Flower 101

Hemp flower has become a popular choice for those seeking the benefits of cannabinoids without the intense high associated with THC. Whether you're a seasoned smoker or new to the scene, understanding the different ways to enjoy hemp flower can enhance your experience. In this guide, we'll explore three classic methods: smoking in a joint, a pipe, and a bong.

ROLLING A JOINT: THE CLASSIC

Rolling a joint is perhaps the most classic and widely recognized method of smoking hemp flower. It’s simple, portable, and allows you to savor the natural flavors of the flower with each puff.

1. Simply grind up the flower
2. Place in a line on rolling paper
3. Add a filter
4. Roll up

Why roll a joint?

• Portability: Easy to carry and enjoy on the go.
• Social: Joints are great for sharing with friends.
• Customizable: You can control the size and mix in other herbs if desired

SMOKE IN A PIPE: CONVENIENCE

For those who prefer a quick, straightforward experience, a pipe is an excellent option. Pipes come in various materials—glass, wood, or metal—and offer a convenient way to enjoy hemp flower.

1. Start by grinding up the flower
2. Pack the bowl of the pipe tightly
3. Ignite the material while inhaling
4. Inhale as necessary

Why use a pipe?

• Convenience: Pipes are easy to use and require minimal preparation.
• Discreet: Pipes are small and easy to carry, making them ideal for quick sessions.
• Efficiency: Pipes deliver a concentrated experience, allowing you to savor every hit.

SMOKE IN A BONG: SMOOTH OPERATOR

If you’re looking for a smoother, cooler smoke, a bong might be your go-to. Bongs use water filtration to cool the smoke, making it easier on your lungs and providing a more potent hit.

1. Fill the bong with water no more than 1 inch above the tip of the downstem
2. Grind up the flower and pack the bong bowl at the outside portion of the downstem
3. Ignite the flower while inhaling through the mouthpiece at the top to draw the smoke into the bong and stop igniting the bowl and remove when you are satisfied with the amount of smoke inside
4. Inhale the smoke in the chamber, hold the smoke in your lungs for 2-3 seconds, exhale, and place the bowl back in the stem
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed

Why choose a bong?

• Smooth Hits: The water filtration cools the smoke, reducing harshness on your throat.
• Potent Experience: Bongs allow for larger hits, making for a more intense experience.
• Ritualistic: Using a bong can feel like a more ceremonial way to enjoy hemp flower, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day.

Whether you prefer the simplicity of a joint, the convenience of a pipe, or the smoothness of a bong, smoking hemp flower offers a variety of experiences to suit every mood and occasion. Experiment with these methods to find your favorite way to enjoy the rich, aromatic qualities of hemp flower.
