Methods of use

Esteemed member
Hey, everybody!
I didn't find any main thread on how to use and so I thought I should create one, because there are always newcomers and I myself am still a newcomer in many ways.
In this thread I propose to describe your favorite ways and your experiments.

For example, my friend and I have found a gradation or difference in effects (I can't say for sure) depending on the method.
We came to the conclusion that the water pipe comes first, the bong comes second, and the pipe at the very end.
According to our feelings 1 water pipe = 2-3 bongs, and I'm not talking about the pipe at all.
We came to the conclusion that most likely it is connected with the speed of smoldering, and it should be said that our vodnik is “automatic”.

As a newbie I have a question about hashish, what ways of using it do you know? Are there any ways in which you don't need a cigarette?
 
To comment a little on the context of "Methods of use" ~

From a scientific lens, this is the study of pharmacokinetics, which studies how to put a drug into the body :)
From a cultural lens, the methods get very subtle and also include interactions with the emotional and spiritual realities, not only the 'material' as the scientific should have it.
From a practical lens, there are as many methods of administration, as there are places which can absorb drugs, or you can imagine. I'm sure we could make a massive list here xD


Hashish for instance, can be absorbed in various places of the body:
-in the mouth
-small intestine
-rectum
-lungs
-skin
-eyes
-subcutaneous
-intra muscular probably?
-nose
etc etc

For the lungs, you can smoke it, you can vape it, aerosolize it perhaps. You can take it all at once, in a huge hit of hashish spiked with THC, or you can take it gradually over hours or even days. You can take it as an isolate that is only THC, or full spectrum extract which includes a lot more of the plant's character. 'Methods of use' is its own entire art form, and if you are really passionate about hashish, you can really get into that! The same applies for any plant/psychedelic.

Sometimes a certain method of administration can be useful for bringing out the power of something, such as seen in herbal extractions that have been made more dense and concentrated, since a simple tea or such is unnoticeable or too weak! Other times, your molecules are delicate and can't survive being burned, so you choose a different method of administration.

Are there any ways in which you don't need a cigarette?
-If you have fresh leaves, you could simmer them in an oil and use that oil to make brownies! xD
-You can also vape cannabis extracts, which would protect your lungs more.

etc etc etc

Best wishes luv
 
Salutations,

I didn't find any main thread on how to use...

Until recently this was the only place where consumption method & associated ritual could fit:

Preparations and Methods of Administration - Other

So i must conclude you're actually quite privileged to initiate this present one. Bravo! 👏

In this thread I propose to describe your favorite ways and your experiments.

Good idea, cannabis users registered here certainly needed it for many years!!

We came to the conclusion that most likely it is connected with the speed of smoldering, and it should be said that our vodnik is “automatic”.

Hummm... There are two contextual elements i can gather from these hints: #1) you're smokers; #2) your paraphernalia market is slovenian. Please correct those assumptions if wrong. 🕵️‍♂️

...I have a question about hashish...

As an ex-smoker (& former hashich consumer myself) i can only regret not taking better advantage from « hot knives » after being initiated. But it was decades ago and all i cared about was the buzz, while the rest had very little importance except some quest to get « more with less ».

Below we can see my venerable « Tokeu », made of a hollow tube terminated by a flexible membrane on the right side which caused hashich smoke to stay inside until i started to inhale:
full

This proved being a major vilification vector but that felt convenient at the time, because before i had a habit of burning holes in my clothing and this saved a lot of T-shirts once adopted, not to mention i could relax horizontally and never mind for an ashtray... The trick with that was to inhale at intervals close enough to prevent extinction, at 1st, then i discovered i could benefit from such inconvenient by fractioning my "joint" consumption so to do more with less exactly.

Silly me, nobody cared to make me understand that i was actually sacrificing nearly half the noble molecules to fire simply to vaporize the other half. Moreover, i was even ruining the taste with secondary/tertiary combustion by-products, but i didn't care back then! So it stayed with me until the summer of 2007, when i decided to quit smoking definitely to never look back again.

A few years passed thinking i'd never enjoy cannabis again but Providence permitted that i became aware of vaporism after investigating the e-Cig market with an altruist intention to offer one of those new electronic cigarettes as gift to another smoker. This was a revelation, an epiphany! My vaporist initiation occurred the next day after St-Valentin of 2011 using an HerbalAire, which is a canadian device. That thing worked best with dry flowers and just the smell from golden goo rising inside its vertical teflon tube gave me psycho-somatic effects... I was blissed!! Yet a couple more years were necessary for me to gather the basics of vaporism, after that one could say i got seriously involved, for example with this experiment trying to decide which of cold/warm and dry/moist "vapour" i might like better:

FogBong! (2024-Sep-17)​

Lets just say i got blissed again, so much this convinced me i had to adapt the VaporGenie pipe because of its self-generated moisturization in a portable format (from clean-burning butane)... As a result another series of experiments took place which i tried to keep on-line since the spring of 2013, including here:

Semi-DiY Pulse-Heating transformation (based on VaporGenie Classic/Bronze Sherlock) [2019-May-19]​

Are there any ways in which you don't need a cigarette?

Yes, more than one. Here's what i was going to purchase before i changed my mind in favour of the HerbalAire, but this is still about vaporism:

The glass adapter no longer exists, as for the Heat Gun i recall one major motive to get that specific brand/model used to be about airflow speed which could be set to 3.6 cfm... But my local reseller sent an e-mail raising his pricetag so much i abandoned that plan definitely, the year was 2010.

Today my perspective differs radically as it begins with the origin of our common challenge instead of its finality (the buzz):
full

On my way to emancipation i also learned to appreciate dame Nature's most precious gift, which is a type of beauty revealed under the microscope that works similarily to an encrypted key. Tampering with it as indu$trial$ do typically results in visible VILIFICATION, so i came to adopt this simple slogan as my favourite vaporist rule: to « follow the shortest path of lesser transformation »... Which means hashich is no longer a desirable option to me, especially now that our so-called "legal" state MONOPOLY the SQdC (a "filiale" of the SAQ serving our alcohol market, another monopoly...) restricted access to concentrates actually made of something else to a level of 70 %! In other words the new "dealer" is worse and i can't pretend our dry flowers are much better, but at least the lack of respect and excess of greed are easier to evaluate at 100 X magnification than hashich quality. YMMV!

Good day, have fun!! ☮️

Shampoo bottle bongs. They look real hillbilly, of course, but when they get dirty you just put the stem in a new shampoo bottle and throw the dirty one away.
I consider myself a hippybilly anyway.
 
I've always liked ingesting THC.

Get a taller height than diameter pot, if available (just minimizes the interface surface in the later separation stage).

Fill half with water.
Add a couple of sticks of butter.
Bring to a boil.
Add plant material.
Boil for a couple of hours, let the THC dissolve into the fat.
Let cool.
Put cooking pot in fridge overnight.

Wake up. Remove hardened butter from pot.
Scrape plant material from the interface side of butter.
Use some butter to fry eggs. Eat.
Use the rest of butter for your favorite cake.
Enjoy the rest of the morning while waiting for cake to be ready.

It takes ~45min to kick in, so don't eat half the cake because you're hungry and it tastes so good. Or you'll be in for a different day. BTDT, multiple times. I'm stubborn that way.

Thank you for such a great and informative reply!
About my attributes, I can say that as soon as I enter any game, I try to get the maximum benefit and study all possible ways to play. That's why I wanted to create such a topic and find out what ways exist, because, as they say, “How many people, so many opinions”.
I know people who use a glass container with a tap (existing for cool drinks at the summer table) and a cap.
I'm sure there are people on this forum with the most inventive ideas and I'd love to hear them all.

Assuming my intuition about Estonia was correct i searched a bit via Google and learned the law is quite restrictive, like no more than 0.3% THC and only 7.5 grams of dried cannabis maximum - CBD genetics i presume... The highest concentration of HeadShops seems to be located in Tallinn city and mostly serving a smokers market; as for concentrates i found mention of moroccan hashich "pollen" with 28 % CBD, 1 % CBG and <0.2% THC. So, good luck buzzing on that!!

Relatively to alternative consumption methods involving glass and some embryo of a dosing concept it appears the « PumpGun », reminescent of the gravity bong, may prove to be popular enough to find it locally within the nation's borders. If not you may find this home-made "DiY" variant of shampoo bottle bongs sufficiently attractive to give it a try:

The Amazing Vapor Lung (2013-Apr-28)​

Compatible with smoking.

🚬

Who knows, one might also get lucky and find devices which look like crack pipes - i wish you luck with that too!

;)
 
I won't say you're wrong, but don't ignore the fact that I'm just very inquisitive and have quite a few friends and contacts~
Anyway, I'm in no hurry to reveal personal information, ahahahahahaha.
I prefer to remain anonymous!

I know about the bottle method, I even think this method is a classic one for many people.

Якщо ви дійсно маєте доступ до цікавих ресурсів, то я роблю висновок, що європейський ринок для вас не закритий, що значно збільшує можливості. Залишається побачити, чи ви віддаєте перевагу обмежитися курильними виробами, чи, навпаки, включити випаровування, чи навіть здійснити перехід до переходу, який заощадить вам багато грошей у довгостроковій перспективі на додаток до сприяння більшому споживанню здоровий стиль.

На жаль, посилання на апаратне забезпечення, яке може бути сприйняте як розміщення продукту, може суперечити нормам, оскільки СПАМ є небажаним. Я мав на увазі принаймні 2 приклади приблизно п’ятнадцяти років тому, але після перевірки ці продукти все ще існують...

Зважаючи на те, що ви, здавалося, відчуваєте слабкість до гашишу, я б запропонував метод, заснований переважно на кондуктивному та радіаційному нагріванні з додаванням конвекції, оскільки щойно відбулося оновлення, і воно походить з Європи! Якщо, навпаки, ви бажаєте продовжувати палити, на думку приходять інші, хоча й з північноамериканського джерела. У всіх випадках необхідність залишатися невизначеним суттєво обмежує зміст дискусій.

Я можу принаймні запитати, яке скло чи метал вам більше підійдуть як основний матеріал.
 
Privet, tavarishi. I stopped smoking weed almost five years ago after switching to a firefly dry herb vaporizer, which has served me well. Due to my low tolerance/high sensitivity to THC, I like to make a mini blend for each bowl composed of 1/3 CBD hemp flower, 1/3 CBG hemp flower, and 1/3 cannabis flower (1/2 sativa dominant strain and 1/2 sativa leaning hybrid). One or two hits at a time of this blend is plenty for me, at this point.
