Marijuana Smoking
Smoking is the quickest but least
efficient method of ingesting marijuana
and experiencing its effects. Marijuana
smoke contains a number of carcinogens,
many of which can be removed if the smoke
is filtered through a water bong
but it will still contains some carcinogens
and can be an irritant. Studies have shown
THC has a bronchiodialator effect, which
may be effective in purging the particulates
from the lungs.
Joints or marijuana cigarettes, are the
perennial favorite of many people. They
are "shake", marijuana which has
had the stems and seeds removed, which is
inside a fold of rice paper and then rolled
into a cylinder. This is the singularly
most portable method to smoke grass once
the joint has been rolled.
Bongs pass the smoke through water to cool
and filter it. Grass is put into a bowl
on the end of a tube whose other end is
in a sealed container partially filled with
water. The end of the bowl's tube is below
the level of the water so that as the smoke
exits the pipe it is bubble through a layer
of water. The air pressure in the chamber
is lowered by breathing through another
tube that stays above the water level in
the chamber. When the air pressure inside
the chamber is lowered, air from outside
the chamber passes through the bowl and
its tube and bubbles through the water.
Marijuana bowls are the simplest devices
used to smoke marijuana. For the most part
they are similar to bowls used to smoke
tobacco but marijuana bowls should be made
of heat resistant materials such as stone,
ivory, metal, glass, and occasionally harder
woods. Grass does not tend to stay lit in
bowl so flame constantly has to be applied
to bowl which heats it up more than pipes
with tobacco in them typically are heated.
