Ive heard though that 1 bowl of nargila is like smoking a pack of jacks, but you cant tell when you pull it.
Some people do smoke hashish in the nargila (the call it the "magic" one in most places) but that is an exception, not the rule in most bars. The people I know that smoke nargila daily over here smoke the magic one rarely if at all.
In fact, most of the people I have seen smoking hash or mj over here have smoked it out of a cigar.

Hmm, I think like analog, I'd pretty much gathered that the hookah tended to be used for hash. It sounds really interesting. I actually came across something about a hookah in a book I'm reading where he talks about tobacco being mixed with honey, fruit juice and little pieces of fruit.
The part I found really interesting though was this: He talks about taking the
argila head (whatever that is) and replaces it with an apple into which he has punched a load of holes. Supposedly works really well.
Some more interesting stuff here:

I'll have to try this sometime.
