I was a joint smoker for over 30 years. Oh yeah I had a bong and other pipes, but I mainly smoked joints. They're so convientent, and you don't have to keep emptying/re-filling a bowl. I was having a friendly arguement about 6 years ago with a friend who rarely smokes joints. He prefers a small glass bong. He agreed that for convience, joints are hard to beat. Horseback riding, at a ballgame, a joint's so much better. And if your slick, you can smoke a joint like a cig and no one will notice (unless they're downwind of course). But he said "Keep track of how much weed you smoke in joints during the next week. Then smoke exclusively out of a pipe for a week, keeping track of how much weed you go through." I did. Great leapin' horney toads was I surprized. I got just as high just as often on 1/2 the weed! Conclusion: joints waste weed. Blunts waste major weed and spliff's are the most wasteful of all. You can get just as high off a small glass spooon as you can off a huge spliff and get that way a lot more often.
This is very true. I only smoke joint on rare occasions. Personally I do like it a little more, but I can't quite afford to just throw weed away like that!
pipes do the job quick and give you an instant hit, but this so-called "waste of weed" that i smoke in spliffs really lets me chill and you can really enjoy a spliff.. rather than the harsh hit of a pipe (as a hash smoker).
yeah. usually id only roll a jay if i had shitloads a weed to smoke. but usually i buy like a half eight or a gram a day, so i just use my pipe.
i have a mate that always pipes his stash and i'm sat there skinning up and chilling - he lies there blazed after 4 or 5 pipes and i just gradually take my high further - they are definitely 2 different types of highs.
I used to love joints too but its true how much you waste weed by smoking them, even worse if your outside the wind smokes up half of it. i do like the fact that after your done you still have a roach with you can save for later times when you are dry lol
I always smoke blunts when I'm with friends. It's just easier that way. We don't have to keep reloading and we can just sit there and pass the blunt around 7 or 8 times and chill. Pipes are a lot of hassle. I do use pipes when I'm by myself though. It just depends on what you're looking for, I guess. It also depends on the kind of weed you have and how much of it you have.
We even roll blunts when we have the good shit. If we buy $50/eighth worth of dank we roll a 3.5g blunt and get super-blazed. I'm talking about being blazed to the point of actually tripping. Not being able to talk and what-not.
i'm not cheap enough to worry about the miniscule amount i'm losing smoking joints, and smoking anything but is for skids.
Light a joint, take a hit, "Here, brother" (joint burns) "Thanks" (joint keeps burning) Hit #2 "Jane, wanna toke" (J. burns on) "Wow, thanks"(still not out) Hit #3 etc. Well, you get the idea. The constant annoying need to re-light pipes means the weed is not burning unless its being injested. Clearly, a more efficiant use of weed.
yeah, constantly re-lighting pipes and shit is annoying, specially if it's a windy day, and the flame just won't hold! going through the trouble to light it once is tolerable, but not for every toke... joints all the way for me... grew up on them, the herb culture round here, plus i roll the best j's outta me and my mates, so i get rollers rights mostly
I rarely use a joint/blunt. Everyone around here who I've smoked with usually always uses a bong or pipe, so I have no problem with them. Though I do like the chillness of a joint or blunt, pipes/bongs save much more weed and I usually don't buy huge amounts at a time so I just load bowls.
Seems logical since the paper - and thus the weed - doesn't usually stop burning in between hits. A bowl, on the other hand, can easily be snuffed out and then re-lit if it continues to burn.
i smoke joints when I buy a new bag of pot. when I only have like a nickel bag left I switch to my spoon or bong. joints do waste pot, but only a little bit. I agree with digitalldj, im not too worried about the tiny amount of pot wasted my smoking joints......
Plus, the tiny bit of weed wasted is worth the chill time you get when smoking a blunt. There is nothing better than smoking a blunt between 4-5 of your closest friends and just chilling. It's what I assume Heaven will be like. Wonderful.
i smoke allt hat shit in a blunt and then ask myself how im feelin and its a greatr ass replay especaily wen i look at the faces of other people around me. also i gots a bong but it cashes bowls ridiculusly. and i gots a duble glass peice thats great for the run and they do conserve buf though
is it not hard to smoke half a joint or 3/4 of it and save the rest until the later night or next day(depends on the weed) then u can just smoke the rest of it and get just as high again? c'mon people joints are the shit or another thing i like to do is save the roach for another high. and pack a bowl with it, you get the weed and the resin the joint left on it
As I said in the first post, using a pipe vs. a joint/blunt/spliff means you'll be able to get just as high twice as much. That's a fuck of a lot more than a little. Smoking a joint is like smoking a bowl and then flushing some down the toilet. I like weed too much to waste it.
