Much prefer vapourisers. The one I want is £300! It's called a volcano and bleeps when it's ready.
Means I never touch the evil weed (tobacco) again, though!
I floated out of the place after a hit on his vaporiser. He was only there at weekends when I was there, which was about 6 years ago.
I bought a vaporiser and sat on it about 20 minutes after buying it. :'(
The only high I'd compare that vaporiser with is a bong, Israeli style. No filter, keep burning and gently sucking until the ash falls into the water, then 1 quick breath to empty the bong, and its the nicest, easiest on the chest hit you'll have.

I did a bucket toke at my baby sisters last weekend for the first time in at least three or four years. Then I turned into a zombie and she did about five more. Man, I've changed. 😞
It seems to me that buckets (based on the website) are overly complicated. Surely one could just fill the bottle with water, punch a small hole in the bottom, put the bowl where the cap ordinarily goes (actually, just invert the cap and line it with foil with small holes), bust out the lighter and let the water run out the hole in the bottom until smoke fills the bottle? The principle is exactly the same, but only one container is needed.
No, ivanhoe, I don't use cannabis and haven't for some time.

Originally posted by ivanhoeThe biggest health risk with cannabis is emphysaemia due to the larger smoke particle sizes and stickier tar, when compared to tobacco smoke. You are only at any real risk of getting that if you smoke copious amounts over many years. That hazard goes away entirely if you take it some other way.
I want young people to know the truth. Everybody who goes skydiving or parachute jumping knows the risks. We should tell young people the truth about the serious health risks of cannabis use. We shouldn't tell them any lies dating from the sixties about how innocent this drug is.
First of all I want to inform young people about the facts. We owe young p ...[text shortened]... much risk they are willing to take regarding their future and their mental and physical health.
They've desperately been trying to establish some problem with the stuff for years as drugs make a handy demon for politicians to turn to when the economy goes wrong.
As an aside, prohibition of alcohol in the US didn't stop people drinking, it just meant that the alcohol people drank was less safe, and led to quite a lot of violence because the people who were selling it were criminals. Controlled substances are anything but.
If you lie to people and tell them that cannabis is deadly then they will realise quite quickly that you are lieing. They'll think you are lieing about heroine too, and that stuff really can run away with you. I used to know someone who had contracted hepatitis C at the age of 16 from intravenous use of heroine, I knew him during one of the times he was struggling to keep off the stuff. He'd have been more wary of heroine had he not been told fibs about soft drugs.
This type of paranoid nonsense has killed people in this country who took E's and were given far too much water to drink by panicing friends or relatives who'd heard some inaccurate information . MDMA interfers with the function of the kidneys as well as increasing the body core temperature, so you need to be careful both ways, too much water is more dangerous than too little, half a pint an hour is more or less the recommended rate.
I agree that people should be informed of the effects of drugs, this includes unwelcome side effects, potential hazards and so on. That way they can make informed decisions about their brain chemistry. The biggest danger with cannabis frankly is that you lose a couple of years of your life in an incompetent haze.

No, ivanhoe, I don't use cannabis and haven't for some time.
Another example of the bucket is the toilet bowl, take off the cover of the cistern, pop in your bottomless mineral bottle and start burning, then flush.
BOOM!!!
BTW: I'd like to thank Ivanhoe for providing this forum of like minded people to discuss one of their favourite pasttimes. Anybody strike you as insane, Ivan?

This is probably a true statement, but I blame the legal status of cannibis for this phenomenon.
If the roles of alcohol and cannabis were reversed, ie: alcohol was illegal and mary wasn't, then I reckon alcohol would become a gateway drug.
Why?
Contrary to what some people believe, people who use cannabis aren't desperately seeking a new, better high. That's not why some people who try canned bliss move onto harder drugs. The reason is because of the shady characters you meet when buying buds. If I had to meet the same shady characters to buy alcohol, I'm sure sooner or later, they'd offer me harder stuff than booze. Ergo, alcohol would then become the gateway drug.

We'd better put tobacco, alcohol and fatty foods on the list too. They'll kill you!
You know, Ivanhoe, correlation does not equal causation. If it did, I'd have to conclude from my own experiences that religion causes mental illness. I've known a number of people who found religion at the same time their schitzophrenia began.
Keep in mind tha ...[text shortened]... ink we need to be a lot more careful about criminalizing people for exercising these rights.
a lot higher on the list than grass, it is a thousand times more
destructive on the whole. How many deaths do you hear about
caused by driving while under the influence of cannibis?

The REAL gateway drug is tobacco not cannibis.
Think about it. Tobacco is a thousand times more addictive than
cannibis ever thought of being.

Just to add...
Tobacco kills more than 430,000 U.S. citizens each year-more than alcohol, cocaine, heroin, homicide, suicide, car accidents, fire, and AIDS combined. Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States. *
