Smoke weed, smoke pot, smoke cannabis, smoke marijuana – whatever you call it you want to know the best smoking method for you. Whether you’re an experienced smoker, or this is your first time smoking legalized recreational cannabis or medical marijuana in your entire life, the ideal ways to smoke weed will differ for everyone. From glass pipes and bongs to one hitters and vaporizers, there are many different ways to consume cannabis. It all starts with understanding the basics: knowing what the differences between different smoking techniques are, how they work, and why they matter. Researching each method will help you determine which smoking device is right for you based on preferences like flavor profile or intensity of the effect. Let’s explore some of the most popular and efficient ways to smoke weed!
Regular Rolling Papers
Joints and blunts are the most classic methods for smoking cannabis – it’s what most people picture when they want to smoke weed. Rolling a joint or blunt involves rolling up ground marijuana with rolling paper or tobacco paper (also known as blunt wraps). This method is great for those who enjoy a more direct inhalation feeling, as well as those who prefer a more flavorful weed smoking experience. They are easy to carry around and you can be ready to light up whenever the moment seems right. The downside is that joints/blunts are not usually very efficient when it comes to saving flower; they can easily burn through an entire gram in one session. It can also be hard to roll a joint unless you are extremely dexterous or well practiced – sometimes that paper just does not cooperate!
How To Roll and Smoke a Joint
Probably the first of the smoking methods that come to mind when you’re thinking about consuming cannabis is a good old fashioned joint. They’re a great way to smoke weed – they work exactly like cigarettes so they’re familiar to…
Make It A Spliff
We are loathe to recommend using tobacco products, but mixing tobacco from a cigarette with your ground up weed – called a spliff – can provide a smoother smoke. It also makes it easier for those with low tolerance as you get less weed in one hit. It is certainly not the healthiest way to smoke weed, but if you don’t smoke tobacco regularly it also gives a tiny bit of a head rush which some people may enjoy (yes I am some people).
Glass Pipes
Glass pipes are one of the most popular smoking methods for the discerning cannabis consumer due to their convenience, portability, and ease of use. Glass pipes can look like little works of art, but their simplistic design is perfect for letting the smoke cool and mellow before inhaling it into your lungs. Pipes are typically filled with dry flowers that are smoked out of one end, with the smoke passing through a small chamber before being inhaled. Glass pipes come in many shapes and sizes ranging from large oversized pipes to tiny more discreet pipes.
Smoking Weed Efficiently
Glass pipes are also quite efficient when it comes to conserving flower; smoking from a glass pipe typically requires less than half a gram per session so you can save money and get higher than using the same amount in a joint. The only downside is that they do not provide an optimal flavor profile because they do not filter out impurities like ash and resin as effectively as other devices like a bong or bubblers.

So, weed has just been legalized in your state. You’ve never really smoked, indeed never really been around it. You don’t even know anyone who has (to your knowledge). But you’re curious. It seems like something you might like to…
Bubblers
Smoking weed from a bubbler provides a unique and gratifying experience for marijuana enthusiasts. A bubbler is essentially a glass pipe with a built-in bowl, which provides additional water filtration to cool and moisten the smoke before inhalation. With a bubbler, one can enjoy the smoothness of their favorite strain as the water cools it while also enjoying reduced throat irritation, which is an important factor for the conscious smoker. Furthermore, bubblers are easy to use; simply add water to the chamber of the bubbler, fill it with weed and inhale! It’s a great way to enjoy a smoke – even the bubbling sound is pleasant and relaxing!
Vaporizers
Vaporizers have become increasingly popular over the past few years due to their efficiency and convenience; unlike joints/blunts and pipes, vaporizers do not require any preparation or cleaning before use so they are perfect for on-the-go consumption. They also tend to be much more discreet than other methods since they emit virtually no odor when used correctly, and they are technically smoke free – it’s all vapor! But they require a lot of power and sophitication to heat up the weed quickly and accurately, so they ain’t cheap.
Healthier?
Vaporizing is a often considered a healthier way to smoke weed as it eliminates many of the toxins, chemicals, and carcinogens found in smoke. The vapor produced by vaporizers contains fewer harmful substances than smoke, making it easier on your lungs and reducing the risk of respiratory issues. Using a vaporizer can help you get more out of your product since you’ll be inhaling purer vapors that contain higher concentrations of active ingredients like THC or CBD. And vaping offers an improved flavor profile compared to smoking due to its lack of combustion which allows for better taste and aroma from your products.
Having said this, there are risks associated with vaping weed oil specifically, so we recommend if you are going to use a vaporizer you should use cannabis flower, not oil. For this reason we don’t recommend vape pens.
How To Vape Weed
Vaping is a great way to imbibe cannabis without inhaling burning vegetable matter (in case you don’t like that) but without the delayed effect and uncertainty of edibles (is it working yet? Should I take more?). Vaporizers work by heating…
Gravity Bong
Many people are enticed by the intense experience of smoking weed from a gravity bong. The gravity bong stands out as a great way to smoke by delivering much larger hits with significantly enhanced potency. It works by creating vacuum pressure within the device (often a plastic bottle) which captures smoke and floods the chamber resulting in incredibly powerful bong rips – absolutely nothing beats it. Whether it is for recreational use or medicinal, users are highly encouraged to know their limits when trying gravity bongs. With caution, this method can provide an enjoyable and unique experience although it may not be for everyone. There’s no ideal method, but for what it’s worth, it’s our favorite! If it’s your first time smoking weed you probably won’t start here. But you should!

One Hitter
These small smoking pipes, one hitters, are designed to provide one hit worth of cannabis with each use. They typically measure only three to four inches in length, are small enough to fit comfortably into your hand, and one-time-use models exist for disposability. A one hitter typically resembles a traditional cigarette or pipe and includes one open end for drawing in smoke and one “bowl”-like end used to hold 0.25-0.75 grams of weed. Some one hitters come with a cap on the bowl end that can be used to protect the contents of the one hitter from external dirt and debris.
Unique One Hitters
There are a lot of ways to smoke your weed. You can use a joint, pipe, or bong, or even eat an edible. But sometimes, you just want something quick and easy. That’s where one hitters come in. These little…
Since a one hitter is smaller than any full-sized smoking instruments, it is very easy to carry around and store away discreetly. A one hitter has the advantage of providing a quick hit but also one that has moderate and easily controllable potency, and they give cannabis users a reliable and enjoyable way to consume cannabis without raising any eyebrows. If you like smoking smaller amounts, a one hitter can be your best friend!
Dabbing
Dabbing has become an incredibly popular consumption method in recent years, and with the best dab rigs available on the market you can ensure an enjoyable, smooth experience. Dab rigs can be expensive, but using a dab rig is a unique process compared to other smoking devices; a specialized heating element heats up wax shatter placed on a nail, creating vapor that is then inhaled. The intense flavor and immediate effects make dabbing a highly sought-after way of consuming cannabis products, but it’s best to exercise caution when using this powerful device.
