards to laws and amount of potheads in that city you should adjust your methods.

If done right this can all be done in a day, but you have to be willing to put yourself out there, strike up conversations and be patient.

Who to approach

Although they probably know best DO NOT ASK THE COPS!

In a relaxed environment where people are chilled, you can go from corner shop to corner shop and either make conversation about weed or straight up ask for weed. This can be a long process though.

Spark up a conversation with some youths, preferably youths that are smoking and preferably ones that won't stab you :)
Ask them what the situation with weed is or ask them where the nearest head shop, if that country has such things . . .

Which brings me to my next point college / university campuses / hangouts because believe it or not a lot of students smoke weed! :)

If you see someone that you know is high, go and make friends . . .

How to approach

Cigarettes are a good conversation started whether you ask for one or offer one. Whilst smoking or talking you can make reference to anything slightly to do with weed e.g i wish this cigarette was a joint or i once hot-boxed a phone box like that.

If the person seems more relaxed and approachable you can ask them straight out if they smoke weed or know where to get hold of some bud.

Buying the herb

Once you find a dealer . . .

I hope i don't need to tell you to not follow shady people in to back allies and accept some scrunched up foil for $100 . . .

Alternatively

0 Proper etiquette for stealing lighters

We all do it whether on purpose or accident, whether to baked to remember where it is (usually in your hand) or you have a game amongst your stoner friends in which who can steal the most lighters.

Stealing lighters from a stoner circle is perfectly acceptable as long as the following laws are followed. Lets face it anyone can sneakily steal a lighter and deny taking it, it's more fun this way . . .

These rules do not apply to personal lighters or lighters of sentimental value.

Rule 1: The lighter must be handed to you whether you request it or not.

Rule 2: If they ask for the lighter back you must give it back ( especially if it's to light a spliff).

Rule 3: Once the lighter has been jacked and the jackee sees it on another occasion they may not have it back as they have previously given up hope on ever finding it again (that's right the laws are getting biblical).

Rule 4: Don't get caught!

0 Cool things to do when you are high

So your baked out of your mind after having a fat bong, spliff or blunt smoking session and you are wondering how can i entertain myself. This is how you discover your own personal smoking pastimes.

Firstly Sitting around in front of the tv watching boring reruns will leave you down and stoned rather than high. Unless you are watching an intense film which is worth getting high for, most things that involve slouching on a couch/beanbag just lead you down or to sleep.

Munch

Every stoner likes to munch! So here's anther cool trick after you've had a phatt smoke; Head to the kitchen.
Don't just jump on the standard crisps, chips and chocolate but get inventive and create something exotic because most things taste good when you stoned.
Banana and peanut butter was a great discovery.

Games

Next is any activity that's cool but dosn't require too much effort like bowling/shooting as opposed to paintballing (i don't like being shot when i am high) although lazer tag is very debatable, it's a lot of fun high if you have the energy.
Poker is the ultimate game to play when high as you are relaxed and cool, you make cool calls. But don't get too cool or overheated otherwise you've lost. Board/bored games are fun with some chillin music in the background and you can include spliff and bong hits in the game somehow . . .

Messing about

After a few bong hits of some cool weed another trick i like to do is just find shit around which ever room in who evers house i'm in and just mess about with it till i realise how baked i am.

Music

MUSIC! is for chilling and can be played through any activity mentioned above, no need to go into this. You just have so much more appreciation for music when you are high.

Computer games

The ultimate passtime to do while smoking weed is to play computer games. Naturally games consoles are first choice as they are the easiset to interact with, especially the Wii. So you can play Fifa or Nba for bong hits or whatever. Then there are onlie computer games which are brilliant for when you are high.
I will post some suggestion sites soon.

0 Can mango make you higher?

You may have heard that eating a ripe mango 45 minutes before you smoke will intensify your high and like me you may be very skeptical as to how this would work. So i looked into it. .

The science behind it is this; Mango contains something called terpene Myrcene. This is the most prevalent terpene that is also found in cannabis. Therefore eating Mango an hour or so before having a toke should in theory increase the intensity of the high since Myrcene helps the THC pass the blood-brain barrier quicker.

The mango must be ripe and must be eaten at least 45 minutes prior to smoking.

After trying this it worked for 4 out of 5 of us, but the one who it failed for smokes way too much to tell the difference anyway.
The high lasted longer than usual and was very pleasant. This is definitely worth trying.
Enjoy . . .

0 Improve and make your bong hit stronger

Here are a few methods i use to get a nicer, better hit outa' my bongy bong bong!

1. Unless you have an ice bong for a nice smooth chilling hit add crushed ice to the bong water and exhale a chilling cloud of smoke!

2. Use milk in the bong rather than water and you'll get a really thick hit, this is really good, trust me! But don't forget to wash it out straight away afterwards.

3. This is one my Russian friend showed me except he takes it to extremes. Use vodka instead of water and get a hit of the vodka fumes, this disperses the alcohol into your bloodstream quicker than drinking the vodka would. Except he downs the vodka afterwards! Nutter!

4. None diluted fruit juice instead of water will give you a tasty fruity hit, very nice . . . girls!

5. Fill your bong with hot water and the hit will shock your lungs less than an ice cold hit. It's like taking a drag of silk.

Have i missed anything?

0 Smoking Trick 12: How to smoke weed without a lighter

Sounds too good to be true?! Well the clue is it can only be done on a sunny day, so if you live somewhere where there is no sun then move to jamaica.

Set up your pipe/bong normally, get a magnifying glass and aim the concentrated sun ray at the weed while your friend starts toking.
It's a more natural way to smoke and as the guy mentions in the video provided it's like a vaporizer hit.

Enjoy

0 Weed Smoking Trick 11: Blowback

Although this video is crappy quality and quite frankly a little gay, it perfectly portrays how to execute a blowback hit.

You will need:

- A joint
- A friend

How to blowback the joint:

Turn the spliff around and put it between your teeth so that the embers in your mouth and seal with your lips.

Blow lightly with the end of the joint in your friends mouth, and they will get a sick hit.

Try using a short joint with a girl/boy and score a free kiss.

Variations:

Taking a drag and blowing back through kissing . . . ;). Very sensual

Taking a drag and transferring it through a pipe or something

. . .i'm too baked to finish this

0 Weed Smoking Trick 10: The harsh one!

I am yet to upload the video of this trick.

It's harsh as shit so it's for experienced smokers only but it gets you as high a shit.

How?!

Take a drag of a joint and when it comes to the inhaling part put the spliff towards or on your lips so that when you take a deep breathe through your mouth, you get a direct hit of joint.

Hold it in for a little while, exhale and chill out.
