    i'd like to get the most out of my new pot, what should i smoke off?
    i'm just trying to maximize the thc content of every piece i smoke.

    i'm thinking of buying a small glass pipe (we dont have much variety in argentina).. so, is it worth it?
    i cant find any picture though...

    thanks!

    Hola Mi Amigo!

    A pipe is nice for just packing and toking and repacking and repacking :) More efficient IMO than a J. Though J's still hold a special place in my heart.

    well i think you get more out of the weed by smoking it straight out of a glass pipe....

    with a joint you are smoking paper as well and im sure most of the THC burns while between puffs. Definitly would say buy a pipe, it would be a good investment.

    Smoke it out of a bowl, your weed is always used for efficently when out of a bowl.

    if you want to get the most out of it a glass piece would be the best because you dont waste all the smoke you waste with a joint while its burning and ur not hitting it

    bowls are better, but joints are pretty sweet, too

    I usually like glass, but a nice joint or blunt once and a while is always fun.

    The most efficient use of weed is a vaporizer. It uses about 2/3 of the weed a pipe does.

    A glass pipe is very efficient if you pack smaller bowls and cover your bowl in between hits to keep it from burning.

    In BA, I got a nice little one hitter glass pipe at the square in Palermo off a hippy for 9 pesos($3USD).

    Cheers

    Well, if you haven't heard of it, maps.org is a psychedelic research institute and they have carried out a bunch of studies on this topic.

    One such study http://www.maps.org/news-letters/v06n3/06359mj1.html (revised 2000) had this to say:

    However, this is strictly THC transfer rate (and unfortunately vaporizers tend to produce more CBN (which is non effective) than THC relative to the other choices) and definitely not about tar/carcinogen reduction.

    This particular study did not try normal pipes, though. There are some other studies there as well, but in general if you don't care about the carcinogenic content then a joint is the way to go. If you do, a vaporizer is the way to go. I would imagine that a normal pipe would be in between a joint and the portable waterpipe as some THC is not transferred using one (all the black sticky left in a pipe' tubes has some THC in it that was not delivered).

    so bubblers are the most efficient way to smoke in terms of THC delivery?

    i think it all depends on size.. they are comparing transfer rate.. meaing the less the smoke as to go through/distance to get to your lungs the less THC that will be lost..
