We call it a 'dirty shottie' up here, probably for a good reason. Apparently it get's you really stoned really quickly but just seems like a waste of time to me, plus, its dirty.
Shotties are excellent! I met some english stoners at a festival and they offered us to smoke with them they let us toke one of theese and it gives an AWESOME hit. They say to toke it till the weed is red and starts to roll down the pipe then you "lug" which means suck really hard pulling the weed through. The tobacco isnt burned its only used to keep the weed from falling down the pipe.
Yeah tokerjamie, shotties rule! Some ppl here need showing how its done! All my friends and everyone I know who smokes weed do shotties, no one does bongs round here. Suppose it depends how long youve been smoking, as we need a biggg hit so its the only way.
