I was somewhat interested in seeing a 150 year old bong, but since ganja is fairly hard to get for me (except for the other day), I usually stick to small bowls, one-hitters and bats since they're much more efficient.

If it were more plentiful, I'd probably never smoke it and instead eat it.

And since I'm not 20 years old anymore, I don't really care that my bong is broken.

Filthy Bgnome.

I read an somewhere that in South America, the drug lords look down on the indigenous population for chewing coca leaves while the indigenous feel the same way about how other types of people shoving powder up their nose.

But I think mixing tobacco with pot is something any civilized people would consider wrong.

In Colorado?! Methinks you're not applying yourself. Or you live more than 400 miles from Boulder, or Denver, or any other snowboard bum/collegeish town.

I'm probably not applying myself well. After all, pot is a demotivator isn't it? I can't get a steady supply of pot because I'm a pothead.

And you know what really annoys me? People who can't farking shut the gate when they leave your home. Dumbass - it was shut when you came in, shut it after you go through the gate. Motherfarkers. I should beat them with sticks and throw rocks at them as they leave. I just need to remind them to tell me that they're such asshats before they leave.

You could get medical and just grow your own, then you wouldn't need to worry about your dealer leaving your gate open-

In bongs I agree, tobacco is completely pointless. In joints though it makes it a lot less harsh and it burns better, which aren't exactly problems with bongs.

@mudshark,

To each their own, but I was really just trying to be snarky ;)
In any case. I don't smoke a lot of the green stuff, maybe twice a month for the general aches and pains. And, the stuff I get tends to be gifted to me. Usually a craft brew trade out kind of thing.
If it's consilation, the rolling tobacco is of a fine aromatic grade, and they're rolled useing a vintage rizla machine.
I just find it more relaxing for myself to kick back with a ciggerette, than to get blasted and go into big caughing jag

vap.

my roommate and i got a silver surfer about two months ago...way less (basically zero) irritation and way more efficient use of the pot.

worth the money, IMHO.

The problem with bongs is sooner than later, someone is going to break your bowl or the stem. It's inevitable.

Buy the Ticket: You could get medical and just grow your own, then you wouldn't need to worry about your dealer leaving your gate open-

That's a great reply. Apropos-ly enough, it was "my dealer" who left the gate open. In fact it was the delivery person from a local liquor store (I decided I wanted more beer, but I figured I was to drunk to drive so I paid out the ass for a 12-pack to be delivered - cheap compared to a DUI).

I drink way more beer than I smoke pot (I'd probably be healthier if the situation were reversed).

As for going medical, I actually have been meaning to look into the law to see exactly what I can get away with. I'm not in California so I can't just run to a Quack-in-a-Box to get a card, but I might be able to become a supplier and Obama has promised that the DEA won't bust me if I am complying with state medical marijuana law. (Quite frankly, I'm relying more on I would be so small-time that I wouldn't be worthy of federal attention rather than Obama's word though).

There was a case here where the city had to return pot plants (and a broken bong) to a couple who were charged with growing. They had permits, but apparently there was some small problem with them, but they were not convicted. And just recently a nearby town's cops raided a place for selling weed to an undercover cop, BUT since the owner of the house had his paperwork in order they did not seize the marijuana growing in his basement.

There was also an ad in a local rag from a business looking for patients to supply. So I would have competition - so what? I'm not so compassionate that I would really care if I had patients or not. I'm happy to help those who need it, but if I can't find anyone in need I may have to dispose of the stuff myself. I would burn it in small fires in small glass pipes

I smoke a carton a week, so even though I don't mix tobacco with weed directly I do so inderectly - so I really shouldn't be harping on this subject.

I can't roll a decent joint without a lot of effort either and I haven't been amazed at anyone's joint rolling skills since I was in college and my roommate rolled one while driving, but.....oh never mind - suffice it to say I saw the perfect joint a couple of days ago and I was wrecked after only smoking half of it with someone else. (I wasn't literally wrecked though - I was driving and I didn't want to do anything besides find a nice place to park - which I finally did).

 
Architecture Of Aggression 2009-05-31 02:58:03 PM  
Hey mud, it's BECAUSE you're not 20 that you own a broken bong. motivation for potheads comes from not having stuff to smoke out of...get to it! lol

 
PfizerX 2009-05-31 03:09:33 PM  
At the big shopping mall near my house when I was a kid, there was a store called "China Goods" that was run by this horribly disgusting and mean Chinese woman. They sold all kinds of trinkets like knives, swords, Bruce Lee paintings, and bikini chick posters, all the kinds of things that younger caucasian kids dream of. In the back of the store they had a huge assortment of bongs, and as I grew older lets just say that my interest in the bongs grew while my interest in lighters that looked like dragons waned. Anyway, if you wanted to see the bongs, you had to ask the smelly old whore (who always seemed to have corn on her face) behind the counter and she would unlock the glass so you could check them out. I made the huge mistake of one day politely asking: "Hello Ma'am, I was wondering if you could open the case in back so I could look at the bongs?" to which she replied: *Hair turns to snakes and flames shoot from her eyes and burn my face off* "THEY NO BONGS THEY WATER PIPE, YOU GET OUT! BLAAAAAAAAA!". I ran away and they gave me a cup of cocoa at the Banana Republic and told me everything was going to be alright.

Irony: The store was closed down a few months later because her grandson was arrested for selling drugs out of the back.
