Joints VS Bongs

Joints

I like big joints and I cannot lie! A joint to me is classic, straightforward, and will never go out of style.

Typically, a joint is filled with 0.5 to 1 gram of the good stuff. Between a few people this will let you enjoy the ride without overdoing it. If you are new to this you'll want to start with a maximum of one to two inhalations and then wait 10 minutes or so before the next, allowing you to gauge how the effects are affecting you.

If you’re alone don't feel obligated to finish the entire thing! For many first-timers and even seasoned smokers like me an entire joint is enough for you to enjoy over several sessions. You can keep your unfinished joints in a container for later.

Pros? They're discreet and disposable, and you can enjoy the pure taste of your strain. Perfect for on-the-go or sharing with friends.

Cons? Rolling a perfect joint is an acquired skill, and they can burn unevenly if not done right. Plus, the smoke can be a little harsher on your throat if you're using a simple paper filter. Opt in for charcoal filters, yo can get these wherever you buy your rolling papers.

The Art of Inhaling

First, draw into your mouth. Try to picture the smoke inside. Then, slowly, breathe in and gently introduce that smoke to your lungs. Hold it there for a moment. After a few seconds slowly and steadily breathe out. Warning you might cough a bit the first couple of times you try this out.

And hey, if your joint ends up looking a little droopy, no biggie. The great news is that rolling papers and paper filters are as budget-friendly as it gets, so going through a pack as you master your technique is an accepted part of the process.

Bongs 

Bongs, also known as water pipes, elevate the experience of cannabis consumption. Through the use of water as a cooling and filtering agent, bongs let you have a more intense experience with your flower.

The process of smoking from a bong is an absolute delight: you start by lighting the bowl that has your cannabis and drawing in air from the top of the mouthpiece, the smoke cascades down the stem, bubbling through the water before rising through the chamber, to meet you at the mouthpiece. From here breathe in and get ready for an intense hit of smoke.

The magic of bongs lies in their ability to use water to cool down the smoke before it gets to you, making each inhale less harsh on the throat and lungs as compared to smoking a joint or from a pipe.

Pros? Many find bongs more pleasant and potentially less irritating than smoking from a joint. They are also incredibly efficient, and deliver a more concentrated hit with less material. 

Cons ? For newbies, the intensity of a bong hit can be surprising, requiring a bit of acclimatization. It also might be hard to light and smoke your first bowl alone. Trying this for the first time can be best done with friends who also enjoy canna 👯‍♀️.

Bongs also require a bit of maintenance with regular cleaning needed to prevent buildup. Their size and sometimes delicate nature can make them less portable than a joint.

More Than a Bong

Bongs are celebrated for their aesthetics and the intricacy of their hand-blown pieces are as much art as utility. There's a bong to match every personality and preference. This extends to the materials used to make a bong—glass, acrylic, silicone, and even metal—each adding its own personality to the smoking experience.
