Smoking cannabis is one of the best ways to enjoy the herb’s benefits. Using a pipe is an easy, convenient, and effective method for smoking a good amount of cannabis in a single session. To get the most out of the experience, there are a couple of techniques to keep in mind.
The first and most important part is prepping the cannabis. Start by breaking it up into smaller chunks; an herb grinder often comes in handy for this. Bigger pieces of cannabis won’t burn as evenly and can lead to a harsher hit. For the most flavorful and enjoyable experience, you want your cannabis to be ground to a mix of both fine and coarse grinds.
The next step is packing the pipe. There are a few different approaches here, with the “shuffle pack” method the most popular. Start by filling the bowl with ground cannabis, followed by gently pressing it down into place with your finger. Be careful not to pack it too tightly, or else the airflow will be blocked and the smoke will taste harsh and unpleasant. Then, sprinkle some finer grinds on top, and lightly press them down. The idea here is to create an even resistance throughout the entire bowl, so that the cannabis will burn slowly and evenly.
As for whether you should use a screen or not, it comes down to your preference. A screen will keep any loose bits of cannabis from falling into the pipe and clogging it up. But if you don’t have a screen, you should be fine as long as you’re using the correct grind and packing method.
Now it’s time to light up! Placing your lips on the mouthpiece, take a slow and steady draw on the pipe. You want to keep the flame an appropriate distance away; if it’s too close, the smoke may be too hot. And if it’s too far away, it won’t light up correctly. Once you get things going, keep in mind that you won’t be inhaling the smoke deeply. A shallow draw is all you need to get the desired effect.
Finally, remember to take a few relief draws between hits to allow the pipe to cool down. If you’re passing the pipe around, make sure the next person waits at least a few seconds before taking their hit.
Using a pipe for smoking cannabis is a great way to experience the herb’s effects. With the right techniques, you can get the most out of your smoking session. So light up, sit back, and enjoy!
