Smoke with Streep...for cheap!

I was so confused when I went to the first recreational store. They actually got really upset after I bought a bag that I started breaking up the weed and asked if they wanted to "match bowls," but I mean, that's just standard practice with buying pot, right? right??

Thanks to this post I just went down the rabbit hole of MaryLovesGlass videos and I absolutely adore this woman.

(And holy cow yeah, I see the Streep resemblance!)

These are amusing fun. But these people are amateurs.

As someone who has smoked regularly for decades I've gone through a lot of smoking devices, most involving water. The general rule has been that the more expensive they are the faster they will break. There were some incredible pieces being generated by real artists about 20 years ago that, though gorgeous fun with elaborate interior structures that were alleged to magically enhance the smoke, would shatter from a harsh word. Cleaning them was a nightmare.

My current favorite waterpipe is a bottle with one of these in it. Nothing to break or even clean.

Why buy a fancy-schmancy hokum smokem when you can make one with cardboard!

This is great and all, but anyone know where I can find a proto-pipe?

for a friend...

R3DBAND is much more than bong reviews.

How much more, you ask? Dig deep into the site and you'll find out.

First, some history. The finer details escape me, but Redband and his older brother--currently, purveyor of the weed site the guy that could fly--fled their eastern home four-odd years ago for the green, dope-friendly pastures of Colorado. The bros lived together at first, killing it with a host of weed-smoking videos, but alas, interpersonal conflicts intervened. The drama that ensued was Reddit-level in its intensity, and deserves a look-at if you're into these things.

Besides bong reviews, the now-independent Redband gets accolades for, among other things, his superhuman feats of stonerdom, including smoking a full half-ounce of weed in a single session.

In the enlightened future, when the Olympics Games includes events for stoners, Redband will top the list of champions.

Every time I see stuff like this I think: Bongs:vaporizers::horses:cars

Which, if you like riding horses as a hobby, that's fine but if you're still riding your horse to go grocery shopping because you've refused to use a car instead you might seem a bit antiquated.
