Hey folks, I am new to this community and just wanted to say hello Also if you are around the Madison area and wanna add another guy to the group PM or email. I just moved back to the area and don't like the trip to Milwaukee if I wanna chill with a group. Also, I am looking into getting a vape. Currently I hit the bucket (gravity bong), with the occasional use of the pipe. I love the high I get from my bucket but I feel I waste a lot of weed this way. In your experience what is a vape high like compared to the gravity bong? I know there are variables to this but I just want some general info from your life. Thanks in advance!
Hey, I saw your intro and being from Mad-town. I'm up in Green Bay a few hours north. I have quite a few high school friends going to UW-Madison who I've chiefed with for years. Anyway, I see that you posted about having issues with hitting your "bucket" due to the fact that it burns up alot of weed and the reward is only one or two big rips off of it. I've hit my fair share of gravity bongs and I agree they are amusing to hit and have a special novelty "homemade" feel. To conserve weed, try packing single hits at a time; anymore and you're probably just torching it without being able to rip. Otherwise, I'd go get a smaller-sized spoon pipe with a pretty decent bowl on it. I find if you know how to hit a pipe, you can make the hits keep coming. I don't know what your smoking situation is, but mine has required a certain degree of awareness to the smell so i usually "stomp" the bowl with my thumb to put it out after each hit. Then using lighter precision, carefully hit a "corner" of the bowl each time so only the amount i'm going to take in is being lit as opposed to... the stereotypical elbow up, and the lighting process following some circular torching movement... As far as finding a hookup, their a dime-a-dozen in madison...if you haven't found anyone yet, start looking near the campus.
When I am alone, like now, I like to use a waterfall because i can get ripped off just a pinch. The gravity bong we use is a 5 gallon bucket and a cut of gallon milk jug. When we pack a full bowl we normally get 4 big hits or so. As for the pipe I definitely use accurate lighter usage; I am always very aware of "waste". a can stand passing a pipe and let someone hit flame on it all the bowl or letting it burn out without taking a hit. I love when the pipe is passed off and hit IMMEDIATELY for maximum usage! Basically, I am thinking of getting a vaporizer to cut back on waste but still get some big highs. As far as a guy, I have some friends I reach out to but I dont know there guys well enough to go direct. And to be honest I like to keep my stash secret sometimes and smoke alone! Sorry if the post doesn't flow well...
I gotcha, yeah. I don't know how exactly you guys do it, but when I made gravity-bongs etc I picked something that I could clear (large plastic vodka bottle)...I couldn't imagine filling a 5 gallon bucket completely and tryin to take it all in. *cough cough cough cough* Stale smoke makes ya cough! lol I'm a college student myself and I definitely hear you on the personal sessions...especially before long lectures or classes I need to be high in order to stand it. For that, I have a small pipe that I use and usually put a dank nuglet in there without breaking it up at all and I'll hit it at my leisure for a good 10-15 minutes. To a certain level, it depends what kind of bud you have available to. If you can get the crazy dank with the crystals and purple and red hairs all over it, you're obviously only going to need a few hits and you'll already be feeling a nice buzz. If its not the highest quality, you'll coincidentally either need to smoke more or rip it hard and heavy to catch one. (Perfect situation for a bong) I don't know how often it is that you encounter other stoners, but the best way is to just ask for weed. straight up. Most people nowadays don't care if you smoke, obviously use your best judgment with this one. There are still people who are very against it, but you can usually spot them or pickup on their feelings by hinting around at drug use and the like. If you know a friend or someone who consistently gets you bud, ask them to introduce you to "the guy". Most dealers I know have plenty of shit to push and as long as your straight with them, they're not overly concerned with whose getting it. I have found that more often than not, the middle-man is more worried about losing leverage in the deal than the dealer actually getting caught (which is the claim most people make). I usually drop a few hints around people I converse with that I know smoke, droppin lines like "damn i could sure use a bowl right about now" or something just to break the ice...and if it goes well i might take it a little further and say "Well, hey if you know where I can find some that would be the shit. My dealer I've been going to just moved out of the area." It's always good to say your previous dealer, since it gives the heads up that you're not a noob or a snitch and makes you sound trustworthy. It also makes it seem like you know whats up and you're pretty much looking for the best shit you can find. Avoid sounding desperate. In other words, when you make it to the endzone, act like you've been there before. hahah jk but really, being direct about what you want is good. And don't be afraid to turn down a shabby looking bag.
sorry crazy legs, i had a moment of weakness, I know better! It has been taken care of! Also I am in Milwaukee often, I went to school at Carroll so I have a lot of people in the area. and yes the gravity bong does terrible things like make you cough like nuts! the first bucket I hit I had only been smoking about 2 months, only out of a pipe. I have never, and never will I ever be that high again. I freaked for a second at the peak but then it was just amazing after. I went in not knowing what to expect, it really to weed to a new level for me. We also get some purple once a month outta milwaukee, I love the taste those little guys. What do you guys thing of the medical marijuana situation in WI? I saw something on the news last week or two ago and have not been able to find anything recent.
From what I've heard it is supposed to be on the 2010 ballot and Doyle asserts that he will pass the bill if it makes it to his desk. So, we all need to spread the word and rock the vote!
