For the stoners

[mona]

Green Green Green Green Green Green Green
we're doing enough damage to our lungs using water pipes, we don't need to add dirty tobacco to the mix.
I'm sure I've told this story here before, but if ther were ever a time to tell it again, by golly this would be it.
first though, Bobrick, can I come and live at your place?
My friend Chris has an ultra swish looking chrome tube bong. Very simple, very stylish - goes by the name of Bingo Bongo. We went through a stage (it doesnt happen anymore, Bingo's been put out to pasture since, in favour of the spliff - but a bucket bong has been erected for tha hardcore ) anyway, we went through a stage of having 'ritual cones'. Before you had your cone you'd have to repeat the mantra
"Forgive me Bongo for I have sinned, it has been *blah time* since my last Bingo Bongo.">>proceed with cone>> exhale>> then "Aaaaaaahbooooong" (sung in Amen syles). Then you would bow and elect the next Bingo Bongo worshipper.
hehe crazy stoners.. oh yeah, and I use a Mullomatic!! Its cute and retro and works quite well, but I usually put it through 2-3 times. The best bit is emptying out the blade when you're skint and finding a whole cones pleasure inside
BEETEE!!! You sure do know the way to a girl's heart (lungs). Will you marry me?

Few of my friends insist on mixing tobacco with the green =/
Don't really have any rituals I'm afraid. I knew one person though who after he'd smoked ol mary jane he'd would go to church and confess it as a sin...
Bucket this weekend! First time in months.

We know a stoner who we all belive has been put upon this earth just to design the best bongs. In our time of knowing him, we've seen him make bongs from the most amazing things.
Every time you see him, he's either making a new design for a superbong, or testing one out. He'll be walking around outside, come across something, look at it, and just smile and say "That would make a hell good bong." And it does.
Horray for stoners!

mmm reminds me of me! lol u just can't help it, i seem to enjoy smoking the weed rather than the weed itself sumtimes, got various self made bongs for all occasions ~
I seem to b the designated sess host at raves, since i always have bongs of sumkind. buckets are gettign better though, slowly they are growing on me... *puff puff again* *puff puff passssss*

 

[EJ]

Green all the way. In our group, 50% smoke green, 50% smoke spun. Pretty much, we've always smoked outta home made bongs, but i'm soon going to be the owner of a vapouriser. The health benefits are well-worth it's price.
This is a pic of the one i'm getting

Edit: Sorry Mods for that other link, I simply forgot.

On the topic of bong technology, I'm hanging out for the day when bulberator-bong is designed, allowing the user to inhale sweeet, sweeeet gas and smoke in a single punch.
BTW, there are also these crazy hygiene bongs in Amsterdam coffee shops that have a motor which blows the smoke into your mouth, so you don't have to put your lips on the bong! How lazy can stoners get?
Oh, and Bobrick, if your concerned about spending too much on schmoke, why not try growing? (unless you already do) It's a weed for f*#ks sake, they'll grow nearly anywhere. Mother Natures way of saying 'Ít's healthy and delicious'!
oh, and remember ppls, you only need to hold the smoke in for a third of a second to absorb the THC, so avoid crispy lungs and eexxhhaalleee.

 

[TiT0]

on that point actually,
how long do u need to hold a full breath to absorb max amount of goodstuff and minimal amount of contaminants that end up affecting ur respiratory system??
i'm sad to say i must hand in the towel after sonic this wekend
no more green gold burnt in an offering to the gods for at least 3 weeks.

 

[BigTrancer]

I recall reading somewhere that 95% and up of THC content of a lungful of smoke is absorbed within the first 3 seconds. I'll try to find a reference for that for you. Essentially the 'hold til you're blue in the face like a whippie' is only good for making your heart race and make you hyperventilate afterwards.
Until I can find said reference, on with some more choof porn:

Another stoner story that I like to entertain people with is about the plant of my friend, when he used to occupy the household across the street from me, he had quite an expansive backyard.
One time when he was transporting some seeds from his shed to the main house, he tripped and spilled the little fuckers all around the yard.
Suffice to say, a few weeks later a little hemp plant grew up right next to the clothes line. We laughed at this mishap, but then were struck with an idea: why not let it grow? The neighbours on either side smoked their own weed, so there were going to be no complaints from them.
So we let it grow.
And grow.
And grow.
And grow.
About 1 year and a bit later, his parents came back from their extended visit in Nigeria, and they were welcomed by a 12 foot marijuana plant waving to them from the back garden.
His father looked it up and down, looked at my friend and just said "Impressive, can you get rid of it?"
So we stripped it down. It filled bags and bags.
And that was one of the best holidays of my life.

I've heard that before BT, but most of the evidence I have collated anecdotally, and empirically suggests the opposite.
To best oberve this effect, I suggestyou try the "2-2" round method for joint smoking:
Take two puffs, hold, pass, wait for the next person to take two puffs, exhale.
It's not great for two people, but it makes people smoke to their capacity, so everyone gets stoned. It's only something that gets done usually when were running out.

mmmm, bucketbongs, mmm, been 4 years since smoked 2 hyge cones and been screwed over.....mmmm got a 3lt cordial bottle in the recycling bin....mmmmmm

I wanna know how well vapourisers work. Do they hit you as hard as bongs? Or is it more like the stonuing of a joint?
Basically, what I'm asking is, do you get your money's worth of grill.

 

[Fry-d-]

Vaporisers are a completely different high to bongs or joints. I'd say its closer to a joint high but it’s not really even that. But if you’re looking for the fast onset and being 'belted', as we call it, you get from a bong you will be disappointed by a vaporiser. We found it could be a slightly more expensive way of smoking weed though.
It’s a much smoother transition from straight to wasted, so much so I found sometimes the subtleness of it left me feeling I wasn’t wasted when in reality I was quite trashed. I quite like the vapour high but was put off by the time it takes to run through the whole procedure. Chopping, heating, breathing ....repeat
The advantages far outweigh its bad points tho. It doesn’t smell, it’s not bad for your lungs and it's just another cool looking bong to have in the cupboard

It really depends on the vapouriser more than anything. You could put in half a gram and inhale it in one go, this would get you more trashed than any bong hit i'd imagine. It just comes down to your vapouriser and how much you can put in it at a time.
Theoretically, a well-made vapouriser SHOULD be a more economical way of smoking as opposed to bongs, joints, etc. It vapourisers close to all the THC, and doesn't burn other plant matter you don't want to inhale.

Try spinning those beautiful buds with the often overlooked leaf. It gives the smoothing that most people add tobacco for, but without the horrid taste. It's smooth as silk, with an added THC buzz....
Or so a little bird told me

Spinning with leaf is an excellent way to smoke your brew, unless it is seriously horrible tasting leaf, it still grabs your throat like smoking no spin does but gives a mad bong hit

Some people favour the nicotine rush from a 1:1 mix of tobacco and choof. Rather than smoking green and feeling relatively nothing for 10-15min when they start getting stoned, the nicotine rush hits instantly and lasts for up to 5-10min, by which time you're starting to get stoned.

Yes the scraping of the coffee grinder is a much anticipated event in my house. The results of the scraping is called "gold". When enough is collected so that multiple cones of pure crystal can be obtained, its known as a "gold rush".
When the call "theres gold in them thar hills" goes up all housemates must assemble around the bucket bong. This can (and frequently does) happen any hour of the day. We pay homage to the great dope provider in the sky by praying (repeatedly) in to a full bucket of filthy water.
Sometimes a gold rush can lead to bongathon, in which housemates are challenged to go cone for cone with Dougzilla, using the oversised double chamber reinforced glass waterfall bong. Dougzilla is the reigning bong olympian and cannot be beaten (although it sure is fun to try). Dougzilla emerges only after smoking monster cones of gold.
Losers are known as "bitches" and may be co-erced into late night servo missions.
OMFG THE CLASS!!!
I haven't partaken of the green for a long time, like a month or a little over. I miss it.

I actually tried that AK-47 in Amsterdam last year, it is definitely the primo but we have stuff here that would compete. Queenslanders have the "fruit", one of the most vicious strains I have ever polluted my lungs with. I should try and post a pic....
I used a vaporiser in the basement of the hemp museum in A'dam that was so huge (the chamber was about 60cm in diameter) that you could cook a quater oz at a time and toke it all in about 3 giant breaths. 2 yanks I just met and I went 3rds in about 3.5 grams of hash as the locals looked on shaking thier heads. I was sure for the first 30 seconds or so that I'd actually done it - i was going to be the first person to over dose on chop, but I didn't die, instead I stumbled around looking for somewhere to eat. The americans threw up (I called them bitches).
After the jamaicans the Aussies are the biggest smokers, followed by canadians and maybe the israelis. The british and americans should just give up - most haven't even caught on to the idea that you can chop up the weed for smoking ease, enabling you to take monster tokes - bongs aren't made for passing around dead smoke.
Anyway, heres my amateur style attempt at choof porn...

Put that in your pipe and smoke it BT...

Oh Heavenly Bluelight Thread...
Smoking weed is the fucking shit.
And it takes a good few years with your mouth wrapped around the top of an orchy bottle to realise this. I can throw a bong outside my window and hit a stoner, i mean this is Newcastle for fucks sake.
And then i can walk up to this random stoner and ask him...
Dude, explain to me your vision of the best weekend ever?
And the stoner replies..
Ummmm okay dude, hmmm, no wait check this. Ummmm, yeah nah that would be heaps better, okay you ready?
*At this point i kick the random stoner*
Stoner: Okay, ohhh sorry duuude. Okay now my most wicked weekend is like this right. I get the crew together, and we go and pick up an ounce or three of the most skankiest weed you've ever seen.
Playstation 2, bong, cushions.
*At this point i hug the random stoner*
Why??
He aint trying to impress noone, and he definately aint hurting noone. He's just satisfying his carnal stoner need for that sweet, sweet 'erb. He knows he could have said that he wanted half naked girlies prancing around him and his crew as they started to molest that dank weed. But he also knew, it's all about the ganja.
Nothing else matters. A true stoner.
*I apologise for hitting the random stoner on the head with my ceramic bong, and for kicking him, and invite him inside for a cone or thirty. Once that bong has been passed from me to him, the stoner bond has been established. I now call him Max Stoned. He is my friend*
