when i'm short, i like to wait til late at night to smoke (instead of earlier in the evening) so that i can have a few beers and give my tolerance a few extra hours (you might be a pothead if you measure your tolerance in hours).
then i generally use either my vape or my bowl. using the vape, i'll often mix in some already-vaped pot and vape a little hotter/longer than normal to get everything out. with the bowl, i make sure to hold the flame an inch or two away from the bud so i don't destroy as many of the actives and get more hits.
then i get another bag and go back to my wasteful ways . . .
