The Advantages of the Bong

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.

Getting High Safely

Getting high is often associated with repulsive behaviour such as crouching in doorways and sticking needles in your arm, glue sniffing or snorting cocaine through a straw.  But these days, thanks in large part to the ubiquity of the internet, it is easy to avoid this shady side of the practice and attain a legal high through the use of materials and equipment that is not only safe to use and environmentally friendly, but even fashionable.

All sorts of normal, decent people like to gather in pubs to relax and unwind over a drink, but increasing numbers of folk are discovering the joys of using bongs and vaporisers to deliver that sense of wellbeing and calm in a safe and healthy way.

There are few legal substances more damaging to the body than tobacco smoked in cigarettes.  The filter is relatively ineffective, and the process of burning the paper yields toxic substances that can and do damage the lungs.

With bongs, the smoke is filtered naturally through water which also cools it down.  Many bong brands also use ice as an extra filter layer to further reduce the tar and toxins in the smoke.

Vaporisers don’t produce any smoke at all, but only a pure vapour that is free of all harmful substances and is actually good for the lungs rather than destroying them.

Give vaporisers or bongs a try if you are tired of expensive and harmful cigarettes but don’t wish to give up smoking altogether, or are looking for a healthier delivery method for your choice of legal highs.

Different Herbs you can Take Legally

Ginseng bath salts are taken to energise and reinvigorate the body and can be taken orally in smaller doses, while Guarana capsules can help to support energy levels and maintain an active lifestyle.

Sida cordifolia is a type of herbal Ecstasy which is completely legal to use, and is often taken as an aphrodisiac.  Depending on how you react to the drug, it can also have the effect of inducing a feeling of anxiety.  However, some people feel the possible negative effects of taking this herb are far outweighed by the overall sense of wellbeing it induces.  It is not considered an addictive substance.

Hawaiian Baby Woodrose is a powerful hallucinogenic which is traditionally used in religious initiation ceremonies and is renowned for its visionary trips and otherworldly sensations.  Although the drug provides a very similar sensation to taking LSD, it does induce less profound visual images.  Trips can last as long as six to eight hours and end with a warm tranquil feeling of wellbeing once the effects start to wear off.

Kratom is available in different forms and is similar to taking opium by creating a relaxed dreamy state of mind and a tranquil calm, at the same time as helping with mental alertness and keeping you clear eyed and bushy tailed throughout the night and into the following day.

These are just some of the legal highs available, with many others to choose from.

Popular Vaporisers

A vaporiser might sound like some lethal weapon in a science fiction film, but it is actually a harmless piece of equipment used for delivering a mild high for recreational and medicinal purposes.  Vaporisers at the top end of the market, such as the magnificently named Volcano Vaporiser, are used in aromatherapy to deliver a carefully controlled dose of herbal vapour to the patient.  This induces a sensation of calm and wellbeing, and vaporisers are often used in conjunction with other homeopathic treatments such as acupuncture.

The holistic approach of natural medicine can be experienced by anyone now, because the internet has made available a vast selection of vaporisers to suit all requirements and pockets, and the same sites will also sell you whatever herbs you want, with discounts on bulk orders and other promotions.

At the opposite end of the market to the Volcano Vaporiser is the humble portable version, a hand-held vaporiser that can easily be carried in the pocket of luggage and is convenient for the odd smoke when you are on the move.

All vaporisers work by heating up a mixture of herbs in a base unit to just short of ignition and then collecting the resultant vapour for inhalation by the user.  Vaporisers are considered superior to bongs and other legal high equipment because there is no smoke given off.  The Volcano Vaporiser actually has a detachable tank for the vapour, which is then delivered through a system of valves, but the principle is just the same.

Ashtrays in Different Styles

Nowadays, smokers are able to choose from a wide range of ashtrays to suit their particular lifestyle or living arrangements.  Novelty ashtrays that resemble kitchen objects such as fruit bowls in bold primary colours can brighten up a room and blend seamlessly with interior decor and furnishings, whilst providing a convenient deposit for cigarette butts and discarded ash.

Glass ashtrays are a popular choice in living rooms or when used during social occasions at dinner parties; clear crystal helps to reflect light from crockery and glassware at dinner tables to create a sophisticated ambiance.  Large plate-sized ashtrays for shared use also come in crystal or ornate designs that are ideal for elegant table designs and centre pieces.  Glass ashtrays are available in shot glasses, spinning discs and bottle tops as well as fruit and ceramic leaves.

Novelty ashtrays that are made to look like everyday objects are the most versatile, especially when they come in the form of spinning ashtrays such as dice, or themed characters and icons from music, TV, and film.  Rubik’s cubes are the ultimate 80’s icon, perfect for games rooms and themed rooms.  Supporters of football sometimes use ashtrays that champion their chosen teams and ashtrays that embody the womanly form grace many a bar and dining room of even the most modest country or men’s club.  Regardless of your needs, you are sure to find an ashtray that complements your existing room.

Healthy Highs

If you want to stay on the safe side of the law but get high and enjoy yourself at the same time, there are a number of options to choose from.  The most common is alcohol, of course, but increasingly people are becoming aware of the health problems excessive drinking can cause.

There are several healthy alternatives that are becoming increasingly popular as the equipment and herbs are becoming more widely available at more affordable prices, especially over the internet.

Short of going the route of partly natural but definitely toxic hard drugs and risking your liberty as well as your sanity for the sake of a quick high, you can opt for the perfectly legal herbal mixtures now available, together with the equipment for safely inhaling their smoke or vapour.

Vaporisers are a good example of a healthy way of getting high, and as well as a decent kick you will know that you are inhaling a pure vapour produced from heating natural plant products in the safest possible way.  In fact some of the more sophisticated vaporisers are now commonly used in aromatherapy to induce calm and relaxation in patients.

Bongs are simpler and more traditional pieces of kit that use water to filter out toxins from smoke and can even be used with tobacco.

It seems that with modern vaporisers, bongs and other variations on traditional equipment we have come full circle and are using new technologies to deliver the pleasant and life-affirming highs that our ancestors in their unspoilt and uncomplicated state took for granted.

Bongs and Vaporizers

The act of inhaling the smoke from burnt plant material goes back thousands of years and seems to have been around since the very earliest times.  Like most other inventions it was probably discovered accidentally and soon became standard practice, and today’s pipe smoker is the inheritor of a tradition almost as old as walking upright.

To primitive man, as also to the remote tribes of today, the necessary materials were all around them in the form of natural tubes such as bamboo and other plants for the equipment, herbs for the ingredients and flint-generated fire for the fuel.  Fortunately, with the exponential growth of the internet, indulging in a legal high is easy even for those of us who have lost the knowledge of how to hollow out a cane or create a fire.

Bongs are available in a variety of materials, from acrylic and aluminium to glass and wood, although glass is preferable for an uncontaminated smoke.  The herbal mixture is simply heated until smoke is given off and then water is used to filter the smoke and remove toxins before it is sucked up.  The mild hallucinogens in the smoke are also partially filtered out as well, so bongs are not ideal for a strong hit, and are more comparable to a few pints down at the local pub.

Vaporizers deliver a harder punch as they don’t actually ignite the herbs but only heat them up, and the vapour contains no harmful elements, which is why this equipment is used in aromatherapy.
