Ways to Smoke Cannabis

One of the most common instruments used to smoke cannabis is the hand pipe. Both small and customizable it appeals to many different types of consumers. Hand pipes operate by trapping the smoke produced from burning cannabis, which is then inhaled by the user.

Two of the most common types of water pipes are bongs and bubblers. Similar to a hand pipe, there are a vast array of designs and artwork that make each piece unique. The purpose of the water is to cool down the smoke before inhalation. The health benefits associated with this process is still being studied. 

When it comes to rolling papers, two methods come to mind; Joints and Blunts.

Joints: Cannabis rolled in paper. The type of paper varies from banana leaf, hemp, rice, etc. 

Blunt: Cannabis rolled in tobacco infused cigar paper. Blunts not only contain cannabis but also contain nicotine.

A vaporizer steadily heats the cannabis to a temperature that is high enough to extract THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids. Vaporizers keep the temperatures too low for the potentially harmful toxins that are released during ignition.

Vapes are a healthier version of smoking cannabis and also reduce the unwanted odor associated with consumption. 

Hookahs are not commonly used for smoking cannabis because they tend to be wasteful. The low water content in a hookah causes the cannabis to burn up before it can be completely inhaled. However, one benefit to a hookah is that more than one person can smoke simultaneously. Making the experience unique and alluring. 

One time use DIY pipes are very popular and easy to make. A regular apple can be turned into an instrument for consuming cannabis - all while not increasing your carbon footprint!
