While some tobacco pipe enthusiasts may disagree with this post, we must live in the present. Most of the United States has legalized marijuana. People are now asking many questions about this once taboo topic. For example, can they use the tobacco pipes they purchased from Paykoc Pipes to smoke the expensive cannabis they purchased from the state-licensed dispensary? You can smoke marijuana using any device, including aluminium cans, toilet paper rolls, bongs and glass pipes.
Why do more people not use tobacco pipes to smoke marijuana
It’s not unusual to see people smoking marijuana from a pipe, considering that weed is now decriminalized across most of the country. You may not even see someone doing this. Why? The tobacco pipe seems a good way to get a buzz, with the meerschaum pipes being a perfect fit for spacing out. But you won’t see it happen very often. Here are some good reasons that cannabis and tobacco pipes don’t get along.
There is no carb hole
Although it may seem insignificant, the carb hole on bongs and glass pipes allows the user to get the best hit every time. This key item is unavailable on meerschaum, briar pipes, or corn cob pipe. You’ll get a small hit from your cannabis, and it will likely cause you to waste a lot of marijuana.
The aftertaste of tobacco
Some people who have purchased tobacco pipes or accessories for their tobacco pipes are tempted to use these items to get high on cannabis. They quickly find out that the pot they get from stuffing a bowl with tobacco leaves and weed can taste the tobacco residue. The distinctive taste and smell of different cannabis strains can make the experience less enjoyable.
The big bowl
Have you ever taken a look at the bowl of meerschaum pipes. They’re huge. They are almost like you could cook your meals in them after you’ve finished your smoke. Many briar pipes have large bowls. This large bowl allows you to pack your favorite tobacco in it, light it up, and then enjoy a leisurely, long-lasting smoke while watching or reading your favorite shows. The large bowls are perfect for this purpose. Most cannabis users aren’t used to having to put half a bag in one bowl. There is a lot of potential for waste, and when you consider how much weed can be worth, waste is not something you want to learn.
There is no screen
To keep with the bowl theme, tobacco pipe bowls don’t have a screen at their bottom to prevent smaller pieces of cannabis from getting into the bowl. You’ll likely inhale a lot of expensive cannabis if you take a big draw on a pipe filled with tobacco. To make matters worse, some of the cannabis tidbits might be too hot for your throat and lungs.
Cannabis residue
Even if you are able to avoid some of these issues, smoking cannabis with your pipe will cause a lot of residue to build up in the bowl. The result can be quite unpleasant if the resin is mixed with the tobacco cake in the bowl. You will also need to clean your bowl more often due to the buildup of resin. Cleaning marijuana resin from a Briar Pipe is more difficult than cleaning it out of a metal or glass pot pipe.
Portability issues
The pipes made of glass or metal for cannabis use can be very small. These pipes can be easily slipped into any pocket, so you can keep your discreet. Tobacco pipes are different. You will attract a lot of attention if you are carrying a meerschaum or briar pipe around in your pocket. You can also drop it and break it.
Socially unacceptable
Stoners enjoy sharing small weed pipes and bongs. However, very few tobacco pipe owners have ever allowed another person to touch their pipe’s mouthpiece. If someone asks them if they want to smoke weed, they are more likely to be in an awkward situation.
It can shorten the lifespan of your pipe
It’s one thing to lighten up and occasionally smoke your pipe of tobacco. It’s quite another to share your pipe with people who use it like it was oxygen, and spend the night sharing it. Extreme use can dramatically reduce the lifespan of your pipe and may cause a hole in the bottom of your pipe after just a few weeks.
