Bongs, those essentially simple pieces of equipment used to filter smoke from herbs and deliver it through the mouth for a legal high, have their origin in the Far East, in Thailand and Laos.
The term itself has been used for hundreds, if not thousands, of years to describe bamboo worked into a tubular structure, and nowadays they are being manufactured by modern methods and using synthetic materials to bring the joys of a safe and legal high to a growing number of health conscious smokers. They are available at many sites on the web and also in the high street, and are a much safer way of inhaling plant derivatives than smoking cigarettes or blunts.
Water is used in the bong to filter harmful substances present in the smoke from burning herbs of various kinds, and it also cools the smoke in the process. A number of aromatic substances such as rose petals and different types of natural oils can be added to adjust the effect of the filtered smoke and induce a sensation of calm and wellbeing.
For serious bong users, glass bongs are especially attractive because, although bamboo is the traditional material favoured by enthusiastic purists, it contributes its own unwanted residues to the smoke. Glass contributes nothing, and therefore the smoke contains only toxins which are filtered away and the active substances that induce the desired effect.
There are all sorts of models available, from portable bongs to multi-pipe bongs that are used by a group of people in a social setting.
