Okay so you’ve smoke a joint and passed your friends bowl around before. Getting high is pretty cool right? But what is the best way to smoke weed? Many people have their own preferences and like to get high in a specific way, other people just crave THC and how they get high doesn’t matter. There are plenty of options when it comes to consuming marijuana like bongs, blunts, edibles, and concentrates. Your average weed smoker has consumed marijuana in at least a few different ways, but it is always fun to try other methods.
The Best Way to Smoke Weed
Marijuana Vaporizer – Vaping
I smoke a lot of weed, I mean a lot. I smoke when I wake up, I smoke before work, when I’m working, and its the first thing I do when I am done working. I use to like smoking joints a lot but after a while it just begins to feel to taxing on my throat and lungs. Smoking weed out of a bowl is great, but you are inhaling the butane from the lighter as well as the carcinogens from the marijuana plant. Many people will say vaporizing is the best way to smoke weed. Vaporizing is a great way to eliminate most of the carcinogens, eliminate the butane intake, and help you consume your marijuana in a cleaner way. I have had experience with many different vaporizers. If you can afford it, the Volcano vaporizer is one of the best ways to smoke weed without actually smoking it. They run over $500 but are well worth it if you can make the investment.
One of my favorites is a recent purchase I made of a G Pen Pro vaporizer. This vaporizer pen works better than most of the other brands and models I have tried. Most people have seen the standard pen with a little coil in the bottom of a ceramic chamber. I had one of those for a while and loved it, however it pretty much burnt the weed on the inside. The G Pen Pro has an oven chamber in it with 3 heat settings for different vaporizing preferences. The reason I like this device it because it hits very well over a dozen times and makes consuming marijuana easier and more convenient.
Marijuana Wax – Dabs
I have been a marijuana enthusiast for years and the new trend of Marijuana concentrates is very exciting. They are getting better, smoother, and more potent everyday. The first time I ever did a dab, the wax was a very dark color, and somewhat harsh, but it got me extremely high. Now I’ve gotten a little bit spoiled and have become somewhat of a snob and will only hit wax of a certain color or consistency. A good wax hit will get you really high, really fast and it will last a few hours. For some people, the only way to achieve a certain level of high is through wax hits.
I would not recommend doing dabs if you are pretty new to smoking. I’ve seen people get too high just from smoking high quality marijuana out of a good bong. If I were to have them try dabs I would consider myself a bad person. Another this you want to watch out for with wax is overuse. I have seen some people get crazy about smoking wax and binge on it for months. I feel if you consume marijuana wax too often you may ruin your tolerance to the point you can’t get high off just smoking weed anymore.
Water Pipe – Bongs
Boy do I love bongs. Big bong, little bongs and all the bongs in between. Water pipes are great for taking big hits and are always fun to bring out at a party. If you get yourself a larger bong you may need to get use to hitting it. The size of the bong can determine how big your hits are going to be. When you hit the bong you are filling up the piece with smoke until you pull the slide or carb. I have seen many people confident in themselves take way to big of a hit out of a larger bong and cough all of that confidence away. A bong can be a great investment. If you spend a little more you can get a nicer piece that has percolators for filtration. There are many different types of percolators that offer direct smoke-water passage. Some are designed to diffuse the smoke and cool down your hits. If you like taking large and smooth hits, a bong may be the best way to smoke weed for you.
Every time I buy a new bong I always make it a point to buy a better one than my last. It’s a real treat stepping up the quality of your smoking devices and exploring what some quality glass can do for your weed smoking. A good bong can support multiple slides as well as wax rig so you can use it for multiple things. Make sure you regularly change the water of your bong as this can directly effect the taste. I also recommend cleaning your water before it gets too dirty. I like to clean mine every other week just to keep buildup and general grossness out of my bong.
Marijuana Edibles
Oh man are edibles great or what. If you have ever had someone make you a good batch of brownies, you’ll know what I am talking about. Edibles are a great way of taking some of your favorite baked snacks and turning them into something that gets you baked. If you can make or acquire some good marijuana butter you can pretty much bake it into anything and get high. If you live in a state where Marijuana is legal you have probably seen some other marijuana edibles such as candies and drinks. We are able to extract THC and put it into more things we consume.
A good weed brownie might take over an hour before you feel the effect, but when you do its awesome. Its a little different than the traditional high you get from smoking weed. Some people describe it as a very heavy high that can slow everything down and make you very happy. I have also seen people pass right out the moment the edible kicks in. Some people swear by edibles, it is a cleaner way to consume the marijuana vs smoking it. However I can’t say its healthier if you are just eating brownies all day to get high.
