Self-improvement in pot-smoking isn’t necessarily something marijuana users think about, but at HIGH TIMES, we think it’s pretty important. That’s why we’ve been thinking about ways in which our readers can become even better potheads in 2015.
Read on to learn about habits you can adopt to get more potent hits, conserve your stash, get more enjoyment out of weed, and bolster the effort to legalize marijuana once and for all.
1. Stop being wasteful: Share the smoke with your significant other
Weed is damn expensive, so we should always be maximizing the potent effects of our pricey greenery. The way it’s done in the McBlunts household is that smoke from big hits gets blown back and forth between me and my S.O. That way, we don’t burn through our stash as fast, and we have extra cash available for primo munchies (or to upgrade my embarrassing wardrobe). Who doesn’t love smoky smooches in the name of savings?
2. Clean your glass once a month
Sure, your resinated glass pipes look super-cool with all the color filled in, but did you know that you’re probably burning through way more weed to achieve the same high as you’d get from a crystal-clear bowl? Make it a point to clean your glassware once a month, or whenever it starts to get gunky and black with resin. A secret to getting it squeaky clean? Rubbing alcohol.
Soak pipes in rubbing alcohol for at least 20 minutes, and more if your glass is especially caked up. Then, thoroughly rinse under hot water and wipe clean with a rag or paper towels. Use cotton swabs, pipe cleaners, and other supplies to get in hard-to-clean places.
Then, enjoy the unparalleled potency of a hit from a perfectly clean pipe, and realize you can no longer live a life that includes dirty, wasteful glass.
3. Always make it social
Smoking (or vaping) is an inherently social activity, at least that’s how it should be. When you spend too much time getting high alone, it has the potential to get, well, lonely. Let 2015 be the year that blazing solo becomes less of the norm, and start making a point to bulk up your cyphers by hollering at a few of your fellow smokers before sparking up that L you planned on doming.
