Introduction
Smoking can be a great way to relax, relieve stress, and even help with certain medical conditions. But if you’re new to the smoking game, it can be intimidating to figure out how to light up. Don’t worry – we’ve got your back! This article will walk you through the basics of lighting up with a joint, taking a rip from a pipe or bong, and even some tips for getting the best flavor and hit.
Lighting A Joint
The first thing you need is a joint. Basically, marijuana is rolled up into a cigarette-like shape that can be lit and smoked. To light a joint, you’ll need something to act as an ignition source, such as matches or a lighter. Ensure there is no wind when lighting your joint – otherwise, it may get blown out before you take your first puff. Once you have everything ready, hold the joint between your thumb and index finger so that the open end faces away from you. Then light the end of the joint and slowly inhale while rotating it so that all parts are evenly burning (this will give you the best flavor). Once it’s properly lit, enjoy!
Taking Your First Hit Off A Pipe Or Bong
If joints aren’t your style, don’t worry – pipes and bongs are also great ways to enjoy marijuana. Pipes come in all shapes and sizes, but they all work the same way. You fill them with ground-up marijuana buds or shake then place them in one hand while using another hand to ignite the bowl piece at the top of the pipe. Once lit, inhale through the mouthpiece until enough smoke has filled up the pipe. Inhale again until all of that smoke has been taken in. With bongs, you do the same; however, bongs have a water chamber for extra filtration before being inhaled by users.
Hitting A Bong
Hitting from a bong is a more elaborate process that requires more effort. A bong also produces a rewarding experience, possibly better due to its filtering capabilities that pass the smoke through the water chamber before inhalation. Fill up with cold water about halfway; avoid overfilling to prevent water from getting into your lungs which would not be good! Pack some ground-up bud into the bowl piece at the top of the bong. Light the way you would light a pipe or a joint. Then, press down the stem below the bowl piece while simultaneously inhaling until the desired amount of smoke has been reached; release the stem once finished & exhale. Finally, remember to always clean your bong after each use! This will ensure optimal performance & keep those hits tasting delicious every time 🙂
Conclusion:
Whether it’s rolling up a joint or packing down some bud into your favorite piece (pipe/bong), smoking is an art form in itself that requires patience & knowledge beforehand for the smoker(s) to get the most out of their experience without any adverse affecting the process-so make sure study up on what works best for yourself & others before engaging any type activity involving inhalation/exhalation 😉 Thanks for reading our beginner’s guide on lighting up & we hope you enjoyed learning about different ways to enjoy cannabis responsibly today! Until next time…happy smoking, everyone!
