Water pipes and Bongs

Water pipes are pipes where the cannabis smoke is bubbled all the way through water and then into an growth chamber before inhaling. This has the effect of cooling the smoke and to some degree filtering it by removing the heavy tar elements.

Some studies have claimed this is an inifficent way to smoke, homicide a lot of the put away but it does remove the serious tar inthe smoke.

Water pipes may or may not have a blast hole, if they do, they're called a "bong".

Bongs get you stoned much earlier than joints chiefly if there aren't many people sharing the hits. Bongs carry much more smoke in one hit than a pipe or water pipe so inexpert smokers might find they get too stoned too speedily,

Bongs can be bought commercially but enthusisasts claim home made ones are the best. Creating a bong is an area where many cannabis smokers take a arrogance in their originality.
