    dont smoke tin foil.

    its pretty controversial whether or not smoking aluminum foil is healthy and you're going to get mixed answers.

    just make an apple pipe.

    The simple answer;
    Yes. Its bad.

    Do not smoke out of aluminum foil. some ofthe foil will vaporize and you'll inhale some of the metal in the smoke. the same thing applies for soda cans and whatnot.

    The metal pipes and one hitters you buy at shops are fine though because they are not foil, even if they are aluminum.

    A regular old bic won't heat up the foil enough to release the toxins (so I'm told) so give it a go. It'll taste like ass though.

    The whole reason for the bong was to avoid rolling a joint, all I have is treated paper which is super toxic.

    do you have a apple, carrot, or potato? make a pipe out of any of the above.
     
  12. #12 Spliff_Word, Feb 24, 2009
    Fuck smoking out of a carrot or potatoe. I wouldn't like the taste they impart. Apples have a nice added flavor tho!

    Yea thats no good and just kinda crack heady, IMO. Make an apple pipe or the old spoon and knife trick or get some papers, bible papers etc.
     
  14. #14 GlitterPaws, Feb 24, 2009
    So a soda can is definitely not good to smoke with?
     
  15. #15 glasscollector, Feb 24, 2009
    personally I just think its gross. get a cheap 10 dollar pipe

    I've used tin foil bowls many times. Not anymore, but back in the day when I didn't have a piece, I'd make sick bongs and use tinfoil as the bowl.

    Never had a problem. I wouldn't recommend doing it, but I doubt it'll hurt you. If your paranoid, burn the bowl with a lighter to get rid of any of the "toxins".

    probably not the best thing to do if you think you'll enjoy remembering things for more than 15 seconds at the age of 50..
    your call tho.

    I've heard either tin foil or aluminum can lead to alzheimers. I just try to stay away from things that crackheads use aka lightbulb vapors, pop can, or even pop bottle bongs.

    aluminum foil is tin foil, tin foil is aluminum foil..... tin foil has entered the lexicon as Al foil
