World Of Weed

Roor is a German manufacturer of glass pipes and bongs, together with accessories such as glass ashtrays and even clothing. Their pipes have a reputation for high quality that is unmatched anywhere else, though some users complain that their products are overpriced.  Roor was founded in the 1980s by German glass blower Martin Birzle, and now has factories all over the world.  The name is a pun on the words ‘micROORganism’ and ‘rohr’, the German word for pipe.

Unfortunately, the company’s reputation for quality has led to fakes coming on the market.  A few telltale signs of a fake include the ® symbol being in the wrong place (it should be at the bottom right of the logo), more or fewer than three ice pinches, and missing splashguards.  Always make sure you buy your Roor pipes from an authorised dealer, to save you the time and trouble of having to examine the pipe in order to try to determine whether it is real or not. Fakes are often made of cheap lightweight glass and break much more easily than the real thing, but are still sold at the same price as a real Roor pipe.  Be aware to avoid being ripped off.

The Range

Water pipes come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and many suppliers of Roor Pipes offer an impressive range of choices depending on personal preferences.

For example, Roor classic equipment is available as two-piece or three-piece water pipes, and there is a mini-version, which is also two-piece, and there is even a pocket-sized one. The Rasta Steam Roller range offers four sizes: large, medium, small and mini. The thinnest pipes have walls two millimetres thick, and the range increases up to a maximum of seven millimetres thick. Unsurprisingly, thicker pipes use more glass and are stronger, and therefore more expensive to make.

Quality Design

These are sturdy pipes blown by hand to provide minimalist contours and sharp, uncluttered lines in a variety of contemporary designs. The fine glass that is used is a mixture of silica and boric oxide, and the pipes are shaped at extremely high temperatures, making them stronger than some others.

The base is shaped like a saucer or flattened bowl, between three and four inches across, which provides stability and is a popular feature of the Roor range as it allows for safe storage and secure use.

Instead of the usual metal gauzes, Roor Pipes have added gauzes made of glass, with the aim of improving and enhancing the cleanliness and the flavour of the experience. Of course, the importance of keeping equipment clean and using it correctly will also make a considerable difference.

Legal highs are drugs that have an effect on the brain and body, but which are not declared illegal by the UK government. These substances often have similar effects to illegal drugs, but they have either not yet been classified as prohibited or are deemed safe enough to be used by the general public.

Drugs that are used for recreational purposes and that are legal in the UK are often unknown to the public or misunderstood. There are different ways of branding legal substances, for example herbal highs, legal recreational drugs and happy pills.

Legal recreational drugs are often dangerous and the effects unknown, as many of them, often derived from plants, can be stronger and less predictable than the highly researched and better known illegal drugs. It is always a good idea to research the legal high you hope to use before taking it; you should also seek medical advice.

The most common and best-known legal highs are alcohol, tobacco and caffeine. A large proportion of the world’s population uses one or all of these substances. There are lots of other legal highs, some of which may be used in everyday life in different cultures, but not all of them are legal in the UK.

Legal high devices can be found on the internet, including Roor Pipes and novelty and spinning ashtrays.

Many websites sell certain substances declaring that they are for research purposes only or not for human consumption, because it is illegal for them to sell them any other way. Make sure that you check this thoroughly before buying supposed legal highs from such websites.

One way of smoking legal herbs is through a chillum, which is a traditional pipe often made of clay, wood or soapstone. A key component of the chillum is the filtration stone, which allows the user to smoke legal herbs and tobacco without the substances falling into their mouth. The device has a historical and cultural background and is said to originate in India or South America, where it was used for spiritual purposes.

How to Use a Chillum

•    Dry your chosen herb or tobacco until it is crumbly and using your hands or a pestle and mortar, grind it into a powder.

•    Transfer the powder to the bowl of the chillum, which should have a small stone to hold the powder in place.

•    Put a filter over the mouthpiece and heat the powdered herb so that it starts to smoke.

•    Carefully inhale the smoke coming from the mouthpiece, ensuring that your mouth does not touch the chillum, as it gets very hot.

•    Take long deep breaths and enjoy your legal high.

It is essential that you keep your chillum clean and maintained, as this could affect the quality of your experience. Also, ensure that the stone that keeps the herbs in place is cleaned regularly or you could be breathing in the burnt remains of your last high. Keep a glass ashtray handy to hold all the debris.

There are many ways of enjoying legal highs and there are also plenty of accessories and devices available to help you do it.

Shish Pipes

These pipes, also known as hookah pipes, water pipes and bongs, have been used for centuries and are still popular around the world, today. It is possible to buy fruit and spice flavoured tobacco, in many forms, from websites and specialist shops. The tobacco smoked in shish or hookah pipes is still as strong as in cigarettes and since a typical “shish session” lasts around forty minutes, users inhale an unhealthy amount of smoke.

Roll-ups and Smoking

Along with rolling your own cigarettes, other types of legal highs can also be smoked and there are plenty of devices to help create the perfect roll-up; Rizla rolling machines make this very simple. There are lots of different types of legal highs that you can smoke, including Salvia, synthetic chemicals made into a smoking blend and tobacco. Many types of ashtrays are available to provide the smoker with the perfect cleaning accessory, including spinning ashtrays and glass ashtrays. As with all legal highs, be sure to check what effect they are likely to have and take special care when using them for the first time.

Pills

Many pills on legal high websites are described as not intended for human consumption. This means they are banned under current legislation, but have not been made illegal under the Misuse of Drugs Act. However many of them mimic illegal drugs, so while it is possible to find your perfect high, ensure you are aware of the side-effects.
