Smoking A Cone Properly

[friedricey]

Research has shown that the THC is absorbed the second it hits the lungs..a simple inhale/exhale is all that is needed(just like beathing oxygen)..all you are doing is damaging your lungs more...

 

Which was what put me off smoking buds in the first place. The bacco and childlish mentality of my peers around me made me believe that buds were bad for you - I can see how and what they smoked was damaging them.

 

The way I smoke a 'cone' or 'bowl' is to load up straight green bud that has been grounded up by a decent grinder that exposes the buds. I only grind what I will smoke in a day or two max. Then I use a hemp wick to burn the bowl from the edge and take micro hits until I finish the bowl. No race, just pure enjoyment of the buds. I use glass screens to hold the ash on the bowl and prevent it going into the water.

 

Slow inhale to build up smoke in the chamber then a straight flush inhale deep into the lungs to let the THC absorb in a larger surface area of the lungs. And then an almost immediate exhale after the inhale. I find the trick is to get it deep into the lungs. Holding it in longer than a few seconds will only damage your lungs and I can't bare to imagine holding bacco smoke...

i would'nt mind a $1- for all the cones i've pack'd in 25 years , i just pack it full n smoke it as long as it aint block'd

That's the way smashed... Mixed, not mixed, full rip, small tokes, whatever man...

 

 

So long as it gets in, you're doing it "properly"

I reckon there must be some residual THC left in the smoke, because, back in the days when I would run out of smoko, if there was one cone left in the bowl I would smoke it and then pass it on to my missus, mouth to mouth type situation.... there was another girl I used to hang out with who I've done the same thing to, both of them reckoned they got a buzz... Could be the placebo effect I suppose...

Yea mate..tons of thc left in the smoke puka!!! Mate you are on the money there!! No placebo effect..just a stoning effect ...Used to do it to the missus as well..when we breath in oxygen the lungs absorb around 20%.. the rest is exhaled..i am sure that canna smoke would be quite similar!!

Haave to suck all the ash through!

I disagree. All doing that does is risk losing unburnt weed...

 

I swear so many people out there smoke like peasants (not saying you do, but ive seen people smoke through milk bottles with scummy old water etc... ewwwwwww)

 

Heres how i do it:

Get a good quality bong... dont skimp, i have a ROOR personally, but any glass one is better than plastic or aluminium.

Clean water every session... In a big session, i change midway through just to keep it clean. I have a freind who even cleans and refreshes every 3 cones.

Pack a cone that you know you can take in one hit... dont overdo it, but the bigger the better

Hover the lighter over it while you toke gently to get the weed burning. Once its going, take away the lighter and breathe a bit harder to keep the weed burning, but be careful not to pull the weed through, or you just waste it.

If you have a Carb, now is the time to use it. Just let a measured amount of fresh air in, not so much you cant take the whole cone, but enough to smooth out the toke.

Once the weed is all burnt, hit with the lighter again, just to clear out any residdual weed (It should be white when it is all spent, but sometimes it stops at black)

Finally, when its stopped glowing again, pop the slide or shotty which clears the chamber.

Continue breathing in until your lung are full, this helps take all the smoke in your mouth and throat all the way to your lungs.

Hold for a few seconds (Not too long, your just giving yourself emphasema after a certain point) and exhale.

IMPORTANT: if you do need to cough, try as hard as you can to exhale and inhale first. I find coughing smoke is SOOOOO much rougher on the throat than coughing clean air.

 

Experiment with the speed of intake, carbing and hitting it with the lighter at different points of the toke... you will find the right pace for yourself.

Also, many people say that adding baccy helps it burn and makes the drag easier... Well it does make the drag easier, but thats because it kills the nerve endings in the back of your throat which is a big neg in my books. Personally, I never use baccy, but hey,its just my preference to avoid carcinogenic nuerotoxins ... If you like the baccy, its ok, im sure your still a nice person

Ive only been smoking for less than 2 years, but i can take a full party cone in one hit using this technique (often without even coughing afterwards.)

I can't disagree with that post DC, and anything I would say different would be trivial.

 

Overall good post. Would read again A++++++++++

 

9/10

This is what I would recommend as I think single hole cones are out of date.....

 

First of all I know this is not applicable to all (until you get you're own glass jointed bong that is =D).

 

So get yourself a disc screen slide, like the one pictured below....

next step, don't chop you're weed/mix whatever you're smoking into a fine powder like most people i smoke with like to do.

 

Then bang easier ripping cones, no wasted weed

Baby cones are the way for newbies or your pussy mates.
