i wouldnt use a joint either, unless i had no other option, or felt like getting a nod on out in public. I always just smoked it on tin foil, or out of a meth pipe attached to a waterless glass bong.
I won't comment on the 3-foot bong remark, since you've covered that topic nicely

. Thanks.
The reason I roll it up is that smoking it off of tinfoil leaves the opium with a noxious, metallic taste, and a rather unpleasant headache. Perhaps it is just the brand of tin foil that releases more carcinogenic (or otherwise harmful) chemicals when ignited, but a nice little "snake" or spaghetti noodle of opium resin rolled in rolling tobacco and then wrapped up in a zig zag works perfectly well. Even if the opium burns slow than the tobacco, it's sandwiched in the middle and you can keep getting hits as the cigarette burns downward.
I dont vaporize it, because I have nothing like a methamphetamine or crack pipe lying around. I dont use drugs where a meth/crack pipe is needed, thus my only other option is to throw it in a bowl. This is the method I used to use before learning that literally
smoking opium is almost as wasteful as smoking powdered cocaine; the opiate constituents of the opium denature at temperatures lower than the temperature required for it to ignite (or if not below, than at relatively similar temperatures) and thus smoking such an incredibly rare drug is too much of a waste.
The heat from the pull of the cigarette vaporizes all of the opium before it enters my mouth, and in general, provides the best results. I'd sure love a try at really vaporizing it though, but unfortunately, I'm all out. It's been a pleasant six months, but I doubt I'll come across that quantity of said substance again.
I guess I shoulda explained myself better. Ah well.8)
Peace!
