Different Tools for Recreational Highs
Bongs are tools used to smoke tobacco, alternatives to tobacco, and other herbs; they function by allowing the smoke of those leaves to cool down by passing through water (or any other liquid) before it is inhaled. As such, there are many who believe that the use of bongs is not quite as dangerous to one’s health as roll-ups like cigars and cigarettes, and pipes. The fact that the bong has become the popular means of enjoying smoking has spawned a number of bong varieties, which may be bought in stores or (if one is so inclined) made at home.
Among the bongs that are being sold commercially, acrylic bongs are popular, mainly because they are affordable, easy to clean, difficult to break, and (in general) more interesting to look at. When compared to other popular commercial bongs such as glass bongs, acrylic bongs are said to be more economical despite the fact that glass bongs “give better pulls”.
Favoured among the homemade bongs is the bottle bong, which is crafted from a bottle, a 12-centimetre hose, and any metal cone-shaped attachment or sculpted aluminium foil. The size of the bottle can vary, but normally a one-litre bottle is used for this makeshift bong.
Despite the popularity of this tool for recreational highs, there are still many who believe that blunts (cigar papers in which smoking material is rolled) are a better means of truly enjoying cannabis. Blunts, bongs, and other makeshift tools are essential to the enjoyment of recreational highs.
