What are the pros and cons of using a pipe?

Im back into weed. Sorry.

There's one big con.

SMOKING. My advice. Stop smoking.

If you mean a standard pipe where you still use tobacco in the mix then the pros and cons are pretty much the same as smoking a joint.

No, We make our own in the street and use only weed. :)

Well then you would have to consider what materials the pipe is made out of and if heating them would produce any harmful smoke.

If you are only using cannabis in the mix then you would have the associated risks with that.

A soda can wouldn't be harmful right?

From what I have heard personally smoking through a can or aluminium creates more health concerns. A google search turned up this site:

http://www.ukcia.org/culture/smoking.php

Be warned that some substances give off toxic fumes when hot - try not to use plastic bottles, aluminium containers, and be wary of cardboard/paper that has been printed on for instance.

Whilst I cannot vouch for the reliability of the site, it does contain information that I have seen on other sites. Also I am not linking this site to promote drug usage, just to inform you about it, if anyone has an issue with this post, PM me or feel free to report it etc

The best way for you to totally avoid health concerns of smoking cannabis would be to quit all together. Just because on method of smoking may be less harmful than another. It is still harmful.

glass pipe, smoking is never good, if you have to, and are concerned about health, i would consider buying a vaporizer

I second this.

And also, don't use aluminium cans. From my knowledge, and from a quick google following up from earlier posts in this thread, aluminium and the paint on it can give off some nasty cancerous fumes when melted / heated up.

Don't forget that it is illegal though to smoke it.

There are no pros and the cons would be the obvious health issues.

A gentleman's pipe would be pretty classy looking. Probably not on a teenager in the wrong attire hanging out with a bunch of lame, stoned friends, but still classier than other pipes.

^i use a gentlemans pipe
there like blunts, they turn a little weed into a lot and you only have to light it once, very nice smoke
all my friends love him, his names davey, but you have to clean tobacco pipes after every use

Moderation. Just be wise about it and there's no harm done.

vapes are expensive, but a decent glass bowl can be as cheep as $15, if your worried, just buy glass
