How do you clean a pipe?

[Jack Torrance]

Say someone has been smoking spice out of a pipe after just getting into drugs, and now wants to use cannabis, should the pipe be completely cleaned? I heard that if it is not, you risk dying of an overdose when smoking cannabis from the pipe. (Say the spice was about 0.5g of AM-2201)

Say the pipe used is this (literally this one):

How would you completely clean it? Also if one was to want to experiment taking Salvia would a pipe like that suffice with an electrically ignited lighter?

As a side note can somebody please explain to me the rules about using "SWIM" and all that stuff?

[MEGA] Chemicals/Methods for Cleaning your Bong/Glass pipe?

^^Many methods are mentioned in that thread. I'm a fan of soaking my pieces in an isopropyl alcohol/table salt mixture for several hours, rinsing them with warm water and letting evaporate for 24-48hrs to completely get rid of the alcohol vapors. That might be a bit on the long and unnecessary side, but I'm a pretty cautious person when it comes to things I smoke.

You will not overdose if you don't clean the pipe before switching to just weed. You will, however, become accustomed to the taste of the herbal blend mixed in with pot-smoke. It's really a personal choice as to whether or not you should clean the pipe... personally, I would because I can't stand the taste of those disgusting blends.

I won't comment on the salvia because I don't have much experience with it.

SWIM does not work and will not relieve you of any possible legal repercussions of what you post. I think it might even be BL policy that we not allow the use of SWIM and all it's various incarnations on the site, but don't quote me on that. Just be honest. So long as you're not posting about international trafficking or setting up parties with other BLers, you'll be fine. If you're still wary, though, don't relate stories and only ask hypothetical questions. Seriously, though... if you're just a kid that wants to learn how to smoke weed as safely and healthily as possible you don't have much to worry about around here. Welcome to Bluelight, Jack. %)

Okay First off, and most importantly, it has be scientifically proven that Cannabis is nearly impossible to Over Dose on, and as of thus far there has NEVER been a recorded fatality from Cannabis consumption. Take 5 min to google it. Perhaps next time you hear something is gonna kill you, you spend less time figuring out how to prevent it and more time figuring out if said thing can ACTUALLY KILL YOU.

And if you want to get the spice resin off your pipe in a plastic ziplock bag filled with a mixture that is half water half rubbing alcohol. Shake it around and let it sit in it for 30min to a few hours. Then rinse in hot water really well. It will be like new.
