Get an all-glass waterpipe/waterbong and use very cold water to fill it. Multi-chamber bubblers are a plus. Don't fill with ice, ice cools smoke down too much and reduces effective THC reaching your lungs. Vaporizers are possibly a good idea, I haven't tried any yet. Costly and sounds like they averagely are less effective. I'd say if you need to ingest the THC, eat the marijuana in any form (straight up, baked goods, etc)

Cold smoke is definatly better then hot or warm smoke. Personally I use a freon system on my bong. God I love chemistry equiptment

Hmm, Stan says you can get less high if you ice the bong- does anyone else have experience with this?

Frankly I get so messed up from the bong _with_ ice I probably don't need ways to make it stronger... but what the hell.

bubblers are definitley the best, huge, smooth hits.
even better if you throw it in the freezer for a few minutes and get that bastard cold.........cant feel a thing, unless you take too big of a hit....

ice bongs are awesome too, the bigger they are the smoother the hit......but i think bubblers are the best

so last weekend i lit up with a little bong (6 inches or so?) in the nyu dorms- it was ok, but then several hours later i used the same stuff using my more grown-up (foot long) bong in my apartment with ice.

much much better, of course. if anything there was a positive effect for strength too, just because it was less painful to inhale.

i think i can safely say to asthmatics everywhere that a footlong iced bong is the way to go. unfortunately nate_dawg i can't fit my bong in the freezer, that sounds like an awesome idea.

Would the heat from the lighter crack the bubbler after its been in the freezer?

nate_dawg

yeah, i was worried about that, but it hasnt yet. only thing i'm worried about is forgetting the damn thing and having the water freeze....

i guess if you were worried about it you could stick it in the fridge instead

or

if you really dont want to break that expensive piece, dont try it. they work great at any temp, hell, in some cases hot water is nice

Weed opens the airway up when you smoke ( or at least in most asthamatics) . So what's your deal ?

Thesedays, it doesn't really matter what I use. When I was younger, it was *cool to have the really nice pieces. Now, it's just whatever gets you high.
