Those who partake...

[Jermys]

lilafowler, Que?, etc. Do you smoke, use a vaporizer, water pipe, or consume edibles? I'm doing a little research.

I have zero first hand knowledge but I hear vaporizer is all the rage.

I always smoked back in the day, but the vaporizer is intriguing.  

[karmasabiotch]

Haven't in a long time but I always did it the old fashioned way. I wouldn't even know how to keep up with current trends. I would love to learn.

[MrsPenny]

I'm not smoking now because I'm pregnant but before I got this way I would usually just smoke from a glass pipe. Then a friend introduced me to a vaporizer and I loved it - it didn't leave that burning feeling in my throat that smoking from the pipe did.

[blueballoon]

Bong, and sometimes vaporizer.

[cinnamoncox]

Hypothetically? I've found the vaporizer and ingesting it to be a very different feeling than when smoking. All good things (lol) but different.
First choice would hypothetically be a glass pipe. Second would be vape. Third would be ingesting but that's because it seems to waste/use up more than necessary.

[kwx2]

We vape. Both of us. It got us off smoking a year ago in May. And no harmful chemicals in the air and no nasty smell on anything anymore. Love it, and all the flavors!

[studytime45]

Vaporizer. Or just plain old smoking. The vaporizer is great, though.

[lilafowler]

Glass, I roll one on special occasions. I recently vaped for the first time and LOVED it. Now I want to buy one. No smoke and the TASTE is sooo good (I love the smell and taste of green).  I will admit I felt weird at first because I wasn't getting a "hit" like you normally expect.  Once I got the hang of it though...and it's less smelly than smoking.  I mean it still smells, but not as much.

I'm going to buy a vaporizer and report back to all of you! :-P

[Bernadine]

Xh had a vaporizer that I really enjoyed.

For me personally, I'd probably get a little one-hitter.

Vaporizer or pipe. Maybe twice a year I'll make a batch of something edible.

[laceylaplante]

I smoke it, preferably out of a glass pipe or water pipe. I broke my glass pipe a while back, have not replaced it, so I use a metal pipe, for now. For as big a pot lover as I am, I'm awful at rolling, so joint or blunts are out unless someone just gives me one (happens a lot while bartending, as a tip).

I would love to buy a vaporizer, however they are costly. I've never used one before, but it is intriguing.

I have never made edibles because you need a lot of weed to do it right and I'm too chicken shit/cheap to risk messing up.

The vaporizer should be the preferred method to avoid the actual smoke which still increases risk for lung cancer. There's not a lot of research on the vaporizers but it's the best alternative. Usually they were a hassle because if the size and the set up, etc. But now they are selling some small portable ones. Not as small as an e-cig but something that looks like a case for reading glasses.

*steps down from soap box*

I used to have a cute glass bowl, but my ex hated smoking so he made me get rid of it. Now it's so infrequent that I just roll a j. I still miss that bowl.

My great-grandma left me a copper bowl from the early 1900s. Her and my great-grandpa liked to party, haha. It's random because my grandparents are super uptight. I've never used that one, though.

[alzi]

I have the most beautiful bubbler. I need to find someone to pass it on to because he is to pretty to just sit there.

I always preferred glass pieces.

[Knight]

The marijuana e-cig is probably coming before too long so I think that will be my preferred method when they legalize it. Back in the day I smoked with a little glass bowl.

[cinnamoncox]

This is probably flameful, but I never understood a one hitter. It's a major hassle to refill hit after hit.
Or is the point to really just take one hit?!

[laceylaplante]

This post is making me want to find someone to sit with my kids so I can go to the head shop and get a glass bowl. It's also making me frustrated that I've only got some shake left in my stash. Boo.

There are a few that look kind of like asthma inhalers-lol!

If you get quality bud, one hit is fine, plus most one hitters you actually get a couple of hits. As long as you don't rip it.

Vaporizer, they're actually not crazy expensive. I got one on ebay for around $100 I think (it was a few years ago). I miss it

[ECB]

Man. I wish it were legal and I wish I had friends who partaked (partook?). I always enjoyed it.

BTW- how is it that the word "partake" goes hand in hand w/ this?

[karmasabiotch]

My pipe is the same one I had when I was 16. I imagine they have improved them in in almost 30 years?

I dunno, but I knew those in the know would know to come in and answer

I was looking at vaporizers last night and found some that aren't terribly expensive.  But they also look kind of confusing.  Maybe they won't in person.  I always preferred a water pipe/bong or a glass pipe.  I don't like the taste of papers.  I've been known to make a pipe out of a Diet Coke can when I'm in a bind though.

We were so confused when we got ours and started unpacking everything.  We found a couple youtube videos on how to actually use it so that was helpful (instructional youtube videos by stoners are also hilarious). 

[justcallmekhaleesi]

Normally a vaporizer, but I ran out of screens recently, so I've had to go back to using a glass pipe.

I'm saving up for a Volcano.

It usually takes me a few hits to clear mine. I have tiny lungs lol. Also it's really not a hassle, IMO it's easier than packing a bowl. I just dip the end of it in the shake, and boom. Packed and ready.

[Waffles]

I don't partake but this seems the right place to say that H and I got the worse munchies in the world when in Amsterdam a few years ago. Problem was, the only food we had available (it was really late & everything was closed) was another space cake. After much debating, we ate it.

We were in front of the breakfast place drooling before it even opened the next morning. Biggest breakfast I ever had.

[SugarKane]

Lurker here, we use a vaporizer. It only cost $35 for the cartridge and the vap and we've had it since January and it's still half full. I love the high you get from it. A few weeks ago we bought acouple of joints before a moms night out. I'm in CO btw

[Deleted]

I don't know if it is actually called a vaporizer, but on the rare weekend when I join DH we smoke out of a black thing with oil in it that looks like an ecigarette. No scent. Very clean high.

I detest edibles because they get me too high, but if won't smoke from a pipe anymore - I am too old for that shit - so edibles are my second choice.
