Official Guide to Marijuana Pipes

Pipes are one of the oldest methods of smoking and it's no doubt why.

Types of Pipes
Metal
Glass/Spoon
Wooden
One Hitters
Vaporizer Pipes


Glass/Spoon Pipes
A  glass pipe or spoon pipe is the most common pipe used for smoking cannabis. They come in all different types of colors and shaped and some even change color. Glass pipes do not become hot after multiple uses do to the nature of the glass.

Wooden Pipes
Wooden pipes are typically used for tobacco but can be use for marijuana. Wooden pipes have larger bowls than metal or glass due to it being meant for tobacco. The hits off of the pipe are warm and is like smoking out of a, well, wooden pipe.

Metal Pipes
Metal pipes are also called hash pipes. They look like a short metal tube with a bowl on the end. They are pretty popular as well and come in a variety of sizes and designs.

One Hitters
One hitters are small tubes that have a bowl that can hold one good hit. they are generallyy glass or metal but can be made out of wood and other materials also

Vaporizer Pipes
Vaporizer pipes work in quite a similar way that vaporizers work.

They do not burn the weed but instead turn the THC into a vapor for a more clean hit and more clean high.

Choosing a Pipe
Choosing the right piece for you is a matter of opinion. Glass pipes are easily breakable but provide the cleanest hit (besides vaporizer pipe) Metal pipes are made from aluminium and are generally "unbreakable" so if you are a clutz that is probably a good choice or the wooden pipe.

Smoking a Pipe

Smoking a pipe is quite simple once you get the hang of it. There are 2 ways to do this:
1. Use mouth muscles to bring smoke into mouth then into lungs
2. Inhale directly into the lungs

Either way will accomplish the same thing and the one that is right for you is whatever one you are more comfortable with

Steps for 1st technique:
1. pack bowl and place the mouthpiece to your lips.
2. place your finger over the carb hole if there is one
3. light a corner of the bowl and use the muscles in your mouth to bring the smoke into your mouth like a straw
4. Open mouth while inhaling through your mouth to bring the smoke from your lungs

The second technique is the same only you inhale directly into your lungs instead of using your mouth.
