How To Use A Pipe For Smoking Weed

For some, smoking a bowl is the only way to get high. And for others, it's one of many ways. If you're looking to expand your repertoire of marijuana-smoking options and explore how to use a pipe for smoking weed, this guide will get you started.

 

Set up your pipe.

To get started, you're going to need a pipe. This can be any sort of glass or metal tube that's been bent into an "L" shape. The smaller end is the side you should inhale through, and the larger end is called the bowl (or sometimes just a slot) where the tobacco or marijuana is placed.

You'll also need something to keep your weed from falling out of your pipe while you're smoking it—this will be your screen, which doubles as a filter for ash. The most common types are stainless steel screens that come pre-cut in different sizes; they look like small pieces of metal mesh that fit into the bowl of your pipe. A clean cloth will also work as an improvised version of this type as well; just ball up some fabric like cotton balls and stuff them into your bowl when it comes time to smoke up! (This can be good if you don't have any spare screens lying around.) Make sure there's enough room left over at either end so the smoke has somewhere else besides directly passing through onto your fingers.

Pack your bowl.

Your pipe bowl is the place where you put your weed, so it's important to make sure it's packed correctly. Here are a few steps:

Step 1: Remove any stems or seeds from the weed and grind up the weed until it's coarsely ground (but not too much). Grinding your weed will help it burn more evenly, so each hit you take has the same intensity of flavor and effect.

Step 2: Fill the bowl with your ground-up weed. To do this, use a pipe tool (or another item like a pen or paper clip) to gently push the weed into a cylindrical shape. This will ensure that it burns evenly and quickly enough for you to get high. Don't overfill it or you'll have problems getting everything lit.

Spark up and inhale.

Once everything is packed into place, carefully light the tip of your joint with a lighter until all sides turn orange or red;

Then, with your pipe lit, inhale through the tube and then exhale through your mouth. Make sure to not inhale too much smoke at a time, because this can cause dizziness or nausea in some people. You should also avoid holding the smoke in your lungs for more than a few seconds, as it can cause irritation.

Finally, be sure not to blow out too quickly—while this will help clear away any remaining smoke from the chamber of your pipe and make it easier to see what's going on inside (which may be helpful if you're trying to figure out why there's no smoke coming out), it also means that less weed gets burned by heating up with each puff you take!

Clear the chamber.

You’ll want to clear the chamber of your pipe before you light it up. There are a few ways you can do this, and they all involve using something small like a paperclip or toothpick.

You can also use a pipe cleaner if you have one handy. If not, consider using one of these:

• A pen

• A straw (no plastic) with either a paperclip or toothpick inserted at the end
