But whether you're a weed genius, a weed novice, or somewhere in between (like myself), there are certain pot hacks that are simple enough for any smoker to take advantage of. If you're a marijuana enthusiast, then you already know there's a vast wealth of weed wisdom out there to aid you with even the most ridiculous of pot-related problems. Grinders go missing, pipes break, cotton mouth will always try to wreck your make-out sessions, and lighters that were accounted for while you were grinding, packing, and/or rolling always seem to vanish the second you're ready to take that first puff.įortunately, though, despite the numerous stereotypes that would suggest otherwise, stoners can be pretty dang resourceful, (especially about their bud) so there are a lot of cool weed hacks that can make your whole high experience much simpler and even more enjoyable. Wrap a dryer sheet over the end of a toilet paper tube and secure with a rubber band, then exhale smoke through it to mask any odors and keep your sesh discreet.As fun as smoking weed can be, every frequent stoner knows that getting high isn't always as simple as we would like it to be. Steer clear of using unnatural adhesives like tape near the bowl piece some varieties can release chemicals when heated. Sticky peanut butter can also work as a temporary seal in pieces that aren’t airtight same goes for soft, sticky candy, like Airheads or Starbursts. If you’re in a real pinch, gum (with all the sugar chewed out of it) can be a godsend. When inserting a bowl piece (pre-fabricated or not) into a plastic bottle, melt the bottle with your lighter before poking the hole – this can help create an airtight seal with the downstem. This piece is the handiest if you’re going to include a pre-made element in your smoking device. If you’re going to cheat, use a pre-fabricated bowl.That said, small fruits such as strawberries work well as bowl pieces or as personal one-hitters. Keep in mind how things like bananas will react to the heat from your lighter, too (spoiler alert: they’re gonna get brown). What bananas, oranges and the like offer in flavor, they lack in cleanliness, particularly if you’re passing the piece around a smoke circle. Steer clear of juicy or mushy produce.Toothpicks can create a makeshift screen on a fruit pipe. Aluminum foil is convenient for connecting disparate elements of your homemade device just don’t use it as the bowl piece, since heat from your lighter can cause oxidation and the release of harmful chemicals. Certain materials are always handy. A pen with the ink removed is great for making holes in fruit pieces and/or to use as a downstem.Lacking inspiration? Get seasonal! Think pumpkin bongs in the fall, watermelon bongs in the summer – the sky’s the limit. Gather as many supplies as possible. Constructing a homemade smoking device can take a few tries (particularly if you’ve already indulged).And a bonus of an apple pipe is that you can eat the outside of the apple afterward to cure cottonmouth. They work well because they hold their shape during the construction and consumption processes carrots, for example, are sturdy enough to carve a bowl into to create a steamroller. Hall-of-famers include apples, carrots, bell peppers, and water bottles. Sturdy produce and plastic containers are good bets.
