Is it safe to make a pipe out of a hockey puck?

Discussion in 'Apprentice Marijuana Consumption' started by TheLastRebel, Jul 4, 2013.

  1. Hi there
     
    so i have a bit of a situation, i had a really cheap glass hookah/bubbler thing that i have been using for sometime, unfourtantly today was its last, as it got clogged to the point of hoplessness.
     
    Anyhow, the metal bowl is salvagable if i cut it off the usless downsteam, as well as the hosses and suction piece.
     
    My question is, if i drill some holes into this old rubber hockey puck and make an improvised piece out of the spare parts i already have, will it be safe to smoke out of or will it posion me?
     
    All answers or better suggestions are appreciated

     
  2. apples are healthiest
     
  3. yes i know my friend, however i would like something i can reuse , an apple would rot out before long
     
  4. i feel like as long as you are not melting the puck or burning anything that's not metal or glass (like the bowl in a metal or glass piece), it'll be fine for your lungs. don't take my word as certain though lol
     
  5. make a gravity bong instead
     
  6. See the problem with that is i want it to be easy to conceal as i am still living with my parents intill the fall for college, and they hate that i smoke weed, so i have to hide it when i do.
     
  7. make a gravity bong with a water bottle it won't be noticed by your parents because they won't examine the water bottle you're holding and ask about it
     
  8. u dont have papers? always keep papers.  walk to the store and buy papers or a cigarillo
     
  9.  
    why dont you just clean the bubbler/hookah you own?
     
  10. Well I'll tell you the think I told you in the other thread...
     
    A puck is small and the flame would be 100% close enough to melt rubber. The smoke would also be hot enough to release some carcinogens most likely. Clean your piece, get papers, make a GB or dont smoke.
     
  11. The Canadian struggle
     
  12. I am canadian too, thats the funny part
     
  13. It is busted now man, and it was clogged in unreachable places, id expect it though for a convience store piece
     
  14. Idk if it is possible, but if so I would love to see some pics lol. I love novelty homemade items!
     
  15. im probally uploading some pics tommrow
     
  16. No shame dude, I contemplated making a bong out of an old Nike Bauer stick I broke
     
  17. its safe to do anything if you smoke enough weed
     
  18. my last attempt at a homeade bong was an Olde English 800 bottle.... i couldent drill throught it though lol :cool:
     
  19. GanjFarmer hit it right in the head! Plastics and pot do NOT mix! To save my self some hassle, I am just going to repost why you should NEVER let plastic and pot mix!

    Now, I know you guys think using plastic in a bong is a bad idea, but you may not realize just how bad it is for your health! You may have younger family members who may be tempted to make a plastic bong, please show them this-

    Fatal alveolar haemorrhage following a "bang" of cannabis

    (Fatal lung hemorrhage after using a bong with cannabis)

    The new methods of cannabis consumption (home made water pipe or "bang") may be responsible for fatal respiratory complications. We present a case, with fatal outcome, of a man of 19 years with no previous history other than an addiction to cannabis using "bang". He was admitted to intensive care with acute dyspnoea.

    Bongs are a new way of using cannabis. ( :laughing: ) Here we have a healthy 19 year old pot smoker dying. He was admitted with severe breathing trouble.

    A CT scan showed bilateral, diffuse alveolar shadowing. He was anaemic with an Hb of 9.3g/l. Bronchoalveolar lavage revealed massive alveolar haemorrhage.

    He was bleeding into his lungs.

    Investigations for infection and immunological disorder were negative and toxicology was negative except for cannabis. Antibiotic treatment was given and favourable progress allowed early discharge.

    He was healthy except for using cannabis. He quickly got better when we gave him antibiotics, so we discharged him.

    Death occurred 15 days later due to alveolar haemorrhage following a further "bang" of cannabis. Autopsy showed toxic alveolar haemorrhage.

    He was dead 15 days later due to lung hemorrhaging after smoking more pot. The autopsy showed that it was chemical damage causing the bleeding.

    The probable mechanism is pulmonary damage due to acid anhydrides released by the incomplete combustion of cannabis in contact with plastic.

    The burning pot and plastic made some nasty acidic fumes.

    These acids have a double effect on the lungs: a direct toxicity with severe inflammation of the mucosa leading to alveolar haemorrhage and subsequently the acid anhydrides may lead to the syndrome of intra-alveolar haemorrhage and anaemia described in occupational lung diseases by Herbert in Oxford in 1979.

    These acids do a double whammy on your lungs: first the acid burns and poisons your lungs, causing to them swelling up and then the little air sacks and blood vessels start to rupture; a dude named Dr. Herbert wrote about how this really messed your lungs up.

    It manifests itself by haemoptysis and intravascular haemolysis.

    A person who has this is coughing up blood, and their blood cells are literally breaking down into bits in their veins.

    We draw attention to the extremely serious potential consequences of new methods of using cannabis, particularly the use of "bang" in homemade plastic materials.

    This whole thing freaked us out because we can see the possibility of more deaths because of the use of plastic in bongs where it can get in contact with burning pot.



    Blades, tell your kid brothers, "Pay attention, PLASTIC FUMES CAN KILL YOU!" Unfortunately, the type of plastic wasn't specified, but I doubt if any of them do your lungs any good!


    Granny :wave:
     
  20. Creative idea but I don't think it would be the healthiest on your lungs.
