Using a magnifying Glass instead of lighter

i have heard it does
my friend told me that if u use a mag glass u can vaporize the weed rather than burn it but i never had one around to try it so im not sure
 
Sounds like to vapourise the weed.. It would take ages and you wouldnt get as stoned, as it wouldnt heat it fast as a real vapouriser would..

I don't think theres any purpose left in this thread?
 
It wont get you higher, but it'll be a cleaner smoke because all of the other shit hasnt been let out of your bud as it is not on fire, only heated up. Just use a lightbulb vapourizer for the same effects.
 
The only time I have ever found use for this is when I was in the middle of the ocean on a boat and it was too windy to light the bowl. Then it worked GREAT :). It didn't get me any higher though. It was just a solution to the wind factor.
 
Ha I actually read about this in one of those Cannabis Culture magazines, debating whether lighters or matches are better for a cleaner smoke. It said the cleanest smoke can be gotten by using a magnifying glass on a sunny day, and I definitely see that as true. You are using only the sun's energy to light it, nothing else. I don't think it would vaporize it depending on how strong you concentrated the sun's rays, if you got it down to one tiny point it would probably be hot enough to burn it. This would be fun to do for novelty purposes, and srw96 put it to practical application, but for normal use it would probably be an inconvenience.
 
damn gugglebum chill out =D the novelty of it may be cool but it think it'd get old fast

A Bulberizer would be just as clean, as the flame never actually touches the weed. You can't get any chemicals from the lighter fluid in there.

theres another source of energy available to us!? when you burn a match, youre taking the sun's energy out of the wood it was stored in. similar claims about the tip, butane in lighters from natuiral gas, etc can be made... so id like to know what the source of energy is other than the sun's energy for any other method of starting fire... energy from a nearby star?

Stop. Now. Going. Nowhere. Really.
 
solar smoking is the shit. it takes as long to spark a bowl as it does to fry an ant or a leaf (all about the angle). 8)

One of the reasons I like to solar smoke is that you don't have a fuel taste behind the weed. its just straight up weed goodness. I find that a pipe is the most effective way to solar toke.
 
dude. what? are you serious. if you want to vaporize weed just get a vaporizor, im not one to sit outside for hours waiting for the sun thru a microscope to get me high.
